gasometer, and in order to pump the

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 ;

bugs filled with bon ; it was then stop

were next eitrried to the retorts, causing

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

Seoretary of the Commonwealth
The official leturns of the October
election in Pennsylvania show a major
ity of 9,677, for: Hartrauft,,Republican.
The. Republican majority in Ohio, of
tidally stated, is 17,372.
The ()tidal canvass iri Indiana shows
a majority for Baker, Republican, for
Governor, of 920. The rest of the Re

TO THE CONFESSIONAL.
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

tienten ; it will do Sou good to cx Holt.

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

footing up $225,UU0,000 nearly, sitico

crease, however, is 5260,000,000.
3. Take the third, tlecluLitiou—ti.at

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. •

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.

These financial - rphenoMena teach
every ., observer that Gen. Grant iEs pub
licly recognized as' the guarantor of
peace and order, just as the opposing
candidates aro recognized as the lead
ers of the cohorts of anarchy. Money
not only " makes the mare go," but
measures public co'nfidence hi men and
m easui es.
Our foreign policy Eeeens not likely
to Improve in the hands if Mr. Rever
dy Johnson. 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. Gnow,

'leans at the late election make sure of
a Republican Senator in the place of
Mr. Ruckalew, who goes , out .nest

in connection with the place, that we

one or more candidates will be brought
forward .from the Western counties !
while the rival interests of Cameron and

seems to us that the election of Mr.

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."
INDIAN CENSUS. —The number of
Indians of the hostile Indian tribes are
thus stated i n a frontier journal ;
Apaches, 8,000; Arapahoes, 3, 00 0 ;
Blackfoot, 6,000; Crows, 8,000; Coman

tares, 2,500; Navajoes,
.7,500; pious,
22,000. Malting in all - 78,000. These
are only the prominent tribes, most of
which are more or less hostile, and such
as may not be drawn into the confeder
ation of which Red cloud is the head,

editorial matter is specially adapted to the circle
it is Intendod.to interest and instruct; and it has
