A MODERN MIRACLE,

From old and young, from rich and poor, from
high born and lowly, comes the Universal Voice Of
The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1868-04-08
-HAuCE FOR THE GOOSE, &C."

Many of our Republican cotempo-
faries in the State are rilcd at the pro-
ceeding Of the State Convention in
adopting the resolution that delegates
to the National Convention vote as n
unit. through the chairman, for A. e.
Curtin for Vice President, and that
the right of substitution for absent del
egatcs he solely with the delegation
from the State" The vote on the res
olution showed that two-thirds, at
least, of the Convention favored Cur
tin, and accordingly it was desired to
make it unanimous. This we believe,
Is party usage and very disreputable,
at that. We call attention to it simply
To illustrate how "thc case being al
tered" can "altcr the case" A Con-
gresham will be nominated soon to
represent the oath District. Greene
County will send conferecs favoring
one of her citizens. Whether, or not,
she can obtain a majority of the con-
ference, she will insist upon her right
to be heard. The result may be dis
astrous, just as the action of the oppo-
nents of Curtin would have been, and
perhaps may be yet. From the great
number of those who have taken up
the gauntlet for the minority we are
led to hope for sympathy. And why
not? The cases are parallel. Don't
let us.hear anything, gentlemen, about
party fealty, if the result is as stated
The hatred Of faction is only exceeded
by that of the opposition, is often said,
We 60 farther and say, when carried to
extremes, It is worse. And hence we
join in the denunciation of the usurpa-
ton of the peoples prcrogative by po'
litical "rings." If we cannot have
harmony and fair dealing, let us have
fair dealing ritho@ harmony. L
Greene County Republicans cannot b'
represented in the Forty-frst Congress
We prefer thathe they mis-represcnted
And who is it Will say "nay!"

possessing also her portion of minerals
and mineml springs, bloodcd cattle,
horses and mules. Thence coming to
the New river the slopes and table
land on either side are covered with
dense forests, inviting the circular saw
and the iron horse to cut it into shape
for market, and its transportation
thither. Then comes the salt-works
producing salt unsurpassed in firm
ness and strength by even the Liver
pool works. Next comes the plaster
banks, of which need not speak, for
every judicious and thriving farmer
knows Of its power and virtue as a
east;lizer. Taking Lewisburg as the
standpoint, (being the county seat Of
Greenbrier county, for one hundred
miles east, west, north, or south, there
are but three furnaces, and they were
used up by the war; one foundry, a
small concern; three woolen factories
combined having but nine looms no
forge, no rolling mill, no nail mill, no
glass factory, no paper mill, no plain
ing mill, one potter, no broom factory
and but limited tanyards.
Now all that have said would be
but mere shadow compared with the
noontide blaze that would open up
from the seven Southern States that
would be accessible, if Pittsburg would
reach out another iron arm and grasp
the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
at or near Newberne.

Decisive Republican Triumph Genera

PREvIDENcE, April Tile Jour

irland town. Gen. Burnside's majority
is increased over last year. The vote
is also increased, but was very light.
The following is the vote.
Burnside, Republican. -. 9,767
Pierce, Democrat. -. .... 5,65S
In the General Assembly 27 of the
"a Senator's are Republicans-two
vacancies ;62 of the y Representatives
are Republicans-two vacancies. The
result undoubtedly secures the re-elec-
ton of William Sprague to the United
States Senate.
The Democrats put forth their full
strength on this occasion, in the hope
of encouraging their brethren with
news of"tremendous gains" triumph
of the great "reaction," &c. !; but the
result is just the reverse. In 1864 the
Rhode Island Democracy polled S,7lS
votes to-day they did their best and
got less than 5,500-a falling Of nearly
3,30O.

THEINTERNAL TAX BILL.

WAsmxGroN, March 27.-Thc con-
ference Committee of the two Houses
of Congress have agreed on the amen
datory tax bill, in relation to domestic
manufactures, and the bill passed the
House to-day. This bill, which re-
mits the Internal Revenue Duty now
imposed on almost every manutactur-
ed article, was presented to the House
by Mr.. Schenck, on the 18th instant,
was then referred to the Committee OF
WAYS and Means, and subsequently
reported back and passed. In the
Senate, It was sought to amend it by
retaining the tax on coffee, spices,
sugars, confectionery, diamonds, pre-
cious stones, limitations thereof, and all
iewelry, but the amendment failed.
Finally, the Senate proposed to amend
the bill by reducing the tax on the
products ofpetroleum and other btu
minous substances to onc-half that
now imposed. This amendment pass
ed the House, as did also an amend
ment reported by the Committee Of
Ways and Means imposing tax Of
20 on every $1,000 worth 0, sales Of
| manufactures in excess of $4,000 an
nually. An additional section wa:
also passed whereby the fraudulent
distillation ofspirits renders the dstil-
lery and apparatus liable to confsca'
! ton, and imposes a fine of not les:
than $500, nor more than $4,000 Or
the distiller, beside ,subjecting him tc
imprisonment, on conviction, for ;
term of not less than six months, no
NOR than six years. Beside this, al
amendment was passed, forbidding TIL
allowance in future OF any drawbacl
on account of Internal Revenue ta'
heretofore paid on manufactures cx
[ported, and which, by the operation
I Of this law are now believed from sucl
tax. On Thursday last the Senat
nom -concurred in the action of th
