The taxes in this county levied for
the purpose of defraying the ordinary
expenses of the county are low COM
pared with many other counties in the
State, and especially are they lower
than they are in counties where the
County Commissioners are Democrats,
as for instance, in Ross, Pickaway,
Fairfield and Franklin, where they are
enormous. We have, it is true, great
deal of tax to pay, but very great
portion of this is self-imposed; it is
for making free turnpike roads, and
the result is that Fayette County can
boast of having the best roads of any
county in the State, whereas six years
ago we had about the worst roads in
the State. These have not been made
without the expenditure of money, and
they are taxes which the people them
selves asked the Commissioners to
assess upon them. If the taxes are
burdensome one party is not more to
blame for it than another, these roads
were not party measures, they were the
measures of the people themselves, the
measures of all parties, for the benefit
of all and when brother Gould COM
plains of the taxes and tries to make
partisan issue out of them, Le is
doing great injustice to the Democratic
party as well as the Republican Office
holders, for Democrats as well as Re
publicans asked to be taxed to make
these roads, and nobody is willing tc
take what they cost and be placed
back in the mud as they were-siz
years ago. These road taxes are diff
ferent from most other taxes. They are
self-imposed, and they are an invest
ment that adds to the value of ever.
mans farm more than the cost o
making the roads.
Gould, if he had the hohor of
pirate, would be ashamed to grow
about these taxes week after week, a
he does, for no other purpose than t
try to make political capital out of
policy that men of all parties hav
favored.

Hon. n. j. Williams:
DEAR SIR Il fully indorse Mr.. Say
lor's foregoing letter with the qualifi
cation that do not remember to have
myself heard the Democratic members
of the committee on schools, express
their confidence that their brethren of
the House would be satisfied with sec
ton SO Of the substitute. That they
so expressed themselves, Mr.. Saylor's
word is sufficient to establish, and that
they did feel such confidence is suffi-
ciently coincided by the fact that they
all concurred in recommending the
substitute. That section SO gave the
Boards of Education free poa0er to es-
ta5lish and maintain separate coJored
schools aOaS not questioned IN the com
mittee, nor an the House, and why the
substitute was opposed by Democrats
who wished Boards to have such pow
er, they may be, but am not, able to
explain on any reasonable grounds.
Very truly yours,
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1871-09-28

Gould thinks that the writer OF
communication in the HERALD of
week before last, signed Justice y
should have signed it 'Jackass and he
thinks it reads very much as if il
had been written by an Represent
tative. The writer of the article re
fered to, is an ex Representative, who
stands at least six feet high III his
stockings, and has been nominated
for re election, ana is one the most tai
ented and efficient members in the
House. But, Gould, he is no relative
of yours, for he is in no way connect
ed with the jaclSass tribe, hence, your
suggestion as to the signature would
have been altogether inappropriate.

= The Democratic party in Ohio
are determined to prevent the colored
children of the State from receiving
any benefits from the free school sys
tenn of the State, if they can, as is
plainly shown by their vote in the last
Legislature, on Cockerilr amendment
to. the school bill. the effect OF which
was to deprive the colored children of
any of the benefits Of these schools.
This same Cockerill Is the nominee OF
the Democratic party for Auditor OF
State. Should the Democratic party
ever get the power in the Legislature OF
Ohio, they will deprive the colored
people from any benefits of the free
school system They are very willing
to tax them for that and other pur-
| poses, but they will cut them off from
any of the benefits of their taxes.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1871-09-28

Districts So that if in their opinion,
the interests of education in their dis
trict so demand the board of education
under this substitute" would be
authorized and required to assign the
colored children of their district to
school 6y themselves, thus making it
for them a separate school eren though
their number should be less than
t,Centy; which is greater power with
respect to the establishment of sepG
rate schools for colored youth than
boards of education no,0 have under
the present school laws of the State.
Yours,
Thomas D. Crow,
ActinU Commissioner.

said false charge, except euch as. are

herewith given.

DEAR SIR knowing your familiar

quire of you what powers substitute
for House Bill No 496, which was
before the House of Representatives
at it's last session conferred upon the

thority would have been as great as
under the school law now in force

We warn our Republican friends
now, that no strategy that the Dem
ocratic party can devise to defect the
election of Republican candidates to the
State Legislature will be left untried.
For this purpose they will attempt to
disguise themselves, and appear under
false names, as for instance in Preble
county, where they are using every
means their ingenuity can invent to de-
feat the Regular Republican nominee for
Senator. they have organized under
the name of the '.Reform Party,p' and
have nominated what they call IRE
form Ticket" the whole object of
which is to gull and deceive Repub-
licans, and draw their votes from the
true Republican ticket. To carry out
their internal designs, the Eaton Reg
lister of last week say s:
1T would not be wonderful indeed
| if part of the stealings Of Tammary
bad been shipped to this District to
help carry on this very scheme, to de-
feat our State Senator, choose a Demo
cratic Legislature, send Democrat to
the National Senate, re-district Ohio
in the interest of the Democrats, and
thus make Democratic State out OF
this State with 10000 Republican ma
iority, for ten years to come"
There is no telling what use may be
made of money by ring of thieves il
New York City, who are base enougl
to steal sloo,o0o,ooO from the city
treasury. The party as political or
ganization is rotten to the core. Trust
them not.

- Democratic orators and editors
are everlastingly grumbling about the
high taxes, national bankruptcy, etc.
We know the taxes are high, but who
caused the necessity for the present
government debt? We charge it home
upon the Democratic party, that their
miserable management when in power,
and their mean, cowardly subservency
to the rebel element of the slave States
encouraged the South to rebel against
the government; and to save the gov
ern1nent from destruction, it became
necessary to make war upon the enc
mics of the Union. This war could
not be carried on without money, and
to procure the money it was necessary
that the credit of the nation should be
used, hence the present national debt
1t is not strange, however, that par
ty that was willing to stand and sec
the government destroyed by rebels
should be unwilling to pay their por
ton of the debt incurred in the strag
gle to save the government.
