But the Senator did make a speech of
more than an hours length, during which
he was applauded bot once, and then only
when he pitched into .Sambo.
Hendricks is an able man, ready, fluent
and oily speaker, and We anticipated heavy
blows on this occasion. However we
were greatly disappointed, for the speech
was a very weak one. AS faif sample
of the whole we give one or two of his
arguments; The Republicans" he said

that the poor man has no right to a voice

BOURBON ITEMS.

The Democracy after spending an
unusual amount of time and labor,
did actually succeed in getting up a
procession to 90 from here to War

procession! But then they were not
so much to blame after all, for they
depended on and expected 200 horse
men from Argos, but Argos failed to
appear. After pertaining their breath
with corn juice and other beverages
the procession, consisting of Is
wagons containing % voters and 1913
men, women and children, ali told,
went on its winding way.
The white boys in blue were rather
young-say about five or thereabouts
and were Is in number. When they
returned the looked like motherless

On Sunday night last some large,
devilish boys had the impudence to
daub tar on the door knobs of some
of the houses in this place. When
political excitement gets SO high that
Democrats will allow their boys to
act thus, we think satan should close
his mortgage on them at once. y,

that Hendricks would be at Plymouth on
Monday, the eth inst, on his way from
Warsaw to Valparaiso. Large posters
were strewn beautifully all over town, urg-

next Governor speak. When the 5 p

cars and was at Once taken 10 the Brass

in reconstructed Arkansas Conway, Per-
ry, and Columbia counties are In open re-.

are wholly powerless. A Court was bro

slaught was made on Union men. Finally
the, Rebels proposed TO desist, If the Union
men would surrender their arms until alter
the election. This was refused, and the
disarming commenced, which was resisted
by the Union then, and afight ensued. The
Rebels had greatly the advantage in nnm-
beers, and were being reinforced from other
counties, and the Union men were falling
back, but fighting considerably. Firing
was heard at Lewisburg all day Tuesday
A coiored man announced himself for
Grant In Columbia County, and Was taken
10 the woods in open day and literally shot
TO pieces by about ! 30 white rebels. They
returned, Boosting of the act, and defied

The Chicego Post says: THE lasi act OF
the rebels before the war was to vote. the
Democratic ticket. The first act Of the
nbels after the war was 10 vote the Dem
ocraiic ticket. As there was but one step
from Democray into rebellion, there was
bat one step from rebellion back into De
mocracy." Loyal and Union loving people
will not vote for party that stand in such
close relations to traitors that the latter fly
to it as to city OF refuge.

From these figures it will be seen that
in the year 1866 Marshall county
was taxed 1S,257,49 more than
st. Joseph, and in 1867 s10,l69, SO
more.
OF course the State tax Of St 10
Is larger than in Marshall. This is
all right The State tax is not
regulated by the count officials. but
rate is the same on the 800 in every
county in tire State. The county tax
is fixed by the Board of Commission
ers and should vary in the different
counties according to the needs Of
each. In Marshall in 1866, the rate
fixed by the Democratic Board of
Commissioners was nearly three
times as large as the, rate fixed by
the Republican Board of St Jo- for

Can any honest man tell why Mar

We have been informed by good
Democrats that the county officials

county tax than ST. Joseph, and that
they are at loss to know whom to

ter and mean just what we say. If
any tax payer VIII ask to see our figD
ures and documents in relation to
this question of taxation, we viii
gladly show them to him.
The county officials and editors of
the Democrat know right well that
we state the truth about this matter.
They do not pretend to explain why
the people of Marshall were taxed in
'66 about $1,000 more than were
the people Of wealthy st. Joseph for
county purposes. They mutter
something about Court House tax,
but this is mere bagatelle and did
not probably exceed $1,000 or $4,000
Again, they say the records are open
for inspection, and ask us to examine
them, investigate and show where
there has been dishonesty. These
gentleman make this seemingly fair
offer when they knew il is utterly inn
possible for any committee of Judg
es, lawyers, Auditors. Clerks, or any
reasonable number Of men to prop
erly and carefully investigate and ex-i
anime the county records before The
election. We have no reference to
the record in the Recorders Office
1t took the Clerk, Treasurer, Auditor
and their deputies. and the Commits
sioners mouths and months to make
up their records, and for their labor
the county has paid them thousands
upon thousands Of dollars 1t is an
insult to the intelligence ofthis coun-
ty to invite the people to investigate
this matter before the election. And
then an investigation might only.
show a reckless and extravagant ex,
penditure of the peoples money. But
this would be bad enough, Heaven
knows!
There was a clear defalcation by a
Democratic official not long since,
but the records show no such fact,
and the county officials never made
it public. Before the Republicans
came into power, Marshall county
Democratic office holders became de-
faulters, or at least used large sums,

ven hearted rebels, amid their shot
and shell, to enable them to hold the
property which Of right belonged to
us, the Radicals Offered provisions.
When the blow was struck and war
was inevitable, the Radicals furnished
men and means to checkmate them in
their foul schemes; when we met with
defeat at Bull Run, and the disaster
shed gloom on all the country, and
the hopes OF the nation were almost
expiring, the Radicals, nerved by the
same nerve and fired by the same fire
of our patriotic Fathers, buckled on
theirarmor and went to the cOuntry's
rescue; when the question arose as to
whether the nation Or slavery should
survive, the Radicals soon decided
that the nation should live and that
slavery should die. When it became
apparent that the majority of the in
mates of the Capitol were enemies to
the country, and the enemy artillery
was ready to strike the death blow
to the nation, and in this extreme
emergency q member of Congress

Speaker in the following terms, sub
stantially: that there were but two

the other was to let the South go, and
that he was in favor of the latter; at
that tine one radical Colfax, (who, in
the hour of our country's peril, never

seathing terms that forever after ST.
