Dissolution.

Dom Piatt, the Radical Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, thus disposes of the cor
rupt Party that has been eating out
the vitals of the taxpayers of the our
try. The people will concur in every
word of it.
"The partnership heretofore exist
ing between the honest men and the
rogues is hereby dissolved, and every
man is left to go his own political
way. unquestioned. Greeley, Grant
and company, will settle up and close
the concern. Tho late Republican
party is the deadest dead thing above
ground, and if the surviving friends
wish to retain for it any feelings of
respect they will hasten its funeral"
Dom Piatt, though formerly a thor
g ough- bred Radical, since he has been
tarrying at the Federal Capital, in the
midst of the rottens, has discovered
that call is not gold that giitters."
81 Having taken look behind the
screen he stands aghast at the specta-
Gle, and declares it is time for the fu-
neral to take place, lest the offensive
.odors of the Republican corpse be-
come pestilential. Let it be buried.

How They Know The Yankee.

An American traveller tells this
story of his foreign experience:
One day last fall, in company with
an eminent clergyman OF London, L
was making my way towards the
Thames Tunnel, when We were stop
ped by an itinerant vender of pictures
who seemed to know nv companion.
"Buy some of these pictures of the
public buildings of London, sir ?" said
he, land you can give them to your
American friend to take home with
him."
l was in a hurry, but my wonder
ment would have stopped me if l had
been running to a fire.
"How in creation did you know I
was m American ?" I asked.
"Why / couldn't mistake that the
picture seller replied, with a quiet
laugh. "You're American all over"
purchased a picture, and then
asked him to explain himself.
ST would know You by your soft
beaver hat," he said. That's an
American fashion,"
"Weil-if it were not for that ?"-
He glanced down at my feet.
Your boots would beuray you
Nobody but Americans wear square
toes"
"Well-what else ?"
"Yorr chin w!riskcrs. English
men always wear mutton-chop style"
"Wcli-anything m ire p
eff you don't be offended, sir"
"Not at all sir ; L am seeking for
information"
81 should know you by your thin,
peaked face"
"Well, my FRIEND" I said, 81 fancy
you are at the end of your catalogue
now Suppose that 1 wore a stiff
high crowned hat, round-toed boots,
mntton-chopped whiskers, and had a
face as red and chubby as any Brit
ain-would you be able to know me
for an American then 2"
"Certainly 1 should. as o as 1
heard you speak," the fellow triumph
antly answered. "You Americans
invariably commence every sentence
with a we'll"
My English friend laughed long
and loud at the mans adroitness.
Il believe he Is more thrn half
right he suiI. See if your nation
atty is not detected anywhere yoI 60"
1t was even so In Paris | was
importuned to buy Il photograph OF
Lafayette, because he was "ze friend
of re Americans" In Genoa a dirty
vaoobond was clomorous To exhibit TO
me the house where Columbus was
born, because he discovered "the
signor's great countree ;" and at Alex.
andria the climax was capped by a
ragged LITTLE descendent of the Phar-
oahs, who besought him to take a
ride On his donkey. Strong donkey
donkey-nice Yankee Doodle
was the irresistible appeal,
in the only English words he knew.

Taxation.

At the State Democratic Convention
recently held in Columbus, a resolu-
ton vas adopted, with great unanim-
ity, looking to a change in the mode OF
collecting the government tax in Ohio.
That resolution takes the ground, that
the various branches of taxation impo-
sed upon our people, can be collected
just as efficiently, by the officers elect
ed in the various counties, to levy and
collect State and County taxes. and
for half the expense they are now
collected by the official appointees
quartered upon the people by the gov
ernment- By such a change, the lie,
gions ofgovernment officers, with high
salaries, who are preying upon the in
dustry of the country, would be dis
pensed with, and compelled, like other
men, to engage in the active pursuits
of life. So long as such offices exist
under the law, men will necessarily be
found to fill them, and no blame can
attach to them personally, ifthey faith
fully and impartially discharge their
duties. The true policy is, to abolish
all unnecessary offices to retrench bur-
thensome expenses. In many of the
counties of this State, there is scarcely
enough venue collected to pay the
salaried officers appointed to place,
because they are expected to carry a
township or control some cross roads
gathering of people, and induce them
to vote the Republican ticket, Ii the
national debt is to he paid, let Ohio
know her share, and then, on the
score of economy, let her regulate its
collection, and by SO doing, double
the amount will be saved eacn year.
The whole system is Objectionable and
unfair in its operations. 1t leads to
spying and espionage. MI. Greeley,
is compelled to admit that it is corrupt
ing and d~emoralizing, and that it has
caused dishonesty, roguery and per
jury. Let us have n chango-let rs
reduce the rnmber of the tax-eaters,
and increase u ability to meet the
proper expenses of government.

The D. -Nothins Policy of consress

There has never been since the or.
ganizaticn of our government, n body
of men so lost to every sense of decen-
cy, prosperity and regard for the in
terests of their constituents, as the
body now in session at Washington
called Congress. There is hardly a
Republican paper in the country that
dare risk its reputation for truth and
honesty by defending it. Composed
of a two thirds Republican majority,
the last seven months have been spent
in wrangling as to who was the great.
est scoundrel in the pack. Investiga-
ting committee after investigating
committee have been in session, con-
sidering charges of bribery and cor
ruption made against members. Uc,
casionally a poor devil like White
more has been made an example of,
and SEM home in disgrace, while
scores of men a hundred times more
guilty escape, and become the origin
tors and controllers of legislation of
the most disastrous kind to tue peo-
pie. 1t would matter but little how
much members of Congress call each
| other thieves, robbers and scoundrels,
were it not for the fact that the peo-
pie have been leo to expect some kind
of Legislation having a tendency to re-
love them from their financial troub-
les, brought about by the almost un-
bearable rate of taxation under which
they are suffering. The New York
Times, in an article on the effect of
the do-nothing policy of Congress,
has the following, which is true to the
letter, 1t says; "The country has
boon kept in a state of nervous uncer-
tainty, and almost every branch of bu
siness enterprise has been held in
check. The consequences is that a
whole business season has been lost to
our manufactures and merchants, and
and the capital of the country, failing
to find profitable employment in legit
innate channels, has either been divert
ed into speculation, or has accumula
ted in the great money centers through
sheer torpor of business. tits Impes-
sible to calculate the loss which has
resulted to the country from the APP
parent indifference of Congress. 1t

rent profits, but it has permanently
deranged business connections, and
has forced hundreds of inividuals and
firms to retire from the field because
they were not strong enough to go
througe the period of stagnation."
And yet the men who represent in
the House this burdensome system of
taxation, the leaders af the protection
lists, who would not hesitate at plac-
ing any burdens upon h people, un
der the specious plea of n%urturing
home industry; who stand up in Con
gress and champion special interests,
which put millions into the pockets of
fat corporations, at the expense of the
people, with an honest penny or two
into their own-these men have the
impudence to ask their constituents to
return them to Congress And by

OHIO ITEMS.

Christian Snyder, who was robbed
and horribly mutilated near Loudon-
vile, recently, is srill alive and hopes
are entertained o! his recovery. A
reward of five hundred dollars is offer
ed FOR the arrest and conviction of the
perpetrators oil the inhuman outrage.
On Wednesday night, about II
o'clock, Aaron Crop, an engineer at
McVay q Allison's Lumber Yard,
had his left arm and both legs crush
ed by the S, NJ. & N. freight train
going south. 1t appears that he had
been intoxicated and fell across the
track helpless, ut the corner of Rib
Its coal yard, and was doubtless lying
there when the 1852 train came along.
He was found by two strangers, and
taken to his residence near by, where
he died the next day. He had been
during the war, a member of the 9th
o. ", and leaves a wife sand three
children.-ShieM and Banner.
Mr.. N. l.. Hazen was found, on
Tuesday morning, in his room, in the
Carpenter Building, on High street in
Columbus quite dead, having shot
himself with a pistol, which he still
held in his right hand. He was a
young man not over 23 years. of age,
formerly from Cincinnati, and has for
some time been connected with the
brush factory there. His mother and
sister live in Cincinnati, and his re-
mains have been taken there for burr
al. He was one of the attendants at
the recent Lanman-Kelse wedding,
which was so m~agnificently brilliant.
He was a young man of correct hab-
its, and was very highly esteemed
His early death has cast a gloom over

o'clock, three boys were playing with
a loaded gun lear the Buckeys shops
when it was discharged. and its con-
tents lodged in the breast of a boy
named Koplin, abont 16 years old,
killing him instantly. This is anoth-
