G3-A number of the 18th ward roughs-the
gintlemen who helped to roll up such "magnii-
cent" majority for DR.. Henkle-met in Monument
Square, Baltimore, last Saturday afternoon and
engaged in their favorite amusement of knocking
down and dragging out. Mr.. Thomas Hogan, the
choice Democratic spirit, who brutally murdered
City Councilman Mulligan, one of the com
batants, and usual went down for his little pis
tol but before be had time to use it some friends
fnterfered and probably prevented another muir
der. The fight lasted some ten minutes and was
about over when the police arrived. When they
did get there the roughs were arrested, taken to
the station house and Immediately baled out by
some of their political friends

ne Not very agreeable state of affairs exists
at this time in Darke county, Ohio. For some
time past number of murders have been COM
mitted in that county by band OF outlaws, who,
upon notifying people to leave the county, and
on their not complying, their houses are visited
in the night and they brutally murdered.
The regulators go about mounted and the utmost
terror exists, people fearing to disobey their or
dears to leave lest they pay the penalty with
their lives. The object of the regulators is I'M
known, but it is known that some of them at least
are well tO-do citizens.

gs~ The city of Cape May, N. j., the great
summer seaside resort, was visited by terrible
confagration ON Saturday last which swept
through the principal portion of the city and
burned over at least forty acres of ground. The
fire was discovered in the attic of the Ocean
House at o'clock in morning and burned from
that time until nearly o'clock in the evening
Among the buildings destroyed are the we'll
known Congress Hall hotel, the Ocean House, the
Columbia House, Merchants Hotel Centre House.
and a number of other smaller hotels, summer cot
tages, &c. The loss will reach about S500,00O
nearly one-half of which is covered by insurance
This is the third time Cape May has been visited
by destructive confagratiOns, neither of the form
err ones, however, proving disasterous the
last. 1t is thought the fire of incendiary orr
gin as there had been no fire in the Ocean House
since the close of the season.

There Will Be No Split.

Greeneville Democrat: We think
we venture nothing in saying that
there will be no split in the Demo
cratic party of Tennessee over the
debt question. The Democracy of
Tennessee has been renowned for
the consistency of its constituent
parts from time immemorial, and
we do not believe that any question
can arise which will seriously dis
turb the even tenor of its way. Here
and there have been-and perpetp
ally will be-cat-a and dog scuffies
between local politicians, but they
are only the surface boils which in
dictate internal vigoF-mere con
Quits for the passage of surplus
bile, which serve both to solidify
the party at large and teach the re
calcitrant, in that hard school kept
by Mistress Experience that in
harmony and cooperation alone
is success.

The South and Specie Payments.

Judge Key, who spent some days
in Southern. States on his recent
trip, thinks that resumption is re
garded as practically settled. AT
several points where he Travelled,
greenbacks were actually preferred
TO gold, being worth as much, and
far more convenient for daily use.
The Southern people, lac thinks, re-
gard the question as settled, and
are pleased to have the country
once more on a specie basis.
To reach specie payment has
caused less shrinkage, and suffering
in the Southern States than in the
North and West, and business gen
orally in the South is better than
he expected to find it. AS to the
relations of the races, they were
never better, and all hands are at
work to repair their fortunes. The
out look in general in the South,
Judge Key regards as very encour-
aging.

Who Pay the Taxes.

Mr.. VIM. j. Sykes, of Columbia,
in letter on the financial condition
of Tennessee, written In response
to request from numerous citizens
of Hickman county, says in refer
ence to the payment of taxes: al
am aware the owners of property
have the debt to pay. The taxes
are paid out of the rents, or out of
that portion of the products COM
ing TO the owners of property, and
not out of the wages of labor, nor
from that portion of the produc-
tions belonging to the laborers.
1t would be different if the taxes
were levied upon corn, cotton, wheat
or other productions of the farm or
of the factory, but they are levied
upon the property and not upon the
productions. The rent of land and
the wages of labor depend not upon
State taxation but upon other
causes. The owners of property re-
ceived and will continue to receive
the benefits of the improvements
created by the debt, and 1t is there
fore right that they should pay
their portion of the debt in the same
manner that it is right for posterity,
which will enjoy the benefits of
these improvements more than we
will, TO pay the body of the debt.
Under our constitution 81, 900
worth of property in the hands of
every man, which amounts to $780,
100000, is exempt from taxation,
and this renders a large portion of
the people of the State non-taxpay
ers, except as to the poll tax, which
goes to the support of common
schools, and the very fact that
among these, who pay no tax ex-
cept the poll tax, is the greatest pc
cuniary distress, proves that, what
ever may be the cause of the hard
ness of the times, it is not State
taxation, and if the State tax were
removed entirely, this would afford
very little perceptible relief, espe
cially to the persons whom we have
described. No instance I am salts
fed, can be produced where a man
has permanently lost his land by a
tax sale, or where poor men have
had their household goods and their
small stock of provisions sold to
pay taxes. If there are any such
cases they are very rare, and are the
result of negligence. A fifty cents
tax is only one two hundredth part
of the value of the property taxed,
and that this should cause the loss
of the whole property is too ridicu
lous to be believed for a moment"

IRISH INDEPENDENCE.
Latest Phase of the Movement Look
ing to That End.
Irish Leaders in Consultation With
the Russian Authorities,

Dispatches say the British repre-
sentatives have positive information
that the chief object of the negotia-
tions of Irish leaders with the Rus
sian authoritiesfis the giving of as
surances that Ireland will be assist
ed, and that in case of war, the rev.
olution in Ireland will have aid and
cooperation of Russia. 1t is un-
derstood that in case an attempt is
made in Canada to enlist men for
foreign service, the Irish Brother
hood in the United States will make
feint, if not a direct attack, on
the Canadian border. The point
selected is near Buffalo, where the
International bridge affords means
of crossing. James Cassiety, of
Boston, is said to be in the vicinity
of the bridge at this day in charge
Of the preliminaries.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1878-05-09

Nothing can be more ridiculous
than the bowls of the country dem
agogue about taxation and the tax
collectors taking the horses and cat
tie of the people for taxes, and the
necessity of reducing taxation, when
a man who has sense enough to
know which fork to take at the
neighborhood crossroads, ought to
know that State taxes are at the
lowest ebb, ten cents on the hun
bred dollars, and not cent of this
money goes to pay the bonded debt
of the State. Tennessee is not pay
ing a cent on her bonded debt, and
yet these small canebrake states
men are raising loud outcry about
the oppression of the bondholders.
1t may be these gentry want the
State taxes reduced lower than ten
cents, but even then they would not
be satisfied. They would want then
an unsalaried Legislature to go to
the seat of government and pass at
their own expense an act to prevent
anybody from paying anything to
anybody, and take up a subscription
among the legislators to pay for the
print ting and publication of the act.
Verify the whole thing is Jackass-
ism run mad.-Bro1OnsUille Democrat.
