TIIE STATE TAX. — The following card
Isaac B, Gara, Deputy Secretary of the
Commonwealth, fully explains itself:
JJAHISLI R, PA„ April '23, 18(17.
Editors Goseiir, — Many of the journal
of the State have given currency to the 1
following: •
" The Legislature ha< passed an act abol
ishing tiie State tax ou personal property,
a -dsiibsfitiiiing thcrcf'oi, a ievy apportion- j
ed am -tig the different counties according i
to the population."
Allow me t<> say,thai no such act haS been
wet to tins Department for examination j
and approval at.d that consequently no such j
a't eouid have received the concurrent 8 tnc-1
lion o'. the two Houses of the Legislature, i
As it is desirable that the pi evading er- '
icaenus impression in regard to the matter
should be cm reeled, I would respectfully |
r<-quest the mention ot the above slated tact .
in your columns. Yours very truly,
Isaac B* Gara,
UXDEKWOOD. —The following is a por
tion of ("ndri wood's testimony before the
. Rump Judiciary Committee, not many j
months ago:
Question. Could either Davis or Lee be
convicted of treason in Virginia ?
Answer. Oh, no, unless you had a pack
ed jery.
Q. Could you manage to pack a jury
there ? j
A.I think it would be very difficult, but I
it could be doae, 1 could pack a jury to 1
convict them.
The jury which this "judge" now has
w i h lnm at Richmond, and wuh which ho
is extremely anxious to "try" Davis, was !
drawn by a I nited States marshal who is i
either bis son or nephew, and it numbers a- i
•ti'M.g us member five negroes, with John '
Minor Botts as foremen. Comment is un-
Lecessary.
JCW A Virginia negro, according to an
exthange, on hearing that Congress was
going to give lands to the darkies, said: <
"Land de debbii! l's free now, and don.t
want no iand. l's gwine to git worms and .
go fishing." Give him a vote. i
Inhuman Treatment of a Child. ...
We clip from the Scranton Register,
the following account of an outrage, com
mitted ou a little child in that city week
before last, which seems to have its only
parallel in the case of the Rev. Joel Lind
sey, who murdered bis infant child be
cause it did not say its prayers. Blake,
the inouster spoken of, is said to have
spent the evening in question at a prayer
meeting, where no doubt, he prated loudly
of charity and chanted ;
'•That mercy I to others show,
That taercy show to me.".
A case of this character took place in
this city, which if the statement of tlie
child is credited, is one of the most inhu
man acts we have ever been called upon
to record, and stamps those engaged in it
r.s monsters void of the common instincts
of humanity.
An interesting little boy aged eight
vears, son of Mr. David Bailie, living in
thejEighih Ward, went into the store of
George Biake Co., dealers in Sewing
Machines, No. 322 Lackawanna avenue
on Wednesday, for tiie purpose of getting
a ball. What transpired after that we
prefer to rairate, as near as we can, as it
was told ns by the child and his parents,
who are intelligent, pious ank respectable
people.
THE CHILD'S STOUT.
lie said he took two balls from a box
! and was going to show them to an older
playmate to know w Licit one was the
! kind to get. Gergc Biake, or a cletk by
the name of Hoigate saw him with the
halls, feud Blake took tiiem from him,
cuffed and shook him very hard, dragged
him down cellar where it was very dark
and shut him up in a stone hole, and
Blake told him if he cried he would put a
stick in his mouth. lie said he begged
and a.-ked them to let him go home and
his father would pay for the ball. It was
muddy and dark, anu water falling on me
in the hole, and I crL-d. A boy came
down and struck me in the face and hurt
me. I was afraid, but did not make a
noise for fear they would put the stick into
inv mouth. In the night the rats run over
ine and made queer noises. I got a stick
and struck thein and nia !e them squeal.
1 knelt down and prayed to God not to let
the T'ttx eat me up. and I guess lie scut a
good angel to keep theui away.
This is the substance of the child's state
ment.
Mr. Bailie searched for the lost child
till midnigdt. Mrs. Bailie, a nervous wo
man, was nearly crazed on account of her
Charlie's absence, and at four o'cloek the
next morning was searching for biru.—
About five o'clock be crawled out of his
prison through the coal hole in the side
walk and started for home. His mother
saw him coming down the avenue and
calhd him He seeun*d bewildered and
did not know her, She spoke to him
again when he recognized her, and with
a cry of agony sunk to the ground, the ef
fect of exhaustion and fright, She took
her pale and trembling child ail covered
with mud ai d filth and carried him into
the house, and after beisg washed, warm
ed and the pioper restoratives admini.-ter
ed, he became calm enough to tell h s ter
rible sufferings alone in a >toe vault dur
ing the long and dreary hours of that fear
ful night!
We shall make no comment'', for if the
child's tule is true they are not needed ; if
untrue, the Kgal prosecution about Iteing
commenced against George Blake and his
man Ilolgate will bring the facts to light
and exonerate the parlies. But we will
ci e with tbereai'iik made to us b}- the
lather. "My son is subject to the chronic
Croup. Had he been taken and died
with it and his litile body mutilated by the
lats, my God, would it not have been aw—
fulj"
We have subsequent information that
the above very strange and unfortunate
case has been settled for ?/>OO and the
suit withdrawn. It will be seen that we
have the story upon one side only, with
out explanation.
LATER.
We have since received through the
Register, Mr. Blake's explanation, as fol
lows :
To the Editors of the Daily Ryister:
An exagoratcd account, entitled ''lnhu
man Treatment of a Little Child," having
appeared in your columns, you will confer
a favor by inserting a few lines from me iu
reply.
The bov in question, having been de
tected stealing, and charged with the act
confessed the tact. Thinking tnat a slight
putiishlncni would do him good,ftertalking
with him, he was shut up in the cellar, and
to impress him still further, a stick was
given him, and he was told to defend him
self against the rats. This is probably
what made the boy rupposejbe was overrun
with them afterward. There was nocutfing
or shaking whatever. This occurred after
eight o'clock in the evening, and I left
word with Mr. Ilolgate, to release the boy
at nine o'clock. Mr.lJolgate did bring him
up at the time directed, but thinking that
he did not appear at all repentant, confined
him again on his own responsibility, where
he lemained til! he escaped. In the morn
ing. the parents being informed of all the
fo ts, expressed themselves entiiely satis
li d with the proceedings, had they been
informed of the whereabouts, of the boy.
This all occurerd on Wediesday and
Thursday morning,*an(f would have ended
fere tut that some persons with whom I
have had difficulty, excited Mt 'Bsilie and
induced lnm to commence an action against
Mr. Hoigate and myself without sayicg
anything to us on the sul ject Wishing to
avoid a suit, and knowing that I had no
right to punish another person's child to the
slightest extent, I had an interview with
Mr. Bailie, and settled with him on his own
terms. No one can condemn the protract
ed punishment more than myself; still, as
the act, however wrong, was an error of
judgment, which he deeply regrets, and was
only intended for the good of the child, wet
feel justified in retaining Mr. Hoigate in
ou r employ. The boy was not struck a
any time, nor denied water,

Bear thU la Hind,
The Democratic party was organized in ]
1800, says a contemporary, and came into
power in 1801. With brief iutervals, it
continued in power np to 1861. During
all this time, no nation was more prosper
ous than this; no people more happy;
no government less burdonsome. Taxes
were lighter than under any other govern
ment in the world; labor was better re
quitted, and political and religious liberty
was more universally enjoyed. There
was nnion between the States, happi
ness and prosperity among the people. —
When bad men sought to destroy the Un
ion, their first blow was at the Democratic
party. They only hoped to accomplish
this through the defeat and destruction of
that party. By dividing its counsels they
secured its defeat. That was seven years
aero, and what have we to-day ? A broken
Union; ten of the States under a military
despotism; political and religions liberty
a by-word; the burdens of government
more crushing than those of any other on
earth ; labor is remunerate! with depreci
ated promises to pay, and the necessaries
of life are at famine prices; crime has in
creased a hundred-fold, and vice is clothed
in purple and fine linen ; the food ws eat,
the clothes wc wear, the colfius which en
compass the last remains of the dead, are
all taxed to the last point of endurance—
and what have we gained? Nothing, in
finitely morse than nothing ! Is it uot
time that the memory of the
awakened the people to an ambition for
a glorious future ? What the country
was, the Democratic party made it; what
it is, is the work of the enemies of that
party. Is it not time that the peopie bc
gau to reflect upon the necessity of restor
ing that party to power, asd with it, re
storing the country to both national and
individual prosperity ? The signs of the
times indicate that reason is resuming its
throne, a..d passion, preju.lice and hatred
are passing from the hearts and minds of
the people. The day of remuneration i§
dawning.
Parilons--tVho Asked Them f J
One cf the greatest crimes laid to the
charge of President Johnson, says the
Pittsburg Post of the 12th ult„ was his
having pardoued so many rebels—"red
handed rebels', we believe, is the phrase
ot the halulntins when they speak upon
this exciting theme, The Radical Sena
tors have abused him tor this exercise of
the paidocing power; Ashley has become
indignant, Builer has grown furious —and
the lesserlights of the Radical party have
so wrought upon, tbat no tongue can tell
their indignation.
Some fool in Congress, who didn't know
all this fury was make believe, got up a
resolution of inquiry, and for he purpose
of impaling the President upon his own
weapon —compelling him to commit hari
kari called on him for a list of pardons,
and a statement of the names of those who
had advised their issue; the document
was forwarded lately, and we want our
Radical friends to sec it:

charges.
IRISH WIT. —At a seizure of illicit
whiskey in lieiand, all the "native" was
destroyed with the exception of a small
bottle full which was preserved by the
officers, to be used in evidence against the
parties charged The day of trial at length
arrived; the bottle was produced, and
handed to a witness whose power of dis
crimination between the "parliament" and
real "mountain dew" were considered un
rivalrd. After the oatu being duly aJnrin
istered, he was ordered by the attorney
for the prosecution to take the bottle, taste
the liquor, and say if what it contained
was "poteen." The bottle was raised to
bis lips, then again raised and completely
emptied of its contents, thus destroying all
evidence against the accused, he remarking
ai he laid it down :
"Well, your honors, I won't swear it's
poteen ; hut, faix, it's a beautiful imitation."

The Rev, Ben £mory Heard From.
The National Intelligencer of May Ilth
is before us, containing the proceedings of
the Second Ward (Washington) Republi
can Club, on the evening of the 10th, upon
the'nomination of Ward Candidates for
the municipal or city election to be held
on the first, Monday of June. The meeting
was coraposwd mainly of darkies with a
sprinkling of radical whites, and among
the latter the Reverend Benjamin B. Em
ory, well kuown to many of our readers.
Benjamin was a preacher in a small way
before the war, and an editor in Wyo
ming County, but obtained an office in one
of the Departments at Washington, about
1861, and has since resided there with his
family. But he has cot altogether neg
lected his duties as a former citizen of this
State. On two or three occasions he
squatted in the Fishing Creek election dis
trict in this County, and swore in his vote
as a resident Benjamin! had peculiar
ideas upon the laws of doinietl, and upon
his rights as a citizen, and he conformed
his conscience to them. While retaining
his doraicii and office at Washington, (and
returning at or.ce after playing elector)
he conceived he could squat down ten days
any where-in Pennsylvania and thereby
secure the right to vote. This was a
grave error, but it belongs to the past.—
We lire too rapidly in these days, under
too much of pressuie, to turn back and re
view small events in our career as a peo
ple, and therefore a great many of the
performances of political preachers among
us in recent years, will soon pass out of
memory, will be forgotten if not forgiven.
Time is, itself a statute of repose, for it
brings for getfulness even where it does
not excite charity.
But Benjamin now emerges frcm bis
late obscurity in a Washington Cleikship,
to become adviser, prompter, guide and
friend of our new "fellow citizens ot Afri
can descent" at Washington, in their clum
sy attempts to exercise the right of suf
frage with which Congress has endowed
tht'm. Hear him at the Club meeting:
"The name of William Rutherford (as
a proposed candidate for Common Coun
cil) was next called up. [Cries of "Who
is he !" "What is he ? ' "We don't know
him. and we don't want him !"] Mr. Lew
is, (colored) Chairman of the Committee,
said that the name of Mr. Rutherford was
satisfactory.
Rev. Mr. Emory said, he (Rutherford)
was a sound Radical. [Voice, "He is a
bully boy !"
"The name of Mr. Rutherford was en
thusiastically endorsed."
It is satisfactory to know that Benjamin
is in the line of duty, and it is to be hoped
that he will in due time obtain, with or
without the aid of the "colored brethren,''
an office still belter than ihe one he now
holds. Such merit his should not be
overlooked ! — Colu'itbinn.
Deacon A., while passing through
his lot the other day, stpoped down to tic
his shoes. A pet ram, which the boys
had tamed, among other things was taught
to regard this posture as extremely offen
sive: lie instantly pitched into the old
gentleman's undefended rear and laid him
full length in a mud hole. Picking him
self up, the Deacon discovered the cause
of his overthrow standing in all the calm
ness and dignity of a conscious victor.—
Ilis rage was boundless, and he saluted
him with the energetic language ;
"You damned old rascal!" '
At that moiuont he caught a glimpse of
the bor.ign face of tiie "minister"' peeping
through the fence, and he instantly added:
"It' I may be allowed tba expression,"
DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES, —At the muni
cipal election in \Villiam<port, Lycoming
county, on the 15th, Dr.W. \V. Logan, the
democratic candidate for mayor was elected
bv 87 majority—a gain of 10 i votes. Last
spring the Radical canidate had 104 major
ity. This is a most signal triumph, and
entitles the Democracy of that little city to
unbounded praise.
On the same day the Democracy of
Wilkes Barre, Luzerne county, elected
Hon. J. B. Stark to the mayoralty over
Col. E. 11. Ilarvey, the present inavor, by
08 majoritv-a gain of 408, Last year Ilar
vevs majority was 400. This is certainly a
surprising and gratifying result, and from it
and siinilat victories elsewhere in the State,
we feci confident that Radicalism will fall
irrecoverably at the next geueral election.
Aud so mole it be.
A couple of old bachelors out West
who lived a so it of c-4 and dog life togeth
er fur a goQd many years, having been to
camp-meeting, were sl'ghtly ennverted, and
both of them concluded to refprm:
" Brother Tom" says one, when they had
arrived at'home "let us sit down and 1 II tell
you what we'll do. You tell me of all my
faults, and I'll you of all yours ; and so we'll
know how to get about mendin' 'em."
" Good" says brother Tom.
44 Well, you begin."
'• No you begin, brother Joe,"
•* Well, in the first place, you know,
brothc Tom, you will lie."
Crack goes brother Tom's big fist be
tween brother Joe's blinkers; and a regular
scrimage ensued, until in the course of
about ten minutes, neither being able to'
come to tiuie, reformation was posponed.
READING TIIEM OUT OF TBE PARTT. —
A late number of the N. Y Tribune says;
"Men who hold that none but Whites
should vote may be well enough m their
place, but there is no room for them in the
Republican party. Every one who stays
in it keeps at least ten voters out of it."
There are some Republicans in this
countrv who have always said they could
Dot stand negro equality, political or socid.
Are they ready to be read out of the
party for not embracing cuffie ? Dou't all
answer at once.
A young lady of Urbana, Illinois,
who was recently caught smoking a cigar
by the "local" of the Gazette of that place,
gave as her reason for the-?ct:
"That it made it smell as though there
was a man aroaod."
Another Negro Riot,
Bill Kelley, the Radical demagogue and
malignant, seems to bs "peddling" blood
shed and murder to the Southern people.
After inciting a riot and bloodshed in New
Orleans, he to<>k his evil way to Mobile,
Alabama, and there spoke on the night of
the 14th iu such a manner as to cause fur
ther rioting, bloodshed and murder. The
following are the telegraphic particulars :
A large number of negroes and a few
whites assembled at the corner of Govern
ment and Royal streets to hear Kelley's
speech. The meeting was very qniet, un
til Kelley, finding the thing tather tame,
commenced abusing the whites, and de
claring that he came to discuss and claim
the rights to which the negroes were en
titled, and that he "bad fifteen regiments
at his back, and if these proved inade
quate the whole United States army
would not." After continuing in this
strain for some time he was interrupted
by a white man in the outskirts of the
crowd. The latter was immediately ar
rested by the police. A shot was then
fired at that point, (it is not known by
whom,) when the negroes, who were all
at once opened an indiscriminate fire upon
the whites, who, as a general thing, were
upon the outside of tbs crowd. A l.rg e
number of shots were fired, chiefly by the
negroes, as the whites were not armed,
having gone to the meeting merely to bear
Kelley's speech. The rioting lasted about
an hour, but was finally quelled by the po
lice before the arrival of companies of the
Fifteenth Regiment. Three white men
and two negroes were killed and a large
number wounded, among them several
policemen.
In this riot we Vave another example
of the workings of the Radical plan of "re
construction."' White men shot down
by niggers because a single white man
dared to taise his voice against the vile
calumnies of a Radical demagogue whose
; falsehoods and black guardiau long ago
made him notorious throughout Pennsyl
vania ! Are the whito masses of the
Northern States prepared for this? Are
the Southern whites to be disfranchised,
despoiled of th<>ir property, driven under
the lash of Radical blackguards, and, alter
being subjected to every indignity which
malice can invent, are. they to be made
targets for lazy, vicious, Bureau-supported
negroes! It is high time for the North
ern masses to take some action in this mat
ter, and that speedily. — Patriot A. Union.
The .Military Reconstruction Bill.
Hon. Henry Clay Dean, of lowa, in a
receut speech. said:
The Reconstruction Bill is the most mon
strous crime of the Christian era
It is a crime against free government in
this—that it disfranchises, without indict
ment, trial, or any process of law, the
learned, intelligent, and highly culti
vated citizens, representing the busi
ness, manufactures, commerce, navigation
and property of eleveu millions of people
who, from time immemorial, have been free.
It is'a crime against civilization in this—
that it transfers the powers legislation and
administrtion from the violently disfran
chised intelect of the country to the will,
passion and violence of the African barba
rians, among them, who" will trample down
those glorious landmarks and eminent tri
umphs of progress which have cost centu
ries of labor, and celebrate tLe genius of
ages.
It is a crime agiiast Christianity in this
-that it trauslcrs the governmen of a
Chci.-ti in pi ople to the control o: a degrade 1
imbecile race of Heathen, who yet retain
the idolatry and superstitions of Heathen
worship.
It is a crime against reason in this—that
it places bayonets in the bands of the un
reasoning rabble, to destroy life, liberty and
property at will, in violation of that estab
lished custom, among savages and civilized
men of commiting the rule of trioes, nations
and kingdoms to the nble3t and purist men.
It is a crime against human nature,
which commits its preservation to its
most elevated and superior races and the
most eminent and trustworthy of every
race ; in this, that it degrades the highest
type of the human family to a subordina
tion to the lowest species of the race of
man.
This reconstiuction Bill is, in its details
and execution, more atrocious than any
usurpation ever exercised by Great Brit
ain over Ireland, bv Russia over Poland,
by Austria over Hungary, cruel and abom
inable as they have beeu, in this—that the
rulers ol these conquered people ware of
the same general race, customs, habits, re
ligion at:d color, while the voters to whom
is committed the rule of the people of the
excluded States, are of a different race,
with uo common sympathies, interest*,
destinies, or hopes.
COULDN'T TELL. —A negro witness was
examined in a Washington city court, to
prove the identity of a white mau, the oth
er day:
District Attorney—"Did you Bee the
man ?" n
"Yes, sar, I seed him •"
"Was he a white man ?"
"Don't know, sar !''
"Do you tell me you saw the man and
can't say whether he was white or black ?"
"Yes, sar, I seed him, but der's so many
white fellers callin' demsclves niggers round
here I can't tell one from tod'er !"
Witness dismissed—explanation satis

days ago, what he thought of the cottou
tax ;
"It's unconstitutional, r, and anuder
