Confederate Debt.

Last week we stated that the defeat
ofDr Williams might give the Demo
Gratis majority in the Ohio legisla-
tprei that this Legislature would re-
district the State; that this would be so
ma naged that large majority of DENT
ocrats would be sent to Congress from
this State that this might give the
Democrats majority in Congress; that
one result to be expected from such a
majority, would be the payment of the
rebel war debt.
To show that this is no scare crow,
we give the opening sentences from an
editorial which recently appeared in the
New York Day Book, the leading Dem
ocratic paper in the United States
The editorial commences as follows:
TIE CONFEDERATE COTTON LoAN-wILI
1T EVER BE PAID.
We see, by late meeting of the
holders ofthe Confederate Cotton Loan
that they totally mistake affairs in this
country, and if they trust to the hopes
or expectations expressed by the prin-
cipal speaker on that occasion, or in
deed contemplate the chances for pay
ment from the "anti-slayery" stand
point, under any circumstances what
ever, they have about as much pros
pect of getting their money back as the
hapless householders of Sodom and Co.
morrah to recover damages for their
ruined dwellings! 1t is unfortunate that
such "views" prevail among the hold.
ers OF Confederate bonds first, because
it is the only debt that is just and should
be paid, and, in the second place, it il
the only debt connected with the great
American catastrophe that ever can be
paid, and, therefore, if properly man
aged, 10 will be paid. a...4.
The Italics are those used by thu
Day Book. What does s'properly man
aged" meant Is not part of the man

Land Assessors.

Are the people aware of the impor.
tanoe Of the office Of Land Assessor 7
These officers are elected by the people
in each township, aud they serve ten
years. They make an appraisement on
or before the first Monday Of July next,
and again in five years after that, of all
the real estate in the township in which
they are elected. As these men have
to fix, for taxation, the value Of all the
real estate owned by each man, and as
these men hold their Office ten years,
and have to make two such assess.
ments, it is very important that the
very best men should be elected. "-
The judges Of the elections will re-
member that separate poll books must
be kept forthe election of these officers,
and return of the same must be made
to the county Auditor. OF course, q
separate ballot-box must be kept. A.

on page 342, of Vol. 66, that Mr.. Chap.
mans duty was to list for taxation and
return to the assessor all bonds, treasury
notes and fractional currency, on OF
before the Goth of June, 1869, and in
case he failed to list all such BY that
time, it is made the duty Of the assessor
to make investigation in relation there
to, and return the same to the auditor,
who shall place the amount with fifty
per centum added thereto on the du-
plcate for taxation. l find on exam
ination of the Auditors Office no such
return has ever been made, and no
bonds or U. S. Notes or currency has
been reported. r7eess,
Now this isa pretty state of facts, "a
pretty pickle,8 for Mr.. Chapman to be
in and then to have the boldness to at
tack the character of such man as Mr..
Lackey for merely being true to his
oath OF office, true to himself, true to
the interests of the people in preventing
Mr.. Chapman aud his likes from getting
the peoples money, contrary to law.
But as Mr.. Chapman and Sabin Griffis,
the assessor Of this township last spring,
and now Democratic candidate for land
appraiser, seem to get along so we'll III
letting the Bank clear of paying any
tax whatever, l have no doubt they can
work to each others hand if they can
succeed in getting Mr.. Grifis elected
land appraiser. 1t may be Mr. Chap
man considers that his chances to get
at the peoples, money will be increased
if he can succeed in his base way, in
defeating Mr.. Lackey and having Mr..
Davis elected. For some reason Mr..
Chapman has been taking a great iu-
terest in the purchase and sale of the
Diamond Furnace property, and having
it purchased for an In6rmary for the
county.
/ No.sooner did he find out some per-
sons would favor the move than he me-
gotiated for Messrs. DUNCAN aud Davis
with the company, 30 as to have the
county heeeed by buying it an advanced
price from them. And as Mr.. Lackey
is known to be opposed to any such
speculation, it is necessary to get rid of
him and try to elect Mr.. Davis, SO they
could make a nice thing out ofa
Butlwhenlthe people know what is
Gods truth, that all Who are finding
fault with Mr.. Lackey are persons that
,canted money out Of the treasury contrary
to LaV, and whom he by his honesty aud
.faithfulness defeated, they will be slow
to believe such SANDERS as such men
may circulate against him, and all hon
est men of all parties ought to put, and
l think will put, the seal of condemna-
tion on them by triumphantly electing
man true and faithful as Mr.. Lackey
in a signal manner, and under trying
circumstances has proven himself to be.

Soon after Gen. Rosecrans was nom.


Soon after Gen. Rosecrans was NOM
mated lor Governor by the Democratic
party, q story was started that be had,
while in the army, taken Gen. Hayes
by the collar, and threatened to cut off
his shoulder straps This was to be
seen in nearly all of the baser sort
Of the Democratic papers. Gen, Com
ly, editor of the 0. S, Journal, was in
the army at the time, and knew that
this story was false. So he wrote to
Gen, Rosecrans about the matter, and
here is what is the result;
"The following letter explains itself.
The ely dig at the Democratic press
for its continued misrepresentation of
Rosecrans is especially enjoyable:

mislaid it has remained unanswered un-

The foolish story you desire me to
contradict, about my having once siezed
Gen, Hayes by the collar and threaten

injustice to me, it is true, but | am so
used to Misrepresentation and calum-
ay through the press that seldom no.
tice even the greatest, However, as it
also does shameful injustice to Gov.
Hayes, and he may not find it pleasant
to suffer as | do, nor easy to prove a
negative, it is my pleasure to say that
no such occurrence ever transpired,
nor have / ever had occasion, so far as
| now remember, for aught but CON-
mendation of the military conduct of

them. u Truly yours, ho9l9

Adam LackeV.

We publish a communication in ref
erence to one, Of the charges made
against Mr., Lackey, candidate for
county Commissioner 1t is written by
"a gentleman of responsibility. Mr..
Chapman, in his business and other
transactions with US, has always been
a fair, honorable and accommodating
gentleman, and if he desires to reply,
he can have any amount of space in
our paper which he may want.
1t would be we'll for the tax payers
Of Jackson county to remember that
the only objection to Mr.. Lackey is,
that he has watched the treasury
with too vigilant an eye. No man
gets at the public money where Mr..
Lackey has anything to do with it, un-
less it is all fair and honest. Would
it not be better if there were more
such county Commissioners in this
State .... .. .........

In company with Mr.. Roberts, wa
went to Liberty township on Wedne'-
day night of last week. We called to
see Mr., Martin Vandivort, who is very
sick. We got a good supper there, and
then went to Whaley's School House.
The meeting was not large, but was a
good meeting, about one half present
being Democrats. Mr. Roberts spoke
first, and we followed. Mr. Baker then
spoke a few minutes, when Dr. Will
liams, our candidate for Representative
was called out. He said he was not a
public speaker, but that he had come
out to see the people, and get acqpaint-
ed with them, as he had but few ac-
quaintances in that part of the county
DR.. Williams continued to talk for some
time. and made a good impression.

tastefully and elegantly decorated,
The wall was one grand wreath Of Aow-

One of our Democratic exchanges,
in speaking of speech made by Hon
Job E. Stevenson, in which Mr.. Ste
yenson got after Cary, says; .4
"There is more logic in one of Cary's
sentences than Job can emit in two
hour harangue. " srg. ..1.l aaI
Perhaps our Democratic cotemporary
had reference TO this sentence, uttered
by Cary in his Troy speech:
There is not a robber, pirate or
murderer Id all the South, from jeff
Davis to Semmes and QuantrelI, who
would not vote tor Hoffman aud the
whole Democratic ticket, if they had
access to your ballot box" p
Or perhaps our Democratic cotem-
porary had reference to the following
sentence, found in Cary's Nixon letter:
"The party that opposed the Gov
ernment in its efforts to crush out the
rebellion, and organized consplracies
in Ohio to aid traitors the party that
denounced Lincoln as a tyrant and
usurper, and our soldi ers as 'hirelings'
and dogs the party that denounced
the war as a failure, and tried to make
it so; the party that dssuaded men
from enlisting, and persuaded them to
desert after they had enlisted the
party in Congress that opposed sub
hitting the amendment abolishing
slavery and all our State Legislatures
opposed the ratification ofthat amend
ment when submitted, this party that
now favors admission to the halls Of
Congress Of the most conspicuous
leaders of the rebellion without condi-
tions this party, stepped in crime and
covered with inlamy, will doubtless be
true to its instincts and consistent in its
record, by opposing this amendment"
No truer description of the Demo
cratic party can be given than the
above, where Cary speaks of it as
''Steepcd N crime and covcred eosth mf fttrny,'
That is rich. And also true as the foul
! Gospels. |t . "'.
