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

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 ?
Shall we throw; away our control of
the next apportionment this fall, by
withholding the smallest portion of our
votes front Jolla! W. GEARY ? f..et
this business be well considered by otir
friends, before they shall resolve to
indulge any trpridient:pique, or humor
any passing dissatisfaction with the
party, by withholding' their hearty ef
forts from the election of the Repybli
can nominee.
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.. Otherwise, a mischief will be

We have entered upon another poli
tical campaign, and the watclifiree of
liberty are kindling afresh in every
nook and hamlet in our wide Common
wealth. The renomination 'of JOHN
W. GEARY, the hero of Lookout:Mem:l
Min, and •of HENRY , W. WILLI/oes,
the eminent jurist And pure patriot,
brings hkme to the bosom of every man
in Pennsylvania . , fresh patriotism and
renewed enthusiasm with which to go.
forth to meet the old 'enemy of the
Union that

many fortrieeoccasions. It is true our
political opponents have rested long
and have had time to re-organize their

and are again flushed with hope ; hut
they have not changed their canse uer
acquired new principles; . 'we must meet
them to-day upon the same grounds
we left them in disgraceful deTeat and
demoralization last fall.
The campaignhas opened, and for
a more auspicious -opening we could
not wish. The ticket presented for the'
suffrages — a - the freemen of Pennsylva
nia, is one worthy the support of every
man who loVes freedom independence,
and an honest, ecoinimical administra,
tion of the affairs of our State. The
unanimity with filch. 'Amino
tions were made speak more loudly
than would the charactet• of the pen
who have been ;called to the leadeiship
in the campaign now before us. 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

has become lethargic ; its
ranks are in a straggling condition ;

Union' column, whose every march has
been to victory, once more put in mo

men of the party will labor. With
thorough organization, our course is an
easy one to victory in October".

intelligent use. o£ all that is g064.-and. the
-rejection of all thatis evil; that cleanli
ness includes purity of person, purity of
surroundings, purity of soul; and that
exercise, in its true sense, means - a - full and
perfect -development of the body - in bar-
Says the London Quarterly Review :
"The acknowledgment seems to become
daily' Wider-spread that the man is creat
or than his -maladies :" that his general
condition is of more importance than his
local ailments; that disease is a change in
him, - rather than in seine part of him; and
that no 'treatment cah be of real service
whick-sacrifices the greater to the lesser.",
This is what Dr. Wiseheadreasoned to
himself when he spoke to Weaker Brother
M. D., about the 'wine and beef tea
shrewdly covering up his wisdom by the
"little tonic remedy," lest be shouid risk
his standing with the "County Medical
Society," and thus deprive himself of the
opportunity of another consultation.
On the whole; we do not think the pros
pects of the drug trade, for. a brisk busi
ness, during"the latter half of the twen
tieth century, are altogether flattering. Be
fore the expiration of. that .period, man
will, .perhaps not have practicallY learned
that diseases may be wardcld off by a clean,
temperate life ; but he will at least have
learned that diseases once acquired cannot
be cured by cathartics, emetics, or any of
the other "ice," and, throwing himself
upon n rture, will give her the trest chance
to work lie - can, end thus secure the only
possible chance ho has for recovery.
We would not, in .these roma] ks, be un
derstood to - reflect
t anything upon the no

nauseous, poisonous, and powerful-drugs;
not tonic itt their action, that we deprecate
believing that not one. patient needs them
while many a life has been lost through
their administration

After haiing carefully read the whole

least neither by the evidence which was
given, nor by the charge of •the Court—
and therefore we think the verdict which
this jury has returned is not justified. If
thejury_ has the right to decide a case just
as they please, we need not take the evi
-One% it i 8 th,en'aufficient,to bring the de
fendant before Vie bar and to toll the jury ;
now how du yob like this prisoner? 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. We do not know what is the law,
but it seems to our common sense as an
act- of justice not to allow, that circum
stances which might show a motive for a
crime arolirought in, unless the fact, that
this crime has really been committed, has
lemon proved and established beyond a
reasonable doubt.. , K.

COMING CROPB.—The report of the•
Agrcpltural Department for May and
June is very favorable. Wheat is doing
its best all over ; barley and other grains
are in fine condition. The equine popula
tiori (and their owners) will rejomo at the
good prospects of plenty of oats. Corn is
not so forward, owing to the -rains, but
every lover' of Indian meal ')will be happy
to hear that wherever it has generally been
replanted, 'there is reason to expect a
fully average crop. There will be a good
deal of cotton, although notnearly so much
as there would havmtnien if. the area now
Planted was cultivated with the earns care
as in the olden times, when the said, cot
ton was king. New corners and new
mon, not fully understanding the necessa
ry.lobor, and having too keen an eye for
the profits, without giving sufficient at
tention to :the intermediate processes be•
tween planting sod selling, having coy
ored a great expanse of country with cot- 4
ton plants, but can hardly expect a yield
equal to what toothirds the area, well
cultivated, would have produced. 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. As to fruit,'we shall have enough
to warrant every man from abstaining
from cholera that is from rotten and green
specimens. Peaches wil - kbe plenty ; pears
likewise. and on the whole, as we can
scarcely expect a great deal Of froist now,
it will bo a good year for fruit.

_
annual exhibition of the' Boys' and Girls'
High Schools .of Carlisle , was, held in
Rheem's Hall, on Wednesday evening of
last week, in presence of a largo and ap
preciative audience. Indeed, 'the large
room used for public exhibitions was com
pletely filled, and many went away, unable
to obtain standing room. The young ladies
and gentlemen who took part in the exer
cises of the evening acquitted themselves
in a most creditable *manner, and their
teachers have good reason to be proud •of
the proficiency displayed by the, pupils.

ing to the address delivered by Jous H.

public," was carefully and correctly writ

sentiments, and showed rare', powers of
'composition in one so young. Its delivery,'
too, was very chaste and appropriatd, and
evinced that the youthful speaker bad a

SOEIOEPPE.—The following
letter from Di. PAUL SaTIOEITE to the
Philadelphia Age shows his opinion of
"the situation."
CARLISLE, Pa., 27th of June, 1809.
Massne. WELSH& Rosin :—Yqa re
porter in mentioning a recent meeting of
the Medical Society of the District of Co
lumbia; said that a communication from
Dr-Schoeppe was received, asking for an
expression of opinion probably to be.used
if favorable, with an application 77for . par
.don or. a . commutation of the sentence.,"
Permit ma to say that this latter opinion
is based upon a mistake. It is truothatl
am convicted of murder in the first• • dogre
but until now no sentence has been peas( ..
upon me. '3l.y counsel have . ado offio •
to get a now trial granted, and his bon ,
Judge 'Graham, v7ill render hitt
about this petition on therrlth of next A
gust. I need not tell that I am convict
for a crime which never has been comm
ted. My conviction was only caused
an unhappy, and, as it seems to' me, n
just , mixture of considering the motiv,
for a crime, and'of definition as to th..
cause Of ,death., But: I.,would under u
eircumstiinces consent to a Commutation
the death-penalty Into imprisonment •
Ilfo. I think 'a man • who 'has wilful
killed another person ought to be but
I and if 'there has not boen committee
murder or the-prosecution cannot me
out clearly, certainly,. end'boyond'all re
,sonable doubt, the cause, of death, no - pe
'on ought-to be kept responsible for sue
a thing.
. • ,
All that I want isjusfiee. If the Court
of Cumberland County, or the Supreme
Court' f the State of --Pennsylvania, think
that the-verdict which , -the jury has.ren
dered in my Case, is according to the evi
donee which Was given, atid according to
the laws, of the State of ..Pftmaylvattia, then
I would dio liked man'-conscious of My
innixionee, and'irusting that future time
will reveal, this, , my innocelfce, even to the
public: For I subordinate ant bond my- ,
self under the Initituticins and la - of tile
country,. in which to live I rhintarlly
