Several items', in our issue of June Sth,
seem to have stirred up the bile on our
neighbor's stomach wonderfully, judging
from the length of the diatribes written
thereon. A little ipecac might afford the
necessary relief. Better try it.
Some inquiring chap has heard that the
green on the new three cent postage stamps

Our advice would be to go immediate around

Whisky yielded, last year, under the old
ratio of taxation and a Johnsonian plan of
collection, a revenue of but $12,000,000.
Under the preseut reduced rate, and with a
ibore faithful administration of the law, the
revenue from that source will be nearly $52,
000,000. The ring now proposes to increase
the rate again, plausibly suggesting that
there can be no failures in the collection un
der President Grant. The suggestion is
good, but the proposal will fail, as a higher
rate of taxation would only stimulate the
"ring" to commit greater frauds upon the
government.
The N. Y. Tribune says : "The fact has
been developed iu the testimony in the Alexander-Gardiner
case that the $1, 200 left
by the dead man to pay for a lot and njnu
ment for hiin in Greenwood Cemetery has
been given as a fee to the lawyer now engag
ed in trying to exclude his heirs from their
rightful inheritance. 'Mean enough to
steal a meeting-house' was once thought to
be a mere Yankee figure of speech. 'Mean
enough to steal a tombstone' 13 hereafter, it
seems, to be an accurate description of at
least one of our New York lawyers."
Experience seems to teach no lesson to
the Democracy. They cling to prejudices
and follies with a tenacity that is inexplica
ble. In Tecuesste they presist in a disor
ganizing policy, the result of which will
sooner or later Le Federal interference in
some form. They have also become the
apostles in repudiation in matters directly
affecting the State credit. Again, in West
Virgin'a, they reassert the old dogma of
white superiority and supremacy. PoorDeni

date themselves to passing events !
Ti'eTitusville Herald, of June 15th asks :
"How is this for High?" and then relates
that "at a Treasurer's sale of unseated lands
in Forest county, a tract of 411 acres in
Kingsloy township was bid of! foito5,(XX),
000, and 290 acres in the same township for
$53,000,000. It is refreshing to know that
in every case the taxes were only about
$60." We know of nnthiug that conies
ery near being as "high" as that, if the
figures are correct ; and, we opine, if tlie
debts on the lands were proportionate to
the reported bids, the Treasurer's eLance
for payment in full would be rather slim.
Oregon had a Democratic Stats Govern
ment last year. It elects the ticket of the
same party this year by a very considerable
reduced majority. The last Legislature was
Democratic by seventeen majority on joint
ballot ; in the next Legislature, the sauiu
party will have a majority of rot more than
tight. This is not truch of a Democratic
victory. Moreover, it suggests a pertinent
inquiry. The convention wL'ch nominated
the ticket now successful, endorsed in its
platform the policy of repudiation. 9uerJ" ?
Was the reduced majority of th-2 pan73t
the recent election due to tbaten'Jorsciuct..' .
or in spite of it ?
The-New York Standard gives circula
tion to rumors relating to the purposes of
the New York Democracy in opposition to
the Fifteenth Amendment, and the recent
legislation of Congress in connection with it.
Our contemporary alleges that "the election
law passed by Congress, by which it is in
tended to secure purity in elections, has
thoroughly aroused the Democracy, and the
leaders again talk of resistance to the Fed
eral authority." A special session of the
Legislature, with this end ia view, is spo
ken of as one of the steps contemplated ;
the object being to pass measures which shall
bring to a square issue the contest between
Federal and State authority. Sensational
. the story may seem, says the Times,
iiiii:h i on record to invest some portious
frf it wirh plausibility.
Homestead Law.
A bill proposing a very important amend
ment to the Homestead law, for the benefit
of those who served in the suppression of
the rebellion, lias passed the House of Rep
resentatives, aud is now awaiting the action
of the Senate. It provides that every pri
vate soldier and c-ffic-r who has served in the
army, and every seamen, marine'ofEcer or
other person who served in the navy of the
United States, or iu the marine corps or
revenue corps, during the rebellion, for 30
days, and remained loyal to the Govern
ment shall, without payment of any fee or
commission to registers or receiver of land
offices, be entitled to enter one quarter sec
tion of land, not mineral, or alternate re
st rved sections of public lands along the
linco of all railroads or public works in the
United States, wherever public lands have
been or may be granted by acts of Cougress,
and to receive a patent therefor under and
by virtue of the provisions of the home
stead acts, and on terms aud condition there
in described ; and all provisions of said acts,
except as herein modified, shall extend and
be applicable to entries under this act. This
secures free homesteads for all soldiers and
sailors on those lands by reason of settlement
aud improvement, ft is to be hoped that
the bill may become a law, and that it may
be of practicable benefit to the former sol
diers of the Republic.
Democracy naturalization.
We feel called upon, says a contempora
ry, to express sympathy with the Democ
racy on acount of the perverse obstinacy of
Congress in afflicting them with a rigid and
not very easily evaded naturalization and
franchise law. The Senate was severe, but
the House is severer. It has actually de
termined that false swearing to secure natu
ralization or a vote is perjury, and requires
it to be punished as such, and this not by a
mild Democratic judge, whose sympathies
might run away with his judgment, but by
the United States court. If it furnished a
clear case for appeal to the people, as in
volving "centralization of power," "tramp
ling upon the rights of the people," and
the like, there would be some vent to their
feelings. As it is, the New York TForM
calls it a law "with a stump speech in its
belly." But the unfortunate fact is, the
"stump speech" is in the interest of hones
ty, and hence not quotable. We really in
cline to fear that for once even Democratic
ingenuity, in duplicating votes, is at fault.
Coffee Vots, repeaters aud the like, will be
at a discount, unless some new method of
evasiuu is discovered. Why not raise a
fund and offer a reward at once for such a
discovery? Without it, we fear those great
victories promised next fall will not be real
ized. Economy and Eefom.
The determination of the National Ad
ministration to carry out fully the policy of
economy and reform to which the Republi
can party is pledged, is made perfectly clear
by the reduction of force and expenses in
the different departments. Take, for in
stancy, the Treasury Department, Since
Secretary ucutwell assumed office, the num-.
ber of employees ii. that department has
been decreased three hunured and fourteen.
In the printing bureau the amount of labor
performed has increased fifty-eight percent.,
while the working force has increased twenty-four
per cent. This increase was in con
sequence of the department undertaking
the printing of the currency. The net sav
ing in the engraving bureau from March 1,
1809, to March 1, 1S70, was $352,910. Not
withstanding the work in this bureau has
doubled, the working force, since January
186$, has decreased from seven hundred and
twelve to three hundred and eighty-nine
persocs. It is such facts as these which il
lustrate the systematic economy of the ad
ministration an economy which extends,
in a greater or lesser degree, Jto every de
partment. A Census Difficulty.
We commend to the attention of our rea
ders, the remarks of the Newark (N. J.)
Courier in reference to a difficulty which the
takers of the census are likely very often to
encounter and which, if not in some way
provided against, must greatly retard their
progress. The Courier observes: "The
cen. us-takers find but little trouble in pro
curing from the woman folks at home
prompt, intelligent and satisfactory answers
to a large majority of their questions. On
ona- point, however, they experience some
difficulty that which relates to the value of
real estate, a subject upon which it is hard
ly to be expected that women are generally
posted. It is suggested that if the head of
the family would estimate the value of this
property and put it iu black and white up
on paper to await the call of the census man,
it would save the latter a vast deal of labor
ad relieve the mistress of the house of
many unanswerable questions. Our prop
erty owners should take enough interest iu
the present general enumeration of liie
nation to do thai, much for the country, by
serviug which they also serve themselves."
How is Tuis? The Titusville Herald
says: "1 wo rattlesnakes were killed (last
wt-tk) at Faguudas City, one with seven,
the other with nine rattles. Much fault is
fouud with the city authorities, who will
not permit liquor to be sold on the farm,
and in case of snake bites this inhuman pol
iey will result in fatal consequences. Shoo

The N". Y. Tribune says : At last we

this long sought result js the best evidence
that it does not tend to promote the harmo
ny of the Catholic Church. Of its political
effects it is too soon to speak ; but unless it
be passed by as of no practical significance,
which would perhaps be the wisest course,
it seems sure to produce complications,
more or less serious, in scvetal European
countries.

English. Frea Trade and Poverty.
Those who seem to bo desirous to bring
this country down to the level of England
by the adoption of the policy of free trade,
may read a profitable lessou, if they please,
in the following extract from the New York
World! (free trade organ) "own correspon
dent" across the big water. The letter is
dated at London, May 28, and may be found
in the World of the 12th of June. Here is
the extract :
I left the cottage and walked down the
road that leads to the village of Denham.
Seated on the ben ches before the Plough
inu were groups of peasanU.iu smock frocks,
corded trousers, aud hobnailed bhoes. A
locg the road, at iutervals. were a few cotta
ges, all of them very old, very dirty, very
substantial, and still very picturesque. Pre
sently the road took aturu and wound down
a ravine aud over a little stream of water
clear as crystal As I stood lor a moment
on the big bridge two men approached me,
aud, taking off their hats and making an
awkward scrape with their feet, said :
"Master, wud ye bestow on us a penny or
so to buy us some bread?"
"What is the matter?" I asked.
. "We can get no work to do," said both
the mcu in a breath.
One of the men was very old, and the
other was young. They had clothing en
ough to cover their nakedness, and that
was all. The old uiau had a stick in his
hand ; his few white hairs were matted to
gether with dirt ; his eyes had a weary,
yearning, hungry look.
"W hy," said I to the old man, "you
cculd not work if any one should offer to em
ploy you."
"Oh, yes, master," he replied in an eager
voice, "I aui strong yet ; ain't I Billy I
could do a good day's work as any man."
"Well, why can t you get it?"
"Master," said the younger man, "the
country hereabouts is all in distress, aud I
do hear that it is no better in Berks, nor
yet in Middlesex. It is all among of the
large farmers and the machinery."
"And putting down the land in grass,
Billy," interrupted tho old man.
"l'es master, and putting down the land
in grass, and turning farms iuto game pre
serves. Where there used to be work for
a scuie, there is'nt work now for one, and
it makes it bard. This is the time of year
when we naturally look for work ; the old
man and I have been in the 'workus' all win
ter; but it is hard to be shut up between
stone walis when one thinks of the green
fields and the blue sky, aud five weeks ago
we came out aud sought for work. We
have ouly had two days of work all that
time."
"What do they do for you in the house?"
I asked.
"Well, sir, first of all you has to break
three-quarters of a yard of stone a day. and
if you come short of that you has bread and
water five ounces of bread a day and no
more. If you does your task and it is hard
toil you get six ounces of bread in the morn
ing, five ounces of meat and five ounces of
bread for your dinner, and a pint of broth
and five ounces of bread at night, and then
you sleeps en a board. That's what they
does for you in the house, master."
A police officer here passed by, and sharp
ly eyeing the men, grufljy ordered them "to
move on." I told him that I had asked them
to stop, at which he touched his hat and
begged my pardon, remarking that it was
his duty to prevent all "cadging" by tramps'
but that if the gentleman wished to talk
with them he had no objection. He knew
those two men, he said, and they were hon
est fellows, but the law did not allow them
to beg. If they begged they had to be shut
up ru jail for a month. Tho officer turned
his back and sauntered away toward the vil
lage ; 1 put Eonie money into the bauds of
the men, and hurried after him.
"Oh yes, sir," said he, when I had over
taken him ; "it is all right ; we shut our eyes
to it whenever we can, but I saw you were
a stranger, and .we must do as the law di
rects. Poor devils ' I don't know what they
told you, but they couldn't have told you
anything worse than the truth. The distress
is awful. I dou't know what we are com-
ing to. 1 lungs get worse aud worse every
jear; and only last week three rate payers
on this parish went themselves on the rates.
Talk of Ireland 1 Why, sir, if the poor here
hadn't all the spirit grouod out of them there
would be a rising such as Ireland has never
seen. The Government takes credit for re
ducing the national debt and diminishing
the income tax ; it is all right enough, no
doubt, but it don't help the people any.
They ink lower and lower every year. You
come down to our Union, sir, and I'll show
you scores of men who were rate payers a
fow years ngo aud who are paupers now."
When Secretary Stanton, who always did
the necessary thing aud took the responsi
bility, and who foresaw that otherwise the
traitors would have an opportunity to insult
the loyally of the nation and the moral sense
of the civilized world, ordered the secret
burial of the assassin Wilkes Booth in the
old Capitol prison, many thought that his
apprehensions were groundless. A subse
quent mistaken kindness toward the friends
of the murderer permitted the transfer of
his body to a Baltimore burial-ground, and
here the very thing apprehended by the
great war Secretary has "occurred. Certain
women of that city, assembled ostensibly to
decorate the graves of rebel soldiers', devoted
their fairest flowers in greatcsat profusion
to the grave of John Wilkes Booth. Such
an act is a profanation and desecration. It
testifies to tho malignity and fiendisbness
still latent in 'he hearts of ex-rebels and rebel
syuiphathizers. It is a grave insult to the
nation, which we hope to see emphatically
condemned by all, without distinction of
party.
The Ku Klux. On June Cth, Gover
nor llolden, of North Carolina, issued a
proclamation, in which ho describes with
frightful distinctness a series of outrawps bv
the Ku-Klux-Klun. During the pionth of
May a fctate beuator was murdered in open
daylight in a county court house ; a colored
man was murdered in the night ; twenty
one persons, both white and colored, were
"cruelly whipped and scourged;" two col
ored women outraged ; a colored man shot ;
another drowned ; two white men murdered,
besides many being wounded and otherwise
injured by the destruction of their property,
and a State Senator compelled to fly froin
the district to save his life. For eaeh of the
perpetrators concerned in any of these offen
ses a reward of $500 is offered. The amount
of terrorism exercised by their fiendish or
ganization may be judged of from the fact
that outrages so long continued and 60 fre
quent fail to be traced to any of the perpe
trator?. For a couple of weeks past the - waters of
Long Island have been literally, alive with
fish of all kinds. They came in at Barnegat
inlet last week, sweeping over flats and thro'
the channels. The bluefish Lave driven
millions of bunkers before them, filling the
coves, ditches and ponds. They continued
oo their course as far as Little Egg Harbor,
where they drove shad on shore in such
quantities that the natives gathered them
in wagons, .thousands of bushels of bun
kers have been gathered the past week, and
they have latterly smelled so dispustincrlv
that the farmers began forking them under
as a fertilizer. The bluefish were exceed
