ment showing the total amount Of In
tcrnM revenue collected in each Con.
grcssional District of Pennsylvania for
the years 1866 and lSGT--contrasting
the one with the othcr-.and showing
that ours--tho l0th--was tho only
District that did not show a falling
off, or loss, in 1867 as compared with
ls66-and over this fact somo tall
Dragging was done, not a few insult
ing taunts thrown out, and indeed,
Judging from the tone of the Journal
one would think that the whole Rad
ical party of the district was intoxi-
Gated with the idea that they were
able to produce at loast one board
of revenue officers who were not sus
pected of stealingl
Every district in the State, except
ours, showed a falling off and ours,
according to the Journal, showed an
increase of s11,s49 IA which the
Journal accounted for thus:
"Becduse no change ,oaS made in the
reuenue officers ofthis district"
No other reason is assigned-none
other suspected. 1t is simply because
of "a different boards of revenue Off
GERS in the State, ours was the only
one blessed with honest officers and
the only reason why they were honest
was because they were selected by Che
Great Lamented-forgetting that one
of their own members Of Congress had
declared that the official stealing under
Ltncoln's first twO years exceeded the
whole expenditures of the Govern
ment under Mr.. Buchanan.
But, to return to this big boast
of our neighbor We say there are
other causes for this difference in fa-
vor of the 10Th district. In 1866 the
Phil. and Erie R. r. Co. paid their in
ternal revenue at Williamsport, in the
18th district, amounting to SIC, ,942 2t
In 1867 they only paid 1O,495 IS

Here we can account for a loss of
over 100000 in the 18th district.
1t was occasioned by the Railroad
company named above transferring
the place of making their returns from
Williamsport TO Erie-that is from the
18th TO the 10Th district. 1t is not
likely that the amount returned by this
company was less in 1867 than it was
in 1866, and as they paid but ter thou
sand in the 18th district in 1867, it
may be assumed with entire confidence
they paid at least 100000 in the 10Th
district for that year. Thus we find
that in this single item our district
should have returned about 100000
more to the Government in 1867 than
it did in 1866.
But this is not all /: We find that in
the single item of oil the amount
stands as follows in the 10th district :
Total revenue from OIL 1867 1921, ,lfl n
Total revenue from OIL 1866 ............ l49,o2l IS

Add transfer Of p. A Z. r. R. Co....- 6O,446 81
Total excess of 1867 over ,566 7S
Here we find that by the official re-
port of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue the increase of revenue paid
by the people of our district for 1867
over 1866, upon too items clone, ex-
ceed one hundred and forty thousand
dolldrs-and yet they admit an in
crease of less than tiDelue thousand
We give the facts. The public can
make their own comments and when
they do so we request them to an
swer, if they can, the following ques-
tions which were put to them by the
Journal at the time;
"Did the officers pay to the Government all tho
taxes they collected from the pcople"
"May not the oapacious pockets Of these hun
CRY political oormorants have absorbed the differ
enee in the amounts collected 10 the two years"
As Bucher can find abundant time
to abuse, vilify and SANDER his neigh
bors on all occasions, we trust his le-
gal engagements may not be too press
ing to prevent him explaining this
apparently heavy deficiency. Their
boasted increase of sll, ,0OO-when
the foregoing figures indicate that the
increase should have been over sl40,-
OOO-has a very suspicious look. We
don't charge that our Radical friends
have raised this "Stop Thief cry to
cover up their tracks, but we confess
it looks so much like il that Bucher
should be called upon forthwith to
explain his friends out of this awk-
ward dilemma, in which their braga-
docio has placed them.

NEW YORK, January 25.-The follow

ceived here from the British ENpedi-
tiouary Post No. /, on the line of
march from Annesley Bay, and from
the headquarters at Post No. =, that
King Theodore is i'll camp, in a posi-
ton situated between Wadela and
Dalanta, near the Palace Of Magdola,
where. it is presumed, all the captives
are at present held. The rebel chiefs
have drawn their forces up in his front.
A fight will occur soon, probably before
the English march over the ground
lying between Zcenef and Undamalala.
LONDON, January GA dispatch from
Madrid, dated to-day, says News has
been received here from the provinces
of ArragOn and Catalonia that n speedy
abdicatiOn was anticipated in favor of
the oldest son of Don Juan. The widow
of Don Carlos has sent 100000 reals
to aid the insurrection.
VIENNA, January 24.-The Archdnke
Albracht, in command of the Austrian
army, has been ordered to prepare to
take the field.
ST. PETERSBURG, January 24.-The
Journal, of St. Petersburg, an official
organ, has an article IN reply TO the
assertions made by Paris newspapers,
relative to the attitude and intentions
of the Imperial Government, particular
" towards the East. The Journal says {:
Russia is powerful and strong. In its
resources it is equal to France. At the
same time, it is neither her wish, nor,
perhaps, her policy, to seek to extend
her frontiers, but Oh the contrary, to
endeavor to maintain peace, so as to
insure q continuance of progress. She
bears no i'll will or hate toward the
other powers of Europe, but does not
wish to see any one of them claim par
tieular predominance in the influencing
of its affairs, nor will Russia allow
others TO arrsgate such position. The
article concludes with tho assertion
that whatever power precipitates war
in Europe just now will insure for
itself and deserve the execration of his
tory in the future.

LONDON, January 26.-The latest dis.
patches from Annesley Bay and SaDafe,
show the British forces as yet have
made no advance beyond the latter point.
Intelligence Of the condition of British
captives had been received in camp at
Sanase. T hey wore at Magdala, alive
well and carefully guarded to prevent
the possibility of escape. 1t was feared
by many they would be massacred soon
as King Theadores heard the Of ap-
preach of the expeditionary force, but
no threatening demonstration was
made against their lives as yet,
and their treatment as prisoners re-
manned unchanged. 1t is officially de-
MED, in the most positive manner, that
any orders or dispatches authorizing the
arrest of Train We're sent from the Home
Office. The responsibility of that &C
tion is thrown entirely upon the local
authorities of Cork.
The London Observer to-day asserts
that by the last dispatches exchanged
between Lord Stanley and Secretary
Seward, in the matter of the Alabama
claims, the correspondence is finally
closed.
COPENHAGEN, January 26.-The fol-
lowing progress has been made in the

ton of the treaty for the sale of the

port. This was debated during the lat.
ter part of the week, in a secret ses.
sion. On Saturday the doors ere
thrown open, and after q speech from
the President, a vote was taken and the
treaty of transfer was ratified without
dissenting voice. The treaty now

termination of the discussion In the
Rsgsdag yesterday, on the transfer 'i

bill on the Mansion House. lnforma-
tien having reached the Government
that Thomas Simon, Sheriff ofthe Bland
of Alderney, was identified with the
Fenian organization, he was yesterday
promptly unprecedented and sent to
prison to await trial. Considerable
feeling was created by the recent reso-
