| Recently a warrent was issued for the arrest of
| one Pinto charged with such an offense. A
! deputy marshal went with posse to execute the
warrant. In his report to the marshal, he says
| Pinto assembled from twenty-five TO fifty men,
and set him and the law at defiance when Gnu
| toned to desist Pinto replied, when Hancock
| is elected this d. foolishness will stop" The
thing to stop thus piously predicted Is the eollec-
ton Of the tax on whisky, that mild beverage, so
sacred to the democratic heart, and so grateful
to the democratic stomach. and nOurishing to
| democratic principles. The law is deiied IN Ar
kansas, and the officers apply to the governor for
the of the arms Of the United States loaned to
| Arkansas, and the governor replies that he dare
not permit the arms to be used, because If he
| should and If a moonShiner should be killed.
! he would have to leave the state. Washington
! raised army when he was president and
| marched ut its head to put down such lawessness
! and he kept the army in Pennsylvania three
months after il down to that 1t did not get
! up again. Now there thirty-twO soldiers OF
| the United States in Alabama and t.ty-seyen IN
/ rkansas and if 100 more should be ordered to
, either state the country would not be big enough
| to hold the noise. IIancoeks order No. 40 would
| leap from the democratic Scabbard, and we
should hear how the military must be always
| subordinate to the civil power, and how the
/ courts are open.
SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.
War claims upon the treasury have been and
! will be subjects fruitful to much agitation. | am
moved to refer to il now by the wholly groundess
| assertion in regard TO it going the
rounds of party journals The fashion Of this
assertion seems to have been set by Mr.. Randall,
the speaker of the house OF representatives. Mr..
Randall is one of the ables and most intelligent,
| as he is one Of the most courageous men of his
party and speak of him with much respect. In
| several speeches he has taken up the matter Of
| southern claims ALWAYS to say that they
| barred by the fourteenth amendment Of the CON
stitution. II puzzles me to see how as discerning
| man can have fallen into such an error. The
| proceedings over which he presided constantly re-
! flute the assertion. In the fourteenth amendment
! stands these words: Neither tho United States
| nor any state shall assume or pay any debt OBJ
legation incurred in the aid of the instruction or
rebellion against the United States, or any claim
for the loss emancipation of any slave: but all
| such debts, obligations, and claims shall be held
illegal and void" The claims which stand as stag
gering totals in bills already before congress and
in other bills said to be waiting not touched
by this section of the constitution. For example,
| it is insisted that the direct tax imposed by the
nation on all states in 1861 should, as to the Sc
coded states. be refunded. The amount claimed
| is 81 ,492 10 Again. il is said the war tax laid
on cotton should be refunded The argument is
| that cotton, like wheat and corn is n product Of
the earth and that wheat and corn were not
taxed and therefore cotton sbould NOT have been
taxed There is nInusibilitv in this hit Metro
leum is a product of the earth also aud that was
heavily taxed, not only during the war but after
| ward and vet Pennsylvania has never claimed
that the none should be refunded.
PRETENDED DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

propriations | do not 50 understand it, The
claim Of economy is no better than a juggle.
