FOR SUPREME. JUDGE,
Hon. George Sharswood,
OF PHILADELPHIA.
SHERIDAN REMOVED.
The President,on Saturday,issued an order
directing the transfer of Gen. Sheridan from
the command of the Louisiana District to
that of Nisionrt.artd assigning Gen. Goo. H.
Thomas to the - position lately occupied by
Sheridan. This is the boldest movement yet
made by Air. Johnson, and will increase his
reputation for 'courage; whatever may be
thought of its polio*. General Sheridan
has of late become the special idol
.. of the
Radicals. His tyrannical acts in New Or
leans, and the insulting manner in which he
conducted himself 'towards the President,
met their heartiest approbation, and they
have endeavored by every means . in their
power to Prevent his Much deserved removal.
The course of the President is a direct de
fiance of their threats, and we shall see now
how much they were in earnest. A gen
eral howl may be expected front one part of
the land to the other: and the admirers of
Sheridan will seek to put him on the track
for the Presidency, but whether the machin
ations of rampant Radicalism will result in
anything more titan a temporary outburst
rests for the future . to settle. The removal
will undoubtedly increase Sheridan's popu
larity among the Radicals, and lessen that of
Gen. Grant in the same quarter, for they will
argue, with good foundation, that had the
latter not approved of it, he would not have
accepted of the War office when he knew
that it was 'certain to follow.
If our understanding of the case be correct,
Sheridan is not removed so much for his ar
bitrary and despotic rule, as for. personal dis
respect for the President, exhibited in the
most offensive fornf in official orders and re
ports. His general administration of the
affairs of his departrhent will hardly be devi
ated from by General Thomas, for it was in
thorough accordance with the intent of Con
gress in 'framing its infamoits legislation for
the rule of the Southern States, of which the
latter is understood to be a warm admirer.
But General Thomas, tyho is both an older
and better soldier than Sheridan, will never
violate the principle of military subordina
tion by insulting his chief, and to that extent
the remaral of Sheridan will be some slight .
improvement. As a question of right and
justice we do not hesitate to give it our most
.fervent endorsement ; tic one of party policy,
we feel assured, as we Sag two weeks ago,
that it will be found a mistake, beyond. any
heretofore made by the, Administration. On
this point we are well aware that many of
- our friends will disagree with us, but a few
months will show the correctness of on r posi
tion. The Radiehl4 thrive Upon agitation—
it is their meat and drink—and anything
that enables them to get up a furore, to in
flame and becloud the popular mind, is hailed
with as much relish as a gift from Heaven.
The removal of Sheridan,. coming as it'
does on the eve of important political cam
paigns in a number - of the States, is precisely
the thing which they most eagerly coveted,
and will afford them ,the pretext for doing
acts which they would never dare to under
take :when the people were in possession of
their cool judgment. And while it thus af
fects
political interests in the North, it can
bring no relief to the oppressed people of
the South.. The rule of General Thomas in
Tennessee is an index of what may be ex
pected of him in Louisiana, and we fail to see
anything in it that encourages us to hope
that aflidrs there will be changed for the
better. A - warm supporter of Congress, he
will take good care that things move steadi
ly forward in accordance with the Jacobin
programme. Negro rule will continue to be
substituted for that of intelligent and educat
-ed white men. Ignorance and passion will .
give law to eight millions of American citi
zens, and This degraded despotism will be
enforced by the bayonet. We, of the North,
must bear our share of the penalty, in the
form of increased taxes; and the conscious
] Hess that our laws will be, to a very great
extent, under the control of the semi-civilized
barbarians of the Aloha= and Georgia rice
swamps and cotton fields. Our only release
from this financial and political bondage lies
with the voters of our own section, and they,
alas, seem to have - been struck blind to rea
son, to patriotism, and to every instinct of
personal and public-interest.
THE _Observer, speaking of the Conover
plot, accusing Ashley and Butler of endeav
oring to manufacture false evidence against
the PrOident, fitly asks: "Could anything
be more satanic—anything more truly breath
ing the spirit of hell itself—be devised -than
this scheme ?" In view that the scheme has
been proved to have been gotten up by the
Democrats for Democratic purposes, we
should say not. We should like to hear our
cotemporary's opinion on the Wood-Pryor ,
Niblack-Rogers plot against Judge Holt.—
.1)/44patch.
As our opinion will not be likely to - have
much weight with the class of readers who
place their reliance upon the -Dispatch, we
deem it advisable to give that fit a paper
which has hitherto been standard authority
with many of them, viz : The New York
Tribune. In an article last week upon the
matter to which the Dispatch alludes, it com
mented as follows :
"Some ill-advised friend of MT. Molt gives
a Washington correspondent several - affida
vits from people whom nobody knows, as
sailing Gel Dick Taylor, of the Confederate
army, and Gen. Roger A. Pryor, of the Con
federate army, and Mr. Benjamin Wood, of
this city; as guilty of subordination of perju
ry. Mr. Wood may speak for himself. We
do not like his course, but we will do him
the justice of believing that these stories are
false. Because a man is a Democrat he is
not necessarily a scoundrel: As for General
Taylor, he is said to be in the South some:
where, trying to earn a living. Mr. Pryor is
a member of the New York bar, who seems
to have retired into the absolute seclusion of
his profession. These men were Rebels ;
but, because they were Rebels, are not, nee-,
essarily, petty knaves. , Mr. Pryor publishes
an affidavit denying, as explicitly as words
will permit, the truth of the chargeg, so far
as he is concerned. We shall ask better-evi
dence than what we have read before believ
ing that either Taylor, Wood, or Pryor are
perjurers. In the mean time,. the whole
business is nasty, and we wish there was an
end of it."
SINCE the removal of Stanton the Radical
press has stopped abusing Andrew Johnson,
and is devoting its energy to the detraction
of General Grant. The New York Tribune
denies that he has "ever lichened from what
is called his 'habitual retieeneeTto sustain
Congress, or in any - way criticise the Presi
dent ;'J and asserts that- "had he declined the
appointment of Secretary, of War, which, be
ing a civil office, he had a right to decline—
they would not have succeeded in removing
Mr: Stanton." It says, also, and challenges
contradiction, that "there is no written or
spoken word we ltaye ever seen or heard to
justify the assertion that Grant is a Radical,
and that all his acts, and the acts of his
loudest friends, lead to a contrary inference."
The minor Radical press join in chorus with
the Tribune, and are as zealously endeavor
ing to make him out a supporter of Johnson
a. they were before in seeking to prove hint
an upholder of Congress. The same tactics
that were pursued in Gen. McClellan's ease
have been Adopted in that of Grant, and un
less he makes a public declaration of Radical
views before long, there is little doubt that
be will butts meanly and unjustly maligned
as the former.

holders antl 7 .depen4ents who cling to and

when men's passions were excited, when the
government was a good customer, buying

that were.for sale lathe country, the masses
forgot -that pay-day would come. Money

and unfilled orders accumulating upon - the
Superintendent's books, When such a state
of facts existed there was some excgse for.
not looking at the legitimate result of a sys
tem which was based sport a false principle,
and sure to lead to ruinous results in the end.
But the war is now over, business is tune and
spiritless, iron men are l co,mplaining, cotton
and woolen nulls are stopped or running on
half time, crowds of idleinen are seen in the
streets, and now, at least, we have a right to
expect that men of all parties will look -at
-facts and listen to plain truths.
The New York Tribune, in speaking upon
this subject, says, " this country is staggering
under an enormout load of public debt. The
Federal Government owes two billiontwd a
half; the States owe large amounts; while
counties, cities, and townships, hav,e_each
their several burdens. We are payirig in the
aggregate not less than three hundred mil
lions per annum as interest on these various
debts. Altogether the taxes paid by the peer
-pie of the United States, though considerably,
reduced from the maximum they attained in
186.5-6, must probably exceed five hundred
millions per annum. Almoit everything is
taxed, from the baby's possOto the old man's
coffin—many things twice and thrice over.".
This is a statement made not by an opponent
of the party in power, but by a champion and
defender of the principal measures concocted
and carried out by that organization, and
therefore is certain to be as favoinhle as pos
sible to the party by whom th+ dcbt was con
! traeted and the taxes imposed..! Two billions
! and a half of debt rests upoutthe business of
the nation, and the nterest of this vast sum
must be met each year by abstracting
something from thel i hard earnings of the peo- 1
ple.
Time Democratic State Central Committee
of this
-State, present' the question of debt
and - taxation in an equally forcible aspect.
They declare that in 140 one dollar and six
ty cents per head were paid by the people
through the customs. In 1866, fourteen dol
lars were drawn, mainly from the consump
tion nud business .of the poorer classes,
throtigh the customs and internal revenue.
In 1860, each individual owed two dollars
and six cents of the pu bic debt ;in 1867, each
owe=s seventy-nine dollars and fifty cents
thereof. In 1860, the xpenses of the gov
ernment were sixty-tw millions; In 1867, the
Treasurer estimates them at two hundred and
twenty-five millions, independent of interest
on the debt, both being periods of peace.
Pennsylvania's sharejot" the public debt is
two hundred' and se
l enty-five millions, her
own debt thirty-five antl'a half millions, and
her county indebtedness will swell the total .
to four hundred millions. Twenty-five mil
lions annually come from the earnings of her
people to pay the interest thereon. In - 1860,
the State government cost four hundred and
two thousand dollars, whilst in - 1866 it cost
six hundred and sixty-nine thousand dollars.
This is a plain, truthful statement of the
debt and taxation now pressing upon the
business interests of the country. Do the
Radicals propose any plan to decreas4 the
debt and diminish the 'taxation? They . are
no governing .ten States of the Unidn in
Such a manner as to swell the expenses of the
national government at the rate of one hun
dred millions per year, while at the same
time the system reduces the products of that
section to a corresponding amount. The
revenues of the government are less than its
expenses, and while this, continues the debt
and taxation must increase instead of dimin
ish. These facts are readily understood by
all classes of our citizens, and they should be
pondered over at this time. As long as the
Radical party remains in power the debt
and taxation of the nation, State and city
must continue to increase. Philadelphia

A FRANK CONFESSION.
Among the more out-spoken of the Radi
cal papers in this State, there seems*to be
quite a disposition'to 'find fault with the pro
ceedings of their last State Convention for
not incorporating the negro suffrage plank
in their platform. In explanation of why it
waaleft out, the Village Record, a leading
Radical Journal, published at Wet Chester,
says:
"The subject was thoroughly discussed by
the committee on resolutions, the member of
the committee front Bucks county making
an argument in favor of the adoption of such
a resolution. The expediency of this action,
however, was decidedly opposed by Some of
the delegates from the interior, who thought
their constituents were not yet quite prepar
ed to face the music. It was suggested that
the subject would at any rate be acted upon
by Congress, as soon as the pending consti
tutional amendments would be ratified, and
that the States themselves would be relieved
of the responsibilities of fixing the qualifica
tions of citizenship in this respect. Thus it
came about that the suffrage plank was'omit
ted from our State platform."
Here is a very honest and candid confes
sion, and one that should open the eyes of
the thousands of mliite men who have here
tofore been voting with the Radicals, but
havii so often asserted that they will no long
er vote for that party when thew are con
vinced that it favors -nef.rm suffrage. It is
not because they are not in favor of negroes
voting, not because they Would keep the
ballot out of his hand, and preserve the su
periority of the white men, that their plat
form says nothing about it, but for the
simple - reason that they fear the inasseS of
their party are mot yet quite prepared to face
the music ! evidence of the progress - of
the design to secure negro suffrage. in the
North by the action of Congress, the Cincin
nati Commercial, a Conservative Republican
paper, declares that—
" Sumner says he has positive assurance of
votes enough to pas. his universal suffrage
bill next winter. He says It must be passed
before the Presidential election, to secure
the negro vote of Fenu.sylvania, New York
and Connecticut, otherwise these States will
go Democratic." -
From the facts here pri....sented it must be'
evident to the voters of Pennsylvania. that
every ballot cast for Judge Williams, and foi
Radical candidates for the Legislature, will
be a square vote for negro suffrage in this
State ! Let this fßet, therefore, be kept con
stantly in view by every citizen. Let no one
be warped by personal considerations or any
extraneous issues ; for, should Williams and
a Radical Legislature be direct—no matter
through what influences—the tact will be
broadly claimed as a triumph for universal,
or negro, suffrage, and, whether the people
protest or not, timunefri, bill will be ratified
by the Legislature and approved by Wil
liams on the Supreme Bench.
Tim Radical leaders and press declare that
Congress shall, at its next session, pass a gen
cral law extending negru,suffrage over all
the Northern States, without submitting the
question to the people at the ballot bur.
Judge Williams, their candidate for the Su
preme Court, and all their candidates for the
Legislature, stand pledged...bs support and
enforce such a bill in Pennsylvania. It is for
the people of Pennsylvania to determine, at
the election In October, whether they will
submit to be further deprised of power at
the ballot loo:, by electing the Radical can
didatet or whether they will elect the Dem
ocratic (Inundates, and thereby get back their
tail power under the Cortsruttlon.
DULL. TDIF.S. rx ,NEW Errorawn„—The
Springfield (Mass.) Republican gives dm fol
lowing rather glooniy acciunt of business
allhirs in New England :
;"The manufiscturers of the country ere not
Mitticularly active or cheeribi just now, and
the makers of knit goods are even arranging
things preparatory to a mutual stop pi ng of
work for a few weeks altogether. The ste
mulated stocks of manufactured goods do
not diminish very rapidly under the contin
ued dullness of business, and neither woolen
nor cotton manufacturers earo,to_further•

At Manchester, 'N. IL, business is almost
stagnant, though the mills are still running,
the Manchester mill and print works.at that
place having on hand over $2,000,000 worth
of unsold goods. The same inaction is pre-

the large boot and shoe nuthufacturers at
Lynn, thwerhill, and the adjacent places are

Tun Philadelphia Press, in un‘rtaking; tp
pay Mr. Stanton a compliment, relates the
folloWing :
"We do not betray confidence when we
say that on more than one occasion the coun
try has been indebted to Edwin M, Stanton
for timely note of warning that enabled the
representatives of the people to meet and
defeat the dangerous schemes of a recreant
President."
Reduced to, plain language this simply
means that Stanton has been playing the spy
upon the President's actions, attending the
Cabinet meetings and securing the secrets
thereof, and then betraying them to the Rad
ical leaders. Can anything be more contempt
ible, and any position more disgraceful ?. A
Cabinet officer acts as an informer, and then
boasts, through his'friends, of his own deg
radation.
Tim, Athens (Tenn.) Press discourses very ,
pertinently and plainly of treason and trai
toot :'
"Es: ine the newspapers and speeches of
Radicals, and listen to their conversation,
and you will find that treason consists in op
posing Radicalism, and that every man •Is a
traitor who is not a Radical. They have no
other conception of traitors or treason. You
never hear one of them charge the Conserva
tives with unfaithfulness to the Constitution,
which is in fact, the only way in which trea
son can possibly be committed. 'Show me
a man,' said Ben. Wade, 'who prates of the
Constitution, and I will show you a traitor!'
That is the spirit of the whole party. Trai
tors themselves, they endeavor to charge
their own guillupon others. It is the old
trick of the scamp with stolen goods •in his
possession, shouting 'Stop thief!' at the top
of his voice." -
Saul: shrewd -writer, who has evidently
studied the subject thoroughly, thus dis
courses upon our system of taxation :
"Now, you nee, in the first place they get
the amount of a feller's business. That is.
taxed. - Then they find nut how :much he
earns every month, and that's taxed. Then
they find out all about his profits, and that
they tax: Then they manage to get. some
tax on what he owes. Next cornea what
they call income, and that's taxed. Then if
anything is left, the preacher calls round and
gets it, to sustain the church and convert the
heathen.''
A NEW CABINET.—From the State De
partment down •to the Attorvey General, a
new Cabinet is wanted to sustain and strength

new political departure. The Cabinet under
Mr. Johnson has been a patch-work Cabinet
long enough, and, having broken ground for
a decisive reconstruction, he ought to make
of it a'clean piece of work, beginning if- not
already written, with a courteous letter, em
bracing many thanks, requesting Mr. Seward
to retire.
WE notice with pleasure the formation of
a society for the purpose of securing a change
in the system of Elections, so as to give mi:

part of 1116 nation ; yet:something very near
to• this must be the-result of.the policy of
those Radical leaden of whom Mr_ Stanton'
is the type. -. Actual political domination in
ten States Is given to tbe.nigger; and what
did he do to deserve it? From fifty to a hun
dred thousaMl 'enlisted on our side out .of
four millions, and the remainder stayed at
home and did what they could against us and
our cause in growing the corn that fill the
rebel arznies. Not a single Insurrection—not
one orglnized blow-for freedom—came frolti

years of a war that taxed the utmost ener

bonds by men - at war with the nation, and
they never added. the weight of one ' little
effort from their own side to aid the cause
whose success was to make them free. They
tamely ploughed and sowed, and meanwhile
half a million white men were maimed in the
struggle that was theirs' as well as ours. And
of such material we make voters ! Into the

while there was any one left to hold a whip
over them we tint such power that they may
become the arbiters of great political ques

and adulterate the national life by Intro
ducing into it half a million servile, semi
brutal voters—all that the supremacy of an
arrogant and dangerous faction may be se
cured and made permanent. And this, in
deed—this making of nigger voters and driv

—is the whole result of the war as Radical
leaders see:lt.
