The National Debs.

The National debt is beiDg reduced at
the rate of one hundred and Hjrty-tfce
millions Of dollars per gear 4 reduction
Ike this, so soon after a great war, which
had driven large bodies Of iaboring men
and mechanics from the producing inter
est OF the country, nay be justly regarded
as wonderful achievement and when
the wealth and productions of a country
restored to peace and fully engaged In all
its enterprises, are once properly brought
to bear on cur National indebtness, its
present rate of reduction will increase
two-fold. 1t is thought the Internal rev.
enue will cover all expenses of tho Gov
ernment for 1866, if estimates for other
OF the navy. The expenditures of that
calculation, exclusive of interest upon
the public debt, will not exceed SlO0,-
100000 FOR the year. These are cheer
ing facts, exhibiting and establishing not
merely the economy as we'll as ability of
those at the head OF the Government, but
affording ample proof of the wonderful
resources of the country. While politi-
clans and abstractionists are fostering the
people with their theories on reconstruc
ton, the evidence of the country's speedy
resumption of prosperity is a sublime tes-
timony of the confidence felt by practical
men in the policy of the President
Were it not fact that the business and
meu Of the country, those
who make up its real prosperity, have the
utmost confidence in the practicability of
the policy of President johnson, means
for this immense present and prospective
reduction of the National debt would not
be forthcoming.

The Pacific Railroad.

This great enterprise is not dropped.
though, owing TO the greater impor-
tance of matters near at hand, We hear
less of it than would otherwise be the
case. Engineers are at work on the Pa
clhc end, as we'll as on the route from
Nevada eastward, and it is announced
that their efforts to discover practical
opening through the Sierra Nevada
mountains have been finally crowned with
success. The location was all that re-
malned before a very energetic move
ment began in California. The Sierra
Nevada stretches along the eastern bound
airy OF the State, between California and
Nevada, from Tulare county to Oregon.
Its southern extension runs into the coast
range. The Sierra is lofty, rugged and
lnhospi.able, with few passes available
tor railway use. The engineers now au-
nounce, however, that they have discov
cred spot whore they can construct a
road from The summit OF the mountains
to Tucker river, on grade not exceeding
ninety feet per mile. The most san
guine had expected one hundred and FIVE
feet. This discovery will be felt by the
enterprise IN a favorable manner, and will
tend to make the construction earlier as
well as easier. The opening leads natur-
ally to Salt Lake City, which was way
station On the route originally proposed,
as 1t Is Tor the mail road to-day
Those who have an interest In this
gigantic undertaking, which daily seems
to assume new strength AMI more sub
stance, will be glad to learn that so many
months of exploration in an uncongenial
region have been crowned with success,
and that the grade is so much less than
was expected. The difficulties to be en-
eountered in the range threading Utah
and Colorado are far inferior to those in
the Sierra Nevada and from Utah the
work Of construction is comparatively
easy 1t Is probable that the discovery
just made will give new life to the under
taking, and that an effort which is encour-
aged BY both extremes of the country.
aud telt to De o. paramount importance
by all, Sill now be pushed more cnsrgeti-
caIy. When we connect what has been
done in California with what is done aud
being done from the banks OF the Missis
sippl westward, we have reason to believe
that, vast as the effort is, it may yield be-
fore vlgor and energy, and that We may
soon hear of the more active progress of
the greatest engineering work of the age

The Black MANS Moses.

The declaration of President johnson
to MIR. George L. Stearns, that if he were
IN Tennessee, he would be an advocate of
negro suffrage, is in strict accord with his
former record. In speech to vast as
semblage of negroes at Nashville, October
z4th, 1864, proclaiming freedom to their
race, he said
"LookiDg at this vast crowd of colored
people, and rejecting through what a
storm OF persecution and obloquy they
are compelled 10 pass, | am almost in
duced to wish, that, as in the days of old,
a Moses might arise who should lead
them safely to their promised land of
freedom and happiness"
You are our Noses" shouted several
voices, and the exclamation was caught
up and eheered until the capitol ruug
again.
"God," continued the speaker, eshas 10
doubt somewhere prepared All instrument
Tor the great work which he designs to
perform in behalf of this outraged people,
and in due time your leader will come
forth your Moses will be revealed to
you"
"We. want no Moses but you," again
shouted the crowd
"Well, then" replied the speaker,
"humble and unworthy as | am, if no
other and better shall! be found, will
indeed be your Moses, and lead you thro'
the Red sea of war and bondage to a fairer
future of liberty and peace. l speak now
as one who feels the world, his country,
and all who love equal rights his friends.
l speak, too, as a citizen of Tennessee
L am here on my own soil, and here [
mean to stay and fight this great battle OF
truth and justice to triumphant end
Rebellion and Slavery shall, by Gcd's
good help, no longer pollute our State
Loyal men, tchether scItite or black, shall
alone control her destiaies and, when this
strife in which we are all engaged is past,
[ trust, l know we shall have better
state of things, and shall all rejoice that
honest labor reaps the fruit of its own
industry, and that every man has fair
chance in the race of ife."

The Dem. Dc Sent. Of last week con-
tanned leader wherein was attempted to
be proved that Republican profession of
love for the soldier is at variance with
Republican practice. The leader in ques-
ton was labored one, and, as it apread
It's proportions over full column of that
paper, must have consumed several hours
in the production. 1t is we'll written as
as is usual with Democratic leaders, and
contained several very fac quotations.
We do not here iud fault with its style,
which might be better and might lie
worse. But we do take exception to the
article in that 1t is a tissue Of falsehood
and Misrepresentation from beginning to
end. Whence, We argue that the time
spent in grinding it out was worse than
lost-it was squandered in doing that
which is absolutely wrong
The article hinges upon the following
passages :
Sin the Senatorial district composed of the
counties of Armstrong, Butler and Lawrence,
Nhlcn is strongly hepuDIcan, there were
three candidates seeking the nomination
Arms rong county presented Lieut.. Col Jack
son, of the llth Pa. Reserves. Butler
county presented Gen. j. N. Purviance, per-
sonally gentleman, but politically rene
ga1e Democrat. Lawrence county de-
manded the recognition of her claims in the
nomination of the Rev. j. Audley Brown. We
know nothing about the antecedents of this
Rev. politician, never having beard of him
before his advent into the political arena =
We presume he is a model brick, of that class
of political preachers in the North who have
habitually diShOnored their profession by
preaching political sermons and by hurting
from the pulpit the thund erbolts Of their
wrath against the South. We have no doubt
he acted well his part in sowing the seeds of
sectional haired and strife, and thus usher
ing in the rebellion, and that he cla; ned and
is to receive seat in the State Senate as the
legitimate reward for services rendered to the
party of progress and great moral ideas.'-
Like the braggart in the play, he could call
spirits from the vastly deep and the sequel
proved that be did not call in vain, for Rev
j. AuGley Brown received the nomination
over the renegade Democrat J. N. Purviance
and the gallant Colonel Jackson, and is now
a potent, grave and revel end Senator.

way o! distancing them in ''the wild chase

ly be mortifying to Wallace, who has thus
become an object of pity and commisera-
ton. We have no doubt that his late

At the same time they must feel that
their champion is ''laid on the shelf for

From the Cye0rfeyd journal I
BKfgAtcd Political PROSPECTS

From the time he entered the State
Senate, William a. Wallace was regarded
by many Of his party as a rising man.
His ranic and defiant course, on all meas.
ures i'll which paItizan views were involved,
seemed to point him out as the leader OF
a desperate cause, and drew around him a
class of tricksters, who, like Macawber,
were "va;ting for something to turn up, :"
and who, in order to gain favor in his
eyes, set about fattering him in manner
well calculated to have its desired effect
upon an otherwise unsusceptible and sell
fish nature. The effect was to excite
Wallace's ambition, and, impressed with
his own Importance, bright visions, in the
shape of ample Gubernatorial chairs, or
coy seats In the Hall of the United
States Senate, doubtless, fitted athwart
his mental horizon. Such feelings once
aroused, it was Only following frail human
instinct to attempt their realization. The
craftsmanship of the Democratic State
Central Committee was evidently consid-
cred good lever to be used in such an
enterprise. Having secured that, Il was
but reasonable to suppose that Wallace
cast about to ascertain where and how he
could make '.strike" which would con-
firm the high-vrought expectations of his
needy admirers. That the defeat of Harry
White for Senator in the Indiana districC,
and Morton McMichael as Mayor OF Phil
adelphia, were embraced in his calcula-
tions, can scarcely be doubted. The elec-
ton cf Davis and Linton had propably
assumed In his mind the form of a fixed
fact, and his bright anticipa tions, could,
in the course of time, be gratifed if he
willed it. But, alas how true that
'The best laid plans of mice and men,
Gang aft aglay."
The result Of the election on the Second
Tuesday of Octooer, perversely vould
hare at that White and McMichael were
elected, and that the State was carried
with largely increased Republican ma
jor;ty. Nor is this the most unpalatable
feature for Wallace. He is charged by
his party with having made tame and
ipiritless fght-that be failed to awaken
he enthusiasm of the rank and file by
Holding too few mass meetings-that the
lefeat of Judge Woodward's son in Lu-
ierne could have been averted-that he
hould have managed his own household,
ind choked DR.. Boyer off the track 10 his
lwn county, and thus enabled Kennedy
Blood to colonize from Clearfeld and Elk
counties enough votes to have overcome
Whites majority in Indiana. In short
III the casualties, real and imagined,
which have befallen his party, are heaped
lpon his devoted head. As matter of
ourse, Heister Clymer, and other aspi-
ants for Gubernatorial honors, who have
rown envious of Wallace, are rather
Ileased at the discontinue of the Chair

knowing him not, neither personally nor
by reputation, the Dem. q; Sent could
still go on and take it for granted that the
Rev. j. Audley Brown is "elerical dem
agogue' and dishonor TO his profession.
Shame! shame
Let US enlighten the Dem. d: Sent. as 10
the "antecedents" of Mr. Brown. With
reference TO his reputation in the pulpit,
1t Is unnecessary for US to speak-the
mud thrown by the Dem. Dc Sent cannot
but fall from his garments as snow But
it is concerning him as a man that we have
to do. Some time after the war had com
menced, and when his maligner was pos
sibly plotting treason in dark cellar, it
was found that more men were REQUIRED
TO put down tho rebellion. Who rushed
to respond to the call of the country p
The Dem. d; Sent man? Not much TO
use one of his own quotations. it was
"calling spirits from the vasty deep" so
tar as he was concerned. But we will tell
you who Gid respond. The ReU. J AuR-
ley Bro9n responded. As Chaplain of
Pennsylvania regiment he FASTENED to the
field, and for nearly three years did his
full part toward bringing our "erring
Southern brethren" to proper realization
of their duties toward the Union. Not
only did he well and faithfully perform
his Legitimate duties as Chaplain by min
lsterlng to the sick, wounded, and dying,
but In the field of battle, where bullets
fell the thickest and blows rained the fas
test, ne was not unfrequentiy found, like
the noble Chaplain of the 18th Penusyl-
vanla Volunteers, our own Christy, with a
musket on his shoulder He returned
home at the expiration of his term of en-
lstment, crowned with honors, and we
have the Dem. 6 tSent's own word for it
that 1t was Laurence county (and not Mr.
Brown himself) that demanded has noni-
nation for Senator, as a recognition of his
services.
And this is the man whom the Dem. G
Sent. has been scofing at and calling hard
names. This is the man who is termed
'clerical demagogue," and whose "servi-
ces" are so heartily ridiculed. Shame
again 1t appears to be a well-defned
part of the policy of Democracy to Willy
the Northern clergy but in this instance,
1t must be confessed, the vilifcation CLAN
ces harmlessly from the object at which
it is aimed, and recoils with ten-fold
force upon the head of the vilifier Un-
der the circumstances, seeing that it is
guilty OF the most outrageous slander and
defamation, we think it as little as the
Dem. d Sent could do to publicly beg
the reverend geEtleman's pardon, and
place on record its promise to sin in like
manner no more. 1t is its duty so to do.
and the world swill expect it. And thus
1t may learn lesson as to the impropri-
ETY. of "presuming" things, which may
be of service to it in the future.
In the same connection, it might add.
that, SO far as its individual efforts are
concerned, the attempt to demonstrate
the professions of the Republican party at
variance with its practice has proved
signal failure
The Ebensburg Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1865-1871, 1865-11-09


of the Copperhead ticket. Their appeals
and overtures to the soldiers, to induce
these brave men to JOIN them, were alb
solutely disgusting. They expressed great
fears that the Union party would ruin
the country; and that, 100, just after the
Union party had saref It, Beyond this,
they seemed to have no rallying cry ex-
cept the "nigger." That, indeed, was
their principal stock in trade. Their
chronic hatred OF the unfortunate black
man was unquestionably more intense
during the last campaign than in any
previous one. Always the fast friends of
Slavery, they vainly sought to conceal
their indignation over the fact of It's ex-
tinction, But they were compelled to
recognize that as an accomplished and un-
changeable result, and hence their oppo-
sItlon to Sambo must needs be organized
IN diferent shape. They insisted on
making negro suffrage an issue of the
campaign, and before the election boasted
that they had 80 efectually pinned it
down upon our party, that there was no
escape from it. Assuming this position
to be true, we cordially wish them hap
Ply time in contemplating the verdict just
rendered by the people.
The Copperheads counted largely for
success on the supposed apathy of the
Union men. But that spirit of loyalty
and patriotism which had distinguished
itself in the thickest of our troubles, had
not yet commenced to slumber. II could
not, and would not undertake to compete
with the enemy i'll falsehood, slander, and
election corruption, but relying on a just
cause, it could defeat them with honest,
manly blows and most nobly did it COM
mence aud end its work. The honest
yeomanry of the State could not stand by
party which had not stood By the country
They knew how hollow were its professions,
and how thin the veil which covered its
corruption, and they could not vote with
an organization which stood ready to hug
10 its bosom, and make common cause
with the vilest traitors of the land-which
would seek to deprive us of the legitimate
fruits of the war, and which if it were in
their power, would plunge the Nation in
to the depths Of reputation and ruin.
Happily our convention had nominated
ticket combining every element of
strength. 1t was made mp of men, true to
the great principles for which they had
drawn their swords, and it faithfully re-
fected the sentiments and impulses of the
loyal heart of our great State. It was
emphatically ticket of the people, By the
people, and for the people; it was the
Legitimate offspring of patriotism, and not
the mere spawn of debauched and de-
based partisanship. Around Hartranft
and Campbell, the loyal citizens and sol
diers rallied in their might, and they have
borne them into power by an overwkelm-
ing majority. Let the people rejoice =
The cause of Liberty and Law has tri-
umphed, and Copperheadism has again
been rebuked.
