g0j Davis, our candidate for Auditor
Goncral, is tho well known coinmandor of
tho gallant old 104th Regiment, with him
at its head, won impcrishablo renown in
many a hard-fought battlo. A shattered
arm, disabled lor life, is tho honorable
proof ho boars with him of tho reality of
his devotion to tho Union, which none will
be craven as to tho gainsay. Our can
didate for Surveyor General, Major Lin
ton, was an officer of tho same regiment
tho 54th Pennsylvania that his competi
tor on tho Pepublioan ticket, Col. Camp
boll, commanded, and is beloved by all
the Pennsylvania boys of tho Army of tho
Potomac, as tho fighting man of his regi
ment. He, too, is a battle scarred col
dior, whoso mutilated body attotts bis
self-sacrificing heroism in tho onuso of tho
Union. Both can handle the pon as readi

havo every requisite for tho faitful admin

been nominated.
With suoh candidatcc, placed upon a
platform at onco loyal, patriotio, conscr

"Taxing Babies."
Wc havo reoeived a number of letters
from different parts of the county und
district, complaining ol the instructions
given by the Assessor of Internal Reve
nue of this district to his AsMMauts. Wo
have refraiped fiom piicliBhing thorn be
cause we bad no disposition to embarrass
the Assessor in hU onerous labors. Of-
course we aro nut "nosted." but in our
poor judgment tho order to charge each
farmer three dollars a week for each child
is as rcuiculous as it is unjust. It is vir
tually ''a tax on babies." It is said to bo
tho poor man's luck to have "largo f.im
I ilics.'' Surely it is not the intention of
the law to tax him because of this sort of
luck- Col. Co. Republican.
In tho Dr's great anxioty lo oust Isaac,
I he is now and then driven to publish some
unpalpiible truths, Wo have copied tho
! wbolo of one ; beoause we desiro to re
.
call to tho recollection of our Democratic
friends, the fact that our speakers asserted,
during Ihe last campaign, that -'babies"
would be taxed nest, and hero we have it
i the shape of a "ohargo" of "three dol-
lars a week" for each child ! !
By the aet of March 3, 1865, tbo Sec-
rctary of the Treasury is authorized tojfonse; promote tho goncral wolfarc, und
horrow,in the aggrcgato,SIX HUNDRED ,
MILLIONS of dollars, and the Honds is-
susd therefore are not taxable for stato, oo.,
township or borough purposes. It thus j
withdraws from the taxablo property of
the oountrv those millions of dollar : and '
of course the inoreased taxes weigh so
muoh the heavior on tho rest. A man
may live in affluence, enjoying tho protec
tion of the State and municipal organiza
tions, and not pay ono dollar of tax bo
ing a Bboddyijo, aud holding five twenties
or strew thirties.

as our political opponents do, that thoy
fought and bled, and died, mn'tily for the
freedom of the negro, is a gros luiiilt on
their patriotism aud au ouirago which will
be indigtiantly resented by their surviving
