IN D9y0fjon 30 Che Soldiers,

The two Democratic papers of this
city are very much exercised on be-
half Of the soldiers of the Republi-
can party, and appear to be greatly
alarmed for fear they will not be fairly
treated IN the distribution of the
offices at the approaching election.
The C.m.jcr was out yesterday in
| flaming head lines on the subject, and
the Sentinel devotes lengthy
editorial to a plea in behalf
of the soldiers, and defense of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
it but a few weeks ago was so roundly
abusing. When the antecedents of
these papers are recalled, their pres
ent attitude only creates laughter and
contempt on the part of the soldiers
of the Union party. All this parade
about dissatisfaction on the part of
the soldiers has no other foundation
than the fertile brain of the editors,
who see nothing but certain defeat in
the coming city election, unless they
can in some way create diversion in
the Union ranks. This they will not
be able to do. The Union Republi-
cans, soldiers and citizens, will come
together and arrange a full ticket
with unanimity and good feeling,
which will be elected by the largest
majority ever given in this city. Don't
trouble yourselves, neighbors, about
the soldiers. They had to pass
through more dangerous campaigns
than the one now before them, with
out any aid or sympathy from you or
your friends; and they will try to dis
pense with your kindly services now.

and also touching ali his other quail

falsely upon such examination re-
specting his aforesaid qualifications,
shall be guilty of perjury, and shall
be liable to be indicted, convicted and
punished therefor, under the General
Laws of the State of Indiana for the
punishment of the crime of perjury.
The ! Inspector of any election
may also require any and every per-
son of whose legal right to vote
the Judges of such election may have
doubts, to answer under oath all
questions touching his qualifications
to vote at such election; and any per-
son answering such questions falsely
shall be guilty of perjury, and upon
conviction thereof. shall be punished
under the laws of the State of In
diana, for the punishment of the
crime of perjury Provided, hoaoeUer,
That no person otherwise qualified to
vote under the provisions of this sec
ton, shall be prevented from voting,
on the grounds of having failed to
pay his taxes, where there is bona
tide controversy between him and the
city pending in any court of compe-
tent jurisdiction, as to the amount or
legality of such taxes, or any part
thereof.

The Mass Meeting Tonight.

We hope that all citizens, embraced
within the call, who take an interest
in the welfare of the city, and who
desire to retain its government in the
hands of safe men, will attend the
meeting at the Court House tonight.
1t is important that all interests be
properly represented; the mercantile,
the manufacturing, the mechanical,
and laboring classes. Do not leave
these meetings to the politicians alone.
The prosperity and good govern ment
of the city are Of such vital impor-
lance as to demand large attendance
from the business men and property
holders. There is, as far as we have
been able to learn, very general de-
termination to give the soldiers large
compliment of the valuable Offices
but they should be out in force to-
night to give vivacity and boldness to
this first movement of the campaign,
which the Union phalanx will make
upon the enemy's works"

Time of Payment Of County Taxes.

Time OF Payment OF County Taxes.
We give full abstract of the acts
of the Legislature in our special In
dianapolis dispatch this morning.
We find the following in the Indian
apolis Journal on the subject:
TAXES = EXTENSION OF TIME
Considerable inquiry has been made
as to the exact provisions of the law
extending the time for the payment of
taxes just passed by the Legislature,
and whether the act contained an
emergency clause to cover the taxes
now about due. The law as it finally
passed, and received the approval of
the Governor, extends the time
to the third Monday in April
(the 15th), and it took effect on its
passage. We learn that Auditor Nc
Carly is preparing a circular on the
subject, containing all the laws relat-
ing to the change, for distribution to
county officials.
