PRISONER FROM PULASKI.

Nick Smith who stabbed young Dwye
during bar-room fight last week. wa
brought to the Jail Of this county for safe
keeping The Mound City Jail is mere
she'll erected out Of logs several years ago fol
city uses only and wholly unsafe. 1t was nc
more a fear, however, that Smith would break
out of Jail and effect his escape, than apprehen.
| sions that n mob would break in and take him
out and hang him, that suggested his removal
to Cairo. The feeling of Dwyers friends ran
high on the evening of the prisoner removal,
and it is thought that he was not "sprted
away an hour too soon.
A. a true version Of the affair has not yet
been published, it may further the ends Of
justice to state here the details Dryer was
intoxicated, and called at Smiths saloon with
some friends for drinks on credit. Smiths
son refused, whereat Dwyer became angry
even furious. The son Immediately advised
his father who was butchering an animal at
the time, Of the state Of affairs, and requested
him to come in and settle matters. Smith re-
paired to the saloon, knife in hand, but laid
the weapon down on reaching the counter.
Dwyer at once assaied him, using the most
abusive language he could command, to which
Smith replied angrily. The alteration had
continued only u few seconds when Dryer
seized chair and dealt blow at Smiths
head either missing him or striking him so
lightly that no injury resulted. Dryer per-
sisting in his assault, Smith gathered the
knife, and as Dwyer was in the act Of turning
plunged it into his back to a depth Of fully
eight inches inhicting CHASTITY wound and
cutting in two one Of the kindneys.
1t is said tina, Dwygr was very drunk and
incapable for that reason of in1iciing harm
upon Smith; but Of this fact, It is presumed
that Smith was not fully advised. These ara
the details as furnished to us BY party who
professes to be entirely familiar with the
whole unfortunate occurrence.

Taxation

THE cutlery made byDemocrats, against
taxes imposed by the General Govern
ment, is made without any good cause.
Taxation, in some form, is necessary to
the maintenance of the government at all
times, and the measure must, of course, be
much heavier when we have pensions to
pay to the wounded heroes of q bloody
war, and 10 the widows and orphans of
our fallen braves, and also the principal
and interest of q vast war debt to provide
for. The war was the last bequest of
long series OF Democratic Administrations,
and was waged by Democrats exclusively
Republicans were III no degree responsible
for their treason or its consequences. To
pay oil this Democratic debt, however
and they are taxed in common with others,
they bear their part without murmuring
The party charged with the manage
ment of the government has lighted the
burden of Federal taxation as fast as the
condition of our credit would permit. In
the first place the General Government has
taxed no lands, nor homes Of our peonle
All the taxes paid on them are for State
and municipal purposes. Second, the sys-
TEN OF taxes favors the poorer classes, even
to the extent OF entirely relieving them
No poor man is made to pay a dollar to
the government by way of tax on income
lands houses, or property II any man
who may be called poor pays anything to
the General Government, he does il on the
foreign goods, whisky or tobacco he
chooses to consume. The Republican Con
gress has uniformly favored labor and
taxed capital. As soon at it was possible
to do so it reduced the tax on manufac-
lures and industry generally, sixty mil
lions per annum. The incomes and luxu-
rlcs OF the rich are taxed and labor and
poverty almost entirely relieved. How
could taxation be made easier?
What relief do the Democracy propose?
Their policy, as deduced from the speeches,
platforms and letters of their leaders, is,
first, to tax the bonds second, pay them
IN greenbacks, and third, repudiate the
bonds altogether This is simply a swind-
ler's platform. The people will repudiate,
not the public debt, but the men who have
the audacity to insult the honor OF an hon
est people by asking them to adopt such
an infamous policy-1 oled0 Blade

Democratic Impuderce.

1T Is decidedly amusing to read some of
the resolutions embodied in Democratic
platforms now -a-days, and then to con
trast their demand. with what is takin 9
place throughout the country. The fol-
lowing plank from the declaration of
principles by the Pennsylvania Democra-
cy is an example,:
PesozUed, That reform in the administration of
the Federal and State Governments. and in the ar
rangement of their financial afsirs, is imperaivey
demanded.
When this resolution was promulgated

trenchment, fidelity in the performance Of

of his Department to the lowest standard
compatible with effectiveness had en-
forced more complete collection of in
tcrnal revenue and customs duties than
had been thought practicable, and
had diminished the public debt over
thirty million dollars, now aug
mented to nearly fifty millians. The
administration of the War Depart
ment had been attended with like
economy; indeed, every branch of the
government had undergone a thorough
scrutiny, with view TO the curtailment
of its expenditures in every practicable
and rational way. In the face Of these
conspicuous and notorious facts, here
comes the Democratic party, demanding,
III the name of the general welfare, that
the reforms already accomplished, which
displayed remarkable judgment, integrity,
diligence, knowledge, management and
good Intentions and which astonished and
delighted the country by the magnitude of
their achievements, should be themselves
reformed. What could such thing be
but progressing backward retroactive
reform which means nothing less than
return to the extravagan inefficiency,

Patrons Of Husbandry.

THIS Order was organized by number
Of distinguished Agriculturists, of various
States of the Union, at Washington, in
December, 1857, and since then has met
| with most encouraging success, giving as
surance that it will soon become one of the
most useful and powerful organizations in
the United States. It's grand object is not
only general improvement in husbandry,
but to increase the general happiness.
wealth and prosperity of the country. 1t
is founded upon the axioms that the pro-
ducts of the soil comprise the basis of all
wealth; that individual happiness depends
upon general prosperity, and that the
wealth of a country depends upon the
general intelligence and mental culture of
the producing classes. The ST. Paul Pio-
neer says; " We understand that as soon
as the harvest is secured, and during the
fall and winter, it is the intention of o. III.
Kelley, Secretary of the National Grange,
to visit the prominent towns in the south
ern part of Minnesota, and the leading
points in Illinois and Iowa, for the pur-
pose of organizing subordinate Oranges,
appoint deputies and generally supervise
the establishment of the Order We most
cheerfully commend both him and the Or
der to the editorial fraternity, and do so af-
ter an intimate personal acquaintance of
years with him, and familiarity with the
interior of Grange. Farmers are adj
