AND' THE • RESULT —lt vies thOught a year ago that the estimate made by several distinguished financial gentlemen as to the receipts from infernal revenue during 1868-9, --:-- were - mosHiberal - The - year - elesed on the 30th" of June. The estimated receipts, when all collections shall have been received, are W 60,000,000. A little more than a year age. Mr. Wells estimated that the receipts would prob ably reach $155,000,000, Mr. Rollins estimated $145.000,000, and Mr. Mc thillobh $140,000,000, all short five millions and over the actual collections, The aggrggate revenue for the year _Was about $373,000,000, $7,000,000 more in the aggregate than $1,000,- 000 a day. Judiciously expended, such an immense income should afford a handsome payment on the national debt. WHEREVER the Republican party rules in the country,-there indebted ness is reduced and the people prosper. For instance, the Ststo of lowayeeent- • - ly paid off a large part of its debt, and - " -- 11drftTifidtr011 - talitrktiffiairetrird'dMit the outstanding loans, as soon as the holders are ready to receive the money. And Indiana is pursuing the same' course. Five years ago the debt of that State was $9,000,000, and has. now been reduced to $2,600,000, of which $BOO,OOO was paid off on July let, leaving only $1,800,000 still due. It is the same in Pennsylvania. ITn . der the Republican Administrations of Governors Curtin and Geary the State debt has heel, largely reduced and tax atimi lightened. The tax on real estate has been altogether removed. If the people want this satisfactory state of affairs tO continue they must re-elect Geary in October. To return• to Sham . Democratic g9verninent will-be to in vite increased indebtedness and des , tructiveMisrule. THE twistings and turnings of the Democratic party are certainly curious. Last year the Dpineeratic National Con vention, which nominated Seymour and Blair,.declared in its platform in favor - of a just .measure of protection to American industry through a tariff And novi - thi State - Democratic Con vention of New Hampshire has laid down in its platforn the doctrine of free trade. Last_ year!the National Democratic platform was claimed to be opposed to repudiation. Yet n'ow Democratic candidate for Congress in —Kentucky has come out squarely upon the stump for repudiation: In one thing; however, the New Hampshire Democratic platform is consistent with Democracy last year. It still insists upon-taxing United States bonds ; but as the Democratic party in New Hamp shire is only a ghost, it is of very little consequence what it resolves. Pi•ogresslitg. The New York World advises its party to give .up the dead issues of the past, and especially to abandon its habitual hostility to the "nigger." The " World' asserts that - the Fifteenth Amendment• is certain to be ratified and to become - a part of the Federal Constitution, and under it the blaCks will vote at the Presidential election of 1872. It is, therefore,useless and fool ish to harness a dead horse to the Democratic coach. The World is shrewd. Are its Democratic cotem poraries*in this State as much ? It don't look so, the way they are pitch ing into the " nigger",already in this campaign,_ The political moor in the Democratic newspapers consists of lit tle else than the demonstrations of the ignorance, brutality; ferocity., degrada tion, and 'general worthlessness of the "nigger." Now, if it be true, as the LKdrlrl confesses, that these “niggers" are to vote in a year, or two, would it not be prudent for the party organs to shut off the,Ourrent of abuse ? There are enough bqiilts of proper age in to bold the balance of power, and they have sense enough to use it where it will count for some- thing • SOME jocose writer once maintained - 'that dead - men - might-linger among all the ,scenes of life, and, he quoted the oldipbrases, "'dead and goim," "dead, and buried,'! to show that the pop ular sense-mfiad a distinction bqween dyipg and 'iciingoff or diSappearidg.

The political 'canvass of 1869 in Pennsylvania presents objects worth . contending for. The Supreme Court of the Commonwealth has been too long .administering justice .to its people in the interests of a party with which that people have had no sympathies for many a year. Of late, circum stances have enabled us,to cheek this Mischief by placing upon the bench a temporary majority ,politically in ac cordance with the 'prevailing sentiment of the State. But Judge WILLIAMS holds his place,—and thereby exclude a Democratic preponderance—only by , the Executive appointment, and unless he be rechosen by the people. the Su preme Court will again have a major ity of . its Judges of that party. Is it proposed by any Republican, with his eyes •open, to surrender that tribunal to the control of the opposition.by the failure to cast our whole vote foi lion. HENRY W. WILLIAMS WILLIAMS? - Again, the Governor of Pennsylva nia takes part in Mir State'legielation. The veto po*er - gives him practically a controlling influence, and upon ques thins of political beating this influence would certainly, be exercised for poli tical ends. The Governor, whom we choose in October next, will hold his office from. January, 1870, for three years. At the session beginning int January; 1871, the CoMmonwealth is to bare-apportioned for legislative dis tricts, and the bill which shall, make this division cannot become a law with out the Executive approval. Electing an opposition Governor in 1871, it will do ue no good: in that respect to pile up the heaviest majorities in. the two Houses in the,year following, for the Executive can and will dc;fy them all. :What. say our Republicans- to this ?

This matter of the State apPortion ment.is a very important one; and mu's!, not be ignored in the coming canvass: The Governor and Senator,. whom we choose this year are to have part in shaping That divisioniand it is of' the last consequence that the Republicans of Pennsylvania spare no efforts to se cure ghat part in the right political hands..

No scheming politicians, no ring's; no cor porate 'monopolies have been served, - but in, the action of the Philadelphia_ Convention we recognize the command ing voice of the people. Organization is what we7now want. The party which has been testing from the__field of political_ strife, where it . ~ -- gained )•so glorious a victory less - than a year are has become lethargic ; its ranks are in a straggling condition ; discipline must be-enforced; the °noes of the scattered forces must be visited,: and the Union sleepers gath ered • into camp, and the grand . old Union' column, whose every march has been to victory, once more put in mo tion. Our organization cannot be ef fected too soon; and to this end all good men of the party will labor. With thorough organization, our course is an easy one to victory in October".

Do as you please, eit her "acquit or convict him !" But we can hardly call such proceedings an act of justice, and the place where it.ie performed a court of justice. The history • has shown sufficiently, how arbitrary and unjust very often the public opinion'is.„ People praise to-day a man holy, and to morrow the same people clamor crucify, crucify him. To prevent that a men might be wronged by the prejudices and rumor, upon which inmost cases the public opin ion is based, wise and just laws have been enacted fixing certain forms' under and by which a man shall he tried, and which to slight or contemn the jury has no right. If a man is tried for murder on circum stantial evidence, the fact that there has been committed a murder must be estab• lisbed before such trial beyond elk-reason able doubt. And if the prosecution can not establish and prove this fact beyond all reasonable doubt,-the jury has no right to consider the circumstances, by which the prisoner was connected with the de- - ceased. In 'all the cases therefore, we have ever heard of, Where a man has been tried for murder on circumstantial evi dence, a coron4r jury had before the trial established the fact bitymd all reasonable doubt, that there has been committed a murder. This mixture of circumstantial.. evidence and of defleition es to the cause of death, as it wits in the Behoeppe case, is .ver y ' apt to generate a bad prejudice against the defendant and to cause his conviction fora crime, of which no person .can ..say with certainty, -whether it has been committed at all. We need not tell, that if motives, which the prisoner might have had for committing a Murder of another person, fuel° be used to detbrro inn whether death occurred from sortie natural cause or not, the life of no man le safe.

But for all that, we shall have more 'cotton than wo have had for the last eight yoors. There will be plenty of of sorghum, and if any one could make the syrup into good sugar, it would be bad for the West In- dies.
