Republicans Warned from n re-

The baltimore Commercial, Republican
Journal, sends forth this warning to its
party, outside and inside of Congress:
Let the accredited leaders of the Rrpub-

matters are being managed--that they are
frittering away in trifles and In projects

the fact that the disappointment has been

Il. y. Cleveland has been appointed and
confirmed as Postmaster at Hartford, Conn.
for second term of four years. lie has
been an dctipe supporter Of President JouN-
son, and has SO commended himself to the
confidence of the Executive.
This incident naturally suggests the
querc, all around and about, generally. spc-
ehlly and locally, whether Clcvcland's ease
is not to be- taken as mild hint by othe,

PosTsCRIPr.-The Cleveland Plain Dealer,
of Tuesday, affords another equally com
Portable item TO such office holders as have
not yet settled IN their own breasts, OF
heads, or pockets, or wherever else their
sensibilltics are now lying. II says:
We notice the appointment of Colonel
VIM. Il. Small "a Collector In the Second
Congressional District of Iowa. Colonel
Small is a conservative Republican, and u
firm supporter Of President johnson. IL Is
worthy of note that President johnson
made this appointment in defiance of the
wishes of Hiram Price. radical member of
Congress from the same district.
This is not all The President has re-
moved both the Collector and Assessor of
Internal Revenue in the Covington (ky)
District, and appointed gentlemen who are
in accord with the policy of the President.
The Postmaster at Covington, Mr.. CuNiMINs,
has been removed, and JEssR Il. GRANT, the
fjlhter of the Lieutenant General, appointed
in his stead. The Cincinnati Commercial
says, commenting on these changes, "it is
pretty certain that tho officers that have
been removed, were not known to be out
spoken advocates of the Presidents policy
of restoration, while those who have been
appointed are known as such. More than
this, we learn that inquiries, supposed to be
semi-oillcial in their character, have been
made as to the expressions on topics of the
day by Federal oiilce-holders in other quar-
tcrs.
lStW Morel The President has been
making inquiries as to the expressions on
the topics of the day by Federal office
holders" in Cincinnati, and, undoubtedly
they have been instituted in other places.
The rapid change of base made by some
holding official positions has caused con-
siderable comment. We hope theaPrcsi-
dent will hold the rod over these gentle
men, and keep them in accord"
Aud mOrei The Cincinnati Commercial
says:
a gentleman in official position and just
from Washington, and from one of those
interviews with the President, the general
character of which has become familiar to
the public through frequent publication, is
well persuaded that there will speedily be II

Fifteen Millions of Dollars Wrung
from The People of Ohio In Inter
nal Revenue.
The official table of the Internal Revenue
returns shows that upward of $4,000, 900
were wrung from the taxpayers of Ohio
by that branch of the General Government
last year. There are about 100000 voters
in the State, so that every voter has paid
on the average, $50 rs his share. Before
the war the subject of paying the State
debt, which was about Sl5,000000, was one
of earnest solicitudc and attention Had
any one proposed to pay it by taxes in a
single year. the proposition would have
been considered n crazy one, only worthy
of bedlam. But the Republican taX-gath-
erers put their hands in the peoples pock-
cts and distracted last year, not only $l5.-
0O0,000 for Internal Revenue, but their
other taxes from customs and for State and
local purpose, will bring the amount up to
fully hirty-foW millions Of dollars, rem
dcring us one of the most oppressively-
taxed communities upon the face of the
globe.
ThHking-time will be apt to take the lead
of tdr-time this year OF our Lord, and not II
few, who worked and voted to have this
great mountain of tax piled up on their
shoulders, will be made to think that they
have paid dearly for the Black Republican

Think! Think!

Said the New York Day Book, the other
day, speaking of how the country stood he
fore the war;
A portion of the wealth of the country
was in the labor system of the South. The
great war debt necessitates greater produc-
tions per year than ever, but our resources
are less. The muscle of four millions OF
wealth producers is lost to us. They have,
As n body, stopped production, and continue
TO consume and destroy. The surplus OF
SlS5,0N,ON per year, southern exports, will
dwindlc down to one quarter of that sum.
The creation of wealth will diminish, while
the necessity for increased resources presses
upon the country, under increased ex-
penscs. The negro labor system of the
South was the basis of our national pro-
gress. Through that system the North has
grown rich. Southern wealth gave north
ern profits. Southern poverty, which is
inevitable, which Is in fact Il reality to-day,
will produce northern commercial decay.
Restore the South, and the North prospers.
Ruin the South, and the fate of the North
is sealed. White labor can not replace black
labor in that section, and free black labor is
a failure all over the globe. What, then,
have we to hope for, and how far of is the
brink of the nrcciDiceY
