people of - the United-Slides are just
no-,v, complaining of oppressive taxation.
ilia item of expense has become sod burden
some as to seriously interfere with -the busi
ness of the country. The manufacturer is
taxed for-the -raw material he purehased, l
again taxed upon the articles constructed
• out of that material, and, in addition, obliged
' to pay an income tax upon the proceeds of
his industry, labor, and enterprise. Commis-
sioner Wells says that "not less than' ten
thousand articles pay internal' revenue 'ire=
'positions," and Federal taxation ott Pro :
ducts at successive stages of their manufac
ture are so excessive that. we have no
chance of competing in foreign markets with
other nations. This condition of things has
broken up many branches of industry alto
gether, and capitalist& have abandoned the I
field. Such action, of course, operates In an
injurious manner upon the general interests
of the nation, and laborers are becoming res
tive and dissatisfied, while at the same time
capitalists are disposed to curtail their in
vt.tments rather than to enlarge them.
The only way to reduce the taxes is to re
duce the expenses of the government. The
people of the United States before the war
were charged'two dollars and fifty cents per
capita for the annual expenditures of the
general government. Then, seventy-seven
millions were sufficient to cover the current
disbursements from the national Treasury
Now our interest account alone will absorb
double that sum, while the other expenses
are maintained at a ruinously high figure.'
The Freedman's Bureau, the cost of investi
gation committees appointed by the Radical
Congress for political effect, and other de
vices, have, even since the Way, kept the ont
-I:l3's of the Government six-fold in advance
of those in 1860. Runt's Magazine gives the

Official intelligehee has been received by
the Austrian-Minister at Washington ; and is
confirmed by official dispatches to our gov

of Mexico, Maximilian, had been sentenced
to. death by a court-martial, and that the
sentence had been carried into
_effect at 7
o'clock on the morning of the 19th of June,
by shooting him dead with a file of Mexican
soldiers, The despatch comes from the cap
tain of an Amstrian sloop-of-war, which ar
rived on the 29th inst., drapettin mourning,

merely because he had been unfortunate In

BLACK RECRV/T8 NEEDED
• The Radicals are in great and- distressing
need of negro votes. Negro suffrage is their
only hope of salvation; and if that should
fail them, how awful must be their condition.
They would be doomed to perish miserably.
They see the handwriting on the wall that
they have been "weighed in the balance and
found wanting," and hence their frothy and
almost maniac appeals fir negro suffrage.
The sentence against them is uttered by
men of their oWn party. "A long war with
its demoralizing influences," says • Thurlow
Wecti, - thas cankered the Republican party."
- This cankered, corrupt, rot ten party is now
controlling the destinies of this great Repub
lic. But its leaders see clearly that its cor
rnption'und rottenness will soon end in its
annihilation. Hence, they seek to inoculate
it with a new element—the African—to in
fttse a little more life and vigor into it and
preserve lit deiaying, rotten carcass a little
longer from utter extinction. This is, in
hie!, a tacit, but yet a most clear and unde
niable, admisilon—that the white voters of
the country will overthroW the Radical par
ty and drive the cosruptionists from the
high places of trust anti power. They dare
not trust the white men of the country.
They are afiaid of them, Hence, their de
cided purpose to give the negroes the right
to vote in order that they may vote for Rad
icals. Mitt is_the sum and sulitance of their
clamor for negro suffrage. It is a mean -and
cowardly motive, but it is the sole one that
actuates the Radical polificianS.
WHAT OVOHT TO BO DOSE.
Xow is 'Willie, says the World, to pre
pare for the great Presidential contest of
18i IS, upon the result of which dependS civil
liberty in this country. It is to settle the
question whether we are to be governed by
the Constitution and laws, or by the whims
and caprice of an irresponsible majority of a
Rump Congress. 'lt is to determine, more
than any other election that has preceded - it,
for or against the representative constitution
al government established by the heroes and
sages of the Revolution. It is to determine
whether we shall be a great, powerful, free
and prosperous nation, governed by wise and
humane laws, or whether the country is tots'
torn to pieces by Diction and violence, and
finally to end in despotism. If the country
is to be redeemed from its present downward
tendency, - it must be done through the prin
ciples and the sway of the Democratic party.
This is a matter that vitally concerns us all.
ERs are all alike interested. We cannot es
cape its consequences, however we may neg
lect tour duties. Each and every Deinocrat
has u duty to perform,-, and , iu no other way
calt;Eso much- good he accomplished us' by
the timely diffusion of sound Democratic
newspapers. Every Democrat should con
stitute himself a committee of one for that
purpose. Put them on the cross-roads; put
the Min the families of the poor, and in the
hands of moderate Republicans. Get up sub
scriptions among Democrats who are able
and willing to contribute for gratuitous cir
culation. Democrats have failed in their du
ty in this respect. Our opponents circulate
five papers - Jo our one. They appeal to men's
passions ; Democrats appeal to their reason
and their patriotism.. Oar opponents are
chiefly held together by lust of power and
public plunder; we are unitednpon the great
and tried principles of civil and religious
liberty. , Their history is one of strife, blood
shed, disunion, bankruptey, and widespread
national calatu4; whilst <Blot. is a history of

Tun Pittsburgh Post, in commenting upon
the possibility of the Radicals nominating
Gen. Grant for President. says:
"If Gen. Grant is nominated by' the Re
publican party, the question will a-rise witeth:
er we (the Democrats) shall, as a arty, op.
pose - his election? There is no Individual in
the United States could command a corporal's
guard against him."
To which the Republican, of the same city,
responds, and we endorse every w9rd that it
utters :
— "The Democratic puly will neversopport
Genet's+ ) Grunt, General McClellan, or Getter
' al anybody else who will demean himself by
'tempting a nomination under the banner of
'Mut Stevens, Wendell Phillip', Ashley,

The same magazine thus alludes to the
profligate waste of public money in Wash
ington and in the Northern States and
when, it is remembered that for the past six
years the Radicals hare had 11tH possession
of power in this section, the tax-payers, man
ufacturers, and business men of the nation
will see the importance of their defeat as
mennß of relief:
It surel} cannot be 'deemed unreasonable
to repent that for the current fiscal year, we
shotild hays something like an approxima
tion for the . scale of expenditure which ob
tained before the war; excepting in those
items of expense which must be regarded as
inevitable results of the war. Yet we find
the report of the Secretary of the. Treasury
gives for the six heads of expenditure above
enumerated, un aggregate of #216,569,398.as
the estimated disbursement for 1867 or
$156,710,026 more than in 1860. It is :true
that of this amount $04,000,000 is apportioned
for the payment of bounties; but it is also
true that it is through appropriations of this
very character, based upon no nelifal claim
on the government, and really in the nature
of it political gratuity, that the public expen
ditures are being so enormously increased.
Nor is this extravagance in apprOpriations
peculiar alone to Congress. The State Leg
islatures show a like recklessness of expen
ditures. Here also the immense sums raised
in support of the war have demoralized•
every idea of economy, and , large suits of
money are voted with spendthrift heedless
ness. It may be safely estimated that the
States, exclusive of the - Southern States, have
increased their debts during the war nearly
$300,000,000, while the city,town and county
debts have increased to a still larger extent,
the consequent local taxation being most in
jurious to the interests of property holders,
We think it is high. time that some check
was imposed upon this recklessness in accu
mulating debts. A large portion of our Fed
eral, State and local war debts were con
tracted in a currency worth 50 to CO rents on
the dollar, and most of them will liti've to be
liquidated in gold or its equivalent.. So far as
respects debts contracted for war purposes
I this was an inevitable misfortune. But. in
the ease of enterprises undertaken now, or
appropriations made for unnecessary objects,
no excuse can be given. Unless we are pre
pared to be stigmatized as a nation of bank
rupts we must suspend, the accumulations
of debts, and by a system of rigid economy in
every brunch of expenditures prepare for the
day of liquidation.
Our roublic men and the press haye,*of
late years, so dwelt upon the idea of our ex
haustless resources, it has really become a
Popular belief that there is no limit to our
paying powers. The apparent ease with.
which the revenue has been raised the last
two years has helped to - confirm this belief
That we have the ability to meet all our out
standkrobligations, and that they will be
faithfully met, none can or wish to deny. It,
is not the possibility of repudiation that *a
fear; it is ratherlbe knowledge that we shall
make full payment, but in doing so shall be
compelled to endure a system of taxation
which will paralyze our energies and crip
plc our industries unless we check this uni
versal spirit of extravagance. Even now the
country is laboring under its burden of-taxa
tion; every interest is becoming restive un
der its portion of the load, and endeavoring
to shift it upon other shoulders. Shall this
be increased or will those in power realize
our true condition, and cease giving away
the. public money and lending the public,
faith for private enterprises ? '
These facts should marshal the people in
the proper direction. We must curtail the
expenses of our national, State and munici
pal governments, or expect financial and
business revulsions of a most appalling char
acter. Reforin need not be expected from
the party in power. They always increase,
and never diminish, the cost of government,
If, therefore, taxes are to be lowered, it must
be through the agency of the anti-Radical
party. Let the people remember that, when
counting the cost of conducting their busi
ness,
JUDGE SUADSWOOD.
On every side the Radical press is compli
menting Judge Sliarswood, the Democratic
nominee for Supreme Judge. He is to good
a man and able a Judge, that they:. cannot
help saying kind things about hint The
Pittsburgh Gazette, an extreme Radical ,pa
per, s.a3-.4:
"In nominating Judge Sharswood as their
candidate for the Supreme bench, the Demo
crats have made a wise selection; for them
selves dining the progress of the canvass,
and for the people of - the whole Common
wealth in vase he shall he elected. He is as
suitable a man for the place as could be
brought forward. Naturally of sound and
discriminating Judgment, his facilities have
been matured by thorough study and large,
varied experience. His reßutadon as a man
is unblemished. buleeddie isaconsistent and
honored office-bearer in the Presbyterian
Church. As a magistrate a suspicion of un
fairness or partiality has never -been raised
against him."
The Sunday Dispatch, of the same politi
cal persuasion, says:
"No better lawyer than the Hon. George
Sharswood can be found in Penizylvania. As
a Judge he has had ample experience, and
has conducted himself in all things with pu
rity, inmartiality and industry. His knowl
edge of the law ,ts extensive. His longprac
tice has cast a mind, originally of a judicial
bent, into a firm and enduring mould. His

"It was apparent Wen impartial observer
that tlorganization of the convention had
been preVionsly arranged for the purpose of
achieving a triumph for a particular faction.
Why it was, we are not prepared to say, but
it is a that that the Mends 'Of 'Mr. Finney
seemed to permit their enemies to - work the
cards to snit their Own peculiar interests.
the officers of the convention were anti-Fin
ney men of the most bitter and uncompro
mising stripe, and, as is reported, last fall sup
ported Gen. McCalmont for Congress. The
County Committee is also anti-ney, the
chairman of it being Mr. IL C. Johnson, and
one of the members Mr. J. D. Nicholson, late
of the Crawford Journal. These are but
specimens or the whole. We predict that
from this time forth the friends of D. A. F.

WE have seen-no event in political circles
for many a day that gives us more gratifica
tion than the re-nomination of Wm. P. Jenks,
Esq.; as the Democratic candidate for the
Legislature from the Clarion district of this
State. • In the last Assembly Mr. Jenks was
adinittedly one of the ablest, if not the very
ablest, member. lie had something better,
too, •than rare talent,--a stern integrity which
even his bitterest political opponents would
not undertake to impeach. Were more men
like Mr. Jenks in our legislative bodies it
would be better for the country.
Tan uniformly kind tone in which the new
dress of the Observer has been announced
by our cotemporaries of both parties, in all

members of the fraternity. The"editor returns
his warmest thanks to the , brethren for this
renewed token of their good. wishes, and
hopes some day to be able to present a jour

TICE party newspapers are beginning to
canvass Gen. Grunt's position with a good

He finally settled it by saying that he was
"a' Whig, hut not an ultrii Whie We
think it not unlikely that Gen. Grant's. posi

THE N. Y. Tribune is responsible for the
following piece ot "sarkasm :"
" We have another batch of rumors about
Mr. Stanton. Some say that he will resign,
others that he will be removed. We discredit
them. Mr. Stanton belongs to the class that
rarely die, and never resign. As to his polit

that there are three parties in the country
now—the Democrats, the Republicans, and

one, no matter Low the case is decided;
A CONNEeTICUT newspaper states that the
third wife of a poor man living in Plainfield,
in that State, has worked in n factory till
she has laved $l2O, which she expended,
without the knowledge 'of her husband, in
the erection of- two neat heatbdones in the
cemetery, to the. memories of Ids two dead
wives.
A mov mauled Thomas Gallagher, aged
seven years, with sonic other boys, was
drinking from ft hydrant In front of-some
new buildings in Philadelphia, on Friday
afternoon, when one OP the brick-layers threw
a brick at the boys which struck young Gal
lagher on the head causing instant death.
The murderer was arrested.
Putts has gone mad on the subject oflow
necked dresses. They tire getting more and
more dee.Allete, and the leaders of ten are ap
pearing without any bodice at all, merely
using n band like that' worn by infants,
which has the advantage of covering .up
nothing in front, and being uttbrly regardless
of everything tx , hlnd. It requires tact, how
ever, to keep it on. One lady; with no
sleeves, at a ball lately :given in Paris, and
only . a gold cord, in the excitement of the
dance broke the cord, and everything came
down by the rim: Are we coining to this?
linmu w - Yorlkto was splendidly received
upon his return to . Salt: Lake City from his
tour through his bmvid dominions. With
two dozen of hisyives, a counsel of twelve
saints and escorts, secretaries - and outriders,
&e., &e.—formine a suit almost as brilliant
as the Sultan of 'Turkey's—he devoted two
weeks to examine the various settlements,
'Mid Salt Lake determined to celebrate his
return in nn appropriate manner. In the
Ivords of the local print, "the dimensions of

were over filly carriages in the procession,
and all the people of Salt Lake were , out to
do honor to their leader.
Drama Sunday and Monday- last there
were in Cincinnati and immediate vicinity
three deaths by suicide and two horrible
murders. The saddest tragedy of all was the
murder of a young girl by her lover, and the
subsequent suicide of the latter. Wm, Betts
had been the Accepted 'lover of Sarah Klein
for about a year, but she became tired of hint
and preterred another. - Betts went to her
house last Sunday night and saw a rival kiss
Sarah at the gate. If 4 drew a revolver, anti
us she turned anti ran to, the house, fired
three shots at her s without hitting her.
Gaiumg the front door, site rushed into the
house fold locked the Owl.. He pursued her,
dashed himself against the door, forced it
open, rushed into the room to which she had
retreated, and tired ,at her another shot.
The ball Penidrated vital snot, passing in
•at the lufek.nnd she fell to the floor, dead.
The murderer rushed' again into the open
air, down through the yard, over fences and
fields, halted suddenly, placed the muzzle of
the pistol to his head, discharged the re
tuahnu,g athridge, and blew Lis brains out.

A SAD Tat:E.—A St Louis correspondent

Home that was, alas 1 she went to ; but
icy ghumes and rude rebuffs were all the

boy who was sent from Croton, Conn., to
New London, last summer, with a bag of
green corn to sell. The boy was gone all
day and returned with the bag unopened,
which he dumped on the floor saying
"There is your corn, go and sell it youriele
I can't." 'Bold?" "No," said the boy, "I
was all over London - with it, and nobody
said anything about green awn.-- Two or
three fellows asked me what el'd got in the
hag, and I told them it was none of their

rUTWATIVE PILLS have bedome n settkd
necessity with the American people. Indeed,
cathartics always have peen and,always must
be used, in some form, by all mankind. In
this country, the pilular form of administra
tion hn been growing in favor since pills
were first made of Aloes and Rhubarb rolled
into a ball. Their high position in the pub
lic confidence has finally been secured and
fastened into permanency, by Ayer's Cathar
tic Pilll4, the most combination of
medicine for the diseases they are intended
to cure, that science ban devise or art pro

TILE lima BECAUSE PRACTICAL—The sys
tem, of practical' actual business training
adopted and so'successfully pursued at the
Iron City College, Pittsburgh; has been thor
oughly tested and proved vastly superior to
the old theoretical metlitids pmaued in most
other:schools. By reducing theory to actual
practice, the student becomes an experienced
accountant before graduating from the col
lege. To be convinced of its immeasurable
superiority one has but to visit the college
and examine for himself, and compare the
graduates of this institution'with those of
other business colleges.
