Accordingly, I was arrested on tho
18th of May, at homo, by a detachment
of 300 cavalry, under Mnjor Portor,of
Harrisburg, of whom I rucolvod noth

in a buggy to Snllslmry, where wo took
the cars. I saw no undo on the trip,
though I thought 1 snw an ass at tho
Gcnpritl's headquarters. This impres
sion Inis been since confirmed.
The General, no doubt, remembers,
among ptlitr incidents bl the war; the
dressing up of a strumpet—who assist
ed him int putting' down the rebellion
—in the uniform of an orderly and in-
trodheing Iter into a respectable fami

Ouo Thousand Dollars a Mluuto.

For tliroo consecutive years, which
have elapsed since tho cessation of all

One thousand dollars a minuto I
No rest I No Intermission!
It is truly appalling I Anil this on'

the public debt I
Interest did wo say? It does not

increasing i
Aud such a debt I Its magnitude is
almost beyond the power of human com'
prehension I
Tho Debt m Silyor.
It is stated in the Sunday Nows, of
this city that the amount of tho puli-
lie debt in silver dollars, if spread out
singly upon a smooth, lovel plain,'as
dost ns they would lie, would cover
an nrea of nine hundred square miles 1
And that the eiuie numherof silver
dollars would lie sufficient to lay n
wall four feet high, the columns in close
contaut one hundred and twenty-five
miles long I
It would require one million four
hundred and eighty-four thousand and
fifty-eight men to lift these dollars,
each man lifting one hundred pounds 1
These dollars would weigh one hun
dred nnd forty-eight millions four hun
dred and seventy-live thousand pounds.
This would lie soventy-four thousand

Taros—How tin Poor unit pays
Them.
It is a favorite theory of the. Radical
partytlmt tho poor mail pays no taxes;
that because lie docs not, nt nnimnl
periods, draw a check for so much
utnficy due tho government for income
tax, or tax on real estate, tlmt, there
fore', he is free from all burdens of this
character. This view is proclaimed
by Radical orators from the stump,
nnd repeated in the Journals of that
party. But there never, was a more
erroneous position assumed or stated:
In point of fact, the poor laboring man
pays as much, if not more tax, in pro
portion, than the rich man. To lie
sure tho tax is not direct, hut it is
unite the less certain and burdensome.
As taxation is imposed .upon land amt
money, the price of all kind of goods
advances. Tito laborer buying them
nt the retail store, has to pay not only
tho original value of tho tiling, hut all
the tax on it that lias been paid nt each
stage by the manufacturer or Importer,
tho wholesale dealer and tho retail
store-keeper. Tito tax is shifted froth
one to the. other, with additions at
each stage, until it comes to the custo
mer—tho ono who buys tho goods to
use and not to sell. And liuro the bur
den rests; lie must pay the whole ac
cumulated amount of taxation, and
get none of it back. As long ns tho
goods are being sold nnd transferred
from hand to hand; so lung iheiitxis
kept shirting from one man to another;
but when tho article ceases to bo turn
ed over'nnd becomes applied to the use
for which it was designed, then the tax
enn ho no further shifted. The man
who wears the shirt pays tho tax of
tho slore-kocper who sold it, of tho
wholesale dealer who supplied it to tile
store, and of every man who has hand
led it, back to the cotton-factory m 1-
lionnire in whose mills it was wovon.
As .Tctrersqn says: “Taxation Is likon
ball rolling down stair?, it bumps on
oaclt step, but it finally rests on the
lowest." That Is the working man,
and ho therefore is the most deeply in
terested in having un.lioncst, economi
cal government iu order that taxation
may not enhance the volume of all he
uses and supplies to ids family. The
Radicals are wasteful, extravagant,
corrupt. They linvo increased debt
nnd taxation, nnd will continue to do
so. Is stiuli a party entitled to the
support of working men ?—Philadel
phia Age.
Sensible.—In his brilliant Portland
speech, Richard O'Gnrmnn hit the nail
fnlrly on the head.. If Gen. Grant is
the great soldier his friends elaim,
let him remain tviicre ho can he useful,
nnd not spoil a good soldier to mako
a poor President.

Not many days since n miniature ars

the authorities. This led to the fur
ther revelation that ono Iiarhcr Lewis,
county commissioner, and chairman of
tlte Radical .county executive commit

thorized agent of tho leagues of West
Tennessee, for the procurement of nruis

and several kegs of powder were found
