leather was tanned at Covington. Ken

came on to conduct the business, but in
about two years he died of consumption.
He was well liked and was an excellent
business man. . ' @a. AZ
Meanwhile, Ulysuss Grant. having
graduated at West Point, went into the
Mexican war where he distinguished
himself in every battle except one,
when he was not present, that was
fought; thence he went to Oregon, and
acted as Captain in the Quartermaster's 5
Department. Eleven years since he re-
signed his commission and went to st.
Louis, where he had some interest in q
piece of land, and was told he engaged
in hauling wood to market, himself
driving his own oxen.

Capt. Grant as he was called, found
the affairs of the concern in great dis
order, but he went to work, and in
three weeks had everything straight
There was one clerk beside himself, and
generally more or less hired men. As
this was the only establishment of the

salesman, but he was good to oversee
and to manage. Generally he bought

store in country wagons. He took then
in himself. That he might not dirty hi:
clothes, he had short leather apron
which he always wore. Those not ac

intention on the part of his father was

$3.50 a year. To do this, and to live il
society, is impossible. Everything mus
be cheap and plain. Sometimes his wifi
had hired girl, but usually she did he

isfy some of its readers 1t makes new
suggestion. 1t says:
" Congress cannot, of course, repeal
the law exempting the bonds from
municipal taxation. That body Is con-
stitutionally competent TO pass such
law, and the government is as much
bound by its bad bargains as by its good
ones. But the bonds are not by law eX-
empted from federal taxation, aud
rough equalization is perhaps attainable
by this method" ..s DID,,
1t proposes therefore that Congress
levy an annual tax of two per cent, on
these bonds and withhold that amount
when paying the interest. In other
words, the government agreed when it
sold these bond, to pay six, or seven and
three tenths per cent. interest on them.
The World now proposes that govern
ment repudiate two per cent. of this,
by calling it a tax. Such a proposition
hardly deserves argument. Government
does and should tax the income derived
from these bonds at tie same rate, be it
higher or lower, as income derived from
other sources. Can it consistently or
honestly do otherwise?
This by the way. What we particu-
larly desired to call attention to, is the
fact that the leading democratic organ
in the country, and by far the ablest
paper of that party, admits-lst. that
Congress had the constitutional power
to exempt the bonds in question from
State and municipal taxation, and that
States consequently cannot tax them or
the income from them in violation of
that exemption; I'd, that Congress can
not now repeal the exemption.
Our intended extracts from the demo-
cratic Sentinel, which are still more de-
cided and emphatic against the Courier,
we are obliged to defer until to-mor-
row. ..,
