The Taxation Question.

The Radicals have been making
great blow throughout this State over
the fact that the Legislature has re-
duced the rate of State taxation from
thirty to twenty cents on the hundred
dollars worth of real estate. They omit
to mention that the cohtrivance called
the Board of Equalization has increased
the radiation Of real estate so that at a
less rate on increased values they are
collecting in many counties more taxa
tioI than ever before.
Here in Ohio county, through cum
ming legislation and the operations OF
the Radical Board of Equalization. the
value of real property in Ohio county
has been put up to one hundred per
cent. more than it was some years ago.
Doubling the valuation and decreasing
the rate one-third cOmpels the people
of Ohio county to pay jast Cos per
cent. more State taxes than formerly.
And yet, after their OVID Legisla-
ture and Board have brought about
this injustice, many are boasting
of the decrease in the rate of
taxation, as a sample of Radi-
cal economy, while others, bolder,
but sillier, are charging the high taxa
ton, for which Radical Board and a
Radical Legislature are responsible,
upon the local authorities of Ohio coun-
ty. They not only deny the swindle
for which they are responsible but they
attempt to shift the responsibility up
on parties who have positively had not
the slightest agency in the matter. For
cool effrontery and prodigious lying

Radical party in West Virginia,

Shocking Theasricnls.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes:
"The following piece Ofau2acity is re-
ported from Florence If the represent
alton at the Arena Nazionale on Satur-
day evening might be taken to indicate
the tendencies of the present Italian
drama, it would be simply retracing its
steps to those medieval religious mys-
teries in which we are compelled to
seek the beginning of the modern
European stage. There was given on
that night new play entitled The
Messiah" ," in which, as might be inferred
from the title, Jesus Christ played the
principal part. The expectation of so
unusual dramatic novelty had crowd
ed the arena in every corner, but the
audacity of the dramatist was net
crowned by corresponding success
the production, which should have ex-
tended over four acts being brought sud-
denly to a close amid storm of Kisses
and hootings in the middle of the third
act. The play opened with dialogue
between Pontius PLATE and Mary Mag
dalene, who arc supping tete-a-tete, but
whose conversation is interrupted by
the entrance of one of the Scribes or
Pharisees, who denounces to the Roman
Governor the revolutionary agitator,
Christ, by whose presence Jerusalem is
at that moment disturbed. Much to the
surprise of Pontius PLATE, the defence
of the accused Galilean is warmly taken
up by Mary Magdalene. The second
act seems to have been a succession of
utterly fustian rants on the rights of
man, liberty, equality, fraternity, &c,
placed by the author in the mouth of
Christ, and designed apparently to con-
vey to the audience of the arena the
last and most approved democratic the
cries on the scheme of the Christian
gospel. Two acts of this frightful far
rago were as much as even the ground
lings of the arena could stomach, so the
third was made short work Of"

HEAVY failures are reported in the
West, especially among dealers in grain,
and it is feared that other branches OF
business and trade are in like totter-
ing and uncertain condition. Money
was never harder to get, or debts more
difficult to collect. Should the Radical
party again get control of the Govern
ment, and carry out its financial policy
of spending $500, 900, 900 year to keep
down the productive energies of one
third of the country, while increasing
the debt and keeping up the taxes, the
difficulty will be vastly greater before
the coming winter is over. If a mer-
chant or manufacturer acts upon sys-
TEN which increases his expenses and
curtails his receipts, bankruptcy is the
inevitable consequence. If a nation
acts in like manner, why will not
similar consequences followi These
are practical questions connected with
the present Political campaign which
the business men of the nation should
answer.

When the intrepid Paul Jones was in

booming into his vessel, and threatened
destruction and disaster to his crew.
His adversaries chuckled with their
temporary advantage, and insolently
demanded a surrender. Surrender"

He continued the fight, pouring broad
sides into the enemy's ship until her
entire crew were killed or driven from
the deck, and their ship hoated upon

The Grent solar Eclipse

In England they are now beginning
to receive some details of the result OF
the observations of English astron-
omers sent out to two localities to
watch the progress of the eclipse of the
sun. which took place the 18th of Au-
gust. Major Tenant from one party,
and Lieutenant Herschel from the 9TH
er. have sent to the Astronomer Royal
and to the Royal Astronomical Society,
an account of the photographed and
spectroscopic work performed by the
two principal English observing par
ties.
Without going into particulars which
would involve the use of technicalitIes
which would not be generally irtelligi-
BILE, we ascertain from these observa-
tions, among other things, that Major
Tenant deduced from certain spectre
scopic experiments, that there was proof
that the solar protuberances consist of
burning hydrogen and sodium. AS So
dunn seems to be an important constlt-
uent of many meteoric bodies, the ap-
pearance of sodium in the solar protub-
erances seems confirmation, to certain
extent, of the theory, which has lately
been held by many students of solar
physics, that the suns heat is derived
from the continual impact of meteoric
bedies upon its surface. Lieutenant
Herschel, writing in 1866, on the pc
culiar condition of the August meteors,
said
"The spectral examination Of the Au-
gust meteors has most certainly brought
to light the existence of an extraordi'
nary quantity of the vspor of sodium
in the luminous streaks; so that many
of the streaks, and especially the most
conspicuous and the most slowly fading
among them, consist of nothing else
but soda flames for great proportion
(that is to say the latter portion) of the
time that they continue visible. Their
condition then is exactly that of flame
of gas in q Bunsen's burner, freely
charged with the vapor of burning So
dium; or, of the flame of spirit lamp
newly trimmed and largely dosed with
a supply of moistened salt"
Major Tenant draws from his obser'
vations the conclusion that the atmos'
phere of the sun consists mainly of non
luminous or family luminous gas at a
short distance from the body of the sun

A Sweet SVildlG! !
The Bogus Ticket Business
FAV0RITE RADICAL GAME
Duval and Caldwell as Dem
ocratic Candidates.
SPECIMEN INTEGRITY.
Strategy of "Pure-N1inded
Gentlemen

We have before US the evidence OF
bare-faced fraud attempted to be per-
petrated on the Democratic voters OF
Brooke and Ohio counties. There are
now in circulation in these counties
bogus tickets, purporting to be Demo
cratic, bearing the names of DUVAL
and CALDWELL as candidates for the
positions, respectively, of Congress
man and Judge, the remainder of
the names being those of the
regular Democratic nominees. The OBJ
ject of course is to dclude Deme-
cratic voters into voting for Radical
candidates under the belief that they
are supporting the Democratic nomi-
nees. Some of these swindling tickets
have been traced to the town Of Wells
barg, the place of their origin. Others
doubtless were gotten up much nearer
home.
We make this mention in order to
warn our Democratic voters against
an infamous fraud. 1t is Of a piece
with Radical strategy at elections and
shows to what straits the men who
claim all the decency, integrity and
gentility in the country are driven to
avoid the defeat that awaits them in
this State. The same reasons that have
caused this paper heretofore to avoid
all unfavorable reference to General
l. H. DUvAL now induce the hope that
this unmitisated swindle has been put
forth, if not without his knowledge, at
least without his connivance. We
should be slow to believe that gentle
man for whose integrity and honor so
much has been claimed by his party
press would sanction a scheme so in
consistent with those traits of charac-
ter, and earnestly hope that he has
taken steps to disavow all responsibility
in this matter.

The Carpet-Bag Governor OF Vir
ufnin-

Governor Wells, of Virginia, arrived
last evening on business relating to his
State. He says that civil affairs In Nlr-
ginia were in very good condition
until recently, when the rebel publica-
tions conceived the notion that they
should vote at the coming Presidential
election, Notwithstanding the State has
not been reconstructed. Made bold by
the Northern copperhead press, these
men talk of placing Seymour and
Blair electoral ticket in the field, to be
voted for in November next. In fact,
in the XVIIth Congressional District of
the State a DR.. Hill has already been
nominated an elector. The Governor
at one time thought that this might
tend to disturb the peace, but since the
elections of last Tuesday he has dis
missed all such fears. He says that the
October elections have utterly demoral-
lied the Yirginians. They are filled
with dismay, and are already beginning
to cry: Hold, enough 1t is a second
Five Forks to them, and they seem
willing to let us have peace. Should
they insist upon voting in November,
the Governor says he will sign no certi-
ficates of election, and it may be added
that General Stoneman will probably
take the same course in the premises
Washington Correspondent Tribune.
We presume Mr.. Wells has been max
ing the remarks above attributed to
him. His object doubtless is partly no.
toriety, and a desire to relieve himself
by new and feigned issue from the in
fanny attached to his recent remission
of the sentence of death passed on a
negro who held the mother of q young la
dy living near Norfolk, while q carpet
Dagger named Perkins, from New Eng
land, ravished her daughter in her
presence. The white man was hung,
but the sentence of the negro was CON-
muted by Governor Wells to imprison-
ment. In the Congressional district
where this hellish deed upon a respect
able young lady was perpetrated there
is, we are told, 1000 negro majority, and
Governor Wells is a candidate for re-
election. He wants these " loyal" votes
all of them. We hope the Republi-
can papers will help us to pass his name
around and the facts of this transac-
tion, and then add what comments they
please as to the danger Of NEW re-
bellion" in the South. Read it, gentle
