White Men Shall Rule America,
Light end knowledge Alone arc Re-
Quired TO Restore the "FarMer
Republic" of Our Fathers.

The circulation of Democratic newspapers,
and especially of county papers in their sew
etal localities, is of the greatest Importance.
To encourage this enterprise, and to aid in
the dissemination of correct doctrines, we
have determined to reduce our rates OF sub
scription to the lowest possible point consiS-
tent with the rrice of paper to us.
Fifteen dollars will procure ten copies OF
the srrRTr for the full term Of one year. with
an extra copy to the person who sends Us that
number of names.
There ought not to be township where 1t
woah be difficult to raise that small sum
suons so many subscribers.
II is conceded that the SPIRIT is one Of the
best representatives of Democratic principles
IN Eastern Ohio, while at the same time it
gives very large quantity Of fasni,y and
m,scellaneous reading, together with The i'm
rortant local news of Monroe County. and
full reliable market reports will be given
each week.
We shall earnestly oppose the unjust sys.
TEN, inaugurated by the Radical patty, o.
taxing the laboring man to make the rich
man richer.
The laboring man takes greenbacks for his
as srags," and demands gold for his bonds.
This is unjust; If greenbacks are good
enough for POOR men who pay taxes, they are
good enough for the bondholders who pay
no taxes, and they will be compelled to take
them (and pay their Just proportion OF taxa
tion,) in exchange for their bonds,o nothins'
Just as they may elect.
In conclusion. We ask the old frieI ds OF our
paper TO make an effort to increase our CIR
culatiou on the basis of these terms. There
is no paper in the country whose terms are
more liberal than those which we now offer

The Income Tax,

This tax expires by law in 1870. The
question of continuing it will come up
this winter in Congress, and it is more
than probable that it will be continued
and the rate reduced to three per cent.
That will be deduction of two per
cent in favor of the wealthy bondhold.

peoples taxes being reduced in 1870, Or
for years to come.

wA firm believer in the second ad-

that he can prove by the Scriptures that
"Christ will make his second advent here
in 1870, and will set up his kingdom,
which kingdom will stand forever" He
wants the editor to secure him the court
house for the 9TH of December, to do
the proving. We hope brother Morgan

the Cuban Junia casket of jewels val
ued at $4,000 in gold, which he desires
to have sold for the benefit of the patriot
army. Among the articles of great

about twenty diamonds, for which he
paid $4,000 in gold. Several diamond
and pearl rings of rare design and work

chains and unset stones are among the
collection. Donna Cespedes contributes
four bracelets, one of which, worth s6,r

aid of the cause. The money value of
these patriotic offerings is little short of
$4,000. --..s

Important Decision of the SUI
preme Court of MiSSOuri--Rela-
iiOn Of Civil and Ecclesiastical
Courts.

ST. LOUIS, November 22.-The Su-
premc Court of Missouri this morning
decided the case of the State VS.. Ferris,
involving directly the right of certain
parties to be Directors of Underwood
College at st. Charles, but which turned
upon the question of the validity of the
famous ipso .Jacto order, or Gurley pa
per adopted by the Old School Presby-
tcrian General Assembly at st. Louis in
1866. The Court unanimously held that
the action of the General Assembly, be-
ing the highest Church Court, is conclu
sivc on civil courts in all ecclesiastical
matters, and also expressly sustained the
action Of the General Assembly in 1865
and 1867, dissolving the several Synods
and Prcsbytcries adhering to the so call
ed Declaration and Testimony party, as
being within the constitutional church
powers of the Assembly. The effect of
this decision in this State is, to secure to
the adherents Of the General Assembly
as against the Declaration and Testimo-
my party, the control of all property
held upon condition of connection with
the Old School Presbyterian Church.

A TERRIBLE AFFAIR.

MEMruIs, November 24.-A terrible
affair occurred near Tiptonvillc, Tcnnes-
sec, Sunday. A party Of masked men
went to the house Of William Jones, a
planter, for the purpose of d:sarming
the negroes working 70, him. Jones,
lraving an intimation of their coming,
determined to resist, as the negroes had
been peaccable and well disposed, and
made proper means for defense. When
the raiders came they we're met with a
destructive fire, which caused them to
retreat. leaving one of their number dead
and two mOrtally wounGed. The dead
one proved to be Robert Dickinson, liv-
ing across the Kentucky line. His couS-
in, Robert Bcauchamp, died next morn
ing. He said he was misled INTO the
scrape.
The excitement next day was intense.
The officers came and arrested Mr.. Jones
and six of the negroes. Owing to tie
excitement Mr. Jones was taken 10 the
river in charge of the deputy sheriff,
placed on the steamer Louisville and
brought here, when the sheriff with the
negroes started for Troy, but were at
tackled by posse who took five Of the
negroes into the woods and shot them
down. The sheriff, by hard begging,
succeeded in saving the life of the other
one, who was taken to Troy and put in
Jail. The excitement in Upton is in
tense, and as the party who shot are
well known it is supposed that other
blood will be shed, even if the matter is
settled.
