State journal. Our time for effort

and we'll done;
The campaign for the Union cause
is being vigorously prosecuted by
means of popular meetings; and the
great body of the men comprising
the Union party, are earnestly and
lsquarely engaged therein. This is
well and promises good results; but
there are more direct and important
duties than attention to or interest
in public meetings. We take it for
granted that all thoughtful Union
men recognize the fact

TAXES.

The Democracy shrek about taxes.
Had they given the Government the
support loyal men were in duty bound
to give, the war would have been
closed in two years and the debt
would be but half as large. To their
disloyal course the people may charge
the burden they are bearing. They
assisted the enemy in piling up
expenses.

DEMOCRACY THE SAME EVERY
WHERE,

The Democratic party is slightly
dcmoralized. At least in different
States, their principles are widely dis
similar.
Democrats arc always crying that
Democracy is the same everywhere,
and call on the people to cling to
its time.honored principles. The
platforms of the Ohio and New York
Democracy differ very materially on
all points.
Hon. John b. Haskin, Chairman of
the Committe on resolutions, of the
New York Democratic Convention,
in letter to the New York Herald,
gives some interesting points in the
history of the Convention, and shows
why the resolutions were not SINH.
lar to those of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. 1t seems that sev
eral resolutions were presented,
among which were three that smack
ed strongly of the Ohio platform,
which three were rejected. Those
three, we are informed by Mr.. Has.
kin, were: Gone on arbitrary ar
rests, .illtary courts, suspension OF
habeas corpus, ETC.; another in fav-
or of disbanding tho army, abolish
ing military bureaus, etc; and an
other in favor of abolishing United
States revenue collectors and asses
sors, and Of comforting the perform
ancc OF their duties upon State Off.
cials; and still another indorsing the
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
platforms"
These resolutions were not consid-
cred at all polite, and were uncere,
moniously voted down. Mr.. Haskln
goes on to explain, as follows
"Tho Committee on Platrorm nrc

resolutions submitted, and for crop

AMOUNTS TO.

EXEMPTED CURRENCY Y-WIAT IT
AMOUNTS TO.
From an official statement nf tho
Public Debt OF the United States
August lst, 1865, published by
! Treasurer McCulloch, we learn that
the legal tender notes in circulation
amounts to 1854. 1873, $50 - SIX
| HUNDRED AND EIGHTY. -FOUR
MILLIONS, ONE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND and
| NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
! NINE DOLLARS.
BY an act of Congress, passed
} June 80, 1864, this immense sum oI
money is eIempt from taxation.
The effect of this is. the rich man.
who has his thousands in bank, goes
scot free, while the taxes which he
onght to pay are assessed upon real
estate and personal property, and
Farmers and Mechanics are compel
led to bear the burden that others
should share.
How does that operate upon the
industry of the county?
u is a premium on tdleneSS!-for it
discourages honest labor by imposing
all the burden upon it, and is an in
ccntivc to turn property into money
and live in idlcncss upon the interest.
With this incentive the laborcrs will
become fewer every year, and the bur
den upon them heavier.
lft.e laborIrg men Of this country
are alive to their interests, they will
votcwith the Democratic party, which
is in favor of all bearing their share
of the public burden, and opposed
to moneyed aristocracy.
The above is from the Courier,
and we give the writer tho benefit Of
his capitals and italics.
That these notes are not taxed at
all is not true. They are exempted
from State and local taxation, but are
taxable for governmental purposes.
The reason of their being exempt
from State and local taxation is plain
enough; The notes, like the U. S.
bonds, were issued in this case to fur
nish money to carry on the war-to
furnish revenue. Were they taxable
by State legislation, it is obvious that
there would be no limit to the amount
of tax leyled-it might be as much
as each State should see fit to put up
on them. This would have ten.
dency to render u. s. securities
worthless. 1t would depreciate its
credit and prevent the Government
from getting money except at q sac
rlfice. We have informed the Cour
ier that the States have no right to
tax L. S. securities, according TO the
decision of the Supreme Court, the
highest authority in the land. See
Chicl Justice Marshall's decision.
We very much doubt that any rich
man has n large amount of these
notes in any bank, for they are used
for currency and are not for the fund
ed debt of the United States, as are
the bonds. That being the case, it
is not probable many rich men go
"scot free from taxes, and the farm.
er and mechanic bear the burden. -
We believe that the laws of the
United States are, in all cases, as
nearly impartial rs it is possible for
them to be-they were made for the
laboring classes as well as for the
rich.
The balance of the article is too
ridiculous to notice. The writer un.
doubtedly grinncd when he penncd
it.
This cry about unequal taxation is
the main issue upon which the Cop
pelheads are fighting this campaign,
and more wiclledly false one could
not be imagined.

THE MANAGEMENT OF BEES.

Procure a straw hive about sixteen inches
in diameter, in the centre Of which make a
hold to the extent of two inches; take off the
edge of the inner eide, to allow more room
for the bees to ascend put in O bung moder-
ately tight, and il will then be ready for use
Have ready smaller hive to fit on the top,
without any aperture to allow the bees to go
In or out. Let swarm be procured in the
regular way, which must remain for the first
season with the bung 10, and with a covering
TO protect it from the weather, standing on q
pedestal, but not too near WE'LL Should
the swarm be a very early one, symptoms,
such as a bee keeper is acquainted with, will
appear then dress the hive, and Withdraw
the covering to the tWo-inch hole. But this
will most likely not require TO be done till
the following year. When the top hive has
been on-say from the 18th of May or the lst
of June, according to the season, to about the
first week in August-in order to procure the
honey made in the two previous months, take
q thin wire, place it between the hives, and
separate the fastening which the bees have
made. Draw the top hive upon a clean board
or sheet of tin, aud carry it two yards off;
have ready large garden pot to stand the
hive 10; and should the operator have sufi-
cient nerve, he may strike nearly all the bees
out into large dish, and replace the hive
in the pot, and in twenty minutes all will have
left A strong stock is always the cheapest
to maintain, and less liable 10 intrusion from
other bees or wasps When bees are torpid,
cut off the top of the hive, and introduce
one-inch deal board, with hole ready pre-
pared and unite it with the hive by long brads
The owner will perceive that he has still his
bees sufficiently provided for during the win
ter, and himself amply repaid for the trouble
he has been put to. There will be no anxiety
in saving or looking after swarm, no going
of again, no loss of time, and not go nomsr-

will be so much stronger than an ordinary

WOODEN BUILDINGS

Ono Of the laws Of our city prevents
the ca ection Of Wooden Buildings be-
Low Froomason street. This was, at the
time of its passage no doubt, avery good
law, for at that time building materials
were abundant and cheap, and houses
and stores We're not so much in demand.
Now whether this law is desirable under
the present circumstances, is question
which our city fathers ought 10 look into
There is vast influx Of population,
making the dwellings of the City crowds
ed to.repletion numbers of persons anx-
lous to open up new places of business
are prevented therefrom for the want of
business stands; numbers willing to erect
cheap, temporary structures, for the &C.
commodation of business other numbers
4ltoot Mechanics out of employment and
anxious for the job of erecting such
structure, the trade of the City absolute-
liy suffering for room to extend, and the
CITY exchequer almost empty. We say
this we think, is question for their con.
ssideration Whether the operation of
this law might not be suspended for
period sufficiently long to enable our peo
pie to be aecomn odated with business
stands, on such lots as may become at, and
until building material can be reduced
somewhat in prices. Surely, neatly erect
ed wooden buildings on the various va
can't lots down town, would look better
and more enterprising than grass plats
right In the heart of the City.
What say you, gentlemen of the
Councils, must the eterual5b rick and
morter hold sway, and keep down EN-.
ployment, trade and enterprise, simply
because the law says SO, when you have
tn the power to come up to the help of the
people in this extremity.
