the county tr~casurcrs. The old sys-
tenn of collecting annual taxes is I'M
doubtedly the best The disburse
ment of the amounts raised for bridge,
township and other purposes early in
the year would keep more money in
circulation. The expense of collect
ing and disbursing the same would be
vastly less, and thus, the people would
be relieved from their present embar-
easements. In looking over the de-
linquent lists of the various counties
in the Statewe are amazed at 1.-THE length
of the lists. So far as we have observ.
ed, the crops this year have been ex
cellent. Why then these pinching
times among real estate owners, and
why is all the money being boarded
in the great centers, by the bankers
and money-kings, while the agricul.
tural States are suffering?

More Capitalization.

The tendency of this government
has been steadily toward centraliza-
ton ever since the radical party OBJ
tanned power. The last step in this
direction. is in the form of a PROPOSE
ton to organize a bureau OF mining
under the treasury department. Its
objects are to be the subSid.Zi = IF
mines Of the precious metals i'll am 'un:s
not exceeding s25O,0O0 to any one
mine, to the extent of twenty-five
millions of dollars a year the dircc-
ton of the management and working
of such mines by the government !;
and the sharing 4 portion of their net
proceeds during the period Of such
subsidy and government direction. In
short, the United States government,
if this bill should pass, will 60 into
the mining business on shares.
The proposed bureau is to lie un,ler
the control of an officer, who is t. +. =
ceive a salary of ten thousand dollars
a year, and be known rs the thief of
the mining bureau. Subordinate 10
him will be five chiefs of division, at
salaries of seven thousand five hun
dred dollars each, with deputies n,
five thousand, clerks ut two thousand,
and messengers ut II thousand dol,
lars each. These officers constitute
tho executive cnrp-, and will be sta
toned at Washington. The field
corps will consist of attorneys, inspec.
tors in the several mining states, at
salaries OF five thousand dollars each.
assisted by associates, who are to re-
ceive half that sum per annum.
Among other complicated features
of this measure is the establishment
of n division of law which is to attend
to the ligitation of the bureau. Now we
would like to have some friend of this
measure explain to us the object sought
to be attained by the passage of this
gigantic swindle. That it is wholly
uncalled for no SANE porson will deny,
and that il car benefit NJ person but
the individuals who are running the
machine, is equally plain. Besi.les it
is wrong In principle and theury, and
opposed TO tlte idea upon which our
form of government is based.
AS well might congress establish a
department Mt Washington for the
mining of coal, and force all our coal
merchants out of bu>iness; rs well
might it raise turnips aud cabbage I'm
der the supervision of n government,
bu eau, or do any other sort of libor.
We have only called atten ion to
this hill now; at u future time we will
have a word to say about its author.

recent election. Mr.. Schurz, wanted
to stop the slaughter of his friends,
and cried for peace, but it could only
be had after this batch of his friends
were politically headless. The Senator
cannot in honor and respect to him
self and his friends, after making
such offers of concilliation as he did
to save them, consider himself bound
in any way, to the organization which
has treated him so vindictive)y. The
Senate will act with Mr.. Schurz, as
they did with Messrs Cowan, Dixon.
and Doolittle, and MIR. Schurz, needs
must go where, 1 think, his judgment
already points, but it is q hard thing
to leave ones party and few men do
so lightly. Mr.. Schurz's speech indi-
Gated that he rebels almost in toto
against Radicalism as it exists to day
and with the insult of yesterday it
would not be surprising if he fonnd
himself and his many friends in the
ranks of the Democracy in a very short
time.

The Income Tax.

Congress IS agaiR in a worry oyer the
income tax. Petitions are being sent in
desiring its repeal. We have always been
the friend Of the 4Ehoring m and have
detested every feature ofthe income law be-
cause of its inqrSsitorial character, and ma
king public the private affairs of men. But,
since the asacant of income has been ex-
tended fr beyond the laboring masses, and
is MANLY confined to the bondholders and
money sharks, we are less anxious to have
it repealed. While the burthens bear upon
those who have reapt nearly all the bene-
fits of the Greenback and Bond systems, our
voice is, let" 'em bear it." 1t is about
time the load should be shifted from the
shoulders of the people, and placed upon
the nonopolists, the land thieves, and the
Treasury eaters. We don't care a snap
whether the income law is repealed or Tot.

The Campaign.

Attempting to s'cook q rabbit be-
fore it was caught" was what brought
the Democracy of New Jersey to
grief last fall. Several Democratic
leaders of that State entered the held
for U. S. Senator, and engaged in a
fight with each other, instead OF the
Republicans, who, by Democratic dis
sensions, carried the Legislature. 1t
would be absurd for the democracy
of Ohio to single out that man III this
one for U. S. Senator before we elect
a Legislature that could elect him.
Let the party bend its entire energies
to elect a majority of the General As.
sembly ; then let the Senatorial race
begin, and may the best nag win
Any other course will prove suicidal.
Plain Dealer.
The prospect for a Democratic vic
tory has not been brighter for many
years 1t is amazing that this splen-
did opportunity should be. east away
by the petty jealousies of rival can
didates for the Senate or any other Off
cial position. 1t Is related by a cele-
DRAFTED Jewish historian that when the
Beman batteriug rams were not pull
verlzing the walls of the city, John.
Judas and Simon, three of the lead
ing defenders of the Holy City, were
fighting each otherl Thus, in the
end, the city was destroyed by dis
sessions within its own gates. While
we are fighting the enemies of consti-
tutional liberty, let our Democratic
leaders bury their animositiss and per-
sonal ambitio ns, until our adversaries,
at least, surrender their opposition TO
a victorious Democracy. The per,
sonal claims of the leading chiefs of
our party, will always be remembered
by the people. Let all work harmo-
niously, that the great Democratic
party may again rule the country,
and correct the evils which now affiict
a disheartened people.

Darwinis1n.

Some years since, Mr.. Darwin, an
educated Englishman, wrote and pub
Iished a book devoted to the discussion
of what is termed by him, "rhe origin
of species, or progressive development.
The work attempted to adduce phe-
nomena under what he calls the law of
selection, to show tn at physical devel-
opment has always been advancing in
all sentient beings. In other words.
that oil animate beings have developed
in process of time from the lowest
orders. The theory is, that there has
been no distinct creative energy evin-
ced by the Supreme Being, but that
all animate existence is the result of
certain laws and forces put into
activity by his eternal fiat, which have
gone on improving OF the original.
from age TO age, as the maehinist pol
ishes and prepares crude metals. A
large number of experiments have
been made upon pigeons, by selecting
those of certain p~eculiarities, which
were transmitted until the birds seem
ed to constitute a separate class. This
leads Mr.. Darwin, to infer that by
selection, and constant development,
men may have, in a series of ages, de-
veloped from the Monkey, the Orang
or the Chimpanzee-hands, feet, up
right position, all developing and per,
fecting by use and desire. The brain
charging. as want, cunning, self pro-
lection and the like developed it
Now, we have a new work by the same
author, in which it is attempted to be
shown that the new theory is not in
conflict with a just idea Of the SUI
preme Being, or of Christianity. In
this idea, an exchange, says Mr.. Oar
win, is joined by Rev. DIR. McCosh,
an orthodox minister, and u Professor
in Princeton College New jersey.
The work will be published by the
of New York. Its appear
in print will excite new discus
sion among the learned.

Taxation,

Is there anything wrong in our
present system Of taxation : 1t seems
to us that the semi-annual collection
of taxes is manifestly wroug. Why?
1t keeps boarded in our County and
State treasures many millions Of dol
Jars that should be kept in active cir
eulation. The volume of National
exrBen,y at this time is certainly large
enough to produce, if put into circula-
ton, a plathora Of money. Yet, we
find that osr farmers and others are
pressed to meet their taxes. When
once in the treasury, it lays as dead
capital until the tax gatherer comes
againi Long before that period the
drag-net of Uncle Samuel, will pass
among the people akingnew demands
for more money! Thus, it would
seem that the chief business of the
people is TO pay tax-tax, forever
The present system is much more ex-
pensive, because two sets of duplicates
have to be completed and two annual

States & Union.
The Legislative proceedings of
this week are of Lut little Importance.
While a large number of bills were in
troduccd, and many resolutions offered,
there have been but few bills of any
importance passed. When it is re-
membered that about three fourths of
ali The bills and resolutions are killed,
and that it requires more time to kill
a bad measure than il does to pass a
good one, it will account for m2ch OF
the time wasted in ~leglslating.
The bill authorizing County treasu-
rers to deposit money in banking as.
sociatIons is now in the Finance com
mittee. This bill authorizes county
treasurers to loan money to banking
associations at four per cent. interest,
when secured by a like amount OF
United States or State bonds. AS
there are some tw~enty-four millions
of fakes collected each year, * is claim
ed that one fourth of this sum can be
constantly kept on deposit, and thus,
the interest thereby obtained, would
save that amount to the people, and
in addition greatly aid business men
by making money more plentiful
At first view this may seem plausible;
but when it is considered that any
banking association is to receive de-
posts, and as they pay but four per
cent, interest, and lend it at about
ten, thereby making six per cent. and
only six millions being kept on hand,
the bonus to the banks would be $3.50,
600 per annun! And this is done to
permit the'people to use their own
money under the guise of reform !
Such. reforms, should condemn their
authors to the e%xecrations of an in
