Of Seymour and Blair, and are at work
with great energy in killing, assassinating
and driving out every Union man in that
State. Ofcourse that will make Arkansas
a democratic State. A dispatch dated at
Little Rock, Aug 80, says:
There are not only rumors of war,
but there is actual war in reconstructed
Arkansas. Conway, Perry, and Column
bia counties are in open rebellion; the
civil authorities are defed, and are wholly
powerless. A Court was broken up in
Conway, and general onslaught was
made on Union men. Finally the Rebels
proposed to desist, if the Union men
would surrender their arms until after
the election. This was refused, and the
disarming commenced, which was resisted
by the Union men, and a fight ensued.
The Rebels had greatly the advantage
in numbers, and were being reinforced
from other counties, and the Union men
were falling back, but fighting consider
ably. Firing was heard at Lewisbure
all day Tuesday. A colored man an
nounced himself for Grant in Columbia
County, and was taken to the woods in
open day and literally shot to pieces by
about $50 white rebels. They returned,
Boosting of the act, and defed the civil
officers to arrest any one for killing a

other Union men have been compelled
to flee for their lives. Several colored

recover. The Rebel speakers and press
advise the murder of Union men, especi-
ally if they are from the north. About
half of the Rebels are as enthusiastic for
war as they were in 1861. They public
iy announce that the Northern Demo-
Gratis will help them this time and that
the war will principally be in the North.
Blair's letter has done much to produce
this condition of things, and the ignorant
creatures feel confident that the Demo.
Gratis will help them out, and that tbe
rebellion will yet succeed. Gov. CLAYTON
has published a proclamation WARNING
the Democracy to desist, and after he
has exhausted all peaceful means he will
suppress the rebellion at all hazards

GENERAL GRANT ON INCIPIENT RE-
RELATIONSHIP 1861, while General q. S.
Grant was returning from Covington,
KY, to Springfield, in obedience to dis
patch from Governor Yates rendering
HIM the command of the 21st regiment,
he with several newly appointed officers
OF Ohio and Indiana regiments, dined by
invitation with the late Hon. Daniel
Mace, of Lafayette, Ind, formerly a
member of Congress from that district.
Of course, the condition of the coun-
try and the probabilities of the war, lust
then begun, were the chief subjects of
conversation among these new soldiers of
the Union.
The danger of a negro instruction be-
ing under discussion, Colonel of an
Ohio regiment declared that, were he in
line OF battle about to engage the enemy,
and the slaves should revolt, he would
stop the fight long enough to Join the
Coniederates in suppressing the insurrec-
ton and reducing the slaves to obedience.
Grant, who sat by his side, until then a
quiet listener, turned to him and replied :
Z" Col. WI don't wish to interrunt
you, or hurt your feelings, but l must
tell you that man who can express such
a sentiment as that, is not far from being
a traitor, and an unsafe man TO lead onr
soldiers Col. W.-was deeply exas-

ThG Statc.

There is no drawback ON the result of
the election as stated by us last week.
The increase of the Union vote over last
year is about 5000, and the net gain over
last years majority is just about 1000.
The increase of the democratic vote is
not much above one thousand over what
they have cast on other occasions in this
State during the last ten years, ouly 700
above what they gave for Mcclellan, and
some $500 above last year, while the re
publican vote is the largest ever given at
a State election, being Al 900. In the
town Of Orwell were some 70 votes for
the Union State ticket with the Govern
or's name left off on account of personal
opposition to Gov. Page. These of course
should be added to the aggregate vote
and makes grand total in the State as
follows;
Total Union vote, 41.O5S
Total Democratic vote, 14,O23
Union majority in the State, 27,035
The official vote will not vary this
much either way.

Frank Blair is extreme in all things.
There was no more radical Democrat up
10 1857. There was no more radical
Abolitionist in 1859. There was no more
radical Republican in 1861; and there
was no more radical enemy of treason and
traitors in 1861. During the war, he
would have given the Rebels no quar-
ter" if he had not been restrained by the
rules of the service. He winked at pill
age and had the disposition and temper
of first-class GUNNER" At the close
of the war, he issued an order to his
soldiers, in which he encouraged them
to hope for the appropriation to their
use of the confscated lands of Rebels, by
reminding them that the Romans made
their conquering soldiers freeholders in
the lands they had conquered" and
wound up by predicting for them an ear
ly opportunity to resume service ii the
European despots continue to threaten
us by flank movement on Mexico"
The same radical spirit now finds OK
preston in his Brodhead letter, and in
his other extreme utterances looking to
a Civil War. He is dangerous man
out of office. As President of the United
States (Which might happen if elected to
the second office he would very speedily
embroil the country in both civil and
foreign war.-ABany Journal

1t is a very significant fact and should
have its influence with every loyal voter,
that the outrages ON southern men in the
South are perpetrated by bands of assas-
sins who favor the election of Seymour
and Blair. Does any patriotic democrat
wish to train in that company?

BEFORE ELECTION. Boston Post
the leading democratic paper of New
England, three days before the election
in this State, had the following:
While Democratic and Conserva-
tive triumph is not positively looked for.
the earnest activity of the great Consti-
tutional party within the State is expect
ed to result in such a large reduction of
the Radical strength as will encourage
still stronger hopes for the general election
IN that State in November. And the in
tiuence of that reduction, coming from
Vermont, will act electrically on the sub
sequent elections in the other States.
The result in Vermont will establish the
TACT of the tendency everywhere else.
Maine will heed the example, and hasten
to put it to good use. The response of
JOY would be immediate and general
echoing and re-echoing across the cont,
nent Vermont leads the way this Fall

EQUAL TAXATION. -" Every man
is oppressively taxed by the National
Government" Is this true? Whoever
has an income of 100 year is taxed
So. Where ones income is $1,000 or
less, he is not taxed farthing by the
General Government. Not one man in
a thousand now pays National tax.
The rich pay; but the poor and those in
moderate circumstances are exempt from
| this tax.
But how will it be if the democratic
idea of equal taxation of every species
of property is adopted? The rich CAPT
talist would pay no greater proportion of
the tax on his $4,000 income, or ON his
gold and silver plate, or on his carriages
and diamonds, than the farmer would on
his farm stock and implements. The tax
OF the moneyed man would be greatly
reduced and the tax of the farmer would
be fully quadrupled,
But the phrase equal taxation"
sounds pretty, and is very Turing bait
with which to catch gudgeons. Let those
who have not yet seen the unwelcome
face of a gatherer of the National tax,
think over this equal tax" idea, and
see where it will drag them.

same time | was Governor. Mr.. Lincoln
called for volunteers. l sent him only
thirty thousand, while Seymour sent fif-
teen thousand. The President went round
complimenting Seymour, and saying
nothing about what | had done. | took
Mr.. Lincoln to task for this. / said,
How is it you are complimenting Sey-
mour for his fifteen thousand men, and
neglecting to compliment Morton and
me? His answer was perfectly satisfac-
tory. He said, why, Todd, 1 never
thanked Mrs Lincoln for cup of tea in
my life Laughter and applause. |
The truth was, Morton and had done
nothing more than what was expected of
us, while Seymour had. He had never
done the like before, and never did after
ward. 1t was not necessary to keep a
Major General in Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio, to correspond with the President.
as it was in New York. In those States
the Governors acted as the Presidents
correspondents and agents. You will re-
member that remarkable despatch of
Gen. Dix to Seymour saying: 81 beg to
let you know that / have troops enough

IN this contest | only came to show my
solicitude for the success of the good
