Democratic candidate for Sheriff, wonAd be
defeated..
We'plece theee charges on record—who will
attempt to controvert them
Gov Curtin and hia friende, with their none
bare-faced impudence, olaim that his adminis
tration has exercised wonderful economy, and
roundly assort that he was InstrUmental in the
recent reduction of the State debt through the
agency of . the Sinking Fund. Neer RIB a
claim made that had leas foundation in fact,
as we shall he able to demonstrate to the sat
isfaction of every tax paper who desires to
know the truth.
Not long sinee, the Commiesioners of the
Sinking Fund, comprising the AnditorGeneral,
State Treasurer and Secretary of the Common
wealth, notified the Governor that they had
paid off some nine hundred theustuuldollars
of the State debt, *hereupon the Governor; as
required by law, issued .his proclamation,
an
nouncing the caneellation andiextinguishment
of, the amount of debt certified to him' as 'paid
by these Commiosionera. This was the begin
ning and the end, •the sum and substance of
Governor Ourtli's *gene" in this transaction.
Re had no more to do with the creation of•the
Sinking Fund and, appreprieting money to the
oancellstion of the Suite debt,: theatile Empe
ror of China; and not half eci ninth to do with,
putting money into the Trenatley as with taking
it out to laviehupon his shoddy associates and
needy partisann. ' ,
Now let us see who deserves the credit for
proposing and creating this Sinking Fund,
through the operation of widolt .
porti9n of
State debt is , annually extinguished. •At ,the
session of the Legillature of 1856; Charles R.
Dudek*, then a Member of the State Renate,
and now Demooratio member of the Mailed
States Senate,
,proposed certain amendments
to the Constitution, and among. thern the Sec
tion creating a. Sinking Fund. .These sinned
menta were , adopted by the Democratic Legis
lature of- 1858,.again adopted by the Demo
cratic Legislature of 1857, submitted to the
vote of the people at the election of 18 5 7,
adopted and made part of the Constitution of
Pennsylvania, In the followieg words:
" To provide for the payment of the present
debt and any .additieeed debt Controlled so
aforesaid, the Legislature shall; at its first ses
sion after the adopt* of thine:mud:fleet, nee
ate a Sinking Fund, which, shall , be Butrufietat
to pay the accruing interest on such debt,' and
annually to reduce. tho principal! 'thereof by a
Bum not less than $250,000 ; which Sinking
Fund shall consist of the net annual income of
the public , works, from time to tinie owned by
the State, or the, proceeds of ,the - sale of the
same, or any part thereof, and of the income or
proceeds of sale of stocks owned by the State,
together with ether funds ,or resources that
m 1 4- be deelealed by law. The Bad Sinking
ktunfmay he increased, from time to timc, by
assigning to it any part of ,the taxes,:or other
revenues of the. State, not required for the
orthnary, and current expenses of
and uniees in case of war, invasion or insur
rection, no part of the said Sinking Fund shall
be used or applied otherwise than in extinguish
ment of •the public debt, until the: amount of I
such debt is redttaad below the , sum' of Ave
millions of dollars." .
In accordance with the amendment' lo the
Constitittion, the Legislature of 1858, passed
an act assigning certain revenue to the Oink
ing Fund, and directing their application:to the
payment of the interest and principal of the
Slate debt. , Among tke-reienuee thus; applied
to the Sinking Fund we find tonnage , fax paid
by radroadit. Will Governor Curtin-'deny that
he was instrumental in depriving the Sinking
Fund of this some. of revenue, amounting to
more than $BOO,OOO annually, and that he ap
proved of a bill the Tonnage Taal?
We have thus establiehed beyond controversy
that the Sinking Fund Wan Mated ,by the aka
stitution.-that revenues were assigned it by the
Legislature as directed by the Constitution, and
that so tar from having any agency, even the
most remote, in putting money into thia Sink
ing Fund, Governor Certin has, by his action
helped to take out, revenues amounting to more
than Tian& Iteltlenn .TnetigAND
How absurd then to claim for him the pecu
liar glory of having paid off a million of the
State -debt, when the truth is, that hie ally
sfency in the matter was to issue a proclama
tion announcing the amounit liquidated through
the operation of a Sinking Fund, created long
before.his official existence commenced.
The disastrous defeat of Gen. - Roseorans is
fully confirmed. He has fallen back upon
Chattanooga, after sustaining a fearful loss in
killed and wounded: fie was overwhelmed by
numbers, and . after as desperate a Struggle as
it was possible for men to make, his shattered
columns were forced to retreat. •Roseorans,
safe, as we trust, in Chattanooga, may, when
joined by Burnside, be soon in a condition to
agaitt advance.. But this will hot bring to life
the dead uselessly slain, or restore the limbs
of the minted. at this time Ile more terrible
disaster could have befallen us ; and what
makes it the'more to be regretted is the 'fact
that timely reinforcement would have prevent.

their Idol, the man to whoce slightest nod they
require "unquestioning submission," is the
very rankest secessionist in the land. We Irish

Paris correspondent, writing on the French

The. Federal Government may as yet .have
taken no official steps in the matter, but nu
merous private fetters from. America express
the strong dissatisfaction felt at the proceed
ings in _Mexico, and the conviction that the
government' at Washington reckons on not al
lowing the arrangements that have been made
to remain long as they are, without very seri
ous notice of them. The position the French
GovernMent finds itself in is difficult and deli
cate, and yon may depend that Mexican attire
are, at this moment, the principal subject of
its thoughts and anxiety.
Tha Times has a • leader, in answer to a cor
respondent who contencie that the two ships in
the Mersy, supposed to be for the Confede
rates, should be seized. The Times remarks,
in reply, that if . the Ministers defend these
vessels we do not think they would be justified
in doing soe but the queition entirely depende
on the evidence, whica can only be known
hereafter, as legal proofs are • wanting; but con
chiliei by saying : After all, perhaps, our cor
respondent 16 simply expressing a desire which
we have no doubt is pretty generally felt, that
the governmet would cut the vexatious knot
by detaining the two stem rams, and trusting
the case to a trial. Ho.wever, that matter

Burneidee force's, which were yesterday with
in thirty miles, and were expected to be up
with him to-day, when a forward movement
would be promptly made upon the lines of the
enemy at Pigeon ,Mountain. •
The utmost confidence is felt here that upon
the junction of Burnside with Roseorans the
enemy would be badly beaten, and compelled
to fall back upon Rome or Atlanta. •
In the meantime ' much nolieitude is ex
pressed in regard to the movements of General
Meade to take advantage of the depletion of
the rebel'artny in Virginia.

NEWS FROM JAPAN AND CHINA.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.—Arrived, ship
Herald of the Morning, from Boston.
A private letter from the American Minis
ter, Mr. Prnyn, datad Hanagawa, Japan, Aug.
10, says that the prompt resentment of the out
rage
,npon our flag
,has milted most favorably.
The Wyoming, with six vino, destroyed a Jap
anesesteamei, bark :and brig mounting twenty.
two. guns, besides engaging six batteries. The
accomplishment of somnoh with little means
astonished'the government and people of Japan,
and, what is strange, the government is obliged
to us.
TUB SOLDIERS' RIGHT TO VOTE.
When a eoklier returns to Ms election district,
he resumes all the civil rights of citizenship, and
his residence being unimpaired by his temporary
absence, he has a right to vote on election day, but
under the Constitution, to which his fealty is due,
he can acquire no right to vote elsewhere, except by
a change of residence from one district to another.

THE lINION,
"These States (I,i:4Th-rift

but `their collective glories are in the Union. By
all means, at all hazards, are they to be main
tained in their integrity an'd the full ntearart of
their.constitutional rights for. only so is the Union
to be preserved—only so is it worth preserving.
It is the perfection of the prismatic colors, which
blended, produce the ray of light. It, is the' com
pleteness of these assembled sovereignties, lacking
nothing which they have not lent for a great pur
pose, that makes the Union precious. This word
Union; is a word of gracious omen. It implies
confidence and affection—mutual support and-pro
tection against external dangers. It is the chosen
expression of the strongest paesion ofyoung hearts.
It is the charmed circle within which the family
dwells. It is man helping his fellow-man in this
rugged, world. It is States, perfect in themselves,
confederated for mutual advantage. It is the peo
ple of States, separated by lines, and interests, and
institutions, and usages, and laws, all forming one
glorious nation—all Onoviv onward to the same
sublime destiny, and all instinct with - acommon
life. Our fathers pledged their lives, their for
tunes, and their sacred honors, to form this Union
—let mire be pledged to maintain it."—Quo. W.

Extract from the decision of Judge `Pooh-
WARD sustaining the stay ,law passed by. our
Legislature in favor of the soldier:
"Now, if a stay of execution for three years
would not be tolerated in ordinary UM* did not
•
these circumstances constitute an emergency that
justified the . pushing of legislation to the extremest
limit of the Constitution P No eitit on , co uld be
blamed for volunteering. He was invoked to do so
by appeals as strong as his lobe of country. In
the nature of things Moo is nothing unreasonable
in exempting a soldier's property from execution
whilet he is absent froth -honie battling for the
supremacy'of the Constitution 'andthe integrity of
the Union. And when he has. not run before ht.
vas sent, but has yielded himself up to the call of
country, his self-sacrificing' patriotism pleads,
trumpet-tongued, for
,all the indulgence front his
creditors which the Legislature have power to gra n?.
If the term of indulgence seem long in this instant-,
it toms not longer than the time for which the Pre
&mit and Congress demanded the soldier's ser.
vices."
