The Radical papers and stumpers
are terribly alarmed about the pay
ment OF the rebel war debt and COM
pensating Southern men for the loss
or slaves If Tilden and Hendricks are
elected. They hope by their bowling
upon The subject to ,delude some peo-
pie into voting to continue the thieves
and corruptionists in Ipower!'9e But
they know that their, fears are all
groundless, and that the Constitution
positively forbids the doing of any
thing of the kind. Section 4 of Arti-
Gle IA of Amendments to the Constitu-
tion declare that " The, validity of the
public debt of the United States, au.
thorized by law, including dnbts in
Cured for payment of pensions and
bounties for services in suppressing
insurrection or rebellion, shall not be
questioned But neither the United
States nor any State shall assume or
pay any debt or obligation incurred
in aid Of insurrection /, or, rebellion
against the United States, or any claim
for the loss or emancipation of any
slave; but all such debts, obligations
and claims shall be held illegal and
void"
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1876-09-14

The lying slsnderous Radical sheets
and politicians that charge perjury
upon Mr.. Tilden claim that he should
have assessed, aud paid an income tax
on all the money received by him in
1862, though the greater share of it
was earned during the four years pri-
or 10 that, and to have taxed it would
have been downright robbery. No
body in the whole country paid taxes
under the income law on more than
the income for the year. All the high
est authorities entrusted with the ex-
ecution of thelaw decided that it was
only the receipts for services rendered
during the year 1852 which were sub
jectto tax for that year. ~ s4sr.u. so

MR.. EDITOR After quite q journey
and many grand sights, we find our
self in the little village of .Miffiins-
town, the County seat of Juniata Co.,
Pennsy sylvania, lS miles west Of Harris
hnrgh ,pn the line of the PennsylvAnia
Road. Business is dull in this part of
the country, aud the people are suffer-
ing OH account of the depression of the
times. There is not much excitement
sfIere about politics, but we learn there
are many Republicans who will sup
port Tilden and Hendricks. The
masses of the people seem to desire a
change. Great gains will doubtless be
made thfopghput the entire. East. n
IOdr Journey thus far lias been one
Of n1fcli curiosity as well as recdpera-
ton. Leaving Ravenna we first visit
ed the city of New York, arriving by
way of the Erie II. r., on Sunday
evening. August ~. After good
nights rest at the Cosmopolitan Hotel,
we visited many places of interest In
the great metropolis. We did not re-
gret the few hours ride around Central
Park, and enjoying the beautiful
scenery so lavishly made by the people
Of this city to feautify Ian ev4y day

From Central Park we took a street
car to Pier No. 2, North River, and
thence, by the steamer Americus, to
Rockaway Beach, on the coast of Long
Island, 80 miles from the city. 1t is,
indeed, a. sight to see the hundreds
here, and watch them bathing in the
surf. At this place, and all along the
coast, are accommodations ofall kinds
to suit the various tastes of the travel
ing public. AS. we had but short
time to stay we put in the time
in the most lively and enjoyable
way possible, Returning to the city
at j O'Clock, we visited Booths Theater
in the evening. Leaving New York
Tuesday morning, we arrived in Phil
adelpllia at 10 q. MI, in time to spend
most of the day ON the Exhibition
grounds. To speak. of the many sights
at the Exhibitioniwould be to re-write
pages that have already been written.

Rold Attempt to Rob a Bank.

ST. PAUL, MINI, September IA
Mortified, Minn., special TO the Pio-
neer says that about two O'Clock this
afternoon eight men, well mounted,
entered the town and proceeded to
the bank. Three entered it and
sprang over the counter and ordered
the cashier, j. L. Haywood, with
knife to his throat, to open the vault.
At the same time all persons in the
bank, A. E. Bunker, assistant cashier,
and Frank Wilcox, clerk, were orr
dered to hold up their hands. Mr..
Haywood refused to obey orders and
TO open the money vault. His neck
had been slightly scratched with
knife. Still persisting the robber put
the muzzle of pistol to his right tenn
pie and fired. Haywood fell dead.
They then turned to Mr.. Bunker and
ordered him to open the vault. He
said he did not know the combination,
AS the robbers made demonstrations
towards him he ran out the back door.
they fired at him, shooting him
through the shoulder. Mr.. Wilcox
was not interfered with. While this
was transpiring within the people OF
the city without were doing good
work. Two of the robbers were
killed outright and one wounded. The
wounded man was taken away by his
confederates. One of their horses
was killed and two captured. The
citizens of the city behaved like old
veterans, as many of them are. The
robbers did not get into the vault, nor
did they find the Cashiers drawer, ex-
cept the nickel drawer, and q handful
of nickles taken from it were thrown
asr
came to town before midday and
waited on the north side of the bridge
till the other four came to town from
Dundas. The men were well mount
ed and armed with navy revOlvers,
with cartridges in belts around their
bodies. When the robbers crossed
the bridge entering town they drew
their revolvers, and putting their
horses into full gall0p, dashed through
the streets, shouting to the people OIL
the walks to get inside, and ornament-
ing their shouts with most fiendish
curses and imprecatiOns. While the
three men were engaged i'll the bank,
the others stood on the street threaten
ing to shoot any one who lnterfered.
and firing several harmless shots. Pis-
tolls and guns were quickly secured
by the citizens. and young man
named Wheeler, from a window of
the opposite building, picked of one
of the villains, shooting HIM through
the heart. Another shot, thought to
be from Wheeler, Immediately after,
prostrated another, when the robbers
mounted their horses and beat re-
treat. The third robber was hit, but
escaped. A band of fifty citizens was
organized, aud headed by Wheeler,
started in pursuit. At last accounts
the robbers were only twenty-five
minutes ahead of the pursuers, and
are almost sure to be overtaken. There
are all sorts of reports as to the rob-
bers, many believing them to be some

The. Democratic Honse of Repre-
sentatives at the last session dimin-
ished the appropriations S3O,OOO,OOO,
and to that amount lessened the taxes
of the people. This was done against
the most determined opposition of
President Grant, his Cabinet and a
Radical Senate. Every man in the
nation rejoices to have a portion Of
the burden removed from his shoul-
ders. Yet how can he expect any such
result with the party in power that
has enormously increased the burden
till the country staggers under the
oppressive load. The only hope of re-
trenchment and reform il the election
of Samuel j. Tilden, who is not only
pledged to retrenchment and reform,
but who, as Governor of the great
State of New York has demonstrated
his Willingness and ability to carry
out the wishes of The people in this
respect. tiut s-,ttrr> .Yff.fs hHL baf
