MILITARY DEsPoTIsMa BILB.-The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Express, in abiding to the latest
military dsspotism bill, says:
"The President is bound hand and
foot. BE can do nothing, and when the
news of the passage of the proposed
measure over the veto gets to Sheridan
and SiOkles, you may look out for i'm
pottant orders from those two Cars
Judicial officers will be vacated by COM
mand of Major-general Sheridan and
Major-general SiCkles, and.I would sug-
gest to the negro lawyers around Boston
that if they have any ambition to wear
the ertnine, they had better repair forths
with either to District No. 2 or District
No. 5. There will be fine opportunity
in that section for the display of their
legal requirements, under the protection
of such eminent law'givers as the two
Major generals aforesaid"

The editor Of the Zaleski (Vinton- county

The Cincinnati Enquirer is slightly mista-
ken. The Enquirer is published in McAr-
thur instead Of zslsSki. The site for a wool
en- factory will be donated as our CotempOr-
airy states. Please correct the mistake.
The following is the notice, which has
been published for several weeks in this
paper, from which the Cincinnati Enquirer
editor derived his information:
A WOODEN FACToRY.-A person who owns
q large and valuable tract Of land, through
which the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad
passes, west Of and adj dining the Zaleski
Estate, in Vinton county, authorizes us to
state that @ site for o Wooden Factory will
be given free TO any party who will build
upon IL. It is an excellent place for q Wool
en- Factory; about one mile from the zalesk
Depot Of the NJ. & c. B. r.; and water, coal,
wood, and every thing else necessary fol
building and run ming an establishment Of
this kind, being near at hand. We think
there is mot a more convenient location in

The PASSAGE OF THE DEsPoTIsM
BILL.-Nothing better illustrates the
blindness and intensity Of party strife
in this country than the passage Of the
military dcSpotism bill iu-the- Congress-
ional Rump over the Presidents voto.-
Il is such an unanswerAble document,
and gives such grave and Weighty reasons
against the monstrouI measure, that there
could not probably be found q disinter-
ssted, reasonable and unprecedented man
in the world, who is in favor Of a re.
publican form ofgovernment, that would
not favor its rejection, after reading such
an exemption Of its contents as the Pres.
ident gave. But reason and common
sense are thrown away upon such q body
of crazy and infatuated partisAnH as now
rule the Congress at Washington, who,
heated by passion and gapgreDod by
prejudice, are capable Of committing any
WIRING that their party interests may seem
to require. When party feeling over
rides such Q message, there is q poor
prospect for the perpetuity of republican
institutions.

BEN WADE, is in for a re-division OF
property, In his Kansas speech, on the
10th, he said
"Tho shadow Of another struggle was

SO much for the slave, cannot quietly re-
gard the. terrible distinction which exists
between the man that labors and him
that does not: PROPERTY IS MOI
FAIRLY DIVIDED, AND A MORE
EQUAL DISTRIBUTION MUST BE
WROUGHT OUT.
Wendell Phillips, too, pipes that agra
rian song, He, in urging COniscatlOn

ConfsCation is mere, naked justice to
the former slave. Who brought theland
into cultivation Whose sweat and toll
are mixed with it forever? Who cleared

Whose hand reared those houses 2
Whose wages are invested in those ware

"Who built Beacon street, Boston

FASHIONABLE CHURCH MUsIc.-There
are signs, throughout all religious socie'
ty, of disgust at the miserable farce Of
choirs in the churches composedi in whole.
or in part, of ungodly persons, who par
%ticipaie in the singing and playing only
for the music or for the pay. A writer
in the Examiner and Chronicle describes
a fashionable city choir as follows :
"The cook-loft, ten feet behind and ten
feet above the worshipers then the four
teen sorts of ne-boOks the the balu'
strade to hide the p%raisers then the
praisors themselves, who come trippin TO
their places with exuberant satiSfactio
and demonstrative delight; then their
salutations and greetings, which in any
other part of the church would be con-
sidered in~tolerably irreverent (therefOre
the chOir.loft is not recognized as o part
Of the church, or it's inhabitants a part
Of the worshipers } then the tittsr-s
disease which is as inourable in choirs as
it is inseparable from them then solemn
singing, with q background of merry
smiles, hilarious nudging, and character
istic (aot to say chOristeristic) winks ;
then a grand accommodating Of tune
books, accompanied by appropriate whis.
pers, during the prayer or the reading of
the Holy Bible; then a literary enter
tainment, or an exchange Of penciled
notes on all the great questions that in.
tersst the human mind-excspt religion;
then the transformation Of the choir loft
into a sleeping car, Of which the choris.
ter is the conductor, who wakes up his
passengers when it is time to go to prais'
ing again." Those who have heretofore
failed to discover that the above is a mat
ter.of.fact description of what is always
and inevitably connected withe the choir
arrangement, may profit at least by the
following, which we find in an exchange,
and which shows the inevitable tenden-
oy Of these fashionable exhibitions Cat
a prominent church in Indianapolis re'
Gently, on Sabbath, the audience applaur
ded the execution Of a fine piece Of mu@
10 with cIapping of hands and stamping
Of feet P"-[American Christian Review.
It does seem from what little history
we have gathered in relation to choirs,
that too much truth attaches itself to the
above, especially in Macarthur.
Here is a photograph Of the fashionable
music copied from the original:
"Waw-kaw Swaw daW aw raw,
Thaw saw thaw law aw-waws:
waw-kaw taw thaw r~aw-yaw-yaw Draw,

TAXES AND MoNEY, INTEREST The
average rate of taxes 10 Ohio is Two per
cent, on the assessed value of property
listed. The lawful interest of money
being six per cent, ono third of the in
come is taxes. 1t is the same with rents.
One.third of the rent is consumed in
paying taxes, The people who wish to
shirk the payment Of taxes call in their
debts and put their money 10 Govern"
ment bonds, and the taxes thew shirk are
borne by other people. Mr.. Sham Loyal
has one hundred and fifty dollars in Gov,
eminent bonds, and saves three thousand
dollars a year in taxes, which his neigh.
bors have to pay for him. This is the
case with our State and county taxes.
But to enable the United States to let
the bondholder go free oftax, the people
have to bear a tax on everything they
wear, every thing they drink, and every
thing they eat, and every thing they do.
They must pay twenty millions a year to
the Chase-bonds for the trouble Of Civ
ing us three hundred millions Of shin'
plaster money. They must pay one hun
dred and twenty millions a year to keep
an army, black and white, at the South,
to give the people republican govern
ment. The bonds must DO taxed-must
be taxed, and taxed, and taxed atthe full
rate of n e.third of the interest, as the
people of Ohio are taxed. And We must
have a Legislature that will represent
the people, and not act as mere toadies
to o whisky Congress- Urbana Union.
