from a single grain, consisting
of eighty stalks over five feet

This will be glorious news to
ROsey's old army friends. We
do not believe that he sympa
thizes with the Democracy,
and know that he has. ex.
pressed his disapprovol of most
of the planks of their platform.
Whether he has any sympathy
with the Democracy or not, it
is well known that they have
no sympathy with him, and
that his selection as their cans
didate was the result of a
squabble, which threatened
division in their household. |

spect for Gen. Rosecrans' ef-
forts in behalf of his country |

joiced that he is not now to be
made a cats paw for his old
enemy in the rear.

WE do not think We can be
misunderstood in what we said
about Gen. Rosecraas' reli,
gion, the Viaton Democrat to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Gen. Rosecrans is q Jealous
Catholic. The Catholic church,
headed by Archbishop Purcell
and The Catholic Telegraph, is
agitating, as they themselves
ayow, for the overthrow of our
common schooi system. Now,
Gen Rosecrans can enjoy his
religious belief freely. The
Democrat says truly that ii
neither fits nor units him for
Governor, but if his religious
belief teaches him, as the
Catholic Telegraph insists it
does, that "the State has no
right to educate the children"
that this is the business Of
the church alone-it is an IN.
reference upon the part Of
the Catholic church with the
affairs of the State which cur
people will not tolerate. They
are opposed to anything like
a mingling or meddling Of
Church or sect and State, and
will oppose this scheme Of the
Catholic church for the State
to support, by taxation, its
sectarian schools, in whatever
form it may present itself. If
Gen. Rosecrans represents this
avowed idea of his church,
1.-THE Democracy must expect
the united opposition Of all
friends of our free school sys
tenn.
The above was in type be-.
fore the declination of Rose
Grams was received, but as the
anti'school question is being
advocated by papers having
great influence in the Demo,
cratic party, and as not one
Democratic paper offers pro-
test, it is plain to see in what
direction they are drifting,
and we give it place. Wouldn't
it be we'll tor some Of the Dem,
ocratic organs hereabouts to
devote a small amount oftheir
space to an explanation OF the
Democratic position upon this
subject2 We want to know,

reputation, but how upon the
school question?l

power. The people were cred

and now, at the end OF two
years, the organs of the party
seek to comfort the people by
the assurance that their tqgeS
hare net been increased. In or.
der to male IL appear that the
taxes have not been increased,
however, they are compelled
to resort to such a suppression
of the truth as in ethics
amounts to a lie. 1t is true
that the total rate per cent. Of
levy has not been increased,
but owing to the increased re.
turn of property for taxation
in 1868, over the return in 1866,
the amount Of taxes was very
much greater. Even with this
increased collection, the eX.

rious other increased expendi,
lures, amounting to about ST..
500, 900, compelled them either
to increase the rate of taxes
for general revenue purposes,
or reduce the rate of payment
of the State debt. In order,
therefore, to deceive the people
and make such a showing as
would not indicate the greatly
increased expenditure for gems
eral revenue purposes, they
decrease the levy for payment
of the State debt, and increase
the levy for other State pur-
poses about 100000. The
levy for the payment Of State
debt was II cents on the 800
last year, and now it is Z cents
on the Sl0O, while the levy for
general purposes last year was
