The Pennsylvania Republican State
Committee have published an address
setting forth the issues of the present
canvas. After warmly commencing the
present Republican administration of the
Government for its wise economy and sue
ccSsful foreign policy, the address says
that to continue the Republican party in
power is to continue the policy begun,
both in State and nation, of maintaining
the public credit, paying off our debt re-
ducing taxation, settling international
difficulties without bloodshed, and sus-
tanning the great principles involved in the
measures necessarily growing out Of the
war. To restore the Democratic party to
power is to destroy the public credit,pave
the way for reputation, bring in the old
tide Of corruption, mismanagement and
extravaganza, and open up anew all the
questions involved in the reconstruction
Of the Southern States, now settled upon
an honorable basis.

A REMARKABLE ACmIEvEMENT.--lt
having been decided to change the gauge
of the Mississippi and Ohio Railroad, a
line $40 miles long, the work was recent
ly accomplished in the extraordinarily
short time of seven hours The operation
involved the removal of both rails, each
being moved seven aud half inches, so
as to reduce the gauge from six feet to
four feet nine inches. A force 1920 men
were employed in the work. The road
was divided into sixty-eight sections of
five miles each, and at daybreak on Sun
day the work commenced simultaneously
along the whole line, with an average
force of forty men to each section. Each
section gang was divided into two parties,
one working from each end Of the five
mile section so as to meet in the middle.
The work included the removal of the
rails inward and spiking them in the new
positlon-altogethe ESQ miles of rails OF
the main line, besides many miles OF
switches, with their frogs. The work, it
is said, was done in substantial and sat
isfactory manner, and on Monday morning
narrow gauge trains ran the entire length
of the road, The engines and cars, OF
course, had to be altered as well rs the
track, and this work appears to have
been accomplished with equal celebrity and
success

Commissioner Pleasanton's perversity
and his defiance of authority is likely to
involve the Government in some trouble
with regard to the supply of internal rev.
enue stamps. Some time ago the Com
missioner awarded the contract for paper
for the stamps to the Hudson Paper Com
pany. This was done without the least
consultation with Secretary Boutwell,, and
the latter, for good and sufficient reasons
annulled the contract, and directed Pleas
anton to appoint committee Of experts
to examine the different kinds of paper
submitted, and to award the contract af
ter thorough examination. The Com
missioner refused to carry out these in
structions and no contract was made
The demand for stamps, and especially
for beer stamps, has been so great tina
the stock of paper on which they ar
printed has become almost exhausted, an
it is feared the printing will have to stol
unless Mr.. Boutwell, steps in and assume
all control and authority, as he certaiul
has right to do under the circumstances
This course would probably precipitat
matters, and speedily determine who
to rule in the Treasury Department Bout
well or Pleasanton.

The Catholic reform movement in
Bavaria is steadily developing. At first
it was merely protest against the dogma
of papal Inlallibilty but now the reform
is well-organized, and its committee in
Munich, supported by the majority Of the
University professors, and large numbers
of priests and laymen, is taking steps to
establish church in that city. If this
plan is carried out, the government will
be compelled to take sides in favor of OF
against the new movements but hitherto
it has given every encouragement to DIR.
Dollinger. The sympathy with his views
and the reform movement seems to be in
creasing throughout Germany, so much
so that the Pope has made indirect over
lures to him, looking to his allegiance
and favor. But the sturdy theologiar
maintains his position, and regards the
Papal authorities as private gentlemen
whom he is willing to see, but unwilling
to treat with

Since March. 1869, the decrease in the
national debt has been over 1898, 000,-
600 during the last month Of June, ST.
l03, 349,9l. Such an exhibit is highly
favorable to the present administration
and will tend greatly to offset any objec.
tons to the management of any other de-
partment. 1t is matter Of very little
consequence to the people OF large, how
ever it may effect politicians, by whose
means this handsome reduction is brought
about, so long as it reduces the debt, but
the people would be glad to see some re-
duction in the item of taxation whothel

and observation in the State the negroes
nioycd all the privileges in the cour is
accorded to the whites in fact the jurics
seem to lean II little toward the negroes,
from the apprehension that they might
be suspected Of doing injustice to them.
In reply to a question whether he knew
Of white men having committed offences
against the negroes, he replied that he
prosecuted white man for the murder
of negro, and he was convicted of man.
slaughter and sentenced for the full term
allowed by law. In the same court, a
white man charged with the murder of a
negro wos found guilty and sentenced to
be hanged on the first Friday Of Septem-
ber and while these two trials were in
progress twelve white citizens Of WASH
ington county were arrested under the
Ku-Klux law, carried $50 miles and
tried by United States Commissioner
assault and battery on negroes They
were kept in Jail several days, but on in
vcstigation before General Swayne and
a carpet Dagger named Lcet they were
acquitted.
Witness said he had no reason to be-
lieve that there was any organized band
of Ku.K lux in Georgia for political pur-
poses nor had he ever heard of any.
He, however, knew of band of marau-
ders, like Morrclls gang, that extended
through portion Of the counties of the
district in which he lived, and two white
men were convicted in Washington coun-
ty, suspected of belonging to the band.
A man named Beese, who killed negro,
was found guilty by military commiss-
ion, but was pardoned by President John
son. This same man not long ago
killed another person, was tried, found
guilty and sentenced to be executed on
the 4th of August. Gov. Bullock re-
prieved him, and his friends said that in
order to have him pardoned it was neces-
sary to make some arrangements. As
to the nature of the arrangements witness
replied that they involved the raising of
a sufficient amount Of money in the fur
therance of their design. Having been
asked what effect the disfranchisement
under the 14th amendment had on the
public mind, the witness replied that it
was cause Of complaint among the peo-
pie against the Government. The people
murmured because the men heretofore
accustomed to conduct public affairs kept
out Of these offices where their former
slaves are now law makers If the dsa.
bilities of the people were removed and
they were allowed to select their best
men for public Offices, there would be no
cause of complaint against the Govern
ment The relations of the black and
white races are perfectly harmonious.
The negroes have been neither cheated
nor swindled, but are fairly treated.
Difficulties frequently arose because the
negroes could not tell, in calculating the
shares of the crops, whether one-tenth or
one.third was the most, and frequently
arbitrator were called in to determine
the question for them. Having been
asked whether he knew of any person
having been whipped by disguised per
sons, Gen. Wright replied that n white
man named Ferguson was seized by 6
band of negroes, stripped and nearly
whipped to death by him.

BECOMING BETTER ACQUAINTED. 1t is
an almost universally acknowledged truth,

awe, and it may be with fear Hence
whatever tends to promote the intercourse
of nations with each other, whether in
the way of commerce or Of travel, must
be reckoned among the agents for good
in producing right understanding Of
each other, and mutual good will. But,
perhaps, of no class of visitors can this
be said so emphatically as ofthose 'Prcss
