The folly of the Democratic Legisla-
lures action in fixing job for some ia
vorite Democratic printing office, by re-
curing all tax receipts for State and
county to be provided by the Auditor, is
becoming manifest. Tax Collector
Wood has been writing for weeks and
telegraphing, to get receipt books for
the tax of 1876, and has so far got no
receipts and no satisfaction. He is
pressed for time and delay is detrimen-
tai, yet he must wait till he can get re-
ceipts according to the Procrustean form,
which the jobbers that fixed up that part
Of the revenue law prescribed .-Natchez
Democrat.
Had the Democrat taken the trouble
to ascertain the facts, the unreasonable
complaint Of the Radical sheriff OF
Adams county would not have found
vent in its columns. The above is dated
the 14th inst. The receipt books from
Adams we're forwarded from this Office
on the 9Th inst, and express charges
prepaid to Yicksburg in order that there
shiieeaald be no delay in delivery to the
Natchez packet. The sheriff was alsc
notified by postal card Of the shipment
We cannot see how the sheriffis ''pressed
for 4:-ns." when the taxes are not col
IectabIe until October. This jOurna
had nothing whatever to dO-directly g
indirectly in ''fxing job" out Of the
Revenue Law, and We were as ignorant
as the Democrat of its provisions until i
was handed in for publication. So ia
as the Law has imposed duties upon m
Public Printers, they Haye done theil
utmost to discharge them faithfully

In April, 1873, Mr.. Hayes uncle re-
turned his taxables for the same property
which was left Hayes as a fortune, 81
9S2-Ehich was considered ridiculously
inadequate representation of the swollen
estate. Yet, in 1874, only year later,
Gov. Hayes, who was not without pro-
perty of his own before, reduced the &c.
9S2 to the amazing 1851 shown in4his
own statement under oath. The next
year, 1875, as if conscious that this ex-
traordinary falling of must be noticed
by the officials, he cautiously in
creased the whole taxable list in a for
tune of half million Of dollars to &c.
1870. On the very same properties which,
three years before, his uncle had returned

list down again to s., ITO; though a. tn,
records show, his property had really in
creased instead of diminishing.

ALL things are working together for

of Lucius Robinson for Governor of
New York is the best that could have
been made. He will unite all the di-

"Lucius Robinson, of Chemung county,
was yesterday nominated for Governor by
the Democratic convention at Saratoga.
This is a selection fit to he made. For 20
years Mr.. Robinson has been known to the
people of this State as public man OF ex-
allied patriotism, eminent ability, spotless
integrity, and faithful and assidueus devo-
ton to duty. He first distinguished him
self in the Legislature at Albany as a stren-
| uous friend Of economy and merciless en-
envy ofevery form of bribery and extr2Ya-
gance. Always a Democrat In principle

Nov she Radical Leader. Treas

The professions of the Radical dema-
gogues that they are the ''best friends"
of the colored people are decidedly rich.
They have used and abused them ike
pack-horse, and deluded them with prom
ises they have never fulfilled. For years
the Southern State Legislatures and
Executive Offices and county offices were
filed With adventurers who we're elected
by the votes of the colored people; and
ia the same manner, the same sort were
almost the sole representatives, of the
Southern States in Congress. But hcw
did they show their friendship for the
" wards Of the nation" on whose backs
they had vaulted into Office p?
They established Freedman's Bank,
in which the creduIous black. were per-
suaded to put their earnings where they
would be safe from the thieves who could
not break through and steal. The result
was the whole sum, amounting to million.
of dollars, was divided out among them
selves and the poor deceived blacks re
ceived nothing.
In Mississippi the same fellows VIII
are so considerable of the interests of tn
eolored people, stole upwards of seve
/. hundred thousand dollars of the fun
: which had been collected for commo
I school purposes.

twill be seen that this banker construes
the original act properly. He construes it
as does Attorney General Pierrepont and
Mr.. Charles O'C6nor. He construes the
action of the present House in trifiing with
the promises of its predecessor as repudia-
ton. The result is already seen in the
weakening of prices for all Government
bonds, and considerable sales by foreign
bankers who are always the keenest to
scent danger from afar. These foreign
bankers foresee in this Democratic policy
a risk for which we shall have to pay in
continued high rates of interest. Congress
need not worry itself about four and four
and half per cents, if it is bound to per-
severe in its present attacks upon public
credit. Secretary Bristow will soon want
six per cents in which to refund the ma.

"NoT NOW; wait until after the Presi-
dental election" So some men say in
answer to appeals to give the country re-
lief from the Central and Union Pacific
monopoly. That delay may not be quite
as safe as they imagine. A great many
voters showeda determination to break up
these and other monopolies at the last
election of members of Congress. The
men sent here for that purpose may not
receive a hearty welcome home if they
enlist as defenders Of the most dangerous
and extortionate monopoly in the country.
Members from the South best know
whether the people Of that section are so
prosperous that they will be pleased to
have their material interests neglected, as
usual, until after another election. Men
from the iron and coal regions best know
whether those greatindustries are so pros
porous that an opportunity to revive them
should be neglected until after the election.
If it is a good thing to give the country
relief from a great monopoly; if it is a
good thing 10 give business to our mines
and furnaces; if it is good thing to give
some small fraction of justice to the South.
probably it may be well to grant aid to
the Texas and Pacific without waiting a
wear.

CERTAIN New York papers are much
alarmed just now lest the blessed Constitu-

subsidized. However, it costs money to
run a newspaper, and Gould and Hunting

think that the last human virfue Ia dead, and
that Dana Is her sole surviving orphan He goes
on with all the epithets In the calendar of infamy,
and winds up every diatribe with '.tf Bsecher Is
not guilty let him prove himself innocent" or
words TO this effect. Now, In this case, there Is
but one Of two things for Beecher's friends to do
If they wish to silence the New York Sun on the
subject Of the scandal. They must either pay
Dana or colrhide him. Blackmail would doubt
less be the more effectual mode, since IL is
lated that when this csnsummate villain went
into the New York Sun he remarked, i have
heretofore tried various ways for making money
and failed: now am going to make it;' and he

quarter. He has raked in the greenbacks "ln
