ANOTHER SCHEME TO TAX THE PEOPLE
FOR THE BENEFIT OF A RING

When a territorial government was es-
tabished by Congress in the District of
Columbia the people were warned that it
was only Republican dodge to make the
country at large pay the debt to be con
tracted by the pseudo government, and
now, the debt having been raised to about
twenty millions of dollars, the new govern
or who has Just been installed by Presi-
dent Grant, in his inaugural speech, ,igni-
ties that the programme for the payment
by congress has already been made out,
and that il will be carried out sooner than
has been believed.
The governor says that Grant, in his
message to congress at the opening Of the
session in December, will recommend the
assumption Of the debt By that body, aud
there is but little doubt that the recon-.
mendation will be coucurred H. IL is ad
mitted on all hands that there has not only
been the most lavish and careless cXpendi-
turc Of the taxes of the District, but that
there has also been some of the most dis
honest practices TO which even the Repub-
lican party as black as Is it, record, has
given birth But the country may rely
upon this, that however illegal or criminal
the official transactions of the District may
have been, congress will make the treasury
foot the hill.

How to Buy Horse--Advice from "Adiron.
dack Murray"

dAck Murray.
From the advance sheets Of the Rev.N.
II. Murray's new book on The Horse,
we extract the following
BE sure that the horse you purchase
has symmetry, viz is well proportioned
throughout. Never purchase horse be-
cause he has splendid development of
one part of his organization, If he be lack
| ing in any other Above all, keep well in
mind what you are buying for, and buy the
horse best adapted TO the work you will
require Of him and when such an animal
is yours, be content. Never jockey. An
occasional exchange may be allowable; but
this daily swapping of horses adyertises
n mans incompetency for anything hlgher.
Another caution is this Never purchase
a horse until you have seen him move, and
under the same conditions TO which he Will
be exposed in the service you will expect
of him. If for a draft, see him draw, back
and turn round in both directions it for
the road see how he handles himself, not

b. the action Of the State convention Of
the independent anti-monopolists in Cali
fornia, the peoples IHdepeRdcat Party is
fairly initiated, aud now stands before the
country. Desperate efforts were made by
the old party leaders, Of both the corrup-
ZIONIST factions, 20 prevent the OrganiZa-
ton IN California of the new party These
efforts completely failed. With the great
est unanmity, the convention performed
It's work OF organization, adopted for the
new party the appropriate and excellent
name of Independents, and put forth the
trucst declaration Of Independent principles
that has yet appeared anywhere. This
declaration embraces the following points:
l. Repudiates the pernicious dogma of
party iuiallibility, and denies the party
iealty which is its corollary
> Condemns the use of money for any
purpose tending TO influence the results Of
elections
3. Autagonizes all political rings and
claues and Hobbies formed to control the
action of government;
g. Pledges the Independent party to a
reformation Of the civil service, and to re-
sist and oppose all Credit Mobilier schemes
or contract and finance companies;
3. Condemns the distribution Of public
lands to corporations or monopOlies Of any
kind
8. Condemns all and every kind of sub
sidy by federal, State, county, or munici-
pal governments
I. Declares for equal freedom Of trade
commerce, and industry, and condemn,
the protective system OF robbery;
8. Fayors change in the constitution
limiting the presidency TO one term.
The platform also contains two or tire,
propositions Of only local application, on,
of which 1.-THE taxation Of credits is no
altogether sound, as the California indie
pendents will probably discover by exper
fence
II was eminently fit that the new part
should receive its christening in California
the State in which its first great trump
has besn achieved. At the conclusion Q
the convention, the assembly was addresse

FARMERS CONVENTIONS.
THE UNITED STATES AND BRITISH PROV.
INCEs Al CHICAGO.
Iowa and the Mississippi Valley at xsoEut

In THE WEEKLY ARGUS of last week,
we published, in full the call of the State
Central Committee Of the Illinois State
Farmers Association for convention to
be composed Of delegates from the various
farmers clubs, oranges, farmers associa
tons, agricultural societies, boards Of agri-
culture, and other similar organizations Of
the producing classes Of the United States
and British Provinces, to be held in Nc
Cormick's Hall, in Chicago, at 10 A. NJ, on
Wednesday, Oct 22d, instant. The OBJ.
jects of this convention, US set forth in the
call are as follows
THE purpose Of this convention is to dis
cuss the prevailing overcharges in trans
pOrtation to incite and perfect the organ
ization Of the agricultural and other indus
trial classes, who chiefly suffer from those
overcharges, in every State, Territory and
Province Of the country, with the view OF
showing q combined and overwhelming IN
huence against their further depredations,
aud TO take such measures as shall secure
prompt and efficient legislation, that shall
end in the complete extinction OF all rail
way or other monopolies now preying upoI
the productive interests Of America.
This will probably be one Of the mos
important gatherings ever assembled il
this country, for the reason that it will b
composed Of delegates from organized 50
cieties who will feel that the time has ar
rived when their numbers make them
power in the State and nation, and that
is time they began to interest themselve
in the affairs of the State animation, Her
then will be such an assemblage as neve
met before in this State: not an undisc
plined body like the Springfield Convento
last April, but an organized body, and a
though rather large, yet being compose
Of men whose duty it is to keep order
their respective societies will recognize ii
necessity Of having order in this grand n
tional convention The oranges of tf
State alone now number over 800, and
fore this national convention meets W
number over 500. Aud this from only o
