BEFORE election it was charged that the
''paper credit report was kept back because
of its damaging revelations. Since that time
little has been heard of it, yet any one who
desired might obtain a copy for perusal at
least. 1t constitutes quite volume, but like
other stupid books one gets weary of it very
soon. 1t is only worthy of preservation, from
the fact that it contains some Of the glowing
letters and the last ornate and glittering sem
fences of an aspiring statesman or two that
it has brought to an untimely political grave.
These literary mementoes of the defunct, and
these only, will keep the edition from the

A SOP TO REGULATORS,

As IN evidence Of tie imrrobaL:.ity of
reputation ia these latter days, it is only
necessary to watch the efforts that are row
making with considerable show Of sue
cess, TOTO obtain payment from tie
United States for a debt that was con-
tracsed by the confederate government in
interest OF the rebellion against the Union.
Certain English capitalists hold a species
OF paper which was negotiated to them
for the purpose Of providing means to
destroy the Union, and now they ask the
United States to pay debt which was
contracted in order to effect her destruc-
ton. If such debts As these can be Eeld
Oh to with show Of having them paid,
what reason is there for any n.an to forego
the prospect of obtaining all that be may
demand from tie State? The truth is,
the demand for reputation is a mere
speculation to reduce securities in order
to buy them up

TAXATION.

Our ne;shbor, the Tines, is death on
taxation; and Yet, i'll our opinion, the
heaviest tax that is imposed on our teople
is that which extracts from each iLliyi-
du...s purse ten cents day for a copy of
that paper. To be taxed thirty six dollars
and fifty cents a year per head for the per-
nic:ous teachings of the T;1aes is the acme
of the tyranny of taxation to q people.
And this oppressive tax is wrung from
the people in sneak-thief way that
would make them believe they are receiv-
ing full value for their money thus ex-
pended. The lessons of.the Times created,
perhaps, more than any other paper the

necessity Tor the establishment Of ~ hon
est Republican paper in this city. When
that paper was first issued, like tie wolf
i'll Sleeps clothing, it pretended to advo-
cate the cause Of the onion and success
ful prosecution of the war against an un-
just rebellion; but it soon became mani
fest that it was not honest in this preten-
sion, and that it had other objects than
the public interest to subserve.
Instead Of endeavoring to reconcile the
Southern people to the course of the
Washington government and the justice
of its cause, it became the exponent of
the most intense Southern feeling 1t did
this under the cover Of being faithful
ard loyal to the Union, and it grew fat
on double dealing. publishing grape
vine news and pandering to a Southern
hatred OF Union men, the Tines soon
bore of the palm against tie tsuest and
oldest papers, that stood up manfuily and
consistently for what they deemed South
ern rights. And after the war was over,
and when it became necessary that mod
Grafton should sway the minds of the
people in order that peace and prosperity
might once more crown them with their
blessings, tie Times become the ardent
advocate of a policy that was calculated
to breed anew sectional strife. knowing
that it had built itself up by hattering
tie Southern people and pretending to be
their honest champion, it urged a
course Of reconstruction that could not
be accepted in any other portion
Of tie Union than the South, as it was
calculated to bring the very men back
Into ro.itica. power who had advocated
and fought for the right of secession. Be
cause tie Republican party would not &C
cei,t Of this policy-the policy Of Pres
iient Johnson-the Times began to see
that the Southern people We're terribly
oppressed; and by echoing the fiery ap-
peals of the Hotspurs Of the South it
stirred up terrible feeling of prejudice
and hatred among the people that gave
rise to a mode of reconstruction that |
might otherwise have been obviated. The |
adoption Of the three amendments to the |
constitution, and the passage of the recon-
st-uction laws could not he expected to
please the Times, and it did not fail to make |
all the capital it could by opposing them.
Its columns teemed with abuse of the |
government and the Republican party,
and the Southern people taught to regard |
men settling here from other sections of |
tae country as vile carpet-baggers, and the
State government established under the |
laws as carpet-bag gov
eminent.
