The radicals are consUntly claiming that
they are reducing taxee. They well know
that there is scarcely a word of truth in the
statement The people know that there is
not, because they pay more taxes every
year. The Rochester Union put* these
two facts tide by side as an evidence of
the way taxes are being reduced :
Tarif taxes paid in '7l.

The Sute of Pennsylvania contains
11,515,992 acres of cultivated laud,
6,740,864 acres of woodland, and
737,371 acres of unimproved land.
From this it will be seen that Penn
sylvania has room enough to make a
great empire out of her. One third of
our soil iiea undeveloped and is suffi
cient to sustain a population as large
as that of our commonwealth at the
present time. Beside* being one ol
the richest states in the Union in mine
rals, how many billions of untold
wealth may yet lie hidden iu the un
developed bowels of the earth within
our borders. Pennsylvania has soil
sufficient to sustain a population ol
from 10 to 12 million souls.

Over one month bos transpired
since it has come to day-light that
Evans and a radical ring had stolen
a quarter million of dollars from the
state treasury, and although all the
papers in the state, of both parties,
have discussed the great steal, yet the
Bellefonte Republican has not yet said
a whif about it, purposely trying to
keep its readers in the dark, but all
the while trying to raise a furor over
the county finances, which are in good
shape, not a cent stolen, all that
Brown's paper says to the contrary
notwithstanding. The radical organ
at Be!lefonte is a deal of a consistent
institution.
SAD OCCURRENCE. —We are in
formed of a verv sad occurrence near
Bear Gap, in Sliamokin township, on
Friday evening last. Mr. William
Smith was engaged in digging a well
on his place, and. it is said, went down
into it after supper. After he had been
down some time his wife, not hearing
anything of him, went to the mouth
of the excavaation only to find her
husband prostrated at the bottom.
She immediately seized the bucket
which had been used in the digging,
and told her oldest boy to bold the
rope while she descended. When
about half way down she fell out.
The boy ran for help, but when the
neighbors got there both father ana
mother were dead. It is supposed the
father died from suffocation and that
the foul air overcame him. Mrs. Smith
is supposed to have died from the ef
fects of the fall. They leave four
small children, the youngest of which
is only six months old. — Sunbury

That our state finances have been bn.lly
mismanaged since the radical* have con-
Irol, it now to patent that nona longer
have any doubts about the matter, hut
thataoriniinal misapplication ol the public
monies, wrested fVom the people of thit
commonwealth, within a few year* hat
run into million* of dollar*, lew suspected,
yet it i* nevertheless only too true a* an
examination of the record* show*. N\ e
have not reference here to the j(ij(aulic
Kvan* ewhaaileiuent, by which a radical
ring, to which it now turn* out Gov. Gea
ry belong*, plundered the late out of a
clean quarter luil.lon, hut there are other
leak*, tome very hi* rat hole* through
which the public Atnda to the tune of mil
lion*, have disappeared, and which are not
satisfactorily accounted for. In a recent
speech delivered at Kben.hur*, Pa., by
Senator Wallace, we find the following
startling facta, which we **k our republi
can (Viend* to ponder over,:
"A clique of corrupt men control your
State government, manage and control the
finance* of the Commonwealth and run her
Treasury in their own interest and to the
great prejudice of the ptoplc.
Within the ten year* ending December
Ist, 1870, more than fifty million* of
dollar* have gone into the Tree*ury of the
Stale, much of it wrung by taxation from
the earning* of the people, whilst the Stale
debt, which, on December I*l 1800, wa
le** than thirty-eight million*, *tood on
December Ist, 1870, at over thirty-one mil
lion*. Seven million of debt ha* been
paid and more than forty-three million* re
main to be accounted for. Keckle** ex
penditure, extravagance in administration
and misappropriation ol a**cta are the seve
ral head* under which this money can be
found. It ir for those in power to how
clean hand* to the people, or vacate their
place*.
in tbi* contest it is our business to close
ly scan the doing* of the men in power.
Let u* see in what they have been faith
lea*.
This issue directly involves the manag i
merit of the State finances. If your Audi
tor-General'* office be watchfol, vigilant,
and pure, it U a eheck upon every depart
ment of the government, and a pertect safe
guard against petty stealing, embezzle
ment, or robbery. In it* pure administra
tion alone can the people find protection for
their treasure, and speedy payment of the
State debt. If the people place the con
trol of tbi* department in the baud* of a
weak or corrupt man. orgivethevatf reve
nue* of the Commonwealth into the keep
ing ot one who, from personal interest or
political sympathy, serve* and obey* those
who make the treasury a source of profit
and of power, they will find the sad lesson*
of the preseut hour recur in.rapid succes
sion. Stern integrity, watchfol vigilance,
fidelity of the loftiest chaiacter, and im
plicit obedience to the law, as written,
should characterize the incumbent of this
important place. We charge that some of
these vital qualifications have been found
wautiug in those who now manage and
control puf finances. We charge that the
Republican candidate for this office is con
nected, by personal interest and political
sympathy, with that "King" ofthc Repub
liean party that runs the State treasury,
and mismanages its finance*.
We charge that those who administer
the finances of the State and audit its ac
counts have broken tbeir oaths to support
the Constitution, have violated a plain
statute and have misapplied the assets of
the Common wealth.
These are grave charges. Let us see the
proofs. Under the last Democratic State
administration, the Constitution was amen
ded by a provision that looked tothegrad
ual but certain payment of the State debt;
by the Constitution itself certain asset* and
revenue* belonging to the State were de
voted to that purpose, and it ordered the
Legislature of 1958 to select and apply oth
er resources to the sameimportanlend; and
the Constitution, in Section 4 of Article
XI. erpressly ordered that none of these re
source* should he used or applied otherwise
than is extinguishment of the public deht,
until it teas reduced below fire millions of
dollars. The Legislature of 1958 did desig
nate these resources, and under those pro
visions all of the money arising from the
proceeds of the sale of public works, their
net annual income, the income or proceed*
of stocks owned by the Stale, all license
fees, collateral inheritance taxes, laze* on
bank charters and dividends, un corpora
tions, on auction commissions and entries,
on writs, Ac., on public offices, on foreign
insurance agencies, on enrollment of lawrs,
on loans or money at interest, on tonnage
paid by railroad*, all fine* and forfeiture*,
revenue* from land, escheats, accrued in
terest, refunded ca*h, and gifts to the State,
w.-is to be inviolably applied payment of
the State debt. The Auditor General and
the State Treasurer each swear* that he
will support the Constitution of tbi* Com
monwealth. That oath required them to
apply alt these moneys to the payment of
the debt. Have they done so? Tbi* can
best be settled by examining their own
report, and ascertaining what they have
received from the*e rsMopppe*, and what
they have paid upon the State debt.
Taking up the five fiscal year* that com
menced December 1,18G5 and ended No
vember 80, 1870, we find that in the year
ending November 3D, 1867, they received
from these source*, the sum of $3,757,74 ft,
in 1867, the sum of 3,645,017; in 1968, the I
sum of $3,423,564; in 1969, the sum of SB,-
564,560; in 1870, $3,981,064; total received
in five years, $J8,271,911, every dollar of
which, under their official oaths, should
have been applied to payment of Urn Etatc
debt
Has thif money thus been applied ?
On Dec. 1, 1865, the
debt was ipbole _. $37,476,258
On Dec. 1, 1870, U wM 31,111,665
Whole debt paid $6,364,587
Interest paid on the
debt during those
years was.
In 1866 1,802,105
In 1867 2,357,063
In 1868 1,979,000
In 1808 1,806.263
In 1870 1,864,811
Total interest paid...... 9,888,882
Whole debt and inter
est paid $16,254,489
Whoie assets ree'd to
pay with were 16,271.941
Leaving a balance of $2,017,452
which, in violation of law, ef the Constitu
tion, and of official oaths, have been wres
ted from their legitimate purpose and
otherwise disposed of.
These facts cannot he denied, they demon
strate the light consideration that a Repub
lican official places upon his oath of office.
If to that* figures we add the (167,000 tbey
received frout the IJeneral Government in
1860, which should bava gone to payment
of the State debt (for the military loan is
included in the figures I give), and 000,-
000 for the one per cent of interest they
added upon the $23,000,000 of six per cent
loan, unnecessarily placed, during the
three yaars-1868,1809, and 1870-and the
cost of placing the same, we find that the
State debt should have bean reduced by at
least three and a half millions mora than it
is, if the plain policy of the amendment of
1857 had been carried out.
I set out to prove violation of official
oaths and misapplication >f trust assets,
and these facts and figure* ar the evi
dence.
Upcu the men who now rue the finan
cial and executive branches of the State
government we charge either wanton neg
lect of their official duties, or corrupt con
nivance in embezzlement of public mon
eys. If either proposition be just, they are
unfit to fill the places tliey hold, and Jthey
and those they seek to place in power
should be repudiated by un outraged pub
lic."

state, when I asked for those papers, •
that they were for my private use, sim- I

been false. Nor did 1 purposely con- I
ceal the fact that 1 intended to pob- I
lish them, as Governor Geary would
testify, if he could in any way be iu- t
duced to speak the truth. Governor <
Geary himself informed me, at our |

Rome, August 12.- Tlio following
touching ami interesting letter from
his lloiiiicM to (lie ex-Senator of
Home, March we I'avallielt, has just
la-en imule public, ami 1 hastened to
forward it to your coluinn*. In my
last ooiniiiunication 1 had occasion to
mention the* fact that a throne of gold
was considered a suitable offering to
Plus "the Great" on the completion ul
and surpassing the year* of the poiiti
rate of St Peter, that a colli in it tee had
been formed for the purpose of col
i leetiug the necessary um, ami thai
(he costly gift was to he ready at la
p-si bv St. Peter's fete day next year
2911t dune, 1872.
I try dt<tr Mnrt/um and sou in Jrsiu
Christ:
The manifold proofs of effection that
roach me daily from all porliun* of
the Catholic world produce in iu<
liveliest emotion, aud cotiifie! me t<
thestneerret gratitude, which i seek
to gratify with praver* on behalf of
the innumerable children oft lie Church
for whom every week 1 offer up the
sacrifice of infinite value—thai, name
ly, of the Holy Ma**; the which, iu
compliance with the general desire, ]
shall likewise, God willing, ou the 23d
of the present month, apply to beseech :
from htm the liberation of this our be
loved Italy from the many evil* that
daily oppress her more and more. I
was lately much surprised, my dearest
sou iu Jesus Christ, every so truly af
fectionate towards this Holy See —J
was, 1 say, surprised by the news you
communicated to me, namely, that
two new ami entirely unex|iected
proofs of filial love were about to be
displayed towards me by good Cath
olios—the offering of a pontifical
throne of gold aud the addition of tin
title of "the Great," to the name of j
Pius Ninth. With my heart upon my i
lips, ami with the siuueritv a* a fath <
er tenderly attached to his childreu in ,
the Dird, I sill reply in regard to ,
each of these two offerings. As to the |
precious gift of the chair of gald, it ,
immediately presented itself to my |
mind that it would be far better to ,
employ the sum obtained by Catholic ,
oblations in the buying off from con- |
scriptiuu those of the clerical students |
who may be coiu|ielled by a law iu- t
iquitou* ami unprecedented to enter ,
the military service. The clergy form t
the gulden throne that support* the (
and it is for that very rsoo r
that the efforts of existing rulers are j
chiefly directed against them, by j
mean* of spoliation and persecution,i|
and above all by seeking to render j
tin- vocation to the sanctuary more
aud more difficult, so St to render more
rare the members of the ecclesiastical (
hicraichy. iu order that the latter, t
daily decimated by death and bitt<*r t
trials, may exjierieiice continual vu- ,
caticies that-cautiol be liAe) up, to the ,
extreme detriment of the Church ol „
Christ. t
It would seom that the present ru
lers had assumed the obligation of des- t
(roving all things ami oiK-cially thosej t
that have reference to Heligiou and ,
the Church. And while they are elo a
queni in praise* of, ami provision* for t
ecclessiastics disobedient to their bis- ~
ho|M or apostate to the faith, they |ier i,
sist in an infernal syU-m of hostility ii
toward* the far greater number of tbeL
truly worthy, because they are inimi
cal to (be doctrines of (lie persecutor.- '
and to their unchristian sctuiments. ,
But let these blind ruler* ruh on the ,
way to perdition, since wilfully deaf],
to the first outcries uf conscience ami |
become scoffers in order to ridicule the ,
wholesome doctrine laid before their ,
eyes, they are huVrying down that (
steep that must conduct them to the .
profound abyss below. A* to theoih- (
er intention that, namely, of addiug ,
the title of "Great"*to our name, the .
the word* of the Divine Redeemer oc- ,
cur Ui my mind. He wa* journeying ,
through ihe various district* ofjudea (
under his n**umel mortal nature, ami ,
some one admiring his divine nddr< \
ed him a# "Good Master. ' But Je- |
•us instantly repiiedt "Why calb-st (
thou me gool. God alone is gpod ' |f, ,
then, Christ, looking upon himself a*
man, declared God alone to be good,
bow much the more should his un
worthy vicar say that God only if
great ? Great from the favors 1.0 con
ceilos this hi* vicar, groat for the *up
|iort be accords to his church; great
for the infinite patience shown tow ard
his enemies; groat for the rewards he '
pre (Wire* for all those who quit theb
path of sin to apply thcmsclvciTto the i
work uf repeouueo, givat fiir the)
rigorous justice with which he will
punish nil unbeliever* and obstinate 1
enemies of hi* church. Having saidil
which, I feel it neceasaay yet further I
to dwell upon and confirm what I '
have nbove alluded to, that in the ap- '■
plication of the money which may lw- i
collected, uol Tor the throne, but for the I
release of the young clergy; and in the i
second place my desire that mv name <
should remain a* heretofore, and that <
all men should remain as heretofore,-1
and that all men should repeat to the
clorv of God "Mapi\U* a/ohiwus el I
Jauaabitis asm is." This is the wish i
your father aiakes known to hi* most t
dear children, whtic renewing his a* j
*u run res of love and gratitude towanh t
them. It is quite true that this till* t
was bestowed on three truly great -
jxintiff - , but it was eonferre<l a(U-r t
their death, when the mind* of tnen *
were more lucid and composed than t
during their lifetime. <
Ist these, then, remain great in the I
mouths and in the hearts of ail, while i
J with my whole heart import to you, I
to your family, and to all good Cath- '
olios, the aiwistolic benediction. f

In reviewing a recent volume from
the |w-n of Colonel C. 8.
jVereker, tlio London Examiner says:
"After remaining for u time in Al
;gior*. visiting the palaces, the niona*
terie*. the ruins utnl the chief show
place* of the city and it* vicinity, Col
onel Yceker set ofl' for the interior.
On hi* way he was fortunate enough
to willies* the celebrated Fair at Boul
farik which is frequented by the wild
Barberaml Arab tribes from the moun
tains. There he saw Kaliyle* in grcul
numbers selling olive-oil out of tyild
boar skins. Arabs with their sheep
and herds, and Moabites and Jew* of
fering for sule all description of mer
chandise. At Blida, beautifully situ
ated at the foot of the Atlas range, the
scenery begin* fo be romantic and pic
turi-sqiie. The lofty mountains in
the buck ground are covered with im
| mense forests, while here aud there
Kabyle corn-fields peep thro'the vis
tas ; from the heights pour down spark
ling streams, "which feed the fountains
and irrigate the jji ftsic* of orange* and
lemons tor which lllidii is celebrated,"
From tbi* charming place our author
rattled off in tho diligence, drawn by
eight in-hand, and soon reached the
steep accents of the ChiHU Pass. This
wonderful gorge, cutting the Atlas
range iu two. deseryes iUhninsof ore
of t|e yyondefi of Africa." The pass
I i* tweiity-fivs miles in mid tho
praripices are covered with luxurant
maiden hair fern, lichen*, and long
weeping grasses. "Rock swallow*
- *kim sportively about the crag*, while
eagles, kite*, falcons, htitutrd* and ra
, ven* soar uloft iu the axure sky, and
the tame black and blue thrushes dip
{ along from spray fo spray, as if to keep
the traveler company." But it is not
, until the Kui*cau des Hinges is paused
that the finest seenerv commences—
"truly grund and more Alpine than
Pyrotineati," as Tristram entlishuitical
ly describes it.
"Hoon after |w*sing tbe lieigliU of
Mutixnia, the traveler reaches Boghar,
a town perched oil the eminence above
the valley of the L'belif, aud com
manding the northern portion of the
Haha a. It is situated in the territory
of tbu Oulad Auu-ur, who, although
mounUiueers, diselaim the atqiellalioii
of Berber's Goelu I ians or K a by lee, and
'>■ ast that tbeir ancestors came from
lie East with Auiiar, a renowned
chieftain whose heroic deeds arc per
petualed in Arabic poems. It is s
curious fact, too, a fieueral Daumas
ha* |>oiiitei out, that the more the
mysteries of Kabyle life and society
are explained, the more trace* do we
rind of the ancient Christauity of the
Roman era among tho descendant* of
the Berbers. Thus, iu many of tbeir
usages and customs, they differ mate
rially from the precepts of the Koran,
more especially iu the laws relating to
theft and murder. The Kaliyiet, un
like other Mussulman*, do nol regard
the Koran as the only complete and
universal code, but oWrve, besides,
certain particular statutes, called can
ous, which they trace to a pre Sara
cenic |>eriud, before tbe religion of Ma
homet was forced upon them.
After wandering for a time on the At
las Mountains, indulging in boar-huut
iug und other African amusements,
Colonel Yereker found his way to
Coustantine, the ancient Cirta, a city
interesting both for its ancient associa
lions aud for it* exlrard>nary situa
tion. Founded by the Phoenicians,
some time the capital of Hvphax, the
birthplace of Massimo* and Jugurtha,
afterwards the residence of Juba, de
stroved in the year 311, and rebuilt
by tlie Emperor Constaiitiue, it is per
hup* historically the most imporant of
all the cities ot A/rica. It stands on
a rooky promontory surrounded by
tretneudou* prcceipices, except at" the
dor*al bridge where the Mila gate*
Maud. It is said to have undergone
tortv-eight sieges, and it wa* before the
invention of artillery, probably tbe
strongest city iu the world. The city
itself, i* interesected by narrow streets,
and the house* are low und filthy. One'
Arab writer describe* it as "the city;
iu the air," while auolher compare* it,
to "a beautiful woman reclining, cloth
ed in rags." The Roman ruins iu the
neighborhood are very remarkable,
mere especially the lofty arcbcs of the
aqueduct built by the Emperor Ju
liuuui.
Colonel Yervker visited Tunis and'
the ruin* of Carthage on his way back
to Europe. Although he akows that
tlie country geuetallv looks civilized
am) well-cultivated, he protests agaiust
the disgraceful way in which it i*
governed. Evan ill the city of Tunis
it is dangerous to go abroad at uight.
Nearly every one carries a Jatern and
a revolver, though it is sometimes dau
gt rau* to show a pistol, a* a danger
may be murdered by a native in order
to obtain pu-sesaion of the weapon
Among the curiosities which our trav
eler saw at Tunis were the camel
butcher's shops aud the Courts ui
Justice. The Bey has at present one
wife, aud thirty or forty lieauiiftil Cir
cassiau* iu hi* harem. His wife wear*
a huge diamond ring on her thumb,
and ha* her hair haiigiug strait down,
and cut off across her cheeks. She and
nil the other inmates of the harem are
enormously stout; indeed, it is consid
< rod disgraceful for a married woman
to he thin in Tunis. As soon as a
young girl i engaged to lie married,
even at tu years of age, the fattening
process liegui*, and she is stuked, eveu
through the bight, with "Uouskoussou"
jand water.

The Widow My re* of Onondaga,

but he t Harris), a few month* ago,
'suddenly discovered he loved;
another woman better, and verified'
this belief u short time since by mar :
rying her. Hence this action to re
cover damage*. The following tyijefj
epistle, senf by th* loving swalu,
read In oburt,
P'Ar kn. M.: Every time I
think of you ray heart flop up aud
down like a chum-dasher- Herniations;
of unutterable joy caper over it like

their invisible wings, your image
stands before me aud I roach out to
grasp it like a pointer snapping at a
blue-bottle fly. When I first beheld
your angelic perfections I was bewil
dered, and my bniiu whirled around
like a bumble bee under a glass tumb
ler. My eyes stow) open like cellar
door* in a country town, and I lifted
up my cars to catch the silvery accents
of your voice. My tongue refused to
wag. and in silent adoration J drauk
in the sweat infection of love as a thirs
ty man swallowcth a tumbler of hot
whisky punch.
Since the light of your face fell
upon my life, I sometimes tcej a* if I
could lift iqmif up by my boot-straps
to the top of the cnurch steeple and
null the bell-rape for singing school.
Day and night you are in ray thoughts.

If these few remarks willenableyoo
