Tns PAYMENT OF TAxEs.-As money has
bsen called the sinew Of war. SO may it be
termed the sinew Of good government
Without money the most profoundly invent
ed system Of government must soon give
way to the rule Of anarchy. The kcokuk
Cats City prides itself somewhat on the
fact thss out Of $4,000 taxes assessed on
that city, delinquency Of only $1,000 in
collecting occurs. Davenport can show a
far clearer record than that. Our city taxes
for tho past year were assessed At $50, ,22S..
40, and Of this large sum only $4s.s4 re-
main uncollected. The remarkable prompts
ness Of our citizens in settling up, can be
traced to the fact that, living in the finest
place in Iowa, and feeling an interest in its
good name and future prosperity, and hav>
ing the money to pay with. and knowing
that the money will be well. applied, they
can find no objection to paying their taxes.

Tns CAu:I OF SrA0xArioN IN Bus:SEis.
The Cincinnati Gazette Of the 10Th gives an
explanation that seems to US to como nearer
the real cause Of stagnation in business Of
oil kinds than anything yet advanced. Ii
says:
II is always to be remarked that tho pre

and something more than an easy money
market 10 necessary to give . new start 70

to invest it because Of the unsettled condi-

The volume Of money 10 large enough, but
its flow has been interrupted. Give the

to adopt policy, on the part Of the Gov

upon the country sweeping commercial dis

taken the life out Of business and while It
has accomplished this much Of evil it has
not brought the country any nearer specie

FRxIAxisM.-It seems that the breach
which so long divided the Fenisn Brother
hood into hostile factions. 10 about to be
closed. Stephens, the leader on the other
side Of the water, was Of the opinion that
the objects Of Fenianism should bs fought
for on Irish soil, AID also believed that the
Irish people were strong enough to insug''>
rate the struggle, and carry 1t on until a.
sistaues could bs rendered from America
Roberts, on the other hand. entertained no
such sangu,ne ideas. He did not believe
the Irish we're strong snsugh to attempt
what must prove gigantic effort in any
event, and favored the conquest Of Canada
- On opening movement. During Stephens
visit to this country, the warfare between
the two factions was any thing but benefi-
cal to the cause. and the money and time
expended in fruitlsss controversies, was
worse than wasted. To what extent
this family quarrel frustrated Sweeney
efforts, it would be impossible to es>
timste at this time. The breach,
however, has st length been wisely healed
and the Brotherhood has again commenced
an active preparation. During tho times oI
disagreement, the Davenport circle adhered
to the Roberts faction. As Stephens haa
finally acknowledged himself to have been
in error, there remains no further cause Of
disaffection. The meeting at I.eCaire Hall
last evening, was not IS large as was desirable

those present were undoubtedly Of the righ,
