The colored voters of Cincinnati held
a large meeting on last Friday night.
at which one of the speakers address
ed himself to the idea that the negroes
were all mortgaged to the Republican
party, and would vote just as its Lead
ers dictated. Said the orator Of the
occasion
al tell you the colored people ofthis
country will cast q vote for themselves
after awhile. For a time they will fol-
low the parties in power, but it will
not always be so. The time will come
when the colored men will commence
to assert their rights. 1 mean the
masses of the colored people. They
will take issue with the Republican
party upon this high tariff question in
the South. Applause. There is no
doubt about it, because the colored
people, the great masses of them, are
in the Southern States. They are a
non-manufacturing people. They are
an agricultural people, and as a mat
ter of course they will not sustain q
high tariff"

a glaring fact, that we, as a people, are
governed too much. We have toe
much legislation I; power is constantly
stealing from the many into the hands
ofthe few. We should declare wal a.
gainst this Aristocracy of wealth that
is o growing up in the Government,
controlling, as it will, the political
power thereof, and declare ourselves
in favor of the Democracy of num-
bers.
MONDAY, 4th instant, elections were
he'd in McConnelsyille for Township
and Corporation officers. The election
passed off quietly. Much interest, how
ever, was manifested, from the great
number of candidates for the several
offices. There were four tickets in the
field Democratic, Temperance, INDIE
pendent, and Republican. Several of
the candidates occupied positions on
at least three OF these tickets, and
were generally successful. The result
in the Corporation was as follows:
Mayor-W. W. McCarty, Temper
ance.
Clerk-W. A. Sill, Democrat.
Treasurer-Cleason B. Bozmsn, Tenn
perance ~.
Marshal-Cornelius Head, Democrat.
Council-Dr. John Ewing, 2 years,
Democrat Elias n. Stanbery, 2years,
Temperance Thomas Hammond, 2
years, Temperance E. P. Dunsmoor,
| year, Independent Robert L. Nor
ris, l year, Temperance Hiram Nc
Grath, / year, Democrat.
The Temperance men were elected
by the aid of Republicans and a Ja0
Democratic votes.
The Township election resulted as
follows:
Trustees-David HoIbrook, Republic
can ; Jeptha Doudns, Temperance; j.
Loughridge, Temperance.
Clerk-W. A. Sill, Democrat.
Treasurer-Cleason B. Bowman, Tenn
perance ~
Assessor-Robert A. Pinkerton, De
mocrat.
Constables-Corneliu Head, Demo
crat; Abner Pyle, Independent
Supervisors-John Donahue, jr., End
District, Democrat; John NJ. Wilson,
Sd District, Republican.
Some of the Democratic nominees
were injured by the procurement at
the Herald Office of a fraudulent and
spurious ticket. This business was car
ried so far as to defeat the regular
Democratic nominee for Township and
Corporation Treasurer. Besides, it had
a damaging influence upon the whole
ticket. Take the result all in all, the
Democracy done nobly.
The results of these elections shows
the fact, that the Radical party of this
and Village is contro led
and governed by an organization with
in themselves, that in the hereafter VIII
be troublesome to the leaders and will
lead to ultimate and certain overthrow.
Let the Democracy hereafter avoid
this political element, and 60 forward
in the great work of bringing the Re
back~if possible, to its ancient
purity and IespectabilitY.

THE TAX.
From the PITTSBURGH Pat

We fancy that if Congress needs
the voice of the people the income
tax will be permitted to die the
death it so richly deserves, and no
attempt will be made to galvanIze
the repugnant carcass.
For the last few days petitions
have been IN circulation in this cI-
ty asking that it be not revived or
re enacted and they have been
signed almost universally by bust
ness and professional men. In fact,
not a single refusal has come 70 our
knowledge. While all good clti-
zens are perfectly willing to bear
the burdens of taxation to the full
est limit, they all unite in the opin-
ion that the income tax law, IS un-
just and undesirable and should not
be longer inflicted upon the peo-
pie.
Aside from the fact that it keeps
in office an army of inquisitors,
whose salaries amount IN the ag-
gregate to millions per year, it OPP
ems the way for dishonest persons
to evade the tax, it imposes and ex-
poses the private business affairs of
every honest man, to the inspec~
ton of others, who r perhaps per-
sonal enemies.
This movement against the in
come tax law is not confined to any
party, all alike asking to be reliev~
ed from its inquisltorial operations.
All the prominent business and
professional men hereabout, ask, as
with a single voice, for Its abrogA>
ton within the limit prescribed in
the original act.
We are satisfied hat throughout
the entire country, a million of men
whose private affairs have been re-
peatedly outraged by its operations
will JOIN in a protest against its e.
enactment. Let Congress reflect
upon this state of the case. The
people want no modification of it,
but its total abrogation. 1t is not
against the tax their voice is rails
cd, but against the principle upon
which 1t is collected and the inquls-
itorial nature of its provisions.
Congress does not want any bet
ter expression of public sentiment
than the universally with which
this petition is signed. 1t is a thou
sand times a better index than any
thing party organs may say about
it. We doubt if ten thousand bus
mess and professional men IN the
country could be found to petition
for its re-enactment. We shall now
see whether Congress will set up
its own opinions against the unani-
nous wish of the people. If so. we
have faith that the people will
know how to make their wishes re-
spected in the future. While we
have but little faith in the present
Congress, we think that selt>inter-
est will compel prompt and decis-
i've action.

A MINORITY.
From the Ohio Statesman.

This is not a paradox. although
it may seem 30. The Democratic
party of The union to-day, is repre-
scented on the floor of the United
States Senate by but n seventh of
the number of Senators, and IN tbs
House of representatives by less
than one-third of the Representa-
tlves. The Executive Department
of the Federal Government is en-
tirely in the possession of the Rad
reals. If occasionally we catch
CLEANS of Democratic truth from
the supreme Judiciary, 1T is because
the principles themselves are ire
~pressible. The Radicals have dcnc
their best to reduce the Supreme
Court to the low level of a political
cancus ; and 1t is an even question
whether they have not succeeded.
The two last appointments are un-
derstood to be heavily Weighted
with pledges to carry out the de-
crees of an irresponsible junta. If
this proves correct the Court will
become as much of a farce as the
Congress or The Executive. 1t will
be powerful for evil, but of no avail
as ar Independent interpreter of
the Constitution and Laws.
This is certainly not an encoura-
ging showing for the Democracy,
but there is something behind it :
a great fact that lies above and be-
yond the accidental control ofCon-
gross, Presidents, and Courts; and
It is In this fact that we DISCERN the
rays of hope, and find incentive and
encouragement TO persistent and or
ganized labor.
In 1868. nearly three millions Of
citizens recorded their votes for the
candidates of the Democratic par
ty. A change of but five per cent.
in the popular vote would have Civ,
en- us the majority. This was done
too, 10 despite of the bayonets Of
the military satraps at the South
IN defiance of partisan disfranchis,
ing laws in Missouri, West Virgin
ia, Tennessee, and other recon,
structei" States, and notwithstan'
ding the pressure of prejudice aGG
bogus "loyalty" at the North. Il
say nothing OF the mistakes anC
bad management in our own polit'
zeal household. This is encourag-
ing ground from which to survey
the future. The Democratic mi
bority in the National Congress
has at Its back q powerful and com
pact organization. undismayed by
past defeats and hopeful of future
victories. 1t is pretty well weedec
of all soldiers of fortune, and EN-
braces men of a positive politica
faith that has been tried IN just a
much persecution as RadicalIsn
dared to invent or practice. Ii
fact it is tolerabIy clear that will

may reasonably leok for in 1872

instated.
He earned all the hono-s that
were showered upon hun, and was
no less distinguished for his una, =
suming modesty than for his brav-
cry. By his soldiers be was al
ways regarded with respect and af-
lection. His death occurred at San
Francisco, very unexpectedly, on
the 18th OF. March, the result on an
