Phe Cincinnati ComBlereid saws il has doubt t.
less not escaped the minds OF many of our read
ers, that two or three years ago there was fu-
rious howl by private bankers in New York be-
cause Il was found out that only fraction of
the capital in actual use was listed for taxation
The process by which this was done was that a
company of capitalists would organize a bank
with a small nominal capital and then loan ()
the bank the large means on which an enormous
business was conducted and great profits were
realized. Firmness and resolution on the part
Of Mr.. Delano, at that time, overcams the oppo
sition Of the banks to the honest performance of
tie assessors duty. and other taxpayers recog.
niGed the act as right.
II seems now, however, that the amiabie
Pleasonton-how Ally ramed--has decided to re
verse the decision Of his predecessor little act
ofeleverness that will RESULT ia an annual loss
of about ten millions Of dollars to the Govern
msnt. This astute Commissioner must be trying
TO make his mi it,ry chief popular among the
masses by thriving this ten millions per annum
Of Of the shoulders ~ the wealthy hackers Of
small banks, and distributing il among the peo-
pie at large. He has wonderful gift in the way
of capacity to tighten tAxati0n.

CLArToH. ST. LAWRENCE RIVER MY.
FRlEND TIMMoSs As ! promised to give
you little account Of my journey down lh
lakes | will endeavor to do so Taking the
Propeller Akron, one Of the Northwestern Trans
portation Co.'S boats, we passed down Lake
Erie, stopping At Cleveland some ave or six
hours Our next stopping place was Port Cold
borne, Canada, at the month OF the Weland
Ship Canal, not much of place f,r bean y. bu !
owing to the immense business Of the canal has
became quite place ofinportance. The Welland
Ship Canal is 81 miles long from Lake Erie to
Lake Ontario and Of course great fall, having
35 lokcs ~ pass through to make the descent.
The canal passes within seven miles Of Niagra
Falls, aud Cwing 10 the numerous locks and
vessels the passengers have plenty Of time
visit them aud return 10 st. Catherins, which l.
a beautiful town (fOr Csasda) OF alb at o. 900
inhabitants, and quite a Summer sort, owing
IL the shsrt distance to the Falls and Mineral
Spring they have, which is said to cure ell kinds
Of diseases, more especially rheumatism. The
water is very clear but we did not call II very
| pleasant beverage. Az the other end Of the Ca
nal is Port Dalhousie, about the same kind Of a
place as Port Coldborne. From ther, the b, q
passed through Lake Ontario IT, Oswego, then .
10 Cape Vincent at the head Of the st. lawrence
River, then downward passing the Thousand
Islands. touching among the Islands at Clay or
and Alexander Bay, the most celebrated fishing
grounds IN the east a, present. Here we find
people from all the States, stopping to 6sh and
see the beuliful scenery, we think second tn uons
in the country. As We pass among the Islands,
we see here and there some very fine farms and
again = beautiful little cnttags eiecied on some
romantic spot, by some wealthy man to come
and spend the summer and fish in the BLACK
deck looking at the picturesque little Island, W,
hear the ladies eIclaim " beautiful" " lovely,
DC.
Oh what grand river II is here at thi.
point (Clsyton,) it nine miles wide and II Ger
t,ny must be at least 6fteen at the head, for il il
narrower here than that part We have passed
through. Arriving at ogietsburg we find
delightful little town Of three or four Thousand
inhabitants, very handsome streets With flu,
shade trees, anl well watrrrd from the Oswe
gatchie River. So far we have snjnyed the tr
muchiy, having gay time playing gamer
such as Authors, Eucher, &c. The passenger
are very pleasant, aud some of the leading mel

A special to the Cincinnati GdEssn from
Washington says: "At the request of the Mas
sachusetts temperance alliance, Mr.. Young, o
the statistical bureau, furnishes the following
estimate ofthe sale OF liquors In the UniteC
States during the fiscal year ending June 80
1870:
Whisky, 6O,OOO.OOO gallons at seretaiI, $780,
900 900.
Imported spirits, 800 900 gallons at $40 re.
tail, S25, 900, 900.

As proof 0i the correctness OF the above, il
may be stated that during the last fiscal year the

each Tor licenses amounted tn SO $50 900, inhi-
eating that there were l46 900 retailers 0f ia-
uors in the United States. BY including those

The Wood County Ticket.

The Toledo Commercial pays this compliment
:" JOSH NoHsis. Esq, our worthy nominee for
Representative from Wood county:
"ln yesterday mornings Comnereial was pub
llshed the proceedings Of the Wood county Re-
publican Conventions, BY which many Repub-
licans, not residents of that county, we're graft
hed tn lea q that JeEN NORRIS, Esq was, the
nominee for Representative. Mr.. N. is an old
citizen of Perry township, model farmer, and
a most worthy man. No person in Wood county
contributed more li6erslly for the Union cause
during the war than he. His time, his money
and what was more dear to him than all else
beside the blood OF his sons-tes,Red to his
devotion to the Union ana his love for our free
institutions. He is puDlic spirited, kindheart-
ed. and noble specimen of the American Farmer
-intelligedt, upright, sincere and earnest in
every good work. No one more popular with
the masses ofthe people could have been selected
in the country and his election is, of course, GER
tain by large majority. With such Represen.
tAtives as NoRRIs Of Wood, and Thomson, of
Lucrs, in the Legislature, the IA rmers may we'll
suppose their interests will be proberly cared
tor.
Here is what the Toledo Blade also says about
our Wood county nominations:
"Under the new appurIiOnment, Weod county.
for the first time, assumes the position of an in
dependent constituency, having been heretofore
connected with Ottawa, both counties having
now sufficient population to entitle them to a
distinct representation. The Republicans ofthis
gallant and reliable Republican county have
always made a good record about election times
and will continue steadfast to the cause in III,
future. The nominee for Representative is JoHX
NoRRT, Esq, an old resident of the county, and
most intelligent aud pr gressive farmer. He
is familiar with the interests of the AGRICULTURAL
community, and will from his long experience
be able to give intelligent counsel, and satisfac-
tory votes on all questions affecting its interests.
We are glad that so much attention Is paid n
secure full representative of the agriculture
interest in the General Assembly. The rest of
the ticket is julciously made up, and will
doubtless command the full strength Of the party
in Wood county"

Poor Policy.

II seems to be the policy of the new deps
ture' Democracy, at least the moving lights
to adop: principles corresponding as nearly as
possible to those of the Republican party. Re-
publcans want no better confession of the pop.
ularity OF their principles with the people,
They seek to make the difference 50 narrow tina;
they can catch Republican votes, aud yet re-
tain their ranks unbroken with simply the name
Democracy.
To this the Cincinnati Enquirer demurs, and
under the above head has tue following to sa y
in regard to IL;
II would seem to be the extent If the wisdom
Of some Democratic journals and Democratic
politicians 10 have their party platform c"me
as near as possible to that Of the Republican
without exactly being the same almost alike as
two peas, except that one may have Ia IL u black
speck made by a fly or something else, while
the other has none. They do not seem n clm =
prehend that unless the party out Of power can
present principles and measures superior, aud
sharply antag0nstc to those Of the party in
power, the people will not tear their shirts to
put one out and the other in. lfthere is to be
little or no difference in measures aud policy #
the two parties, why turn the country upside
down merely to make a change of persons
The principles and measures of the two
parties should be marked in their antagOnisn,
or their contests become merely personal, in
which case very little enthusiasm can be count
ed on in political contest, Dsregarding this
fact there are Democrats who seek to put cut of
sight that whichis really and distinctively anita
gonistc to the principles aud measures of the Re-
publican party, and yet as near to the platform
Of the latter as is possible without over Tapping
ii We tell all such Democrats that they are
going to win by no such policy. The Democrat
ic party. TO succeed must present princip els
and an administrative policy different and su.
perior tn those OF the party in power. We think
ihe line of demarcAtion is broad aud deep, but
that does not seem Ia be the case in the opinion
of certain Democratic Journals and politicians.
or it they do think AS we do, they want the line
never has conquered aud never wi n succeed by
anv such timid. fiat and weak policy.-Ciefa
