BY doing that, their board will cost

Men from both places are here every

new buildings. Marion. with only
one rail road, offers to fix up the old
buildings. expanding thereon $4,000.
Most Of the tax payers are willing to

Slave act, which struck down not on
ly State rights, but the very liberties

We have not taken the position
That those who supported that act
cannot changc,-but we have taken
the position that the portion Of the
Democratic party which is opposing

shown no evidence of change OF heart

So far as heard from, the Liberals

any, consolation from elections

was no practical division On political
issues, much was hoped to DO gained.

A Challenge.

The Liberal is greatly troubled on
account Of some criticism we felt
called upon to administer to speech
delivered at Toledo, August "a, by
John T.. Irish. In that criticism, we
paid some attention to the history Of
the Democratic party in reference to
Capitalization" The week follow
ing, the Liberal franticalIy shouted
that we mo ,chere pretended to deny
that the Republican party is guilty as
charged in this respect by Mr.. Irish.
Now, we greatly fear that our con
temporary's habit Of expecting pos
tive denial of every unsubstantiated
charge, has become chronic. We
paid the strictest attention to the el-
oquent speech Of Mr.. Irish, and we
have read clearly every line of edito.
rial in the Liberal since Its "born
days numbered one, and we have
not seen word from either special.
y designating wherein the centraliz
ing tendency Of the Republican party
has been. manifest. We remember
that nearly all the opposition press
and speakers point the slow, unmov-
ing finger Of scorn to the Hu Klux
acts, as violations Of rights belonging
to the States, but We disremember
to have heard or read word that
points ont the particulars of these
violations. Surprising that tho LIB.
ern! and John p. Irish should both
affirm that the provision If the Con-
stltution forbidding that money
shall be drawn from the treasury but
in consequence Of appropriations
made by law" had been violated by
the present administrations, would
the Liberal expect us to show that
such affirmation was untrue, before
the first specific act IN violation of
that provision had been pointed out !?
Does the Liberal expect us to prove ;
negative?
Now, Though we have paid more
attention 10 some other nort,ons Of
our political history than the history
Of the Ku Klux legislation, yet, it the
Liberal will specifically state Wherein
that legislation IS a tendency to cen
tralization we will undertake to say
something about it. Now, do MT
"beat the burh" with general state.
rnents, but give US logical, lawyer.

We are aware that most of our
readers regard a personal war be.
tween papers with great deal Of
disfavor. Tho REPUBLICAN is unable
TO keep out OF such q contest alto
gether. AS The Liberal seems to be
conducted on tho personal" basis, it
has provoked us into . notice of its
many references to US.
Hoping that our readers will re-
mcmbe! that we do not indulge in
this warfare often, we ask them in
diligence during this campaign, after
which we can DO at peace AGAIN
let US have peace"

The Liberal IS happy over the an
nounccment that tho new constltu.
ton Of West Virginia was defeated,
including the odious clause prohibit:
ing rigorous from holding Office. The
Liberal, however, forgot q to: state
that this constitution, with this odl-
GUS clause, was framed by a conven-
ton, OF which about four.R.t this were
Democrats. Then. is it q fact that
That clause was the only odious one,
and tho only one that CAUSED the de.
feat of the constitution Does our
contemporary know?

fee of Tama county, wherein an &C.
count is kept with the township

The law requires, we believe, an
annual settlement with the Auditor.
Mr.. S. has never made any settle
ment. He may have received large
or small sum from his predecessor in
office. The record of the township
clerk showed last Tuesday the fol-
lowing receipts in Mr.. Stivers' favor,
viz:

There is a memorandum on the
same book like this: cpd Luke
Wells per order, s1s.75." Mr..
Stivers was ordered to pay to differ
ent parties, as the Clerks record
shows, about $4,000. It also shows,
in his own handwriting, that in addi-
ton TO the amounts above received
by him from Co. Treasurer, he re.
ceived the sum Of 4121.l0, Oct. II,
1867 from VIM. Higgins, who was
ordered to pay it to Mr.. S. by the
Trustees. The account then, allow.
ing Mr.. Stivers for $4,000, for which,
as yet, he has not produced vouch-
ers, stands thus:

II this sum has been properly paid

Why is ,t.that the proper authorities
have neglected to enforce settle
ment? Is one man so much better
than another that he may put his
hands deep into the public Treasury;
take its funds and give the people no
account of his doings?
There are other cases similar to
this. II the Grant party, who have
tolerated these things for years, think
they can still afford to do, and that
the people will quietly and subrnis-
sively pay their taxes and endorse
such things, then they will be disa.
bused Of that idea in November. In
referring to this matter last week,we
did not mention names; but as some
questioned our statements we have
presented the figures for examina.
ton, and from personal examination
we know that they are correct. As
the tax payers Of this county ought
to be acquainted with these matters
and as the record is open to the in
