Democratic enquirer. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1867-1873, 1870-04-13

The Military Committee of
the House of Representatives,
Of which Hon. John A. Logan,
of Illinois, is Chairman, have
found the charges preferred
against Hon. John Covode, of
Pennsylvania, of improperly dis
posing Of cadetshipS, sustained,
and have recommended an
expression of disapprobation
therefor, on the part Of the
House. This is the end of the
grand farce! John Covode,
who, according to the testimo-
ny of the Radical MlIitary Com
mittee, stands convicted of the
sale and barter of official pat
ronage, is permitted to retain
his seat in Congress, and re-
joice in his corruption. Shame
on the Radical majority in the
House!

Opposed to the Income Tax

A strong memorial against the
continuance of the income tax,
signed by nearly thirteen hun
dred merchants of Pittsburg,
was laid before the Ways and
Means Committee in Congress,
last Saturday. 1t sets forth
that the war tax ought to be
permitted to expire by its own
limitation with the present
year, to be revived only by the
exigencies that called it forth.
They ask for no reduction or
modification, but for an entire
abrogation of the tax, being
convinced from the experience
of the past three years that the
tendency Of this enactment is
to sap the foundation of public
morals, and to weaken the re-
spect of the people for the nee.
essary and salutary provisions
Of the revenue system.

zone party is as bad as an.
other" has become almost a
proverbial saying with certain
men of the Republican party,
who have become sick and dis.
gusted with the corruption that
has made the Republican party
so notorious. This is the only
excuse they offer for still sup
porting and encouraging the
most fragrant abuses ever per.
petrated. But the assertion is
false. Admitting that there
are bad men in every commu-
nifty, facts prove the falsity of
this charge. During the past de-
cade, this government has been
in the almost exclusive of the
Republicans, and the pilferings,
stealings, corruption and prof
legacy in that time, have ex-
ceeded beyond all calculation,
and none other than the Re
publican party can be chargea-
bic. All attempts made by
the Democracy to stem the
current have failed, because of
the overpowering majority
against them.

The Beauty of Radical Rule

Our exchanges from all parts
of the State report the arrest
and dragging off to Cleveland
and Cincinnati of business men,
who, through neglect, igno-
rance of the law, or the rub.
bing off of stamps, sell un-
stamped packages of tobacco,
perfumery, ETC., by Deputy
Marshals or their pimps or
spies, merely for the fees that
will accrue to themselves. The
following which we clip from
the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
gives one of the latest cases:
Henry G. Cary, of Napoleon,
Ohio, sold four cents worth of
tobacco out Of a broken pack
age, which had already paid
one tax. The purchaser prov
ed to be a Deputy United
States Marshal, who arrested
Cary for a violation of the rev.
enue laws, took him to Cleve-
land, one hundred and fifty.two
miles, where he was discharged
on paying the MarShal's costs,
which amounted TO $81,84.
There is nothing like having
the laws obeyed and the FEES
paid with promptness. What
a beautiful government we
have!

new citizens. The trainers of
our Constitution firmly believed
that a republican form of gov
ernment could not endure with.
out intelligence and education
generally diffused among the
people. The father ofhis coun.
try in his farewell address
used this language: promote,
then, as a matter Of primary
Importance, institutions for the
general diffusion of knowledge.
In proportion as the structure
of the government give force
to public opinion, it is essential
that public opinion be enlight,
ened." In his first annual mes
sage to Congress the same
views were forcibly presented,
and are again urged in his
eighth message. | repeat, that
the adoption Of the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution
completes the greatest civil
change and constitutes the
most important event that has
occurred since the nation came
into life. The change will be
beneficial in proportion to the
heed that is given the urgent
recommendations of Washing
ton. 1fthese recommendations
were important then, with a
population of but a few mil
lions, how much more impor-
tant, with a population of forty
millions, and increasing in q
rapid ratio.
[ would, therefore, call upon
Congress to take all means
within their constitutional pow
er to promote and encourage
popular education throughout
the country, and upon the peo-
pie everywhere to see to it that
all who possess and exercise
political rights, shall have the
opportunity to acquire knowl-
edge which will make their
share in the Government a
blessing, and not a danger, BY
such means only can the bene.
fits contemplated by this
amendment to the Constitution
be secured.

The documents found below
which were issued by Grant

explain themselves. We pro
nounce Grant and Fish politi
cal stricksters, who are endeav
oring to subvert the institu-
tions of the country, and steal
the liberties of the people
through deception and trick
cry! The result predicted by
the Democracy when Grant
was elected, has been accom-.
plished through a most villain
Gus system of fraud, bribery,
force and corruption, and every
pledge made to the people by
the leaders of the Radical par
ty has been falsiied.
The amendmenthas not been
adopted according to the re-
quirements of the Constitution,
and Grant sanctions the fraud
by a message which is as false
in sentiment as it is villainons
in design. New York did not
not assent to the amendment
the assent of Ohio and Indiana
was obtained through fraud
and violence to the laws of the
States and the Constitution of
the United States, and we
warn the leaders of the Radi.
cal party, that their works will
return to torment and punish
theml We here say to the niger
who are cutting such fantastic
pranks over the fraudulent rati-
fication Of the amendment, that
no Congressional enactment,
nor any Presidential ukase, nor
villainous Proclamation from
any source or power, can make
them anything but negroes, and
they will be despised or re-
spected according to their con-
duct, and not because they
have the privilege of the bal.
lot.l
