They say this was done because the Republicans were disposed to reduce public burdens, &c.' . The Democrats are unwilling that they should have any credit for good intentions or good acts. The truth is the Repub licans, under the tremendous pressure of public sentiment, have whipped about and are now as . anxious ;to . make an impression that they are fa vorably disposed in the matter of cutting "down the revenues "as they have been known to be inconsistent -heretofore in their oppositioo ;;;.: We think the Democrats wb'uld do well not to obstruct the Republicans in any movement or measure looking rt To rmMin rrnnr ' Tt -maftora Tint. : WlJill IUU UIU9C VI Xi tJLlCJ kl,V constrained to change front and do the very thing they hava. been' un-' willing: to do. we think they should be assisted rather .than obstructed. If is manifest to all, that-they are now moved by an anxious desire to 1 prevent the Democrats from going before the country charging them with hostility to the true interests of an overburdened people; and they are now trying to make some little . capital with which to meet the Demo crats in the campaign. We would let them reduce the tariff and inter nal taxes all they choose, and we i would not insist upon sticking , to the order of the calendar. ; . We think the opposition made a mistake. " The people's interests re quire a reduction ot the very excess sive taxes. The New York Times takes, it strikes us, ; a sensible and fair view of the discussion when it ; says : ,'XX:f': : XX' j. ' - '.' "The Democrats made the mistake of opposing the consideration of the bill, and . the Republicans, who could not possibly nave explained their present action consist ently with their course on the Commission bill, eagerly seized the opportunity, to twit uie uemocrais wiiu . uaviug auauuoneu their previous line oi policy. The -narrow partisan view of a question likeHhis is necessarily a stupid One, and Messrs. Pen dleton, Bayard, Garland, and Butler ex . posed themselves to a raking fire of taunts and sarcasm. After this sbarring the Sen ate took up the bill. And then Mr. - Yoorheca capped the climax of absurdity tor the Democrats by making a protection ist speech, i The real interests of the coun try appear to have precious little to do with the question on either side. . .

' The Stab, as we can show, in editorial after editorial, has insisted that it would be suicidal to cut down the internal 'revenues as long as the pension bill was unre pealed, and because it would require all of the . revenues to meet the ex penses oi the Government.; The Stab has insisted upon strict econo- - my before practicing a: sharp redue- tion, .It has.msisted that the inter- n& taxes should not be abolished smi should only4be reduced as the tariff ; ' is reduced. ; The revelations of each day confirm this view. ? , , ; Our readers remember how often we, "denounced the.

Orton. ; . These and other rumors - to the : same; effect were twisted and exaggerated -until it was diffi cult to know what to believe. One of the first rumors was to the effect; that the steam-tug Blanche brought the news. We interviewed Capt. Jacobs, ! and - he assured us and others that his boat brought no such report, he having left ih&Pa&port all right at the Inlet. Another rumor was that some person here had received a telegram through the Signal office, to the effect that the boat had been snagged and sunk. This -was de nied by the Signal officer, who stated that his only news was to the effect that the boat left Smithville for Wilmington at 3.80 P, M. all right. Jn some parts of, the pity we understand it was even rumored 4hat the boat had blown up. - - : , All these rumors and reports, although there were those who took special pains to contradict them and to do all in their power to allay the" anxiety, very,' naturally pro duced a great deal of excitement, and long before 6 o'clock, at whjph time the Passport was due, the wharves at and in the vicinity of Market and Water streets were crowded with people anxiously watching for! the first sign, of 'an approaching steamer. When the hour r of 6 arrived and she bad not put in an appearance, the anxiety and excitement increased, end thus continued until .fifteen minutes past the time, when a boat was seen ' rounding the "Dram. Tree." The excitement was on tip-toe, it not being certain at first whether the. ap proaching steamer was the Passport or the Minnehaha. " Soon, however, it was ascer tained to a certainty that it was the Pass- pert,' and that her flags were still flying gaily as when she started with her precious and joyous freight in the morning, deno ting that nothing serious had happened to mar the pleasures of 'the day. Then there was a happy crowd on the .wharf, and as the gallant' steamer, with - her crowded decks and saloons, passed the . wharf to turn around, their joy broke forth in three loud cheers. . ' Those on board were anxious to know - what the great "demonstration meant; and were informed as quickly as the boat came within speaking distance, and the announcement -of the cruel report which had caused so much trouble and alarm here while the excursionists were having such a . pleasant time down the rivercaused no little excitement on board of the boat, and one lady Mrs. E. Schul- ken, residing at ithe corner' of Front: and Walnut streeti--f amted, and it ' was some time before- she c0uid.be restored.' V- 4 -. Capt Harper and Others on the boat re ported thai ' everything? passed off very pleasantly, and in fact that it was one of the most enjoyable excursions of the season The only excitement that happened out of the usual routine was the breaking loose of a boat in tow, just below Big - Island, to recover which the steamer turned back a short distance. She left here at 14 minutes past 9 o'clock A M reached - Smith ville at 12.25 o'clock, went to Fort Caswell and returned; left , Smithville for the 1 return trip at 3.30 and arrived at her wharf here at 6,80 P. M., touching at Fort Fisher and being subject to the other usual delays, "i , . . How the cruel and outrageous report got started it is difficult to imagine. Certain it is that every possible effort should be made to lerret out the author of it ' - we learn mat a telegram was received here from Goldsboro last evening, before dark, asking" if the report about the loss of ne jrasspon was true. - ' LIVING WITNESSES.
