i, PENNA., WEDNESDAY, JULY %. 1868,


Gen. Grant has been repeatedly
G arged with an extravagant waste of
life in the conduct of his campaigns,
and particularly in that one which re-
suited in the overthrow of Lees army.
But it is an interesting and instructive
fact that the casualties incurred by the
Army of the Potomac. during its ca
reer from Bull Run up to the failure
of the Mine Run campaign, at the end
of 1863 "a period in which, notwith-
standing the partial victories of Antie-
tam and Gettysburg, it gained no sub
stantial success over its hardy and
persistent antagonist), were greatly in
excess Of those incurred by it while
under Grants immediate command.
The only satisfactory recompense
for the loss of life incurrel in warfare
is victory, followed by the triumph of
the cause for which war is undertaken.
Considered in the light of this princi-
pie, and not forgetting that Grant was
in command of all the armies, and
therefore could not regulate details for
any of them, the following carefully
prepared statement, drawn from ofil-
cial sources. ought to put an end to
the charge of butchery and needless
waste OF life so unjustly made against
the greatest as we'll as the most hu-
name general of his time:
The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1868-07-22

New YORK, August 7.--The Tib-
une publishes Gen. Buffers report, As
Commissioner of Exchange, during
portion ofthe rebellion, from which it
appears that in December, 1868, he
found the Confederate Generals anx-
ious to exchange man for man, but
the Confederate Government refused
to treat with Gen. Butler On the
ground that he commanded negro
troops. Notification to that effect was
sent to our Government, which refused
to admit the right Of the Confederate
authorities to outlaw our officers.
Exchanges continued until March,
1864, when Gen. Butler had an inter-
view with Commissioner Ould, which
convinced him that retaliation would
compel the rebels to abandon their
refusal to exchange colored soldiers.
The government, informed Of these
facts, referred the matter to General
Grant, who, in April, directed General
Butler to decline, until otherwise Or
dered, all fatther negotiations, and
shortly after instructed him TO oonsid!
er the determination of the rebels to
make distinction between white and
colorcd prisoners as a refusal on their
part to agree to further exchange.
Gen. Butler was also Instructed to re-
ceive all the sick and wounded the
rebels would give up, but to send no
more in exchange. In August the
rebels offered to renew the exchange,
man for man. Gen. Grant then tele-
graphed the following important
order:
at is hard on our men to be held
in southern prisons and not to ex-
change them, but it is humanity to
those left in the ranks to fight our bat
ties. Every man released on parole
or otherwise becomes an active soldier
against us at once, directly or indi-.
rectly. IF we commence system Of
exchange which viii liberate all prisl
oners taken, we will have to fight on
until the South is exterminated. II
we hold those caught, they amount to
no more than dead men. At this
particular time to release all rebel
prisoners in the north would insure
Sherman's defeat, and would compro-
mise our safety here."-PiHs. Gazette,
The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1868-07-22
WHITE MANS GOVERNMENT.

There is nothing which can raise as
much Indignation in the breast of a
Democrat as to tell him that the Radi-
cal party is in favor of negroes voting
and holding Office. The masses do not
know that in Louisiana at the recent
election, the Democratic candidate for
Governor was negro, and was sup
ported by the entire party In that
State. In many Northern States
negro suffrage, with property quail
ification, was established by the Dem-
ocratic party when it held power.
The great idea of this being a white
mans government, has become portion
Of the regular sensational cry Of the
Democracy, and on every occasion we
are reminded of the fact that only
whitemen mnst rule this land. We
have always contended that if black
men are to be counted in our represent
ative ratio then should they be allow
ed to vote. This organization of allow
ing the negro to count one in appor-
tioning our members of Congress, and
then allowing a few hundred white
men 10 do the voting of thousands is
a part of white mans government that
we do not admire.

THREATENING.

Pendletonians, before the New York
Convention, knowing we'll how popu-
lar rascality is with the Democratic
party, threatened the bondlolders Of
the party without absolute repudiation
unless they acceded to their demand
for paper money expansion. This ac-
counts for that plank in their plat
form and explains away all doubt that
the ultimate end of the scheme is ruin.
They knew they could command the
same force on either issue, yet if they
roped in the bondholders on the expan-
sion movement, their prospect would
be better for success in the fall. Once
successful it will be an easy matter to
carry out the reputation policy. Is
there any one hardy enough to vote
for the greenback issue with these
threats staring him in the face?
The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1868-07-22

Carried into practice, would set the
green paper mills at work night and
day to supply greeubacks for the pub
lie creditors. With the present
amount of greenbacks in circulation,
they are 40 per cent. discount. Dou-
BILE and treble the issue, and the small
est arithmetical capacity would not be
able to make out what greenback dol
lar would fetch. In Richmond, they say
that in early days Of the Confederacy
they went to market with money IN
their vest pockets, and came away
with their dinner in their baskets |; bat
when JEFF. Davis's paper money mills
had worked night and day for . while,
they went with their money in their
baskets, and came esway with their din
uer in their vest pockets. This is the
state Of things to which the unlimited
paper money doctrine ofthe Democrst-
ic party would inevitably lead.

TAKING GOVERNMENT BONDS.

In the early part of week before last
a resolution was introduced into the
House of representatives by Mr.. Cobb,
requesting the Committee of Ways
and Means to Immediately report a
bill taxing Government bonds ten per
cent. per annum on the amount of in
terest hereafter paid. This measure
was passed and the Committee have
reported the bill = ordered by the
House, but in so doing they declare
that "they act in obedience to the pos
tive directions Of the House, and con-
trary to their own best Judgement.
They reserve to themselves their rights,
as members of the House, to oppose
in every possible way the adoption of
measure which they regard as hostile
to the public interest and injurious to
the national character, bill to au-
thorize an internal tax on the interest
Of the bonds and other securities of the
United States" We give below the
text of the bill, in order that our read
ers may be fully acquainted with a
measure which, if it should become n
law, will be followed by important
results:
Be it enacted, etc. That from and
after the passage of this act, there shall
be levied, collected, and paid tax of
ten per centum on the amount of inter-
est hereafter due and payable on all
the bonds and other securities of the
United States. To secure the collec-
ton Of said tax, the amount of interest
hereafter paid on any bonds or other
securities Of the United States, bearing
interest at six per ccntum, shall be at
the rate of only fve-tenths per centum
shall be at the rate of only 4 $40 per
centum, and if bearing interest at the
rate of three per centum shall be at
the rate ofonly 27-10 per centum per
annum. No higher rate of interest
than is here prescribed shall be paid
on any boud or other security Of the
United States now outstanding or au-
thorized to be issued. All conditions
of any such bonds or other security,
and all laws and parts of laws to the
contrary, are hereby repealed.
On Thursday of last week, Mr..
Butler offered a bill which advocates
the tax of ten per cent, on the interest
Of Government bonds, but suspends
the existing income tax Of five per cent
p far . it applies to the interest de-
rived from the bonds.
We doubt whether either of these
bills will pass both Houses, but as the
decision is at present uncertain, the
