The Oppressive Taxes. What is 40
be Done About Them?

This thought is uppermost III every
mans mind. The taxes are now due
/ Soon thirty per cent. and costs will be
added if they are not paid and just be-
hind that penalty, stands the sheriff with
/ his hammer, as remorseless as Deaths
reaper, to strike off your remnant of pro-
perry to the highest bidder. To the
white men Of the country, and the col
ored men, too, who happen to own any
thing to be taxed, the visitation of the
taxgatherer is as certain as Death What
ever else may be absent he will be pres
ent. Cotton is down, down, down but
still the taxes must be paid to the last
farthing The "Mournful Facts" must
be fed Their stomachs are raging
and they are crying like genuine descen-
dants OF the daughters of the horse-leech,
give, give" They have the control of
the purse and the sword of the State
They have been armed with authority to
impose taxes and to collect them. How
is the evil to be remedied? Fellow-citi-
zens, there is but one answer. cit is to
improve the first opportunity that offers
to expel these bloodsuckers from the
places they have abused. This opportu
nifty will be afforded on the I'd day of
November.
PENNSYLVANIA will vote on the 2nd |
of November. Her Democracy are not |
discouraged by the result in Ohio, which |
was nearly drawn battle. Mr.. Wright, |
Chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee of Pennsylvania, has issued a
rousing address, in which he says: "The /
F" people of Ohio are an agricultural /
" people. The great staples of Pennsyl /
" vania consist of her iron, her coal, her
" manufactures, and mechanical indus /
+" tries. These have first felt the baleful |
g influences Of profigate government

GENERAL IONGSTREET.-In q brief refer
ence to Gen. I4ongstreet's political position the
Richmond (Va) Enquirer throws out an init
nation very honorable to him, that we do not
remember having seen alluded to by any other
Southern journal. 1t says:
'sTouching this same reconstruction record,
Gen. Longstreet has been sadly misunder-
stood. He Joined number of other Confed-
crate Generals in an early movement in the
way of reconciliation and an oblivion OF all
past difficulties. The movement proved I'M
popular and the other Generals withdrew
Gen. Longstreet thought it was right and went
ahead, and after while lie was forced by os-
tracism into the Republican party. This is
the head and front of his offending"
This is fair in the Enquirer. Not only has
Gen. Longstreet been governed by the most
honorable motives in his political course, but
if the leading men of the South had followed
the advice OF such men as Longstreet and Orr.
of South Carolina, there never would have
been occasion to complain of s'carpet-bag' ras.
cality. When they asked their people to &C.
cept the situation and conform their action to
the spirit of the adjustment measures growing
out of the war, instead of acceding to thcil
views. they were denounced and villified as
never men were before. They desired national
Internationally deniagogues Of the South
sectional hatred. We can see now, where the
great mistake was made, and that I.ongstreet
and Orr were right. History will yet do this
brave soldier and accomplished gentleman
justice.

assisted, but the Mayor of Berlin was not on
hand, as his presence at the festive scene might
have spread an umbrella over the French guest.
Consequently, in answer to inquiries, the Lord
Mayor turned off this explanation with the re-
mark, s'Gone to drink beer.'' Probably the
time will come when all the mayors Of the
chief cities in the world will meet together in
Congress yearly, in order to exchange
points in behalf of the better and more
civilized intercourse among men; and then no.
Sights or beer drinking will be admissible.

JUDGE A. B. CoCHRAN.-The Shenandoah
Democrat, published by Capt. Fl. Fl. Riddle
berge, member of the Legislature from Shen-
andoah county, says of Judge A. B. Cochran,
Senator from Augusta county
We observe by the Staunton papers that
Judge Cochran is likely to be candidate Tor
reelection to the Senate. We sincerely trust
that this is mis- determination. He was conce-
ded to be one of the abest in the legislatures
since 1870, and has taken front rank in both
Houses as thinker and debater. Besides, this
is peculiarly time for experienced legislators;
and while Judge Cochran is comparatively a
young man, yet he is so thoroughly trained in
parliamentary proceeding as to make his Wig
orous mind available at all times and in all
emergencies. Without wishing to be under
stood as meddlng in the affairs of Augusta,
we desire to express the hope that the Judge
will be returned.

She gave him water, wine and bread,
And the rest o4wcoo and shaded seat
She wiped the dust from his poor old face,
And smoothed his scanty locks OF gray.
And giving him bounties, with gentle grace
She helped him upon his weary way.
One morning, there stood at heavens gate,
"A soul Just up from the world OF SIN;
And all of the Angels came in state
To let the snow-white spirit in.
Their song of Welcoming "This is she
Who one OF Christ's weak ones. clothed and fed"
"Who doeth good to the poor, to me,
Doeth like good" the Saviour said.
They gave her crown with stars ablaze,
They gave her robe OF whitest white
And all thro, heaven was heard the praise
Of the maid who worshipped her Lord Alright.
