TuE Chillicothe Advertiser

Tue Chillicothe Advertiser
says, and the Democratic En-
uuirer endorses it, that the fol-
lowing placard is posted up at
the various iron furnaces in
ViDton and Jackson counties:
Gall persons in the employ
of the Company are required
to buy at the Company's Store.
Those not satisfied will call al

Now, we have since we have
been here, visited all the fur.
naces in the county a number
of times and we never saw any
such notice at any of them
Since the appearance Of the
article we have inquired of a
number Of furnacemen and
they all bear testimony that
no such regulation is in force
to their knowledge. We can
only conclude that the placard
is from the fertile brain Of the
Advertiser. ''
But the Enquirer wakes in
dignantly eloquent over this
item, which it knows TO be un
true, and goes on to make a
foolish plea for furnace EN-
ployees to vote the Democratic
ticket. AS usual though, our
neighbor overdoes the thing
and goes on to say that fur
mace proprietors are making
slaves of their employees, and
that their condition is worse
than that of the negro slaves
in the South. This'is not only
false and foolish, but is a base

chaff, and knowing your insult,

If the Democratic Enquirer
thinks five dollars per day is
too much to pay members OF
the Legislature, that it is tex
travagant," that it is "steal-
ing;;" why don't it pitch into
the late Democratic Legisla-
ture for failing to reduce the
pay? Why don't it score the
Hon. A. J. Swain, and other
members for their "extrava-
gance," for their ''steahng?"-
Come, now, neighbor, you had
it in your power to repeal the
five dollar law, why didn't you
do itss s -1r .ra.
O. For our own part we do not
think the pay is exorbitant. Ii
members go to Columbus, at
tend to their business as men
who are hired to do a certain
business should, they will not
only earn their money, but
will find at the end of the
term, that they have. but a
very small surplus left in their
pocket books. What we OBJ
ject to is protracting a session
beyond all reason, remaining
for months, drawing their pei
diem, for playing poker in gar
rets and carousing around th'
streets of olumbus.

The Lake Shore Democrat
wants a Democratic Legisla-
ture elected, and appeals to its
reader thus:
@You know that there are
three hundred millions dollars
worth of bends, held by clti.
zens of Ohio, upon which not
one cent of tax is paid, and
which, if taxed as other prop
erty, would bring into the
State Treasury, every year,
over FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS, and to this amount
would lessen the taxes OF the
people,"
We say to you, neighbor,
that you know that the above
is a piece of demagoguery;
that you know you had the
Legislature for two years past
and acAile yOu tared everything
else you DID NOT TAX BONDS; you
know that the Supreme Court
has decided time and again
that a State can not tax nation
al bonds; we say that you
knO,o this, for you told us so
last winter through the COL
umns of your paper Now,
isn't it a poor piece OF political
demagoguery for you to ask
the people to elect a Demo
cratic Legislature for the pur'
pose of doing what they failed
to do, and what you have tes'
tilted they can not do.
Now, since you say youSelt
that a State can not tax the
; bonds, that disposes Of thai
| part of the question, and we
will see if the bonds bear theil
share of National taxation.-
A person who deals in Nation
al securities pays his specia
tax just the same as a persor
who deals in other securltiej
no more and no less a
person whose income iron
bonds is over a thousand dol
lars pays his tax on that in
come just the same as doe
the person whose income from
his farm or his mandatory i
over a thousand dollars-n
more, no less. Capital, wheth

and we challenge you or an,
other Democratic editor t
show that this is not so.

All Democratic HOnOrs TO Con-
tiederateS.

Kentucky Democratic pa
pers, feeling secure in their
large majority in that State,
are bold in praise of rebels:
The Carlisle Democratic paper
says:
Capt. A. w. Bascom, another
noble Confederate has been
elected to the Legislature, and
that gallant old soldier, Col. G
w. Connor, has been elected
to the Senate. Both of these
men are from the county OF
Bath. Well, why not Confed'
crates be honored as well as
anybody else? they fought fol
the noblest cause that was
ever battled for by man. There
was more at stake than was
ever known in a contest before
and Kentucky, God bless her
is always true to her children
and to the cause of right.

made a discovery: "Figures

that there is a subtle connec'

and arrives at the conclusion
that one per cent. Of those who
pay fifteen thalerS yearly die
annually, two per cent. of those

three per cent. of those who
con tribute nine thalers to the

on down with the list, one pei
cent. being added for each de-
duction of thalers from the tax
book" From all of which we

composer-Mr. Q. q Converse. he mas prepared

excellence, by the most competent Judges as to lead
TO its publication for the use OF the orchestra gene

in pubic.
He obtained his musical tuition in Germany, at the
conservatory OF Lepslc and elsewhere. Such COM

musical career, prophesyng that it would be a dis
tlngutshed one. Mr.. Gilmore, in bringing Mr.. Con-
verses new composition out in such a magnificent
manner, has done most laudable thing for Ameri-
