The DIFFERENCE.

The Philadelphia dge very pertinently re-
marks that "plain people fail to perceive why
persons of rebel antecedents are eligible to
Office in the Southern States, when appointed
by the President, and ineligible when elected
by the people, under the laws of their own
State and of the United States" 1t is well
known, it says, that Holden, aud Perry, and
Parsons, all held Offices or appointments in
the Conlederacy yet they are appointed, and
are now Governors of three of the Southern
States.

The Liars Again at 1t.

The Nev York Neps of late date con-
tains the following, together with a good
deal more of the same sort, understood to
haze been furnished by BEN. WooD:
'sThere is a story afloat about sharp
game played by Mr.. Cox, whereby one
Democrat was induced to go over to the alb
clifton side. A short time before the vote
was taken on the amendment, Mr.. Cox took
Mr.. English, of Connecticut, into the cloak
room of the House, and told him that IL he
.{English) would vote for the amendment he
(Cox) would do likewise. He then read to
Mr.. English short speech that he said he
intended dmaking,explanatory of his reasons
for voting In the a6irmattre, and assured that
gentleman that he would vote with the Re-
publicans If he (English) would do the
same.n
We are authorized to pronounce this
whole "story" a lie. AGATE, of The Cincia-
natl Gazette, adopts, revamps, and enlarges
it; and gives Mr.. ENGLISH as authority.
We have the authority of Mr.. Cox himself
for saying that there is not particle Of
truthin the "story from beginning to end
1t is hard to understand why he is thus pur-
sued with malignity and falsehood to the
very close of his long and useful service in
Congress. i.t

Didn't want Peace.

The "Freedom Club of Worcester, Mass,
during the pendency Of Peace Negotiations,
thus put themselves on the record against
Peace:
"Resolced, That while we rejoice in the
passage by Congress of the Constitutional
amendment prohibiting slavery, we are
compelled by our love Of country and our
convictions of what is demanded by the gen.
eral good, to criticize the indecent haste OF
the authorities at Washington, to meet the
so-called commissioners Of peace from the
proud leaders of rebellion still Haunting
defiance to the United States. And as the
Freedom Club of Worcester, we believe we
speak sentiment common to loyal Ameri-
cans, when we declare it inconsistent with
the dignity or safety of the Republic to be
billing and cooling, by way Of diplomacy,
uith rebels yet In arms"
There isno room for doubt, that the reason
why the Constitutional amendment was
hurried through Congress when the Rebel
Peace Commissioners were on their way to
Fortress Monroe, was to defeat the restora-
tion Of Peace at this time.

Gross Inequality Of Taxation.

We are rapidly tending to monied aris-
tocracy. Even in England, where the no.
bility and other men of wealth control leg
islation, the holders of securities of the
Government have to bear their just pro-
portion of the taxes. But by the legisla-
.tion Of Congress, our wealthy men, and our
banks and other monied corporations, who
vest their capital or moneys in United
States stocks, payable in gold, giving them
per cent. premium, are exempt from all 10
cal taxation upon such Investments.
Our farmers, mechanics, and other indus
trial classes, therefore, have to sustain near
ly the whole burthen of State, county, town,
city and village taxation, including high
way taxes, and taxes for the support of our
common schools. And the United States
Government, by ordering drafts from the
citizens, to increase the army, instead of
offering such bounties as will insure vOlun-
teers, compels the States, counties and 9TH
er localities to offer such bounties and to
provide for their payment by local taxation.
The result of this is to throw nearly the
whole expense of recruiting for thearmy, as
well as theexpense of the State, county and
other localities, upon the industrial classes,
for the special benefit of the monied aris-
tocracy who have investedthe property In
United States stocks, payable in gold. The
contractors, those special fayorites of the
United States Government, who have made
their millions by speculations upon the mis-
fortunes Of their country, and have invested
their enormous profits in United States
stocks, are also exempted from all local tax
alton. No one should hereafter be elected
to congress, or to the State Legislature, who
will not pledge himself to oppose and pre-
vent such unequal taxation whenever he
has the opportunity to do so. And MEM
bers of Congress, who have already been
elected, should be instructed by their con-
stituents, and Senators should be instructed
by the State Legislatures, to repeal all laws
which have tendency to exempt the prop
erty of the men of wealth from local taxa
tion, so as to relieve the industrial classes
and the citizens of small means from the
enormous weight of local taxation which is
now so unjustly throwa upon theni.-

Arc the Rfchn.ond Meetings In
80 sruulficamt?

The radical portion Of the Administra-
tion press is disposed to treat lightly the
immense meetings that have been held in
Richmond since the return of Messrs. STE
rHENs, HUNTER and CAMPBELL, and the
ayowed determination OF the speakers to
prosecute the war with renewed vigor.-
They affect to believe that these demon
strations will amount to nothing-that the
erebellionis now, speaking in the compare
tive degree, harmless-that 1t is not possible
for It to give much further tronble- Agree
ably shall we be disappointed If in the fu-
ture verifcation viii be given to this view
of the matter. Undoubtedly, the rebels are
seemingly In a condition not so formidable
as they were one year ago; but they are
nevertheless in condition sufficiently pow
erful to occasion us great deal of trouble
to render the sacrifice of an immense
number of lives and the expenditure of q
vast amount of money necessary before the
work of their subjugation shall have been
completed. 1t will be well to glance rap
idly over the history of the past four years,
and see how many of our apparently we'll
founded opinions have been proven the re-
verse of correct by events as they have
transpired. Up to April, 1861, it was
the opinion of many men who claim
for themselves an ability to pene-
trate into the future little farther than
many of their neighbers, that the people OF
the South could not be "kicked into re-
bellion;" this delusion having been dissi-
pated, they were sure that the $4,000 volun-
tsers called for in April, 1861, would COM
pletely crush the rebellion-so confident of
it were they, that volunteers thought they
had better go forth armed with hickory
brooms than with muskets. 1t did not take
very long to dispel this delusion. Accord
ing to the class of far-seeing men, to whom
we are now referring, "the backbone" of
the rebellion was broken at Romney, at
Donaldson, at Pittsburg Landing, at Vlcks-
burg, and some dozen other places. Even
Governor BRoUGH, last year, when he calleu
out the hundred day men, advertised the
whole country, through speeches and by
proclamation, that within one hundred days
from that time the job Of completely dis
posing Of the rebellion, would be finished.
Isit the dictate of wisdom, then, to adopt
the opinion that the rebellion is now power
less, and that we may enforce any notions
we may see proper-that at this stage. it
would be unbecoming the Federal Govern
ment to be in the least magnanimous? We
vary much fear that II this opinionis acted
on, we shall suffer grievously for it.

eric south Carolina Corner

There are about twenty Democratic MEM
bers of the present Ohio Legislature. These
gentlemen all have seats In the southeast
corner of the chamber of the House of Rep
resentatives. This corner is called by the
Abolition members the "South Carolina
Cornerr In return for this compliment
the South Carolina Corner style the Abb
clifton corners the {" African Side." Aside
from Mr.. Delano and Mr.. Odlin, the Afri-
can side of the House has but few members
OF any abil ty, though their takers, Scott,
of Warren, Osborn, of Lake, and one or two
others, occupy the floor most of the time.
The South Carolina Corner" has but little
responsibility for the legislation, for the
surest way to kill any measure is to have II
find favor with the Democratic members,
no matter what it relates to, be it OF local
or general interest. The .South Carolina
Corner" In debate can always hold It's
own, while for fun and humor that corner
is celebrated. d.-Seneca Advertiser.
