For Tax Payers to Think
about.

The Washington Rdtriot pub
lished an article, some time ago,
which should claim the attention
of every taxpayer in the country,
no matter what may be his or her
political sentiments and we give
at toour readers, without comment.
That paper said:
"The President of the United
States honored this, bis winter cap
ital with a visit yesterday, and,
alter hasty breakfast, was among
the early and punctual visitors at
at the Treasury to receive his sal
airy, it bling pay day. He has
now been absent exactly three
months, commencing with the first
Of June, but proposes to remain
away until the beginning of Oc-
tober. Daring this time he has
drawn from the Treasury S6,250,
and has passed parts Of three
days in Washington, or at the
rate of one day per month, fer
which he has received the compen-
sation of Sl,0SS day. In other
words, Gen. Grant, for signing bis
name during these rare visits, has
pocketed the wages Of L, 400 labor
ing men who work ten hours and
receive 81, so each. So that it il
something to be President in q
practical point of view, when the
incumbent gets $4,000 year fol
amusing himself, and is presented
with bonds, houses, and horses tc
the extent Of half million. Nc
wonder be seeks a reelection.

tress:ng and leave no room 20
doubt the guilt of the fiends. The
final result was that 500 indignant

dead. And We don't wonder that
they did 50. We ony wonder
that the brothers Of the injured la

Ike The contrast between the
Radical and Democratic State
Conventions of New York is worth
noting. The Radical Convention
was packed with roughs and pc
licemen, by the Grant wing, who
assailed The Greeley delegates, and
,lisgraced the meeting by terri.
bic row. The Democrats settled
their differences before the Conven.
tion began, and everything moved
off quietly, no roughs or police.
