TAXATION.

racy, poor men are not taxed to feed
the Shylocks who are running q the
government at Washington. They feel
equally confident that the wealthy bond.
holder, and the banker pay all the reve-
nuas. Acting upon this theory, they
launt the b~ondholder's banner in the p
face of the laboring millions, and de-
fy their cries of distress, and spit up
on their demands for equal taxation
all the ingenuity that a corrupt and
tyranical Congress could bring to bear
ION the question, has been thrown in
avoro of the monicd masses against the
ia aground millions, who are compel
ed to endure the outrage, that starva-
tion may be kept from their doors
rhebondholder is exem pt from taxation
on his bonds. The law is so framed
that those having incomes to tax es-
cape with comparatively light burthens
while the consumer is compelled to
pay the weight of taxation. Ho il
this /? Examine the following and
see -
"Radical Legislation requires the con-
sumner to pay it.. 1t taxes
The hat on your head. s.,t
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 paper and books you read.
The furniture in your house
The gas or 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.
l. The pipe you smoke it in. g
The dishes on your table.
All you eat off them"
To this you might add. The bed
on which you sleep-the clothes in
which. you are to be buried-the nails
of your ccfiu-the man who makes it,
as we'll as the grave in which your
wearied and overtaxed body is to re-
pose after death and they would 70
low your soul into the next world, if
they had the power, with Tax-Tax-
Revenue-Revenus.
How long is this to be? If the
masses of laboring men desire it to be
continued, the shortest road is to vote
the republican ticket right or wrong.
IF the people desire a change. they
will see the Importance of voting with
the party that advocates aud intends to
br' Dg about equal taxation. If the de.
mocracy succeed, the b%ondholder will
either take g~reenbacks for his bonds, or
be compelled to put them on the dupi-
cate for taxation as other property

The Sugar Crop i'm Louisiana.

The New Orleans Crescent, Of the
Gath, has the following information in
relation to the sugar crop. 1t says:
"The very mild weather of the pres
!ent month has not ripened the cane so.
much as is desirable, and several plant
ers, we learn, have ceased, or are about
to cease, grinding, until the weather
becomes colder. tits thought, if there
is not frost coon, that the cane will go
to seed in some parts of the State, a
very rare occurrence indeed"

Johnson is the Man.

The New York Herald referring to the extra
ordinary usurpation Of the Radical Congress,
says
"This Southern negro political balance Of
power in the Presidential contest is clearly the
present object of this revolutionary Congress.
In this design the radical fanatics have gone
too far to recede The game is desperate, but
there is no alternative; and as desperate cases
require desperate remedies, we may be prepared
for anything from these radicals resolved upon
the perpctuatiou Of their power. Where, then,
lies the remedy? In tie hands of the people
Of the Northern States, to be applied in the
coming Presidential election We hold, too,
that the man who, single handed, has so far
resisted and delayed the usurpations of this
radical Congress, and who is the only obstacle
to the speedy contamination Of its revolution
airy designs. is the man upon whom all the OPP
position clements may be most readily and
most largely combined. Andrew johnson Is
this man. He is in position which demands
the instant and most effective support of all
men who desire to maintain the government Of
the constitution. The most effective support
that can be given him is the adoption of his
name for the Presidential succession by all the
political elements of the country opposed to
this revolutionary Congress aud the revolution
airy radical faction which stands behind it
Men are nothing in this crisis of life or death
10 the republic; but the man who stands in the
gap, and who holds the opposition balance of
power against these radicals, is everything"
We add the good old Revolutionary name Of
Hancock for Vice-President.

Fnrther Notes of Alarm.


The most discreet of the Radical editors are
becoming seriously alarmed at the rapid strides
of the leaders towards consolidation Of the
government, by the subversion of the Judicial
~ and Executive Departments, and the crea-
ton Of Dictatorship in the South under Gen.
Grant The New York Evening Post is one
of these, and it says of the new reconstruc-
ton bill now pending:
Jealous, unhesitating, reckless partisans
support the new bill as they would support
anything that their party might proclaim, but
we have yet to hear the approval OF 1t by
single moderate person, republican or demo
crat. They say the attempt to strip the Presi-
dent of powers vested in him by the con-
stitution, and confer them upon another ohcer,
is clearly revolutionary Even if 1t were not,
il is novel and dangerous, and should only De
done with the greatest caution and dehbera-
ton. No emergency exists to compel or justi-
fy it.
1t is useless for General Garfield to ar
que that the President is the subordinate OF
Congress" He is not he is the coordinate of
Congress the integrity OF his function is Just
as necessary as that Of Congress, and to destroy
this relation of equilibrium is to destroy the
peculiar feature of our policy which has given
it strength and success. The vast majority OF
the people have been taught for half a century
to look upon this division of powers as we state
them, and il would take them long while to
unlearn doctrine which they identify with
the stability of the nation. 1t is older than
the republican supremacy, and will outlast ii
if the opposite doctrine be insisted on
The Cincinnati Commercial rep depicts
truthfully the perilous course ofthe majority in
Congress, and it warns them that there will be
three votes lost at the North for one gained al
the South by the process of forcing reconstruc-
ton in the manner proposed. 1t opposes the
project of bringing the Southern States into
the Presidential election in the manner propos
ed and says a disputed Presidential succession
would bring on, not sectional war, but civil
war, and we should be Mexicanized.

Drowned.

Mr.. Geo. Rockefeller, who had lived near
Evers' School house, about miles from Port
Republic, in the southeastern part of Rocking
ham County, was drowned at the point of
what is known as "Strayer's Island" in the
Shenandoah river, on Thursday evening last,
shortly after dark. He had been employed
for some time and had been working very reg
uarly as a boatman, under Captain Zachariah
Raynes On Thursday afternoon, it seems,
Captain Raynes was preparing to carry feet
of boats, loaded with iron, down the river
He had taken all his boats, except one, to
Lewis's dam, and had gone back for this one,
taking with him Jacob Hudlowe and the I'M
fortunate Mr.. Rockefeller They started with
the boat, at the point in question, they struck
a stump or some other obstruction in the river,
by which means the boat was almost instantly
sunk carrying down with it and drowning
Mr. Rockefeller, MesSrs. lludlowe and Raynes
saving themselves by swimming.
1t is said that Mr. Hudlowe owes the pres
ervation of life to the exertions Of the gallant
commodore Raynes, who periled his own life
in saving Mr.. Hudlowes.
Mr. Rockefeller was young man, married, and
leaves 4 wife and three small children, one Of
them an infant at the mothers breast.
The body of the unfortunate man had not
been recovered up to Sunday morning last, al
though dligent and repeated efforts were made
to obtain it, the supposition being that it sunk
under the heavily loaGel boat,-Rockingham

The Military Despotism.


The House Of Representatives has passed, by
the usual party majority, the bin to give Gen.
Grant supreme control over the ten Southern
States. to enforce the enactments Of the mon
grels who are now going through the mOckery
Of framing State governments. The act Of
Gen. Hancock, in asserting and maintaining
the supremacy Of the civil over the military
power in the South, has stirred up the reyOlu-
tionists Of the body, and the bill just passed is
the last invented monStrosity.
It provides a penalty Of fine and imprison-
ment upon any person, President as well as
others, who shall obstruct the operation OF the
proposed law, and Gen. Butler points with ex-
ultauon to tbefact that the President had aP-
proved. in March 1867, a provision tackled on
70 an appropriation bin, declaring that the
General Of the Army shall not be removed,
suspended. relieved from command, or sent to
duty elsewhere except at his own request, with
out the approval Of the Senate And, aecor-
dinghy Butler coutended, Congress would put
all the matter Of reconstruction in the hands Of
the General Of the Army.
Perhaps it is better that the Rump Congress
should rush 20 the utmost extremes. It is an
old and true saying that when things get to
their worst they must mend The next year S
elections viii right the wrong unless the true
spirit Of the country is dead, and reason has

to Dec. Slst, or less than four months, the OF.
flee had transmitted orders to the amount OF
81. 1875 SO, small sums, to various points in the
United States. The Winchester office in the
same time has paid orders to the amount OF
$3.50 81. This makes the whole business of
the office in this department amount to S6,026
Ia pretty good business for the short time
it has been in operation Winchester Journal.
Our Charlestown Postoffice is also beginning
to prove the usefulness of the Money Order
system. As our business intercourse with the
principal cities Of the East will be renewed and
enlarged after another harvest, we may expect
our amiable Postmistress to be very active
medium in pleasant and profitable exchanges
between debtor and creditor.
