that the Office should seek the man and
not the man the Office. We acknowledge
the broad principle that difference of opin-
ion is no crime, and hold that progress
toward truth is made by difference of opin-

controversy. We desire q proper ecuali-

Xenia, on Tuesday, February 18th, 1874,

Laws of the State Grange, and continued
in session during the 18th, 18th, leth and
10th, adjourning at o'clock, P. M, on

L There were present, Masters, or their
Proxies, from near 600 subordinate

called the Grange to order at 10 o'clock
A. NJ, on first day Of meeting. The Grange

The vast amount of work deEolving up.

But the astonishing part Of the story is
not told by these figures, showing such an
extraordinary increase Of expenditures
All the bills were paid in 1857, and q
small sum Of money was left in the Treas
ury, while in 1872, not only all the money
was exhausted but there was nearly 500
600 still unpaid, 80 that the actual cost of
the Government to the taxpayers Was
fully two and q half millions Of dol
lara.
The figures for the fiscal year Of 1873
have not yet been made public, bat enough
is known to place it beyond doubt that
the showing viii be more than that
Of 1873. As for instance, the public prin-
ting last year amounted to the enormous
sum of $3.50, 900 66. The editor Of one Of
the Republican papers OF the State wrote
to inquire what the cost Of the public
printing was in other States. Replies
from FIVE different States have been re-
eeiVed. The amount they paid for the
service during the last year reported are,
Iowa, $121. .068 Pennsylvania, $73, ,377 "A
Ohio, $50, 923 SO MassachuSetts-
ing an extraordinary expenditure Of $2O,-
0OO-$S6, ,766 30; Maryland, SIS, 600. The
total Is 1886, ,135 S6, or nearly $4,000
less than in South Carolina alone. But
this is only on par with all the rsst.
Very naturally the people of the state
have been seized with CONSERVATION, and
excitement reIgns supreme, seeing, as
they do, nothing short of actual conhsca-
tion staring them In the face. But this
extravaganza in South Carolina is only
the fully developed type of true Repub-
licanism. It would be the same every
where under the same circumstances. In
South Carolina it has grown and four
ished under the protection of Federal
bayonets and Ku Klux laws, until it has
attained full proportions.
The Evening Posi-, at the conclusion Of
an article on this subject, says:
The taxpayers' State Convention, which
met year ago, Is again called upon to as
semble, in the hope that since the promi-
ses Of the ruling faction have not been
fulfilled. the leaders among the honest
citizens may be able to exercise some in
fuence towards reorganization Of politi-
cal affairs for the future. If there il 3
State in the Union that ahould welcome
the dissolution Of old political parties,
confident that any possible change must
be an Improvement, that State il South
Carolina.

The Legal Tenders a FOrosd Lean.
TFronn senator schur.,, a,.s.b

The Senator from New Jersey, TMr.
Frelinghuysen, called the emission of le-
gan tender notes "a forced loan" The
expression, "a forced loan, has been cali
ed amere empty figure of speech but in
nay opinion it Is something better than
that.
The Government issued legal tender
mates to buy commodities il great vAri-
ETY. Of forms. including labor and service.
1t gave for those commodities not money,
but its promises to pay money and OF
those who Tor such promises to pay sold
anything Of value 10 the Government, the
latter thus borrowed the value of the
things 90 sold TO it. This virtually con-
stituted loan. The seller was obliged to
take the legal tender notes for what be had
to sci, because he could not get anything
else IN payment. He had to sell for what
he could get or keep his goods. And
thus the issue of legal tender notes consti-
tHted forced loan; aHd the Government
promised to pay, bearing no interest, it
constitutes forced loan without interest.
Soon these Government promises to pay,
made legal tender in the payment Of
debts, went from hand to hand, and be-
came the only current medium of ex-
change IN all business transactions, and
the whole American people stepped into
the places of the original lenders to the
Government. Thus the issue Of LeQaL ten
der aotss bsea1ls a forced loan, s0iLhouE
interest, levied upon the american people.
This. / think, is clear. Il carries With it,
therefore, all the obligations Of q forced
loan, such obligations being aggravated
by the fact that not only the loan did not
bear any interest to the creditor, but it
imposed further loss on the creditors by
the depreciation Of the Government prom
lses to pay IN the market. -
Now, what is that obligation, prima
tdcis2 The inscription Of the legal tender
note is, '"Phe United States will pay 10
bearer one dollar" We will agree that
It means one dollar in the gold coin Of the
United States. That one dollar in the
gold coin of the United States the Govern
ment promises to pay; When2 1t has
very well been said, and not denied, that
the form of the legal-tender note il the
same which IN private transactions would
be considered that of due bill, payable
on the demand Of the creditor; and that
such demand, as between private parties
can be enforced by legal process. It has
been argued in reply that such q demand
may, indeed, be enforced by process of law
as against the Government; and that,
therefore, the Government is not under
any legal obligation to pay its promise to
pay on demand.

TIE intent of MccoY's School Book Bin
is probably a good one, but the hil furn-
iahes an instance of misdirected virtue.
We are not ignorant of the abuses prac-
tieed by publishing houses in the introduc-
ton Of textbooks into our schools. Pa
rents who can i'll afford are compelled to
pay two or three prices for the schoolbooks
of their children. Boards of Education
and School Committees are besieged and
bribed, are dined and Wined, and the pa
rents who have children at school pay for
the dinners and the wines and the gold
watches, &c. The frequent changes oftext-
books IN our Common Schools is need
less and outrageous burden upon parents
not blessed with wealth. But the rene
dy for these evils is not found in Mr.. Nc
Coy's bill Thepresent lively competition
in the school-book trade Is not without Its
adFantages, the provisions Of the McCey
bill are not such as would secure any thing
but worthless work, and the State has no
right to meddle with the matter even II
those conditions were different. For the
Legislature to force upon the Common
Schools Of Cincinnati or Of SmlthVille taxi
books that the managers Of these schools
do not want, and which, under this bili,
would certainly be worthless, is an impeT.
tinence. We must find another remedy.

The Constable Of Bourbon and the Chey-
alier Bayard had long been friends, and
the latter now used every effort to recon-
Gle the high spirited soldier with the ma
ny enemies which the intEigues Of the
vindIctiVe Duckesse d. d'Angouleme had ex-
cited against him. Unfortunately for
France, his efforts were not successful;
Bourbon was driven 10 revolt, and ieined

were led by Admiral BonniTet, to whose
aid the king sent Bayard; but the gallan-
try Of q subordinate could not atone for
the errors of the commander. Bourbon
WAS successful at all points, and defeated
his own countrymen on every occasion.
Hard pressed in the valley Of Aosta. at the
paaaage Of the Sesis, the French leader
was wounded, and resigned command Of
