FALSE REPUBLICANISM IN 1870.
The infamous course Of the administra.
ton In exacting a regular per centage
from each Of their employees, to be ex-
pended in electionssring purposes, is a
mere revival, under modern forms, Of the
old pstrician and plebeian system Of Rome.
where, in the day Of Its decay the masses
Of the people were taught to look upon
their votes as n source Of income by the
ofice-holdsrs who bought them, and taxed
the people 70 pay both for the bribc and
the maintenance Of the rulers
In partician style II the
oficiah Of ths United States are paid by

let them b. treated fairly. To levy this
elOctionesring tax on them is, virtually,
either 10 rob the officials, or to tax the peo-
pie for tho maintenance Of certain
opinions and there is nothing more left
to do except to increase the tax-then We
have the old corrupt practices Of fallen
Rome systematized on n scale hitherto IN

LAwLESsNESS IN THE SOUTH

The New York Times, an able Radical
paper, commenting upon the stereotyped
expression, The reign Of lawlessness in
the South, which is used periodically ia
hre the Radical heart, and followed by
sensational stories to effect electioneering
purposes, declares them all TO be Of great
injury to the Republican party, aud often
sive to common sense. But whether il
hurt or helped Republican interests, the
Times urges that we need the truth, the
absolute truth, and not tho highly colored
narratives which AFRO promulgated by mis-
chief.mskers. Thus:
