from the hands Of the land pirates that have had
the control for many years may go on vigorously
and result in success A MILL of dollars will
not cover the State plundcrngs for the last two
years. This money all comes out Of the pockets
of the taxpayers. Taxes have been yearly in
creased until our most thrifty farmers hardly
raise the "tn" that corrupt official require at their
hands, neither does the most degenerate rat that
is burrowng in the public crib promise any amend
ment in his course. They do not propose any
change for the BETTER but they willing to take
few new men to gull the people and get longer
lease of their thieving official lives. Nothing
short ofa complete cleaning out Of Black Repub.
)ican officials will relieve the people, and even that
at this time, will not save them from heavy bur
dens, resulting from past corruptions, for some
time to come. But the change must be made OF

all the furniture destroyed. Mr.. Mitchell
with several clerks, was in the building
at the time, one of whom was taken out
inscnsible.
Mob afterwards attacked State Bank,
Bank of Milwaukee, juneau Bank, and
Martins Brokers Office. Damage done

According to the verbal statement of
Gen Scott, last week. there are now un-
der arms, aud in pay of the Government
OF the United States, 220, 600 men. To
maintain this army, after its equipment,
will require 81 900 600 annually to each
regiment, or 1920, ,O00, 200 year. The
Navy viii require, in addition, half that
sum, so that with the ordinary exposes of

Firing Into a Railroad STrnin--
Thrilling scene.

A private in the Massachusetts Eighth
Regiment, stationed at the Relay House,
nine miles west of Baltimore, sends to
the Gloucester Mass Telegraph the
following graphic account of the firing
upon tho train of cars near that camp
on the night of the Goth ult., about
which statements have already been made:
The sentry swung lantern as a sign al
for it to stop. There is difference of
opinion among the men whether this was
obeyed. most certainly believe the
train began to break up, while others
think more steam was put on. We were
ordered to draw up on the side Of the
track aud cock our pieces. In a second
after, to my horror, we were ordered to
fire AS there were only two cars,
and these were both lighted; and, as !
heard some Of my comrades say, al
though | had not noticed it myself, that
there were women among the passengers,
| had no idea Of committing what SEEM
ed to me murder.
Happily, many others Of our squad
of fifteen to eighteen were impressed with
the same feeling, and we fired over the
cars. But | heard the glass rattle, and
shuddered at what might have been done
by the rest. | saw, too, one man delib-
erately fire into the rear Of the last car,
but, thanks to his poor Workmanship,
the ball went crash through the glass
and out OF the roof We were ordered
to reload, which we did, and then rushed
for the cars, which had stopped. The
first man | heard speak said -Four OF
five are killed." and then another cried
out GOOD God two women are shot.
My blood curdled at the sound. lump.

women and number Of children among

The Baltimore Sun says of the affairs:
Colonel Jones reports that ho ha,
caused a thorough investigation into al
the circumstances, and finds that neither
directly nor indirectly can any blame
be attached to the employees Of the road
He states that t was occasioned by q
fragrant breach Of discipline on the part
of the picket guards, which has received
proper attention, and does not require
explanation, as the service would be
injured thereby"

Negro in the Custom House.

From the New York Leader, we learn
that VIM. O'Brien, citizen of the 18th
Ward, was removed from the position OF
marker in the Custem House, and ne.
gro named Robert Vosburgh appointed
in his place. 1t adds:
This is to be the Inauguration of the Negro
reign, is iti And Prince Vosburgh is to TAX G
the lead in the marking department of the
Custom House. We rather think that tho

An event of mirthful nature. to the
lockers on at least, took place at the Re-
lay House Of tho Baltimore " Ohio Rail-
road yesterday afternoon. 1t appears
that female by the name Of Jenny Smith
had undertaken in company with her para
mour(a an individual named Getty)to con
yey to Harpcrs Ferry lot Of letters aud
articles contraband Of war" Her pur-
pose was anticipated, however by Depu-
ty Marshal Williams, who stepped upon
the train at the Camden street Depot with
her, and upon reaching the Relay House,
informed the military officers there sta
toned that he was fully satisfied of the
fact that Miss Smiths clothing consisted
Of more than crinolne.
low to get at the "subicct" was a
question which, for n time, seemed puz-
zle to the gentlemen inspectors, but it
was finally proposed and acceded to that
a committee of ladies should.be called up
on to perform the search. Accordingly
two Union ladies were chosen, who at
once proceeded to the task of counting
and feeling the texture OF her garments, be-
meath which they discovered and brought
to light about ten thousand military but
tons for the soldiers Of the Southern Con
fedcracy, a considerable quantity of gun
caps, large number of letters addressed
to well known characters from Baltim ore
at llarpcrs Ferry, DE. These were all
nicely packed and strapped around her
waist beneath her clothing. On the per
son of Mr.. Getty several letters werc
found. The capture OF the prizes was al
that the soldiers desired, and Miss Smitl
was allowed to return to the city with he
loved one.

The Governor Shall Appoint"

In reading over the laws passed by the
late Republican Legislature of Ohio we
have been astonished to notice the amount
Of power that has been given the Govern
or o. Ohio It's almost incredible No
petty despot of Europe has one tenth the
power conferred upon him that has heen
voted to Governor Dennison, If this
power was used fairly and wisely, perhaps
the people would not complain SO much;
but when used solely for the purpose of
putting into place and power political
parasites, friends and relatives, to eat the
peoples substance. it is no wonder that
"cursings, loud and deep" are heard in
every quarter -,Ssneea Advertiser.
