A SCENE IN A TAX OFFICE.
Conversation Between Mr.. jay Cooke,
Mr.. Bellows and the tax Collector.

Tax Collector-Now,M Mr.. Jay Cooke,
we are ready for you sir. Your "mon-
eys and credits" show $I2O, 200; your
household furniture, Office fixtures,
horse and and buggy, and some other
little things, foot as $3.50 more. To-
tai $l23, ,574. Deduct $I20, 900 held in
20 Government bonds, which are

this last amount is $7I 80.
Now, Mr.. Bellows, 1 have your re-
ceipt ready. "Your Moneys and
credits" show $3.50; shop fixtures and
touls, 81 ,S75; household furniture,
$3.50, horse and wagon $275. Total

BellOws-HOw Is this ? Jay Cookies
personal property amounts to $l23,-
575, and he pays only 81, 80 State and
county tax, while l, with less than
$1,000, all told, am asked, to pay
So, 80 more than he.
Jay Cooke-Ah, my good friend,
you see my SI20, 900 in bonds are not
taxable. In the country's extremity.

the rescue with my greenbacks. 1

JAY COOkC-But you see, hir Bel

could not have been compelled to fur

is true, but you could have been COM
PEELED to 60.
Bellows-Yes, sir. / did volunteer
when my services were needed, but
your voluntary act was after the act
was done-when you felt sure your
investment was safe. The policy that
eXempts your hundreds of thousands
from taxation. and taxes my few
hundreds is founded on villainy, sir.
You loaned your greenbacks, worth

Grant and the Mule.

Grants first appearance in public
was at the circus, and the remarkable
equestrian skill displayed on that
memorable occasion is eagerly para
ded by the Jacobins as evidence of his
ability to ride and successfully man
age the Radical Woolly-horse.
The following extract from the Life
of Hiram Ulysses, written by his pa
ternal ancestor, who rcjoices in the
name of Jesse r., explains his pecu-
liar fitness for President OF the United
States:
when Ulysses was a boy, if cir
rus or any show came along, in which
there was a call for somebody to come
forward and ride n pony,
Ulysses stepped forward and mounted
the pony. The performance began.
Round and round the ring went the
pony, faster, making the greatest eff
fort to dismount the rider. But UIv-
SEES sat as steady as if he had grown to
the pony's back. Presently out came
large monkey, and sprang up be-
hind Ulysses"
Our Radical neighbors persistently
refusing to come ur to the demands of
the times in advocacy Of the claims of
Hiram Ulysses to the Presidency, we
are led, out of regard for our many
Republican readers, to publish the
good and sufficient reasons they have
for voting for the aforesaid Hiram
for President of the United States.
First we will introduce

THE genus carpet bagger is a man
with faded head of dry hair, with n
lank stomach and long paws, club
knees and spray feet, bow-!egs and
lantern jaws, with eyes like . fish and
mouth like a SHARK.
Add to this habit of smoking and
dodginG about in unknown places,
eohablting with negroes in dark dens
and back streets, with a look like a
hound and a smell like pole. cat, and
you have a general description of him.
When in Congress, he generally
pulls of pair of seedy boots, reveal
ing a corresponding pair of dirty feet
and inquiries if the Congressional
Menagerie will have his boots half
soled.
Such is the modern carpet bagg er.

BEFORE the Democrats brought on
the late terrible civil war, barrel of
-four could be purchased tor five dol.
lars, now you have to pay ten dollars,
and so in regard to all the necessarles
of life. Elect Seymour and Blair, and
bring on another revolution, as prom
ised by Blair, and what is to become
of the country? Let thoughtful men
ponder.-Pitts6tug Commercial.
So long as the Democrats were in
power there was no civil war. 1t was
only when the disunion abolition
radical party got into power that war
came. Had there been no abolition
party there would have been no Sc
cession nor war.
1t is now going on four years since
the war closed, and what has this
party done to get matters back into
their proper channel?

DESERVING Radicalsm and Joining the
Democracy.

Capt. VIM. w. Gray, of Titusville,
Pa, long one OF the most efficient
republican workers in that place, has
dissolved his connection with the
Radical party, and taken his place in
the ranks of the Democracy. He
made a speech before the Titusville
club, not long since, which is repre-
sented to have been one of the most
telling Of the campaign.
Mr., Andrew Weyant was nomina-
ted by the Republicans OF Licking
county as their candidate for Com
missioner. In a letter tn the -1nleri-
can, the radical organ, he declined
the nomination and announces his
intention to vote for SEYMOUR and
BLAIR. Mr.. Weyant believes with
Chief Justice Chase that "the time
has come when all honest men sho'd
band together against the revolution
airy JacObins." Hundreds of Repub-
licans in Ohio are deserting the Rad
icals, and will vote for SEYMOUR this
year. They want changey

Ohio's Alabama Senator.

We have been asked whether we
were rot wrong last week, in stating
the time at which General Willard
Warmers term of service as Senator
from this district, expired. Our state
ment was strictly correct. Had an
extra session of the Ohio Legislature
been held as late as the first SATURDAY.
IN January of the present year, this
district would have been represented
by General Warner, or gone unrepre-
sented. He did not resign his seat,
but carefully retained the certificate
of election that entitled him to act as
Senator for the two years ending, on
the first Monday in January, 1868,
These are the facts of the case, with.

The Democrats to carry the Country.

The South seems likely to go with
a rush for Seymour. and the reason is
that the Republican policy has been
made go clear by Congress and the
reconstructors that it is impossible to
disguise it, especially in that most
offensive point, negro suffrage. On
the other hand there is eveI ything to
hope from the Democrats, and the
Southern people readily believe that
they will have the sympathy of the
leaders of that party. In all the
what we have just seen in Kentucky,
and as the Democrats will surely di-
vide the North, there is the highest
probability that a sweeping success
In the South will give them the coun-

Oh! for a good scare; one that would
