licensing Crime.

The Government-that is the
Radical Congress, for it's lead
ers claim that Congress is the
Government, just as they used
to claim that President Lincoln
was-licenses persons to retail
liquor in this State although
the State Constitution positive
ly forbids it.
In like manner the Govern
ment licenses the worst of
gambling, the sale of lottery
tickets, and the Radical press
set up a terrible howl because,
as they say, that, in New York
alone, the Government has been
swindled out of two million
dollars by means Of false re-
turns made by lottery ticket
venders. The amount lost in
Ohio is not given.
The Ohio Constitution says
that lotteries and the sale of
lottery tickets for any purpose
whatever, shall forever be pro-
hibited in this State and yet
Congress, by granting a license
to lottery ticket venders, legal
ICES it.
Such is the beauties of Radi-
cal legislation that crime is
made lawful by license, and
the State Constitution of Ohio
overridden by laws passed by a
party made up Congress.

A gentleman writing from
the South says that the negro
wenches in the section in which
he lives, destroy their progeny
almost as soon as they make
their appearance in this world,
and assign as a reason for such
inhumanity, that they are not
able to support themselves, and
therefore are not able to sup
port their offspring.
This is the race Of people
that the Radical party is put.
ting forward as the equals of
the Caucassian-the race of
people into whose hands the
Radicals are willing and en-
deavoring to put the balance of
power in this boasted of enlight.
ened government,
How about this, lovers of free
government, are you willing
that such a state of affairs shall
be forced upon you, Or are you
willing that we shall have the
policy that governed us under
Democratic rule. IF you de-
sire to return to the latter vote
the Democratic ticket, but if
you desire to continue in your
mad course vote the Radical
ticket.

vestigation into the cause Of
the dreadful catastrophe on the
W Western Pacific Branch Rail-
road the other day, that the
switchman, who was carefully
furnished by the company with
a time table for his guidance as
to the running of trains, could
not read word of time table
uor anything else-in short,
that the poor fellow could neith-
er read nor write. Now, this
is not the mans fault, but his
misfortune. But what censure
is too severe for the company
who employed such person in
this responsible position, with
hundreds Of lives in his hands?
We fear that there are a good
many more switchmen to whom
the time tables are just as worth
less and incomprehensible as to
this California pioneerr in the
business.

Harrison was his own auditor,
balanced his own books, and it
has doubts as to whether he
used the money wisely. We
hope the Register will drive
Harrison into making an ex-
hibit, so that all may know how
much money the officeholders

EdaLcntin0 Darkies.

We hear that aschool house will
will soon be built in this city, in
which to teach the ideas of the
young darkies how to shoot. But
there is one subject Of much more
Importance to this class than book
learning, and that is to teach them
how to work. Their mastess taught
them this important branch of ed u
cation formerly, but who is to do it
now, is a serious question. The first
need of the negro race, and an es-
peciaIly important one to young
darkies, is to know how to work, for
there are no avenues opened for the
employment of educated blacks, but
pressing need Of black working
hands. 1t is nonsense to be teach
ing this class the accomplishments
Of scholastic education when their
utmost need is food and laiment.--
We should like to know what an
educated darly would find to do, be
his a ttainmen line ever so re
markable, while all who know how
to work are greately in demand.-
An edAcated negro could find no
employment fit to engage his talents
he would not be admitted to the
bar, not permitted to practice med
icine, and we are sure that our
neighbor of the Statesman would
not employ him ON his paper
Teach the negroes how to work and
keep them at it, and this is the best
education they can have.-Ler ing
ton (Ky) Gazette.
The above, says the NY. Day
Book, is sound advice. An
educated darkey is as abnor,
NAL a specimen of humanity as
can well be conceived. He is
simply a monstrosity, and
bears about the same relation
to the brotherhood of scholars,
or even ordinarily educated
white men, as the learned pig
which certainly does very ex-
traordinary feats in orthogra,
ply and syntax, but is, after
all, nothing but a pig. The
learned darkey' thus approach
es the learned pig, Educate
Sambo to work and honestly
earn his daily bread, and edu-
cate him to keep his hands from
the property of other people,
and he will have learned some
thing he very much needs to
know. Laziness and immoral
lty are natural to an educated
niger. Teach him to spell out
q few words, make him brrely |
able to read, and he goes of,
steals bible, and sets up as a
:preachel5' a little education
actually demoralizes him. And
worse than all, it exhausts his
and shortens his life.

So the business man is pay

Tax on the bonds
Tax on the currency

And all this for the benefit
Of the bondholder and national

this matter and see if we have

We have one hundred and
ninety.eight millions of dollars
less money in the country than
before the war. And then we
had too little. And we have
a larger extent Of country to
supply than then. We have
a largely increased population
from natural causes and from
immigration. And we have
several million black people
who now, doing business for
themselves, must use money
not needed by them before the
war.
And what does our Govern.
ment to give relief?
1t withholds currency-is-
sues bonds, taxes the poor, ex-
empts the rich. Let the peo-
pie demand either money OF
blood!
Give us greenbacks for your
labor-robbing la bonds, or give
us a red,hot blood-letting peace,

the lingering agony and busi.
ness depression settling like a
pail over the industry and pros.
pcrity of the country.

The only help we can have
is from the Government, anG
from this source there is moth.

the country more money. Bu'

and until more is given there
will be hard times.
And there is no need fo1

No reason that money should

TO those who have the will to
do, the pluck to dare, the col.

in other countries, money can

Moneyis scarce because it is
not in the country.
We have, all told, of cur
rency to-day, one hundred and
ninety,eight millions of dollars
less currency than in 1860, be-

We have no gold or silver

We have over four hundred
