but the Government is cheated out of
the income.
How, then, stands the footiugs'
The total receipts from Customs, In
ternal Revenue, distilled spirits and to-
bacco, amount to $295, 100000. The te-
tai expenditures will exceed this estima-
ted income by at least 800, 600 in
gold, or $140, 900, ,000in currency! 4.
How is this large deficit to be met
As we before said no provision has as
yet been made The amount will not,
and cannot be collected from the people.
The levy has not been made, and If 1t
were, the industry of the country could
not bear it. Labor is already taxed to
the utmost. Everything we eat, drink,
wear or use is taxed heavily. Com
merce and trade are embarrassed. Mo-
tnopolists are pampered, and the poor
most grievously oppressed. Things
have thus gone Oh from bad to worse,
! from oppression to plunder, till the
landlord stands in dread of tho tax
gatherer quite as much as the tenant
does the landlords monthly rent bills.
But how is the deficit of sl4OOOO,OOO
in currency to be provided for ! Here
the accused, the improvident and doub-
ly criminal congressional agent resorts
70 the usual remedy of issuing gold
bearing bonds, still further increasing
the burthens and troubles of their con-
stitRents and rushing the country on to
bankruptcy, reputation and financial
disasters of which the people have not

nor was it defeated, nor abandoned. 1t
was referred back to the committee,
where it lies in wait for its opportunity.
The Convention, however, gives STEVENS
a hint to be cautious till the election is
over. Now shall they cheat US twice in
this way' Nobody can have yet for
gotten the fall elections of 1866, at
which this present Congress was elected.
Nobody has forgotten how solemnly the
party then protested that they did not
intend to force negro suffrage on the
South. That the question of suffrage
belongs to the people of the States
the doctrine of the Censtitution-was
clamorously proclaimed by the Radicals,
with almost one common voice. If you
doubted their sincerity, they pointed to
their proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution, in which the very doctrine
was admitted and applied to the South
ern States But--the election oveI-
Notwithstanding all their declarations
and pledges; notwithstanding the adop-
tion (as they assert) of that very amend
ment, they turned sharp round and in
the insolence of triumph won by false
pretences, they imposed negro suffrage
upon every State of the South. They
organized military despotism for that
very purpose; and for the feeble resist
ance which the President was
able to make, in defence of the
Constitution asd civil liberty, he
is to-day under impeachment, with
thirty-fvs perjured Radicals voting for
his conviction-because he wished to
keep his oath "to preserve, protect, and
defend the Constitution of the United
States" Now let any intelligent man
read over the Chicago resolution, which
we have quoted above. The first part
of it embodies the very fraud they prac-
ticed on the country in 1866. The sec.
ond part discloses the fraud to be per-
petrated in the coming election. Sh all
they cheat us twice That is now the
question.

After an impressive prayer by Rev

It's respectfully suggested that, as
ar as may be practicable and conve-
reat the Delegates be choSed by Town
.l.por County Cow entiOns, on
SATURDAY, JULY 4th, 1868.
II is also recommended that
,bc Delegates from the First aud Sec
oad Congressional Districts in attend
ga.r upon tho State Convention nomi-
cate Congressional candidate and a
Presidential elector for each of their
respective Districts.
The possibility that, owing to their
rtmotrgess, some of the counties of the
Third Congressional District may not
be- fully represented, has induced the
Committee to leave the selection of the
..mr and place for making their Con
rrrs,iOnal and Electoral nominations
entirely to the discretion of the Demo
t'atIc and Conservative voters of that
District.
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives.
Your political brethren in all parts of
thr country where elections have been
held within the last twelve months,
have achieved magnificent victories.
The great reaction which is 10 redeem
the nation from tyranny and misrule
Lrs fairly set in. In other States, its
prusrrss is irresistible. Let us, too,
press forward in the work of
redemption. Not one moment
should be lust-no exertiOn spared.
County, Township and School District
organizations should at once be COM
plrted, and every man who can be
moved to espOuse The right, should be ap-
preached, informed and melted to ac-
ton TIE work is in your hands. If
you are true to yourselves, your State
and your country, You cannot fail.
Success will crown your efforts, and the
blessings of good Government, so long
unknown in West Virginia, will once
more bring to her people peace, prosper
i'y and happiness.

The Legislature.

Our Morgautown exchanges announce
that an effort is to be made to have the
Legislature, which meets in extra
session tomorrow, adjourn to Morgan
town for the transaction of its business.
Whether the report be correct, or
whether there is any probability OF the
success of the movement, we do not
know. We think it would be pretty
good thing if the Legislature would im-
igrate from county to county for while.
IL would put an end to the wranglings
about the State capital and would eff
fectually convert to Democracy thepeo-
pie of every county wherein q session
may be held. 1t would afford the people
of the State an opportunity of seeing for
themselves what a narrow minded, illib-
eral AVID incompetent set of Legislators
the Radical party has foisted upon
West Virginia, and would thoroughly
convince them that any change would

are ONE counties in the State that
have not been visited by circus for
several years. To the inhabitants OF
those benighted regions a sight of our
legislative r-garden would afford rare
amusement and give realizing sense
of "the way the money goes" BY all
means, let the Legislature travel around.
The extra session being shield in
Morgantown will carry Monongalia
county for the Democratic nominees by
an overwhelming majority this fall,
and not more than one session each in
Preston, Ritchie, and other strongholds
of radicalism would be needed for their
thorough redemption. The panhandle
counties are already right and we know
of few more effective means of enhanc-
ing the interests of the Democratic
party than by affording the people all
over the State an opportunity of wit
Messing a session of the Legislature.

AConstantinople journal announces a
circumcision on a great scale as about
take place at Kanelili. The son of Mbs-
tapha Fail Pasha is about to undergo
the initiatory rite of his religion,
and Eve hundred boys-the children
of parents in reduced circumstances
are to be treated to it at his highness'
expense. 1t is computed that the cere-
mony will last five days, the surgeons
being unable to finish of neatly more
than one hundred patients a day. and
that it will cost upward OF 5000.
Presents are to be made to the parents
of the circuncised, and the whole party
is to be lodged and. fed until their
wounds are healed.

THE New York San (Rad.) gives a
brief statement why the income tax is
unconstitutional. 1t says the Constitu-
tion provides that all direct taxes shall
be levied upon the States in proportion
to their population. Congress has no
power to levy any direct tax upon indi-
vidual citizens, and must impose such
taxes upon the States and upon them
only. The income tax is direct tax; it
is levied not upon the States but upon
individuals, and therefore it is uncon-
stitutional, and cannot rightfully be
collected of any man.

Last week. the following special I

Last week, the following special tele-
gram was sent from Washington to sew
eral Radical journals in New England:
1t is rumored that one of the Arkan-
sas Senators-elect was in the arrange
ment which took Senator Ross over to
the anti--impeachers, and that he is
going over TO the Democracy in his pol
itics. Prominent Republicans have
faith enough in the ruRor to acqui-
esce willingly in the determination of The
Senate not to consider the Arkdnsds bill at
the present time.
If the estimate of the Georgia Legis-
lature is correct, there is clear Demo
cratic majority of on joint ballot over
the Radicals, carpet-bag carriers, and
colored representatives-which would
seem to insure sending two Democratic
United States Senators from that State.
In this view, the Radicals in Congress
may not deem it worth while to con.
slider the Georgia bill at present.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. A.-Dispatches from South
Pass City, dated the 22d, say on the 11th inst.
a train was attacked 80 miles East of this city
bv the Sioux Indians, and man named David
Hays killed, and the wagons and stock captur-
ed. On the Goth, Major Baldwin and five men
were attacked by 20 Sioux Indians 65 miles
East of here. and two whites were seriously
wounded and three Indians killed. On the
day following, three men were attacked at the
same place where Baldwin was attacked, and
three Indians killed. One of the white men
escaped, but the other two were doubtless
killed as they were closely pressed by the In
dians.
