We have received intelligence from Win

Our informant states that many Of the cit
izens of Franklin county have been plnnder-
ed and maltreated within the past few days
and that others haye been compelled to seek
refuge in the woods.
These enormities hare all been committed
on people whose conduct has been above
even suspicion. The only excuse alleged foi
killing Brown, was that he had served In the
Confederate army during the war and the in
dications at present are that the best citizenf
of the county will fall victims to the yindic-
tive hatred of these licensed sssassins.
So great Is the feeling Of alarm through
out the section of country named, that the
people have already begun TO organize for

HIGH PRICES.

II cannot be denied that dissatisfaction
prevails throughout the country at the con-
tinued reign Of high prices and, to much
greater extent than is generally considered.
The opinion, II will be remembered, was
very general at the closing of the war, some
two years ago, that prices wodld fall nearly
to an average of 1890, but to-day, after
return to peace sufficiently long for business
to assume Its legitimate channels, and labor
It's regular courses, we find that trade remains
unsettled and the workmen throughout all of
the larger cities engaged instrikes. The pa
per currency Of the country has advanced in
value over one hundred per cent as compar-
ed with the gold standard; hundreds Of thou
sands of soldiers have returned 70 the pursuits
OF peace; the West Is rapidly increasing its
population, and yet high prices continue, and
many OF the necessaries Of life are dearcr
now BY twenty per cent than at any time
during the war, What 10 the cause Of this 7
The question b easily answered. We arc
Paying tcdr tdres In time Of peace.
The hopeful feeling at theolose of the war
has almost entirely departed from the minds
OF the people, aud labor is everywhere de-
mapding more wages to meet the increased
expenses Of living, while at the same time,
capital is despondent and looks towards the
future In doubt. Public coniidenccA weak
ed and industry Is suffering and that too,
when we have more than twice the money
In circulation that we had in 1860.
We are paying war taxes in time Of peace!
About forty-six millions Of dollars Q month
60 into the National Treasury from the pock,
els OF the people. This vast sum, under the
present system OF taxation, Is made to bear
anequaily upon the producing interest and
when that suffers, dissatisfaction, discomfort
and want of confidence follow. Taxes are
too heavy for return very soon to chesp
living. This Is made evident by the feel.
NJ OF the country. But 1t isAot the large
amount which is taken from the incomes OF
the people by the National Government alone,
that makes the burthen 20 hard to bear; that
bnrthsn 10 vastly increased by local taxation.
What the extent Of this increase Is, Il is very
difficult in the absence of statistical facts To
determine; but when the annual growth and
the National debt are added together, tAe load
100 great for the labor Of the country TO bear
yitbeW sufs. ing. And not until this serious
fact Is fully understood, and has its legiti.
mate effects in producing a change in our
system OF taxation to one more in accordance
with the theory Of our Government can we
look for cheap living, and that general pros
