The Cincinnati Price Current, which

standard authority with business men
Of the West, in its last weekly fnan-
cial review. says:
Business remains moderately active,
but somewhat sluggish In the produce
department The advance of United
States bonds IN London aud Frank
fort depresses the price of gold, and
the impression is now becoming quite
general, that as soon as Mr.. johnson
is removed out Of office, a marked de-
cline will be established in gold or,
10 other words a marked advance in
United States securities in London
and Frankfort. Capitalists regard
the peace of the nation in danger, as
long as Mr.. johnson is in power, aud,
therefore, are timid; but as tho pros
peet Of his removal becomes more APP
parent, their confidence increases, as
shown by the advance ia bonds. Har-
mOny between the different branches
Of our Government is Justly regarded
indispensable to security; aud it is
this which renders the removal Of
President johnson a necessity.

Messrs. SPROULE, WHITTLEsEY and

views OF a Texas UnIonIst.

We have been shown a private let
ter from a distinguished politician ia
Texas, prominent lawyer and for
merly judge of the Court, a
native-born SOutheruer, from which
we make an extract. 1t is evil
dent that the genuine Union men OF
that or Of the o.her Southern States,
realize that the hope of the South
and the peace of the country depend
upon the successful enforcement of
the reconstruction measures Of Con-
gress. While admitting the prejudice
against negroes voting, he is at loss
to understand why Union men should
refrain from voting on that account.
But without commenting at any length
on the letter, we copy the following g,
which speaks for itself
"Itis now certsin that we shall hold a
Convention Ia Texas. under the recon-
stractlOn acts. But I an greatly dlsap-
pointed that such large proportion OF the
loyal men of the State SHOULD have re-
manned away from the polls and not voted
at all It can only be accounted for by
reason OF the prejudice and hostility
against negro suffrage. This prejudice is
natural, but that Union men should per.
NIT it to keep them from she polls, Is TO be
regretted. Certain il is that the loyal IN en-
OF the south have no earthly chance Of
establishing State govern ments in loyal
hands except by the aid of the freedmen.
Even with them the contest Is doubtful
one, and will be utterly hopeless If the
President prevails over Congress. What
will be the condition of our country, r.
after i've years of bloody strife, resulting
in the success OF the Union, treason IS at
last left triumphant aud IN control of the
South But I can't think it possible that
the people of the North and West will
permit this. II they do, the war for the
Union will have been fought ia vain, aud
we shall have an ,ther revolution very
soon."

OBITUARY NOTICE.


BENSON T. ATHERTON
Departed this life March 9TH, at six o'clock
NJ. This COURSE" thus fulnned - we
rejoice TO add, with joy" opened in
Pennsylvania. Early ia his life his pa
rents removed to Evansville, Ind. Here,
whea he was but eight years Old, he lost
his mother, and two years later his father.
Thus early was he cast, an orphan, on the
world. Psalm xxNii. 10 was fulfilled 70
him. In has twelfth year, his mlnd was
much affected on the subject OF religion,
and a gracious bias given to his views and
feelings that remained with HIM, bless
ing and a safek uard, throughout his days.
This occurred under the ministry Of the
Rev. Benoni Stinson. The little boy, thus
impressed. was sent back 20 Pennsylvania,
to hyde Park, a pretty village iQ the val
ley OF the susquehanna. and was ere
received into the family Of his aunt. She
was piOus, discreet woman, and proved
to be as a mother 10 him. ITO her teach
fngs, restraints, and example" he always
said, che owed much" she instructed
him carefully in the Holy Scriptures. So
he grew on towards manhood. While
there he acquired a considerable know
ledge Of the printing business! on coming
West he entered the office Of the Nj. Car
mel Regis Ter, Mt. Carmel, H., then con-
Quoted by the late Iajor Theodore $. Bow
ers, chief OF Gen. Grants staff. From this
time forward he engaged closely in his
business, for some time editing % local
paper in Illinois. and then In the Evans
VILE Journal Office. In August, 1867, be
left the city, and came to reside among his
relatives, at the village of Friendsville,
III. Here, during the progress OF the meet
ings of the Week OF Prayer tthe first week
in January, he became interested and
was hopefully converted, and conEected
himself with the Presbyterian Church Of
that place. His career from this time on
was a shining example or piety.
His final sickness, which lasted near two
weeks, was full OF the usual distressing
symptoms OF typhoid pneumonia. but
through II ali he was wonderfully conn
forted. All his patience In his affiiction,
his peace of mind, and hope, he ascribed
to the sustaining power ofreligion. God
sustains me-" he often said to his weeping
friends Ju-t At Che last, he suddenly
ooensd his eyes, and gerly whispered,

Eu0Q-
Making an average levy of A 1-6
cents per year.
THE HEAVY TAX EXPENSES.
1t must be borne in mind that the
six years of Republican administra-
ton embraced the years of the war,
when there were greatly increased ex-
penses for the payment of soldiers
bouuties. the relief of the poor, aud
especially the support Of soldiers
families and the large immigration Of
refugees. Besides these there were
various increased expenses resulting
from the war and the de a1ged condi-
ton of the country, And notwith-
standing all these the comparison
stands thus:
Democratic taxation lin peace1-6I7S cents.
Republican taxation (tn war ...-..4416 cents.
GOLD VS.. GREENBACKs.
1t must also be remembered that
under Democratic administration,
with WILLIAM FL. WALKER as inan-
cial manager, the tax levy was upon
a gold basis, with everything at low
prices. Under Republican admins
tration the tax levy was upon an in
fated currency, sometimes as high as
280, and with prices increased two and
three fold. If we estimate the aver
age premium on gold at $50, which is
very reasonable, we have this COM
parison:
Democratic taxation (in gOId)...-6I75 cents.
Republican taxation lin gold ...2911S cents.
Or, if we reverse the estimate:
Democratic taxation in currency 92JS cents.
Republican taxation in currency 4416 cents.
TAXATION IN ADJOINING COUNTIES.
During Mr.. WALKERS administra-
ton of County affairs, loud complaints
were made about the high taxes, and
it was alleged that we were being
more heavily taxed than other coun-
ties. A controversy arose in
the papers upon the subject, in the
course of which Mr. WALKER adj
mitted that our taxes were higher
than those of the ueighboring coun-
ties; but his explanation Of this fact
was that Vanderburgh County was
cut up by creeks and water courses,
which made the county expenses COM
paratively heavier on account Of the
building and repairing of bridges and
roads. We very much doubt the
truth of this assertion, as compared
with other counties Of the First D.s-
trict; and yet admit it to be true,
what are the facts ? Under
Republican administration about as
much money has been expended upon
our water-eourses and highways, and
yet it appears, by reference to the last

A Significant straw.

It is the boast of the New York
Herald. that it represents, rather than
moulds, public sentiment. In this
view only is any importance to be at
tached to its utterances. It is appa-
rent now, that the HsratE is preparing
to come over to the support Of the
Chicago nominee. In its issue Of
last Saturday. it uses the following
language
General Grant has shown that
against his broad, deeply set and sub
stantial popularity as the victorious
leader of the Union armies against
the rebellion, he will, in the four mile
heat over the Presidential course, dis
lance any one of all the quarter
horses that have been named in be-
half of the Democratic party. In op-
position TO Grant it has been demon
strated BY the New Hampshire cleo
ton that any such antediluviau law
yer as Seymour, Pendleton or Hen
bricks, on old Democratic principles,
will come off much worse from the
trial than did Mcclellan from his race
With the sure-foOted, long-legged and
long -winded Lincoln.
What then, are the Democracy to
do? The State gathering at Albany
the other day was conclave of driv-
ellers, Seymour at the head of them.
They talked and resolved themselves
into a muddle and then adjourned.
But still the Tammany schemes
excepting Hoffman, perhaps) have
had the conceit taken out of them By
New Hampshire, aud they see that
they are all adrift; that against Grant
any candidate without a first rate war
record is useless, aud that the So
called " time-honored principles of
the Democratic party are only so
much old lumber and rubbish of the
age before the food. What. then. are
the Democracy to do? Where are
they to find their required hero of the
war? Mcclellan was used up in 1864:
Hancock, they find, IS not exactly the
thing; Sherman is with Grant; Sheri
dan Is a regular Radical: Meade
ditto, and the fighting Thomas has
pronounced against johnson in an
appeal to Cd Ben. Wade.

THE Courier, y 'sterday, copied an
extract from Gov. SEYMoUR's anti
Pendleton, anti-greenback speech, and
endorsed it as admirably indicating
the essential evil Of the financial sit
uation. This seems to be direct
abandonment of the State Platform
of the Democratic party, and repudi-
alton of Mr.. PENDLETON's financial
policy.
