The La Crosse Democrat-Brick
Pomeroy's Reply to the Gin
cinnati Commercia1-The As
sassinatiOn of Lincoln.


We did thank God for calling Lincoln
home. If Lincoln is in Heaven, as Aboli-
tionists say, he is better off than he was in
Washington, beset by thieves, Abolitionists
army contractors, ofice-seekers and gaping
listeners to his smutty jokes. As friend of
Lincoln we thanked God for calling so great
and good a man home before he should be-
come disguised with the Annas, the James,
the Thaddeuses, the Benjamins, the Freds,
the Charleses, and others Of the God and
Morality party.
We thanked God for calling Lincoln into
the presence and company of Democrats, as
he is if in Heaven. The poor President
suffered enough from being with Abolition
lists on earth, and we thanked God for call
ing him beyond their reach or influence here
or hereafter.
Whatever is, is right. God, who rules us
ALL wanted Lincoln removed-He made
Booth His agent; no one but God is to
| blame for Lincoln death. God is never to
blame; we, who are Christians, should
thank Him for everything we do so thank
Him he who does not thank God, is no
Christian; those who assal us are no Chris
tians
We believe the country is better off now
than when Lincoln was alive.
We believe more in craftsmanship thanin
niger songs, or in humorous yarns in time
Of war.
We believe Lincoln was mere man of
putty in the hands Of traitors and thieves,
known latterly as Abolitionists.
We believe God saw that he was not use
full, even if ornamental, and removed him to
make room for better man.
We believe johnson is better man than
Lincoln-f he has not been, surely the
Republican party would not have gone ont
of tie Union for q candidate for tie Ece
Presidency, achen they had SO many good,
pure, honorable statesmen IN the North!
We believe the country would be better
off to-day, if every Republican and Aboli-
ton traitor, meddler, sycophant, apologist,
thief, traitor, or tool Of traitors, were in the
bosom of Abraham
We believe, further, that the Abolition
party is going to the devil, literally, and we
do not care how quick.
And we still further believe that "Brick'
Pomeroy has more true friends in the coun-
try than Lincoln ever had-that we do not
care the snap of finger for the good or i'll
opinion of all the Abolition editors in the
land-that we shall edit this paper just as
we see fit, and do what not one Of our as
sailants dare do-tell the truth without fear
or favor.-Ld Crosse Democrat.

An Extra Session of the Legis-
lature.

L appears from the intimations had from
Andrew Curtin that the Legislature viii be
called together soon to adopt orreject certain
amendments to the Constitution, which were
passed by two-thirds of the present Rump
Congress. These amendments carry with
them the curse of negro suffrage and negro
equality with the whites in civil and political
rights.
THIS question the disunionists dare not al
low to go to the people. The present Legis-
lature therefore must act on the matter, no
difference if they were elected at time when
no issue of the kind was before them or ever
dreamed of
The disunionists cannot afford to let the
issue come before the people this fall.
1t will be at a heavy expense to the tax
payers if the Legislature is called together.
But what does Curtin care for the poor peo-
pie who twice elevated him to his present
position ? Nothing. The next Eegisla-
.twe could do the work without the addi-
ton of single cent to the regular expenses.
We viii have word more in our next.

The Ten per Cent Tax.

There are so many Incorrect statements
made about the tax that will be imposed on
the issues of banks organized under State
laws, paid out by banks on and after the 1st
of July, 1866, that it is important for every
business man to understand the law. The
Act of Congress, of March Sd, 1865, reads
thus:
Sec. g. And be it further enacted, That
every National Banking Association, State
Bank, or State Banking. Association, shall
pay tax of ten per cent. on the amount of
notes of any State Bank or State Banking
Association paid out by them after the 1st
day of July, 1866.
1t will be noticed that the tax is imposed
only on banks paying out other notes than
those of National Banks or United States
legal tenders, and that in no case can the tax
be imposed on individuals, merchants, bro
kers or agents, (other than Banks) paying
them out, or using them in their business.
The circulation of the notes of State banks
among individuals, is in no way interfered
with by this law. Holders of these notes
need not be under any apprehension of any
loss by the ten per cent. tax imposed, as
Banks alone are subject to that penalty for
paying them out after the time specified in
the law, for as some of our cotomporariesr re-
mark, there will really be no tax at all on
State bank circulation, because no one but
banks are taxed for paying them out, and
they will not under the penalty. Private
bankers will spring up throughout the coun-
try, and will buy up from brokers, the bills
of the State banks, and use them as circula-
ton for the people, while the State banks
will close up, to some extent, after providing
for the redemption of thier notes when re-
turned to their redeeming agent. We think
that the effect of this will be that less de-
posits will be made with banks, and more
with private bankers and banking officers,
who are left free to receive and pay out State
bank notes. Shrewd bankers see this, and
already some changes have been made, or
rather, banks closed (both National and
State) and private banking offices opened in
their places; and doubtless many more chan
ges will occur of the same kind, asvery good
reasons exist, for the changes, which are,
that by closing the banks they avoid heavy
taxes which the States areattempting to i'm
pose on both National and State; as private
bankers they are not liable to a tax on the
currency they pay out, but are leftfree to re-
cdive and pay out State bank notes; and now
that the banking business is less profitable
than for the past few years, these considera-
lions weight Peteyson' S BIZ Note List

KEEP YOUR DISCHARGES Curtin
having signed the bill DISTINGUISHING non
reporting drafted men, and the Supreme
Court not having determined the constitu-
tionality of the act of Congress of March
3, 1864, upon which decision the validity.
of the State law rests, it is essential that
all honorably discharged soldiers should pre-
serve their discharge papers, and that all
persons who were enrolled for the draft and
secured exemption for any and every cause,
should preserve the papers furnished them
by the boards of enrolment
All those papers viii have to be preserved
with scrupulous care, because it is likely,
land proper enough too,) that all persons
who were enrolled or who have been in SER
vice will be required to show their qualifca-
tions as electors. 1t viii be very annoying
and irritating, no doubt, especially to vete-
rams who haYe served their country faithfully
during the var to be compelled to submit to
the same drawbacks and annoyances so long
endured by naturalized citizens, but there
can be no help for it if the Disunion-shoddy-
Republican bill goes into operation. The
soldiers must thank the soldiers friend"
and the Disunionists of the last Legislature
for all the trials and tribulations to which
they viii be subjected. Preserve the papers

BREAKERS AHEAD % An old Republi-
can" writes the following to the Pittsburg
Commercidl-the leading Republican paper
of that city:
''Will the Convention follow Stevens, Sum-
ner, Wade, Butler and Schurz or the Pres

If the counsels of the former are to be
adopted, and their principles Incorporated
into the party creed, it will not be very i'm

CONNECuCUT-Since the Democrats of
New Haven have carried the city election,
by more than eleven hundred majority, and
have obtained tie vote in the Common
Council, which, by the casting vote of the
Mayor, enables them to appoint City Judge,
whose politics harmonic with the eleven
hundred majority, the Republicans have dis
covered that the law, which their friends
passed by the last Legislature, giving crimi-
nal jurisdiction to the Judge, is a most fla
grant violation of the Constitution that the
Judge appointed under this law of their own
making, is nothing but an usurper, and all
his acts under the enlarged powers are void,
and good for nothing And yet, the law was
made by two Republican lawyers, Messrs.
Foster and Harrison, then representing New
Haven, and neither they, nor their political
friends, ever intimated the slightest consti-
tutional objection to it, till now.
