The Boston Post calls attention to
the dangerous, centralizing tendencies
of the Republican party under the
Grant regime, as demonstrated in the
fact that the national administration
assumes to regulate the currency, it
seeks to manage the telegraph, it earn
cstly desires to undertake the banking
Of the nation; and now there comes a
special notification from Washington
that Congress will consider the scheme
of loaning currency from the National
Treasury TO individuals on mortgages
of real estate. 1t is not unreasonable
to suppose that a government capable
OF all this can at win establish nation
al shoesshops, iron mills, cotton factor
les, and bakeries, or build canals and
railroads at public expense for the pur-
pose of supplying work and wages" If
the business men of the nation who
warmed this serpent into life are stung
by it at last, it will be but history re-
peating itself. Those who live by class
legislation, die by it at last.

COUNTERFEIT paper dimes are in Cir

You can't get cash for the one-and
you can't get cash for the other. So
there is no difference. The counterleiter

ernment will not redeem its paper

Of paper being worthless. There is a
sort of belief thattbe government paper
will be redeemed. though il rests upon
nothing but hope, that most deceiving
Of all deceivers. 1t is probable that
but small part Of our smaller currency
ever will be converted into cash, as
much Of il will be lost. in various ways
by wearing out by being dropped and
trampled upon or blown away, BY being
burned. and by being pronounced coun-
terfeit when it is genuine. All this will

will be lost by the poorest members Of
the working classes, for whose suffer-
iugs neither governments nor politicians

paid to the welfare of those classes, and
had justice been done. all our small
currency would have disappeared six
years ago. It existence is reflection
on the country's sanity, and in every
way it is q calamity.

ILLINOIS is going forward steadily in
the experiment of regulating railroad
tariffs by law. The operation OF the
new law with reference to freight rates
is not yet definitely determined, but it
is probable that an attempt will be
made by the railroads to secure under
it an advance of local rates, 1. e, rates
within the State, amounting to some-
thing like one,third Of those now
charged. In this scheme the Alton
and St Louis Road has taken the lead,
and il it is successful the result to many
of the business interests Of the State
will be not only injurious, but, in some
instances, ruiuous. The railroads will
unquestionably have to meet their Gus
TONERS in court, where the plea will be
made that any advance is "unreasona'
BILE" and Unreasonable charges sub
jsct them. according to the recent law
to heavy fines, raging from 81 600 to
5000, for the first offense, up to
5000 for each offense subsequent to
the third. On the other hand, the
working of the law in regard to pas
seuger rates is likely to tend to a gem
eral reduction, estimated as likely to
bring the average rate as low as three
and half cents per mile.

Our State Finances.

From the 0reenbrier Independent.
Why ;s it that we hear so little now
from our Radical enemies about "con-
vention iniquities," "high taxes" L"
financial ruin," and all that sort oI
thing, predicted by them if the Demo-
cratic party should come into power?
When the Democratic party took
control of the State Government. the
treasury was in woiul condition. 1t
was empty, and the State in debt to
the school fund some fifty odd thousand
dollars, which amount had been lille.
pally drawn from that source by Gov.
Stevenson to enforce the registration
law. Within two years the Democratic
party, through it's financial officers,
paid off that debt and restored to
the school fund every dollar of the
money stolen therefrom by Radical
hands. A constitutional Con-
yention was called and held, and all ex-
penses OF that body have been betrayed
and taxation not increased one cent.
A protracted eession of the Legislature
has been held to conform the laws ol
the new Constitution, and all the ex-
penses thereof have been paid without
an increased levy. Very liberal app~o.
priations for humane and criminal in-
stitutions have been granted without
i'm posing additional taxation, and, to-
day, we havea comfortable balance oi
about five hundred thousand dollars in
the treasury. A complete system Of
collection is daily producing additions
to this sum.
This does not look much like the
State was to become bankrupt under
Democratic auspices. Yet, we cannot
find a single Radical sheet honest
enough to inform its readers Of the
healthy condition Of our finances. They
maintain a consistent silence and sui
leuness.
The Radical party Of West Virginia
is a party Of eternal spite. Its mem
bers look upon the power OF the State
as theirs to preserve, enjoy and trans-
NIT. They can't submit, patiently, to
any reference with their pretensions,
They can speak nothing Of their suc
cesslul antagonist, unless accompanied
with calumny. To express undying
hate, and, if possible, to divide and de.
stroy the Democratic party, they will
stop at no means, however disreputable.
All we ask for is fair and impartial
comparison Of the financial condition
of our State during the asceudancy o.
the Democratic party,with its condition
during the era OF Radical rule. We
will not suffer by the comparison. W.
hear nothing of defaulting Sheriff.
within the last two years. We hear o.
no legislation now, releasing defaulterG
from the payment Of their just obliga-
tions. No depleted and bankrupt treas
ury. Everything is easy, and taxes ar
getting lighter.

Constitutional Convention OF Ohio, now
in session at Columbus, few days
since, during the debate on PROPOSE

Executive Depar tment, to change the
time for holding State elections from
October to November. Judge West,

signed a judgeship to which he was
elected By 10000 Republican msjority
to take o seat in the Convention, was
speaking IN favor Of the proposition

declare thst il was absolutely humilist-
ing to men OF dignified sensibilities to
see Delano, Secretary Of the interior,
Boutwell,, and Creswell, Postmaster
General, going down last fall, first to
North Carolina, and, after having car
ried that State BY detail, folding their
tents like the Arabs and silently steal

then fitting away to other States and
working to carry elections for the
Administration party. / hope to God

startling cases Of precocious crime upon
record. A colored boy. six years OF

and in his childish way brooded over
his fancied wrong. Taking advantage
of the absence of his. parents the other

then managed to drag the body some
distance from the cabin, where he hid

was with the party that captured
jeff. Davis; saw the whole transaction
from its beginning. l now say apd
hope you will publish it-.that JEFF.
Davis did not have on, at the time he
was taken, any garment such asis worn
by women. He did have over his
shoulders a waterproof article OF
clothing-something like a "Havelock." "
1t was not in the least concealed. He
wore a hat, and did not carry pail oil
water on his head, nor carry pail,
bucket, or kettle in any way.
TO the best OF my recollection he
carried nothing whatever in his hands.
His wife did not tell any person that
her husband might hurt somebody it he
got exasperated. She behaved like a
lady, and he as a gentleman, though
manifestly he was chagrined at being
taken into custody. Our soldiers be-
haved like gentlemen, as they were,
and our officers like honorable, brave
men, and the foolish stories that went
the newspaper rounds Of the day, tell
ing how wofshly he deported himself,
were all false. l know what l am
writing about. 1 saw Jefferson Davis
many times while he was staying In

whole matter talked over as a good joke;
and the officers, who knew better, never

they thought the Confederate President

by any means would become history.
And further, / would never slander a

have been. .
l defy any person to find single
officer or soldier who was present at the
capture of JEFF. Davis, who will Say,

woman's clothes, or that his wife acted
in any way unlady-like or undignifed
