"We are in favor of the retirement
of the National Bank currency say

vention at Portsmouth. Thereupon
they proceed to select a National
Bank President to represent them in
the National Democratic Convention!
1t reminds us of the same organiza-

things.

The Democratic House, at Wash
ington, passed resolution, calling
upon the President for statement of
the time of his various absences
from the Capital, and what official
acts had been done when thus absent.
The President answered this inquiry
on Thursday. Practically, he told
the House, that the resolution was
impudent, and worthy of no reply.
He affirms his constitutional power
to do executive acts away from the
seat of government, and supports this
by historical precedents. from Wash
ington down. Accompanying the
message is memorandum of the ab-
sences of the different Presidents,
which shows that Gen. Grant has
really spent less time away from
Washington, in view of railroads and
telegraphs, than any other President.
Washington was absent 1S1 days;
John Adams 3S5 days; Jefferson, the
pretended father of our present Dem
ocratic organization, was absent 796
days, or more than one-f fourth of his
whole official period; Madison 637
days; Monroe 70S days, and SO ON
through the list.
The democrats have found out that
it is not desirable to play "hide and
seek" with President Grant. There
is too much of the Andrew jackson
metal in him.

June Taxes.

HvAX-PAYERS will take notice that
- the Treasurer's Office will be open
from the
1st day of May until the Goth day
of june, 1876,
for the Collection of the June Taxes
without penalty, being the last half of
the Tax of 1873. All property on which
the Taxes have not been paid when the
Treasurer makes his semi-annual settle
ment, will be returned DELINQUENT
to the County Auditor, and on such Tax
the law adds penalty of twenty per
cent. Some Tax Payers have the erro-
neous idea that if their Taxes are not
paid in June no penalty will be added,
but the law clearly states that Taxes re-
manning unpaid when the Treasurer
makes his semi-anuual settlement must
have a penalty of twenty per cent. ad-
ded to the Tax. Taxpayers will find it
TO their advantage to use their utmost
effort to settle their taxes promptly, and
avoid paying the penalty.
The Treasurer requests that taX-pay-
ers bring their December receipts, when
they come to settle their June tax.
