A RADICAL William exchange

qucathcd n legacy Of $50, 100000 ad-
ditional taxation upon the people, but
IL did nothing to revive the industries
of the country to enable the people TO
pay these additional taxes, In the
way Of codicil 10 this "will," they
doubled the postage on all transient
printed matter which the people send
through the mails, and restored the
iianking privilege for themselves.

The New STArE,-The population

and yet at the last election they tai

votes in this State would represent n
population of 10000 We suspect that
their system of voting is of the "free-
snd-easy" kind There is some fear
the State will be left without quo

TERRIBLE DEsrRuorIoN.-Thc North

has but one consolation to offer his
readers-''at least one million of rats
were drowned by the overflow.

The LOCAL ORION VoTE.--In leg
islative etiquette, "the bill of the ses
sion" was the repeal OF the Local Op
tion law. This was uppcrmost with
both the liquor and tempeanceloaguc
one consuming about as much whisky
and beer.as the other. The vote for
repeal was very decided one, and
goes far to convince the public that
the act in question was, in great
measure, failure The vote in the
Senate stood-yeas, %; nays, 20; in
the Housc-yeas, l22 nays, 6s. Iii
cense will be granted at our June court,
Thereafter, only at January and
March terms.

READ lr.-For full and complete
index of the internal strife now pre-,
vailing in the Radical party, because
of Grants reconstruction measures, we
refer the reader to an article in this is
sue entitled, "Sam Bowles on Grant"
1t is notorious that ever since Congress
met in December, until the day of ad.
journment, the Radical members spent
more time in secret caucuses TO ar
range party affairs and the business OF
the country than they spent in the
halls OF Legislation. And why was
this infamous system so tenaciously
adhered to by the Radical leaders, if
all is well inside of the organization
In our Judgment, at least onc-third of
the party has broken with Grant, and
can never be rallied to his support il
he does succeed in nominating himself
for third term.

Parson Luce continues to abuse the

issue of his paper, he calls 1t 1.-THE fire

tract from communication addressed
10 him, Ia which the assertion Is made
that "ihe fair grounds were little else
than drinking saloon, and selling and
drinking intoxicating liquors the chief
business" The celebration was not on
the fair grounds, but in the Turner
grove; and the only liquor we saw sold
was lager bee-. OF course II is not i'll
toxicating, as the Parson must admit. 1t
Is simply cooling on so hot day as the
nth was, and has the effect Of sustain-
ing man when he is very uncomforta.
BILE. a. most Of the people in the grove
were. In our opinion the celebration
was temperate one. We have seen so
many drunken celebrations that 1t seemed
to us to be tectotaller's affair, altogether
destitute of the fun that results from
drinking.

from their beds, scourge them, and even
drive them out OF the county. There is
