Increase for 1867 over rls66.........sl02,451 90
From tho above it will be seen that
tardtion for the present gear is almost
trebled in sir counties Of the State In
1866 the tax on real and personal
estate for the whole Commonwealth,
including the one-half mill tax, (s39,.
9l4, was 1919, ,25S 90. TSee Auditor
Generals Report for 1861 From
this the reader may easily guess the
grand total which the Radical officials
hope TO wrest from the taxpayers
something like $4,000 90! ftmay
as well be remarked that the tax on
real estate, which was remitted by
the Legislature in 1866, seems not TO
have been taken off for 1867, as the
general assessment for this year is
the same as that for 1866. Are the
people prepared for these gigantic
burdens
But, this is not all. Those same
Radical officials authorized State
loan af tnenJy-tnr0v million dollars,
with which TO pay off a similar debt.
They made their loan free from State
tax, and agreed to pay six per cent.
interest. This is TO go to cancel the
old loan upon which the State had
always levied tax. By this scheme
the State is directly robbed of an an
nual sum of fully $3.50, 200, and nobody
but Radical politicians of capital are
the gamers.
Can the people stand such course
of depletion of State revenues on the
one hand and increase of taxation
upon the otherY They cannot. Itis
impossible There must be retrench-
ment-there must be reform-there
must be great change made in the
Legislature. For four years, during
which the Radical politicians have de-
nominated, matters have gone from
bad to worse, until the people are
fairly groaning beneath the burden
of taxation. If the people do not
make n change at once, a grievous
poll tax, and grinding revenue and
income tax, like those levied by the
Federal Government, wall become alb
solutely necessary to raise money
enough to satisfy the rapacious crav-
ings of the Radical politicians. These
are simply "words of soberness and
truth and if the people are wise they
will heed them ana give the subject
that attention which it demands

Hard on IFis Friends.

The New Haven Courier seoms TO
have very low appreciation of its
clerical supporters in the Legislature
In an article explaining the causes Of
the inefiiciency Of that body, at its re-
cent session, il says -
with nine c,ergymen in its suite,
a majority Of ton or twelve is prac.
tical minority in Connecticut Legis-
laturc. Whom ministers 90 outside
their calling, and seek the honors OF
the political arena, they not only fail
themselves but sacrifice their party.
They are the easy dupes of shrewd 20
litical antagonists and the delight OF
the political lobbyists. Unfortunate
ly, the whole Black) Republican ma
jority in the House, was composed of
ministers-honest, intelligent and ear
nest men, but unskilled and impracti-
cable politicians They not only dis
organized their party, but failed to ac-
complish any of the great moral re-
forms on which they had set their
hearts.

MARsHALLING MS FORCES.
dell Phillips appears to have the indis.
puted leadership of the Jacobin party
since Greeley fell from grace. Phil.
lips has made a speech on the crises, in
which he predicts another civil war.
The Express thinks he is a proper man
to hold such opinions, as he was a
peace man in war and a war man in
peace, and never lost a drop of blood,
or gave dollar out of his abundance,
TO put down the rebellion.
The philippe Phillips informs his
followers, that they will not do their
duty until "the name of black man
has been placed upon tho ballot for
Vice President for the purpose of
Strengthening the party" There can
be no question but that this arrange
ment would make the Jacobins
"strong." But his political pupils
may inquire, why not put the strong
man first, and so get the whole bene-
fit Of the infusionl

GcnernI Pon,,s Leffcr.

We are surprised at General Pope's
letter TO General Grant, not at his
proposal TO imprison or exile all who
support the Constitution and strive 70
restore the Union in the South, for TO
prevent such restoration is the precise
purpose he and hisa army are sent there,
but at his evident belief in the creed OF
his lunatic masters. He honestly be-
lieves that they can make new world,
and reconstruct" society on a Mon
grel basis, and TO work out this prob
lem, to equalize those whom God has
made unequal, TO reverse the order of
nature-in word, TO sot the Creator
aside and perfect the "anti-slavery en-
terprise," he deems it necessary to ex-
lie all who believe in God instead of
Abe Lincoln We had supposed that
he belonged to that huge crowd, who,
for mere pay and pelf, did the work OF
the Abolition lnnatics, without any
belief or conscience whatever, who, as
long as they are well paid, made Ma
jor-Generals, and live in luxury, are
utterly Indifferent 10 the welfare of
the country, and whether the Union
was restored or the country drifted
into the social anarchy, rottenness and
death OF Mexico and Jamaica, is (to
them) Of no consequence whatever.
But We did General Pope an injustice
He really has belief a conscience, a
Soul, though he is not content with il,
and strives his utmost to blacken IT,
IIo really believes in tho Mongrel the
ory, that whites and negroes eau be
amalgamated together and society i'm
proved by this amalgamation, but
tindsl that General Hill, Gov. Perry,
and all other Americans that are fit
TO live on Gods fair earth a single
hour, are opposed to his efforts 10
Mongrelize the country, and therefore
he says they must be exiled, and tho
country given over to the niggers,
white and black, or reconstruction"
must be a failurel Well, he is right,
entirely right-all who respect the
Constitution, that desire the restora-
AiNh VI ehV CniOtl, blldl iONC uDtTll,
that wish to preserve our Republican
institutions, must be silenced, impris-
oned or exiled, or reconstruction on
a Mongrel basis must needs be failure,
Furthermore, not only must the great
body of white men be silenced, but
God Himself must be set aside, and
nature reconstructed, before the Gre
construction" scheme of Mr.. Pope
and his hackers can be successful.
But the people, the masses, whose in
stincts revolt at smalgaination, or at
tempted amalgamation, with the sooty
and contaminated negro, will wake
up one ofthese days, and then it were
better for the Garrisons, and Abe Lin
coins, and John Popes, that they new
er had been born, or like their old lead
er, Preston King, they had a milestone
about their necks and were drowned
in the sea. The insult to the popular
intelligence, the actual presence OF a
vast army in the South fer the sole
purpose Of preventing the restoration
of the Union, after sacrificing a million
of lives, professedly TO restore it, is so
gross, so audacious, the object in view
so impious, blasphemous, atheistic, de-
structive and devilish, that mankind
will tremble at the punishment of
these criminals for q thousand years

over the triumph of the Governor,

alluding to the defeated party;
plunged in gulf Of deep despair, the wrcichcd

We would suggest to the organ in

to say impolitic in it, to expose the

The suggestion of Lord Pope to
General Grant, to arrest or Danish
certain statesmen of tho South, in
order to get the people of that section
to vote the Black Republican ticket,
should attract a heavy club or brick
bat on his cahbash. If an official
should utter sentiment or suggestion
like this in our presence, we would
merely spit in his face, to ascertain
whether he was in earnest, or only
joking.

CLEANING OUT THE STABLES. Gen.
Grant and the Secretary of the Treas.
ury have, within two weeks, dismiss
ed over 200 clerks, 60 of whom were
females. The General has, since he
took charge of the War Department,
also relieved about thirty gentlemen
of their shoulder straps, who had
been retained by Stanton around the
War Office as ornaments and to bleed
the Treasury. 1t is the ornamental
soldiers who howl after Grant, and
those loyalists who fought so bravely
during the war-by substitutes. The
real soldiers maintain a gentlemanly
department towards their chief.

The RELIGIOUS ASSASSIN. That
celebrated clerical demagogue, Beech
er, few days ago, gave his congre-
cation a sermon on "the oppressed
Cretans," over which he and his reli-
gious bond-holders shed many croc-
odile tears, while the Rev. gospeller
rehearsed the wrongs and expressions
of Crete, Italy, Poland and Ireland.
He called for contribution, in money
and prayers, for these people, exclaim-
ing; at is a duty for humanity's
A" sake, il is duty for the highest
moral motives, to sympathize with
them"
1t is a great pity the man don't
know that his neighbors beyond the
Potomac are suffering far greater
wrongs than those in Europe. Char
ity should always begin at home.

A ConrDfainf.

We have received communication
from Western gentleman, who is
now visiting New York for the first
time. He wishes TO know why, if the
churches are closed on Sundays, the
beer gardens are not kept open. He
argues that one or the other place Of
resort should be at the disposal of the
public, and further inquiries whether
it is true that, during the summer re
cess, the clergy write novels and plays,
and thus approximate Nero, who fid-
died while Rome was burning. He
also desired some information as to
what must be the estimate placed up
on ministerial labors so readily aban-
doned for season, and suggests ms
our churches are closed, we 90 back
to the primitive mode and have open
air preaching. To all these irrever-
ent inquiries, we can but answer, that
were the churches kept open during
the summer months, common people
might get into them, and that there
might thus linger tinge of the lowly
about the cdifces, such as would sad
ly decomposc the aristocracy upon
their resumption of worship. Then
what would Brown do were the church
es kept open during the Questionable
season The Western gentleman had
better 90 back where they worship all
seasons alike, if he finds fault with our
way of attending to this mattor.-N.

Lying Jack Pope has invented "a
now plan of rooonstruotion." Disffau-
chising southern leading men will not
answer. They must be banished-
exiled. Pope's plan is neat and sim
pie. All white men who will herd
with niggers are loyal, and can stay
in the country. All who will not arc
to be banished. The minority are try
ing to rule the majority, but as they
fear they can't succeed in doing it,
they will Danish the majority That
is, one third will exile the two thirds
of the American people Pope ought
to have leather medal or-something
else. The latter would be better.

We are highly gratified to learn
that the Democrats of Huntingdon,
Mifiiin and Juniata, have renominated
Col. John s. Miller. He was duly
elected in this black district last fall,
but was cheated out of his seat by the
loyal "Plug Uglies." Mr.. Miller will
make a useful member, and the Dis
unionists win not leave stone un-
turned to defeat him again.
