The Opening Gun Of the Campalgn (!

The majority for the democratic candi-
date for Governor in Kentucky is estimated
at fifty or sixty thousand, in total vote
less than that usually cast in Wisconsin
The majority for Mcclellan in 1854 was
36,515 and the democratic majority since
that time until now has averaged about
that figure.
Lett be remembered that large major
ity of the electors who voted the democratic
ticket Monday stood by the Union through
out the war. Let it be remembered, too,
that Kentucky furnished nearly eighty
thousand troops for the Union army. Let
it be remembered, also, that the democra-
cy in this election have necessarily carried
the bulk Of the Union soldiers who survive
the war
We commend the astounding result in
Kentucky to the radicals Of the north as a
prelude Of the fate that awaits them in
November elsewhere. Il means that radi-
calism has become generally ignominious
and is about to be annihilated
1t means particularly that Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, inclu-
ding the whole list of central states, are
about to cast their votes for Seymour and
Blair by overwhelming majorities.
The same influences which have con-
signed radicalism to infany and oblivion
in Kentucky are working to the same end
in every one Of the original conservative
states.

TIE new American invention of sinking
wells rapidly, has recently occupied the at
tention Of the Emperor Nspoleon Ill. while
at Fontsinebleau, 81 miles southeast from
Paris. The Emperor being conscious OF
the great service that these wells will be to
agriculturalists and to armies during cam
paigns, has been making experiments with
the process and with the implements as
we'll as with American pumps generally. =
Several American pumps, worked by hot
air engine, are now in operation at Fon-
tainebleau. They can throw Sl69 gallons
Of water per hour into the artificial river,
which was formerly supplied by the. Belle
Eau fountain, that gave its name to the on
cient city on the site Of the present Fon-
tainebelle-eau Though the original city
has long since disappeared, traces Of il
have been recently found by the excaya-
tions made at the command Of the Emperor.

A CHANGE DEMANDED, From one end of
the country to the other the cry goes up from
the people that we must have change.
The farmers demand change; the tax-pay-
ers demand a change; the lovers Of the
Constitution demand change; the whites
say they must and will have a change of
administration. Matters cannot be made
worse; they will not be made worse, they
shall not be made worse. They must be
made better by any change. Let thepeople
all unite in one universal demand for a
change. Let them through the press, on
the stump, on the street, on the highways
and on the byways. on Change in the mar
ket on sea and on land demand change,
and demand it in tones not to be misunder-
stood

who PAYS Che Taxes :

The Radical papers cannot understand
why the Democrats make such an outcry
about the taxes. They tellus we are most
" poor people who have little property, and
who pay no taxes, because they do not find
our names in the assessors lists. The great
manufacturers may think they pay the
taxes on manufactured goods; but do they ?
Whatever tax they pay they charge to the
wholesale purchaser; and recover It back
from him with interest The wholesale
dealer adds the tax, with still more interest
TO the bill he sends to the retail storekeeper
The storekeeper puts his own tax and all
the accumulated taxes the others have
charged 10 him upon the price of an article
when he sellsit over the counter to the work
ineman. This is what makes things so
dear. The laborer, buying goods ina store,
has to pay not only the original value ofthe
thing, but all the tax on 1t that has been
paid at each stage by manufacturer, whole
sale dealer, and storekeeper. Each ofthese
in turn recover from the man the amount
of tax they have paid; but the last man,
the consumer, the ultimate owner Of the
article, who does not sell 1t to anybody
else, but keeps it, uses 1t, and wears it out
who paws him the accumulated taxation
which all those richer men have, one aftel
the other, piled upon the goods, to enable
them to meet the demands OF the ta1-gath.
erer2 The tax is shifted from manufacturer
to wholesale dealer, and from him to the
storekeeper, and from him to the working
mar. But on whom shall the workingmar
shift the taxi He must pay it all, and gel
none of it back from anybody else. Aslone
as the goods are being sold and transferred
from hand to hand, so long as the tax is
kept shifting from one mans back to anoth
er; but when the article ceases to be turned
over in trade, and becomes applied to the
use for which it was designed, then the tal
can be no further shifted. The man who
wears the shirt pays the tax OF the store
keeper who sold it, of the wholesale dealer
who supplied it to the store, and Of every
man that has handled it, back to the cotton
factory millionaire in whose mills it wat
woven. AS jefferson says, 'Taxation il
like ball Of fire rolling down stairs; il
bumps on each step, but it finally rests OF
the lowest" 1t is the working masses who
pay the taxes; it is they who have the deep
est interest in honest and economical
administration of the Government It il
their money that pays the Freedman's Bu
reau, and supports lazy negroes in idleness
and rascally carpet-baggers in playing
pranks before High Heaven in the capacit!
Of bogus legislators of the States Of thu
South. The men in this country who worl
with their hands for daily bread are the onei
who pay the four hundred millions of dol
lars a year which the Radicals contrive Il

Attemnted ASSASSINATION Of a Priest.

The repose of the village Of Bennington,
Vt, was startled on the evening of the 1st
instant by q dastardly attack upon the
Catholic pastor, the Rev. Father Ryan. A
village desperate named Farrell has been
living with his feminine cousin. The re-
suit Of this illicit intercourse was the birth
of child, for the baptism Of which Farrell
applied to the Rev. Father Ryan. His
Reverence being acquainted with the cir
cumstances attending the child's birth, re.
fused at first to perform the ceremony,
whereupon Farrell said that he had been
married to the girl by the Rev. Father Hay'
ermans Of Troy. This gentleman was at
once telegraphed to by the Rev. Father
Ryan, in reference to the truth Of Farrell's
story, and fat denial was received, the
Rev, Father Havermans also sending word
that he had no knowledge Of the
couple. Farrell went from the church
vowing to take the life of the
pastor One Driscoll, fearing mischief,
remained at the residence of the Rev. Mr..
Ryan. At about II p. M, Farrell, armed
with seven shooter, appeared at the
house of the pastor, and demanded an in
terview.. As the priest was descending the
staircase, Discoll, who had watched Far
rell's movements as he stood upon the
doorsteps, cried out: 'For Gods sake,
Father, keep back, the man is going to
shoot your" Acting upon the caution, the
reverend fathefretired; but until Farrell
had discharged two bullets. Shortly after
ward q number Of Irishmen, alarmed by
the firing, came up from the village, and at

No DEBT.-The toiling and tax-burdened
people must be highly elated at the distin-
guished assurances Of the Welles school of
financiers that the debt under which they
labor and struggle is no burden because
their strength still holds out to bear it, and
the wealth they produce is still sufH-
cient to pay the interest upon it and keep it
swimming. The radical organs, without
an exception. adopted Welles' theory last
fall, and thes,as readily endorse his figuring
now The Troy Times, the home organ Of
Griswold, the rich government contractor
and tax-exempt bond-holder put up for the
Governor blythe radicals holds with Welles,
and its language is: IF you oloe debt and
haze The property 10 pay 4, i Is no burden"

The BENEHoFT RoBBERs. The robbers
of the old man Bennehof, in the oil re-
gions (about half million dollars), had q
hearing before q Justice at Franklin, Pa,
on Friday, which resulted in all being held
in bail to answer the charge against them
at the August term Of the venango county
court, quarter sessions Weldry was held
in the sum of $4,000; Shopert, for further
hearing, $40, 1000; Miller, $1,000, and Ger
ger, $1,000. AS the amount stolen approx
imates half million, and the evidence
against the prisoners is strong, the bail is
considered very light. This action is look

The Philadelphia Age publishes that
tone hundred German citizens of the upper
wards of that city, who have hitherto voted
the Radical ticket, have declared their in
tention to osupport Seymour and Blair. The
German citizens OF the Sixth Ward,
are also focking to the support af the
Democratic ticket, being unwilling to be-
long any longer to such corrupt, Radical
and revolutionary party as that now in
power. The Germans, not only in the
upper wards, but all over the city, are
coming into the Democratic ranks. We
take pleasure in stating, on the authority Of
DR.. Roth, one of the leading German citi-
zens of the Sixth Ward, and who is we'll
posted as to the German sentiment
throughout the city, that three.fourths of
the Germans will support Seymour and
Blair, and other Democratic nominees.

Does the LabOring Man bay amy Taxes :

While the producing industries of the
country are uniustly taxed, and the almost
intolerable burden Of the war rest upon those
who fought the battles and made the sacri-
fees, those who titled land to produce
supplies, and those who labored in the
workshops, the organs Of the Radicals are
asserting that the bondholders are the men
who pay all the revenues The organ of
the radicals in Lorain county, replying to
an article which recently appeared in the
Plaindealer, sneeringly says that ''not one
laboring man in every hundred pays penny
of taxes to the Government directly" True
the laboring man does not pay his taxes di-
rectly to the government, but every man Of
sense knows that the consumer pays the
tax upon every article manufactured by
capital. A practical working man, q few
days ago, being in our office, handed US the
following, which in itself is volume Of ar
gument to show that the poor man does pay
taxes:
Radical legislation requires the consumer
to pay all taxes. 1t taxes
The hat on your head.
The boots on your feet.
The clothes on your person.
The food you eat.
The tea and coffee you drink
The pot it is cooked in.
The cup you drink it out Of
The implements on your farm.
The tools you work with.
The paper you write on.
The pen and ink you use.
The papers and books you read.
The furniture in your house.
The gas and oil you burn.
The coal you consume
The stove you burn it in.
The match you light it with.
The medicine you take.
The tobacco you smoke.
The pipe you smoke 1t in.
The dishes on your table,
All you eat off them.
The laboring man of the country, who
owns little house and lot, which he has
earned by toiling from early morning to
night, pays State tax, county tax, school
tax, road tax, upon it; while his next door
neighbor who is bond-holder owning
$50 1000 in bonds, pays no taxes whatever,
draws interest in gold, laughs at his more
unfortunate neighbor, who has his money
in little home If the masses Of the
laboring men desire the equal taxation oi
every species of property according to its
real value-Governmont bonds and other
securities included, ifthey want one cur.
rency for the Governmentand the people,
the laborer and the omce.holder, the pen
sioner and the esoldier, the producer and the
bond-holder, they will not vote the
Radical ticket, but will vote for that Of the
Democracy.
