THURSDAY, JANUARY P. ,ISGS
THE _Democratic State Central Committee
met at Harrisburg on Tuesday evening, and
decided to call the next State Convention at
that city on the 4tli of March. Previous to
the war, this day was altrays selected as the
one for our - annual State Conventions, and
sbmc of the old Democrats regard its aban
donment as_in some way connected with tam
late misfortunes. We hope the return to it
may be attended with as cheerful results as
they contemplate. The Convention will se
lect nominee for Surveyor General (the on
ly State office to be tilled this year) and four
delegates at large and two for each Congres
sional district, to represent Pennsylvania in
the National Democratic Convention.
J. 31. CIXiPEE, Esq., of the Chambersbing
Valley Spirit, a Democratic editor of twenty
years standing, an able writer and an•honest
man, is mentioned as the next Democratic
nominee for Surieyok Gera]. We have
known Mr. Cooper for malty years, and a
bett'a candidate for the position could not
be cliosen. Hon. M. Boyle, of Fayette
county, is also spoken of, He served with
distinguished ability two years ill the Legis
lature, and was President of the last Demo
cratic State Convention. Although, still a
young Man, Mr. Boyle has risen to a high
place in public esteem, and has a. career of
much • premise before him. With either
Cooper or Boyle the party would have a
nominee'worthy of its most zealous support.

The 'Legislature of Pennsylvania assem
bled at Harrisburg on Tuesday, - in accord
ance with the - inovisions of the Constitution:
The Senate consists of 19 Radicals and 14
Democrats; the House of 54 Radicals and 46
Democrats: In the Senate an organization
was promptly effected by the election of Jas.
L. Graham, of Allegheny county, as Speaker,
The Democrats supported MU,. Wm. A.
%Wallace, of Clearfield. F. 11. Braggins, of
the Greenville Argils, was chosen one of the
Assistant Clerks, and W. A. Rupert, of the
Conneautville Record, Sergeant-at-Aims.
In the House, an 'unexpected hitch occur
red, which promises to throw Radicalism in
to convulsions for some time to come. The
Radical nominee for Speaker, is Elisha W.
Davis, formerly of Venango county-, but now
of Philadelphia. Niue Radicals, seeing that
his nomination was a foregone conclusion,
refused to enter the caucus, charging that
Davis is thesight hand man of the Pennsyl
vania R. R. Co., and an enemy to a free-rail
-road law. flu the ballot being taken in the,
House, Richmond 2L. &met:, of Berks, the
Democratic nominee, received 46 votes; Mr.
Davis 45; and the nine dissatisfied Radicals
voted for MesSei. MeCamant and Ewing.—
The, bolters threaten to hold - out until the par
ty select another candidate, and if they per
severe in thetr declaration, it - may be some
weeks until the House is organized. The
following are the plucky gentlemen referred
to: Armstrong. of Lancaster; Espy; of Craw
ford ; MeCamant, of Blair; Richards, of Ful

Huntingdon,: and Eckert, Riddle an Smith, -

- TnE monthly statement of the • Federal
Treasury shows that the outgoes for Decem
ber were, in round numbers, as follows:
Interest on Debt $8,300,000 Army $12,953,000
Civil and Mieers 4,761,000 Navy 3,620,000
Interior; Pensions,
Indiana 985,000 Total $30,031,000
This is at the rate of $30,000,000 per an
num, or very nearly $1,000,000 per day. A
large part of it consists of Interest on Debt
and Pensions which cannot be reduced—
which is morally certain to be increased—so
that redactions and retrenchments are posai : .
Bible only on the remaining items—say on'
$240,000,000 per annum'. The general ex
pectation is that the total annual imtgoes
may and will be reduced to $300,000,000 per
annum, including Pensions and Public Debt;
which involves a cutting down of $60,000,000,
or fully I:cc/ay-lire per cent., on the Current
e - spenditure capable of reduction. We have
little hopes, however, that even this corn
- paratively small 911121 will be saved, until a
change is made in the political majority of
Congress.

DEPRE : SIYORICIOTI.TB OP THIS "LLD..
VITAL POLICY.
We have frequently adverted to the fact
that in nearly every department of American
industry we have beconie unable to compete
with foreign nations in markets abroad, ex
cept in one or two articles, like petroleum
and sewing machines. Even the home mar
ket for our own products is seriously inter
fered with by those countries, who, with the
advantages of - cheaper capital, also possess
the benefit of untaxed raw materials.
Mr. Wells, special Commissioner of Reve
nue, says in his last report that the " foreign
commerce of the United States is being, as it
were, swept from the ocean, and it is report
ed to the Commissioner by experienced ship
owners of New York that no voyage of an
Americanlyessel seat' be planned from the
United States to any foreign port, with the
reasonable expectation of profit. 7 The offi
cial returns show that the amount of Ameri
can registered tonnage engaged in foreign
trade decreased ,in five years over fifty per
cent. In 1853 the tonnage of the United
States was about 15 per cent. in excess of that
of Great Britain, while at the present time it
is estimated to be 33 per cent. less. Our coast
zwise and inland commerce hits also greatly
decreased. Of the one hundred and ninety-.
one American vessels ,engaged in the Brazil
ian or South American trade in 1861 and '62,
but thirty are reported- as remaining, while
the number of foreign vessels engaged in the
same trade has, in the same time, increased
nearly three-fold. Instead of building ships,
as formerly, this branch of business has been
transferred from the Atlantic coast of the
United States to the British provinces. Ships
,costing a hundred dollars a ton to build and
equip for the sea at New York, east but forty
dollars a ton in gold to build and equip in the
British provinces.
As to manufactures, even in Massachu
setts, it can be shown that they are tailing, or
fallen; under the miserable system of Radical
legislation. As to this we find the following
statement in -a New York paper : "Facto
ries, which cost originally half a million of
money, and would have brought a million
when busily- engaged in producing hlankets
for the use of the soldiers in the field, from
the coarse wool supplied abundantly-by Can
ada, are now being knocked down under the
auctioneer's Inannur for little more than a
hundred thousand' dollars ; while in wool
growing Vermont,, the farmer who sold his
finer grades for hey - Only -five cents per pound
in 1865, is now with difficulty disposing of .
the same qualities for twenty-five and thirty.
cents per pound. And this is no fancy sketch,
for the writer of this article has, within a
week, been shown the actual BostOn 'account
of sales' at twenty-eight cents, when wool,
clipped front the .8111 P flocks in 1865, realized
sevc•ntv4no cents at the grower's very door."
While such k the condition of the leading
interests of the nation, what is Congress do
ing to afford relief to bustne,i men? Are
they curtailing expenses, reducing taxes, di
minishing office-holders? Is the army being
contracted? Are the thousands of idle ue•
groes, ntiw fed and clothed at the expense of
the white laboring men of the North, forced
to earn their own living, and at the same time
support their families? Are leading Radicals
earnestly engaged in perfecting a system of
internal taxation which will bear with lighter
hand upon all the industrial interests of the
country ? Are laws proposed by the opera
tion, of which the ten States now about
passing limier the rule of negroes, wilLbe
rescued from that degradation,' and once
more placed in a condition to add to the
li•~ahh of the nation? In a word, isCongress
legislating for the country, and those interests
which are imperiled, or is it bending all its
energies to hold possession of political power
at the coming Presidential election?
THE RADICAL grAsneny.
What do the,Radicals propose to do? If in
their madness they continue to cling to the •
policy of Steven=, Wade, Sumner, Boutwell,
and the more " advanced" of. their party,
they are as ,sac to sink under a burden of
infinity as the sun is sure to rise and set. If
they abandon their leadeis, and attempt to
crawfish out of the difficulties in which their
superlative follies pave involved them, by
pretending tu- have become conservative, they
virtually abandon everything that has hith
erto held them together and lose all that re
mains of their former vitality. With them, -
" to be, or not to he," is the only question.
Which horn of the dilemma they will lay
hold of no mortal can at present predict. It
is amusing_jo witness the attempt of the
friends of Salmon P. Chase to make it out
that he has all along been distinguished for
his.conservatism, when it is known all over
the world that a more intense and unsentpu
lons Radical does not exist on earth. And it
is an amusing concession on the Part of thC
ultraists, to take Grant as their candidate for
the Presidency, when the wisest among theM
have no knowledge of his political principles.
This only proves that their game of fraud
and deception is so far played out, that they
are ready itnd Willing, to assume some new
disguise, and take some new name. 'What
their next dodge will be, time _alone can re
veal.
•" REPUDIATION,"
The Republican papers are abusing the
Democrats of Ohio for proposing to pay off
the funded debt of the ttountry in h.gal ten
ders. This is called " repudiation," the " sac
rifice of the National credit," and other hard
names; but it is not half :is had, if had at all,
as the measures that the Radicals have al
ready indorsed and forced upon the country.
Who made legal tenders good payment for
debts incurred in gold and silver, thus legal-.
izing the repudiation of private contracts?
Who compelled the creditor to accept a de
preciated currency for his demand, giving
him oftentimes only fifty cents on the dollar?
If the Americailjpeople are to sutler the name
of repudiators„ the stigma has already at
tached. The public debt wiLi incurred in
greenbacks t why should it not be paid in
greenbacks'' It was contracted when gold
was two hundred and eighty ; objection Can
hardly lw made to its payment now that gold
is one hundred and forty. If the Radicals
can point to any law guaranteeing the pay
ment of the public debt in gold, they need
not hunt so fa: as they do at present for their
arguments. If there is no such law there is
no such obligation ; expressed or implied to
repay other money than that loaned. But
in any event, a simple way of avoiding all
musuion is to buy up the bonds in open mar
ket.
WHAT THE AE,Ort./4. - ARE TAXED
In addition t( township, municipal, coun
ty and State Nation, the people are taxed—
1. For ilatiOnal purposes,indirectly through
high protective tariff, and directly through
lieea r, income 'taxes, Sc.
They are taxed to ft et! all the worthless,
lag-about! negroes iu the South who are -too
lazy to Work. --
3. They are taxed to pay the interest on
the bondholder's exempted bonds. They not
only 'lay their own part but the govenunent
makes them pay the lendholder's tax'
a. 'rhey are tared to keep up a large ettanti
in arnsv in the South, ru that the people
Toren there can have the glorious privilege a
wing under a military Government.
5. They arc taxed to give employment to
a horde of Radicals in the shape of Bureau
agent., &r., more .ervires are 01 no good
If the people are anxious to continue this
glorious privilege of taxation, let them con:
time the Radical party in power.

ICAL LEADM. • .
"The trouble With the Tribune:ls, that 'it
alWaya manages to be at variance with the
wishes of the leaders of the Republican par
ty." An eminent Republidan makes .this
criticism upon the article we saw proper to
write in reference, to the removal of General
Pope. We make 11-113 xePIS
—The only thing we have ever known to
achieve popularity and constantly retain it, is
The Weathercock. There is as much peril
in inconsistency as consistency. When a
man speaks of "the leaders" of a party, he is
generally found to mean himself. Who are
the "leaders" of the party ? Let us go to Con
gress. Mr. Bingham is a leader.. Suppose
We follow him. Here we are high and dry,
stamping our fbet at Impeachment, and de
nouncing it as a crime. Mr. Stevens Is a
leader, and yet we find him demandifig_lrn
peachment and Confiscation. What leader
shall we follow ? We may go East, or West,
but we =Mot go both ways at once. Mr.
Sherman is a "leader" on financial questions.
We find ourselves insisting that the bonds
shall be paid in gold, and happy we- are that
it is sp. But look ! Yonder is the orithimme
of Butler! He demands the payment of
bonds in currency. Gen. Butler is - a
leader
also—but which banner is the right one? We
enter the Senate and greet those two worthy
Republicans, Grimes and Cameron. "Good
friends,, we come to you for counsel ! You
are leaders of the Republican party. We
were once independent, but, seeing our er
ror, we uesire to -follow you and be vise.
What shall we do on the tariff question?"
"Accept protection," says Cameron. "De
mand free trade," shouts Grimes. We can
not do both, and here we ate, all is a heap,
and a.s far'from knowing our duty us before.
UORACE onowk FUNNY ON TOE ORANT ger.s-
EMI
- Well, now say the "leaders," we must have
Gen. Grant. On this point there is a great
ado. "Grant"—"Grant"—"Grant," they shout,
and toss their' cups in the air.- We have sev
eral respectable members of the wagon-load
of rich man-which Mr. Weed once drove to
Philadelphia, together with ntanv factors and
jobbers, wholsale, retail, and on commission,
and numerous soldiers, and about ten thou
sand candidates for the vice Presidency, abo
Montgomery Blair and Daniel E. Sickles.
They insist that Grant shall be made the im
mediate and unopposed candidate of 'the Re
publican party. We venture to ask the rea
son. Here we stand 'i-ith hat in hand, ready
to shout, and only too happy to, find some
thing to shout over. What is the reason of
the httrrah business? "Well," says one,
"Grant is a soldier." 'Good," we reply;
"three cheers for Grant, The Soldier, the
great soldier of tht war." And so we go on
cheering for Sheridan and Sickles. ana Pope
:met _Meade. Sherman and Thomas, and for
the whole Army Register,, so great is our en
thusiasm. But we cannot make the whole
Army Register Presidents, and on that list
one titan is as: good as another. Thus the
"soldier" reason falls. If our candidate is to
have only so fruity stars 'and buttons, let us
drop twenty names in a hat and draw. We
want a statesman ; we desire 'Chief Justice.
Chase. The party contains no purer, no
worthier, no more gifted man. In what re
spect does Gen: Grant surpass Mr. Chase?
"Is he a better Republican'" "Yes," cries
Gen. Sickles. "No," says Mr. Blair. Re
publieanism -is easily proved. ,We turn from
Gen. Sickles and Mr. Blair, and ask Gen,
Grant. 'No reply. 'lf we want to talk about
horses or tobacco, we may fund him the most
voluble of ,men. 'Not one word upon the
nuestion that racks the heart of the country !
"Take me if you will, as Ulysses S. Grant,.
General, and when I am President I shall do
as I please." Perhaps we must . take hum,
but we do not feel like cheering over it ; cer
tainly not so long as great statesmen remain
in our ranks, "Give us Grant, because we
can elect him." Again that cowardly argu
ment, Friends, br there nothing in thisgreat,
party but office-hunger? Ls the chief end of
man the post office and revenue service?'
Are we willing to follow a doubtful leader
into an uncertain battle for unknown princi
ples?
ANDY Tilt: WIN:II:tit; 11.0:1)
The game goes on—the President winning
'all the time. Nor do we fail to. see that the:
power which strengthens hint is that of Gen.
Grant. There is no use of concealing or
avoiding this filet. 'Gen. Grant is an instru
ment of Mr: Johnson's.will. We believe he
is so unwillingly: but the country does not
consider that. The people only see their
General in the War Office. All the moral
influence that clusters around the illustrious
name of Grant is an element of power to
Mr. Johnson.
JOB'S PATIENCE AT A DISCOUNT
We'have a considerable number of Repub
licans who would have tried the patience of
Job. If the current is all running our,way,
they excuse themselves from doing anything,
because (they lay) it is not necessary to work
—all is righl. anyhow. -If the current sets
apinst us, they will do nothing, because
(they say) it IS iao use—work will not avail—
we must be b4tcn anyhow.

asserted. Months ago their journals used to
deny the charge indignantly. They told us

mere partisan purpose to prOlong their party
ascendancy was the sole and only aim of all
their measures. We have to thank the New

plain confession of the truth of the matter.
Says that paper:
"The Radicals in the Republican party in

as to give assurance that their votes will be

that, as the ten .Sonthern States have been
Africanized in all but names, that they also
receive Afrkau names—that in referring to
them, INC shall be watlt: of the geographical
nomenclature of Africa.; Blot out the glo
rious and precious names of Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana' and
Texas from our amps and statutes, and write

, TnE Nashville Republican Thinner, says :
"A private letter to a gentleman to this city
reports the following significant conversation
between the President and General Grant.
It occurred in the Executive office last Tues
day. We give it verbatim: "President—
" Well, General, the Radicids are making
some pretty high bids for you ?'' "Grant—
" Are they ?" (Puff! puff!) President—" Yes,
they almost beat the Democrats." Grant—
Smile. (Puff! puff!) President—" What do
you think about it?". Grant—'+l think this is
the poorest cigar I ever smoked." (Puff!
puff!) Exit Grant;'
WII#T We did in Illinois at the late elec
tion may be ascertained by consulting the
following table of returns from sixty-eight
out of the one hundred and two counties in
the State: . )
Radical majority of 136 .
Radical majority in 68 counties in

Democratic gain in 68 counties in

GENERAL GRANT estimates the expenses
of the army -for the coining fiscal- year at
seventy l sefen - railliinis-of dollars. Under
the rule of the Demikratic party that amount
would have been sufficient to meet the whole
expenses of the government. - -Now it Intie4y
suffices to pay those of the artny alone.' This
is the difference - between Democratic and
Radical government. Seventy-seven mil
lions are to be taken from the labor and in
dustry of the nation at this time, when all
classes are weighed down with taxes, to aid
in forcing negro rule upon white men. Re
store the Southern States to their old relations
With the Federal government, anti the army
can be reduced at once, and with that reduc
lion will come a diminution in military ex
penses. But this course the. Radicals will
not pursue. They are employed in organiz
ing the Southern negroes fox: the coming
Presidential campaign; and White men, most

TilE Democrats of Rockport, N. Y.,'have
leased a suit of commodious rooms in which
files of the leading papers'. from all parts of
the country arc kept.. The rooms arc opened
and Farmed daily, and are well lighted in
the evening. The walls are hung with por
traits of the leading Democrats of the coun
try, and the whole place suggestive of com
fort and case. This, is a move in the right
'direction, antrdeserveslo be imitated in all
parts of the 'Country. Enterprises of this
character will show their influence and
power when the next election is-held. • .
REPUBLICANR 1010 are scolding:at "heavy

lighten thern is to restore the-Southern States
to their proper condition, so that their Maus;

not "make .brick without strait" There is
every prospect of a hard winter for North

profitable one, if the Rulicalsjtad not de

will be just as heavy as if times were good.
As old negro man of Washington Co., Va.,
was pursued by a white Radical for voting
the Conservative ticket. The Red String in
sisted that the old map's real principles were
the same as those of Radical party. "No,
sir," replied the worthy old freedman. "You
is mistaken—dais .a wide difference 'tween
us. • Dese white Radicals is white men wid
black insides, and I is a blitck• man wid
white insides. I)at's the difference."
Maxon HoPmcc, of New York, in a
speech before the "New England dinner,"
said that "Whenever went into u New
England church he hoard a remarkable mix
ture of politics and piety, and when hi. at
tended a New England dinner he found an
equally remarkable mixture of politics and
pastry. He could stand the play and pastry,
but he generally found the politics indigesti
ble."
STANTON wants his case made a test one,
so as to "'rebuke President Johnson for un
warrantable assumption of power." Of which
the Springfield Republican says: "Mr:Stan
ton has himself been so notoriously scrupt
lcius not to assume a particle of power that
_was not legally conferred on him, that he is
naturally very emx:44ll, fo audi tarztooption
on. the part of Mr. JOhuson."
IN compli;ince with the request of several
members of the National Democratic' Corn
inittee, Mr. Belmont,Chairman, authorizes the
announcement of the meeting of the Com
mittee in Washington, on the 22d of Februa

be designated as the place: for holding the

are being made by riVal western cities.

LAKE DISASTERS T 2 1867
The Detroit Advertiser has a statement Of
casualties which have occurred on the lakeS
- during the past season of navigation. The
total number far exceeds any former year.
Instances of vessels having grounded' at
various . points where the expense of getting
calms varied from tslo to $3O, and number

importance, have been put posely omitted,and
with those recited, swell the grand total of
the disasters for the . season of 1897 to 931. Sev
en propellers have been_ lost, while twenty
three grain vessels have passed out of ex

which were engaged exclusively in the lum

NEW VESSELS ON ,THE LAKES
The Detroit Tribune gays that during the
reit year one 'hundred and • seventy-three
new vessels of all clatiies went into commis-
Mon oh the lakes. Of this number eight
were sidewheel steamers, thirty-six propel
lers, thirteen tugs, twent-fire. barques, one
brig, and ninety-4N. schooneis.
I=
The usual summary of the Lake trade of
Ws - port for the year 1867 is furnished by
the Collector, from which we learn that there
were imported' from Canada 509,650 lath,
4,863,560 feet of lumber, 11,672 tone of iron
ore, and 325,500 shingles, besides a variety of,
articles on a sinall scale unnecessary to eau-,
nitrate. The imports from points in. the
Union embraced 20,300 bushels ,of barley,
28,551 bushel., of coin, 68,306 tons of-iron
ore, 3,500 tons of iron. liars, 409,050 lath,
1,371,091 feet of lumber,. 23,372 barrels of
salt, 0,875 barrels of water lime, and 91,040
bushels of wheat, ,with the average amount
of articles and provisions on a lesser scale.
We exported-31,7 75 tons of coal to Canada
and 294,760 to American ports, and among
the coastwise- exports are 2,896,112 feet of
lumber, 95,000 'staves, 11,260 shooks, and
1,534 stoves- The number of vess:els which
entered during the season was 1,090, and
cleared 1,055. In 1866,the number was only 1,-
935 in all, showing an increase or2lo. This,
however, does not give a fair exhibit of the in
creased carrying capacity of the 'commerce
at our port, for the reason that a much larg
er class of vessels have traded here the past
year, the channel being deeper and the facil
ities for discharging and taking on cargo bk
ing better than in 1800. It is encouraging
for those who take an interest in the com
mercial prosperity of, Erie to know that the
tonnage' of vessels owned here is greater
than ever before.
•
The canal during the year brought to the
city 124,763 tons :of coal, 173,000 staves and
1.000,000 feet of umber; and took into the
interior 42,432 tons of iron ore, 968 tons of
limestone, 410 tons of plaster, and 3,40,000
feet of lumber, the number : of arrivals and
clearances being 1;956. The receipts-of. the
canal company from tolls were 4114,000 and
`the expenditUres $104,500; ';ltow - ing that in
proportion to the amount ollmsiness doto,it Is
'anything hnt profitable. - Owing to the .
strike among the miners and other , causes,
the business ih 1807" was not equal to - that of
some other seasons. .

proved and in the highest state of cultivation.
The land is equal to the very best in that section
of the county. The buildings comprise a 2 sto
ry (mine house with 114 story kitchen and good
cellar under the whole; wood house and work
house; 2 barns, each 30ec45 feet ; a shed 70 feet
long with stable at the end; and all the necessa
ry outbuildings. A first class well of soft water,
which never fails , is at the kitchen door. There
is an orehard with 140 apple.trees, all grafted,
and bearing; and an abundance of almost every
other kind of fruit grown in this neighborhood.
The only reason why I wish to sell Is that I mu
going West to embark in another occupation.
