Finances.-New and Important Res
possibilities.

1t is evident to all thoughtful persons that our
financial, well as political condition, is much
changed. We have large debt, suddenly crea.
ted by the war. which must be paid, and its inter
est promptly met. Our national expenses, for
years to come, are inevitably increased 1t is well
for all loyal men to look at matters calmly and
candidly, and aid such action may be needed for
these new emergencies We must crown and Sc
cure our triumph over Rebellion by such wise care
for finances shall provide means for keeping
high the standard of honor, and, a means of so
doing, help the prosperity and healthful growth
of the peoples skill and industry in agriculture.
manufactures and commerce.
During the fiscal year just closed, the income
from home, revenue taxes, was 5000 900,
600, and from tariffs S16,000,000. Both these
sources of income are indispensable. A "Com-
mission on the Revenue Laws" chosen BY Con-
cress, and acting in connection with the Treasury
Department, is now in session in New York at the
Custom House. and will visit the West before
their labors close. Their duty is to examine the
whole field, and see how each interest is fairly or
otherwise dealt by, at present., in the adjustment
and comparative amount of tax and tariff; and they
invite facts from all interested to give lightin their
work. D. A. Wells, OF Troy, n. Y. S. Colwell,
of Philadelphia, and 5. s. Hays, of Chicago. make
up this important Commission, whose report will
be largely the basis, probably, of Congressional
action Eext winter.

port too much.
II is thought by those best informed that some
800. .000, 900 of our National Bonds are in Europe
and from $500. 900. 900 to 5000, 0,000 900 of State
and Railroad securities--in all over 5000 00J 900
The interest of whichever $50, ,000,0 ,000-is to be
paid in specie or its equivalent. This is a sum Sc
great that its increase should be guarded again st
or financial trouble will come. Doubtless in the
new and sudden emergencies, our Last Congress
made some mistakes in these matters. With the
aid of the Report of this Commission and the wise
counses Of loyal men they can rectify these mis-
takes, adjust and tariffs wisely, guard agains
difficulty, and provide for the success of free
Government. We do not write thus wanting

Humbuggery.

A cotemporary that advocates a reputation of
the national obligation not to tax national bonds,
suffer them to be taxed by local authorities, thus
demoshes all arguments in favor of maintaining z
the good faith of the nation:
"Suppose two mechanics to earn each exactly
$500 year, and to live upon $500. The one
puts his surplus s4O0 Of property into U. S. bond,
and the other puts his surplus $500 into a house
and lot or some little industrial business. The
formers savings, drawing him fat interest, are
under the legislation of radical Congress, ex-
empted from all State and local taxes while those
of the latter may be ground down, and down, and
the quick of the principal reached to satisfy the
public Indebtedness in its various shapes, part
of the taxation levied going to pay the interest up.
on his brother mocha MICS Government invest
ment.'
Now, if all this be true, it simply shows that the
mechanic who takes the advice of Democratic
demagogues, and refuses to invest his surplus
money in government bonds, is not quite as sharp
as the one who follows the promptings OF patriot
ism, and loans the government his surplus. The
men both have the same opportunity to invest IN
government bonds; but the one, from reading
Democratic newspapers. believes the government
will repudiate its debts and therefore invests his
$500 in house and lot, that don't pay like the
investment in bonds. If all this affords any reason
why the government should repudiate. its obliga
tions, we must cenfess 1--WE can't see it." If il
proves anything, it proves that every man who ha.
got good and four hundred dollars OF surplus
change, will invest the latter in government bonds
that's all. The government has given to every
poor mechanic or labnring man OF any kind. an
opportunity to invest his little surplus where it viii
pay a good interest, be free from taxation, and
where it would forever be safe, it not for ths
dishonesty of Democratic politicians; and this il
called hard thing poor men. Every man who
has capital, has the privilege of investing it IL
government bonds and rsaping all the advantages
to be derived from such investment; and if he doe
not choose TO do so, he ought not to try to inur'
the one who does. To the man who has no capi
tai, il matters not who is taxed and who is not
He is certain not to be taxed that has nothing t.

Murder in Blackford County.

One of the Copperhead gang that murdered
man named Whitaker, in Blackford county, some
ten months since, makes the following confession:
These men were organized. armed and equipped
for the purpose of numbering home guards, rescu-
ing captured deserters, and protecting deserters
generally The locality where the murder was
committed was a notorious secesh hole, and con
tains cranberry marsh well adapted for secreting
deserters, to hide away in the mud and mire the
corpse of murdered person.
A company of home guards from Montpelier had
gone to the marsh after some deserters, accom-
Llished their object and the secesh gang went out
for tie purpose of intercepting and numbering
them. The plan OF the latter party was, first to
shoot the farmers horses, which they supposed
would cause sufficient confusion to enable the de-
sertcr. to so far separate from their cap.ors as to
admit of them shooting the latter without doing
any harm to the former. But the party had passed
by before the miscreants arrived, and so escaped
collision,
Whitaker came up, and one of the villains ad-
vanced and extended bis hand, and in friendly
way inquired where he was going. Whitaker told
him, and also the nature of his business, and soon
passed on. They held hasty consultation, con-
cluded he had diss embed, and was acting the spy
and was therefore proper subject for them. One
OF the gang, a man named Foreman, advanced and
shot him in the back. as he was travelling on. the
ball passing through his body. They carried him
short distance. and concealed him where they
designed leaving the corpse until night, when they
would make further disposition of it. The wit
ness did not 20 at night, and did not know where
the corpse was finally deposited.

What We Want.

General Morgan, in accepting the nomination
Of the Ohio Convention, day before yesterday, for
Governor, said: 81 have spoken OF the gallant men
who went forth to sacrifice life and limb in de-
fense of the Constitution and the Union, but not of
the nicger; and while they were thus battling in
the field there another army at home. of ci
william patriots, devoted to the old flag, battling for
constitutional, liberty. What we want il, for these
two armies to unite, join hands aud hearts, and
bear down on the mongrel hCrde."
If wishes were horses beggars would ride
General Morgan wants the two armies to unite;
that il. the glorious, battle SCARED host, just
proudly returning from the field, is to u.ite with
the peace sneaks, Vallandchamers, Coppcrheads,
Sons of Liberty and knights OF the Golden Circle,
who staid at home as "ciriiian patriots"
The soldiers and "civilian patriots are to rush
on and bear down the "nongrcl horde" of Union
men.
We fear the General will not get what he wants.
The uniting of two such elements, as the war men
and the civilian patriots of Ohio would produce a
more sudden and violent explosion than took place
in the Iowa Convention. Thc General ought to
knew better than try to mix such combu=tible and
. Xpiosvc materials.
There was an army at home battling for consti-
tutiona liberty. but it was the "mongrel horde"
who stood up for the Government; raised troops
fitted them out and sent them to the field, who
furnished sanitary stores, who encouraged the
Il
cheerfuly, furnished loans and did everything fol
the success of our arms.
While this was being done, the Generals "ci-
william PATRIOTS were meeting in secret conclaves
conspring against US, buying arms Tor rebels, fur
nishing them news. telling them to fight on, that
the "mongrel horde would soon be exhausted
At Chicago, these civilian patriots pronounced the
war a failure, the nation bankrupt, and the tr
umphs of our arms bloody and needless butcher
les.
Soldiers, arc YOU ready to unite with this splen

mocracy want you to do so, and why should no

A Traitor Silenced.

Herschel v. Johnson was recently talking very
blatant treason in the presence OF sundry gentle
men. One Of them finally interrupted him, and
to Id him he could not talk SO in Washington. Mr..
Johnson said he had been pardoned by the Presi-
dent, and he knew no power which could prevent
him from expressing his sentiments. Tire gentle
man replied that he did know Of power which
could prevent him, namely: the presence and
strength of loyal man who would not tolerate the
u,terance of treason in his presence. Shortly af-
terwards Mr. johnson privately inquired the name
of the person who had so abruptly silenced him,
and was told that it was Major General John w.
Geary.
