NEW.JERSEY.

The Republican. Union nominations for Congress
were yesterday completed by the selection in the LIST
District Of WILLIAM MOORE esq, of Atlantic County.
Mr.. Moore is an eminent and estimable citizen, who
has been q jealous Republican from the organization
of the party, and will faithfully represent it in the
XLth Congress- His election is beyond doubt.
The candidates in nomination and the vote Of the
several Districts in 1854 are as follows:
Dist Rep Uaion. Vote in "a. Democratic Vote In "a
l. William Moore ..--....l2,093 None yet.......lOl26

V. George A. Hasey. T. y. r. Wrshr 10, 800
'NOtyet nominated. bu, sure to be.
AT the election of 1865 Gov Ward carried the
With District handsomely, and was only beaten 80
votes in the WITH. Our friends in the With have no
doubt of eectng Mr. Halsey, while those in the WITH
feel great confidence in their ability to giveM Hill
majority over Jack Rogers Mr.. Davidson is canvass
ing the Hid. most effectively, and believes he can
carry it, As to the Ist and lid Districts, the only
question is as to the magnitude Of the Republican
Union majorties.
OF the usually close counties. Camden, Essex,
Onion. and Somerset have now to choose Senators
for three years. in place Of one Republican and three
Democrats, and our friends hope to reverse the
figures, securing them majority in the Senate for at
least two years to come. (The present Senate stands
II to 10). As to the Assembly, they last year
changed majority Of against them to one Of 10 for
them, and they expect to improve on this next
November. Gov. Wards majority last year was
2,759; they expect TO increase this now to 5000.
Best of all, New-Jersey, which was formerly fos-
siliferous, is now one of the most heartily Radical
States iu the Union. Politicians who very few
months since, were trying hard to be Johnsonites, at
the same time that they passed for pretty good Re-
publcans, are to-day ahead Of The TRIBUNE in Radi-
calism and still Qke John Browns souD marching
on" Common schools, good newspapers and public
discussion, are fast making New-Jersey one of the
souudest Of the Old Thirteen.

Virginia papers The State debt Of old Virginia is
about S42, O0O 600; the assets, in the hands Of the
State Treasurer consisting principally of railroad
stocks, amount to about Sl5,OOO,OOO; the present
population of the State is about one and quarter
nillions-of these half million are freedmen. The

aOLD BuMBLEBEE," was the cognomen o.
Mr.. t., of Newburyport. He gained the title
from the fact of his catching bumblebee one
day, while he was shingling his barn, and in
attempting to destroy the insect with hatch
ct cut off the ends. of his thumb and foreGn-
ger, letting the insect go unharmed. Uncle
T., in one of his oblivioUs freaks, nailed his
left arm so firmly between two boards of q
fence he was putting up, that he had to call
for assistance to get extricated from his self.
Imprisonment. He once put button on a
gate instead ola post. But the rarest freak
OF all was when he ran through the streets,
with his hands about three feet asunder, held
before him, begging the passers by not to
disturb him, as be had got the measure ofthe
doorway with him.
The above history of Mr.. Bumblebee is in
complete, in that it is not stated that he COM
menced at the comb ofhis barn, and shingled
the roof downward.

"Too MANY Irons IN THE FIRE.-There was
never better illustration of the folly of at
tempting forty things at once, than the fol-
lowing from Detroit paper: "a country
man visiting the city, recently, attempted to
carry two pigs under one arm, a coop oi
chickens under the other, and aquart Of eggs
in his coat-tail pocket. The beginning oI
his troubles was to drop one of the diminu-
tive porkers, which shot around the corner
like creased lightning. He laid the coop on
the other to hold it down, and started in pur-
suit, returning victorious to find the pig re-
leased by the benevolent action of an old
SOW, which upset the coop and freed the prs
oner. Imprisoning the other in like manner
he started in pursuit, again, and ir the
course of about twenty minutes, loomed up
with piggy number two under his arm. By
this time number one had wigged out, and
was gone again; when be was so enraged
that he sa: down on the eggs unawares, and
smashed them. Espying the truant in q
neighboring street, he dashed after him, tum-
bled over gutter-plate and saw his porcine
tormeAtors disappear under a barn with q
f1irt of their short tails. Vending his way
sorrowfully back to the coop, he arrived in
time to see the last of his bidGies disappear
over picket fence in the distance, released
by the mischief of some malicious boys that
sat on the curbstone and asked him what he
was looking for. When last seen, he was
using his best endeavors to trade the coop for
bottle of lemon pop, making the best OF
adverse circumstances.

Increase of Public Burdens.

A late New York Tribune, referring to a
bill which had been introduced into the
United States Sepate by Judge Poland, OF
Vermont, fixing the salaries of District
Judges of the United States, thus remarks:
"We most earnestly protest against its passage.
It involves needless and unjust increase of the
public burdens at time when they are already
heavier than are or ever were borne by any Thirty
Millions of people on earth. Adding our State
and Municipal to our National taxes, and they
amount to not penny less than $40 each per
annum for the whole American people, one
eighth of whom have just emerged, ignorant and
penniless, from the prison house OF slavery, while
another eighth have been fearfullY impoverished
by the rayages of desolating Civil War; 1t is
monstrous that, at such crisis, SO many should
lie contriving to saddle them with new and heavier
burdens"
As we have already said, the above is from
that fountain of purity and Radicalism, the
New York Tribune. We have repeatedly as
serted that the "burdens or taxes, of the
Americas people, are now "heavier than are
or ever were borne by any other Thirty Mil
lions of people on earth - but some have
doubted this averment. We hope, however,
now that it is made by the Trlbnne-a jour-
nal that is, and has been most intensely
sloyal,' and sUnion-loving that all doubts
will be finally and forever removed. Let it
be bazoned to the world, then, that our
taxes, in the aggregate, "amount 10 not a
penny less than $40 each per annum for the
whole American people," one-eighth of
whom are ignorant and Penniless blacks,
while another eighth. though possessing
white skins have been fearfuly impover-
ished by the ravages of desolating Civil
War;"
IL is q rule in politics to hold the party in
mower responsible for ell malfeasances in
Office, aud for all expenditures of money
made while holding the reins of Government.
And this is a just rule, too; particularly
when the Congress Of the United States has
a good majority holding the same political
views of the President. We therefore hold
the Radical party responsible for the enor-
NOUS public debt saddled upon the country
a burden which, according to the Tribune, is
already heavier than was ever borne by any
other Thirty Millions of people on earth. 1t
ia at least Four Billions of dollars. 1t must
he paid. Reputation is neither practicable
NOR nossible. We have to face the music
The 6ddlers have iddled and they must now
be paid. There is no getting over. oraround,
or urder this; and the sooner we all settle
down into this belief the better for all inter-
ested Remember, Laboring Man, as you
bend your back to the burden, or drive your
draw, or swing the Ak, or hold the plough, or
SOW the seed, or sweat over the anvil, that
the taxes of this country, when under Demo-
cratic rule, were always light; and that now,
the country having been in the hands OF the
Radicals for the last fve years, our pubic
debt Is greater-our public burdens are
heavier than are or ever were borne BY any
other Thirty Millions Of PleoPle on earth
