Get Every Vote Out.

As parting word to Democrats aud
Conservatives we would impress upon
them the absolute necessity of getting
every vote out. If this be done on the
day Of election we can elect our ticket
by several hundred majority in spite of
the negro vote. The Democrat and
Conservative who can get to the polls
on next Tuesday, and does not, is guilty
Of au actual wrong, and he will ever
after be sorry for it. The Radicals
hopeto carry the election, in this county,
by means Of negro votes, but it is only
necessary for the white freemen to rally
to the polls as in past years, to rebuke
their presumption. An old fashioned
Democratic Conservative majority this

Voters, Look at the Taxes.

A very little examination will satisfy
any person that Grants Radical admin,
isiratiou is the most expensive one we
ever had in time of peace. The first
year he was in Office the expenditures
were $3.50, 796 ,355, exclusive of interest
aud principal of the public debt-aver'
aging s4TG for each individual. The
average cost of the government to the
taxpayers during twenty.four years of
Democratic administration, from Jack.
sou to Buchanan, inclusive, was but
sl77 to each individual, and this in,
cludcd the cost of the Florida and
Mexican wars. The whole amount of
Federal taxes extortcd from the tax
payers by Grants administration, dur
ing the last fiscal year, is Sill ,255,.
I7.63, which is an average Of sl0.2S
to each Notwithstanding the pop
ulation at 40,0O0,0O0. The present
Radical administration collects as much
tax in one year as Democrats collect in
twelve.

that rumors are rife of other cabinet
changes, and that it is regarded as more
than possible that the cabinet will
undergo another entire transformation
aud reconstruction before the present
term of the administration is ended
General Grant on coming into power,
declared that if his officers aud subor.
dinatcs were not what he wished, or
were not suited to their places, he would
appoint others, but we were hardly
prepared to take him so literally at his
word as the event has shown we must
do. Regarding the numerous changes
under Sir. Johnson's administration,
and those which have already occurred
under his successor, We may conclude
that there are few places, even in the
fluctuations of American political life
so veriablo aud uncertain as a cabinet
