WHO WILL EXPLAIN?

The writer of this in 1864, had forty
thousand dollars in gold. With that gold
he bought one hundred thousand dollars
in greenbacks. With the greenbacks he
purchased ten government bonds Of ten
thousand dollars each, making one hum
dred thousand dollars. On these bonds
he has drawn six per cent gold interest
for eleven years. In addition to the
bonds, he received from the government
ninety thousand dollars in national bank
notes which he loaned out at the rate of
interest varying from 7 TO IS per cent
per lannum. He desires to know why
the government should pay him one
hundred thousand dollars in gold, when
he loaned it but forty thousand and re-
ceived gold interest on twice the amount
loaned, as we'll as the interest on ninety
thousand dollars of national bank cur
rency ever since
When this matter can be satisfactorily
answered by the taxpayers, national
bankers and their satellites will have
some grounds to fall back on, the Radi-
cal party some hope of sucCess.-Bellc-
t0Htc (Ra.) WatcAmaH.

GOV. HAYES AND THE STATE
TAXES.

Gov. Hayes, in his speech at Ports
mouth on the I'd inst, commented Sc
verely on the late Legislature, claiming
they had increased the taxes of the State.
General Cary spoke at the same place
the following Wednesday, and replied to
Hayes as follows: ,t
"Governcr HAYES told you that the
taxes of Ohio had been increased over a
million of dollars in two years. He did
not have the candor to tell you that the
last Democratic Legislature reduced the
State levy in two years over one million
of dollars, and that the increased taxes
were made by township, county and mu-
nicipal authorities. He did not tell you
that the Der ocrats of the last Legisla-
ture tried reduce the maximum of
county and ownship levies, so as to pre-
vent extravaganza, and that every Re-
publican voted against the proposition
If he had jeen. frank he would have
told you that t Republicans in the Leg
islature had opposed every measure
offered to lsda taxation upon the peo-
pie" 'a

spoke in the Cp.a House the other even

In these radical.times we must be con-
tent to take the froth for substance, sur
face for depth, the counterfeit for the
real. Indeed, knavery seems to be in
stalled in high places and mammon only
is worshipped. Our temple of liberty
and justice has been in such hands for
some time, and. honest people dependent
upon industry begin to feel and realize
the evil consequences. We have read
of a man, who, wishing to save man.
kind, drove the worshlppers of mammon
from the temple.

WHEN gold rated at $50, making
dollar greenback worth 40 cents specie,
the Government nevertheless sold bonds
for greenbacks. at par, agreeing to pay
interest in gold, and now the Grant policy
has enacted that the bonds must be paid
in gold, dollar for dollar. Greenbacks
at 40 cents gold, gave to the soldier
serving at $40 a month but So 40 in gold.
We hear much about keeping faith"
with the bondholders, but not much from
the leaders in power about keeping faith
with the honest, mutilated soldier, de.
pending on his pension. The fact is, our
soldiers were paid in greenbacks, not
averaging over 90 cents on the dollar.
We heard no lamentation from the Radi-
cal leaders over this.

The Coshocton Democrat fastens on
EX-Gov. Hayes the charge that during
the sitting Of the Ohio Legislature last
winter he acted as lobbyist in the in
terest of the Austin Powder Company, OF
Cleveland, to defeat bill prohibiting
the manufacture Of powder within FIVE
miles of the city of Cleveland, or cities
of its population, and to prevent the de-
post of powder within the city limits,
except under such regulations and in
such quantities as might be provided by
the City Council and that after the de-
feat of the bill he received a magnificent
horse from Mr.. Austin, of the Austin
Powder Company, of Cleveland, in con-
sideration of his services in defeating the
bin rofarred to. The Fremont 90N1uaL
Hayes's home paper, admits Hayes used
his influence against the bill, and re-
ceived the horse, but alleges that he paid
full round valuation for it. This ex-
lanation is too thin, and only serves to
confirm the charge.

SENATOR MOTION and Grants Attor-
ney General, Pierrepont, do not agree
on the Southern outrage" business.
Morton says "Any one at all familiar
with the. evidence that has been taken in
regard to the condition of the South dur
ing the last nine years, must not only
know that the tales told were generally
true3 but have reason to believe that the
half has not been told"
On the contrary, Mr.. Pierrepont, who
inherited Williams outrage mill' and
bloody linen, says;
There has not been single case of
Southern outrages reported to this de-
partment Since | entered it. Up to that
moment they came regularly by mail
and telegraph every day"
OF course Senator Morto must say
something horrible and Sensational in
campaign speech,

THE Republican newspapers are now
quoting the following terrible extract
from the Shepherd ofMe Na|lEy, a Catho-
lie paper of St. Louis;
I'm the future, when we shall have
gained the ascendency in this country,
as aVe surely shall, then will it be true,
even as our enemies now say, that there
will be no more religious liberty, AS
THERE OUGHT NOT TO BE"
1t seems there is no such paper pub
lished in St. Louis as the Shepherd Of
the NLty. The Republican press of
Ohio need something for its religious
crusade, and it is generally furnished to
order.

a frightfal catastrophe has befallen
o large party OF pilgrims to the Mas
halingam shrine on tho Tinnevelly
frontier in India. They were eamped
in the dry bed ola torrent at the base
OF the shrine on Sunday evening".
Thousands of men, women and chill
dren were talking, or eating or dane
ing in the sandy bed; hundreds of
sheep and fowls, brought up to be sa~
crifced, stood in mournful groups,
each awaiting it's turn. AT s o'clock
there was heavy shower of rain, but
the multitude stirred not; ten minutes
later tho hitherto dry bed was iull,
and the freshet rushed down headlong,
carrying those who, notwithstanding
oil their frantic efforts to gain the
bank, could not force their way
through the crowd. The water did
not gradually rise, else tho people
would have escaped; but wall of
water came down unexpectedly, and
rendered any attempt of the rear
ranks to gain tho shore problomatical.
In half an hour the wator had fallen
considerably, and one hour after tho
catastrophe there was no water in
the bod, only the surface was wet and
slippery. Many dead bodies inter.
cepted by roots and bushes were
picked up. Some were found jammed
between stones; and only verv few
of the ill>starred lot saved themselves
by catching q friendly bough. 1t is
said that over 200 men, women and
