Governor Noyes, in Lis wan
behring's through the State, de-
grades his Office as Chief Magis-
trate and makes himself con
temptible by denouncing one
half of the citizens Of Ohio as
'traitors" and "copperheads."
He is a most pitiable exhibition
of a small sized demegogue.

Democrats, place no reliance
in the many lies that are now be-
ing circulated about some of our
candidates. These charges are
always made just prior to an e.
lection, and at other times coun-
ty affairs and its officers are all
right. Remember this when you
asked to believe any of the =,
aud you will find that after the
election they will not be insisted

true, even by those now so as

The Radical papers can't bring
anything forward detrimental to
the character of Hon. William
Allen, the farmer statesman of
Ohio, therefore they attack his
age and call him a fossil. Gov.
Dix. of New York, is ten years
the senior of Allen, and do the
Radicals call him a fossil?

The Eaton Register admits that
our Taxes will be one million
more next year, but undertakes
to say that it is caused by re-
building am Insane Asylum =
We will show that it is caused
by corrupt and thieving officials.
1t was proven through an in
vestigation of a Legislative Com
mittee that the managers of the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum drew
from the Treasury the price of q
1S3,35O bricks more than was
used. In the matter of hues in
said Asylum building, the State
was defrauded out of 100000!
Responsible bidders agreed to
contract to do the work for $780,
000-the same work, through
the thefts of Radical State Off
GERS, cost tie people of the State
$1,000 900
The Legislature limited the
expenditure for the construction
of the Central Lunatic Asylum
to 100000 but the Trustees of
said building, with the approval
of the Radical State officers ex-
pend upon it, including stealing,
81, 1000, 900.
In the erection of the Lunati C
Asylum at Athens, the Radical
State officers expended double
the amount of money authorized
by law.
In the establishment of the
Soldiers, Orphans Home, the
Legislature selected the White
Sulphur Springs, which could
have been purchased and fitted
up for $4,000, which sum was
appropriated for that purpose,
but Gov. Hayes, aud Gov. Noycs,
then a member of the Board of
Managers, had the Home estab
lished at Xenia at an additional
expense of over $500, 600. These
are the causes of the one million
additional taxes sa1dled upon
the producers of Ohio; and with
all this extravagance-with tax
es higher and produce lower-
with Banks suspending and hun
. reds and thousands of mechan-
les and laborers thrown out of
employment-with millions of
downright tbefts by Radical Off
Gals and bankruptcy staring the
country in the face, the down
trodden and oppressed tax>pay-
ers are advised to Nsstick" to the
party that is the cause of all this
distress and trouble. We heard
two Republican farmers the 9th
err day discussing the p,opriety
ofvoting for the Treasury thief
as they called their candidate for
Governor, simply out of pure
party patriotism! "The times
are hard and taxes are higher
and everything We raise lower

when such is the condition of
things-wIen theacountry is full
of such damphools, bow are we
to reach a reform? They had
been reading this Eaton Register,
and its fimsy excuse for an in
crease of taxes and swallowed its
advice, "stick to your party Y.

DISADVANTAGES OF DISHONESTY.

According to telegram from London
| the first mortgage six and three-sevenths
| bonds of the New York, Boston and Mon
treal railroad, to the extent OF SIX millions
of dollars were offered and taken in that
market at a premium of two per cent on
Saturday. This road does not propose
any such interest as the city of New Or
leans or the State of Louisiana offer upon
their bonds. and it certainly should not
present more reliable security. and yet
we can not sell our paper in Europe ex-
cept at a ruinous discount. If We could
send our bonds, say TO the extent Of eight
cen or twenty millions of dollars. to
Frankfort or London and borrow money at
six per cent upon them. the community
would realize the advantage Of the
loan and our citizens would reap
the difference between the rate of interest
paid here by the State and that paid by
the lender in a foreign market. We can
not do this because Europe has no conf
dence in our honesty or our capacity,
which is not at all creditable to ''this
people" nor profitable. whatever it may
be considered from the obstructionists'
standpoint. The REPUBLICAN does not
pretend to represent the capitalists and
business men Of New Orleans, since they
have elected to be represented by news
papers that make dishonesty the main
weapon Of their political warfare, but we
do profess to represent the poverty of the
community. which demands that the pub
lie credit ought to lie maintained for the
sake the private and general interests Of
all the people. 1t is no credit to US to be
following the suggestions of men who
have not carried a single point for six
years; who have confessed that they were
mistaken in the advice they gave before
to-day. aad who are plainly responsible
for the want of confidence and
lack Of popular unity that prevails to-
day; who cannot show any better returns
than bankrupted constituency and a
beaten mob as its capital, and who can not
even borrow money on their own paper in
Europe, where the brokers are SO anxious
to lend their capital that they pay North
err men premium for their bonds. If
we represented the wealth and pretended
to be the organ Of the intelligence Of the
community. as the Picaylne does, it would
"bind" Us o little to look at the difference
il which "this people" are held and that
which obtains with regard to the hateful
Yankees. More attention to our own hon
esty and less to that OF our neighbors
would give Us better reputation abroad,
and an easier money market at home.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE TAXES.

It is even-handed justice that Governor
Kellogg proposes to deal out. \ day Or
two ago he issued a proclamation an
nouncing his intention to exact from all
| their fair dues to the government. To-
| day we print an order showing that those
who have made pretense of this. but who
quietly obtained special favors, will not
be allowed to escape their full share Of
the general burden.
These tw official promulgations should
convey to the public this meaning viz:
that the existing government is deter
mined to collect al the taxes; that taxation
shall be equal and uniform, and according
to the legally ascertained values; that no
favoritism shall be shown, either to classes
or individuals, and that the money raid
into the State treasury shall be discussed
for the purposes laid down by law. This
leaves tax-resisting without a footing in
common sense or in common regard for
the public welfare.

During the shor: time that the tax Office

ton of one hundred thousand dollars has
been made in the First Municipal District
alone. and from the remainder Of the city
and the richest: of the parishes returns

present appearances it is far from boast
ing to assert that in thirty days the inter
est on the State deb: will be paid. and
State warrants command higher figure
than they have fol. years past.
So far. the government has had to con-
tend against an abnormal and unnecessary
depression Of its credit; but the strong
feeling Of public confidence which is grow
ing up despite financial rings. political
intriguers and journalistic misrepresenta-
tons, is painting its immediate future in
the brigh;es: co.ors Of success and pros

The EXCESS OF FOLLY.

The union which the Picayae urges
upon the people in the matter of tax re-
sistance is as stupid as it is dishonest,
since none but the dishonest will consent
to adopt such wholesale reputation Of
their plishted Obligations, and none bu:
the stupid will hope to escape from the
vigilance Of the law. III the frs. place,
there is no possibility Of uniting the COM
munity III any such movement. since the

But this is a mistake, they are not help
less They are not without influence,
and those who dare to stand between
them and their rights will one day find
this out Four hundred fair accusers-
four hundred educated, intelligent ladies'
turned into avengers, will be perfectly
fatal to the political prospects of any
small beer politician who unwisely and
wickedly provokes their resentment
But there are present and legal remedies
which we hope it will not be found neces-
sary to apply. In the first place, there is
the beaten way of mandamus; if the gen.
tlemen who are charged with the duty of
administering the municipal government
are unwilling to incur any responsibility
until they feel the sharp point of the legal
goad, why then We suppose the old 60
cart mandamus must be sent after them,
with a pretty bill Of costs, lawyers fees,
etc. for the city to foot. That would be
one way to achieve success. Another
remedy may be found in the legal claim
every teacher would have against the Ad-
miniStrators and their bondsmen tor
damages.
There is still a remedy to which we
have not alluded. which would be. per-
baps. more potent and summary than
either of the others: but as we have q
strong belief in the sense of justice Of the
Administrators. we shall omit it. One
thing, however. is certain. This tax must
be levied for the support of the public
schools. If the gentlemen to whom the
appeal is now made will perform their
duty. well and good; but if they refuse or
even hesitate too long about it. the school
directors should lose no time in appealing
to the courts. For the necessity for prompt
action is very imperative.

light in waking up the embittered feeling
of the past, but because the men who own
and control the PicdpiHe are urging on
another rebellion; are calling upon the peo-
pie to resist the enforcement of the laws by
Governor Kellogg, and urging them to
stand by McEnery in his attempts to
mislead the people. The Picapne ad-
monishes the people not to pay taxes to
lawful authority, and as a reason for not
doing so, publishes proclamation signed
by John McEnery, as Governor, warning
all tax and license payers not to pay taxes to
the tax collectors appointed by Governor
Kellogg. The Picayue goes still further,
and publishes what falsely purports to be
an act Of the General Assembly of Louis
lana forbidding the State Treasurer from
paying warrants issued by Auditor Gin
ton. And this is the paper that,
under the control of men honest
in their fidelity to American princi-
pies and American society. gained an
influence for good that selfish and narrow
minded men are endeavoring to use for
evil. The present owners of the paper in
question are the representatives of small
class Of men in the South who still live to
inwardly hate and curse the government
that possessed the power. through the
people. to conquer the infamous attempt
to break up the American Union. This
hatred is now openly heaped upon men
who have settled in the South during and
since the war and others OF the South who
remained true to the Union. The first
are styled "carpet-baggers" and the last
"scalawags" by such men as now control
the Picay'ne. And as that paper still
hopes to exercise an influence in all the
States of the Union it is we'll for the peo-
pie to know its true standing.

Tie Picayme is a sad example Of what
may happen the press in this country. In
the hand, Of loyal. talented and public
spirited men, whose chief ambition was to
make good. reliable newspaper. the Pic,
from a very small commencement, grew to
be large and influential daily journal.
The men who started it were compare
lively unknown and poor when they en-
gagged in the enterprise. But they were
workingmen: men who possessed sufficient
ability. industry and honesty to publish a
newspaper devoted to the public good and
not to the interest exclusively of small
class of men aiming to control the gov
ernment of the city and State. Under the
control OF Lumstlen. Kendall & Builitt the
paper and its publishers became widely
and favorably known to the people Of the
United States. Its chief aim then being truth
and tie advancement: Of civilization under
republican government. it achieved de-
served popularity among the people without
regard to party. and this was not confined
to single city or State. The Picayme
then very justly enjoyed national popu-
larity and exerted corresponding infu-
ence. But having obtained thi, high po-
sitioD as correc. and reliable newspaper
published in the best interests of society,
its founders passed away. and the con-
duct Of the paper gradually changed under
the control Of men no longer devoted to
the bes. interests Of America. From
being the advocate Of truth. justice and
free government, it became the defender
and advocate Of slavery. secession and all
the evils to society that have followed the
uuholy attem t to break up the American
Union. The Picay,ae fell from its high

q INTERNEnM

The omniscient telegraph seems "stuck"
with this word as it was with the "em-
bolism" which terminated the days of
Napoleon. 1t raised an Interrogation
point as signal Of ignorance. There is
a French story, 'IInterne.' from which it
appears that when under the administra-
ton of Charles X. or of Louis Philippe,
Partisan politician became obnoxious.
he was sent to some place in the interior,
which he was forbidden to leave, placed
under Surveillance by the police. and re-
quired to report to the local authorities
monthly. From this We infer that the
phrase, 1.-THE Carlists crossing into France
to be informed, means that they are to be
sent into the interior and made to stay
there. A part Of the French army during
the last war crossed over into Switzerland
and was "interned' for some time by the
PruSsians.
