Retrenohment.

During the canvass last year the air
was made vocal by the Radical stump
ers with bitter denunciations against
the previous Democratic Legislature,
ON account of what they charged as
it's "profigacy and extravaganza
Governor Hayes sounded this as the
keynote of the campaign in the Con-
vention which Fenominated him, and
the Radical stumpers and the press of
that party caught up the refrain and
and diiated upon ii, and it formed the
burden of their mad aud melancholy
song throughout the campaign. OF
course, they were to bring about a
great reform and the taxes were to be
greatly reduced under their manage
nenti And how have they redeemed
their PROMISES? Have they lessened
the burden of taxes? Not bit of it.
Instead of that they have added to
the taxes for State purposes alone the
sum Of $57S,902 32I So othat on every
one thousand dollars the people will
have to pay so cents more taxes than
in 1859: and this at a time when the
privileged bondholders are exempted
by Radical legislation from paying 0
cent of taxes. That is the Radical
idea OF equality economy and justice
How long will the people submit to
be thus deceived and plundered.

Poisonous SWiII.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer,
having complained of disease among his
hogs, is told by another correspondent that
the symptoms are similar to those of hogs
of his own, which he is satisfied died from
eating swill that had become poisoned by
standing too long. He says Chemistry
says that after swill stands certain length
of time after it has soured, it becomes poi
sonOus. l don't know that this is so, but l
do know that 1 shall not feed any more old
swill."
REMARKs.-Yes Brother Morse, swill
and everything else which is suffered to I'M
dergo the putrifactive or destructive fer
mentation, generates poisonous gases and
poisonous plants; and these gases and
plants if taken into the system in large
quantities will kill pig or a boy-a hog
or a man.
The mould so often seen on old swill and
other decaying substances is a poisonous
vegetable, belonging to that grand division
of the vegetable kingdom called Crytoga-
mia, or fowerless plants; and not a few of
the vegetable poisons will produce the
symptoms described in your interesting

Whether the pigs in question were killed
by eating bad swill, or by eating or inhal-
ing other poison, we cannot tell but we
do not doubt they were poisoned. 1t is
not necessary that pigs and hogs should
have the same kinds of food that the chill
dren and the old folks eat but it should
be nearly as clean; at least, if they are ex-
pected to eat some dirt, it should be clean
dirt, and not the poisonous dirt which comes
from decaying matter, whether vegetable
or animal.
