GEN. GEORGE W. MoRGAN, has dis
covered that if more taxes had been lev
led during the war, the bonded debt
would have been less. Very true,
George; but then, if you want to go
back to that, we can go further back
and say that, if you and your party had
behaved yourselves in 1861, there would
have been no war, no taxes and no
bonded debt.

dried. - the second-term rule. except in
two or three cases, deciding the noInin

attempt 10 override the two-te1n rul,.
was in the case of Mckinley, for Rep

10 o'clock, by Joseph Gutzwiler, who

A motion was made for a committee
of five, to be appointed by the chair, OH
