Closing the Canvass,

The citizens of the thriving little
village of Lancaster will to-day wit
ness a gathering of candidates, the like
of which has not been witnessed for
many moons. That fortunate village
has been selected by the candidates as
the most fitting place to close the cam
paign, and wind up with grand jol-
LITIGATION. The HERALD only regrets
that it is not of the proportions of its
distinguished New York contemporary
of the same name, for then it would be
possible to publish synopsis of the in
teresting orations that will necessarily
be confined to the immediate hearers.
However, THE HERALD will be repre-
sented on the occasion, and furnish its
readers with an epitome of the pro-
ceediDgs.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDnE4

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDHENTS
Last week our article on this SUBJ
ject had reference to those amend
ments looking to change in the
length Of sessions of the Legislature,
the length Of time for which Iegisla-
tors are elected and the increase of
their per diem.
We come now to consider Of the
third section of the proposed amend
ments. 1t says:
'Amend Article 2, Section %, by
striking out of the sixth and seventh
lines after the word except" in the
sixth line, the words Zone thousand dol
lars worth of personal property in the
hands of each taxpayer"
1t will be readily seen that this
has reference to the exemption of
personal property from taxation.
and proposes to abolish the exemp-
ton.
The constitutional provision ex-
emptiDg from taxation $1,000 worth
of personal property is radically
wrong in principle, and fails TO reach
the end sought.
1st. 1t encourages men to keep
their means in personally and pre-
vents investment in real estate. If
$1,000 worth of property is to be
exempt from taxation, it ought to
be 81 900 worth of real estate.
I'd. The provision was intended
for the benefit of the poor, whereas
there are very few of our people
who own that much personal proper
ty; and those who do. need no such
protection. The effect is to protect
the well-to-do, and to some extent
the wealthy. in the name of the poor.
Sd. All men who receive the pro-
lection of the laws. and live in the
the State, ought to help bear its bur
dens to just such an extent as they
receive the benefits derived. 1t is
therefore unfair to exempt one mans
property from taxation, and tax that
of another. For these reasons we
the Sd section of the proposed
amendments.

A BOY IN BLUE ON HAYES.
An Ugly Story Retold by One of
His Soldiers.
CLEVELAND, o., Aug 30. 1876.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 30. 1876.
To the Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
SIR: l think that so far from this
$500 business being SANDER on
Governor Hayes. that it Is very far
short of the full amount of his prof.
its in that transaction. We started
from Columbus with about two hun
dred recruits for Hayes's Brigade,
every one of whom received from
$500 to $500 bounty. This money
was all in the hands of the officer
having US in charge on the way, and
was handed 10 General Hayes on our
arrival at the brigade headquarters.
Of the 200 men nearly one-half OF
them deserted on the way, leaving
their money in the officers hands.
They were professional bounty jumn-
ers, and feared the same fate as
Hall, the deserter. When they en-
listed they did not know the money
would be taken from them ut Colum-
bus, and they intended TO desert at
the first opportunity, without going
to the front. When they found they
must go to the front to get it they
determined TO jump out without their
money. While we were crossing the
Allegheny Mountains on the Penn
sylvania Railroad they deserted.
Now, what became of all this money
Not less than seyenty-fye men de-
serted, leaving their money in the
officers hands. This money was
handed over to Hayes. What did
he do with it? 1 remember that the
boys at the time all believed it was
divided among the officers at the
Brigade Headquarters, Hayes, OF
coure, getting the lions share. We
never heard OF its being handed over
to the Government or expended for
any public purpose. If it was, of
course Hayes has receipts for it. 1
think there can be no doubt but that
Hayes and his officers pocketed it.

WAS IT PERJURY?

James H. Randolph, of "Resolu-
ton No. 49, notoriety, went volun-
tarily to Nashville in 1861-he vol
UNFAIRLY appealed 10 God as wit
ness of the truth, that he would we'll
and truly support tie Constitution
of the Confederate States. No COM
pulsion forced him to Nashville-no
compulsion forced him to take that
oath.
Now the question is, did Randolph
swear the truth, when he took an
oath to support the rebellion? Did
he mean 10 do what he swore he
would do? If so, then what becomes
OF his boosted loyalty to the Federal
Government? If not-what then ?
Did he perjure his soul in the sight
of God and man? Let him tell the
people how it was.

CHATTANOOGA LETTER.
COL. JAMES COMPLETELY OVER
THRO VS. COZ FOOTE

THU VS. GOI. FOOIh.
CHATTANOOGA, Sept 16, 1916.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Gov. Foote and Col. James-''our
Eb," as the Chattanoogans proudly say
had political tussel here last night
and the Governor retired from the fight
considerably worsted. 1t was the most
ENJOYABLE affair for the Democratic part
of the audience of any political meeting
1 ever attended. l have always admir-
ed Col. James, but had no idea he was
the skilled political gladiator he proved
himself to be last night He knocked
the bark off, or rather shook the dust
out of that old fossilifcrous egotist every
blow. It was plain to every one that
the Governor had "waked up the wrong
passenger that time" and his surprise
and uneasiness were very palpable. But
only started out to say, it was signal
victory for the Democrats and Col.
James proved himself able to meet and
overthrow Gov. Foote, or "any other
man" the Republicans can bring for
ward. 1t is rich treat to hear him, and
when he speaks In East Tennessee every
man, woman, and child in the country
should go to hear him. They will be
amused and instructed Hastily,
