ltis becoming a very serious question as 10
what is 10 become Of that class Of persons
who, prior TO the war, we're able 10 live not
merely comfortably, butto enjoy manJo Of the
luxuries OF life 10 the cities upon salaries OF
$500 q a. year thereabouta. II IL evident
snough. that ~ things are going on, AZ prices
are advancing, and the greater luxury Of the
few immensely rich is becoming more marked,
the cashier, the agent, the professional men
81 rule, and ell others, who arc not In the
way Of great Bpecu lsiions, or able TO live upon
alredy accumulated capital, must retrograde
IN their position. Comparatively speaking,
aud relatively to others, the distinction Il btS
coming wider every day, and II is worthy tie
consideration Of all, whether or no this is not
q sign OF ultimate dssadence. The strength
OF any country is in its producing and labor
ing classes, and those who BY attention TO
special professions aid In the conduct Of the
business Of the country II cannot be denied,
we think, that Injury has taken rapid stride
in extent IN this county within the last four
years This, Of itself, is undoubtedly an evil,
but in order TO make the evil still more baneful,
it is more than ever difficult 10 obtain 10
ordinary business q fair business profit and
living. The administration has in lie paper
money policy lnaugurated an evil, the extent
OF which no man can measure, but which is
likely 10 prove such curse 10 the country as
10 not yet dreamed Of There are 'Rinss" in
oil sorts Of business, which by sny possibility
can be made TO come under such mani pula-
ton. Flour, coal, aud almost every necessity
of life, are carried up TO prices far beyond
what the nature Of the case require, BY the
operations spectators, and the poor and mid
die classes Gro taxed beyond oil deconcy, in
order that's lew may get speedily and inordin.
ately rich.
As q specimen OF this Of business, while
-four is 90 exorbitsntly high At the sea board,
there are millions of bushelsat Chicago, Nil
waukee and Detroit, and the surrounding eoun q.
try, kept back; BY mere spectators. Il will
be readily seen, that this may end 10 high
prices during the winter withouts profit even
to the speculators. When canal navigation
shall have ceased, this great amount Of wheat
and -four muSl be brought forward BY rail At
an increased cost, the railway only being
benefited BY the operation. We may before
spring, be almost in the situation OF the
South during the later years of the war !;
abundance in one section, and starvation in
another.
We are quite aware that any attempts to
stem the tide OF speculation will DO Of but
little avail, but there is q conclavs idea which
We oil might entertain and act upon i, is
this We may ell in our households pratice
that economy, and live in that generous yet
unostentations manner, which shall at once
be profitable to ourselves. and q proper ex.
ample to others.

Reign OF Terror Drawing 10 "a
Close.

Ii would seem to be the destiny of civil.
lied nations. at some period OF their history
to pass through crisis of bloodshed
usurpAtion and oppression Mr.. Webster
with foresight almost prophetic, fore
warned us, that such would be our doom
if the Abolition faction ever got control of
the Government. We did not expect to
see it in our day; but everything now
moves rapidly, and fortunately our reign
of terror has moved rapidly also the
hideous nightmare has not rested long
enough upon the popular mind to destroy
our innate love for the principles of liberty
The wave Of fansticism has indeed swep
over us, but after deluging the land with
blood, and throwing Ms back for half
century by the destruction of the finest
portion Of our country, and by heaping a
burdensome debt upon us, it has spcnt its
force, and now we can commence recupera-
ton. Who would have thought that re-
formation would have commenced in New
England Who would have thought
that Connecticut would have been the first
to throw aside fanatcsm. and come back
to sober Democratic principles =? Yet
such is the fact Who would have
thought that President johnson would
rely upon Democratic men and measures
for the re establishment Of the nation ?
Yet such is the fact New York and New
Jersey, we believe, will soon follow. and
the nation will rejoice to see one State
after another rising above the Surges Of
fanaticism and civil war by which they
have go long been overwhelmed. The
reign OF terror is almost over anu the
reign Of reason is commencing. nI

THE WAY STARK COUNTY WAS
CARRIED.

That there was vast deal Of illegal
voting done in this county is past doubt.
We have heard of illegal voting done in
various parts Of the county. In Sugar
creek the dominant party were quite bold
and open about il the Judges of election
refusing to entertain or receive testimony
as to the utter incompetsnCy Of men offsr-
ing Cox votes.
In Alliance the thing was done by
wholesale. Over one hundred students Of
Mt. Union College voted. despite all chal.
lenging and demonstrating. OF course
these students are there on temporary busi-
ness, and hence are not residents in the eve
Of the law, and could not legally vote. But
the order had gone out from the Canton
leaders that their cause was desperate, and
. bold game must be played or they were
gone. Money was not lacking to back up
the command, aud the game Was but too
successful. Our Democratic friends rely-
ing on an honest aud fair election, we're
not as active, Eesolute and determined as
they should have been.
. Ia addition to this. il seems negroes
voted at Massfllon, and at other points in
the county. All this, too, when the Con
sttution Of Ohio defines citizen to bs
{" whit" man.
These party leaders are so welded to
party affairs- --so earnestly in favor of the
the Negro---that they trample upon Law
and the Constitution to accomplish their
object. They hesitate not to disregard all
the sacred obligations Of law, as we'll as
the established rules Of society in this
country. Mob law, arbitrary arrests, Mill
tsrt Commissions, illegal violence in all
shapes are justi6Abls when required to
further tho schemeS Of the desperate abOli-
tion lsaders.--IStayk Co1Nly Dsmocraf.

The St. Louis Republican is right when
it says, that the recent forward movement
in the reduction of the Army will be wei
coined by all our tax payers, who are NOT
living out Of the National Revenues. The
order Of General GRANT, announced few
days since, musters out Of service the
whole volunteer cavalry now east of the
Mississippi. A similar order, only modi-
fed so as to embrace q good part Of the
infantry force, may, we hope. soon be
found advisable as 70 the large army now
kept up at heavy cost west Of the Missis-
sippi. There are few score of thousands
of red men, roaming over the plains or
through the mountains, as to whom it has
been often said that it is cheaper to feed
than to fight them. We trust that the
efforts Of the Government to treat with
them will result in showing that it is con.
sistent not only with humanity. but with
our interests, to pursue q pacific policy
toward them. II is the belief Of many,
who have had the best opportunities oi
studying the character and disposition oi
the Indians, that they would appreciate
such policy and respond to it, supposing
its operation to be kept free from counter.
acting interferences on the part of badly
disposed white men. II the United States
were at peace with the Indians, as they
easily might be, four-fftbs Of the present
force now occupying the Indian country
might be withdrawn from it.
With the exception of black gsrrisonl
at some of the seA-coast forts. for which
the requisite number of regiments hav,
been settled, all the black troops now il
the service are to be mustered out. This
disbandment is to proceed as rapidly al
may be, consistently with the wants of thu
several departments as reported by th'
department commanders.
1t is said that it is in contemplation tC
reduce the army even below 10000 men
This number is certainly as large as any
requirements Of the country call for. Il
is useless to repeat that we need not keeI
up any army for defense against foisigr
aggression. We were never less in dan
ger from foreign nations than now. Th.
same remark is really true of danger from
intrenal causes. There was probably never
in the whole history Of the country a time
when insurreetion, revolt or rebellion wa,
to be feared 30 little AS at this moment
nor is it probable that for many long yesri
to come any portion Of our people will fee
any stomach for fight " on that line"
