Carpet.Bag Stealing.

We published . few days ago q state.
nrent Of the aggregate debt binding on
the Southern States, showing that it had
been increased since the war closed, uu. .
der carpet bag rule, for which the Radi.
cal party is directly responsible, the enor.
nous amount Of too hundred and tsoenty
sic millions Of dolta,s. There 10 nothing
substantial in the shape of Increased
wealth to show for all this. II has been
simply stolen. This sum gives but
poor idea of the actual burdens the i'm g.
poverished South has been compelled to
bsar. The rate Of county taxation 10
simply incredible, and would not be be-.
lieved, il we had not Official data to 60
upon. Take Mississippi, for instance.
The county taxation assessed IN 1860
was 1884, ,908. In 1870, with an assess
able list Of only 8167. .27s, 1893, against
the sum Of s50s, ,475,9l2, the rate was
S2,170,993. How the people are able to
bear this, seems to Us mystery.
But the case Of Louisiana 10 still
worse, and the work Of pillsge and rapine
seems to have becn carried on without
conscience or stint.
In 1860 tho valuation Of property 10
Louisiana was S435. 787 ,265, and the
county taxation was S440, 1873. In 1870
while the taxable property was reduced
to S2l3,870,26 the parish taxation was
81 .lO9 800.
This is the case with other States
whero the carpet bag thieves are in
power. Is it any wonder that capital
avoids investment in the South, where
taxation amounts to con6scation, or that
we occasionally hear Of q thief being
lyuched? A similar state of robbery in
Ohio, with redress denied at the ballo
box, and the scoundrsls upheld by Fed
eral bayonets, and half the telegraph
poles in the State would bear human
fruit. Ohio Statesman.

Greeley on Grant.

In q recent conference with Mr.. Grin

nois, at Chicago, Horace Greeley thus
declares his opinion
"lf We nominate Grant we shall GER
tainly be defeated. The public will
stand no more horse jockey and present.
taking Presidents we have had enough
of them. 1 tell you, gentlemen, We must
take new departure, and l can assure
you that we Of the Fast are determined

body now " understand ~Let I tliuk.
When We take hold of Grant, it will not
be with silk gloves on our hands. It has
got to DO done. We must throw Grant
overheard or VIC shall be defeated"
Concerning the sort Of candidate that
the Republicans ought to nominate, Mr..
Greeley expressed himselfas follows:
"All I want is to have . good man
nominated, who if elected will consent to
give up the Office at the end of his term
Besides. l want to nominate 4 man who
If elected will elevate tho Office to whore
it was in former days; a man who viii
not take presents or use the military o'
his office holders to advance his own
aspirations for second term, and in the
meantime neglect the interests Of those
whose ruler he is. Besides, want q
man who is above mere pleasure.hunting
man who will not dwaddle away one

him into government Office and showed
him sundry ballot boxes which, having

Among the many instructive incidents
of the Syrrcuse Convention, tlrs oss
which osght to excite the most serious
reflection was the iutroductioM upon it's
platform by Mr.. Surveyos Cornell, st .
turning point 10 the proceedings, Of .
body Of policemen armed ~ivh eIsbs end
revolvcrs.
Il must not 10 forgotten that Nj.
Cornell was oot member Of the Con~en.
ton. BY mere suderanoe only was he on
tho platform at all. By abusing q custoin
which has not yet beeW established, he
was calling roll of the Convention
which he himself had prepared, when all
chat lre had an uadisputcd right to do was
to call it to order.
Waving this point, however, he could
only call the roll in an orderly manner,
and entertain all motions for its corrsc-
ton. Mr.. Waldo Hutchius, = nembe,
Of the Convention, whose seat nobody
contested, made . motion iu respect e
the roll. Cornell refused to hear him
Hutchins, who is always . gentleman
and is one of the ablest lawyers ia
the State, tried to explain. Cornell, with
an unusual pallor overspreading his
moony countenauce, doggedly hammered
away with his gavei, aud told Doty TO &c
on with the cali Of Cornell's roll Of {
Convention of which Cornell aud Doty
we're not members, and Of which Hutch
ins was.
Indignant at this insult to so respecta
ble a citizen ss Mr.. Hutchius, q large
number Of the Convention shouted io,
Hutchins to lake the platform, where b,
could be better heard aud Hutchin,
advanced to do so.
All this time man had been sitting
near Cornell whom nobody seemed L
know. AT a whisper from Cornell thi,
man rose and beckoned with his hand

all that was manly and free in the Con

and Gatling guns Of the regular army.
