The trial xas ended several weeks ego,

Simply beeasss they wanted time to bring

they wished to iuducs, or frigh.sa sworn

This tampering and threatening went on
until the 10th, and the jury assembled fol

- Gould, of the Register, re-
peats the stale falsehood a dozen
times every week, that the Radicals
declare that the bondholders shall
be paid in gold,
The platform of the Radical or
Union party, says nothing about
paying the Government bonds in
gold. Union men, as all honest
men are, are in favor of paying the
Government Indebtedness accord
ing to contract, The Republican
platform says, in relation to the
payment Of our Indebtedness, that
"The national honorrequires the
payment of the national indebted
ness in the utmost good faith to all
creditors, at home and abroad, and
not only according to the letter but
the spirit of the law under which it
was contracted"
Is there anything wrong about
this : We presume that our neigh
Dor would like to have all his sub
scribers pay him for his paper &C
cording to contract; and from the
multiplicity of duns he is inhicting
upon them, we should judge he be-
gins to think they are not exactly
honest, because they do not pay
according to contract.

Taxing Bonds.

The Democratic party when they
were asking the people for their
votes last year, affected to think it
was a terrible wrong that Govern
ment bonds were not taxed, and
shed great crocodile tears in sym
pathy for the dear, oppressed peo-
pie, and pledged themselves that if
they were placed in the majority in
the Ohio Legislature, they would
pass a law that would compel these
bloated fellows who held bonds,
to pay taxes on them. Well, upon
this and many other pledges, never
intended to be fulfilled, but design
cd to catch votes, they got the ma
jority in our State Legislature
But did they tax these bonds ? Not
a bit OF it. They had the majority
and could pass any bill they chose
to. Why did they not pass a bill
a tax on the bonds as
they promised the people they wo'd
do The simple reason is, because,
since the war has closed, the rebel
lion put down, and the Government
unquestionably solvent and respon-
sihle for all its liabilities, q great
many Democrats have themselves
become bloated bondholders, and it
would not do to afflict the members
of the Democratic household in that
way. That's what's the matter.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1868-09-10

election not having been held when
they started from Columbus--the
Governor had placed them under
the command of Mr. George w.
McCook, a Democratic politician of
prominence, whom he constituted
his own personal agent, Under his
supervision all the arrangements
had been made, and for his selec-
ton also the Governor was tlercely
assailed. The newspapers took up
the complaints of the soldiers; and
the people of the State were soon
made TO believe that the sons they
had hurriedly sent out in their eager
zeal to save the National Capital
were suffering from the neglect of
the State authorities, and the indif.
ference or cruelty of those placed
over them"
The reasons why the Governor
appointed McCook to the position
above stated, are given in the fol-
lowing extract from the same histo-
ry. They are as follows:
The selection of Mr.. McCook was
one of many similar acts by which,
adroitly seizing upon any promi-
nent Democrat who could be used, |
the Governor, seeing plainly that
the war must be war of the people
and not of one party, sought to
commit the Democratic organiza-
ton also to its support. But the
public mind was not in state to
look for or to comprehend these
motives for the Governors actions.
This is the whole war history of
this pseudo Col. Geo. w. McCook.

fought for and advocated the policy
of crushing out the rebellion, and
perpetuating the Union of all the
States. OF course they would like
to have the people forget their past
mis- deeds! so would the convicted
criminal when he is receiving the
just sentence of the Court, plead
with that honorable functionary to
"let by cones be by-gones"-let his
infamy be buried with the past and
restore him to liberty and respect
ability. If the Judge had the pow
er to do this, would you justify him
in the act We are inclined to
think not. So let it be with the
rebels and their sympathizers. Let
us hold up the record they have
made for themselves before the
people of this country, and let us
never cease to hold them RESPONSE
bic for IFS results so long as we and
they live, unless they openly, hon
estly and practically acknowledge
the error of their ways, and pledge
themselves never again to repeat
their nefarious war record; until
they openly confess that that record
and their opposition to crushing
out the rebellion, was wholly wrong,
and was the means of protracting
the war beyond the time necessary
to have crushed the rebellion, if
they had, as true Jackson Demo
Gratis, adopted and practically car
ried out the principles of that patri-
otto old motto-"My country first,
last, and all the time p instead of
''My party first, last, and all the
time"

- The Register wants to know
whether we will be honest enough
to tell the people "what party in
creased the per diem of the Legis-
lature from three to five dollars
per day?
Yes, we will tell you. The Re
publican party were in the majority
IN the Legislature when the per diem
was increased; and, in proportion
to other things, it was not equal to
the per diem allowance under Dem
ocratic rule in former days. But
when the Republicans increased the
per diem, they did not suppose that
they were to be succeeded the very
next year by set of Treasury rob
bers, who gained their seats by
pledges to the people chat they
would reduce the expenses of the
State Government Now if they
had been honest in their profes-
sions, they could have reduced their
per diem to three dollars day, or
they could have made the shortest,
instead of the longest session ever
held in the State. The way they
reduced expenses was by increasing
them about one hundred thousand
dollars. They hadn't sense enough
ia reduce them by cutting down
their own expenses, or by making
a short session. They showed a
wonderful want of legislative skill,
so far, at least, as reducing the ex-
penses of the State Government is
concerned.

- The Register man wants to
know if we advise Mr., Mat. Black
more to join the Democratic party
because the Union voters at their
primary election nominated Col.
Garis for Sheriff. No, Gould, we
do not think little enough of any
decent gentleman to advise him to
do as mean a trick as that. Besides,
IL we were to intimate any such
to Mr.. Blackmore onE person
al safety might require a good dis
tance between us, or we to possess
a very swift power of tocomotion.

Gould says, "We presume when
we ask for office at their hands, 1.-THE
people of Fayette county, we will
get it."
Didn't you ask the people of this
District last year to elect you to
the State Senate? Well, did they
do it? Ask Col. Yeoman and the
people of Fayette County. On the
principle that "a burnt child breads
fire." we suppose that Gould dom t
intend to ask the people of this
county for office.

- The Copperheads of the South
those fellows who tried to break
up this Government, and were back
ed up by the sympathizers of the
democracy in its party organization,
speak of the late bloody conflict be-
tween Union men and rebels, as
''the late sectional unpleasantness,"
and when referring to the terrible
thrashing they received from our
Union soldiers, simply and mildly
speak of it as "tbe Lost Cause"
