"ONLY A STORY. This is the reply of a
radical cotemporary to the charge that there
have been three hundred and forty defaulting
Collectors of Internal Revenue The facts
are as follows: On the 2lst of March last it
was resolved by the lower House of Congress
that "The Secretary of the Treasury be and
is hereby directed to furnish this House a
statement of balances due from Collectors
of Internal Revenue not nolU IN flee" etc.
Secretary Boutwell's S reply to this resolution
of inquiry is contained in Executive Document
No, 267, giving the names of the full number
we have stated three hundred and forty. The
defacations of this army ofradical Office hold
ers run up into the millions, and furnish a
striking illustration of the rascally practices
Of the party that arrogates to itself all the
patriotism of the country Our cotemporary
may be right in saying this charge is s''only a
story" but it is true one, founded upon
facts in possession of the Treasury Depart
ment, and given to the world over the official
signature of Secretary Boutwell,. "Only a
story" of radical life and practices; a story of
the peoples loss and the psrty's shame.

go, MY taxes are SO heavy" is the cry Of
the middle and poorer classes. Gentlemen,
you do not take to this thing kindly. Don't
you belong to that ''purest and best" of par
ties, that believe "national debt is ma
tional blessing?" The fellows you have
elected to Office believe the hair of the dog
is good for the bite" and if little taxation
is good, of course good deal is better, and
so they pile it on you. The Freedmen's
Bureau was an excellent thing. "Ihe col
ored troops fought nobly," you know. The
money must be raised. Radical office-hold-
ers can't steal from an empty treasure box.
The bonds must not be taxed. Rich corpor-
ations run the Government. Poor men have
no rights, they say. Tax them; keep tax
ing them; they have stood it for ten years,
and they will stand it longer. The Radical
party is in power. 1t makes the taxes and
it steals the money. You groaning tax
payers, you are all right. Keep rig hit on
voting the Republican dissatisfaction Re-
publican.

THE LITTLE HOUSEWIFE.

o little housewife clean and spruce,
Thy use one heart devines!
A rosy apple full of juice
And polished-till it shines;
A tiny, trippling, tender thing,
A foe to lazy htters,
A household angel tidying
Till all around thee glitters!
To see thee in thy loveliness,
So prudish and so chaste,
No speck upon thy cotton dress
Girded around thy waist;
The ankle peeping white as snow
Thy tucked up kirtle under,
While shining dishes, row on row,
Behind thee stare and wonder
While round thy door the millions call,
While the great markets fill
Though public sorrow strikes us all,
Singing, thou workest still;
Yea, all thy care and all thy lot
Is ever sweet and willing,
To keep one little household spot
AS clean as a new shilling.
The crimson freight dips
Thy cheeks until the glow;
The white -four makes thy fnger-tips
Like rosebnds dropt in snow;
When all thy gentle heart
Flutters in exhultation,
To compass in an apple tart,
Thy noblest aspiration!
o housewife thy modest worth
Keep ever free from wrong;
Blest be the house and bright the hearth,
Thou blessest all day longl
And nightly may thy sleep be sound,
While o er thee, softly, Silly,
The curtains close like leaves around
The hushed heart of the lily.

ONLY SIX MnLoNs.--This is all that has
been lost by the rascality Of public officials
since the present national Administration
came into power. We mean by those who
have been caught at their tricks, but not
punished. The sums indirectly flched from
the public by jobs and others means will
doubtless aggregate five times that amount
1t is notorious fact that many Senators and
Representatives who entered Office short
time ago poor, are now very rich, and that
the most economical among them could not
have saved more than $4,000 per annum
from their salaries. Reporter

The Constitutional Convention.

The unusual pressure upon our columns
this week compels us to omit our usual synsp-
sis of the daily proceedings of the constitu-
tional convention for the last week.
The remaining sections of the report on the
legislative department were disposed of on
Monday, and adopted. The number of sena-
tors is fixed at 81, and representatives at 1873.
Each county having sufficient population for
threefourths of ratio is to have represen-
tative.
The article on suffrage, in consequence of
the virtual adoption of the Fifteenth Amend.
ment to the Constitution of the U. s., was re-
committed, to be fixed up to fit the new order
of things.
On Tuesday the sections on the legislative
department were taken up, and have occu-
pied the convention since then. The first fif-
teen sections were adopted during that and
the succeeding day. They make very few
changes in the present constitution The
Governor and other state officers ore to be
elected for four years, and are not eligible for
second term; the veto power OF the Govern
or is enlarged, SO as to require two-thirds
vote of the legislature to overcome it; and the
Governors pa.doning power is restricted.
The 26th section, relating to the fees of the Ex-
ecutive officers. caused warm contest, and was
finally adopted in shape to leave the fixing
of their pay to the immaculate wisdom of fu-
ture legislatures. The 22d section, which
was intended to annul the act of the last leg
islature giving certain counties the right to
apply portion Of their state taxes to local
railroad purposes, was defeated.
A motion was made on Tuesday to adjourn
over tor q month, but voted down. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that a recess of month or
two will yet be taken before the final adjourn.

Washington News,

The leading items of Washington news dur
ing the week can be summed up briefly. The
bill for the admission Of Mississippi passed
the senate on the 18th, just as 1t came from the
house, and in almost the same words OF the
Virginia bill. Since then two representatives
from that state have been admitted to the
house, two others not being able to take the
oath. In the senate a warm discussion arose
on the admission Of the negro Revels, Davis
and Stockton Objecting to his certificate as
coming from military officer,--an officer un-
known to the senate. The question went
over, and may be debated a week.
The alarming news of the probable success
of the democrats at the closely pending cleo.
tions in New Hampshire and Connecticut has
caused the house to make some important
movements on the financial question. The
ways and means committee have been instruct
ed to reduce taxation $4,000, 900, and the
banking committee have been instructed to
introduce bill for a $5O,O00OOO expansion
of currency. After these propositions shall
have had their due effect on the elections in
dictated, however, there is little hope of either
becoming a law.
The dirty business of the sale of cadetships
by carpet-bagger members of congress con.
tinues to engage the attention Of the house.
The testimony elected thus far duplicates
Whittemore, of S. c., Blackburn. of La,
Devices, of N. c., and sundry Others On
Tuesday the committee reported the facts in
the case Of Whittemore to the house with reso-
luton for his expulsion. Logan, chairman of
committee, advocated the passage of the reso-
luton with vehemcncc, while Butler natural
ly defended: Whittemore. The chic fdefence
set up is the technical one that the offense
was committed while Whttemorc was mem.
Der of previous congress, for which the pres
ent congress has no right to punish him. The
motion being about to be put on Whittemore's
expulsion, the gentleman resigned, and there
upon the subject was postponed.

Fox River Valley Railroad.

There is quite buzz up Fox River, we are
told, ever a rumor that the Fox River Valley
Railroad has been sold out to the Burlington
road, or some other road or connection, and
instead of running to Aurora and Geneva,
will stop at Sandwich, Somouauk, or some
where in that vicinity. These reports are
without the slightest foundation. The Fox
River Valley r. R. is located, and that loca'
ton will be adhered to. The road we are
confidently assured will be completed to Au
rora within the coming year, the contractor
being fully prepared to redeem every engage
ment The sale of the road from Streator to

en-: or its future prospects. The people up
