War means immediate taxes laid
on with a heavy hand. II means res
toration of the tax Of five cents on
coffee and twenty-five cents on tea,
and the entire list Of internal excises:
it means a multiplication of the tax
gatherers. War is the downfall Of
public credit, and ours is already
strained. Instead of selling more
bonds for what they will fetch, we
will Law direct tax of $500, ,000. 900
year, to be collected through tho
regular state machinery. The expen-
ditures of such a war will be made
by few eastern cities the taxes will
be drawn from the whole country
War will destroy confidence and para

as knaves, who argue that we should

retary McCulloch, formerly Of the
treasury department, and now Il
banker in London, has written sever
al letters to the New York Tribune
on the French financial affairs. They
have, and worthily, attracted much
attention. The present debt Of the
French nation is, he says twice that

most remarkable is that this debt has
grown most rapidly, not when the
country was in war but when it va.
preparing for war. The standing
army has been at the bottom Of I'll
the financial troubles in France.
And he adds. it is her standing ar

other countries that menace the

he rightly asserts, are not Gre

they are the preparations of war.

The latest news from authentic sources
would naturally lead to the almost uEa-
vOidable conclusion that the alarming
. nccountS Of Indian hostilitics received
from the southeastern portion Of the
State we've simply the result Of biz
scare" operating at frs: upon so!ae
highly imaginative organization, and
bs il communicated to others perhaps
equally sanguine, until Il: length. hor-
rible details were given with startling
accuracy by excited persons al hun
dred miles from the seat Of reported
outrnges, and the narrowing tale, like
the rolling SNOWFALL, received the full
benefit OF tiavel. The calls upon ad-
joining counties ard the State for Hssis-
fance to n distressed people, coming rs
they did from responsible persons aud
those in authority. would sce!n to OK
clude this view Of the matter, but the
. following telegram from Andy Fife,
Sheriff Of Lincoln county, received by
his EIcellency Governor bradley, last
night, should be entitled to equal con-
alteration with that received from the
same source, but of very different tone,
on the 9th instant:
u PIocHE, NV, Sept. Z.
Have been to Cleveland's, where In
dian troubles were said to be. No hos
tilities on the part of the Indians. The
excitement entirely without cause. No
State assistance required.
.-..s ....... ANDREW FIFE.
II seems Just little strange that tel
cgranis OF such importance as those dis
patched to the Governor on the sixth
md seventh instants should emanate
from men Of character and standing,
npon the authority of n mere rumor.
Setting aside nil other considerations,
the heavy expense entailed upon the
State in the liquidation of bills for sup
plies and transportation, which must
necessarily follow q movement like the
present one, should deter reasonable
men from arousing the people to undue
excitement without good and sufficient
cause for such action. The fact that
up to the present time no reliable infor-
nation, beyond the telegram from Andy
Fife at Phoebe, has been received from
the seat Of war since Tuesday, We are
forced to the conclusion thut the whole
Indian excitement is the b1oadest kind
OF farce.

GUIIiOItD'S BUA ES.

The telegraph hns for several day past
brough news of riots at Montreal over
tho attempt to bury the bones Of a de
funct Canadian named GuibOrl in cou-
secrntcd ground. We have paid some
attention TO the development Of this
case, not on account Of any merit it
contuins, but because Of the exhibition
Of narrow bigotry which attaches vital
importance to the character of the
ground in which the dccaying bones Of
poor fellow mortal finds scpulchrc.
The iac!s il the case ARE substantially
these: Gnibnr! .iirli in 1872, under

Canadian Institute, M Anti Catholic
organization, brought suit to compel
his admission to consccrntcd ground.
The Court decided that the Church pos
6esscd the right to regulate it5 ccclcsi-
astical affairs without let or hindrance.
She then carried the suit up to the
Court Of Revision, which Court reversed
thc decision Uf the Court Lrlow. where
upon the Church appealed to tho SUI
prcine Court Of Canada. This tribunal
composed OF three Protestant and two
Catholics. affirmed the decision OF tho
Court which originally tried the case.
This decision Was generally approved,
regardless Of religious predictions,
and there the matter should have ended.
But not so. The case was carried 10
England, and submitted 10 the Queens
Council, which Court reversed tho nc.
ton Of the Supreme Court Of Cunudn,
and ordered that tho uneasy bones br
barred in cOnsccralcd ground. An at.
tempt to comply with this last order re.
suited in the diving away Of the funeral
