Mr.. DORSEY! 1t is over week since we
the second time called your attention to a
rumor that was gaining currency of your
having made out of the funds of the State
considerable sum Of money over and
above your salary, and we the second time
offered you the use of our columns to put
thatrumor out of existence. This you have
not done. You have remained perfectly
silent. Don't you know that the people
will construe this silence SO far to your dis
advantage as to believe the rumor truep
Our solicitude for your fair name borders
on the painful, and hence we desire that you
should clear this matter up. We do hope
that you will drop the task Of proving the
Black man the equal of the White man suffi-
ciently long to put this damaging rumor
completely out of the way. sg9e Hl,g go

TaxabiIity of Gdvernlnent Esonds.


The World of Saturday publishes a
lengthy opinion from the Hon. George T..
Curtiss (recognized as one of the most pro-
found constitutional lawyers In the coun-
try), prepared year and half ago, in re-
gard to the taXability of Government bonds.
MIR. Curtiss concludes, as the result of a
careful examination of the subject, that the
National Banks are not, as corporations,
taxable by State authority, and also con-
cedes that stocks of the United States are
not subject to taxation by the States. But
he shows by lucid and cogent reasoning,
= that although the corporations are not tax
able by the States, the property of citizens
in their shares Is subject to the same liabil-
tiles as the general mass of personal prop
erty; and also that the income of dividends
from such shares can be taxed by the States
in which they are owned. Shares in the
stock of a National Bank are the property
of the holder, subject, like other property,
to regulation by State laws. This property
creates no relation between the holder and
the General Government which 6 tax would
impair. The corporation is an agent of the
I Government in its fiscal operation; the Fed
eral stocks it buys are evidences Of a con-
tract to which the Government is party;
but the shareholders are neither agents of
the Government nor parties to contract
with it, and do not, therefore, come within
Incorporation of the principles on which
exemptions from State taxatiens are made
to rest. We do not repeat Mr.. Curtiss'
reasoning, but only state the conclusions to
which it leads him.
Comptroller Robinson, of this State, and
the officer exercising similar functions in
the State of Illinois, have directed the As
SCISSORS of these States to make returns for
the shares of Banking institutions, and the
legality of the tax on them is in train to
reach authoritative decision.-AIbany Ar

what They say in the South.

We have been accused, by some friends,
ofentertaining optimistic and too sanguine
views of the progress of good feeling in
the Southern States. We have, however,
examined with care our Southern files, and
have from time to time printed numerous
extracts from the leading journals of that
part of the country. In making our selec-
| tions we have preferred to extract from
those papers which are plainly In the hands
of Southern men, and speak the sentiments
ofat least part of the community In which
they are published. e1iI,td
We have before us now number Of such
papers, and their perusal does not lessen
our belief that the Southern people will
prove themselves, and indeed are proving
themselves, TO possess common sense. They
are not vet tout of the wo0ds,' to use q
common phrase; they are still, to certain
extent, amenable to- the control of their
former leaders; we shall not wonder II here
and there foolish thing is done; and it is
very certain that their prejudices against
the unfortunate blacks will stand in the
way and delay the arrival Of the prosperi-
ty which certainly awaits the. Southern
States under the stimulus Of free labor.
But all these ~hindrances are but tempor-
ary; time will work wonders in the South,
as elsewhere-or rather, more than .else-
where. The men who now 5Nel bitter and
sore will feel very much moi eheerfdl
when they get a little money in; ;theif pock-
cts; the world will look brighter to them
when they get crop In; as the machinery
of civilized Life rearraDges ITSELF and the
various parts, now scattered, once more
adapt themselves to healthful motion, a
great change will come over the spirit OF
the leaders, as well as the people. Men will
begin to see, down there, that what hashap-
pened, In Gods Providence, is for their
good; and that, ifthey are truly and honest
ly desirous for the welfare and prosperity
time, open to them to make those States
what they were intended by Nature to be,
the wealthiest, the most populous, and the
most influential of this Continent.-N. Y.

slaves should be secured in their freedom,
in their right to acquire property, the
rightto testify in courts, and that all must
be made stand equal before the law. This
policy, he thinks, will save them from Ne
gro Suffrage, which dogma they must re-
sist, for the Negro, though free, must be an
inferior in the privileges of citizenship

United States is a White mans government;
aud while, under the benignity of its
laws, industry and person and property
will be protected, they cannot consent to
lower the standard of our civilization

Death Of Ex-GoverhOr William
NHediIl. H.f

The painful intelligence has reached u'
that ex- Governor WILLIAM MEDILL died on
Saturday afternoon, at about o'clock, Sep
tember I'd, at his residence in Lancaster
O. One year ago in August he was afiiict-
ed with paralysis of the extremities, from
the effects of which he was long confined
to his chamber. Latterly, he had so far re-
covered as to be able to go about some, and
his health otherwise appeared tOlerably
good. Mr.. MEDILL was born In the State
of New Jersey, and came to this State
about 1920 or 1880, and settled In Lancas-
ter, which place he has ever since made his
residence. He had not lived long in Fair
field until he was elected to the Ohio Leg
islature, where he soon gained eminence as
one of the Democratic leaders. We be-
lieve that he was chosen Speaker of that
body at one session. He was elected to
Congress several times, and in that body
he established reputation for ability and
fidelity to the interests OF his constituents.
Under the Administration of President
Polk, Mr.. MEDILL was Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs, the duties of which posi-
ton he discharged with great acceptable
ity. When Delegates were elected to
the Constitutional Convention by which
the present Constitution of Ohio, was
framed, Mr.. MEDILL was elected as one Of
the Delegates from Fairfield county. OF
the Constitutional Convention he was
chosen the presiding officer, and he receive
ed the award of the members thereof as a
presiding officer Of rare excellence. AT
the first election under the present Consti-
tuition be was elected Lieutenant Governor
by the Democratic party, and succeeded to
the Governorship by reason of Governor
WooD having resigned the Governorship
and accepted the Consulship to Valparaiso.
In October, 1858, Mr.. MEDILL was elected
Governor, and served out the term of his
office. Under President BUCHANAN he held
the position of Comptroller of the Treasz
ury. '1- ft" J
The duties Of every trust reposed in Mr..
MEDILL were discharged with ability and
strict fidelity. In his public and private
relations, he was a man of great purity of
character. In his politics, he was Demo-
crat true and untaltering. We have no
means at hand by which we can state his
age accurately; but at the time of his death
he must have been over sixty years of age.

Three Subjects Engage their AT
teuIion.


Three subjects at this time engage the
attention of the men who are advocating
the election of General Cox. First, the dis
position of the Southern people in such
way as they shall never have any political
influence; second, the Bondholders; third,
the Negroes. Taxpayers, and White peo-
pie generally, are not taken into accounta as
having any interests that are entitled to
consideration. The Southern people, they
contend, should not be allowed to vote or
to have any representation in Congress.
The Bondholders, they declare, it would be
unconstitutional to tax, in any way, shape
or foim, and it is, Furthermore, insisted,
that their carriages, pianos, silver plate, and
such property, should Immediately be re-
leased from direct taxation; aud the Ne
groes, they urge, should be given all the
political rights enjoyed by White men, for
the reason, they assert, that the Negroes are
the equal of the White men-made so by
the Great Father of all. These are simple
questions and few in number. There is no
reason why they should not be fully under

General Morgan.

Gen. Morgan, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Ohio, is the person who
made the memorable retreat from Cumber-
land Gap in the early part OF the war-a
retreat with ten thousand men which will
rank in history with the retreat of "Xeno-
phon and his Immortal Ten Thousand"
To retreat we'll requires not less soldierly
skill than to advance well, or fight well;
but General Morgan combined all these
qualities. He advanced to the heart of the
enemy's country and seized Cumberland
Gap, which was one of their most impor-
tant posts, trusting that Gen Buell. would
take care of his rear. But when in the Gap
he found himself surrounded by four times
his number of rebels, and no prospect of
obtaining supplies except by seizing them
from the enemy. In that way he obtained
food and forage; he attacked the rebels, beat
them here and there, and took what he
needed. But it was impossible to hold the
position against such odds; and to retreat
or surrender was all that was left him. To
surrender was not thought of by one who
commenced military lifeat fifteen, and had
been trained first by Sam Houston in Texas
to the half Indian modes of fighting, and
afteFward by Gen. Scott in Mexico, in the
highest science'of war; and 80 the retreat
was commenced. Every man and every
gun was withdrawn. Then came the tug
of war-this handful of men retreating and
fighting, surrounded and followed by 45,-
600 men for sixteen days and nights, oyer
250 miles of mountainous region, through
defiles and gorges, everywhere exposed to
ambuscades and assaults in mountain pass
es, subsisting upon corn alone, and still re-
pulsing and beating the lurking rebels i'm
every attack. We have many bright pages
in the history Of the late war-pages to
which our children win turn with pride
and the world will read with wonder; hut
we doubt whether there was more bril-
liant achievement from the fall of Sumter
to the fall of Richmond, than the retreat of
Morgan and his ten thousand from Cumber-
land Gap.-N etobuyport Herald.

thereof should be Immediately exempted

that the Negro is his equal, nd.hence en-

that all that has been done in the way Of
