. The DAmocrats mean while are anxious.

The Democrats meanwhile are anxious
ly watching the chances. They will not
make nominations if there are two Re-
publican ti,kets, but will vote for the one
considered least Objectionable, at least
such Is the advice of the cooler sort.
There is class, however, led by such
men as the editor of the Carolinian, who
will vote for nothing but straight out
Democrat. The active or passive opposi-
ton of such to any combination with Re-
publieans will render the saccess Of the
regular Republican ticket secure. -
NO MONEY.
Treasurer Parker left for New York as
soon as the Legislature adjourned. He
hopes to rescue the bonds in pledge there
and probably raise some more money.
The members Of the Legislature received
orders on their county treasurers for the
balances due them. These orders will
more than eat up the funds raised by the
license and stamp bills. Other claims
against the State will have to wait, in
Guiding the poor newspaper men.
THE DELINQUENT TAXES.
Auditor Gary is busily employed in get
ting up instructions toeounty officials forthe
enforcement of the amended law for the col
lection of delinquent taxes. This law pro-
vides for the sale ofall delinquent and for
feited lands on the second Monday in June
next. A title in fee simple, with immediate
possession, will be given by the auditor, a, i
guaranteed by the state. Those in arrears
had better take notice and get on the safe
side before June There is no doubt bu
that spectators will flock to these sales, to
bid, and the people should be warned in
time that this is no trifing matter. The tt
ties will be similar to those given by the
United States to'those Purchasing from the
Direct Tax Commissioners.
THE FREE SCHOOLS.
The best piece of legislation done by the
legislature, was the giving of $500, 900 to the
public schools, and SIS, 900 in addition for
deficiencies. Unfortuna ely this money is
not now obtainable, andif we may Judge the
future by the past, this important interest
will suffer from the Indifference of the treas-
ury officials who seem more willing to pay
any other claims than those arising from this
department. The able, honest and industri
Gus superintendent, j. K Jillson, has been
blamed before and will be blamed again, be-
cause of this state of affairs, over which he
has not the least control.

the South would be fairly treated. We
went on demanding that they should be
entranchised, and they were enfranchised.
Their rights Aro just as assured as yours
aud mine, They are better assured than
those of the Southern whites for while
there are no black men disfranchised,
there are q good many white men who
are allowed no voice in the disposition oil
their own property, white men without
property vote 1t away and mortgage it by
enormous debt, so that at this hour do
believe that there are States in this Union
where mortgage created by unjust and
uarighteous legislation in form Of public
debts salaries, and so forth, Is equal to
more than half the entire value of the
property. 1t amounts to a confscation
Of property. The men who owned the
property are allowed no voice. They
cannot vote, and the mes who own ne
property vote the taxes, and the property
is mortgaged until the owners sink into

Justice TO the Common Soldier.

Ex-Gov. Curtin of Penn, well known
for the interest he took in the soldiers of
his State during the war, in late all
dress sAid:-
The war was closed by tho courage Of
tho soldless, not by statesmen, not by
generals. They did their part, but We
sustained our Government, maintained
its integrity by the force, courage, and
power OF the men who carried the musket
and held the sabre. Remember, my
friends, 1t Is not generals, colonies, cap.
tains, or majors that preserved to us this
heritage Of liberty and equality which we
received from our ancestors. We owe II
to the common soldier. Where is hei

try faithfully, aud he is now serving the
country by his labor. We find that when
the war closed men who Clanored most
that rebels should bo shot, were men who
surrounded camps who were Quarter.
masters by profession, who bought and
sold horses. I could name some Of them
to you tonight. 1 could tell you tho
names Of some who fattened on army con.
tracts. Now they call man who dares
to assert his independence and his right
as an American citizen traitor. And,
my friends, know that [aughterl when

when every household had lost Its favor.

men were in every cemetery in the State,
when every breast blazed with entlu.

ernment marched into the jaws Of death,
these men furnished camps with horses,
oats, and hay, and fattencd; and they
were for hanging the rebels. OF all the
men engaged In tic war the most torgiv-
ing men were those who fought II out.
We all advised men to go to the war.

Work Of The RcpuDlIcon Party.

Now, then, will say few words with
regard to our political condition. / have
differed with old and dear friends-I have
differed for years past with them. ! had
a very early, and very, very ardent
feeling for the Republican party. Its
principles were nothing new to inc. I
had held them, cherished them, long be-
fore there was ,any such party; conse.
quently, when the time came that the old
Wing party should perish and disappear,
I was one CT the first to step out from
under that banner and link my efforts aud
my fortunes with the new party, whose
great leading fundamental purpose was
the preservation of Federal Territories
from human bondage. I worked with
that party until all It's purposes had been
fully accomplished. The Territories were
saved forever. The Union, being assailed
was defended, and thoroughly, absolutely,
finally rescued from peril. Slavery,
which In my judgement had been q great
curse, and the great danger of the coun-
try ever since It's forndation-a growing
peril, an enormous evil-passed away with
the rebellion 1t had excited, Now, then,
| said, tho time has come when with
slavery and the rebellion gone, what shall
hinder us from being evOrnore thor
oughly united and fraternal people.
[Applausc.l did not even curse those
who fought against us; for 1t seemed to
INC very likely that II had been South
as they were, and educated as they were
to believe slavery the highest good, I
might have acted and fought as they did;
but the evil having passed away, said:
"Now lot peace and friendship reign"
Well, there came obstacles. In the first
place, held that the necessity of our po-
sition dictated that we should act with
good faith; that we should take care Of
the colorel people Of tho South, and that
they should not be made to suffer In their
free state for our acts. We had elnanci-
pated them, and now there was, II seemed
to me, danger that they would be held
accountable and made TO feel the edge Of
wrath, and | said we must stand by them.
When, in 1860, a very commendablo ef-
fort was made to reconstruct the country;
TO bring II in harmony without saying one
word in behalf of tho blacks, | was not
ready, IL was said, let the States do 1t.
But who arc the Slatesi You mean the
whites of the States. So held back and
refused to Join that movement, because Il
seemed to me that no guarantee, no aSSu.

Ohio rs well US IN the State of Indiana,
they cannot defeat the Liberal and Demo.
cratic parties without great frauds ate
committed. Tie State Of New York,
between the two great parties, on fair
vote, is evenly balanced. A change OF
about 10000 votes either way will throw
the election over to the one side or the
other. To-day the Democratic party OF
the State Of New York Is united; II will
poll Its full vito. We have not loss than
10000. beyord tie shadow of doubt, Of
Liberal Republicans. But do not think
considering all things--the great efforts
the Government has made with It's office
holders, postmastCrs, collectors of internal
revenue, and It's ether vast resOurces-I
do not think, under the circumstances,
that can safely say that we shall have a
great deal over 10000 Liberal majority !;
but Of tho State of Pennsylvania, and
Indiana, and Ohio, all will give amajority
for the Liberal candidates. New York
will give more, rather thaA less, than 100,
900 majority. Great applause.)

FANrSE.-TherO are serious apprehcn.
siOns in ireland Of another famine. The
Irish peasantry in some parts Of the island
are writing to their friends in this country
that the utmost anxiety prevails regard
to the food supply, and that fears are
entertained of widespread and terrible
tlestitution. Information derived from
entirely different sources leads to the
conclusion that there Is too much reason
for tho prevailing apprehension. A wri.
ter in an English journal who has made
a special tour through Great Britain for
the express purpose of ascertaining the
condition of the crops, and who Is recog-
nized as an authority on such subjects,
estimates the value of the potato crop to
bc less by seventeen millions of pounds
sterling than that of an average year, and
of this loss more than one.half falls on
Ireland. If this estimate is correct, 1t
may be considered certain that great dis
tress will exist this coming winter among
the poorer classes, who depend principally
upon their potato patches for subsistence.
The wheat crop Of Great Britain Is also
likely to fall far short Of an average one.
