Public Opinion, Nov. 10, 1868. -
The next step is TO realize aud act upon the
two following maxims;-
First, il is the sure sign of a fool to accept an
inadequate solution of undeniable facts.
Secondly, TO advance an inadequate solution
of facts SO indisputable as twelve broken ribs
is a sign either of guilt or guilty connivance.
Honest men in Lancashire should inquire who
first put forward some stupid, impudent false
hood to account for the twelve broken ribs of
Wilson. The first liar was probably the homi-
eide, or an accomplice.
Just to prove the Importance 1 attach to this
inquiry, permit me, through your columns, TO
offer reward of e100 to any person or persons
who will give such evidence as may lead to the
conviction of the person or persons who have
killed William Wilson by kneeling on him, by
walking knees downwards upon him, and jump

The increastd q rates of wages for IL 10 I've seen
that the old ratio has not 10y any means been
kept up. SO thut there il no item of gain from
any source to set Fl against the loss above
shown. On the other hand, in the eight years
during which the surface of arabic land was
shrinking by more than II per cent, and
the harvested crops we're diminishing by 20
per cent, hundred thousand laboring men
we're added to the population aud half o
million more mouths TO be fed. The pro.
ductive power of labor was in fact reduced by
40 per cent. IL was the same as if the whole
farming population had agreed in working
only six hours a dey instead of ten. Aud to
corroborate the Ohio statistics comes the
United States Agricultural Bureaus report,
telling that, instead of the 2G, 600, 600 of neat
cattle which the country ut large possessed in
1850 and tho 81, ,OUO 600 we should possess
now, only some 21, 100000 can be counted
to-day; while the loss in sheep has been nearly
30 per cent.
Thus has the arm of productive industry
been palsed by financial quackery and pGrti-
zan trickery, acting under preteuce of pro
tecting industry and encouraging trade.
Contraction cannot save MS now, nor expan-
sion either. OF course, the sooner we get to
specie payments and sure foundation for
the future the better it will be-; but no earthly
power can save us coming down, be it quickly
or slowly, to a very low level. The mischief
is done. The country is poor.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-14

and what wonderfully different attitude he
assumes now Compare the time when the
fenatic Gai rison was barely saved from
hanging ut the hands Of Boston
mob because of his nigeer notions with the
time when the House of Representatives of
the United States votes the use of its hall for
a rhetorical breakdown to celebrate Sambos
accession to citizepship-for only by COM
parison of these periods can any one rightly
Judge of the extravaganza of the delirium
induced by this niger fever. The fever
must burn out soon, for surely it is at its
height, with niger in the Senate and oys-
terman Downing installed as one of the politi-
cal magnates of the capital. In Grants inau-
gu1al we had happy piece of political philo-
sophy to the effect that the best way to insure
the repeal of an obnoxious law was to rigidly
enforce it. This applies generally as well as
in law, and there is no more certain way to
disgust the country and awaken reaction
against the nigger than the glorifying course
assumed by his fanatic admirers.

1T is A FRAUD !
From the N. Y. Sun

From the N. Y. Sun.
What humbug the Citizens Association
isl Established to put down municipal cor
ruption and promote municipal honesty, its
only tangible result is to put its managers
into fat offices under the ring. Mr.. Sands,
the agent of the association, who, we are in
formed, still draws a salary of $4,000 a
year from its treasury, is also tax commits
sioner, with another salary of $4,000 from
the city treasury. Some of Mr.. Sands rela-
tives are also we'll provided for under the Tax
Commission. Mr.. Richard M. Henry, Secre-
tary of the Citizens Association, receiving,
we believe, salary of $500 for that Office,
also has $4,000 from the Tax Commission,
and has just been appointed by Mayor o Hall
as O Commissioner of Docks, with another
salary of $4,000. This is the net profit of the
Citizens Association.
OF course this is earned by converting the
association into a mere appendage and
agency of the robbers of the ring. In re-
turn for such service the new charter leaves
the Tax Commission undisturbed. The
power of the Tax Commission is said to be
also used to keep the members of the Citi-
zens' Association in order. When the Young
Democracy were threatening the very exist
ence of the ring, and it was still uncer-
tain whether the whole Republican party in
the Legislature could be bribed, who was
not astonished at seeing the Citizens Asso-
citation rushing to the defence of the ring
That was the work of Mr.. Sands and Mr..
Henry.
They prepared the manifesto for the
Citizens Association, and what weslthy citi.
zen would refuse to sign such q paper when @
tax commissioner asked for his name? We
are happy to say that many gentlemen had
the courage to refuse; but this fact was moi
made known, and the manifesto was put
forth and had its effect just as if the whole
association had signed it.
Altogether, the Citizens Association is now
a nuisance as well as humbug. 1t is ten
der to Mr.. Tweed, and nothing more 1t is
disgrace to the respectable men who are
still nominally connected with it. But il
they choose to keep up the sham, it is theil
own affair.
