Q9bio Statesman,
FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Ohio Statesman ]

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 10, 1868.
The past week in Washington has
probably been time of more interest
than any time of equal length during the
impeachn ent trial, and consequently
the galleries were filled to their utmost
capacity, whilst hundreds of anxious
individuals were obliged to remain out
side, not being able to obtain tickets
To the surprise of everybody, the coun-
sci for the President announced yester-
day that they had closed the evidence
for the President, unless Mr.. Stanbery,
who has not been able, in consequence
of illness, to be present for several days,
should suggest additional testimony,
which they did not think he would
This sudden cutting short the defense,
as your readers are, or will be apprised,
arose from the refusal of the Senate to
permit the cabinet officers of the Presi-
dent to testify as to consultations held
by them and the President in regard to
matters bearing directly upon the SUBJ
ject in dispute.
1t may be remembered by your read
ers that at an early period in the present
session of Congress, soon after the re-
turn of the members from the sixteen
days holiday. your correspondent ap-
prised the public through your colum ms
that impeachment would be revived as
soon as anything happened that would
give such men as Bingham and Wilson
a pretext to come over, and that strap"
had been set, with Stanton as the "bait''
to catch the President, and that as soon
as the President put his foot into it, he
would be put through "under whip and
spur" This information was obtained
from reliable Radical sources, as men,
toned at the time. did not, however,
suppose, the President would permit
himself to do the thing they desired,
however right in itself; but he did, to
their great joy, as anybody could see,
who took note of the manifestations of
the extreme Radicals ever afterwards.
L merely recite these things now to
show that the Radical party, in this
matter of impeachment, from beginning
to end, have thus far, followed their
usual tactics, of charging upon others
the crimes committed by themselves
This was the case in the early part of
the war. They solemnly declared by
Congressional enactment that the war
should not be prosecuted for the
subjugation of the Southern States,
but for * the maintenance of
the Union,p with all the dignity and
rights of the States unimpaired." Who
does not know now that this profession
was hypocritically announced, and every
Radical will laugh you to seorn when
! you quote it to him. as of binding obli-

COLUMBUS, O., THURSDAY MORNING,

would not they have made hero out of
Sergeant Bates and begged fragment
of his torn flag, to give as rich legacy
to their children? No one doubts this.
Where the "leather pinches the corn,"
is that Sergeant. Bates, gallant soldier,
has demonstrated to the world that they
have purposely misrepresented the peo-
pie of the Southern States in order to
oppress them by military rule and
fasten upon them their favorite dogma of
negro supremacy. They will find the
election of Sergeant Bates and his flag
from the Capitol of the nation by Radi-
cal orders, and sneeringly called "calico,"
disagreeable joke to tell the people,
when prating so glibly about their love
of the Union and the "starry emblem"
The weather to-day is disagreeably
cold, and the common remark is every
thing is wrong, even the weather.

"Wheneyer it is provided in this Con-

There would be other benefits result
ing from abolishing our April elections,
and making all others biennial. The
public mind would have peace on the
subject or politics, and exemption from
the opportunities of office seekers, to
degree it has never enjoyed in this State.
Of the vast sums now spent every few
months by candidates and party organi-
cations, more than one-half would be
saved, and the extended terms of
township officers would give them time
to learn the duties of their offices before
they should find it necessary to COM
mence canvassing for reelection.
We do not know how these views may
strike our coming lawmakers, but our
guess is that they cannot better CON-
mend themselves to the favor of their
constituents, than by 50 legislating as
to reduce the heavy burden Of county
taxation, and we doubt whether they
will find any expenditure that may be
more easily curtailed than that required
by our present system of holding cleo
tons every six months.--Indianapolis

pies in the management of its finances
If any one, either by reason of differ
ence in political views, Or greater know
ledge Of finance, can show better plan,
ne owes it to his country to give it the
beaeft Of his wisdom. The Republican
administration will doubtless be willing
to receive the advice OF any Democratic
statesmen who think they have a better
plan. 1t is one Of the bad signs of the
times, however, that great questions Of
finance and political economy are treat
ed in the pure dcIaagogue style In the
recent political csnvass it was noticed
that the Dem ocrstic orators were full OF

istration of the country land they made
considerable impression in that way),
but they proposed no other or better
plan The truth consists in two sim
pie facts. If we owe great deal of
money, and are able and willing to pay
it, then we must tax ourselves enough
to pay it; and then we must tax our
selves in the way easiest to bear All
plans Of finance must come to that if we
would be honest and fair with our

The Public Debt.-Tax to Pay it.

We take. the following extract from
an article headed "Our Financial Con
dition," written by E. D. NJ in the Gin
cinnati Gazette of the 18th:
'.Supposing our debt to be $780,
600 900, and that it is funded Gas il
ought to be in uniform obligations) J.
there will be s12O, 100000 gold (Which
we will call equal to Sl6O,Oo0, 900 green.
backs) to be paid for interest Add
$50, 900, 900 per annum to be paid on the
principal, and add S100,00O,00O (cur-
rency) for the ordinary expenses of gov
ernment. Then add $40 100000 per
annum for the next five years for out
standing claims. and 10,000,00 for the
Pacific Road, and we have in all $780,
900 900 per annum in greenbacks. The
average customs revenue has exceeded
$3.50, ,00O, 900 in gold, and is likely to ex-
ceed it hereafter. This is equivalent, at
the assumed rate of 80 per cent, to
$20s, ,000.00 greenbacks. We have then
less than $175, 100000 per annum to
raise by positive taxation. The only
question presented is, how shall it be
raised? Whatever the Democratic plat
form may have meant by equal taxation
(and it is difficult to know what they did
mean), the Republicans do not mean to
raise it by equal taxation. They do
not propose to raise on the lands of far
mers tax equal to what is raised on the
vices and luxuries Of the country On
the contrary, they believe it much easier
and in fact much more equitable to raise
the tax on whisky or tobacco, and on
the incomes of the rich, than to raise it
on the farm ers and mechanics. There
was heavy tax on manufactures of all
kinds, but these taxes have been, in q
great measure, if not wholly, taken off
and that is great relief to manufactur.
ing industry. The sum required of the
Government will, therefore, be easily
raised, without oppressing the industry
of the country eilier in land or labor.
sist upon it, shat it is more just to tax
