BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT The following waif
afoat on the ''sea of reading we clip from an
exchange. We do not know its paternity, but
1T contains some wholesome truths beautifully
set forth:
''Men seldom think of the great event of
death until the shadow falls across their own
path, hiding forever Fl om their eyes the traces
of the loved ones whose living smiles were the
sunlight of their existence. Death is the great
antagonist Of life, and the cold thought of the
tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not
want to go through the dark valley although
its passages may lead to paradise and, with
Charles Lamb, We do not want to lie down in
the muddy grave, even with kings and princes
for our bed fellows

At the hour named, vast crowd

As soon as the dcalcning cheers Of the

burning him in efligy.
At the close of his address circle
was cleared about tho eiligy. and.
amid the loud groaRs of the hundreds
present, tho match was applied. A
bright flame shot up, brilliantly light
ing the square, ana showing with great
distinctncss the stern faces OF the
"bloOdy lcaguers," gathered around TO
attest their hatred Of corruption in
high places. Tho FIRE soon destroyed
the buily legs Of the receant Senator,
consumed bis spacious abdomen, and
was toying with The bean vine wreath
around bis neck, when suddenly an
explosion occurred, and tho remains
Of the eiigy were whirling in the air,
IN burning fragments. "a bean has

GETTING TIRED OF IT.-Tbe Register,
a radical paper published at White
water, Wisconsin, is tired of the con-
duct of the soldier President, Hiram
Ulysses. The editor is assuredly an
hobcst man, and has sor;e regard for
the honor and prosperity Of his coun.
try. In recent number Of his paper
he discourses asfollows:
"Thc truth would seem to be that
General Grant is out of place in the
Presidential chair He has no taste
for civil business, possibly he has no
talent for it, lie prefers the vulgar
snobbcry and immoral society of the
watering places TO the staid and sober
life Of the White House. 1t need not
be concealed that Gen. Grant delights
in the society OF the race course and
takes delight in driving hobby horse
over Bloomingyille road, For The
good name Of our country we may not
speak Of these things aloud; but We
cannot escape the conviction that our
President is out of his element when
surrounded by his cabinet, and much
prefers to select his company, and is
not always particular to select the
best"

" for this mo9omcnt; moro In the
world, except that OF the pockets OF
the State Treasurer and other Radical
officials. The old loans could have
been continued, without any difficulty
ut the old rates of interest. But the
placing of the new loan offered an
opportunity to plumber the treasury,
and that was enough TO recommend II
to those in power. 1t would enable
tho State Trcasurcr 10 keep on hand
largo monthly balance, which he
could loan ont to his fivorites, TO the
incalculable advantage oi.himsclf and

this heavy balance will be needed as

Hans Gcary and his batkcr. "Glory-
to.God' Covodc, arc now travelling
over the State cnlightcning the ta~.
payers. The Governor has been ma
king several speeches, and opens and
closes with falschood and deception.
Gcary's great hobby is, that during
his administration q great reduction
has tal,enplacc in the rate Of taxation
and that real estate has beer wholly
exempted for State purposes through
the instrumcntality of himself and his
"loil millions" We happen TO know
something about this tax question
and, whilo Gcary was blowing at
Grccnsburg, the State Treasurer trans
mittcd to the County Commissioners
the bill of State tax for this county,
which proves to be s5l5.25 more than
the tax assessed and collected for State
purposes, which amount must be paid
out Of the county funds. And yet
these ''loil" scalawags assert that the
people OF this State pay no State tax
upon real estate The falsehood, de-
ception and frauds pcrpctrated upon
the people by our State authorities
are u disgrace to the State and nation
If our State authorities would quit
robbing and apply tho funds properly
VIC are satisfied that the axpayer'
Of this Commonwealth need pay nc
State tax at all, But they are con
stantly changing and manipulating
the tax laws in such manner that
the commonaliy scarcely understand
them. The idea of passing an Act OF
Assembly nbolishing the State tax on
real estate is n humbug, and it practi-
cally amounts TO n fraud.
The naked facts are thus upon the
records OF our county, and we have
no doubt the same state Of things
exist in every county in the State
The amount of tax realized from the
assessment of 1860 in this county on
personal property for State purposes
was 81 ,267 90; from which must be
deducted ten per cent. for exonera
tions and Collectors and Treasurer's
percentage, leaving due the State
Treasurer the sum of one thousand one
hundred and forty dollars and thirty
cents, (sl,l4O 800 This is every dol
lar dne the State from this county
under the Act about which Geary &
Co blow so much Yet, what is the
fact? Two weeks ago that ringmas
ter and corruption rooster, Mackey
State Treasurer, forwards his bill fur
one thousand Sir hundred and GttyfU,
dollars and my Eve cents, 800 5o)-
being FIVE hundred and fifteen dollars
and twenty five cents moro than was
assessed and collected. Now, what is
tho rcsultl Why, the County Com
missioners are compelled TO take this
sum ont of the county funds raised
from real estate, hand it over to the
County Treasurer, and be forwards il
to Mackcy, Geary & Co, who stupidly
wickedly aud dcviIishly stand up pc
fore intelligent people and tell them
- -i @e.~,~ .,"..r 80 c'"'o $50
and glowingly refer their hearers to

These men do not only deceive the
people, but they violate the laws anJ
