Joseph N. Peirsol, the Reform candidate for
CITY Treasurer, will receive thousands of votes
never before cast for Democratic nominee
Ire people of Philadelphia don't want any
mere OF their money sunk in 'Davy Jones
Certainly, Mr.. Peirsol's claims to the posi-
ton are incontestable. His chief claim on
the votes of our citizens is based on his letter
of June %, 1862. Who could refuse to sup
port Philadelphian who would write to a
strange Senator in order to say
'Sir:-I take the liberty of addressing you
upon the subject of the proposed location of the
united States Navy Yard at League Island.

of f,bjs on several occasions during the war,
,rbon his wise and inspiring utteranoes were
,ost valuable and eficacious in modifying and
elevating public sentiment He has just done
,be country good service by powerful and
t;melv letter upon the public debt. 1t is
,,oodless to say that Governor Morton shows
no favor towards that underhanded method
Of repudiation, by paying our bonds in paper
currency, which has lately been put forth in
different quarters. What he proposes is the
simple dictate of good sound common sense,
as applied to the question in hand, and that
"a n abandon the absurd idea of anticipating
the payment of the debt, to reduce taxation
TO the lowest possible point consistent with
raising revenue enough for paying the interest
nm the debt and the current expenses of the
Government, and to leave the payment of the
principal to more prosperous and stable times.
We can 20 on attempting to reduce the prin-
cipal-and there is something quite gratifying,
we confess, in being able to say that we have
paid fifty millions Of debt during the year-but
we can only do so by maintaining rate of
taxation which is not only oppressive, but
even destructive, to many branches of industry.
Taxation, beyond certain well-defned limits,
defeats its own ends by impairing the produo-
tive power of the country. The true policy,
therefore, is to reduce taxation to the lowest
figures consistent with the indispensable re-
quirements of the public service.
That the country is fully able to pay every
dollar Of its debt, and that it will do so, we
have no doubt. But we shall do it great
deal more easily and surely if the views Of
such men as Governor Morton are made the
guiding principles of our policy.

ANOTHER PARDoN.-The latest Executive
clemency has been shown to DR.. Blackburne,
of New Orleans. There is no name in connec-
tion with our war more notorious and more
criminal than that of the man whose crimes
have been wiped out by the pardon of Mr..
Johnson. This man Blackburne was the
scoundrel who endeavored to import yellow
fever into our cities, and has been proved to
have bought garments containing the infec-
ton, and boxed them up for transportation
into our midst. Yet it is to such as this that
Mr.. Johnson extends Executive slemency; and
while he strikes down Sheridan, Siokles, and
all the patriots, he rewards and reinstates in
their rights those fends who have violated
every principle of law and morality. Little
by little the Executive is heaping up record
of infamy which will crush its author and
compel impeachment.

article, eulogizing the Government OF
the United States, as it was before
the war, makes use of the following
language:
No one, felt the pressure of the laws or
Government, and yet an atmosphere of
protection was thrown around the Amer
lean wherever he-wept, or in whatever
lawful pursuit he was engaged"
= No one knows better than the C5u-

Sensible and Sharp.

Republicans, furnish the only guaran-
