HON. $. s. cox Ar sACRA1rENrO.

Hon. S. S. Cox delivered a speech at
Sacramento on Saturday evening, the Goth
ult., which is published in full in the
Democrat of that city The Democrat
says it was made before one of1he largest
political meetings ever assembled IN the
city. Mr.. Cox showed up the tariff ques-
tion in such a manner that il could be
readily understood by even the dullest
intellect, and clearly explained how the
tariff oppresses our laboring men and Wo-
men by taxing them for every thing they
use, eat, drink or wear, while their wages
are not increased. We would gladly, had
we room, make copious extracts from the
Democrats report of the speech, but must
be content with the following
But the worst tax you pay is the insid-
ious tariff on all you buy. All that the
consumer uses for shelter, clothing, food
all that makes life comfortable and tolera-
bic, IS taxed by Radical legislation.
When MIR. Brooks, myself and others
moved to limit, the tariff tax on many arti-
cles to 100 per cent, the record shows the
Radical party opposed It, Your salt, fuel
and shoes, your very paper and peanuts,
your needles and steamships, your sewing
machines and picks, your shovels and
plows, your wagon tires and harness, by a
subtle and unjust device, are taxed under
the pretense of protecting industry.
But these Radicals pretend they do not
tax you, because you cannot always see
it. They released the bondholders from
taxation. The have relieved the capital
from taxation, but the great body of the
people are taxed as before. If you could
only see clearly what you pay and when
you pay your taxes, your eyes would be
opened; but the little joker hides under
the thimble.
1t reminds me of your woodpecker here !:
they peck holes in your trees to hide the
acorn for future use; they do not want
the acorn. Oh no. There is worm that
comes into the acorn, and the worm is
what the woodpecker wants. Laughter
and applause The night being very
warm the speaker changed his coat for
light linen one.
Mr.. Cox resumed amid the good nature
of the crowd, which had now filled all the
balconies and the adjacent streetss. He
said:
All these etaxes-taxes-Radical taxesl
Tax on your clothes and tax on your axesl
We are taxed on our matches, our tools and our
rents,
We are taxed on our dollars and taxed on our
cents;
We are taxed on all goods by kind Providence
given,
We are taxed on the Bible that sends US to
heaven;
And II we attain to that heavenly goal,
They would, IL they could, stick Stamp on our
soull
Laughter and cheers.

The result of the election in California
has not surprised US. Governor Haight
was chosen four years ago, and during his
term local question of proposedsubsidies
for railroads was introduced, which has
affected the present election seriously.
Several of the counties through which
these roads were to pass, discarded all po-
litical considerations, and combined against
Governor Haight, who insisted upon max
ing the issue test, and introduced it into
the canvass. He desired to protect the
State against extravagant expenditure,
and has paid the penalty which too often
attends an honest effort to prevent the ac-
cumulation of debt This is the true and
only explanation of a defeat which has no
significance in party aspect.

THERE is a strong probability that
criminal proceedings will be instituted
against Christopher Columbus Delano, for
conspiracy with Tom Scott and Simon
Cameron, to steal the Georgia State Rail-
road Some of the most eminent men in
Georgia have the matter IN hand 1t
would be funny if Governor Hayes should
get rid of one of his Senatorial competit-
ors through the instrumentality of req
uisition. The way Jim Fisk captured
Erie is small circumstance compared to
Delano and Cameron's operations in Geor-
gia. e,.-.

NOT rAMnIANYRuLE.

The Grant Administration, among its
noteworthy achievements, raised lately the
city of Washington and the patch Of
ground formerly known as the District of
Columbia TO the dignity of United States
Territory
The chief magistracy of this nsw-Aedged
Territory was bestowed upon the Presi-
dent of a sandstone company which, ac-
cording to current rumor, had made Gen
eral Grant presentsof stock amounting
to $4,000, and the machinery of govern
ment was set in motion in manner which
forcibly brings to mind the peculiar style
of carpet-bag legislation which has charac-
terized the majority of the reconstructed
States. The Legislature. which is said to
be under the control of corrupt ring of
spectators, during eighty-six working
days passed bills approprating ten mill
ions and half of dollars, averaging more
than one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars for every sitting of three or four
hours The Washington Patriot says that
the existing proposed debt and expendi-'
lures created under the late corporation
and the present Territorial Government
will reach fourteen millions of dollars,
equal to one-ffth of the whole property of
the District upon the assessment of last
year
The reckless manner in which this Leg
islature has squandered the money of the
citizens viii be fully appreciated when it
is considered that, while the Territory
comprises only the small city OF Washing
ton and the much smaller city of George
town, with little thinly settled ground
near by, the public debt has been in three
months of Radical Territorial rule in
creased over ten millions of dollars. 1t is
perhaps unnecessary to say that the lead
| ing officials of the new Territory are
unanimous in the belief that Gen. Grant
will and should receive the Republican
nomination for the Presidency in 1872.
They, one and all, denounce Tammany
rule in New York as terribly corrupt and
dangerous

A TERRIBLE DEED-A MOTHER MURDERS
HERrHREE CHILDREN IN COLD BLOOD.
TOLEDO, September 7.-Mrs. Margaret
Finley, living six miles northwest of Wa
bash, Indiana, murdered three ef her own
children about nine o'clock yesterday fore
noon. One babe she took by the feet and
beat its brains out on Btone. The second,
a child of eight years old, ran out into the
road. She caught it after it had gone
about thirty yards, and cut its throat with
a butcher knife. The Oldest, aged nine
years, she caught and killed in the same
way. She was arrested and lodged in Jail
yesterday morning. She is a widow wo-
man, her husband having died last Feb
ruary. She seems perfectly sane, and
says she killed them to get rid of them

The Republican candidate for governor

The Republican candidate for governor
of Ohio must be wise man. He says:
"They (the Democracy advocate paying
the debt IN gresnbacks. Ny objection to
that is that it is not what we agreed to
pay it in. We agreed to pay it in dollars.
You can not make dollar out of paper
promise to pay"
So, according to Noyes debt paid by
greenbacks is no payment at all. The de-
cisions of Courts. including the Supreme
Court of the United States are different
from General Noyes's opinion. We know
of instances where gold creditors were
compelled to take greenbacks when they
were only worth 40 cents on the dollar.
But we suppose Noyes & company would
say that was all right, but the Bondholder
must have another and better currency,
that is gold.

THE Comptroller of the State of Geor-
gia has published a statement from which
it officially appears that Gov, Bullock Of
that State expended during the year 1870
about 500, 600 for job printing and adver--
tising. The extent to which the people Of
that State have been robbed in this single
item alone may be seen whom it is known
that previous governors expended not to
exceed $1,000 annually for printing of all
kinds. Is it any wonder the taxpayers
of the South are restless under the car
pet-bag government. e

Details OF the Attack on Two AmerI-

Details OF the Attack on Two AmerI.
can Vessels on santa Anna BAr.
NEW YoRK, Sept. IA special from
Galveston states that the Captain Of the
bark Brothers recently attacked by Msxi-
cans of Santa Anna Bar fought with what
few arms the vessel had, and by his report
killed eight in number, but was finally
compelled to take to his boat
The Harvest Home was also attacked
by the Mexicans but her captain was more
fortunate than he of the bark Brothers.
The captain of the Harvest Home was de-
termined not to surrender so long as he
had hand left to WELD cutlass or pull
a trigger and accordingly, prepared for 8
stubborn defense. As the Mexicans pull
ed alongside of his vessel he opened on
them a heavy FIRE of small arms. His
crew fought valiantly, and although the
Mexicans once or twice succeeded IN gain
ing the deck of the Harvest Home, they
were finally compelled to take to their
boats with a loss of eight or ten killed,
and retreated to the shore.

THE Republicans of New Jersey have
nominated Cornelius Walsh for Governor,
on Grant platform. The New York Snn
says of the selection: "Itis nomination
not fit to be made. Walsh has no quail

tom House. The people did not want him,
and won't elect him. Grants ofic- holders
wanted him, but they have few votes, ex-
cept they buy them"
