debt, leaving the balance S3S, S,633, 1872 tron
which, however, $l0,300,000 of bonds Of

debt only $2S, S,333,79l. 1t is expected thai
next year, by the operations of our sinking.
fund system, without any additional State
taxation, at least S1,0O0,OOO of our State
debt will be paid. This fattering condition
of our finances reflects great credit upon
the administration of Governor Curtin. and
Will be highly satisfactory to the people,
not only because it foreshadows the extinc-
ton OF our debt, but because it illustrates
how readily the growing wealth of a commu-
nifty practically diminishes the burden of
governmental Indebtedness TWENTY-FIVE
years ago it was feared that our people
would be crushed by the liabilities of our

citizen, and it is gradually being paid
without inconvenience to our people.

The NeWi,AristocracY."

Ever since our Democratic friends
blundered at Chicago by declaring that
the ''war was failure" and were so hand
somely whipped on that platform, they
have been casting around fora new record.
We do not pretend to follow their various
shifting changes of policy, but only to no.
tice the last Wherever Democratic
Convention meets we are sure to have to
speech about the Bond Aristocrats, and a
demand that Government securities shall
submit to the tax imposed upon State
and local corporations. The poor people
are told that the National Loan is an ex-
elusive privilege conferred by the Govern
ment upon its supporters, and that the
possessor of bonds is an aristocrat-an
enemy of the people, free from taxation
that Expresses the poor man, and allowed
to grow rich and fat while they lowly
starye. There is no knowing the mischief
these clamors may create. A similar cla.
NOR about the Conscription caused the
riot in New Y ork, although three months
had not passed before these who shouted
eyes, Yes," were just as loudly shouting
"Nay, Nay"
There are three points to be observed
in reply to all this:
[. Congress has no more right under
the Constitution to allow States to tax
National securities than it has to allow
them to tax gold and silver coin, or legal
tenders, or Government ships and cannon,
The Government has the right to levy
war, and raise money without consulting
local Legislatures. To deny them this
right would be to make the Legislature
of any State or the corporation of any city
superior to the National Legislature.
II. Even if this constitutional restric,
tion did not exist, we were so placed when
we raised these loans that money could
only be had by extra inducements. So
we offered large interest, and made
much of this prvviso that the bonds bore
no tax, other than the regular income
tax paid by internal revenue. We were
very glad to get it on these terms. The
Copperheads never proposed to offer us

Important Surgical Operation.

DR.. A. Reeves Jackson of this borough
whose reputation as a skilfull surgeon,
stands SO deservedly high throughout the
county, added another laurel to his pro-
fessional brow, on the 3lst ult., by skill
ful and successful operation for the reno.
val of tumors from the abdomen, perform
ed upon the person of Miss Sarah Took
The young lady had been sufferer for
years, and at times run down so low that
her lite was despaired Of Her sufferings
are said to be indescribable, and often
expressed herself that death would be a
relief to her. The unfinching courage
at last led her to insist upon resort tC
the on y mode of relief remaining to heI
"a surgical operation. DR.. jackson
who was her physician also, expressed q
willingness to perform the operation, but
candidly told her that though there was
a chance of her surviving it, the chances
were altogether against her. Notwith.
standing this vague assurance of success
full result, she still insisted upon the per.
formance Of the operation, and on the day
named above the Doctor, in presence OF
Drs. Bond, Bush, Yelling, Barnes, sgd
enham Walton, d. d. Walton, Davis
Williams and Mr.. Van Buskirk, medical
student, most skilfully performed. Some
idea Of the immensity of the operation
may be formed when we state the fact
that the belly had to be cut open suf-
fciently to permit the egress of a tu-
NOR weighing Ia pounds and of cyst
with thick walls filled with a white gela-
tinus fluid, weighing 6 pounds, which in
their separation from vital parts required
the utmost skill, united with the strength
of the operator. The most astonishing
connection of the operation is that the pa
tent, so long bound down with disease,
should have survived its performance
She is, however, we are pleased to learn,
rapidly recovering, and gives promise of
soon becoming health restored memento
of what surgical science, in skilfull hands,
under good Providence can be made to
do. Words are inadequate to full meas
urement of the credit which should be
bestowed upon DR.. Jackson, for this most
successful and brilliant effort.

a Timely Hint.

AS the fall elections will soon be com

by virtue of the proclamation of the Pres
ident, Of March 10, issued in conformit,
to law of Congress. dated March Sd
1868, all persons duly enrolled who de
parted from the Jurisdiction of the dis
trlcts in which they were enrolled, OF
went beyond the limits of the United
States to avoid the draft are prohibited
trcm exercising the elective franchise. 1t
will be the duty of officers to enforce this
penalty IN all cases at the coming Octo-
Der election.
