Dem ocratic fitness for managing the f.
nanccs of the country is well exemplifed in
New York city. There, from population
of S0O,O 900, they collect tax of $23, ,000,-
600, about S25 piece for every man, wo-
man and child. There are in this country
40, OO0, 900 people, and at s25 head, we
would have the nice little sum of $1,000
600, 900 annually of taxes. What assurance,
pray, have We, that Democrats would be
more economical With the United States
Government than with New York city.
Give them aa equally safe hold upon each,
and they will treat both alike. Or are Dem
ocrats in New York of the Hoffman, Cox,
Brooks, Hall, Sweeney kind, worse than all
others?

A WILD CAT TAXES A CHILD OUT OF ITS
CRADLE.-On Thursday, Sept. ODD, says
the Clarion Democrat, wild cat entered
the house of Mr.. Elliot Walters, who re-
sides at Wilson's Mill, on Toby Greek, in
Knox township, about seven miles north of
Clarion, and took young child from the
cradle, and was about to commence devour-
ing it, when it was frightened away. The
parents had gone out to gather In potatoes
from lot and left the babe wrapped up,
sleeping in its cradle. A little girl was sent
in after they had been absent short time,
to see about the child, and when she opened
the door was horrifed to see large wild
cat, with the infant behind the stove. The
little babe was crying piteously, and in a
short time would doubtless have been killed
and devoured by the savage beast. On the
alarm being given, the wild cat escaped thro'
the window, and has since been seen in that
ncighborhood.

A Republican may well be proud of his
party, when he contemplates the present
condition of his country, and the wonderful
results which have sprang out of the wis
dom, tact, economy and energy of President
Grants administration. The national credit
stands higher to-day, notwithstanding the
large national debt brought on by wicked
and exhausting war, than it has at any for
mer period within the ten years last passed.

A great many journals continue to quote
the supposed declaration of King William
that he made war upon Napoleon and not
upon the French people, and to ask why,
having captured the Emperor, he does not
therefore stop the fighting and go home.
The Tribune has already mentioned that
the King never made the remark attributed
to him. 1t was an error of the Cable, by
which we ourselves, in common with 9th er
papers, were at first deceived. Mail advices
showed that what his Majesty really said
was that Prussia made war upon the French
armies, and not upon; peaceable citizens and
peasantry.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is very high
Democratic authority, and it declares that
if the party get. into power it viii carry out
these things: Refuse to pay the Govern
ment debt in gold; tax the securities the
Government has given for the money it
owes the people repeal part of the re-
construction acts; restore every rebel and
traiteI TO citizenship, without qualification
or conditions; forbid Chinese to emigrate
here; and do great many other things OF
the same kind. 1t does not actually say
that the party will restore slavery, or reduce
col0red men again into bondage, but leaves
that to be inferred. The people, however,
will take good care not to place them in
power, and thus thwart their nefarious
schemes.

The Democrats in the last Congress, by
strict party vote, voted against the reduc-

have the audacity to complain to the people
that the necessaries of life are taxed. They
voted against keeping the present tax on
whisky. Question-in Democratic estima-

DEATH OF WILLIAM f. PACKER.-Ex
Governor Packer died on Wednesday at hi.
residence, at Wiliiamsport, aged sixty-tour
years. Hon. William F. Packer was chosen
Governor of Pennsylvania at the October
election In 1857, over David Wilmot, Repub-
lican, and Isaac Hazelhurst, American.
He served as Governor from January, 1861,
when he was succeeded by Governor Curtin.
Prior to his election as Governor, he had
been State Senator from the Lycoming
District, and had been printer and editor.
He was gentleman of pleasing address and
manners, and fine specimen of the vigor-
Gus manhood of the interior of Pennsylvania.

REPUBLICAN EcoNoMY little circum-
stance shows conclusively that far greater
economy is practiced by officials at Wash
ington under the administration of President
Grant, in small things as we'll as great,
than was the case under Johnson's admins
tration. A series of maps published from
the Government Printing Office for the use
OF members OF Congress, by contract made
with the Congressional Printer during the
johnson administration, cost the govern
ment $4,000. The same work has just
been completed, under contract made with
