In Arkansas in two years ot Republican rule more than 2,500 free schools with over 100,000 pupils have been pat in successful operation, and over 1,000 Echool houses built. The national credit stands higher to-day than at any time fur the past eight years, and tha Treasury Department is in excellent conditiou, thanks to the Grant Administra tion, and to the energy, tact, economy, and wisdom ot Secretary Bout well. The Democrats are the "ins"' in Wayne county, Mi.higaa, and upon the adjourn ment of their Convention there was witness ed the singular, but rery appropriate, spec tacle of all the members thereof in the charge of the Prosecuting Aattorney, and being handed over by him to the slier iff in the county jail. The candidate nominated in the S.-vond Cotigressional District, Tennessee, by the Democrats and Conservatives, to run against Ilou. Horace Maynard, Republican, owns the euphonious cognomen of A. Blizzard. He will have to treat the whisky drinker of the Second district to many a "blizzard" and swallow not a lew himself before he beats Horace we lancr. The Pittsbnrg Gazelle thus drives the last nail in a Democratic candidate's coffin ; "'When the people of this State were called upon to vote 'y? or "no on the amendment to the Constitution giving soldiers the right to vote, there were nine rotes against it in tbo Second ward, Pittsburg. Oi;e of these was the vote of Ja:ncs Irvin, the present Democratic candidate for County Commis sioner." War in Europe is a God send to the Democratic papers. It maintains their reputation as prophets and teachers for another decade. "Don't you see there is a big war killing hundreds of thousandi of white men, and didn't we always tell you that if the niggers got a vote we would have another war ?"' Nasby is redeemed by history and the citadels of Democracy are strengthened. There is a terrible strife among the Democ racv in Iowa. At the recent State Conven tion a new set appeared, dismissed all the old lenders and placed unon the ticket, and on the State Committee, the names of per sons who, to use the emphatic words of one of their orators, "were born since the cruci fixion of Christ." The old fellows whose births preceded that day. and who have ruled the party so long, take the matter ery much to heart, and refuse to wote for the "children," as they style the young Democracy. The best election canvassers that Gcneial Grant can have are the statisticians of the Treasury Department. They are the most efective and oavincinj of stump speakers. Every now an 1 then they utter sentiments iu advocacy of his re election that burn like words of firo. Tha very latest reads some what in this way : "Receipts for revenue from all sources from September 1. 1867, to March 1, 1SC9 under Johnson $5.16,3 15, 2j3 ; receipts of revenue from all source from March 1, 1S69 to September 1, 1870 under Grant $543.72$, 963 ; strength of argument in favor of Grant, S7,413,765." The Democracy are disguested with the Republican party for resurrecting tho dead iss ues of the past. There are no dead issues. There may be, a century hence, when the lives of the present generation become only a matter of history, but to-day they are living, breathing realities sanctifisd by jaUy a vacant chair and desolate hearthstone. When the present generatiin shall have passed away, and the keen edgf of grief been b'unted by the heavy sod that lies above us, when our present sorrows become only a school-day's los-on for our children's chil dren to learn, these things may be dead issues, and a bog sense of security destroy our present suspicion and distrust towards a party who desires its record may be buried with the past. But at present the Repub lican party will go to the coming election wah fhe steadfast determination to protect the country froiu the hazards of any such future Democratic dead isro-s. jThe Eepnblioan Meeting. ' " Tn nll pril'linrw will K found the call for a Republican mettiog in the Court House, on v ednesday evening of Court McEoa'lv. Swoope, and other speakers, are expected to be present and address the people. We hope th.?re will be good turn out of our fntnds from all parts ot tue county. Frotecttox What is it? Working men should consider that the very root idea of the protective system is to foster and de fend hibor. It permits and sufferi the in gress or importation of all raw materials and products that do not conflict with domestic industry. It excludes and drives off foreign labor. Protection is not taxation. The tax Is only an incident only- the means used to guard against a suicidal competi tion with the under fed, under-paid, un der paid serfs of other countries. In fact, when this system has unimpeded play, pro tection works a2aint and does away with taxes. It tends to relieve from taxation everything which we must import, and to add to the cost only of those articles which, having or making ourselves, we should not import. For instance, under a pure system of protection there will be no taxes on tea. coffee, indigo, or foreign drugs, or raw ma terials which we cannot produce. AU th'-sc things are let in free. Duties are laid only on the results of labor, because that labor can be applied to the new product by our own laborers with more profit to themselves and to the country. Protection is merely a breastwork for the American workman against his foreign enemies. The whole system reduces itself to that one idea, and it is an idea tiiat the voting laborers of this our land cannot revolve in their minds too earnestly or too often remembering, at the same time, that the Republican party is the true fiiend of this protective system, pnd hence the only friend of the laboring classes. The DcTr op the Hocr. Ten years ago says tho Somerset Herald the Dem ocratic party was in power and to all human appearances impregnable. The Executive, Judicial and Legislative departments of the government were all Democratic. But am bition, and slavery and treason cohabited together in its ranks and bred discord, and it was discord and not the fell spirits that rioted in its bosom that caused its over throw. It did not fall asunder because of its hell-begotten bins of slavery and rebel lion, for its masses had been so taught and their better sentiments so blunted that they bugged those delu-iuus of the devil to their bosoms, but because schisms in its rauks w.re fostered by the peisonul ambition of its leaders it s lit assund:r, and became an easy prey to the young and comparatively weak Republican purty. Theirs has been a severe les-on. Let us profit by it and "lay its instructions to heart. Let Republicans discard all strife about men and following only iu the load of principles unite all their energies, and thus continue their ascendan cy and their control of public affairs. Dem ocrats are to day counting upon regaining the power they have lost, not by force of 'heir own numbers, but through divisions and supiner.ess in our racks. Close up the ranks, KepuMicans ! in unity there is power and assured success, in discord defeat and political death. Drowm.no Mkn Catch at Straw. We see, the DelleTonie Ytntclnnan and AI toona Sun take special pains to misconstrue an item which appeared in the Journal of the 7th. That the De.nocratio organs are appealingto tl e "prejudices' of the thieves, burglars, shoulder bitters, repeaters, etc., (the lowest stratum of our population), es pecially in the larger cities, to save their sinkti g party fioui utter annihilation, no intelligent reader will deny the attempt of the Watchman and Sun to pervert our lan guage to the contrary notwithstanding. But again ; this attempt, of the Democratic organs, to misconstrue our language, plain ly indicates a want of arguments, on their part, to bolster up the waning fortunes of their fast sinking party, and hence, like drowning men, they "catch at straws," le eause there is nothing more firm within their reach to cling to. So, "blow on ye winds," your blast can do us no harm. Redictio.-v of Tiir Debt. During the month of August the national debt has been reduced over $13,000,000, and the proba bilities are that the present month will show another reduction about equally great. It is stated in a Washington dispatch that the receipts from internal revenue and customs during the month have been so heay as to warrant the belief that the reduction of the debt wiil be such as to bo gratifying to all classes of the people of the United States but the radical Democracy, and nothing wiil satisfy them but political ascendancy and consequent ruin of the country. The receipts from internal revenue, it is stated, will be over fifteen millions, while those fioui customs are estimated at eighteen mil lions. It is such argunientsasthc.se prac t'cal and telling upon which tho Adminis trntion relies to deserve and to retain the continued confidence and support of the people. They are irresistible. JfST So ! Some scribbler in the Repub lican says our statement of the relative ex penses between Grant's and Buchanan's administrations U incorrect We again assert that the ordinary expenses under Grant's administration are but $1.64 per capita, while under Buchanan's they were $2.00. The difference between $1.64, the true amount, and $4.76 thealledged amount of the scribbler in the Republican, is the legacy bequeathed the people by the late Democratic Southern Rebellion, and cannot be truthfully charged to the ordinary expen ses of Grant's administration. But "drown ing men will catch at straws," During the month of August there were received at thePostoffice Department 312, 071 dead letters. Of this number 4,5S0 were addressed to ficticious persons and firms, and 409 were registered ; 1557 hav ing money in them amounting to 7,170 16, were returned to the writers, the whole number returned being 122, 59S ; 1,464 had checks to order and drafts in them, and 916 cx ntalnsd property. THE FEENCH-PEUSSIAH WAR. J if J What is Doing." ;-' The Prussians are reported to be some what embaiTassed in the operations around Paris by (be rumored escape of a portion of Bazaine'sarmy from Metz. The number escaped is reported at six thousand, which must be an error, as such a number of men could do little injury. It was probably sixty thousand men that escaped. Paris has been declared in a state of siege:; Noncoiubattants are to be expelled. The Prussians were in sight of the city-on Thursday. There have been do -railroad trains beyond Pontoise since Wednesday last The forests around the city are now entirely consumed. Thursday morning a corps of the army of occupation left Paris for the purpose of at tacking the advance guard of the Prussian army, who are known to be in the immedi ate suburbs of the city. The Prussians are closing io on the capi tal in a way that indicates an attack on 'the southern and south-eastern side, and in that direction, so as to receive their support, and at the same time to prevent reinforce ments from the south and west to the be seiged. ' The workmen of the city form sixty-six battallions, comprising eighty thousand men. They are among the most determin ed defenders of the city, and are resolved on a war of extermination. Military men of experience say that the power of the city to resist is limited only by the supply of food. It is claimed that General Trochu has 410,000 men under arms, who will become good soldiers behind the ramparts. The citizeus are determined to emulate Stras burg. If the city holds out three months they claim that the Prussians will be driven back to the Rhine. They will make their way over barricades if they succeed in bat tering down the walls or get in by surprise. The bombardment of Strasburg contin ues. In his last dispatches General Ulrich, commandant, admits that the situation is desperate. General Von Werther, the Prussian commander, defers the general as sault on the city in order that the garrison may not be uselessly butchered. The suf ferings of the people and garrison are ter rible. The blockade of the Baltic and North Sea porta has bcn officially raised. It is reported in London that the Foreign OSiee has M. Bismark's reply to the de mand of Jules Favre for an armistice. Bis mark says there are questions yet to be set tled with France before a suspeusion of hos tilities is possible. Things to Be Semembered. As the election approaches, says the Telegraph, the public mind should awaken to the actual condition of things, take in the whole truth, and prepare to decide the issue upon the facts. In order to do this there are many things to be brought to the recollection. Among others. It should be rememberel that the late rebellion, which was the immediate cause of the national dsbt and the taxes which n on bear heavily upon the people, was inaugura ted under and by a Democratic administra tion, and carried on by the Democratic party under Democratic leaders. It should bo remembered that the Demo cratic leaders and their rebel allies (for there ars rebels still) are influenced by the same relentless hostility to the principles of Republican liberty now as d iriiig the rebel lion, and are actios in conceit, through the same frcaso nable agencies, to regaiu control of the Government. It uhottlJ be rem?mbcrd that the settled policy of the Democraiio party is to ret u diateand annual all tha constitutional amend ments and lawsof Congress conferring equal rights upon all classes of citizens, and all the acts of Congress reconstructing the Southern States, so that, finally, slavery may be restored. It should be remembered that, thould they attain power, they have in many por tions of the Union expressed a detei ruina tion to repudiate the national debt, thereby degrading the nutional honor, and making us the scorn of the civilized world. ' And it should be particularly and especial ly borne in mind that the Democratic party is the openly avowed friend of free trade. and consequently he enemy of American indus try. . . These, and many more things of the same character, should be remembered by the people of Pennsylvania during the present campaign, and especially should they be kept clearly in view at the ballot box the arbiter of popular will. The Late Elections. Some of the small-fry Democratic organs, evidently presuming much upon the ignorance of their readers by withholding the facta, have been making a great ado about the result of (he recent elections. For the information of all, we will briefly restate the result, and if our Democratic friends can draw any con solation therefrom, they are welcome to their enjoyment Last year the Republican majority in Vermont was 20,369; this year it is 22,000 the Republicans having elected their en tire State and Congressional tickets. In Maine, the Republican majority last year was 6,363 ; this year about 7,500, in an increased vote of near 6,000 with a loss of a few members of the legislature.. Last year the first election was held in Wyoming territory the vote standing. Democratic 3,401 ; Republican 1,965; Dem ocratic majority 1,436. This year. Judge Jones, Republican, is elected delegate to Congress by a majority of about 200 being a Republican gain of over 1,600. Such is the result of the September elec tions, in .which the Republicans have: made handsome gains -and u a precursor to the result in Pennsylvania on the second Tues day of October next. Let the Democracy rejoice if ttey" will. ' ' ' . The Prussians figure up their losses thus: Killed 91,605, wounded 119.050, total 210, C55. The French loss is given at 150,000.

The new Publishers also announce a reduction of the terms to $3 per' year. The change will not at all affect the American Agricul turixt, which will continue on independently as heretofore. The Illustrations and read ing matter of the two journals will be en tirely different. Either of the journals will be furnished from now to the end of 187!

We learn from a Denver paper that engi neers have recently entered upon the work of surveying the line of an extensive irriga ting canal, to be more than one hundred miles in length, commencing in Platte Can on, before the river debouches upon the plains, and extending to the head -of the Republican river in the eastern part of the Territory. This canal, it is said, will irri gate no less than three million acres of land, now useless except for stock purposes, and will be, if constructed, the means of making a place where a million of people may find homes. It is claimed that means sufficient to pay for the survey arc raised and the parties pushing it on can coutrol enough more to build the canal. Tiir Co.norkssional Contest.
