If it be made to appear plainly and
unquestionably by the courts of Louis
ana that Mr.. Hayes was not made pres
ident by the people and he resign the
office, the Vice President might be
forced by public opinion to pursue the
same course. But will Wheeler obey
the DEGREES of this opinion? and would
not Mr.. Hayes's resignation be deemed
national calamity? The press and
people object to any such action on
the part of the President. Whatever
of confusion and disorder and change
party-leaders and Cffice-seekers may
deem desirable, the great body of the
people would have the silver bill en-
acted, the volume of currency aug
mented, greenbacks supplsnt bank
notes and popular industry and
activity in trade reproduced.
The retirement of Hayes and
Wheeler and the Inauguration of
q presidential election 10y the House
and by the people would result in in
finite disorders, Idleness and needless
popular excitement. There is nothing.
of course, to be gained by the substi-
tutien of q bondholder aud hoarder of
gold and railway wrecker, like TildeD,
for MIR. Hayes; and there is orly evil
and nothing good to be achieved by
the Presidents voluntary retirement
from an office gwen him by the Con-
stitutiOn and laws, If not 10y the peo-
pie, of the United States.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY.

A correspondent writing from Round
Rock says: 1T is jost as you say.
Taxation Is Intolerable. We Gran
gers are Lot making one per cent. on
our farms, and just half of that is TAX
en- away by tax-gatberers to pay inter-
est on State bonds held by the fellows
down East who wear the royal purple
and crowd the Hobbies of the House at
Washington to defeat the silver bill. "
The system of taxstion must be COL
formed to this terrible contraction Of
values aud of currency, and assessments
must relate to the present cash value
of property as made valueless by
Sherman's thumbscrew." Therefore
do We approve the proposition that the
Legislature should be convened that
intolerable burdens of taxation may be
alleviated. II Is also time that in the
presence of Countless tramps and of a
mighty volume of colored vagraney
the Constitution should be so amended
that in municipal elections none ex-
cept taxpayers may vote. Towns and
cities Of Texas, aside from Federal
burdens, are taxed an average of two
and half per cent, and assessors
measure values with eyes single to the
delights of officeholders, and the PEG
pie are mercilessly plundered.
