that he who resists, or in any unreasona-

Theory VS.. Practice.

-iiIt will answer very well as theory
for Garfield to 'allege that the reason
for not taxing gold rings, bracelets,
SC, is, that they are so easily conceal
ed; but does not every one know that
as a matter of fact, these articles are
worn in the most conspicuous man
ner which is the only use of orna-
ments. Does any man or woman be-
lieve, although Garfield asserts it, that
the fashionable daughters or wives of
the millionaires would be shorn of
their personal ornaments, pearls, dia-
monds, rings, &C., because they cost a
trif1e more or even double from taxa
ton. The fine little fashionable dolls
would no more appear without their
jewelry than peacock would with
out his tail. The white fingered aris-
tocracy pay ten per cent. upon their
luxuries, while the ycalloused hands of
laborers pay from 80 to so per cent.
fornecessai,ies, and when the Denoc-
racy demand that such luxur'ies be
taxed, oh no, don't, If you do, ""They

rhe Reason whv.

.-sa
Garfield comes TO the rescue of his
rich non-taxpaying friends who own
diamonds, gems, jewelry, &c, and
says the reason these precious articles
are. not taxed at as high a rate as nee
essaries is, that these little valuables
are SO easily concealed that, if heavily
taxed, the owner will not pay any tax
whatever. This is q, frank admission
showing beyond q cayil that the, radi-
cal Congress knew this class of
wealthy people were dishonest and
would not pay their share of taxes to
support the Government. Hoes,
spades, hatchets, &C., used by the
workingnen. are taxed four times as
much as ornaments used by the
wealthy, and upon the principle that
the willing horse is always harnessed.
Voters of Ohio, let us take off the
stage-chain, put the harness on these
slick, high-headed, vicious old horses,
make them stand in the traces and
pull their share. 5!ou n@t lsop

1nauguration of Governor walker.

A Richmond dispatch, of the 21st,
says: Governor Walker was installed
as Provisional Governor at the guber-
material mansion to-day at noon, Gen.
Candy being present. Gov. Wells
turned over the Office to the new in
cumb6nt, who took the iron clad and
other oaths of Office. There were no
ceremonies and no demonstrations
except the gathering of large crowd
of white and colored people to con-
graduate the new Governor, who
shook hands with them.
The first appointment made by
Governor Walker was that OF Captain
VIM. E. Cameron, editor Of the Pc
tersburg Inder, as his Secretary.
Captain Cameron was an officer in the
Confederate army, and one of the
first and most determined supporters
Of the Walker Republican ticket in the
late campaign.

A FEW days since a statement was
telegraphed from New Orleans that
General Steedman, ex-Collector of In

to the extent of over half million Of
dollars. A Washington telegram of
the 26th, says: 1t is declared here, by
parties cognizant of the suit against
him, that it is not founded OH crimi-
nal charge. The suits, they allege,
are brought as civil ones, and grow
out of the destruction of bonded ware
houses by fire during the administra-
ton Of General Steedman's predeces-
sor. It is stated to be necessary, in
order to clear the Government records
of the debt against the ex-Collector,
to resort to this proceeding, there be-
ing no other way.

NEWS FROM THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
Arrival of Some of Dr.. HILLS Expedition

A dispatch to the Western Asso-
ciated Press, dated Norwich, Connec-
ticut, Sept. 26, says:
The whaling schooner Cornelia,
Captain Baker, has arrived at New
London from Cumberland inlet. She
brings as passengers three men be-
longing to Dr.. f. Halls expedition i'll
search of Sir John Franklin. DR.. Fl.
is-a> passenger on board the ship An
sci Gibbs, for New Bedford. He has
number of things belonging to Sir
John Franklin, including some spoons
and clironometer box. He was also
successful in finding skeletons of
many of his men, and the remains of
several of their boats. Skeletons and
other relics were found at King Will
Jams Land. The Cornelia brought an
anchor, found at the extreme north,
marked 'SE.S.. 1776," which is sup
posed to have belonged to the first
explorers.
Fl DR.. Hall found native who claims
to know all about the party. He says
the ship was stove in, and the crew
took to their boats and went ashore,
ed, and they died from starvation
Ice and snow prevented DR.. Hall from
making full explorations. He will re-
turn next summer and still further
prosecute the search. The ship Ansel
Gibbs will arrive at New Bedford in
day OF so.
g . ARRIVAL OF DIR. HALL.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. 26.-
DR.. G. f. Hall, the distinguished Arc
tic explorer with Evierburg and Took
olita, two Esquimaux, and their three
daughters, arrived at this port to-day
in the ship Ansel Gibbs, from Repulse
Bay, August %. DIR. Hall brings us,
as the result of his five years resi-
-dence in the Arctic regions, most in
teresting intelligence in regard to the
death of Sir John Franklin and his
companions, aud conclusive evidence
that none of them ever reached Mon
treal Island. He saw the natives who
were the last to look upon Crozier and
his party. The Doctor also brings
with him the remains of a young man
who belonged to that ill-fated band of
explorers, and also various relics of
the explorations. He has prepared a
report, addressed to his friend, Henry
Grinnell, Of New York, which will
soon be given to the public through
the press. DR.. Hall is by no means
tired of the exploration, and purposes
next spring to start anew, and push
his journeying to the North pole. He
regards his experience of the last ten
years as Invaluable to him as prepara-
ton and aid in the future"
In the report alluded to he says =
Wherever L found that Sir John
Franklin's companions had died l
erected monument, fired salute,
and waved the star-spangled banner
over them in the memory of the dis
coverY of the northwest passage.

bingham ON Acriculturo..

John A. Bingham in his speech at
the mass meeting undertook to prove
that farmers were very prosperous,
getting from so to loop cent. upon
their labor each year and Iridieuied
Geo. Fl. Pendleton, for quoting the
Cincinnati Commerciql which states
that trade is dull. almost stagnantj;
wheat, corn, oats ruling low and no
demand, &c. He 1nade,it very plain
to his own mind, but not so satisfacto-
ry to the farmers who listened. He
illustrated by instancing the hay crop
saying, that an acre would grow ~
tons of timothy hay, worth $40 per
ton, making $50 gain pei. acre, while
the land itself was worth only. $40,
per acre. Farmers would you not
like to have Bingham be your paymas-
ter if his figuring be correct? IF he
had as large an experience in earning
a dollar from o the products of the
earth as he has of getting it from the
q. S. Treasury, he would not dispute
Mr.. Pendleton. The facts are, first,
that meadow lands in general do not
yield more than one ton to the acre,
and secondly, it is worth only about
$13, a ton on an average. Now deduct
expenses. A farmer, who has q farm
worth $50 per acre, his meadows are
worth to him at least s75 per acre, six
per cent. upon his investment is $3.50
the taxes, cutting and putting up the
hay will cost him another $3.50 leav-
ing the farmer 81, instead of $50, ac-
cording to Bingham's figures. The
farmers. profits are uncertain. He
will.take this $13, ton of hay, with
another to it, and feed to his cow
which in the spring may die. He has
paid so per ton, making SIS, to get the
hay, he has paid $50, for his COW. and
the taxes, fed her during the winter
and in Tho spring this misfortune
which is an incicent to has calling,
| makes it . total loss. The holders OF
national securities have no such losses
to lessen their gain, nor do they have
years labor on an acre of land to get
81. They are exempt from taxation,
sit in an easy chair, within palatial
walls and count their interest in gold.
Which is right, Pendleton, whose
sympathies are with laborer, saving
that labor is not compensated, no de-
mand for agricultural products and
no money for the producers, or Bing
ham, whose sympathies are for the
rich and thinks farmers ought not to
grumble that they are making $50
from an acre costing only $40, Sep
We think that men Of experience can
emphatically decide which is correct
and that they will do SO on the 18th
Of October next. -.

Great Excitement in wan Street.

The excitement in the gold room in
Wall street, New York, on Friday
last was the greatest for many years
past. On Thursday afternoon the
bulls had succeeded in putting up the
price of gold to LA, and on Friday it
opened at 145, and during the day it
went up as high as 1861. AT l 80 D.
m, it was sold in lots of a million at
l60, and, in a few minutes after, in
lots of ten to twenty thousand at 135
to 1875. The next day the quotation
was l33, at about which figure it has
remained since, and the excitement
has pretty much abated. IH.7s re 7

Greenbacks for the farmer, for the
mechanic for the merchant, for the

but gold. -

to pay the pension of soldier who
lost an arm or leg in the service; or
to pay the widow and orphan whose
husband and father gave his life in
battle, they are good enough to pay

SENSIBLE TALK FROM A RADICAL
PAPER.-The following from the Gin
cinnati Times, on the subject Of State
rights and the 18th amendment, is
sensible talk, and shows that there is
an awakening even among the Radi-
calls in regard to the tendency toward
a total revolution in the fundamental
principles upon which the Govern
ment was founded, and the tendency
to consolidation: 5'if .-.. +''s.
"5But the Fifteenth Amendment.
Should single Democrat, get to the
Legislature from Hamilton County,
he might prevent the ratification OF
the amendment. Very well. Then
honestly. submit the question it in
wolves to a vote of the people directly
and make it part of the Constitution
of Ohio. Congress has gone far
enough with its encroachment upon
State sovereignty; and what the Gen
er Government, and more especially
the Republican party, would. lose by
the failure of that amendment, would
be saved by the State. The States
have none too much power, and the
time may soon come when it will be
necessary to diminish the powers OF
the Central Government. -. -,

ring are OF moro Importance to Ham

voters to strengthen the power of the
ring. The negroes can get the right
to vote in an honest way, and i'll ac,
cordance with the spirit of our insti.
tutions by which the people should
decide for themselves. The question
may become interesting when hun
dred thousand coolies in Ohio shall be
demanding the right of suffrage under
that amendment. They could only be
excluded from the ballot by refusing
them naturalization papers. Thai
would involve far greater breach OF
the American principle than the refu.
sal ofyotes to our colored men. Thus
the amendment itself being violation
of our National policy, would render q
still greater violation necessary"
