The starving Fenisn army have at last

npt, indeed, By terrific and arduous march,
but by check for their railroad fares, ne
cessary mutton and whiskey on their way
home. While the doughty Feninns have been
often beaten, this WAS their first and only
check Tho memorable hero to whom they
are thus indebted is the valiant Knight Of the
Slate lobby and Chevalier of the
city treasury Of New York-Sir
William n. Tweed. Mr.. Tweed
can well afford to advance the cash to
bring ten thousand Fenians home-tha
more the better. Their votes keep TAM
many and Tweed in control of the city and
State; the city and State SO controlled keep
Tweed, Fisk, and Gould in control of the
Erie Railway, and the Erie Railway so con-
trolled pays even ali its earnings to Tweed,
Fisk, and Gould, amounting in gross to
SIG, Oo0, 600 year. Thus the vile British
stockholders are made to pay the cost of
the war On both mdes- The only wonder
is, that the Fenian army did not 60 to Can
ada over the Erie, and in command of the
gallant Fisk, Jr., who Was recently elected

The Democracy Of Ohio, in their recent
convention, hare shown the first gleam OF
wisdom that has overtaIen them during
period Of nearly twenty years. They have
virtually abandoned the negro question,
and have limited their hostility to the Atn-
can race to one short resolution protesting,
not against the Fifteenth Amendment, but
against the Law recently passed by
Congress to enforce it. The other reso-
lutions Of the convention relate
to the tariff, the public debt, and the cur
reney. In reference to the latter subject,

tonal bank notes, in face Of the unani

Mr Gladstonets Iiah Land bill, which
has Just passed the House of Commons,
mud about which SO much ado is made III
England, is so very simple an affair that the
Importance attached to it as measure Of
reform only shows how. difficult it is for
the British Parliament to do anything
efficiently for Ireland. The measure con-
sists simply and solely in giving the tenant,
if the landlord chooses to eject him, right
10 compensation for any improvement he
may have made within the preceding
twenty years, or to purchase the
land itself at an appraised value,
to aid which the government lends
the tenant two-thjrds Of the sum re-
quired ont Of the public treasury. The
first of these privileges has been usually OBJ
tanned in effect by the Ulster custom, under
which the outgoing tenant was allowed to
sell the "good will of his improvements
to the incoming tenant. But neither the
Ulster custom nor the right to compensa-
ton for improvements has ever yet been
1egnlized in Ireland, though that country
is, perhaps, the only one in which the ten
ant has neither the right to remove his i'm
provements nor be paid for them.

FRIDAY, JUNE ), 1870.


The June statement of the public debt is
e1asperating to MI taxpayers. It is not
disputed that nll departments Of American
industry. and all classes of the American
people, are suffering from excessive tara
tion- 1t is conceded by the highest politi-
cal economists and statesmen that, when
ta1atiozi is carried to point where it par
alyzes production, it is wiser and more
economical to reduce the taxes than to re-
duce the debt they are intended to pay. #
the payment Of b given amount of debt
stops one million Of interest, but if the
collection of the taxes necessary for its pay
ment stop the production or exchange of
ten millions Of values, we are saving at the
spigot and pouring out at the bung.
Yet, in face of these plain facts aud
principles, Secretary Boutwells June state
ment announces, rs if it were claim to
popularity, That the reduction of the debt,
or rather the purchase Of bonds upon which
interest is still running, during the month
Of May, amounted to S14 ,301, s42, or at the
rate Of $171, ,oo0, 600 per year, or about half
a million dollars day. Mr.. Boutwell, has
got the. maggot in his brain that the heavier
ta1ss the people pay the more likely they
are to rally around the administration and
e1tol the head ta1-gatherer. Bnt every
turn Of this thumb-screw, every flsring
announcement that half million dol
lars = day are being e1torted
from the taxpayers, IN payment of the
debt alone, in addition to the vast sums for
the expenses Of the national, State, and To-
cal governments, brings the cold sweat to
the broWs of the msn Of business and tho
menuf toll throughout the country. TITS
stopf&g production attn thousand points,
and, If maintained, must at length work its
own cure IN q general prostration of the

charge and suffering Of hundreds Of thou
