More iSteQLinG.

The Radical Imperial papers arc
continually denying that the Gov
ornment officials do not steal or do
fraud the Government. We will
make n charge here, but will ofIer
testimony that can not be disputed
A dispatch from Washington City
to the Cincinnati ChronicaI, a lead
ing Radical paper, says
Numerous charges OF fraud upon
the customs revenue have recently
been preferred against the Collector
of New Orleans. AS the Collector,
Mr.. Casey, is the Presidents broth
cl-in- law, the subject becomes one
somewhat delicate to handle, but
Secretary Boutwell, says tho char
gcs shall be impartially investiga-
ted, and Collector Casey dealt with
accordingly"
That is indeed a very easy way
of acknowledging tho frauds upon
the revenue" butas it is somewhat
delicate to HANDLE" it will no doubt
be "impartially Investigated, -
Let our revenue friend Of the Tin.
ton Record stop his lying about the
Ohio Legislature and give his read
ers chapter or two on "rovenue
frauds" stealings.

Tennessee, where four years past, Rad.

has redeemed itself at the late election.
The contest was fairly made between
Radical and Conservalives--Stokes being
the candidate Of tho former, Scnter the
standard bearer of the latter. In both
branches Of the Legislature thore 70 elec'
ed an snti-Rajlcal majority, which will
elect Conservative United States Sena-

The RNIic0E WNf on the
Schools of OYiO.

Gov. Hays. in his printed
speech, charges the Demo-
cratic Legislature with a prof
ligate expenditure of the
public money, because the
General Assembly passed
laws, at the instance Of the
people most interested, allow
ing them to levy taxes to
build school houses and to
pay school debts. And the
State Executive Committee
of that party follows the lead
of Governor Hays and de-
nounces the same laws.
The Radical State officers
of Ohio, within the last few
years, without warrant of
constitutional law, seized and
sequestrated a large amount
Of money, belonging to the
children of Ohio, as a part of
the fund raised by taxation
for their education, and used
it for other and different pur-
poses.
The school law of Ohio is
a Democratic institution
originating in a Democratic
Legislature, and passed into
u law by Democratic votes
every Democratic member
voting yea on its passage. 1t
is because Of this fact, and of
that other fact, that the prin-
ciples of the party opposed
to Radicalism is based on the
intelligence Of the people,
that the Democracy opposes
in all it's Protean shapes any
and everything calculated to
weaken it's efficiency, and
hence it is that they
DENoUNCE the course of
Gov. Hayes and his satellites
of the Radidal State Execu-
tive Committee, in opposition
to the law for the levying of
taxes to build school houses,
as a secret stab at the COM
mon school system, and that
they
DENoUNCE as a swindle,
as q fraud, and as a high
handed outrage-utterly I'M
constitutional and dishonest,
the taking of THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS from the funds of
the common schools, by Rad
ical States officers, and using,
or pretending to use it, for
other and entirely different
purposes.
These facts show the base
ness Of the Radical war on
the schools Of Ohio.-[Ohio

Robbery of the Robbers ! -

June %, about two million dollars in
United States securities were stolen by
burg lars, from the vault OF bank in this
city. These securities belonged to spec
ial depositors. They we're in the boxes,
locked up in great big safe, in great

One box contained sixty thousand dol

the bank, cut off the interest coupons and
draw his gold. lie did not pay one cent

for the policemen who are now looking
for the bui glars
That little tin boz sitting there in q
vault, hid away from The light Of day
earned more than the yearly profits on
ten first .class farms. It ate up the pro.
duce Of ten wheat farms in the West, 1t
drank the profits Of ten dairies in Orange
county. II slept on the beds Of hundred
printers and monopoliged the profits Of
their labor. 1t wore the wool of three
thousand sheep, yet paid not dime for
taxes
The owner Of that little box was rich
day before yesterday. He rode in his
carriage, and made dirty little children
get out Of the way. Ho drank wine, and
hired q niger boy TO fan him at an up
town hotel The Government protected
him, and he was happy. HIS shirt was

and he smiled so sweetly on the harlots
aud concubnes of bondholders we almost
envied him his ease.

Next TO books there Is no inRnimatc thing in
the house that can produce so much profitable
pleasure as Piano. A library and Piano are
symbols OF a high civilization. These two spread
the nobler banquet where the soul is led, without
fear of gluttony or dissipation, As books bring
in 10 our daily circle as familiar companions the
nobest spirits that ever wrought upon earth
and permit us TO rear our children under the
influence OF the noblcst natures, so the Piano.
with simple incantatons bring us up from their
sleep, the brotherhood Of song, and persuadeS
them TO dwell among us.
OF the enormous variety OF Pianos nanuhc-
tured. il must be admitted mono have contributed
so much 10 the happiness ofour homes, rs those
celebrated instruments, used by tho thousands
IN every quarter Of the globe, and manufactured
by the world renowned house Of Mcssrs. wM.
KNABE 4 Co., Baltimore. Those Pianos lave
been before the public for more than 10 years,
with steady increase Of popularity, until to-day
they are pronounced by the greatest artists, am.
