We are permitted 10 make the fol.

friend In Boston: "Gen. Simpson, the
Chairman OF tho Committee who were

Cured Gay or two ago, during an ex-
cursion down the bay, given TO the

that he had not yet heard anything OF

They will also note that the levieS
prior to 1876 did not provide for taking
up the scrip of the county. For iu-
stance, all the county scrip was bonded
in 1871, and in 1872, Notwithstanding
the bonds of 1871 and levy OF l5]I
mills in 1872, in 1873 the county was so
flooded with scrip that another series
of bonds had to be issued to take up
the county scrip, and a series of bonds
issued 10 take up the school scrip.
These bonds have figured very con-
spicuously since their issuance. Last
year l3 mills had TO be levied on &C.
count Of these old bonds and warrants
and this year IL mills. We also pre-
sent q comparative tabular statement OF
State and county taxes for the last six
years. This will be very valuable to
our readers for reference:

appreciate the blessings of peace and
order, as maintained under the restora-

that they are willing 10 ally
themselves with all good white
citizens to perpetuate the present
satisfactory condition of affairs. The
colored people of the whole county
would do we'll 10 follow the example Of
their brethren of HickoryTree, and thus
show that they recognize the fact that

THERE have been hundred different

In some Of these the financial questions

deduce from the result In Ohio the real
feeling of the people Of the West, on
those many financial questions, now
among the leading Issues Of the day. In
Wisconsin, however, It is different
There, the Republicans and Democrats
differ wholly and materially on all
these money questions, The Republi-
can platform declares that there has
been no contraction in tho currency {;
that there is now enough currency, and
moro than enough; that tho bonds
ought 10 be paid IN gold; and finally
that the resumption act is needed By
the country, and must not be repealed.
On all these points the Democrats hold
the directly opposity theory. They
want more currency, want the bonds
paid in greenbacEs and want the re.
sumption act repealed. These issues
have been made the leading ones in
the canvass, and on these issues the re-
suit OF the vote in November depends.
