THE rsiox COUNTY TICKET
The union Convention of Franklin
county met on the 6th inst. in Chambers
burg, and nominated a ticket combining
peculiar political and personal strength.
its proceedings were harmonious through
9a, and 'after earnest contests for the
more lutrative positions all cordially ac
ottieseeilin the decision of the Convention.
It is worthy of note that the ttaion par
ty- has not been content to manifest its de
votton to the gallant heroes of the war by
mere reception orations and cheap profes-
sinus of interest in their behalf. Every

Tin: English iron is now offered in our

our own manufacturers. The manufacture
of whisky is almost entirely abandoned
because of the tax of two dollars per gal

pension that the tax will be reduced by
the next Congress, and thus inflict a seri

coal has been very largely diminished by
the suspension of iron and other manufac
tures, and the withdrawal of immense
numbers of steamers, gunboats and trans
ports front the active service of the gov
ernment. The close of the war; tlie de
pression of our manufacturing interests,
and the abrupt termination of the vast
.4.
supplies demanded by the army and nay
in almost every channel of indu.tr3 - . must
very hugely reduce incomes; and in the
aggregate the internal revenue must be
reduced not less than one-third, and per
haps so much as cllne-half. (Jul public

possibl be net by the revenues as they
DOW and in addition to these, there
will doubtless lie millions of dollars yet
to be paid, arising from. the war but not
now adjudicated or preset] ted tbrpayment.
One of two things. therefore, seems to us
as inevitable. We must either add to our
existing debt from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty millions n year for SltV
eral years to come, or our 'system of inter
nal irenneynust be so revised as to dou
ble its proceeds. It is remotely possible
that it might be done by export duties on
cotton and tobacco, and still more remote
ly possible that confiscation of rebel lands
may avert the necessity of increased tax
ation or debt; but looking at matters as
they are now. we incline to the conviction
4 1 1 K Sianklii
that we must rely upon increased duties
and increased internal revenues to main
tain oar National credit. We must main
tain a huge army torkive any sort of go
vernment to the subjugated States, and
from present indications this exhausting
tax upon thegovernment will stagger us
for years to come, while Wounded treason
is writhing in the iNinvolsive thioes of
death. We cannot diminish our interest,
and pensions and ordinary expenses must
be paid. and means must be provided in
such a manner as to revive our manufac
turing and be least.n , pinvssive upon the
great industrial classes.'
—'iVe do not commit the common error
of regarding tlmgreat financial problein
of the war as successfully solved. If de

and taxes increase. it will severely test

PHFLADELPIIIA POLITICS
It will not be expected that a mere pro
vineial journal:like the lirwosirt inv. with
a corps of strit4ly rural etlitm's. should en
derstand the mysteries and miseries of
metropolitan politics: and our confusion
was but natural at the recent belligerent
exhibition , : given by sonic of our accom
plished city popular leaders.' We read
with interest the speeches of Messrs.
Thomas and Walborn s‘ hen congratula
ted on their re-appointment, but it seem
ed to grate a little harshly upon unsophis
ticated ears when it was understood that
the vindictiveness of those speeches was
aimed at foirr Union members of Con
gress. Coming as it did from men just
awarded the most lucrative positions in
the gift of a Union administration, there
are those who know no better than to im
agine that discord should not come from
such victors. A little: less than a year
ago, Post Master _Walborn concluded to
defeat the re-nomination of Hon. Wm. D.
Kelly. He lives in a free country and
has a constitutional right tto behave wise
ly or make apol of himself if hechooses.
Ile has vast patronage, and it was mar
shaled to compass the overthroW of, the
ablest of the city Unipn Representatives
in Congress ; but as Kelly carried abori4

was serenaded, as serenades arc merely a
question cif casb, but he did not thereupon
assume that as,he was victor, he alone
had the right to honors. influence and
po
litical existence. -In short, he did not im
agine that because Mr. Walborn had sim
ply done a silly thing he was therefore
just in order for an obituary. But when
the Union Congressmen confessedly com
mitted a grave error, by which Mr. Wal

move him, and had so positively assured
the Congressmen, he joined Mr. Thomas,
like the fly on the-coach-wheel, and they
tooke'to smashing things generally like
bulb iu a china shop. Probably they can
afford so to-do, as they may consider that
their entire distributive shares are re
ceived out of the concern : but in our ru
ral way of thinking. the residuary lega
tees—the candidates for Legislature, city
officers, Govewor,U.S. Senator. & - c., may
not profit immensely by the operation.
But the peculiar strategy of our city po
litical leaders did not end with the form-

Philadelphia last week, and as he had re- .
centlY been honored with the degree of

labyrinthsof legal lore, the Liberty Cornet
Band fitly surprised him with a serenade
and a,soug. Naturally embarrassed when
such honors thickened upon him, his ru
ral, rugged simplicity readily -gave way
to the wiles of the city managers, and he
was betrayed into a speech—which we
give elsewhere entire—in which, after the
manner of alp live, ass kicking the dead
lion, he was so forgetful of the accepted

of the speech; by which he congratulates .
himself on the triumph of his friends and
in the next paragraph declares that he
"had no special agency in the appoint

owing to the intoxicating effect of city
airs from silver trumpets upon provincial

address as the majesty ofnutrameled mind

was synonymous with greatness," and, as
smothered Manhood leaped out to grapple
with the occasion, he added that '.'we are
too mach in -tla; habit of allowing small
men in this great State of ours to regulate
our atfifirs." The sequel was painted in
-blistering pungency wheuhe declared that'
but for these small representative men

Correspondence of the Franklin Repository.
WASHINGTON CITY, Augnst,l3, 1865.
The Quartermaster General has just issued li
pamphlet of two hundred pages, called the " Roll
of Honor," giving the names of all soldiers who
died in and about Washington from the com
mencement of the rebellion down to June 30,
1865. The aggregate is 20,727. These are bu
ried in fire cemeteries, viz: Battle, Harmony,
National, 31ilitarY, Asylum and Arlington. Of the
number we find 15,001 whites and 5,726 blacks.
1,248 whites have been exhumed. Of the various
nationalities we find the United States reimesent
ed by 7,173, Ireland 660, Germany 533, England
213, Canada 167. France 42, and unknown 6,000
i'vldte. The maximum of 84 deaths was reached
on 25, 1864, and minimum of 4 on June
14th, 1863.. New York and Pennsylvania are the
largest represented. The work is accompanied
with statistics of great value for reference.
The new building attached to the Public Print,.
hug office is at last completed and eighteen new
presses placed in it. With these it is expected
that all the back public documents will be printed
.by the ineetineof Coup ess. The Patent Offiee'l
deport' for 1862 has only been issued, and the last
Agricultural Report issued was for 1863 There .
are thousands of other documents back of great
importance to the public, which will now be got
through. The delay has been 'occasioned by the
immense amount of work required by the Treas
ury, War and Navy Departments.
The President has entirely recoverei his health,
but will be compelled at °auto vacate the White
House, which is at present in a very unhealthy
condition. He will for a couple of months settle
down at the soldiers' home. The whole city is
atpreseut extremely unhealthy. The prevailing
disease is billions fever. Yesterday the President
held a public reception, admitting without dis
tinction all visitors having business with him.
There was a perfect jam and he was loaded doss'n
with papers and docuMents of varied importance.
-A great portion Of this business laid before him,
by its insignificance, is very annoying, more so
than the thoughtless parties presenting it can con
ceive. Most of it should be transacted with the

andria for violating his parole. He came down
from Culpepper to Alexandria to be admitted as
an Attorney. Wherever he went in Alexandria
be was followed by an immense crowd of sympa
thizers. His headquarters (Harper's Store) was
sometimes so blockaded with people, as to inter
rupt travel in the street. -11-Itradreds of people
went down from this city to have a shake of the
great guerrilla and cut throat's hand. His friends
were always so numerous as to prevent any in
terference with "free speech" by. utsiders. One
negro said something defamatory to Moseby and
the proceedings of his sympatbizi , rs, when he was
at once slopped on the mouth by a Jew. who said
that "nothing should be said against Col. kloseby,
who was a gentleman." This proved too much
for loyal men, and the Jew was arrested rind con
fined for twenty-four hours in the old slave pen.
Moseby was also arrested, but afterwards dis
charged by the military,iwhen he took the cars
for his home at Culpepper. As has been stated.
before; le intends running for Congress in the
Culpe'pp, r district, and, under the present'Mode
of voting in Virginia, will be elected easily. - Of,
course such a loose manner of electing suet,
scamps and notorieties to Congress will be th
means of throwing out the entiredelegition likely
to be elected throughbut the seceded States the
coming fall. -
The king of -the negro nation—Bassas—Afri- -
Ca, has sent a message to the President request
ing him to present him with a rain 'coat—one of
Which he saw upon a white man .who had visit
ed his palace. The President, has ordered a
"gum coat" of the best quality which will be
forwarded to him as soon as possible.
The Secretary of the Treasury has decided not
to issue any more greenbacks and believes that
he can with the receipts from Internal revenue,
from customs and by the issue of certificates o f
indebtedness keep the machine running until the
meeting of Congress. He is under the impres
sion that he not even have to borrow from
the National Banks. Should he be able to make
both ends meet by so doing—we may soon look
fora tumble in gold.

SPEECH ST GEN. CAMERON.
Gen. Cameron was serenaded in Philadelphia
last Thursday evening, and introduced to the crowd
by Senator Nichols, when he made the following
speech:
I suppose I am indebted for this flattering de
mOnstration to the feeling relative to_the recent
appointments. I - can assign no other reason for
it than this, and I suppose I owe the honor main
ly to the Congressmen of Philadelphia, who, for
some reason or other, sought to resider these gen
tlemen unpopular by calling them my friends.
I am proud to believe that they are my friends,
for all the gentlemen holding office under the
Government in this city are faithful officers, hon
est and true men to the Government 'mall&
Union.
While I admit the wisdom of the Democratic
doctrine of rotation in office—proper rotation I
mean—l believe that dishonest men, men unfitted
for their places, should be - removed.
I would, in a change of parties, turn out my
enemies and put in my friends but I would only
remove my political friends for adequate cause.
Why should Mr. Thomas have been removed?
Surely no man during'this - great struggle for the
existence of our country behaved better than be.
He raised two regiments, and himself headed
them in the field, When a subordinate .of his
was a defaulter he didn't whine about the matter;
he said to the Government I will pay the amount
of defalcation myself, and he paid it to the utter
most dollar.
Who has ever brought a charge against Mr.
Reed Myer, the Surveyor of the Port 1 Or who
disputes that Dr. Wallace, \aval•Officer, is not
an honest man and . a good officer-7
I hiwe had no special agency m the appoint
ment of these gentlemert. But lam opposed to
the assumption of power by men elected for a
very different purpose. Permitting these gentle
men to dictate to the President whom he shall
appoint, is giving the whole power of the Executive
to them. It is very proper for them, when asked
for their opinions, to give them, put they must not
attempt to force them upon the Executiveof the
country. (Applause.) There was a time, and
within my memory, too, when the term Member
of Congress from Philadelphia was synonymous
with greatness.
In those days members were too proud to loiter
about the'departments in Washington, hunting up
jobs, or meddling with little - appointments, with
one vote in the hall and two in the lobby. They
devoted their time and, their great abilities to
building up the prosperity of the city, and adding
to the interests of the people they represented,
and if their ,example had always been imitated
Philadelphia 'would not now be the second instead
of the first city in the 'Mon.
The iron from her mountains would not have
been carried. to other States-fur building ships for
we should have had a navy yard here, where, it is
admitted, is the best site in the Union.• In the
olden time a Member of Congress from Philadel
phia would have had sufficient influence to have
carried his point without a disiwnting voice. And
so it should always be, for Philadelphia, the capi
tal of the great State of Pennsylvania, has sent
to the war more men than the same population
ever sent to an army since the world began, and
there is not a battle.field throughout the whole
Confederacy on which hosts of her sons are not
lying, and whose achieCements shall live when
the very monuments erected to their memory
shalihave mouldered into dust.
We are too much in the habit of allowing small
men, in this great State of ours, to regulate our
affairs. Instead of squabbling about little offices,
men's minds should be - turned to the great re r
sources of the Commonwealth. We have min
erals enough to employ ten times the population
of our State, and, connected with them, enter
prises sufficient to occupy us all, and all who may
come among us Our railroad system, just now
completed, reaches almost every portion of our
State. We have opened up in our oil the most
remarkable discovery that the workt- has yet
known—a new and prolific source of wdalth.
Let the gentlemen turn their attentioirio devel
oping our coal, our iron, our timber and our oil,
so that every man among us may enjoy his part
of these great blessings, with which God has en
doived our glorious Commonwealth, and then
their constituents and their fellow citizens every
where will have reason to thank them. 'ln this
way they can best discharge the great duties they
have undertaken to perform.
August 16; 1865:4
The last time I spoke to you here was in favor
of the lamented Lincoln. — It was by the exertions
of the people of Philadelphia, more than my oth
er portion of the State, that he received the vote
of Pennsylvania. He has fallen. He lives in the
heart of his country, and while we remember him
with affection, we are proud to know that he bas
a successor to whom we can turn with no leas
assurance of safety. President Johnson has, per
haps, the most difficult task ever devolved upon
the Chief -Magistrate of any nation. It will be
your duty, gentlemen,,as well as mine, to aid him
by your encouragement and confidence in his good
intentions and signal ability.
We may all have our theories of coneili. tingthe
men who have been in Rebellion, and of restoring
the States to the Federal Government, bat we
should remember that Mr. Johnson is in a position
where ho has all the facts before him better than
we have, and we should not embarrass him by
thrusting our opinions upon him, but rather wait
until he shall have developed a policy, the result
of his mature reflection, and then give it our ear
,nest and patriotic support,- •
A PRIVATE letter from Capt. James M. Moore,
A. Q. M., who was dispatched to Anddisonville,
Ga., for the purpose of giving decent burial to the
remains of our prisoners who - were murdered by
the late Rebel authorities, was received by. J E.
Potts, Chief Clerk of his office in New York.
Capt. M. writes under date of July 26:
" We are encamped within one hundred yards
of the prison pen of Andersonvale, and it isin the
fullestsense of the word nothingmore than a pen.
A Inunim pen, where 30,000 of our brave soldiers
were huddled together in an wide,
not `2ooyards long and scarcely 100 , wide, where they
were exposed to the rays of an almost tropical
sun for months, resulting in the death of thous
ands. This prison-pen should never be permitted
to be destroyed, but should stand until its stock
ade falls to the ground by decay, so that the un
believing of the North may be able to look on this
ground and convince themselves of the inhuman
cruelties perpetrated by the Southern leaders on
our prisoners. This is about the hottest place in
the South. There are yet about 14,000 head
boards to letter and put up. and J. may not get
hoine before the latter part of August.
