The last Republican contains local, giving
an account Of trial before Judge Bost%ick a
few days since in which the following base
,taisehood appears
e. Mr.. Todd was in for muss, and swore he
was raised among white people in Lancaster
County PENNSYLVANIA, the home of his Excel
lency, James Buchanan, where whisky is ap-
prec'ated, and did not associate with niggers.
Mr.. llatton was present at the trial, and
knew that Lancaster county was never men
toned Mr.. Todds boast was, that he was
raised in Virginia. If the regular local editor
Of the Republican, Rev. Mr.. Watkins, had writ
ten the above, we should have been very much
surprized; but as it was written by the Gipsey
looking boat that holds forth in the public
square, it gives us no surprise whatever, as it
is altogether and more than highly probable
that the writer Of it was aboring under the ef
fects Of that "rot gut whishey" which he talks
40 much about, in his article giving an account
of the trial
This attempt to ridicule the chief magistrate
ofthiS nation, by telling a deliberate falsehood
to look witty, is like all the attempts that have
been made to SANDER James Buchanan by such
sources as the author and publisher of the piece
in the RspuBzicaa. 1t will only prove an abor-
tive attempt.

war in HOwa--Aii about IL County
Seat.

On Monday, the 18th ult, as we learn from
the Marietta (Iowa) Express, company OF men
from the neighboring town of Marshall (both in
Marshall county,) entered the place and car.
ried of three prominent citizens Of Marietta
who had recently oificiated as judges Of an
election to decide the question of county seat
for the said county, Arriving at Marshall, one
of the prisoners, Judge Smith, was informed
that there was great danger Of his being lynch.
cd unless he re canvasscd the returns and dscla-
red Marshall the winning town. After some
further intimidation, Judge $, made out the re-
quired certificate declaring Marshall the county
seat. On the following morning, a train Of
wagons loadened with armed men, followed by
about forty persons on foot with muskets on
their shoulders, entered Marietta with the in
tention of carrying off the county records &c,
but theJ were met at the court house by the cit
izens Of Marietta, and repulsed without blood
shed. The next day, the court houee was guard
ed by about four hundred armed men, but no
further attempt was made to take the records.

Ehe capacity of the Negro for Trces

The New York Courier and Enquirer, yio-
lent Republican paper in late editorial nr.
ticle on liayt expresses the very decided opin-
ion that the negro is not fit to enjoy freedom
He says that, after the negroes Of Hsyti had
gained their liberty and established their inde-
pendence, they would not labor until compelled
to do so; and, with soil and climate like that
Of Hayti, one days labor would yield Sufficient
reward to pormit the spending of many days in
dlenass. At the time Of the instruction there
was exported annually from the Island $685.
300 pounds ofsugar, about n, 100000 pounds of
coffee, and 100000 of cotton. In 1902 there
was exported $4,000 pounds of sugar, A.
42O, ,470 pounds OF coffee, and 2,480,34o Of cot
ton. In 1926 the sugar crop had fallen to 32,-
864 pounds, coffee to 32, 189784, and cotton to
| 620,972. In l849 the export of coffee was ST.
608, 343 and cotton 544,126. Sugar it will
thus be seen, has disappeared from the articles
of export, the fact being, that what sugar is used
on the island is imported from Jamaica and the
United States. The total value ofthe exports
in 1889 was 205, 100000 francs, and forty years
later it was but 100000 8.
The British West India emancipations shows
similar results. According to all past expert
ence, ifsavery should be abolished in Cuba and
the United States, the world would have to do
without sugar and cotton unless new laborers
were introduced into those Countries

The New York TInsee has a correspondent at

Of January 20, thus speaks Of John &. Breslin,
late Treasurer of Ohio:-
Ifyou ever knew, you may have forgotten,
and if you never did know, 1t will bc news to
tell you, that Mr.. Breslin, formerly Treasurer
ofthe State of Ohio, who it was said ran away
with, forget how many hundred thousand dol

quietly in the neighboring city OF Hamilton.

Hotel. He is very retiring, and never obstrudes

is getting very grey. saw him the other
day and noted great change. The general
impression is that man who lives so quietly
and unostentatiously, nay even closely, as he
does, cannot have made much by running away,
and as people don't often abscond unless they
can make pile by doing SO, it is thought likely
that the deialcations will ere long be traced to
somebody other than the the ex treasurer. 0

From The States,' Washington City, Jan. o..
Erigftful Death.

John Woodhouse Heart, son of Mr. Heart
once of the Charleston Mercury, but now resi-
ding at the corner of G, near 18th street, in
this city, came by his death on Thursday sight
in fearful and extraordinary manner.
1t appears that Mr.. Heart left the house of
his parents on Thursday afternoon, stating that
he intended to spend the night at the House Of
Mrs. Walker a relation Of his, living on l.
Street, between 4th and 5th, Unfortunately
while on his way there, he was detained
at the house of another relative to whom
he paid visit, and when he reached the
house on L street, he fonnd that the famIl ly had
retired to rest and that all the doors were
locked. He then went into the alley, and en-
deavored to gain adm ssion by the stable door.
Over this door there was an opening or tran
som Insufficient width to admit his head, and
having climbed up to it he put his head and one
arm through for the purpose Of christening the
bolt inside, and while in the act doing so hR
feet slipped and he was caught under the chin
and on the back the mock by the boards above
and below, and was choked to death, and re.
manned thus suspended until yesterday morn
ing when he was found by servant who had
occasion to go to the stable.
When the body was discovered it was found
that a part Of the clothing had been torn off by
dog, (not his own,) which attacked him while
he was suspended.
Mr. Heart was yourg man ofexcellent dis
position, and to his parents, ever atiectlonatc
and obedent, and to society he promised great
future usefulness; but alas, he has thus in the
bud of manhood and the bloom ofhealth, been
cut down-another example ofthe terrible un-
certainty of life and the necessity Of being pre-
pared for death. prepare 70 the ways Of the
Lord; making straight his paths, for ye know
not at what hour Of the night he may come

The State Of Ohio and her heads Of
Bureau at Wa ashingIOm.

Br. Morgan, of the Newark Aduocate, express
es our sentiments very fully when he says
sour thanks are due the Hon. Il. j. Atkinson,
Third Auditor Of the Treasury, for pamphlet
copy OF his letter to the chairman of the House
Committee on Military Affairs, on the subject
Of claims growing out of Indian hostilities in
Oregon and Washington. The letter is nj ces-
sarily long, but furnishes thorough and search
ing exposure Of the nature and causes of the ex-
travagant demands which are continually made
on Congress for re. endorsement Of alleged out
lays claimed to have been necessary in resist
ing Indiaa hostiities in the Territories. AS an
Ohioan, we feel proud that our State has fur
nished the General Government so able and
faithful an officer as the present Third Auditor
of the Treasury. Whilst the old whig party
may rightfully point with pride to the charac-
ter and services OF Elisha Whittlesey "a name
never to be spoken except with respect,) the
Democracy Of Ohio can with no less justice
boast OF having furnished, in the persons Of Me-
dill, Mannypenny and Atkinson, three heads OF
bureau whose administration in respect to in
tegrity, vigor, ability and unsuled uprightness,
reflects honor not alone on the political party
Of which they are members, but on the State
from which they worC called"

GOV. Chase for Cubp.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "There is
great public curiosity to see the letter which
Governor Chase is understood to have written
to Republican member Of Congress from Ohio,
on the subject OF Cuba, in which he took
grounds favorable to the measure. The reasons
alleged by Chase why the Republicans should
favor Cuban annexation are supposed to be
these:

trade.

to Rob the Treasury of
Summit County.

The StDte Journal is furnished by Senator
Ashmun with the particulars of an attempt to
rob the Treasury of Summit County, on last
Sunday evening:
A school house in the suburbs Of the village
of Akron, the county seat, was fired by the
robber, or an accomplice, which Immediately
drew all the citizens to that point, when the
seeker after treasure began his work on the
window of the Treasury office, unseen, as he
supposed, but the sharp eyes of Marsha! Wright
of Akron, were upon him. and instead ofmaking
an immediate arrest, he allowed the burglar to
work away and effect an entrance, when he
was pounced upon, and "ruffled" in jiffy. The
burglar gave his name as Snapp, appeared to be
in want of cash, and went in for big haul.
| Commenting on this transaction, the Journal
says:
"We shall not wonder, to hear Of numerous
robberies and attempts Of this kind, it being one
ofthe beauties of the sub treasury law"
Our neighbor ought to have reminded its
readers Of the ''beauties" of the old law too
Under that, the attempts were much more
frequent, and were al,oays successful. The rob-
bers were of different class They were
mostly men who had access to the money un-
der so lax system that abuse was easy and de-
lection improbable. The robber then had the
inside track, or easily got it. Under the pres
ent system, strong iron safes, stone vaults and
frequent inspection Of other offers, take the
place of the looseness which characterized the
former dispensation. The difference is palpa-
bic, and the people will be thankful for it

NnTnxes fro,n 1he Ranks.

From the special report Of the Auditor OF
State to the Speaker Of the House of Represen-
tatiyes. dated the 20th ult, it seems that no
taxes have been collected from the State Bank
and Branches, and the Independent Banks gen
orally. They have reported the amount let off
under the provisions of the Goth section Of the
act incorporating them, in lieu of taxes; and the
Auditor has not recognized the validity Of the
action Of the banks, because ofthe act OF 1858,
and hence he has not drawn for the amounts
thus set of by the Banks, and therefore no rev.
enue has come into the State Treasury from
them.
We are very clearly OF the opinion that the
financial business of this country would be bet
Ter done without than with banks of issue, and
that a paper currency is an evil. We do not,
however, intend to make any point or raise any
issue ofthis kind. The legislature has by law
chartered number of banking institutions, and
money has in good faith been invested in them.
and the system is in full operation in Ohio
Let the Bankers enjoy all the benefits of their
charters and derive all the just profits that per-
ta n to their bl iness; but at the same ne let
them bear the the amount Of the burdens Of the
State-their just an equal share of taxatTou,--
which properly belongs to them. This they
should do with alacrity, and scorn any quibb'e
or occasion that may be raised under their char
ters. The people willnot consent that tany mode
of taxation is just that does not does not apply
alike to all property, in the spirit of the Consti-
tuition. Nor will they patiently hear the un-
sound doctrine advanced, that their servants
the Leeislature--may by law, relieve the prop
erty of corporations from bearing just share o
the public burdens. The taxing power is the
highest sovereign power and it cannot be fritter-
ed away by the general Assembly Property
wherever found should be taxed by the same
rule, and the managers of Banking Institutions
would, we think consult their own true interest
by conform ing at once to such a standard in
paying their taxes as would place their corporate
property on the same footing with the property
ofpriyate citizens Statesman.

The Feuds imTEac Republican

=
Our readers have been apprised that there
is a violent feud in the Republican aanks at
Washington. One portion of the party desires
to maintain the doctrine that Congress shall ex-
clude slavery in the Territories and it is in fa-
vor Of doing nothing to conciliote the Ameri
cans of the South. The other portion Of the
Republicans goes in for popular sovereignty in
the Territories, and for union with the South
ern Americans. Mr.. Washburn, of Maine,
speaking for the first named doctriuo oil the par
ty, thus pitches into the second. He says:
Il can smile at the charming patronage Of
these benignant gentlemen; but it gives me in
expressible pain ia know that Republicans here
and there are, by their words and counsels CIV
ing these men and others liccnce, or excuses at
least, for holding the low views which they
have for the character and m mssion of the Re-
publican party. 1t is too bad that men calling
them selves Republicans, should give counte-
nance to this degradation Of their party, treat
ing it as a peice of merchandise, to be disposed
o to the highest bider; and have observed that
there are some among them who seem even
more anxious to dispose of what they have on
hand than to get anything in return, rivaling in
benevolence the liberal publican, who we are
told, exults TO trust, aad bushes to be paid "
Mr. Purviance, op Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Thompson, Of New York, Republicans, have
made animated replies in behalf of their section
of the party against these expressions.
