INsINCERITY OF THE REPUR-
LICANS ON TIM MONEY
QUESTION.

The baldest absurdity of the
century is the assumption by the
Republicans of hard money prin-
ciples, which, however, is only of a
piece with their other professions
Of virtues which they studiously
avoid practicing. Their party in
the first place Was the creature of
exegences, and it rapidly lapsed
INTO an oflcc-holders' ring, whose
policy, from hour to hour and from
day to day, was to retain the hold
on power in order to keep n certain
clique IN office. Radicalism has q
fascination for many people, and
under no other banner is it SO easy
to deceive and mislead them.
Their Mortons and Logans and
Buffers and Kelleys howled like
very demons for Initiation last Win
ter, and while some of them had
the grace to either keep quiet or
boldly hold to those professions
through the late canvass, others
went on the stump with the party
and preached from q hard money
text, as did Morton. The Repub-
Leans created the rag-beast IN
1862 and their Congresses and Su-
preme Courts affirmed his validity,
during all the intervening time,
in the very teeth of constitutional
declarations to the contrary. Yet,
when q few bedeviled Democrats
took to the worship Of the beast,
they cried out with n loud voice for
his immediate and unconditional
slaughter. u,u iii
1t is reasonable to suppose that
we're there any principle at the
bottom of their professions and
present position on the money is
sue, they would not have neglected
q favorable opportunity in past
years to have accomplished what
they now propose to do. This OPP
portunity they had in 1869, but if
they did anything then calculated
TO bring the country back to a
sound financial standing, we have
never head of it. We are, as a
people, still at the mercy of the
spectators of the great money
centers, and will be IN exactly the
same condition just so long as the
management Of this great question
is left in the hands of these mere
ofice-holders.

The Star says Gen. o. E Babcock,
private Seeretay TO the President
says with reference to the special
dispsltch from St. Louis to the Gin
eInnIati Enquirer. stating that he
has been Indicted by the Grand
Jury at st. Louis for conspiring
with the dIstillers of that city to
defraud the government out ofssthe
taxes on crooked whisky, that he
does, not believe that any indict
ment has been found against him
for several reasons. In the first
place he has never had any init
nation from any source that his
name vas to be presented to the
grand jury, and finally, that he
knows nothing Of nor has he ever
had any connection directly Or in
directly with the whisky ring. IN
til he receives reliable information
that such action has been taken
by the grand jury, he, of course,
will have nothing to say. OF the
J man Fitzroy, who it is stated turn
ed States evidence, he knows moth
ing, although he believes he did
see him once, and only once, in st.
Louis.

Had this been done, as every prin-

NOsERoUs STATE TAXATION.

1ONEROUs STATE TAXATION.
h ABour the only earthly 5 that
we can see in legislaturss, or rather
the only good use that we can con ,
ceive OF their being Pak. q, The
sndoing of what theytEave done,
and we think that our Pwn Legis-
lature might just nov be advar-
tsgeously scenveped III extra c
sion to urdo much OF the botch
they made of things last winter,
That they would undo it we haven't
n doubt for we viii not credit any
one of them with that degree of
thick. headedness or that moral
courage which would prevent them
entertaining an adequate apprecia-
ton Of the wrath to come next year.
AS our readers know, that glori-
ous array of Legislative talent which
~congregated in all the glory of
Solomon at the Capitol last Winter
enacted a law 'for the relief of the
oppressed tax-payers,'' which law
suspended the payment of taxes
until the FIRST day of the present
month, with interest at the rate of
six per cent. per annum, from No
vember IA. On that dread day the
collector is commanded to distrain
for taxes in every case of non-pay-
ment, and from then until the first
day of December the work is to go
bravely on, nothing being exempt
from distraint. Upon all property
thus distrained, beside the taxes
and the interest at six per cent,
there is a penalty of twelve per
cent, and four per cent, for
issuance and service of distress
warrants. We quote from the
Nashville American:
The twelve per cent penalty to
which allusion is here made becomes
operative on the first day of De
cember, so that il a mah fuils to pay
his taxes by that time ind his land
: is condemned, he has to hand over
Mot only the twelve per cent penal
ty, but also per cent interest,
rs well as four per cent for the ID
su8tpce and service Of distress war
ranas, making a tota of % per cent
and.if hesben fails to come up to
the seratet2sthe amount bid on the
land is subEcNo ten per cent in.
terest per annuM. He not only
has to pay this on State taxes; but,
in the event of his failure to settle
tor corporation or county taxes, il
is ohargedhy each one-the State,
/, the county and the municipal cor,
poration, respectively-so that the
interest and penalty and distress
warrant, just increase his taxes six
ty nine per cent"
Now, what may I've the condition
of matters of this nature in our
own county we do not know. 1t is
certainly to be hoped that the de-
linquents are very few in number,
but we fear it is otherwise, and
have not a doubt that as bad a con-
dition of things rs can possibly eI-
list here, prevails throughout the
State. If so, we may depend on it,
that next year the people will send
to the Capitol a Legislature pledged
to total Reputation Of the State
debt and restitution of all penal
ties exacted now. To-day our peo-
pie are in no condition to pay
either the taxes or the penalties,
and the desperation Of dire necessi-
by will impol them irresistibly to
the commission Of so dark an act as
the degradation of Tennessee to the
level of repudiating States. And
there will be few to lift their voices
against the measure, repellant as il
is to every sense of manly honor.
