The Democrat no doubt thinks it very
pleasant to have an Overfowing treasury.
So says the rat-and-tan concern across
the way. Well, VIC confess that We do
think it better to be out of debt and have
something over, than to have our county
orders hawking about the streets at % to
90 per cent discount, as is the case in al
most all the Republican counties with
which We are acquainted We venture
the assertion, even, that it would be no
detrment TO the nation to have its treas.
ury in condition to meet the obligations
OF the Government. We rather think it
would DO pleasant" for the people "a

A radical victory next Tuesday at the
election, will be regarded - an indorsc-
ment of the reconstruction policy Of the
Rump Congress, which is disunion, negro
superiority, taxation Of the poor man to
pay the interest on the rich mans bonds
In short, radicalism, mongrelism, and Ja-
cobinism, under the name of Kepubiicsu-
ism, means slavery for the poor white man,
and freedom snd glory without work, for
negroes. 1fyou DO not believe this. look
at the condition Of affairs in the S1uth
a victory this fall, and they will enforce
the same deplorable condition Of affairs
upon the Lorth in short time. Will YOU
vote for this principle. Mr.. Tax payer?

The main question between the two
parties is whether negroes OF white men
shall rule this country. Democrats hold
that this is a "white mans government,
made by white men. for the benefit Of
white men" Radicals hold that it is .
niger government made for niggers, and
not for white men. Remember that on
Tuesday next you vote either for or
against niggerism.

voters of the county From some of the
members of the committee who got up this
tissue of falsehoods we had reason To ex.

Southern Railrouis.

Our Washington correspondent informs us
that number Of prominent Southern railroad
men, including Generals Beauregard and
Malone, have been in consultation with the War
Department with reference to obtaining an ex-
tension Of time for the payment due the govern
ment for rolling stock purchased after the close
OF the war; 1t is too well known that, unfortu-
nately, since the close Of the war; these railroads
have not been in prosperous condition. In
travelling over the Southern railroads one sees
that the amount Of travel, and even that of the
slowly increasing freight, Is insufficient to pay
expenses. In many respects the railroads have
shared the misfortunes Of tho people at large
Short crops, floods, pestilence, and political un-
certainties still more fatal in their influence,
have oil combined TO aggravate the situation.
This state Of things demands the sympathy Of
well-disposed persons Of every shade Of politi-
col complexion, North and South. II is obvi-
ously the true policy OF the government to
favor in every way the development Of The ma
terial prosperity Of the South. Thisl largely de-
pends upon the prosperity Of the Southern
railroads. The government well understands
this, and IL is gratifying to know iba, General
Grant, to whom the representatives OF the
Southern railway interests have appealed, will
lend his influence In their favor. The HERALD,
which has always strenuously advocated all
movements tending towards reconstruction,
does not hesitate to advise o liberal policy
with reference 10 the Southern railroads. 1t Il
OF no little historical interest to find distin.
guishcd ex-generals Of the Confederate army
consulting with General Grant upon the best
means of promoting the welfare Of the South
and. consequently, of the whole country.

The P0pe's AlIocutiou.

In the HERALD of yesterday we printed the
text of the allocuton delivered by Pic Mono,
in the Consistory at Rome, ON the goth of Sep
tember last. The Pope, poor man, feels sore
because Of his position. His enemies! He
begins and ends with them. On the suo-
Alpine government he lets fall his heaviest
malediction. 1t is curious to notice how easy
and Indifferent Catholic Italy feels under the
anathemas Of the Holy Father. Even Victor
Emanuel endures accommodation with
wonderful equanimity. The Pope talks Of his
right to avengc the Churchs wrongs. In the
mouth of the Vicar Of Christ the word ayenge
is unfortunate. What government now fears
his vengeance! How changed are the Zines
since the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa
humiliated himself In the public square OF
viterbo, by falling on his naked knee, before
the English Pope Adrian Iv.l But Pho Mono
and his advisers will not admit the change.
They still live, or rather believe they live, in
the Middle Ages. From our point Of view we
wonder that tae Holy Father should plague
himself with such baubes as the temporal
power and Italian Church property. These are
not essential to the existence and even suc-
cess OF the Papacy. Pic Mono, good and amia-
BILE as he Is, is too old TO learn. or this the
allocution before us Ia sufficient proof With
the advent Of his successor we may expect the
commencement Of new era in the history Of

The Whislxey Seizures In Philadelphia.

The Whiskey Seizures In Philadelphia.
The whskey bibbers Of the City Of Brotheriy
Love are sorely troubled by the United States
authorities at the present time. On Monday
afternoon the revenue officers, assisted by
large force Of marines and police, started on
their weekly raid against the Illicit stills in
which Philadelphia seems to abound. The
guerilla patrons Of these lawless establish
ments lowered around the attacking force,
looks and tongues well trained in invectives
and curses. The whiskey army was neither
clean nor respectable, and the fair sex was
misrepresented on the occasion by ragged and
unfeminine looking specimens, who dragged
along still more wretched looking children.
The casualties were confined to the demolition
of hogsheads Of "molasses mash" and the
trophies were two tin pals and some stills.
One Irishman alone made q stout but unavail.
ing resistance, and the expedition returned
crowned with curses instead Of laurels. Many
Of the troops suffered severely in the olfactory
organs, for "molasses NASH Is not particu-
lsrly sweet scented. There is a great difference
between the plan OF campaign adopted by the
foes Of Illicit whiskey in the Quaker City and
that in vogue in this city. Instead Of charge
Of bayonets, We capture the enemy by . charge
Of greenbacks, and our revenue officers are
received with smiles and outstre.ched hands
instead Of frowns and uplifted weapons. The
receipts Of tho Internal Revenue may not be
aided as well as by the Philadelphia tactics,
but then both parties are in better
humor, and the officers Of the government
pocket great deal more money.
The hogshead Of "molasses mash" Is not
spilled on the ground, but only smptied into
the stomachs Of the hostile forces, and illicit
distillation goes on and revenue officers build
themselves brown stone mansions in conse-
quence Of this convenient mode OF warfare.
We fear very much if some Of the Philadelphia
revenue authorities were to come here with
their force Of marines they would be aston
ished to find their brother officials and the
distillers hobnobbing together, and the
government cheated out of thousands of
dollars every day. The votes of the whiskey
population Of Gotham, and expected douceurs,
have great deal to do with this state of
affairs.
