En A [GIGANTIC BALLOON . „ A London paper says: " Over the Atilibarharn Gardena, immediately west of Cremorne Gardens, now floats a bal . lonn of unparalleled dimensions, and which, from the peculiarity of- its ac companying machinery, :seems likely to acquire a - remarkable place in tilt history. of- teronautical science.

So costly and so delicate a work necessarily required sonic exter nal protection, and an immense circu lar Screen, formed of begirds and can vas, shuts out the public from the space within which the balloon rests. The balloon, with all its machinery, is . French property, and has been care fully devised and is almost exclusively worked by Frenchmen. It otters a prom too, of the eifterprise, as well as the skill of our brilliant and Ingenious neighbors.

A gasometer was eonstrueted for the purpose of storing a supply of hydro- gels' to meet the inevitable waste which will 6e constantly occuring. A pit or wyll had of course to be dug under this gasometer, and in order to pump the weirs into the pit one of Merry iv eat le er's steam engines was• being employed in-immediate proximity to the spot on which were standing two rows of lau rels in which the gas is generated. The engine was not engaged many minutes in this operation when the sparks from ; . its chimney slightly set fire to some bugs filled with bon ; it was then stop ped for a few moments ;. but the sparks were next eitrried to the retorts, causing sixteen of them to explode in rapid suCcession, and tresting a scene of con siderable excite lent among the whole , party filling the grounds. The barrel heads and the zinc pipes by which they were connected with thegasoineler were Instantly • blo ti away, and ninny ,o 1 the fragments were driven over the Kit ty screen surrounding the balloon. One . of the workmen was struck by a Ipiece of this wood sold slightly cut in the face, but no other damage, fortunately, was Inflicted, and the accident might certainly, under more favorable circum stances, have been attended with far more distressing circumstances. As it was, it may render it impossible to re commence the ascents for a few days, but it cannot interfere with thd ulti ' mate success of the undertaking in Nsfbich the constructors of this balloon have ben engaged," geveml individuals are now In New York engaged in shipping arms to the Southern States. One of them is from Texas, another from Georgia, two are from -outh Carolina, and two or three others are from Alabama; Louisiana and Tennessee. The articles they are pur chasing are mainly revolvers and re peating or breech-loading rifles ; all the models of muzzle-loading weapons are discarded, and the purchasers are un derstood to prefer short barrels• to long ones. Two thousand revolvers were sent South In one nuasignment three . weeks ago, and shipments of two, three and live hundred revolvers are unpleas antly frequent. The Uharleston steam er last week took a dozen cases of hard ware, which was really a lot of breech loading rifles destined for private par ties In that city. One dealer In fire arms admits that he has more orders than he can fill for the present, and pro fesses not to know where the weapons he sells are going. All these facts point rather strikingly to a very distut bed condition of affairs in the South. They strongly . remind one of the fall of 186u 4 when arms and ammunition flowed rebelward in one continuous eteram. 4" --Sun.

When the dust of the conflict shall have cleared away—for at the time of this writing the result hi unknown— we shall -expect our opponents of the Bair press to inform the people if cer tain statements free l ly and persistently submitted by them during the cam! pwign, were true, or false, studied false hoods, or the utterances of ignorance. The columns of each and all have over flowed with such declarations as— The burden of taxation 'falls upon the poor workingman." The public debt has steadily in creased since the close of the war." "The rate Of taxation is increasing." "The bondholder pays n- taxes." "Everything we eat and wear pays a Government tax." " The Republicans have all the pat roliagc -of the Urovernment." " It costs hundreds of millions to liecp a t,landing fumy iu the Soilth to lorce the Reconstruction acts of Con- " The Preeihnen's bureau has cost the country hunclreds'of " The poor widow pays a tax on the pension_ paid her by the Government." —So we might, go on enumerating to the end of the chapter, but the forego ing will Having constantly de nounced these statements as lies, during the canvass, further notice of them may scetn superfluous. Not so : evil that men do lives after them." Our opponents chuckle over these things as " good 'enough 'Morgans until after elec tion." The account cannot be thus dis eharged. We pass over without comment the statement- which arose from fair differ ctiees>f opinion ; inhiatters of opinion th re must be perfect freedom. But in matters of fact we shall confront these fathers of lies with their base-born pro geny while life remains. 1. To say that the burden of taxation Is borne by the poor, rather than by the rich, is to falsify wilfully. Admit, for the sake of the argument, that the poor man feels the tax-gatherer in all that he consumes; and is it not equally true.that the rich man - is taxed iu the same manner on what he consumes? Can a rich man buy flour, butter, meat, clothing, etc., cheaper than the poor man ? Not a penny cheaper. Every man pf fair sense knows that. Now is it not just as evident that in addition to this "sumptuary tax," the rich man pays taxes ou his real estate, his per sonal property, his horses and carriages, his gold watches, and plate, and upon his income over and above $1000? Does the poor man pay a dollar of the $35,- 000,000 realized from the tax on in conies ? Not a penny of it. DoeS ,the poor mail pay a dollar of the $86,000,000 realized) froth the tarlifon w.nes, bran dies, silks, lace)), velvets, India shawls,' diamonds, statuary, 'philosophical and astronomical instruments? Necessari ly, not a dollar. Well, who does pay the Government this $121,000,000 for incomes and costly luxuries ? The rich, of course. What then, becomes of the ehtusge that the poor man bears the bur den of taxation,? It goes back to the devil, whence it came. 2. Take the nest deelaraiion—that the Public Debt has steadily increased since the close of the war. When, we ask, did the war close? Did it elo-e March 1, lai3 ?---for that is the time used as a point of . departure by those who make this declaration. Can one of these wise nit-n incur„ n their reader when Andrew Johnt-on i inade his !woe lawation of peace? Lo4i* it up, gen tienten ; it will do Sou good to cx Holt. the sources of politteal iu roi Must we reiterate the tact ‘t hich i. u; record, that the public debt touched its maximum Atn_th-t 1, 1863? That it then totted up $2,757,5(,3,91:' anti that on the Ist of Augus.t, I.BGS, it footed up Adding to this lath.) -t,ll to 43ii,060,600 Lauds isl-tied iii aid t i ne Pacific I.l..itroad, and $7,200,00U for the purebase of Ala:- ka,—neither o, which ileitis actually increase the debt of the nation—and you have as the to tal debt to-day, in round ntnnbet s, 333,0(10,00D, a deck ease of the public debt footing up $225,UU0,000 nearly, sitico the It of Auz,ust, 180. The real 00 - crease, however, is 5260,000,000. 3. Take the third, tlecluLitiou—ti.at the rate of taxation is steadily inereas log. The contrary is the exact truth.

He may not steal, but if not, it will be due to fear or consequences rather than to moral restraint. The editor of the Williamsport Stan ard, two days after the official vote in 42 counties of West Virginia showed a Republican majority of 4500 and over, with 13 counties polling less than 3090 votes, all told, to hear from, assured its readers that the State - had gone Demo cratic; and that the Republicans lied when, they claimed it. The editor well knew, if ho knows anything, that he deceived his readers: for the 13`counties - not then officially reported cast but 2594 votes in the aggregate on their fullest turn out, and in 1866 gave.a. Republican majority of 609. Now if those 13 coun ties have not cast a Republican vote the Republican ticket has a majority of not less than 1800., But several of those 13 counties have given •Reptitdican major ities. • JNO. W. GEARY —And out of such spalt timber, Mar shal Rowley, you make up juries for :U. S. Courts, do you? Yours is a discrim ination not to be commended or rewar ded. The Episcopal Con viention, lately sit ting in New York, adjourned . ou the 27th. It left ritualism where it was, an act of wisdom scarcely to be expect ed of such bodies. If men and women put pomp and show above worship no ecclesiastical authority can hinder that. It would not be well to deprive the ne gro of his fetish before providing some thing to take its place. Ritualism will harm nobody. St. Albans is not the Church, but a sect only. Sects in the religious world are as currents in the air, and in the ocean, processes of equi librium and purification. • Upon the nomination lof Blair and : 4 e3.mour gold went up from 38 to 49, , premium, and Government securities went down from two to three per cen tum. It was curious to note the varia tions of the barometer of cash as the canvass procPeded. The result in Ver mont ItotiO t stocks forward. sent them up another peg; and when the result in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio was known, gold dropped to 341 from 45, and stocks advanced about three per cent.

I His speeches at the ban quets given him in England do not sa vor of that Republican simplicity which we hope he' intends to represent. A citizen of a Republic may be a gentle man aud•yet refrain from toadyhig the Roebucks of Britain. No sensible man watits a war with England ; but no good American desires to forgive and forget the piracies upon under British connivance upon our. shipping during the rebellion. Tho Alabama claims cannot be set tled by stroking llr. Roebuck's quills the wrong way ; nor will bowing before that very unworshipable gentleman set tle those claims. We want a business man for representative at the Courts of our grandmother just now, when the tine arts or diplomacy seem rather in-. adequate to the work.. Britannia owes• us a round, sum" in damages. Send a first class collector over to attend to it and let Mr. Johnson retire until dessert shall be served. He is too' stately for business. Can it be that David G. Croly, the arithmetician of the World, has - been cyphering for the 3, liiiton County De mocracy ? The li t number of their organ, in summing up the Democatie gains in Tioga County at the October election, speaks of great gains in Chat ham since 1866. Wilson had 101 maj. in Chatham in 1860 ; Armstrong hits 120 maj. there in 1868. The question is, if tile Republicans gain Mon majority in two years, how long will it take the 1)k:11106r:icy to catch up ? The Demo dfatic gain in Jackson is also descanted uvon. Wilson's maj. in Jackson in 18u6 was 43 ; Armstrong has 78—a gain on majority of 30. iSaple question as almve to be solved by a man good ,at flames. However, w hat's the use to correct such tdinidcrers? Already the newspapers are agitating tile U. S. l' 4 enator question. Were the oilict : dependent on a popular vote the tlispo , al of the place would not be very doubtful. But it is not so to he dispos ed of ; we look for tt wrangle.

The largo majority in the Pennsyl vania Legislature gained by the Repub.:. 'leans at the late election make sure of a Republican Senator in the place of Mr. Ruckalew, who goes , out .nest spring.

It is quite probable that one or more candidates will be brought forward .from the Western counties ! while the rival interests of Cameron and Curtin will doubtless be felt in the can vass.

NOVA SCOTIA.—SOMe idea - May be formed of the intense excitement that now prevails in this province on the subject of its separation from the other confederate colonies, from the fact that a report was current in Halifax on Friday last that a General in the United States Army had offered to send fifteen thousand troops to assist Nova Scotia in breaking away from the New Doniinion. The contrast between the present love exhibited toward the Udited States and the conduct of the people during the rebellion of Southern • States, is it striking illustration of the rapid change of public opinion. whirligig of time has brought Its regenges in this instance. Im appears from the records of the Treasury Department that the item of $19,500,000 for bounty claims of deceased and discharged soldiers, settled during the past fiscal year, went 'to make up the increase In the public • debt shown in the last report. This amount went iutoabout two thousand families, mostly of the poor; in sums ranging from $25 to $5OO. An American backwoods clergyman ha•:ing alluded to an anchor in his dis course, described its use in the follow ing manner :—" An anchor is 'a large iron instrument that sailors carry tons with them, and , when a storm arises, they take it on shore and fasten it to a tree, and that holds the ship till the storm blows over."
