sY- The following, from the New YORK
Tribune, sums up the position of the demo-
cratrc party, of the present day-a position
that would make such old fashioned demo
Gratis as Jefferson, Madison and jackson
blush. Under Jefferson and jackson, the
democracy was the war party, ready to re-
sent every insult, under the present leaders
they are the peace party, ready to submit
even to o dissolution of the Union, in order
to appease their rebel brethren + ..t
p PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY. I'd
The address of the Democratic State Com
mittee OF Pennsylvania has one merit-it Is
short. But, brief as tits, it contains almost
as many false assertions as sentences, ana Is
a specimen of the very worst kind OF polltl-
cal trickery. All the evils of the war-the
loss of life, taxation, debt, high prices, pa.
per currency--arc enumerated as the direct
work of the Republican party. Not WORD
is said of tho Rebellion. We wonder what
stuff Democratic State Committee can be
mado Of which gravely submits such an Or
gument as this to the people,
:, 1t is true that We have great debt, which
bears as heavily upon Republicans as on
IL
taxed to pay it; it is true that prices are
high, that the currency is deprecated. All
this we know and lament; but it is also
true that we owe these evils, fret, to the
Rebels, and second, to the Democratic par
ty, and wholly to their combined efforts to
destroy tho Union. 1t seems almost absurd
to repeat these truths, for DO ingenuity will
ever conceal the great fact that tho South
rebclled, that the Democratic party sympa-
thized with rebellion, and that the Rcpub-
lican party directed and maintained the
War for the Union, and brought 1t to tri-
umphant end. 1t is notorious that the Re-
publican party directed and maintained the
War for the Union, and brought it to tri-
umphant end. 1t is notorious that the Re-
bells depended for aid upon the Democratic
party; that the official action of that party
was hailed in the South as an encourage
ment to persist in rebellion; that if it had
not been for Democratic opposition the war
would have ended years, perhaps, before 1t
did, and that the debt and oil our national
evils would now be immeasurably less. There
10 nothing palmer than that the Democratic
party---next to the Rcbels--is responsibc
for the war and tho misfortunes that have
| followed it. We repeat, therefore, that to
compare the rate of taxation in 1860 with
the rate in 1866, in proof that the Republi
can party has mismanaged the finances
without word of reference to the war, is
simply the meanest kind of political trickery
and certain to damage the cause it was
meant to help. This address is insulting tc
the intelligence of the reader, and slandei
of the North, for the Republican party anc
the North Throughout the war were one anc
indivisible. It is all the loyal States that
this Democratic Committee accuses OF tyran
ny, and hatred, and corruption.

LOTTERY SCHEMES AND GIFT
ENTERPRISES.

The law enacts severe penalties to be i'm
posed on persons engaged in gambling,
whether by cards, dice, lottery, OF by that
moro transparent humbug and lottery
scheme, sometimes called "gif. enter
prise" For the last four nights of this
week, beginning on Tuesday, the second
story of the Masonic Hall has been well
filled with anxious individuals, some no
doubt for the purpose of witnessing the few
meagro performances of the prestidigitator,
as he calls himself, but the great majori-
ty to indulge in the game OF chance, for
which the tricks of the performer were used
as mere cover. The price of o single
ticket was 25 cents. Tickets with six
chances were sold at one dollar. The hold
-cr of the ticket, on entering the Hall, re-
coived small envelope in its stead, which
was either blank or indicated the article
drawn against its number. Some of the
green ones purchased as many as twenty to
thirty tickets, during the evening.
The desire to see the show was soon
merged in the more exciting game of chance,
with no certainty whatever that the coveted
chance was even fair one. Furniture and
other articles were distributed, as we'll Us
some greenbacks, though it is more than
suspected that the big prizes were drawn by
previous arrangements. At former exhi-
bition, several months since, 1t is said the
prestidigitator awarded the big prizes in
proportion to the amount of his indebted
ness to the lucky drawers.
When all other means fail the game of
chance is sure to draw full houses. Such is
human nature. Whether these things should
be encouraged, or the laws enforced, is q
question for moralists.

General Sheridan Removed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 1867

"hSAiiNNAc-Ni 40 iOVs'
The President this afternoon sent an order
to General Grant, as acting Secretary Of
War, directing him to relieve General Sheri-
dan as Commander of the Fifth Military
District, and to transfer General q. Ii.
Thomas to the vacancy. The President fur
ther directed that General Sheridan should
be ordered to the Department of Missouri
and Kansas, and General Hancock to the
Department Of the Cumberland Before the
Adjutant-General was directed to frame an
order in accordance with these instructions,
General Grant proceeded to the White
House and conferred with the President re-
lating to the transfer of General Hancock,
whose presence on the plains in connection
with the Indian troubles, General Grant
thinks should not be interfered with. The
President acquiesced, and it is probable
that when the official order is issued General
Hancock will not be disturbed. The regu-
lar order OF superscdure will be issued to-
morrow. This change has been anticipated
30 long that 1t docs not create much excite
ment.
1t appears that tho movement to get &C.
cretary McCulloch out of the Treasury comes
principally from New York. To-Day, scye-
raj New York Democrats had au interview
with the President, and urged him strongly
to request the Secretary TO resign. The
President, however, authorized tho Agent
of the Associated Prcss to telegraph last
night that the relations between the Execu-
tive and the Cabinet were of the most cour-
teous and friendly character, and that there
was no prospect of any change. This may
be taken as an authoritative answer to the
outside efforts to effect a change.
