James Fisk, Jr-a notorious thief and
| swindler. Is there any respectable man
or woman in this country who would
suffer his or her estimation of friends
character to be lowered by anything
James Fisk, Jr, might say? And yet

be condemned by party papers on the
| evidence of a man who has committed
the worst kind of ofienses against the
law, and who, to the eternal disgrace of
| the Judges who administer that law, is
still reveling in his stolen wealth, instead
Of breaking stone in Sing Sing.
AS to the objections to General Grants
course on public affairs, we do not pro
fess to answer them now; we merely re
peat our own opinion, that in the main
his policy is sound, wise, and beneficial
one. A man of purer private life than
General Grant never occupied the Presi
Dental chair. Is it iust-is it worthy OF
the Presidents position, or of this great
nation-that he should be called to ac
count at any moment by every disap
pointed office-seeker who chooses to in
vent new slander against him? W.
have replied to these charges because, 10y
constant repetition, they might have i'm

thoroughly they are sifted, the NOR,
shamefully false and malicious they will
appear. We believe that the majority o

Second District OF West Virginia.
To the Voters of the Second Congressional
Districtof West Virginia:

ing the subject of Federal taxation to
be settled 10y the people of the several
districts in the selection Of their repre-.
teuratives in Congress, and our contin-
ued prosperity. as a nation, depending,
in my Judgment, more upon the future
financial policy OF the Government
than upon the solution of any other live
political issue, it is important that YOU
know the opinions, as to a financial
policy, of those asking your support for
this position, before you cast your bal
lots.
regard all taxation an evil-an op-
pression-a nuisance which ought, il
possible, TO be sbated; and am therefore
in 'avor OF reducing and keeping taxa

The Government needs money, FIRST,
to ,detray Its current expenses, and, sec-
ond, to extipguish the public debt; and

How, then, can taxation be reduced
By reducing the demand for money
aud this can be dome, first, by reducing
the current expenses of the govern

and efficient reform in the civil service.
None but those who have given special
attention to this subject know the evils
and wastefal expenditures attendant
upon the present system. 1t would re-

Rhodes were working on a dump and

be dispensed with; and, third, by re-
turn OF Federal power within prescribed
limits, and an honest and economical
administration Of the Government.
The demand for money may be re-
duced Second. by liquidsting the
principal OF the national debt at less
rapid rate than has been done during
the present administration. The
monthly statements of the Secretary OF
the Treasury show that the national
debt, including interest, on the lst day
Of August. 1872, amounts to 81 lSS,~
.O2S Csc. A; and that the debt had been
decreased during the year ending Au"
gust l, 1872 by 800, 270, POI "a, or at the
rate of about 5000 per month,
showing that the present revenue laws
operating upon the present capital and
business of the country would pay the
interest and extinguish the entire debt
in about twenty years. This estimate
allows nothing for increase in capital
and business, which would certainly
double 10 that time, and by thus in
creasing the revenue proportionately
shorten the time required to liquidute
the debt.
Who is demanding this enormous
drain upon the present resources and
industry OF the country? If we trans
nit to future generations, the blessings
of liberty and self-government, they
should be required to pay, at least, a
part OF the cost.

We publish this mornisg card from
Hon. GEORGE R. LATHAM, Of Upshur
county, announcing himselfa candidate
for Congress in the Second Congress
sional District. Mr.. LATHAM is in favor
Of the principles set forth in the Gin
cinnati platform and elucidates his ideas
of finance at some length. He believes
that all taxation is "a nuisance that
should be abated!
As the Democrats and Liberal Re-
publicans of the Second District have
already nominated candidate for
Congress who is generally understood
to be in full accord with the national
psrty, in favor of the Cincinnati plat
form and opposed to GRANT, it is little
difficult to see just where Mr.. LATHAM
expects to find his supporters. However,
as independent candidacy seems to be
the rule nowadays and there are now
no less than five candidates for Con-
gress in the Second District, only one
of whom has been regularly nominated
by an organized political party, we are
ready to publish for cash the announce
ments of as many more as are desl-
rous Of this kind OF distinction. Rum
ming for Congress is a harmless sort OF
amusement, and the two heats the CAM
didates are permitted to enjoy this year
have afforded everybody who wished it
an opportunity for the qualification OF
their tastes in that line.
