THE AUTHOR SAYS - ....

duty self.imposed. "
al shall have to follow II through cheekered ex.
perience, in tale commngled of great misfortunes
great folies and great gores but from first to last

The Republican is not satisfied with tho
exhibit published By the Auditor showing
the receipts and expenditures Of the coun-
ty; it says: The amount expended on
the county Asylum, and the expenses Of
the poor are enormous and then asserts
that it is the duty Of the DeDocrat a. the
organ of the party in power, to
explain these enormous expenditures =

The Tariff Eli.

The puTltanical tariff bill now perding
in Congress II seems, is distastefui to the
radicals OF the west The Chicago 1ri-
buae even has the courage to give the thing
a kick. and calls ii great fraud aud IN
imposture, BY which it is attempted still
further tn bring the agricultural districts
of the Great West under the lash Of New
England Manufacturers. There IS Some
comfort in knowing that the people with
ont regard to party are speaking out on
thls subject; The time is not far distant
when they viii demand equal rights, and
when the c0rruptionists who manipulate
Congress will be compelled to do some-
thing like justice TO the rural districts in
The distribution Of the burdens Of the gov
ernment. There is no good reason WHY
the west AMI other producing regions
should pay tribute to the manufacturing
establishments ofNew England There is
no good reason why the laboring man and
small capitalists should DC taxed to the
very verge Of endurance to pay the inter-
est on bonds held by aristocrats who pay
no taxes on the capital invested in these
same bonds The people are becoming
tired of this puritanica) drain Of money
from their pockets to the pockets of the
favored few who happen TO hold govern
'lent bonds. Not one in five, pcrhap. not
one in ten, Of the citizens Of the United
States hold single dollar OF bonds, and
the question OF taxation or reputation.
and the question OF the tariff will ere long
be befo:c the pec9 9 fer settlement at the
polls. When Il time comes, as come
it will, the people viii be ready to meet it
with unfinching Grmness, and unless the
party IN power shall be willing to do justice.
the people viii assert their rights in a wav
that will drive the leeches and bo0dsuck
ers from place and power, never more to
return. Let those who have what they
call good thing" now, beware how they
insist on gratifying still further their un
holy thirst for gain By heaping additional
burdens upon the people.

himself last evening, infiictinS wound
which resulted fatally at 9 o'clock to>day

out Of the wagon, which stopped ut TIE gate
the government farm, at the residence Of
Mr. McCa!l. and stepping to the rear,
drew pistol and shot himself in the
mouth. the ball passing out through the

the result of temporary mental derange-
ment. This is the third member of the
family who destroyed himself The oc>

The Frcedmen'S Bureau.

JACKSON, Mss, June 26.-Generals
Steadman's and FulIerton's Investigations
in Mississippi disclose abundant evidence
of dishonesty in the management on the
part of bureau agents, most ofwhom, how
ever. have been recently removed.
Under Colonel Thomas administration
great irregularities prevailed at Columbus
According to the statements Of citizens
fees were taken for the approval of con-
tracts and for procuring labor. Brides
were received, and the two first agents ap>
pointed returned enriched. At Grenada,
Chaplain Livermore, reverend Bureau
agent there, displayed remarkable specu-
latiye propesities. He charged fees rang
ing from quarter of dollar upward for
every conceivable thing-fees for marry
ing freedmen and fees for permits to mar,
ry. No fish was too small that came into
his net. One darkey owed him 4 dollar
and half, and had only dollar to meet
the claim. Liyermore took his wallet and
jack knife for the balance. He sold pork,
potatoes and captured mules to citizens.
He made arrests and convicted and acqUit-
ted according to the peculiarly argument
employed. When his real practices were
exposed he offered fifty dollars to any one
who would use sufficient influence to keep
him in bis position. This man declares
