CINCINNATI is very much torn up in
mind about the proposition to bond the
city for six million dollars, in addition
to the ten millions already spent, to
complete the Southern Railroad. The
Germans, ia especial, are in trouble
about it, the large brewers favoring the
project and nearly all the other Ger
man business men and other classes of
taxpayers opposing it. Some of the
heavy tax payers and business men .vor
tine selling the unfinished road for what
it will bring and say that the result of
further burdening the city with taxes
would certainly be TO drive manufaetur-
ers to rural cities. There is wisdom in
that suggestion, and it is as applicable
to other cities as to Cincinnati. Heavy
taxes cripple manufacturers already To-
Gated in city and prevent others COM
ing. In this way employment is made
scarce, and the laboring non tax payers
are made TO feel the, burden even more
severely than the heavy tax payers.

IT is stated, we cannot say with what
exact amount of truth, that discovery has
been made that everything connected
with the expedition to the Black Hills
has been in violation of law The expe-
dition of General Custer is declared to
have been in direct violation of treaty
st;pulations with the Indians. That We
are prepared to believe, for such was our
opinion at the time. 1t is now claimed
also that the Red Cloud Commission, ,ap
pointed to treat for the eession of the
Black Hills country, and the geological
survey of the same country, under the
charge of Professor .Janney. were in plain
violation of laws forbidding geological
explorations, unless specially authorized
by law, and prohibiting payment OF mOn
ep on account of any commission, except
military and naval court martials, until
special appropriations for such commits
sions shall have been made by law. The
accountingiofficers of the Treasury paid
out some Sl2, ,0G0 for the expense of the
Red Cloud survey, in ignorance of the
law. On discovering the same, they re-
fused to pay any further. I5 is said that
neither the President, the Secretary of
the Interior, nor the Senators who were
on the Red Cloud Commission, were
aware of the illegality of their action
until it was discovered by the accounting
officers of the Treasury. 1t is understood
that either the President or the Secreta-
ry of the Interior will nov have to send
a communication to Congress asking for
legal sanction for what has been done,
and special appropriation to pay ex
penses.

MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.

The unvarnished facts in relation to
the recent election in Mississippi could
not have been more succinctly or cor
rectly stated than was done by Mr. Mo-
ton, in the opening part OF his speech in
fhe Senate, few days ago. He said:
HIf the information L have received
from very many sources, IS substantially
true, the late pretended election in Mis-
sissIppi was an armed revolution, char
aeterized by fraud, murder, and violence.
ia almost every form. It.was carried on
in some respects under slie forms of law,
but its real nature was that of force, the
violation of law, and the trampling under
foot of the dearest rights of great masses
of men. A little less sudden than those
revolutions which have distinguished
States of Mexico and countries of South
America, il did not differ from them in
character, and was equal to them in at
rocity.
1t is q matter of the creates import to
the American people to know whether a
large majority of the people of the State
have been overthrown and subjugated
by the minority, and also to understand
upou Nudt ptcocHec VI princlpie SUCH Il
revolt was brought about. The only
thing like principle that could be assum-
ed in justification of such result, would
be that political and civil power should
belong exclusively to the white race, or
upon the other principle that that party,
the members of which own most of the
property in that State, should be allowed
TO goverfpto the exclusion of the major
fly, who are generally poor, and most of
whom have nothing to depend npon for
their subsistence but their labor.
apprehend that an investigation of
the Mississippi revolution would show
that the triumphant minority acted upon
both of these principles, and in various
ways boldly professed them as its doc
frines

THE Chicago Times Dem calls the
Democratic leaders in the recent amnes-
ty debate in the House ''sanseless idiots,
and speaks of the spirit exhibited by the
Northern Democrats as follows:
The country has been listening for a
number of years to the loud protesta-
tions of the Northern Bourbons that
they have no reac:ionary purposes or
schemes, but, if trusted again with pow
er, that they will honestly maintain the
reforms of the Constitution and preserve
the fruits of the war. The country has
been listening to their words with great
disgust, suspiciously constituting them in
the light IF their behavior. Their
re entry into the old confederation
Of Southern fire eaters and Northern
dough-faces; their too manifest scheme
to play tie old game of political fraud
by a ''united South against divided
North;" their Inauguration of the re.
confederation by defending the horrors
of Andersonville and seeking to re habil-
itate in political chieftainship the man
who made Andersonville possible, and
who declares that the principle for which
the champions of Andersonvi'le con-
tended is bound to reassert ITSELF"
these actions do not interpret their words
in the meaning which the country in
terds shall be maintained.

Enquirer, who states with much posi-.
tiyeDess' that Mr. Grant will not, under
any circumstances, be a candidate be.

The Enquirer has in this reached the
point that more sensible newspapers
reached long ago. Nobody but the
Democrats and few dunder heads who
have nursed the third term sensation a.
a hobby. have at any time supposed that
the President would be candidate for
denomination. He has said and done
nothing to show that he wanted or ex-
pected such an honor. All that he has
said or done with reference to the sub
jeet points the other way. There is no
more sense or reason ia the third term

CINCINNATI Commercial: 1t is weak
ness TO think that with sixty Confeder-
ate officers and one hundred Democratic
brethren who are for peace when they
have their own way. drawn up in bait lie
array one side, and nearly one hundred
fierce and loyal Republicans on the
other side, a debate involving the ques
tiors of the war could long be avoided.
There was no possibility of evading the
war debate. Blaine merely forced the
fighting, and put it on the line where
be wanted it. In this he showed him
selfa consummate tactician, and a de-
batter of remarkable resources and
power.

LONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO" ="


Under this caption the Ohio State
Journal has an excellent article hitting
of the prevalent idea of the degeneracy
of the age, and setting forth some i'm
portant facts for the benefit of the croak-
ers for ''the good old times" la
answer to the statement that there was
greater public and private morality in
the times gone by, it says:
Were there no men who made haste
TO be rich in the old days! Were there
no traitors in the Revolutionary war;
Did all men speak well of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Jay, and
all the restl Alas there is no evil of
to-day that had not its complement in
the evils of one hundred years ago.
There is not case of fraud and embez-
element of to-day that may not be cap
ped with an instance from one hundred
years ago. There was no Benedict Ar
mold In the War of the Rebellion. The
epoch of the revolution can more than
cover the rebellion, pro rata, with tories
and traitors. Lincoln did not receive
more abuse than Hancock; Grant has
had less than Washington; and there is
no statesman of our time who has receiv-
ed 1.-THE of the abuse that was heaped
upon Jefferson, Adams, or Franklin. All
three of these were charged with being
traitors. Jefferson withdred from the
public services in disgust, for several
years; there is no parallel in our history
for the abuse heaped upon John Adams;
and Franklin was charged with having
made prudential league with his heir,
conveying his property so rs to secure it
to bis family, whether the King or the
colonists triumphed.
Our Spartan falls back triumphantIy
and asserts-they had no Beecher trial
one hundred years ago. Without hunt
ing up dates, we may retort, that the
great Wesley himself was indicted by a
Grand Jury for the same crime that was
charged upon Beecher by suspected
husband anda Mutual Friend, without
the finding of a Grand Jury. In any
event it is but one individual case
against another; and the alleged offense
of Beecher is no more the product of
our times than Wesley's alleged offense
was the product of ''the good old times"
The conclusion of the whole matter is,
that our Spartan is simply hankerer
without knowledge after the "good old
times" and the times of to-day are I'M
proved over the ''good old times" by all
the one hundred years of progress and
improved processes of invention, which
have added to the comforts and convent
ences of to-day.

WHEN tine consiitional amendments
were under consideration in this State a
year or two ago, they were by law adver-
tised extensively in the daily and weekly
papers throughout Ohio. This was a
necessary step toward bringing the
amendments so thoroughly before the
people that they could vote inteligently
upon them. For that advertising the
papers have sent in their bills, but have
received nothing. The State has the
accounts under advertisement. and the
paying process has been stopped by the
fact that two papers, the Cincinnati En-
guirer and Times. have sent in bills
which are considered extortionate
There is. as we understand, no trouble
about any other claims than those of the
two papers mentioned. All are duly
certified by the proper county officers,
and the state is ready to pay. We fail
to see why tile question concerning the
claims of the Cincinnati papers should
block the payment ofall the rest. There
is a committee in the Legislature EN-
powered TO examine and decide this
matter. 1t ought TO do business in a
bu.iness-li1e eway.-ClecelGnd Leader.

of the finest in appearenc that we re-

noticed as new and characteristic. To
begin with, nearly all the members are

cely q man that is younger than the
prime OF middle age, and there are many
white heads. Then, the members are
remarkably uniform in be of the intellec-

PREPAR RED B Y

Every year increases the populari-
ty Of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it il
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, az it stimulates and nOurishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, Md
State Assayerof Massachusetts,, says,
