The more the merrier. They would be lying and stealing bere,.if , they were not raiding there:" Notwithstanding this is the usual estimate put upcn• the Irish people by "Republican" leaders, they are anxious enough at election tiM, to secure the Irish vote.

DamocitArac viaroetes. The Omaha (Nebraska) Herald of June 11th says : "The Democracy have carried the Legislature, notwithstanding gigan tic swinditts above the reserve and in Richardson; Cass county elects the Dem ocratic delegation clean, giving the Legis lature to the Democracy by a majority of eight on joint ballot, thus securing the election of •two Democratic United States - aell&thrt."

When it is remembered that this has been an aboli tion Territory, and the last Delegate was elected (Hiller, Rep;,) two years ago, by about 1000 majority, the wonderful ' change of sentiment can be appreciated. The Radicals have been claiming the I\ , .election i Oregon by about one thousand 'majority.; st another spirit appears in the dream, ,bd the result is said to admit i i of a doubt, o- ' nd in that case the Demo crate crats wil a the rick. Returns of elec tions in Wa shington Territory show large Democratic gains. The entire Democrat ic tickets in nine counties are elected, and are believed to be so in four-others. In Connecticut, as in all other quarters, the Democratic star is in the sacendant. Now London, in the charter election re. cent', carried the Democratic ticet for Alderman and Council by the very small majority of 25, which is, nevertheless, a handsome gain of 109 since April, when Governor Hawley carried the city by 84. The election at Mound City, 111., for municipal officers, resulted overwhelming ly in favor of the 'Democrats. All the lo cal elections in Southern Illinois show Democratic gains of from fitly to one bun tired per cent. on last year's vote. At a merit election in Clyde, Ohio, the Demo. crab • aced the Bepablican majority from 50 to 75. • A .fohnsen meeting was lately held in TOwands, Bradford county, Wilmot's old stamping ground, . and the darkest negro equality_region in the State.- The meeting was large, and was. participated, in by some of the most influential Republ licans of the county.

Tan ISVPH.63IB COURT. The . Washington cwretpondent of the memo Tribune pretends to have Amer - tsined that of the Judges of the United States Supreme Court Mash% Chase, Mil- Swayne and Davis agree with Con ' gee, and Messrs. Nelson. Grier, Clifford rind Field wee with theZresident, as to the position of the Sou ern States and matters connected with reconstruction generaUy. He finds in,this equal division `of opinion the reason why the Senate is reluctant to confirm as Judge Mr. Stans bury, of Ohio, who agrees with the Presi dent and would give him thesopport of a nAjority of the Supreme Court. It is not a pleasant thing to see the Supreme Court predated about as a body of partisans, and to hem that the pessoind ambition of the Chief Justice and his notorious P 1440 ling and it for the Presidency have waked the dignity of, that body and scilleeted it tO such disparaging newspaper sammatit. • - Tuft luau? or MattAGlis The Supreme Court of ' , ;Penney s hrenia has just pronounced a decision on what is familiarly known as the "deserters' law." The dicision does not take cogni mune of the question as to the conatitu- tionslity of the law, but is chiefly con fined-to the point at Issue, to-wit: the right of a judge of election to reject a min's vote when the word "deserter" is written opposite his name on the list of voters. Chief Justice Woodward and Justices Strong and Thompson decided that the Mudge of eketirms could not re use a man's you until he had been tried and eontrie:ed of desertion; while Justices Read and Ag new, on the contnay l held that the judges of elections were the proper persons to decide the question. This is an important judicial announce meat. The law in question put into the hands of any polliical officer making.up the list of voters the renter to disfranchise a freeman by writing against his name the word "deserter." The amount of proof necessary to substantiate that charge rest ed solely with the persons who were to prepare the official enumeration and names of voters for the different election divisions of the State. They could say what constituted a desertion, and what was to be called by a milder name. If a man failed to respond to a draft at pro. eisely the time designated in the notifica tion, no notice need be taken of any ex tenuating circumstances, and. his name could be marked in such a manner as to , ? I close the ball -box against him and load his character "th false imputations. In the hands of mortar:dons politicians, this poirer could be used in such a manner as to work incalculable mischief. They could exempt friends and punish enemies. They could usurp the prerogatives of the judges and inspectors' of elections, and in this manner decide important issues connect ed with the welfare of the people and the perpetuity of the free institutions of the country. But the Supreine Court has decided that, under the law of Congress, a man must be legally "tried and convicted of desertion" before the o.; cers of election are justifier:Kin refusing his vote. The mere circumstance of the word 7 "deserter" being placed opposite his name is no ground for disfranchisement.. !The right of voting, of participating in the afar° of the nation, is of too much importance in a political and governmental point of view to be interfered with for partisan purposes. If men have been guilty of desertion,' they can be_ arrested and tried, as they were after the war of 1812, and then, if the law of Congress be constitutional, the punishment will fol low.

ThO action of the Supreme Court in this carrijlo a just and proper vindication of the right of suffrage, and will do much to 'polar° a fair expression of the wilt of the ir°ople at the coming election.—Phila. Age. imit fIATIONAL FINANCES. The fiscal year closes with the present month, sad it is already certain that the receipts .from Internal taxes alone will somewhat exceed three hundred millions of doltsiii, or very nearly one minion from each secular day. From customs the re -.tots of the first , quarter were over forty seven millions, or ps ome th ose of the entire paean)! have exceeded one hundred and fifty millions, making an ag gregate of at least four hundred and fifty millions of dollarii raised by taxation for the support of the 'Federat Government alone during the year succeeding the close of our great civil war, and wbile'a third of the country lay exhausted, ravaged, dew toted, by four years of gigantic, desperate strife. In •this year, though a large pro portion of our country has?: contributed very little, we have more than met our current expenses, includingthe interest on our great debt ; for this ~,,:tebt which Wm ever twenty-eight hundied millions, km been reduced by at least fifty mil lions. And whereas, we all apprehended one year ago that the settlement,of all outstanding claims would carry our debt up to three billions, it is now'mor4ly cer tain not to reach that amount.-' These facts should encourage while they admonish us. Our people are heavily taxed—perhaps more heavily than_ any other on earth. Some of the items which go to make up the aggregate are transi tory; as, for instance, the support of the suffering poor of the South, whom the war bereft of ,protectors and resources, and who, though their subsistence is drawn from the Freedman's Bares*, are in good fart whites. This will not out the nation half so much during the next tx it did during the fiscal year now closing ; while it may probably be thenceforth saved al together. Then our pension list, now heavy, will dwindle year by, year, as those entitled to pensions shall be gathered to their fathers, blessing and blest by their rescued country. And -if Congress would but constitute an energetic and fearless Retrenchment Committee, and instruct it to abolish every useless office, reduce every exorbitant salary or allowance, and curtail every expense, we are confident that many millions more may be saved.— i N. Y. Tribune. NOT TUB !SKIN ALONE. 'Gov. Fenton, we sae now, and the Rev. Dr. Cheerer reiterates the old absurdity. that the negro is forbidden a vote because of his skive—his mere complexion t No one ever puteforth any such absurd the ory, and hence it is criminal in men_ of edusiation, thus to misrepresent the opin 7 ions ot their fellow-men. Whether a maxi's skin Is black or blue, or yellow or white— s woman , a blonde, or a brunette—is not the question, for no one Makes mere color a qualification for voting. What parts the Caucasian from the negro—as far apart as. polo is from pole—is not ,his skin, the cuticle, or coloring matter in that akin but the brain, the \ head, the whole strui tam and organisatton of the bones,. from the, crown of the he at to the heel—in short, the whole anatomical organization. The race is cliffermA from beginning to end, if not the species. The white theory is that the black man, the negro man was created by God— never tti be the equal—but ever to be the inferior a of the White man. The proof is not only ssicred,tnat profane listory--sue.s at the. partings on the tombs nearthe Pyramids, 5,000 years old, when the negro was serving the Arab race, just as he now serves in South Carolina, and Louisiana or New York. This proof is also here, thertkend everywhere in the inferior and servile occupations of the negro, to which he was created by God, and front which he cannot escape. The white, man's iheorlis not . that a mulatto•or quadrben, with White blood iii 1 one•half or threefourthe•may not be as clever as some white men; but that the negro, per as the race, is unfit for equality and fraternity with the white man, and created to do him service, and not to be his master.l The Bible and all profane history denionatrate Ibis. / And the living history of our day shows us that when the negro is left to himself, as In Jamaica and Hayti, he escapee from the civilitiation the white race has given him, and reverts to his natural native African Feti4l bar barium; -Goa never create-I the pure ne gro to be the equal of the white man.— This is the thesis, and when Gov. Fenton or Dr. Cheover talk only of complexion they make a theory of their own no one combats.—N. i'. Express. CLYMERPE PROSPECTS. From all parts of the State, we continue to receive the most cheering accounts of the rapid progress our distinguished can didate for Governor is making in popular favor. In the strong Democratic districts; the people are for him to a man ; and in the counties which have been hitherto carried by the Republicans, he is making great headway. The Democrats are uni t d and cordial in his support, while thou sands of conservative voters amongghe opposition, who are heartily sick of — the destructive and revolutionary measures of the Radical Congress; openly declare their intention to go for him, u the best means of administering _an effective rebuke to the Stevens and Sumner cabal of disn nionists. Everywhere the name of Cly mer stands high in the confidence and af fection of the people, and. wherever be goes, he is greeted with the heartiest en thusiasm. On the other hand, his opponent, Geary, is its a dead weight upon the party that nominated him. His name awakens lit tle interest, and kindles no warmth is the popular heart. :Even among the sol diers, for whose - votes his - nomination was intended as abaft. he meets with poor en couragement. lie has no military-glory to attract them to him, and they have no confidence in Ws administrative abilities as a civilian. The organ is it ion of Soldiers' Clymer Clubs in almost every county, shows that the "boys in blue" prefer an honest, and capable statesman to a paper general who never won a battle. With no Provost, Marshals to intimidate voters at home, and no soldiers in the field to be tampered with by their superior officers, - Clymer's election by the unbiased verdict o the people may be considered a sure thing. •He will undoubtedly poll the full vote that was given to George W. Wood s ward in 1863, and Mai vote will elect Aim by' a majority of at least twenty thousand.—,Read ing Gazette. ' 3 TUE DI7TY. Gad still fluttc re between 150 and 160— at 153 on Saturday—and no prospect of a fall ! During the last six weeka we ex ported $40,389,3=! In other words, we exported $40,000.000 more of gold than we imported, with calming influences on the 'London 'market, perhaps, but with what influence on America ? The pre mium fluttering toward 160 must answer. In the meantime all business seems to be chaos—chaos with double and single entry. Prudent merchants find it hard to buy at a safe cqcomission, or to selliat a safe profit. Shrewd money-dealers ,reap large gains, and Wall street once more revels in a war delirium of gold gambling.

Tribune. hLOYALTY: 2 In a speech delivered in the Senate last month, Mr. Cowan gave, in response to an interruption by Mr. Wilson, what seems to us the best definition of ,loyalty, that has been made. "Loyal I" said he, "what is loyalty? I ask Massachusetts, what is 'loyalty ?' What is the meaning of -the word? A fellow that votes with yet!! That is like the fellow defining orthodox. 'Orthodox is the way i t believe ; heterodox is the way the other man believeo-- 'Loyal' means an Abolitionist, I suppose. At least, I find that evezybody - wha-dons not happen to be an Abolitionhit, or tarred with that stick, is said to be disloyal. Loy alty means obedience to the laws.. It means legality. Legalis meant law as *ell as lex meant it. When a man alleges his loyalty to me; let me see his reverence for the Constitution and the laws. Show me a man who disregards either— show me a man who does not believe in the Consti tution which brought this country to such a pitch of prosperity for seventy five years and made us ao grekt and's° happy a pea ple—show me a man who lays sacriligi_ us hands upon that, instrument., especially when I know that half the time he does not understand it, and that he never read a commentary upon it in his life.—show me that man, and I show pin one who is not loyal. Show me a man who for a tem porary advantage, either for himself or his party, would tot a foot upon one of his country's laws, and he is not loyal." IMPCBLICSII - LIBMitALITY. Nothing in the party of "great moral ideas" is more striking than their liber ant) in spending other people's money. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens sees no objection to clapping a trifle of "twenty or, thirty millions of dollars" on the back of our existing national debt, ,merely as a testi menial of our national sympathy with Senor Juarez and Mr.. Romero. " Thirty millions, moreor less, is nothing to Thad deus Stevens, and, In fact, it Is but a pal: try sum, being only about Ave times as much as is necessary for the support of the national Ezecutive,Legislative and Ju diciary, with the governments of all our twat': leg. • Such being the magnificent temper of ita leader. the party of "great mom ideas° snakes no difficulty about voting Captain -Fox the um of an ironclad and ;00,000 ME in money to make a pleasant summer /rip to Europe, while hardly a week pasaes by that the Secretary of' War or the Secretor/ of State does not order 'A special train for some distinguished individual out his way to dine at Washington, the c c4 t if the tram, if not of the dinner also, tieing de frayed out of the national' exchequer.— General Duke was thus entertained the other day, and very possibly Santa Anna may be thus entertained next week. .

There is a strong disposition with the sensation journals lof the metropolitan city to create a sort of panic in relation t 3 the cholera ) and this disposition pre, veils to a certain degree in the telegraph reports. Every cs, , f3 of sickness which in any way approach& a the -chol, is at once given to the city papers)ts a real case of the Asiatic, and forthwith it flies over the wires to the extent of the country as an evidence that we are to Ee afflicted with this scourge.

New Yoik was never free from any epidemio than to day, while the health of our own city was never better.

Waiving the question as to the constitutional validity of the proceed ings of Congress upon the joint resolution Proposing the amendment, or as to Wel merits of the article which it submits through the Executive Department to the Legislatures of the States, I dee k it prii per to observe that the steps taken by the Secretary of State as detailed' in theat;- eompanying report are to be• Considered as purely ministerial, and in no sense whatever committing the I.xecutive to an approval of the recommendation of the amendment to the State Legislaturea or to the people. On the contrary, a proper appreciation of, the letter and spirit of the Constitution, as well as of the interests of national . order, harmony and union, mid defer. - nce . for an enlightened public judgment may at this time well suggest a doubt whether any amendment to the Constitution ought to be approved by Con gress and pressed on the Legislatures of the several States for final decision, until after the admission of such loyal Senators and Representatives of the non represen ted States as have- been or may hereafter be chosen in conformity with the Consti tution and laws of the United States.
