DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET
AIDITOB. GENERAL.
CRAS. ,E. BOYLE, of Fayette Co.
fiIJAVEYOR astmrem.,
W. H. ENT, of Columbia Co
Tim Rhode Island election on the Ist inst.,
resulted In a Radical majority of about
4,100, which the Dispatch styles "another
gun for impeachment." As the same party
had a majority of 5,381 in 181307-4 loss of
1,200 in two years—it strikes us that the gun
must be somewhat cracked at the breach,
and will soon have to be laid. aside as worth
less.
Ai election for Governor and other State
I will be held in Connecticut. on Mon
day next. The vote last year was 47,575
Democratic and Aries Radical, a Democratic
majority of Q90.--not nineteen hundred and
ninety, as stated by the Dispatch on Thurs
day morning. Parties' in that State are so
evenly balanced that the annual politiCal con
tests are waged with a vigor rarely equalled,
and in the present Instance each side 13 con
fident 01 succ e ss.
IN the Radkrid county of Allegheny, which
gives from eight to ten thousand majority for
" equal rights for all men," a negro named
Vashon was last week refused admission to
the bar, on the sole ground that 'his skin is
not white.• The case has, been under arg,u
several months, and the Radicals
,ted hard to get Vashon to withdraw his ap
plication, 'but - he stood upon his dignity as
" a man and a brother," and utterly refused
to make any compromise. Thus we have
another instance of the beautiful consistency
of Radicalism—making the negro the ruling
'race in the South, anti refusing him the
common rights of citizens in the North
THE State Legislature has passed . an
act•popularly known as the "Free Railroad
law," which permits any number of citizens
not less than nine in number, to form a com
pany to construct and operate a new rail
road, or to maintain and operate any incor
porated railroad already constructed. Cer
tain c •! I are prescribed, such as that
111..1 slock shall not be less than at the
Of mow for every mile constructed, or
proposed to be constructed, and the compan
ies will be subject to all the restrictions and
"liabilities of the acts that now regulate rail
way incorporations. The proposed railroads
must be opened and toady for use within a
specified time,_and in all cases must be
opened for use when fifty miles of track are
laid. Compliance with t the conditions en
titles the companies to all the rights and
priviliges now extended to similar corpora
tions, and the design of the law is top) away
with special charters.
- —Since writing the above, we learn that
Gov. Geary has vetoed the bill, on the
groutuls rt.o, :,1 its present shape, it is not
1,13 to the people of
,the State ; that
I, ." of doubtful constitutionality in legislat
ing on more than one subject, and that it
confers on companies, already incorporated
the privilege of indefinitely increasing their
capital stock—a power which might become
dangerous. After the pledges made by the
Governor in favor of a Free Railroad Law,
his course is anything hut creditable.
A SIGNIFICANT APPOINTMENT.
The selection of Maj. Gen. Hancock as
commander of the Military Division of the
Atlantic, embracing Ohio, Michigan,lndiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and the
Distri , t C...lllmbia, has More significance
... Appears upon the surface,and has set the
Radical mischief mkkers in a terrible state
of excitement, between their fears and their
fright. Hancock is admittedly the ablest of
- neer in the army ; his personal and moral
courage are unquestioned ; he is a staunch
and consistent Democrat ; and his past re
cord is proof sufficient that he will flinch from
no resjonsibility which the revolutionary
condition of the times may render necessary.
The appointment of this heroic officer to the
command of the Northern States, taken in
connection with the transfer of Gen. Gordon
Granger, another friend of the President's, to
the immediate command of Washington,
looks as if the President is preparing for
• whatever w i4. - -ney the Radicals mak force
and indicates a determination to
.astain the prerogatives of his office at every
hazard. The Radicals have strained every
effort to render him defenceless, in order that
they may have no barrier to restrain their
partizan purposes, but if it shall he found that
he has check-mated them, the country will
cry "well done," and rally to his support with
an alaCrity equalling the first yetirs of the war.
FEW people are aware of the efforts being
made by the bondholding aristocracy of the
country to control the next Presidential elec
ktion. At a meeting recently held in New
York city, it was proposed to raise and give
to Gineral ftrant $500,000, to compensate
him for r , s';:nirg his position in the army,
tt i,tcoining the bondholders' ea didate for
the Presidency. Offers have rece tly been
made, hrough advertising agencies to Dem
ocratic newspapers, of thirty to t sixt • cents a
line for the publication of editorial art les in
their columns in opposition to paying the
bonds in greenbacks.
The greenback policy is the great ques
tion in the approaching Presidential election.
It is a contest between the taxpayers and
bondholders, in which the taxpayers inust
make themselves tree, or have the .chains of
slavery permanently fastened about them.
In the approaching contest reconstruction,
negroes, h yalty, military renown, &c., will
be taken about by windy orators, and written
about by new paper editors, but these are
only ,•,-•, cp to hide the real issue from
• that the voting maxsea may be
made the inqtuonentalitieß of their • own op-

AN ALARMING FACT
It is now satisfactorily ascertained, to the
alarm of all reflecting citizens, that the In
ternal Revenue for the year 1863 will fall far
short of the lowest of the official estimates.
Commissioner Wells estimated them at $275,,
000,000; Mr. Hollins at $225,000,000 andpec
retail. McCulloch - at *59,000,000. The re
ceipts, which have more than once attained
$4,000,000 in one day, often ran from $1,000,-
000 to $3,000,000, and for weeks and months
even have rre , erved a daily average of
,s,r: one day last week, they fell
ezou,ooo—to the lowest sum yet re
coriled on the books of that office. The total
inland revenue thus fur- this year is abont
$13.5,W,000 ; and there are only one hurt
drcd revenue days or so remaining. It be
comes easy from this to predict the limit
which the expeeistions of our public finance
officers °ugh'. u•.:sonably to teach.
This deereive of revenue is attributed to
the Calling e 9• in business and consequent de
crease of profits, growing out of the prolongs
tion of disunion and the Rudical,system of
tariffs and taxation incident to the Congr
ion al usurpation policy.
Tilt impel once entertained that there
were Senators who would rise above allegi
ance to party. are fast disappearing. An
nv-, vb. 7n:satire has been brought to
ikear upon um Senators suspected of having
any colloid-ice. A Senator, who three weeks
since violently opposed impeachment, is now
in the Radical b•ad, So c otilitieut are the
managers or the conviction of tee President,
that the 3 impudently e, sett they will close
lithe case within a week.,
THE WAY T/MC E O E VITILY IS Mls.
Senator 13nekalew, of - this State, in his
late speech, stated some fact% worthy the tit- •
tention of the American people. At the last
popular elections held in the Northern, Cen
tral and Western, States, 2,184,554 votes were
cast in raver of the Republican party; and
2,190,169 votes were cast for the Democratic
party. How are the people who thus repre
sent themselves represented in the. Rump
Congress? According to a rule of equality
ba.sed'On numbers the Republican majority in
the Senate should ltave 28 members; anti the
minority 26. Now the actual constitution of
the Senate is this-43. Republicans and 10
Democrats. In the House, despite an equal
share in the vote of the country, the Repels- '
liens outnumber the Democrats by about
four to one. What are the causes of this
condition of the representation ? The six
States cast of the Hudson have an aggregate
Population, according to the census of 1860,
of 3,135,283, with twelve members of the Sen
ate, giving a Senator to each-261,278 inhabi
tants. Take all the States of the Union rep
resented in Congress, and -there is a popula
tion of 444,972 for each senator. New Eng
land- has six members of the Senate more
than she would be entitled to if there were a
distribution to the different sections of the
country according to number. •
In 1864, when Mr. Lincoln was taking
steps to re-organize States in the SOuth, a re
vival of the former political power in that
section was feared. The Radicals introduced
bills into the Senate, which were enacted,
providing for the organization of Nevada,
Nebraska and Colorado. The unprecedented
pro Visions were incorporated in these bills
that the organization of State governments
should be carried on to the end under -the
constitutional directions of the President,
and that he should, by proclamation, declare
those Territories admitted, without any furth
er action by Congress. It was not required
that the proceedings should be completed
and the constitutions laid before the two
Houses, and an act of admission then passed,
as hedbeen the previous practice. Radical
political power was aimed at and obtained
unscrupulously. Colorado is not yet admit
ted; doubtless she soou-will tle ; but Nevada
and Nebraska contribute four\ of the unfair
Republican majority in the Senate. Yet N
ebraska, at her last election, had. a total vote of
less than 9,ooo—Colorado less than 10,000—
Nevada less than lopoo. In n ither one of
these States is there a population of woo,
which is half the Timber reifilired,under the
existing apportionment law, for a member of
Congress.
This is what the Radicals h '-e done to in
crease their power in the :aanate, and give
themselves a- two-thirds vot for over-riding
vetoes. See what they h/ - omitted to do.
They have omitted to v. ss enabling actS for
any other Of the Western Territories, either
in 1864 or subsequently. In Nen' Mexico, at
the last election, a vote of 17,685 was cast;
in Montana a vote of 10,900 ; in Utah a vote
of 16,281; in Idaho about the same. Each
of these Territories has a' larger population
than the two which were admitted or than
the third which was attempted to be admit
ted. Utah has a population more than double
that of either of them ; so has New Mexico.
Why the difference? Those States which
were admitted,- and admitted in the manner
described, gave Republican majorities; those
Territories which have not been admitted
gave Democratic `-fnajorities. That is the
whole reason. Nor was this enough. Mr.
Stockton, elected a Senator from New Jer
sev,was expelled tinder the form of a deci
sion upon the irregularity of his election—
expelled by a party vote of the majority.
Several members were expelled from the
House, Baldwin, of Michigan; Brooks, of
New York ; Voorhies, of Indiana—expelled
by a party vote fiir that reason and for no
other reason. The reconstructed recon
struction policy has the same purposes—
moves to the same result—political powerot
any cost. It is proposed by a political parly
to shape the political - institutions in ten of
the United States so that its power shall be
increased in both Houses ; or if disaster be
falls them in the North, that their" power in
both Houses shall be retained for the future..
THE JEWS AND GEN. GRANT.
Whatever may be tlni popular disposition
towards Gen. Grant, it is very certain that
there is ..one class of citizens who will not
render him much support, if indeed, they do
not oppose his election to the utmost of their
energy. We refer to the Hebrew portion of
our population, who, sneer at them as some
may, have grown to be a large and influen
tial denomination, possessing more wealth
and wielding more power than the same
number of persons in any other sect in the
Country. The "Israelite," their We , tern or
gan, revives Grant's well known order of
1862, as given below, and has followed it up
with several caustic' editorials, calling upon
the Jews throughout ,the nation to express
their condemnation of its author at the polls
in November:
HEADQUARTERS' 13111 ARMY CORPS,
DEPT. OF Triy. Twair.ssrz i
OXFORD, Miss., Deg.. 17, 1862. )
General Order .No. 11.
The Jews, as' a class. violating every regu
lation of trade established by the Treasury
Department, also department orders, are
hereby expelled from the department within
24 hours from the receiptbf this order‘by post
commanders.
They - will see that all this class of people
are furnished with passes and required to
leave; and any one returning after such no
tification will be arrested and .held in con
finement until an opportunity occurs of send
ing them out as prisoners, unless furnished
With permits from these headquarters.
No passes will be given this people to visit
headquarters for the purpose — of making per
sonal application for trade permits.
By order of Maj. Gen. Grant,
JOHN A. Ittwuzio,
Astil9timfAdjutant General.
IfWill be remembered that when this order
was issued it caused a general outcry
throughout the country. .31r. Pendleton in
troduced in the House a preamble declaring
the order tyrannical, cruel andillegal, closing
with the resolution, "that the said order de
serves the earnest condemnation of this
House, and of the President as Commander
in-Chief." This was lost in the Heusi.; but
only be&tuse nobody paid any attention to it,
and the order had been revoked previously.
The vote, after all, was a very close one; 56
voted to table and 53 to pass it ; two more
votes would have done it. Among those
voting for:the resolution were, besides other
Republicans, also Mr. Colfax, the privent
Speaker of the House, Mr. Low, of St. Louis,
and other - prominent members of that party.
The order No. 11 fell most savagely upon
the old Jewish residents in that department ;
but there was no Senator from those States
in Washington, except from Kentucky.
Therefore, Senator Powell, from Kentucky,
in behalf of his outraged constituents, intro
duced iu substance the same preamble and
resolution in the Senate. where it was de
feated in the most sharnefill manner, but sev
en Senators, viz : Messrs. Davis, Harding,
Latham, Nesmith, Powell, - S!aulsbury, and
Wilson, of Missouri, having the moral cour
age and mot-al rectitude to stand by an out
raged el mss ol their tidlow-citizens.
President I,iocoln could not persuade him:.
self for a long time that Gen. Grant issued
that order; but when Mr. Haskell, of Ky.,
succeelled - in convincing him of the fret, he
immea)tely revoked it, and expressed his In:
dignaiittu at the outrage in the strongest
temp, in presence of Messrs Gurley, Lilien
thal, mill Wise, front Cincinnati, and Bijnr,
from Louisville. The article In the Israelite
chasm as' follows:
"Wejtave to say this: As a Jew, we can
not and will not vote for a man who has dune
Its a more shameless injustice than any man
in power, in this century, has done in any
civilized country. Therefore, we hope and
expect that the entire Jewish press wilt come
out boldly and justly against the movement.
to nominate General Grant as President of
the United Suttee
THE lIMPEACIIMUST
Chief Justice CASs' Asserts his Melts.
The Radical !Conspirator. Theo:Wiz luta
Consternatioh.
. In accordance with the order previously .
adopted, the regular proceedings of the Im
peachment trial commenced on Monday. At
half past 12 o'clock, the Chief Justice took
the chair of the Presiding officer, and the
managers and members of the House entered
the Senate. All parts 'of the galleries were
crowded, excepting the Diplomatic Depart
ment ; few of the representatives of foreign
governments attend, regarding it as disre
spectful to the Chief Magistrate of the na
tion to be present at the proceedings con
ceived in and conducted by partrsipite and
hatred. 'B. P. Butler, one of the House man
agers, made the )ening speeeLoccupying
about three ho i its - delivery. It was a
mere rehash of Baulked campaign editorials
and speeches, ntainlpg nothing worthy of ,
the oce 'on, and c neeiyed in a. spirit of
party hatred and penal enge thatclear
i,
ly betrayed the im lase to e whole pro.
ceedings. When he had co uded, Mr.
Wilson, on the part of the House, presented
the oath of office taken by President John
son; President Lincoln's nomination of
Stanton for Secretary of War, and the Sen
ate's ratification of the same ; and a copy of
the communication made to the Senate De
cember 12, 1897, by President Johnson, as
signing his reasons for the suspension of
Stanton as Secretary of War. The Court
then adjourned to Tuesday, and the Senate
commenced its regular business.'
A curious scene occurred during Butler's
speech. About two o'clock' the ladies in
the gallery, by common consent, commenced
on their lunches, which they evidently en
joyed much more than the rant of the hero
of New Orleans. Long before" Butler con
cluded, the galleries were thinned out and
most of the members of the
,House retired
from the chamber.
When the proceedings opened on Tuesday
the galleries Were only half full, a fact that
shows the rapid manner in w 'doh the public
interest in the trial is decreasing. Mr. Wil
son 'offered in testimony a copy of President
Lincoln's commission to Stanton,- " under
which only," he admitted, the latter claims
to hold the War office'. Proof that - the Pres
ident had been notified of the Senate's non
currence in Stanton's removal, and of the
summons upon Gen. Thomas, r from the Dis
trict Court, was furnished. A clerk in the
Treasury department testified that after the
passage of the Tenure-of-office act, a change
in the torm of appointments to public posi
tion was made, striking out the words, "du
ring the pleasure: of the President for the
time being." .
Mr. Burt Van Horn, of 310., swore that he
was at the War office when Thomas made a
demand of Stanton for possession. Stanton
ordered Thomas to repair to his room and
perform his duties as AsSistant Adjutant Gen
eral, which the latter refused to do, saying
that he. intended to exercise the functions
of Secretary of War, and would receive the
mails of the Department Stanton told him
he would do so at his peril. •
Mr. Burleigh, of Dakota, was being exam
ined as to the conversation he heard between
Stanton and Thomas, when Mr. Stanbery,
one of the President's counsel, asked to
knbw the object of the testimony. Butler re
plied that , it was to show Thomas' purpose to
take the War Department by force, when
Mr. Staithery,objected to the examination,
and was sustained by the Chief Justice. Sen
ator Drake, of Mo., deified Mr. Chase's right
to decide the point, and was met bY a respo
from the latter that it was his "duty so to
rule." Drake claimed that "there is nothing
to give the Chief Justice that right;' and was
called to order by Senator Johnson. The
Chief Justice said he was delegated by the
Constitution to presili over the court of im
peachmiait when the President of the United
States was being tried, and when so presid
ing he became President of the Senate sitting
as a high court of impeachment. When - a
point of variance of a form of law came be
fore the court in the first instance, the Chief
Jirstice wits the proper person to decide it,
and then (he Senate on its being submitted
to them at a suggestion of a member could
either sustain or reverse his decision. A
long debate ensued as to the Chief Justice's
right in the case, which resulted in a motion
being made for the Serrate to retire for con
sultation. The vote on the motion was a tic,
standing 25 to 25, when Mr. Chase gaire the
casting vote in its favor, and it was carried.
Soon after, the Senate, headed by Use Chief
Justice, withdrew to the consulting room.
and remained out about three hours, at the
end of which period a rule was reported sub
stantially affirming Mr. Chase's position.
This new turn in the proceedings disconcert
ed the programme of the House managers,
and they also asked to retire for consultation,
after which the Senate adjourned to Wednes
day. . .
When the trial commenced on Wednesday
Senator Sumuer moved that an expression of
the Senate's opinion that the Chief justice
was unauthorized to give the casting vote on
Tuesday should be entered op the JournaL
which was voted down by 27 to. 11. The
question as to'the admissibility of Mr. Bur
leigh's testimony, designed' to show that the
President intended to take the War office by
force was discussed at length by the respec
tive managers, and decided in favor of the'
same by 39 yeas to 11 nays—a strict party
vote. The witness swore that he had heard
i Gen. Thomas say that he was resolved to
1 take charge of .the Department ; peaceably
if possible ; by force, if necessary; and that
the General-afterwards declared that his ar
rest was the sole reaaan why lie had tint car
ried out the threat. Nothing directly involv
ing the President was elicited. During the
examination a legal point erine up, that no
proof could be offered nf a consoiraey pre
vious to February 21st, 'which- was decided
adversely to the house managers by tile
Chief Justice, and sustained by the Senate.
Samuel Wilkenson stated that he had heard
Thomas say on several occaslona that he
would, if neceasary,call on the General of the
army for assistance to secure the office, aria
did not believe it, would be refused. Gee.
W. Kaisener had been told by Thomas that
"in a short time he would kick that feliow
out," meaning, the witness supposed, the
polar bear Stanton. At ten minutes past
five the Senate adjourned its fatiguing la
bors to Thursday.
The proceedings. thus far have been as
complete a farce as was ever performed in
any age or portion of the world.
ANDREW JOHNSON'S CRIME.
The people.should not forget that the crime
for which the President is to be impeached
consists simply in the exercise of n right
which has been enjoyed by all his predeces
sors, and belongs to the executive head of
every Government in the world. This right
is called in question by, a pretended law,
which is in such flagrant violation of the
Constitution, as well as of all precedents, that
the same Stanton, who now avails himself of
its provisions, who is a lawyer and has been
Attorney-Genemi, advised the President to
veto it. And no* . the President is to be im
peached in Stanton's interest because he be
lieves the law to be unconstitutional, and
institutes proceedings to bring it ton judicial
test! If the precedent is to be followed, it
will be in the pbwer of any future Congress
63 summarily eject any future President.
Congress has merely to pass some unconsti
tutional law which reverses the whole past
practice of the Government, and when the
President, takes the firSt steps for bringing it
to a judicial test, forthwith put him out .of
office by articles of impeachment. We might
as well abolish the farce of Presidential elec
tions if Congress can - thits make and tmniake
Presidents at their caprice.
CoNouns' triw it zt swot . antoar
The mean partizan spirit of the Majority in
Congrettl has been displayo id so many In
stances, that any new manifestation of the
same is , scarcely noticed. It is well, how
ever, that the public should be reminded
o f them oceasionally, in orderthatthey may
not lose sight of. the character-6f the teen
who rule us at Washington. One of the pet
tiest and most disgraceful acts thai Congress
has been guilty of, wm its treatment of the'
resolutions of the New Jersey Legislature,
on Monday, of which we find the_ following
report in, the telegrams of the liisqoelated
Press:
Mr. Haight (Dem., N. J.) presented a joint,
'resolution withdrawing the consent of the
;State of.Ncw Jersey to the-proposed amend-
'went or the Constitution of the United States.
Mr. Eldridge (Dem., Wis.) called for the
reading of the document.
After the clerks had commenced the read
lug, Mr. Washburne (Diann., M.) asked the
Speaker whether it was in order to more to
return the docuntent to the New Jersey' Leg
islature.
The Speaker said it was not t because all
papers presented in the morning hour must
be referred without .debate.
Mr. Washburn() said that iNit were in or

Mr: Waaliburne gave notice that be would
Make a motion to suspend the rules in order
that the document might be returned to the
Now:Jersey Legislature. -
THE clew that Mr. Johnson takes of the
impeachment trial is thus related :by a cor-
respondent of the Boston Post : : . '
"Mr. Johnson regards the impeaclancnir of
himself simply as a War upon the Constitu
tion. He feels the Jacobins are assailing
constitutional liberty and not Andrew John
son. ,In a Cabinet meeting to-day, the situa
tion was freely discussed, there hein_gno
business tequirine attention, and the Presi
dent joined heartily in the conversation. He
said his connection with the trial was but
the result of his having possession of the
power the dominant party was aiming to
usnrp, and the present - movement was the
last desperate act by which to seize that power
and subvert the government. The trial, he
said, was one in which he had a deep in
terest in common - with the whole Ainerican
people. This interest he bad and felt; noth
ing less, nothing more. In his present con
nection with the trial he is understood to re
gard himself singly as the representative of
the people, and in this representative capaci
ty he will make his defence. Such are
known to be President Johnson's views of
his impeachment and trial, and he claims
,to
have no interest in the proceeding beyond
that of any other patriotic citizen ; who is
determined to do his duty in the defence of
the Constitution and the liberties of the coun
try.'
It will be remembered that the people of
Alabama refused to endorse the Constitution
submitted tbr their ratification ut the in
stance of Congress.. The latter body is de
termined, though, that they shall accept it,
whether they will' or not. A bill has been
introduced, and• kill Migestionably piss,
declaring the rejected Constitution to be the
law of the State, and authorizing the officers
chosen untlerß, to serve. A's it would not
be safe to let Alabama vote at the Presiden
tial election, lest she might in favor of the
Democratic candidate, - it is provided that she
shall not be regarded as a member of the
Union until Congress says so. Thli is the
way the Radicals take to substantiate the
Declaration of Independence, and establish a
more 'perfect system of Republican govern
ment. -

A-MONO the feature of the proposeticonstitu
tion, addlited by the 'Radicals of North Caro•
are the following: That whites and no.
groes shall be forced to attend the same schools.
That whites and negroea shall be drilled to
gether in the militia—probably whites offi
cered by blacks. That white children are to
be apprenticed to negrms. That tnarrhige4
between whites and blacks are . to be legal.
Tint Senate has - not formally decided to
suspend legislation pending the impeachment
trial, but it scents to be tacitly understood by
the prominent ,Radical members that very
little if any business will be . transacted for the
coming three‘pr. four weeks, save that which
appertains to. impeachment: " Some influen
tial Senators, however, are decidedly opposed
to any such suspension, and will insist upon
devoting one to two hours per day to general
legislation, and occasionally a brief executive
session.
Tam: has been no greater outrage perpe
trated in the rump Congress (and that in
view of their atrocious conduct is saying a
great deal) than the report of the Committee
on Elections in favor of turning out General
George W. Morgan from his seat in the.
House, and conferring it upon his unsuccess
ful competitor, Columbus Delano. Mr. Mor
gan was elected in October, 1866, from the
counties of Coshocton, Licking; Knox and
Muskingum, Ohio, by a majority of
,nearly
three hundred votes. The district is strongly
Democratic, and last year gave nearly 2,000
majority- for Judge Thurman. If the House
sanctions this report, it bad totter eject all
the Democratic and Conservativernembers
once. It will be useless hereafter to elect a
Democrat to Congress, =leas there is a
majority to sanction him after he is' -chosen.
Tait Rev. Mr. ksnnnty, of Obbrlin, in a
recent prayer, made a special` Invocationin
behalf of Congress, estolling their virtue to
the skies, and then called the attention of the
Lord to theTresident. "But how," said he,
"shall I pray for4he President? Oh, LoNI, if
thou cans!. manage hint; without crushing
him, spare lieu. Otherwise, crush him !"
This reminds the Rochester Union of the
preacher. who, having a grudge against an
unjust neighbor, Prayed, "Oh, Lord, take
John Smith by the slack of his breeches and
shake him over hell, hut don't drop him
in !". '
Fr would seem that the half has not been
told concerning the frauds on the revenue in
the South-West. A dispatch from Galveston,
Texas, tells an astounding story of discover
ies said to have been made by • Treasury
agents there. In a bonded warehouse in
'that city, out of 400 barrels supposed to'con
taia whisky,3oo were found to be `tilled with
water, and a birge quantity of combustibles
had been secretly stored in such a manner
as to leave no doubt that , the destruction of
the warehouse was intended. Some of the
officials involved have fled, and others have
been arrested.
A ontrunLv e n explains the present system
of raising revenue as follows:. "Now, you
see, in the first place,they Fit the amount of a
feller's business. That is first taxed. Then
they find out _how Much he earns every
month, and that's taxed. :Then they find out
all about his profits, 'and on that they lay
their tax. Then they manage to get some
tax on what he owes. Next comes what they
call income, and that's taxed: Then, if any
thing is leit, the preacher calls around and
gits it to steam the church and convert the
heathen."
IF there is anybody on the face of the earth,
says the Cincinnati Efiquirer i wborn old Ben.
Wade detests, it is Salmon P. Chase, Chief
Justice of the United States. Had - it not
been for Wade, Mr. Chase would have been
the nominee for President in 1860, Instead of
Mr. Lincoln. One of the favorite remarks of
the profane "old Ben." was this, "that Mr.,
Chase was ,uncertain whether he (Chase)
made the Almighty, or whether the Almighty
•
IT is a wonderful and Instructive fact that
for three year ? ' the Radical leaders have re
fused to bring to trial and punishment Jef
ferson Davis, the man who labored to destroy
the Union, hut that, instead, they are now en
gaged in trying -President Johnson, the man
who, for three years, has been endeavoring
to restore the Union. This fact is sufficient
to stamp treason upon' the brow of every
Radical leader in the Rump Congress.
Ols Elfin.lay lice llouse managers of the
Impeachment conspiracy, including old
Thad., visited Britly's Gallery, on Pennsyl
vania- Avenue, Washington, and had their
ugly "mugs" taken, more for the gratiffca ,
tion of their own vanity than for the benefit
of posterity. The Washington' correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Age says that a "hard
er loOking group it would be difficult to im
agine."
A NEW YORK Herald correspondent, who.
has traveled through southwestern Virginia,'
says that every negni cabin contains a rifle
or a revolver, and in deserted houses, barns
and school houses, ncgroes are nightly drilled
with guards mounted, to prevent intrusion or
discovery. He witnessed a midnight drill, in
which over I.oonegrpes,were engaged. The
whites are fearful of negro outrages, and ap
pear to be in great terror.
TUE Congressional Democratic Executive
Committee, of which Senator Doolittle is the
chairman, and Representative. S. J. Randall
Secretary, are effectively distributinn Con
gressional speeches and documents—such as
the speethes of •Dooliftle, Dixon, Hendricks,
Buckalew„Brooks, Beck and ,Woodyrard.
Democrats can obtain them at $l2 Per thou

ROBERT - TYLER, ESQ., editor of the Mont
gomery Advertiser, writes from Washington
to his paper, that "there has been a regular
contract of bargain and sale between the
Radical party and General Grant, by which
they have agreed to accept him as. their
Presidential candidate, and he has agreed to.
defend them and their usurpations with She
sword."
THE Republicans in many of tie counties
of this State have already effected stmng or
ganizations fot the coming campaign.---&rtte

The 12epubpe;m5 failed to make the influ
ence of their orOhintions felt at the recent
municipal and township elections, the De.

gains everywhere throughout the State.
ItActin'. once said that biography added a
new terror to death. I Can a man's bitterest
enemy wish hint anything worse thai the
living death that would, be bestowed by such

Tip: New York Herald inquires how long
the people will consent to support a large
standing army for the sole purpose of keep

Not beyond the ides of November next.
THE Revolution says, "If
,we must have
either Grnnt or Chase, may the fates give us
the latter.' Let us tt, least have a sober man
with some fixed opinions."
