THE BEGINNING OF THE END.-The edl-
tor of the St. Mary's Gazette, the organ oi
the Elk county Democracy, seem. to have
become thoroughly disgusted with the man
agement and leaders of his party. la re-
cent issue, the editor says:
.'We will support neither men nor mea-
sures simply because they bear the good old
Democratic name neither will We denounee
measures which emanate from the Rrpubll-
can side, simply because of their origin.
What we deem subversive of the interests
o. the people, we will emphaticay denounce
whatever would rebound to their benefit We
will heartily advocate We admire and re-
we're pure and real principles OF Democracy,
but we assert that under the teachings OF
the unscrupulous demagogues, led and ruled
by William A Wallace and his clan, Penn
sylvanians have imbibed anything but De-
mocracy, and so long as a party permits
itself to be so ruled it is worthy and deserv-
ing of nothing but defeat and the Demo
cratic party has fought Its last battle, unless
change be speedily effected. 1t Will be
sufficient for us to know that when this great
Drained, able demagogue advises ororiginates
any scheme, we will oppose It; for we be-
lieve that Wallace and political vilalny are
are synonymous terms We will advocate a
protective tariff; that home productions and
native skill may find a worthy and full re-
muneration

DEATH OF GEORGE PEABODY. = This
eminent citizen and great phiianthrupist t.
who earned his wealth by his honest in
dustry and strict attention to business, died
in London on Thursday evening, November
4th. The Philadelphia Press, in alusior to
this event, says: Two great nations will
hear with sorrow of his death More than
the days of the years of man had been meas
ured to him, and he went to rest witness of
more of his own precious monuments than
Is usual with the most favored" " He was
born in Danvers, Massachusetts, February
Is, 1895, and, consequently, in the 18th
year ofhis age

EVANGELICAL UNI0T.-Our readers are
aware that a project is on foot fora Worlds
Conference of Protestant Churches. " 4
preliminary meeting was held in New York
City on Thurday, November 4 Rev DR..
Philip Schaff, who was sent out BY the Evan
gelical Alliance in Europe to consult with
them respecting a General Conference of all
the branches to be held in the City Of New
York in the fall of 1870, made a report. Hia
efforts were attended with success in Eng
land, Scotland, France, Holland, Switz-r
and aud Germany. There was strong dis
position everywhere manifest to cooperate
in the movement. He saw the Prussian
Minister OF Public Instruction, and also the
King Of Wurtemburg, who, on his repre-
sentation, gave permission to those rofes-
sors in the national institutions of those
countries who wished to attend the confer
ence TO be absent three months for that
purpose. The wives of many of the
clergy objected to their going away on
what they regarded as hazardous voyage.
Finally, however, all these difficulties were
settled and promises of attendance were re-
| ceived from many Of the most eminent di-
vines in Germany He then went to Paris,
to see the French branch of the Evangelical
Alliance in june. 1t was attended by the
most distinguished clergymen and laymen,
and they pledged themselves to co o-operate
fully in the movement

TAXES REDUCED. The most wonderful
feature of our national income ia, that it is
so great, as compared with the revenue Of
last year. During 1869 a large amount of
tax has been rem oved, aud yet the revenue
receipts thus far exceed that of last year.
One year ago the tax on distilled spirits was
81 90 per gallon. 1t has been decreased to
80 cents When we estimate in our own
mind that this tax produced one year ago a
good bulk of our national income, it Is a
matter of wonder that this aloEe did not
largely reduce our revenue this year. Be
sides this, tax of 20 cents per gallon on
refined coal oil was collected in 1868 that is
not collected in 1869 The tax on manufac
tures is reduced from FIVE per cent in 1868
TO two per cent. in 1869. Pianos in 1868
paid each s., in 1869 nothing. All carri-
ages worth 500 paid tax Of 81, and of
5000 a tax Of So In 1869 NJ carriage is
taxed unless worth 5000 Thus it will be
seen that with the old administration in
power, there was a probability of our debt
showing an increase at this time, instead of
a decrease of ore, s63, 600, 900, within eight
months under the new administration.

A TEMPORARY DIssoLUrIos.-A politi.

A TEMPORARY DIssOLUTIoN-Ap politi
cal cotemporary says that the Richmond
Wing does not speak to the Northern Dem
ccrats in an over encouraging way. 1t
thinks that one effect Of the Ohio and Penn

many such temporary dissoutions" the

! hope Of subsequent reconciliation, we do
not undertake to determine. 1t was dis

his bedside and kindly whisper: The soon

frightened - it's only temporary. It's
'discouraging, certainly, but the sooner you
go through with it the better You have
