County Taxes.

EDS. JEFF: In your paper of the
Goth inst. is an article signed "Jus,
tice," calling the attention OF the
voters of Hancock county. to the re-
markable fact that this is the worst
taxed county in the State, as shown
by comparison with other counties.
When my attention was first at
tracted to this subject by the state
ments of "Justice," 1 supposed it
possible that he had fallen into some
errors, but upon a careful examina-
tiOn OF it, / find his statement cor.
rect, but the whole truth is not stat
ed.
Hancock county had a population
in 1860 OF 23,006, and in 1866 paid
for county purposes alone a tax of
SIT ,999 SO. The tax paid in Seneca
for county purposes was s9,412 o3.
Seneca, in 1860 had population of
al,OSS. The taxable property of
Seneca county in 1866 was s12, ,549,-
66l. In Hancock county in the same
year it was s7,994,673.
Champaign county-population in
1860, charlottesville in 1866, S14,-
$3.50; county tax 1866, 81, 1896 o..
The vote of Wood county last fall,
was only % less than the vote of
Hancock. Her county taxes last
year were s9,T22 55. Pickaway in
the same year paid $4.9Ol so. San
dusky. S7,4sl 5S. The resslt of ex-
animation shows that Hancock coun-
ty is taxed for county purposes in
to population and wealth,
more than any other county in the
State.
Why is this so? Can any one
give satisfactory reason for it ?
Perhaps thorough and careful ex-
animation of the records of our coun- I
ty for some years back might furnish
q clue to it. When the Commission
srs Of Hancock county claimed of
VIM. Fanlue, the then retiring Treas
lrer, $4,000, and finally compromis-
ID with him for sI,700, who made
Up the deficiency? If the tax PAYERS
10 not know, l think the enormous
mount charged upon the duplicate
IS county tax, furnishes a good KEY
or guessing. Viii the Commission

SOLDIERS.

REMEMBER that President A.
johnson ia his maudlin speech over
the graves of your comrades at
Antietam, gave an equal need OF
praise to rebels and Union men. In
that speech--if such it can be called
he made no distinction in favor OF
those who gave their lives to per
petuate the Government, but in con-
OF 'onieers present IN in JuH Confederate
uniform, toned his remarks in such
a manner as would show that his
sympathies were with the rebels.
2 BEAR IN MIND that if you vote
che Copperhead ticket you endorse
Johnson's infamous speech, and con-
sign your comrades to infamy.
Can it be possible that any Union
soldier has sunk so low-has forgot
ten the privations, sufferings, wounds
and toFtRres inflicted on himself
and comrades-that he will endorse
Andrew Johnson in saying that the
soldiers, North and South. were
brave" - fa
Treachery, persecution, incessa~,
attempts at starvation in Libby, An
Colambls snd Belle Isle,
do not constitute bravery. ~

Abusing Poor McCalan.

Since the defalcatiOn of Sheriff
McCahan forced itself to light, much
to the chagrin of the leaders Of the
Democracy in Firdlay, these gentle
men are terribly severe upon him.
Words can hardly express their bit
ter feelings toward him. In their
language he is "sneak," ga pup"
"a thief, and aver that she has ru-
Iined the party When he left town
a few days since, they Immediately
proclaimed that ''the miserable skunk
had run away, and the party was well
rid of him. 1nsT .. 49,. e.
This thing of abusing Dune. would
be all well enough if coming from
honest men, because he has not done
just right, but to come from such men
as it does is rather cool. .....
Every one VINO knows Dune. can
not but admit that he Is a clever fel
low--that he possesses literally to
such degree as to make it fault.
The Democratic leaders understood
this, and took advantage of it. Du-
ring the time that MsCahan had that
Office these men rode the free horse
almost to death-their hands were
continually in Dunes pocket, and
aeyer lev left it without being filled with
money. If there was a Convention
to be attended, Dune. was expected
to pay the expenses of the crowd )
were teams required to convey speak
to their appointments in the country,

brunt of the expenses, and so on to
the end of the chapter. AS might be
expected. he came out at the little
end of the horn. That is portion

leaders Of the Democracy.
We do not hold McCahan guiltless,
but think more blame should be at
tached to the Democratic leaders
than to him. Yet, being response
BILE for all this, these very scoundrels
have the impudence to ask the intel
ligent voters of the county to still
perpetuate their power.
Still another thing. Before the
reelection of McCahan, these leaders
were fully cOgnisant Of the fact that
he was sadly behind-hand in his Off
cial business, financially, but instead
of exposing him, as they should have
done, they rode up and down the
county to secure his ne election
They did this knowing that if the
truth should come to light it wonid
at once end their power.
Men of Hancock! how do you like
these things Can you, for the sake
OF party feeling. longer continue
such men in power?

The Court House clique, elected

and various other losses oecasioned
by the ignorance and prOfligacy Of

The Union Republicans should not
forget that the Presidential contest
of 1868 may virtually be decided by
the elections of 1867. A right vote
now is right vote then, and a wrong
vote now is an encouragement for
the opposition. The verdict this
year decides whether Andrew John

our liberties now, and the rebels 70
entirely subvert then and destroy
the country by success next year
There never was more important
election in Ohio than the election of
this year. Every man must do his
