When Mrs. Rawlins Was
Maiden.

From the Louisville Courier-JCurnal.
There will be very general feel
ing OF sympathy in the South for
this afflicted lady. During the war
she resided at Vlcksburg, Missis-
sippi as a friend, in the family of
Mr.. Lum, q prominent citizen of
that place. Her maiden name was
Hurlburt, if we remember correctly.
She was greatly admired and re-
spected by all the Confederate Off
GERS who were visitors at the house.
Pleasant and winning in manner, the
charms of her society, and her
manifold courtesies and kindness to
all Of them will be remembered by
those who were among the many
who were cheered by her kindness
and elegant hospitality. Among the
throng of her admirers, was brave
young officer belonging to Withers
battalion of artillery, c. S. A, who
awakened a deeper feeling than
friendship in her who was doomed
to hear of his death out on the
lines shortly afterward, during the
last memorable siege. When Gen
eral Grant, with the late General
Rawlins as Chief of Staff, entered
Vicksburg, Mr.. Lum's house was oc-
cupied. Here it was she met her
late husband, who, touched by her
great worth and charming qualities,
subsequently offered himself and
was accepted. All the Southern Of
ficers who were at Vicksburg will
bear testimony to the undertaking
courtesy of General RawlIns in his
intercourse with them, and his af-
fiicted widow will now have their
heartiest sympathy in her bereave-
ment.

H- The New York Tribune thus,
truly, hits the Pendleton democracy
of Ohio, in asking the people to
''bury the past"
1t is not strange that the Ohio
Democracy having nominated in
sheer desperation the dubious Pen
dleton, should now be howling for a
general act of oblivion. Mr. Pen
dle:on, when the very existence of
the Republic was at stake, protested
vehemently, and with all his signal
ability, against coercion. His sup
porters think it hard that this pecu-
iiarity of his past political life
should now be revived, and they
charge the Ohio Republicans with
the resuscitation, untimely and un-
generous, of "dead issues" It
would take double convex of extra
gas microscope to discover the force
Of this petty cavil. Has Mr.. Pen
dleton ever changed his opinionsp-
Has he ever done penance for his
errors? And if he is of the same
mind now as in the early part of the
present decade, is he, while so many
old matters are unsettled, fit to be
trusted? That is the question:

Facts and Figures.


is the battle cry of the Democ.
racy.
Such charge is untrue and insin-
cere. Bare assertion is useless to
convince the voters of Gallia
county demand evidence to estab-
lish any assertion, as fact. The
democratic administration of Mr..
Johnson suffers by comparison with
the present economic and honest
administration of the Government.
The relative honesty may be OBJ
served in the
RECEIPTS OF INTERNAL REVENUE
TAXES,
for the periods named:
From january 1st, to June 3Oth. 1869 ss5. .ss4 00O
From January 1st, to June 1st 1858. s64.46s 600
Gain, $21 SIG, ,000
An increase of 211 millions to the
public treasury, in sir months from
one source only.
Democracy shouts, we want an
honest collection of the revenue
True, and so do Republicans, and
which of the above statements prove
an honest return of such collec-
ton?
The taxes were collected in 1868,
and paid by the people,-but where
are the absent 21 millions?-not in
the revenue of the u. S.-the hon
est officials of democracy can alone
answer and exhibit their pro rata
distribution.
On Spirits gain of $152s6, { 90
On Tobacco gaino of 41SSS1
On Stamps gain OF oSoUU
On Incomes gain of l,oo4,VU
the balance of the 211 millions, be-
ing divided among passports, gross
receipts, &c. &c. 21a millions is
heavy stealage for six months. The
comparative honesty of the present
return of the collection of Internal
Revenue, is practical, and beyond
dispute. 1t is no naked assertion,
but fixed fact; the immense gains
being its incontrovertible evidence.
But this is not ALL Under the pres
ent system, taxes have actually been
taken off, approximating in round
numbers to S30,OOO,OOO. Yet in the
face of this, the total receipts are
215 millions more than under the
democratic regime. The Tax on
Incomes has yielded 81 1864, 900 more
than in the corresponding six
months of 1868. From this the me-
chanic and the laborer are totally
erempt, the plan of taxing the in
come of the working man, be it $40
or 800 per month, is peculiarly and
solely a democratic policy of raising
revenue. Republicanism absolutely
refuses to tax the daily pay of the
toiling masses, leaving that mani
fest injustice to their political oppo-
nents.
1t may be objected that Mr.. John
sons administration was not demo-
cratic. If not; what was it? John
son was a prominent candidate for
President before the Democratic Con-
vention.
Men are known by the company
they keep. Johnson,-his army of
oficlals-his pardoned counterfeit
ers-his released revenue thieves
are their names not found in the
records of that immaculate, honest
party.
"Study the past, and you will
know the future" is an ancient
worthy of present con-
sideration by the voters of Ohio,
and it will be well considered before
they again place in positions of
trust, the honest officials so recently
scattered by Grant and Boutwell,.
The support of HAYES and the en-
tire straight REPUBLICAN TICKET
alone insures us a continuance of an
honest return of the Internal Reve-
nue. collected.

cannot be done by lukewarmness and

the Dispatch said it, as witness the
following:
"The resignation of Rosecrans. we
should judge from his letter, was made
more because he lacked understanding
of any sympathy for the true princi-

No man so thoroughly saturated with

tai thither At present, owing to the
want of facilities for getting timber from
the interior of the island to the coast, this
branch of commerce is almost neglected
Moreover, this district of Camaguey is
the most thinly settled ofthe island. Geo
graphically few countries in the world
offer such advantages for commerce as
Cuba, from the very large number OF
splendid harbors with which her coasts
are studded from Maisi to San Antonio.
OF these many of them are. unknown, such
as the magnificent ones of Nipe and Lee
visa on the north shore, IN the eastern de
partment
The population of the whole island of
Cuba, is under one and half millions
The last census of 1862, which was pretty
accurately complied by the government,
gives the figures at:-white, 764, $780, free
colored, 221 AIT; slave, 373,071; total 1,
359,23S We are not inclined to believe
that the population has increased since
1862, the excess of births over deaths of
the white and free colored races is more
than counterbalanced by the decrease of
the slaves The number of the latter can
only be maintained by inportations from
Africa, which, thank Godi are ended, I'M
less the Spaniards should succeed in re
conquering the island. i4'. 3 a5t#
The apparent anomaly that only about
one-twentieth part of an island so prolific
Of valuable crops should be under cult
vation, is explained by the SATISFIES of
the population. Crops are raised in Cuba,
exclusively by slave labor, or, in other
words, deducting one half the number of
slaves for the young children and old
men, and from the remainder at least 20
per cent for slaves employed as house
servants, coopers Hghtermen &C., we find
that some one hundred and fifty thousand
field hands raise agricultural crops to the
annual value of one hundred and thirty
million dollars, an enormous average Of
over $3.50 each The freedmen are very
exceptionally seen in the country. When
mantlinitted they take, as elsWhere, to the
cities. s17d at H5tiH Aaa9 1boa 1860
The profits arising from commerce,
trade and manufactures in the cities of
the island in 1861, are authoritatively
stated at $154,770,O00, and in this state
ment of the city of Havana figures for
ninety-three millions" In other words,
the industry of Cuba, in cities and coun
try, produces annually nearly 100000,
