GRANTS ADMINIsTRATION.

Views of the Chicago Republican.
From the Chicago Republican RADICAL.
1t is useless to conceal q fact, which
has become patent to all, and that is
that the Administration has disappoint-
ed net only the country generally, but
its immediate party friends. Even the
jackals and very buzzards and scaven-
gers of the party camp not only scent
the rising gale of popular dissatisfac-
tion, but are preparing to veer round
and take advantage of the unexpected
change of sentiment. The very men
who, a short time since, claimed to be
friends of the President par excellence,
are now wagging their tongues sgainst
him in the streets and public tar.rooms,
and pronouncing him political failure
and his nomination a party hlunder.
Take as evidence the Chicago Tribune,
which after vainly striving for weeks to
Justify nominations forced upon the Pres
ldent by its own immediate friends and
supporters, now luffs up into the very
wind'seye of its former teachings, until
every rag Of canvass in that unstable
craft tutters and flaps in the breeze, and
threatens TO fly in shreds from the bolt
ropes. Now, this sudden change of the
course of the sheet in question has been
attribsted to disappointment because
one of its propTietars was not awarded a
lore gn mission, which he was to obtain
Win the assistance of the Vice Presi-
Gent. But this is not the real reason
LOT the change in the course of that
journal, The real reason is that the
management, like the other scavengers
y. lhe party camp, thinks it detects a
Ghsnge In public sentiment on the sub
JeeI OF the Cabinet appointments, and

Gymnasties.

After becoming proficient in the ath-
letic exercises of mail robbery, WELLS,
who wants TO become Governor of Vir-
ginis, has just struck out in the line of
political gymnastics. A few weeks ago
he held the UNDERWOOD constitution,
in its original integrity and with all its
parts, to be essential to the prosperity
Of loyalty" in the Old Dominion. Now
he says "he has never been satisfied
that the Acknowledgement clause would
accomplish the object for which it was
framed" The 'tobject" in question was
to psrpetuate the political power of the
State in the hands of a greedy gang Of
scalawags and adventures, headed by
WELLS himself. So far from accom-
plishing this important and ex-
tremely desirable "object," the disfran-
ohisement clause is destined to igno-
minious defeat and will carry down
with it every prOseriptionist and cor
ruptionist who advocates it. Hence
the magnificent double somerset in the
air performed by this eminent carpet
bagger of Virginia. A circus rider
named MADIGAN, attempting a similar
feat in Paris, Kentucky, few days ago,
fell aud broke his neck. A like result
from the wiggles of WELLS would not
specially distress the Virginia people.
1t is not improbable that it will some
day be reached through tie operations
of the law and the Intervention of a

The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., COLUMBUS DELANo, has decided
that farmers are manufacturers. They
are therefore liable to be taxed upon
what they produce, just as the manu-
facturers of New England are TO be
taxed on what they make. The farmers
are in the worse fix of the two, for they
have no tariff to protect them. The man.
ufacturer collects his tax from the con-
sumer and is unhurt. The farmers can't
add their tax to the price of their grain
for they raise more than the country con-
sumes, and having to work against a
full supply cannot put their figures up at
pleasure. This decision will virtually
rob the agricultural class of every dol
lar of revenue which it compels them to
pay. In this State it will operate with
peculiar severity. The taxation already
tries the farmers to the utmost point
of endurance. An additional burden
especially a heavy one like this,
will render farming operations in West
Virginia entirely protitless. The peo.
pie of our State have gone badly astray
in their worship Of strange gods, but
this bitter penalty will so far toward
opening their eyes. The Enquirer says:
The farmers of the West have been
and are taxed for the benefit of New
England in everything they wear, in
every article with which they can add
to the comforts of their families, in all
by which they can adorn their houses
OF improve their fields. -Four thousand
articles of prime necessity, the majori |
ty of which enter into the consumption |
of every farmers household in the land |
have long been taxed. The iron of which |
the plowshare is made is taxed; the |
saw that fashions the beam is taxed; |
the cotton that clothes the little !
ones is taxed; the coat he wears to
shield him from the weather is taxed; |
the nails that fasten the roof over his
head are taxed; the drugs and medi-
cines with which, in sickness, he en-
deavors to postpone death or allsy the
satisfied with covering the whole man
and his dwelling with taxation, the
vampire must change its nature, and
prey upon the stomach. The farmer is
declared by the Commissioner to be a
manufacturer, and to be taxed
as such for every peck of
wheat he may grow and convert into
flour, to feed even his own hungry chill
dren. They may cry for bread, but the
father must give them half loaf, in
order that by saving the remainder he
may satisfy the craving nav of the
tax gatherer. This is the result of Rad
ical rule-the good Lord only knows
how long the people are to be subject to
it. Grapes are not made of thorns, or
figs of thistles, and it will not be by
means like this that our waste places
will be populated and our deserts cov-
ered with blossom

VotiaR in Ohio.

We see that both branches of the Ohio
Legislature have passed the Visible
Admixture Bill, and it is now a law.
The bill provides that any person not a
white male citizen shall be punished
for voting by Imprisonment in the Peni-
tentiary from one TO tive years. A
white man, being a nonresident, for
voting is punished by imprisonment in
a county Jail for from one to six months.
The bill provides that person procur-
ing q negro to vote shall be punished
by Imprisonment in the Penitentiary
from one to FIVE years. If he procures 3
white man to vote illegally, the punish:
ment is imprisonment in the county
Jail from one to six months. 1t is not
necessary that the negro should know
that he is an illegal voter, or for the
person who induce him to vote to know
that he is an illegal voter.

When LEE surrendered to GRANT gold
dropped to about 40. When GRANT
surrendered to the Senate oligarchy
gold began to rise. Yesterday it went a
fraction over 1856. Thus the benefits of

Ismael Pasha's letter contains caution: To
suppose that, if the news from CohS'an.inOp,o
be true, the Porte has consented ~ ''p
mise on the point of the budget Loan 10.
Withal, we conceive that the Vicercs n
been moro or less an offender BY the tea'
of the 6rman of 1871, Egypt had no nght %
vessels of war without the Sultans express
permission; and we believe that this ?ron,ol.
ton is unchanged; : so that In one respect, I'M
dependently of bis questioned right to treat,
the Viceroy has sinned. Nor do we imagine that
in the event of war the advantages would
be upon the side of the Viceroy. True enough,
the Ottoman treasury Is not full. but we under
stand that it can borrow money at IL per cent,
as against 20 per cent or more in 1861. Its de-
felt is about 100000, or little more than
that Of the Argentine Confederation, and not
as much, perhaps, as that Of Mexico, Brazil, or
the province of Cuba at the beginning OF this
year; We might almost add Prussia, as repre-
sented in the North German Confederation.
More than this, ye are assured that the En-
pire is at peace bat Paper money has disap-
peared, that the prestige of the Porte has been
strengthened. and that the revenues have risen
40 per cent since 1862. Accepting but half OF
this as the truth, the Ottoman Empire has still a
vitality sufficient to defend its authority.
