came known that the President of the
United States, in company with his

the District of Columbia, c. w. Ford of
st. Louis, and General Dent had ar
rived in this city from Chicago. The
arrival of the distinguished guests was
Il surprise to every one, or the Forest
City would have greeted him with q
hearty and enthusiastic welcome. 1t
is his uniform desire, however, to exc
cite the least possible attention, and to
travel as quietly as private citizen
through the different cities on his
route. The well known features of the
great leader of the Union armies would
have betrayed his presence in most any
part of the world, and in an American
city he was at once recognized.
From the time of his arrival up to ten
minutes to twelve, when he left the
Kennard to take the u so train for
Pittsburg, the Kennard was besieged
with visitors, every one desirous of
catching glimpse at the greatest gen.
eral of modern times. and at aPresiden

CHARITY.

"Now abidith these three: Faith. Hope
Jharity; but the greatest of these is charity .
five knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our ni8hbor's ways;
five knew the little losses,
Sorely grieeous day.by day.
Would we then Sc often chide him
For his lack of thrift and gain ?
Leaving on his heart a shadow
Leaving on our lives stain,
If we knew the clouds above US,
Held but gentle blessing there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair?
Would we shrink from little shadows
Fitting o'er the dewy grass,
five knew that birds of Eden
Were in mercy flying past2
five knew the silent story,
Quivering thro' the heart of pain,
Would We drive itiwith our GOODNESS,
Back to haunts of guilt again.
Life hath many Il tangled crossing,
Joy yiaath many break of woe;
But the cheeks. tear-washed, are whitest
And kept in life are flowers by snow.
Let us reach into our bOsoms
For The key to other lives,
And with love toward errinS nature,
Che rish good that tillssurvives;
So that when our disrobed spirits,
Soar to realms of light above,
We may say, Dear Father, love.us,
Fen as we have shown our love.''

others who adhered to the principles
of the Republican party, and appoin-
ted Democrats where he could do
so. The character Of the appoint
ments, and the demoralizing influence
which his opinions and conduct had
upon them, were seen in the loss of
of scores of millions of dollars of
revenue in those wears. The large
gain in the collection is mainly due
to the determined and ayowed DUR
pose of General Grant to secure an
honest administration of the revenue
laws, and the appointment of Repub-
licans to Office earnestly devoted TO
his economical policy.
REDUCTION OF TAXES.
During the recent session of Con-
gress taxes have been reduced more
than S75,000,000. The taxes have
been removed from transportation
by canals and railways. from sales
by dealers and manufacturers. The
income tax has been reduced to two
and half per cent on all incomes
above $4,000; and it is to expire at
the end of two years. The tax on
tea has been reduced from twenty
five to fifteen cents per pound on
coffee from five to three cents. and
the tax on sugar and molasses has
been reduced in the aggregate twelve
millions of dollars per annum. By
this reduction of taxation the indus
tries of the people and the necessa
ries of life have been relieved oi
burdens amounting to millions. The
Funding bill is an important finan-
cial measure, which contemplates
the saving of interest upon the pub
lie debt by the exchange of outstand-
ing 6 per cent bonds for those of g
lower rate of interest, to the amount
of 26,500,000 a year. While 8
reduction in taxes transfers the bur.
den o the debt from one year to
another, from one generation to
another, a reduction in the rate oil
interest is an actual saving to the
country, not only for the present
generation, but for all time. AnC

financial measures, intended to light
en- the public burdens. received little
countenance and support from The
Democratic party, whose response

ORIGIN OF THE PARTY.

Recurring to the origin, Republi-
cans will remember, when the land
was the theatre of stern and ire
pressible conflict between the de-
mons of slavery and caste in the
spirit of liberty and equality, when
the slave power held great interests
and powerful organizations in its
grasp, and ruled the nation with i'm
perial sway, that the founders of the
party, instructed by passing events,
with convictions deepened and zeal
quickened by the teachings oehisto-
ry and of Holy Writ, and inspired
by the deathless words of the patri-
OTIS, statesmen and heroes of our
earlier time, rose to the exigencies
of the hour, opposed the haughty
am bilious, the maddening passions,
the cruel prejudices and the disor-

To the Republicans Of The United
States:
The Executive and Legislative De

ment, and two thirds Of the State
Governments, have been committed
TO your keeping. Such power carries
with it grave responsibilities. The
people, as is their right, will hold
you to a strict accountability for the
exercise of this great trust. Elec-
tions are soon to be held for the Ma
tional House of Representatives
These elections will determine the
political complexion of the popular
branch of Congress. They will, too,
determine the political character OF
several State Governments. And
these results will be accepted as the
verdict of the people upon the ideas,
principles and policies of the Re
publican party, and upon the meas
ures and character CT the national
administration. TO these response.
bilities, and the gravity of these is
sues, your thoughtful consideration
is invoked. In the present juncture
it behooves the Republican party
not to forget its origin, nor its his
tory. Amid the difficulties that be-
set it, and the responsibilities and
labors, which the needs of the coun-
try in the new and untried condition
Of affairs impose, it should remem
ber that it was borne Of the nations s
necessities, and thus far it has grad
ually met the exigencies for which
it was formed. Having passed tri-
umphantly through three great eras
of its history, it is now summoned
to enter upon its fourth. Gathering,
therefore, inspiration from past sue
cess, it should grapple hopefully, ,and
with unshrinking confidence, with
the duties of the present and near
future.

THE REVENUES.

Without any increase in the artic-
les subject to taxation or in the rate
of taxation, the revenues of the fiscal
year ending 30th of June 1870, were
nearly S469,000, 900, against less
than S371, 100000 for the year end
ing 30th of June, 1869, showing a
gain of nearly 33S,000,000. On the
other hand, the expenses of the fiscal
year, 1870, were less than those of
1869 by more t@an 1000, 600, thus
showing an increased revenue and
saving in expenditures of more than
sixty-seven millions of dollars in
the fiscal year of General Grants
administration. In the last sixteen
months of Johnson's administration
the receipts from customs and inter
nal revenue were less than three
hundred and seventy two millions of
dollars. During the first sixteen
months of General Grants admins
tration they were more than four
hundred and sixty nine millions,
showing an increase of nearly nine
ty seven millions of dollars. Re
publicans will remember that during
the last .wo years of Mr.. Johnson's
administration he removed Republi-

HIS APPEARANcE.

The appearance of the President
is much the same as in his photo
graphs and portraits seen through
out the country. He continually
smokes his cigar, seems to be in ex-
cellent health and in the most jo-
vial mood. His eye is sharp. his
lips firmly set indicate the greatest
firmness. Plain and unassuming
in his conduct, he can assume the
dignity of the proudest monarch
and yet be always accessible to the
humblest citizen.

would cross question her on her return,

THE TRIBUNE has some stories abou

The TRIBUNE has some stories about
the humors of book selling: Country
customers often include other articles i'll
their orders for books. and the houses
send out and purchase them. One order
for 200 or 800 popular works contained
the item, Il Smoked Classes. The
clerk who filled it. bought and shipped
to the customer pair Of colored speeta
cles instead of the desired book, with the
name of which he did not happen to be
familiar. For months afterward the re-
minding jests of his fellow clerks made
the life OF that unfortunate man burden
to him.
Another order enumerated, "Six Prim-
tive Christianity. 1t was sent back
with the response pencilled opposite that
item, and not at all in jest-''No Primi-
tive Christianity to be found IN Chicago!"
The Impenitent Dead is a work by

house were all startled by the inquiry
