THE Albany Argus tells how q radical
procession was made up in that city: SAN
through the line on Thursday night small
boys were sandwiched among men. One
of these boys was unfortunate enough to be
discovered by his mother, who unceremon-
iously hauled him from the procession, and
soundly thrashed him in the presence of q
crowd of witnesses. Both men and boys
were hired to carry torches, at prices vary
ing from so cents to $4 eachl We. know
this to be the fact, not merely from general
report, but from the fact that several news
boys and paper folders belonging to this
office were paid for their services. An
amusing instance ofthe fact is vouched for
by republican who witnessed it, and who
is too fond Of joke to keep it. He was
standing on the American hotel steps, while
the procession passed that point, convers-
ing;with another republican, when one of the
torch-bearers stepped out from the pro-
cession and extinguished his light. Upon
being demonstrated with by one of these re-
publicans, the delinquent justified his pro-
ceedings by remarking that "he thought
he hadwalked far enough for ten shillings p

HORRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN TENNEs-
SEE. The New York Tribune publishes the
following statement:
Lieut. Brown, ofthe Freedman's Bureau,
has made report showing that during the
year ending on the lst of July last; the civil
authorities took action on 1872 murders, and
that before the 25th of August the number
had been increased to 179. In 76 of these
cases the civil authorities did not attempt
to bring the perpetrators to punishment.
Eleven out of the 179 murders are shown to
have been committed by blacks, leaving 16S
that were committed by whites upon whites
and blacks. Seventy three of the persons
murdered are shown to have been whites,
and LOG to have been blacks.
This horrible state of ofaffairs, if it exists
can be attributed to but one cause.-the
radical Brownlow policy of governing Ten
nessee. It is the fruit of disfanchisment,
confscation, outlawry and the rule, of q
negro militia, If this is the fruit of Brown.
lowism, as the Tribune describes it, sensi.
BILE men ought to be of the opinion that the
sooner it is abolished the better it is for the
aflictedpeople. Democratic rule in Ten.
nessee would soon mend this bloody con.
dition Of things.

Some Encis Ahnnt Tanners.

Their torches are lighted with matches
taxed more than five times the amount of
their first cost.
Their candles are taxed fifty per cent of
their original cost.
The starch to stifen their shirt collars
is taxed fifty per cent, on its original cost
The coal to keep them warm is taxed from
40 cts, to 1,25 per ton in gold
Their hats and caps are taxed from 40 to
80 per cent. Of their cost, in gold.
The shirts on their backs are taxed from
one.quarter to one-nalf of their cost.
The buttons on their coats, the boots on
their feet, their capes, cravats, pocket
knives, pencils every article on them or
used by them, and nearly all articles eaten
or drank by them are taxed, and taxed wan
tonly and uselessly, either to support radi-
cal misgovernment or to enrich eastern
capitalists at the expense of the property
and labor of the west
If tanner lives on a salary from one
third to one half of that salary in consumed
by taxes levied on his clothing and his
food.
If q tanner is workingman, he realizes
less than two thirds the profit from his
earnings he would were it not for the taxes
levied on him by the party he toots for.
If a tanner is merchant, lie is taxed on
his sales, on his goods his rent, and on his
income, to support military reconstruction
and the freedman's bureau, and on every
dollar of eastern bank currency used in his
business.
Though tanner be poor, he is taxed as
much of his personal property for the sup
port of the federal, state and city govern
ment as his neighbor is on million dollars
invested in federal bonds.
A tanner is q taxpayer who works gratis
for the benefit of tax-eaters.
Wendell Phillips says the earnings of the
working people and business men of this
country are mortgaged for a generation
that the negroes may become the equals of
white Tanners.
Somebody pays the government five hun
dred millions per annum to run the gov
ernment. Bondholders don't pay it.
Eastern manufacturers are exempt by act
of congress. Who pays it if not just such
men as are invited to join the tanners

who Created the Debt.

Nearly the entire amount Of the present
vast debt represents the stealings and prof
legacy Of the party in power. All over the
country can be found persons poor before
the war, but who suddenly became rich by
stealing outright or through the agency Of
fat contracts with the Government. Who
are the men that robbed the public treas
ury when the 'life of the nation" hung in
the balances? We call on the stand of Re-
publican witnesses TO answer. In 1862,
Henry l.. Dave a radical member of Con-
gress from Massachusetts said:
"The gentleman must remember that in
the first year of ofRepublican administration,
which come into power upon professions of
retrenchment and reform, there is indubi-
table evidence evidence that cannot be
doubted) abroad in the land they have
phndered thepubHc treasury well nigh in that
yearly expenses of the Government, during
the preceding administration.
John P. Hale, Radical Senator from
New Hamshire, and subsequently Minister
to Spain, in April, 1862, made the following
declaration from his seat in the Senate:
II tell you, sir, believe, and 1 declare
1t upon my responsibility as Senator of
the United States, that the liberties of The
country are IN greater danger to-day from the
oOrruptionS and from the prOtigdcy practised
in the various departments of Government
than they are from the open enemy in the
field"
Don Piatt, one of the emost prominent
Radicals in Ohio, editor oil the Mack a.
Cheek Press, in his paper Of June !, 1867,
gave his testimony as follows
"From the hour of his (Lincoln's) first
Inauguration up to that of his death, the
thieves all in office. 1t was impossi-
lealmost to lay hands on an official and
not touch a man made rich by his position,
This was especially the case with the mon
eyed Offices. Honest men stood aghast at
the impunity with which the impunity went
on All cries of shame seemed unavailing
Allopposition was thrown away Thieves
were turned out to be succeeded by thieves,
and colossal fortunes were made in an
hour. The amiable old President cracked
jokes over the rascality, and said that in
his appointments he had to run his hand
into a sack of fifty snakes to find one eel
These gentleman are all Radical witness
es and their testimony goes to show how
the money of the Government was stolen
to line the pockets of the scalawags who,
like vultures, fattened upon the miseries of
the country This class of men are the
most anxious for the success of the radical
party, that they may continue their whole
sale plunder of the public treasury.

When it becomes necessary for the
Radicals TO carry an election by the aid OF

easy to explain where the two hundred and

John A. Dix, who has been everything
politically; who went from Free Soilism
to JEFF Davis Breckenridge Democracy to
get and keep the New York Post Office; and
from the position of Breckenridge leader in
this State over to Radicalism when the war
broke out, to get military office; and who
was never consistent in anything except his
steady pursuits Of official positions-is out
in a letter revealing anew his envy
and hatred of Gov. Seymour. This man,
who is ever seeking Office, hates most
heartily the nobler citizen whose refusal OF
reluctant acceptance Of official honors was
always reproach to the noisy and often
disappointed claimant ofplace.
