To ssy'ro:3ing of th - n - titbit Avila
brought tit the e,osintry by Republican
minnapage ent, the burden of taxation is
likely to bring people to a sense of their
real condition. Indulging in no conjec
tures as corny leasable plan for reducing
the vast aniount of our national indebted
, ness, and speaking only of the sum which
will be required, - annually, to - pay the
intereit on. the public debt, it is painfully
evident that every species of property,
except Government bonds, every com
fort, and even the necessaries of life, are
to be subjected to a crushing weight of
taxation. Leaving the principal to be
paid by future generations, those now liv
ing will find enough to do, to meet the
constantly recurring demands for the
interest on what we owe, and the greatly
increased expenses of the Government.
Add to this the indebtedness of the States,
fearfully augmented by extravagant dis
bursements ; and of the towns and coun
ties, swollen, in many instafiees, to almoit
frightful proportions, and we have an ag
gregate which will tax the resources and
industry of the people to the very extreme
of human endurance. This, in the main
owing to the unavoidable necessities of
war, in a measure to the use of a greatly
depreciated currency, and to no inconsid
erable extent, to the employment of a
host of provost marshals, asseqors, secret
ogents, military commissions and detec
tives,crenders inevitable the inauguration
of a system of taxation, which will sorely

al industry and resources. But we will
suppose—for it is agreeable to think so—
that a loyal and patriotic people will
gracefully yield to the necessities lard
upon them, and manfully meet all just
demands made upon them. But they
will feel that they have a right t 9 require
of their rulers, and of all political parties
claiming their confidence and support.
the most solemn assurances that they will

make the capacity of being able to read

the Pilot "a fisrce , political commotion

It was urged that this was a government

According'y, article 20 of the atn ,, ndments

A Woarur Succasson.—By the recent
death of the bight Reverend Alonzo Pot
ter, the discharge of the important and
laborious duties of the diocese of Penn
sylvania will devolve entirely upon the
Right Reverend William Bacon Steveng,
who was consecrated Assistant Bishop on
the 21 of January. 1862. In the bereave
ment suffered by the Episcopal Church
in the demise of the lamented senior
Bishop, the Philadelphia Aqe sass, it is it
source of consolation to know that his
mantle will fall upon a worthy successor.
Bishop Stevens is universally beloved in
the diocese. He Is distinguished fdr his
great ability, his personal dignity, and his
varied attainments, as well as for - his emi
nent piety and religious fervor. Wherever
he goes in the discharge of his solemn
duties, the influence of his character is
felt by all who are brought in contact
with him. His life is a lesson that. cannot
be too closely studied, and the diocese
may well be proud of having . at its head
imerwhitis kiiimati as an iccorw
plished scholar, a dignified gentleman,
and a true Christian prelate.
The Il t .istou daily Aduyriiser thinks Na
poleon 111. a very "sensitive monarch,"
because he has suppressed the oirculltion
(not very immense, we imegine,) of the
New York tows in his dominions, on ac
count of some offensive strictures upon
his government. One would . hqtrdly sup
pose from the naivete of the Advertiser in
commenting upon this incident, that
newspapers were ever suppressed on this
side of the Atlantic.
An-lowa correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says that among Republicans in
the West lie finda,but one sentiment on
the negro suffrage question, and that is
entire unanimity in its behalf.

Tna DOUBLEDLT COURT-MARTIAL.—The
Court reassembled yesterday, and hoard
evidence as to the character of William
Neal, who has been on trial before that tri
bunal for erns time. Dr. W Ilion Jewell,
Henry Blom, W. B. N. Coszens, and
others, testified at to the very excellent charac
ter of the defendant.
The - latter gentleman also testfhid that Mr.
Neal brd been very exact with him in
measuring the tents he furnished, reject

unusly denied that be ever .rewarded bim
pecuniarily. A large north er of highly
respectable citizens, who'have for years
known Mr. Neal as an honorable citizen,
were in attendance, ready to testify to his
excellent character. They •expressed
ohemselves as being conscious of his honora

The'" Doubleday Court-Martial " is one
of those ornamental relics of the w tr,

unvarying *item for a forlorn local report

of the government in the quality of cer

by " order of the Secretary of the War"
.40 soon as this was done. the two lawyers
who had been speaking for months before
a " Court " nasals'. quietly went before
Judge Thompson of the Supreme Court
P. nnsylvania, and sued out a writ of
habeas corpus. Th' Provost Marshal re
'used to obey the writ, "by order of the

Tennsylvanis seemed to be of the same
thought as Judge Thompson. and there
was a general feeling that in Pennsylva•

Cozzens was released and set free by the

that it esnnot punish petty frauds? Are
Judge Cadwallader and a jury incompe
tent to decide the shrinking qualities of
duck canvass and the character of Wil
liam Neal? If this is the case. let Cad
wallader be removed and Doubleday put

the gallant Major General be sent to
Texas along with Sheridan, and his col
leagues allowei to joie their regiments or
be mustered out of service, that they may
go on a farm and earn a living by some
serviceable labor. Just now, we submit,
when the Secretary of the Treasury is so
short of money that he issues certificates
of indebtedness to pay claims upon the
Government. the sooner we abolish these
expenilve luxuries the better.

Tae Cr.tvii.men POST Omen —The editor
of the Cleveland. Leader has been removed
from the Post Office, and the editor of the
Cleveland gerald appointed to the office.
There is much political significance in the re
moval and appointment.. Both papers and
both editors are Republicans. When the plat

which does not embrace' the radical opposi
tion plank of negro suffrage, was announced
the Postmasler through his paper. the Leader,
denounced it in these terms: " The platform
is chiefly remarkable far what it omits to say,
than for what it says. It weakly and timidly
ignore.; the only vi'at icicle of Vie day—the
great question of negro suffrage. Besides
this there is no other live issue. on which par.
ties are divided. In dodging Otis tho Con.
ventinn has proved itself two years behind
the times, and .has inflicted a bitter disap—
pointment upon all earnest .and thinking
Unionists." The action of the President sh , we
that he does not propose to keep in office men
who npnose the policy he has inaugurated.
How he will treat .postmasters who sit astride
the fence remains to be seen.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE—THREE CHU,
naex DROWNED —We are called upon to re
cord a melancholy occurrence, which took
place on We inestlay evening of last week,
about two miles from Pettotewn, thy which
three interestio; little children of Mr. Joorph'
Wentnet, o f Pottsgreve township, were drown,
cd. The facts of the cane are about as fol.
towsl During the' absence of Mr. Wentzel,
who was ample, ed in this bornuzli, his wife
locked up the home, and taking her children,
five in number, with her, went on a visit to
her father, Mr. Jacob Maurer, who owns a
ff ill on Sprogla'a Creek. and who lives prn.
bably a mile distant from Mr. Wentzell+. In
the evening. when Mrs. Wentzel wished to
return home.. the very heavy rain which
paosed over this vicinity, came up. and Spiv
aee's Creek, from a small, quiet stream, over
'flow& its banks suddenly, and became •
roaring torrent. After this shower was over,
Mr. Henry Manger. a brother of Mrs Went
eel, undertook to take her and her children
home in a carriage. and in doing so. attempt
ed to 'cross th' creek. near Mr Monger's.
When the horse bad got fairly into the stream,
which was deep and rapid. be fell down, np•
setting the carriage end throwing its occu
pants out into the creak. Mr Manger man
aged to get out, and Mrs. Wentzel was also
rescued, after being carried under two or
three times. One of the children clung to
the wagon and was t 'len out safely, and
another wos reseued. when nearly dead, about
three hundred yards down the stream, by its
grandfather, Mr. -Manger. The o her three
children were carried rapidly away and per
ished in the raging waters. One of them
was found the same evening, hut the bodies
of the other two were not recovered until
next lemming, when the flood had s• b Wed.
The 'names of the drowned children were_
Hannah, aged nearly ten years ; Mary. aged,
five, and Charlea, a little baby boy of only
eight months. The horse which was attached
to the wagOn ' 'after falling down, became en.
tangled in the gears, and was also drowned.
Tide case Is one of the most distressing
that has ever occurred in our midst, and the
afiltoted family have the most heartfelt sym
pathies of our people in their great bereave
ment. The funeral of the children took place
on Saturday morning last, and was attended
by a large concourse of relatives, neighbors
and friends, The eertnarton the omosion was
preached-by Rev. J. H. Dubbs, pastor of the
