| The democratic Police Commissioners Of Brook
Ign have got the idea that they can improve the
force by discharging all republicans because they
are republicans. This is the party that has so
much to say against paityism.
For some unexplained reason the plan for open
ing the democratic campaign in Ohio on the 2lst
inst. has been changed. Instead Of speeches by
Senator Thurman and Gov. Allen the programme
now says speeches by Gov. Allen and the Hon.
George II. Pendleton.
We speak prospectiyely. There will be State
campaign in Massachusetts when the time comes,
and we should not wonder il it proved to be pref
ty lively and decisive campaign, with important
consequences, too. For the present the weather
is against all unnecessary activity, while the Cen
tcnnial episode and some peculiar features Of dis,
traction in the local situation have given an un.
usual s;agnation to political matters even for the
time of the year. These repressye influences
however, viii wear of in month or two. The
great shadow Of the Presidential contest of next
year will begin to deepen on our local field as we
get ready for the State canvass, and between the
two, the men of Massachusetts, will be different
from what they have ever been hitherto, if they
are behind any others in the Uaon in responding
promptly and intelligently TO the demands of the
exigency Boston Journal.

works, has published, for the season of 1872 the
til ild edition of his popular Resorts, and How to

Principal Summer Retreats in the Cnited States,
and the Routes of Travel leading to them. 1t
makes very handsome volume of 36l pages, and
is illustrated with one hundred and fifty-two eX-

present edition is much enlarged from that of last
year in the text, and also has additional engrav-

The illustrated routes have been generally pre-

or compiled from the best published accounts.
In view Of the Centennial Anniversary, at Pha-

illustrated pleasure routes leading from every

DUC7Y0N.
The outcry of the Democratic organs
about taxation is in conformity with the
policy they long ago declared, Anything
to beat the Republican party" Having
plunged the nation into a costly and des-
perate war, they have the impudence,
now that the war is over, to abuse the Re-
publican party for the taxation required to
pay the debt and obligations incurred by
the war. The Rebellion was a child of
the democracy. Whatever expense that
caused the nation the democracy are le-
Ultimately responsible for. The destruc-
ton of our shipping, the slaughter OF our
young men, the increase of taxation OF
every form, all of these are evils that the
democracy should answer for. These were
the legacy the democratic party left to the
country when it ceased to control the gov
eminent at Washington.
In order that our readers may see pre-
what articles pay it, and how much it has
been reduced from time to time, we copy
carefully prepared article in the Wash
ington Chronicle bearing upon this sub
ject. Says the Chronicle:
1.-The returns for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1875. are not yet completed.
The aggregate receipts will amount to
about S1O9, 800, 900. But the returns for
the previous year, 1874, will answer our
purpose equally as well. The figures and
facts presented are official. They show
what articles are taxed, the amount Of tax
paid by each class of goods, and the total
tax for the year. During The fiscal year
ended June so, 1874. the collections were
as follows:

paralytc attack, he also became aft ctcd with
softening of the brain and the decline in his mental

was performed upon him. The operation was
performed by Drs. Franklin and Farrar, we'll

blood were drawn from the arm of a strong,
healthy man, and transtlscd into the veins of the
General. This operation repeated three
times the last being about seven weeks ago. The
treatment seemed to improve him to some extent,

For two or three years he the boarding officer
of the port of Boston. After the Crmean war he
commanded the steamship General Knox on an
expedition to Sebastopol to raise vessels sunk at
the mouth of that harbor. This enterprise proved
financial disaster to Capt. Carrier and others en-
gagged in it. During the rebellion he was the mas
ter of the ship Lisbon, Government transport on
the Mississippi, a part of the fleet under Admiral
Farragut in his operations against Nicksburg in
connection with Gen. Grant. Capt. Curriers'
health was impaired while upon the Mississippi
