BLESSINGS OF REPUBLIcANIsM-Th The Cincinnati
Enquirer colates few Of the blessings confer
red upon the country by Republican legislation
and Republican administration of affairs. AL
most every law relating to finance or commerce,
imposing taxes or duties, has been SO framed as
to bear oppressively upon the poor, while they
favor the rich in exact proportion and besides
they are SO bunglingly or dishonesty admins
tered as to be rendered doubly oppressive and
odious. The Enquirer says: r..G Boo .roii
/. The Government is paying $50 O00O,o 900 per
year for the National Bank currency, when it
could issue greenbacks for nothing.
g. The Federal Government has power to tax
the bonds the same as other property 10 taxed.
This would yield revenue of over $4,000 per
year, and save the people the tax on coffee, su-
gar, tea and salt; but Republican Congress has
refused to do it.
5. Under the law as IL stands, the ten-forty
bonds are payable in gold. and the dve-twenties
in greenbacks, but tho Republicans have agreed
to pay them both in gold, thus adding 5000, ,O0O,-
600 to the amount to be paid by the people.
4. The Government is now paying q dollar
and twenty-five cents on the dollar for overdue
bonds that are redeemable at par, which is sim
ply steang-no more nor less.
8. The present high protective tariff taxes
goods not upon their 7alue, which is the only
fair rule, but upon their measurment and weight.
Thus the great burdens of Government are laid
upon the poor who consume the cheap articles.
The Democratic tariff was ad raiorem, and not
specific. si 81. rne ae
6. Upon every article which comes in from
abroad-tea, coffee, sugar, salt, clothing OF all
sorts, lumber, spices, jewelry, articles of luxury
and nccessity-there is now levied, on the aver
age, the monstrous duty of forty-four per cent,
gold. Under an economical Democratic Admin
istration ten to fifteen per cent. would be sufi-
cient.
7. The war closed in April 1865 more than
four years ago. In that time there has been col
l.cted from the people taxes amounting to over
s., 900, 100000 This if applied on the national
debt would nearly have extngushed it, and
yet, as it appears from the Official reports, the
debt was larger September lst, 1869, than it was
on September lst, 1865 What has the Repubi.
can party done with $4,000 ,OOO, 900 since the
war? sHl eHrs ra"w HHi
s So entirely is the Republican party under
the domination Of New England that it allows the
Yankee fisherma to have his salt free of duty
for packing Goldfish and mackcral, while the
Western farmer and dealer, who packs beef and
pork, have to pay a duty of Ito per cent on that

MURDER AT A WEDDING.-At we'd
ding in Texas, October 81, man and a
young woman were murdered. The story
is told by a local paper: "On Thursday
night, while a party was assembled at
the residence of Mr., Hargreave in Reeds
prairie, Grimes county, to attend the
marriage of Mr., Hargreave's daughter,
and few moments after the ceremony
had been performed company of sol
diers, in pursuit of some one supposed to
be there, surrounded the house and
demanded its surrender. Mr.. Hargreave
offered to surrender the house and every
one in it, and went out to the captain of
the squad The report is that while Mr..
Hargreave was out, a pistol in the hands
ola young man went off accidentally. The
soldiers in the house Immediately opened
fire. A Miss Russell had just stepped
upon gallery, when she was hit in the
head by minnie ball and in the leg by
a buckshot, and instantly killed. Rolla
Pearce and Mrs ARTERY were wounded
With the first shot the gentlemen in the
house started every one to lie down flat
upon the floor. But for this many more
lives would have beenlost The groom
and several others were arrested and car
ried off.

l have compiled q full. concise and complete
statement, plainly printed, for the information of
persons intending to take up Homestead or Pre-
emption in this portion Of thewest, embracing To-
wa, Dakota, and NebraSka-and other sections.
1t explains how to proceed to secure 100 acres of
Rich Farming Land For Nothing, six months be-
fore you leave your home, in this most healthy
climate. In short it contains just such instructions
as are needed by those intending to make home
and fortune on the free lands of the west l will
send one of these guides to any person sending me
25 cents The Information alone, which it gives
is worth $500 to any body. Men, who came here
two and three years ago, and took farm, are to-
day independent.
TO YOUNG MEN-This country is being cross.
ed with numerous railroads, reaching from every
direction to Sioux City Iowa six railroads will
be completed to this city within one year One is
already in operation, connecting us with Chicago
and the U. p. Railroad, and two more will be COM
pleted before spring, connecting us with Dubuque
and McGregor, direct. Three more will be com
pleted within year, connecting us direct with St.
Paul, Mimi, Yanktown, Dakota, and Columbus
Neb. on the q. P Railroad The Missouri River
gives us the Mountain trade. Thus it will be seen
that no section of country offers such unprecedent-
ed advantages for business, speculation and max
ing fortune. For the country is being populated
and towns and cities are being built, and fortunes
made almost beyond belief Every man who takes
homestead now, will have railroad market at
his own door. And any enterprising young man,
with small capital can establish himself in Der-
manert and paying business if he selects the right
location and right branch of trade. Eighteen years
residence in the western country, and alarge
portion Of the time spent Mercantile gent in
this country, has made me- familiar with all the
branches Of business and the best locations in this
country.-For one dollar RENTED to me, I will

A London fog was recently so dense that it
found its way into the theatres, and almost
put stopto the performances. In the larg-
er houses, the audiences in the dress circle
and box farthest removed from the orchestra,
could scarcely discern the movements of
actors on the stage; while at the smaller
theatres, dimness as of a fine gauze hung
between them, rendering the effort to follow
the performance somewhat wearisome.
