TAXESLAMD NO TAXES.

The Republican Congress, by the act of
July last, removed all the direct taxes provi-
ously levied on Manufactured goods, except
some two or three articles, among which are
tobacco aud spirits. The taxes left are alto
gether upon luxuries, and in no case upon
the necessities of life. The allegation, made
In some ofthe charactcrless papers, that "the
hat on your head, the coat on your back,
the boots on your feet, &c., &C., is taxed"
are simply false, as any one may learn by
examining the laws. On par with these
reckless statements is the following, which
we clip from one of The Democratic papers
In this city, in which it is probably not orig
inal, though it appears editorially. 1t
says:-
Who PAYS THE TAXES ?-The men who
create the wealth pay the taxes, every dollar
of them, although the workman may not
own dollar In taxable property. Every
laboring man is compelled to buy property
that is taxed, and in every purchase he
makes he pays the taxes, in addition to the
price of the article. How much taxes he is
thus made to pay, every laboring man may
see in the sllbiOined table.

THERE are encouraging signs of life in AL
ALBANIA, and the Republican cause there be-
gins to show as brightly as in the north. A
gentleman In Morgan county writes to the
Montgomery State Journal that:-
North Alabama is getting straight. Plenty
OF men that, two weeks ago, were afraid to
open their mouths, are now wildly cheering
for Grant and Colfax. The tide is changing.
We will get nearly every white man in
Walker, Winston, and DeKalb, and ma
jority In Morgan, Marshal and Blount.
Words fall TO express the changes that are
going on. Seymour Is gone beyond hope.
An ex-Confederate officer, who served
during the entire war, writes to the Hunts.
vile Advocate as follows:
l consider Grants election certain. an
willing to attend every appointment fol
speaking am able to. Tell my old politica
friends that ! am ready TO die in the "las

Howell Cobb.

The Telegraph briefly states that Howell
Cobb of Georgia at half past 10 o'clock yes
terlay morning dropped dead in the corri-
dor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York.
Mr.. Cobb was born at Cherry Hill, Jefter-
son county Georgia on the 7th of September
1915 and had therefore just completed his
fifty-third year. He graduated at Franklin
College, Athens Ga, in 1884 and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1896
The first office held by him was that of
Solicitor General of the Western Circuit of
Georgia, TO which position he was elected
by the Legislature in 1887. He held the
office for three years, and during that period
laid the foundations OF an extensive and
lucrative practice. In 1S43 commenced his
long and stormy Congressional career. lie
was elected member of the House OF KEEP
rescntatlves four times in succession, serving
from 1913 to lS5i, holding the position Of
! Speaker during his last term, that OF thu
Thirty-first Congress. During the whole O
this period he was one of the boldest ant
most efficient leaders of the extreme South
ern party.
All the expiration of his Congressional tern
he was elected Governor of the State by al
overwhelming vote. His term as Governor
was for two years, and at its expiration nj
resumed the practice of the law until 6b5
when he was again elected member of Con
gress. Iu the campaign of 1856 he stumpet
several of the Northern States for Buchanan
and was rewarded with the position OF Sec
rotary of the Treasury in the alter's Cabinet
Since that period lie has figured so promi
nenily as leader of the great pro-slaverI
Democratic rebellion, as a member OF the so
called Confederate Congress, and Brigade
general In the Rebel army, that his record j
yet fresh in the minds of the people. AT TIL
close of the war, like many of his kindre'
spirits in rebellion, he failed to accept the sit
uation and actively and openly resumed hi
secretly maintained connection with tina
wing Of his party which failed to take tn

MAJOR BIaas, the Democratic candidate
for Congress, declared in his speech in front
of the P. o. few nights ago, that Congress
taxes the country annually $4,000, 600 to
support the Freedmen's Bureau, or in other
words to ''keep The negroes in idlcness." !"
The truth is that from, the organization Of
the Bureau to the present time its total
erpenses have been only 81, ,935, 1888.
A considerable portion of this amount was
expended in the relief of suffering whites
whom the war left destitute. 1t were better
for the Major to remain silent than TO make
statements that arc not true.

The unlo,, Pacific.

We are reminded anew of the extent and
progress of the Union Pacific Railroad by
the receipt ofa copy Of pamphlet just is
sued by the Company, containing the Treas
urer's report for the year ending June 30,
1868, and many other matters ofinterest con-
nected with this great enterprise. The Treas
urer's report, by the way, shows that the
earnings for the year reached the enormous
aggregate of $4, ,264, ,Oi0,73, while the expen-
ses were but 81, 1884, 1914, leaving a net bal
auce OF 81, ,5Gl, ,2s3,50, upon an average dis
tance of 472 miles. These figures must be en-
tirely satisfactory to the holders oftha Com
pany's Bonds, the net earnings being very
largely In excess of the interest upon those
liabilities.
The Companys pamphlet is the handsom-
est business document we have seen issued
by any corporation. An accurate map of the
Union Pacific and its relation to all parts OF
the country, fully enables oxe to see its i'm
portance as a national work. The 'iChnrac-
ter of the work" is an important chapter, an
swering in detail, by the testimony of many
intelligent examiners, the question sis the
road well built?" All this evidence-quota
tions being given from more than score o
writers-goes to show the road to be thor
oughly built and well managed. A chapter
upon ''The Saving and Profit to the Govern
ment," gives facts and figures from ofiicia
sources at Washington, showing that th'
Government saved almost two million dol
! lars in the year 1867, by having its freigh
upon this route transported by this railroad
rather than by wagons, as formerly.
The Treasurer's report follows, to whic
Q we have alluded, and the pamphlet close
a with remarks upon the value of the Com
u pany's Bonds, which are First Mortgdg
II upon the entire line and so amply secure
that, paying as they do six per cent. gol
y interest, they must be classed among th
= safest and most profitable securities. Til
g intimation is given. in the Company's adve

Especial Despatch to the Press.l
HARTFORD, Ct, Oct. 9.-The returns from
the town elections in this State are now all
in. They show large Republican gains.
Ninety-three towns from which majorities
are reported give a majority of nearly twelve
hundred on the popular vote in favor of the
Republicans. Tie aggregate Democratic
majority is 3,SsS; Republican, 5,052. In
these towns are included all the cities and
places where the Democrats received their
largest majorities.
Full returns from all the towns will in
crease the Republican majority to nearly fl
teen hundred, making allowence for the fact
s,rongholds was light, and that the Demo
Gratis made an unusual effort.
A full vote would show greater change
in public sentilseat than appears by the
figures given The prospect is that Gran

SOUTHERN PAPERS have unique ways of
putting things. For instance, the Norfolk
Journal, wishing to inform its readers that
two members of the bar had searched some
records for evidence relating to client of
theirs not yet found guilty does it in the fol-
lowing language:-

of the innocence of the brute Perkins. They

sci and such an attack Us the above only
shows the depth of the degradation of the

AT the recent session ofthe Illinois Con-
ference, the venerable Peter Cartwright, af-
ter representining his district pheasant
Plains) as in prosperous state, said he came
to Conference with the determination to ask
that his relation be changed. He said he
knew he was in the neghborhood Of his
second childhood, and he thought there
might be men who were more active and
useful but he was willing to do what he
could yet. He had been foriy-nine years in
the presiding eldership, but did not wish to
be wet log in the Conference, and would
prefer to retire to being burden upon any
one. His children had all married and left
him, and he had raised a fine set of grand.
children, who had also left him, and he and
bis wife were like two old rats in barn.
He wanted to live and die in the harness. :
After some conversation, the Rev, J.. l..
Crane made complimentary speech, referr-
ing to the doctors age, services, and popu-
larity, in conclusion offered the following
resolution:
Whereas. Rev. F. Cartwright, ID. D., i
he should live, will have been, at the end o.
next year, presiding elder for fifty years
and as he is the only man who has ever oc
cupied that position for so great a length O
