rious fact that the press everywhere,
except fow journals bought up by
public pap, have fairly gloated in
Fdspioting tho condition. Of affairs
here; and their frenzy increases day
by day. Tho whole vocabulary Of
abuse has been exhausted in supply
ii9gl lepithets for tho THE wing ring that
has ruined this State; and many
journals are only waiting to begin
yafresh uutil some new words of extra
strength are caused especially for the
occasion.
The Times, the Herald, tho Tri.
bune, and other leading papers dis
agree IN toto with the potent organ of
Putfer. They by no means consider
that tho taxpayers memorial has
teen answered, and are especially
soandslizcd that such infamous crca-

the land like wildfire and will great

fufyr's paper also congratulates
the honest leaders of tho ring that
the convention has failed in organiz-
ing tax unions. For its benefit we
quote a we'll known salutation and
repartee, "Spurina. tho ides of
March have come." Aye, 5ut not
gone. Taxes will be collected ncxt
January. The unions have six months
to organize. Three counties are or.

ring tongues arc. Puffer's chaticlecr
has by no means gotten out of the
woods yet. Don't Glow too Justify.
The convention met after a third of
the taxes of l873-74 had been col
Looted, too late to resist them. But
they arc taking time by the forclook,
and we opino the tax gatherer next
year will not have such an easy task.
In regard to immigration it says of
the landholdcrs, "rhcy did Il OF seem
to have the remotost idea that there
were any real or important reasons
why the immigrant should 60 west,
except their unwillingncss hitherto
to have him come South"
The Union Herald is hugging
fond delusion. The land holders do
know Of one serious reason why the
immigrant prefers to 60 West. 1t is
that tho very ringifor which the Union
Herald. is the paid apologist,
has SO robbed and plunder-
ed and ruined tho State that

every honest man, aud the immigrant
will much prefer settling where thcro

people are still 80 deaf to reason and

then the immigration society will

the Ring is not pleased with the re.

delighted with its work. No one
