Onr Future Tax Bills.

The public debt is a Democratic
legacy to the taxpayers, every dol
lar Of which must come from the
earnings of the people. But the taxes
of the past were light compared with
the prospective taxes of the future.
The payment by the Democratic
party, should they again Obtain con
troll of both Houses of Congress, of
very large Sums for the liquidation
ofSouthern war claims, is real peril
and not a campaign alarm. The
Constitutional amendment quoted by
Democrats as d bar to the payment
of such claims has no relation what
ever to that large and increasing class
of claims which grows out Of the use
and destruction by our army of the
property Of individuals, private cor
porations, or municipalities.
The variety of these claims is al
most infinite, their present volume
is appalling, and they grow so rapid
~ that we can find nothing in nature
to which we could liken them. Mr..
Voorhees, and Mr.. Hendricks both
agree that the claims Of loyal men
may be paid by Congress, and the
letter quotes Senator Morton as
favoring it. Very good but what is
loyalty? GoYernor Morton and Mr..
Voorhees, have a different standard.
The former would not have admit
ted under that description any man
who in the great struggle did not say,
do, or suffer something for this coun-
try. Mr.. VOORHEES, would not be 81
strict. So that it is a matter of the
greatest importance to the county
that the jury which is to sit upon this
great mass. Of claims shall have Il
good understanding of what loyalty
means, and a good disposition not to
lower the standard.
And in this connection it would be
as well to keep in mind that the
claims already presented to Congress
are another manifestation Of over
eagerness. 1t will be well for the
country if it is warned by these to
keep out of the detile where the am.
bush is laid.

Secretary McCrary is iubilant over
the Ohio victory. He says eff in the
very agonies of resumption, as it
were, Ohio can be carried against its
postponement, it foreshadows that
the party which advocates honest
money is to be popular with the great
masses of the people," This is pre-
cisely the thing which makes the
cipher Democracy so respondent
now.

The latest dodge of the Democracy
in the State of New York is that of
its State committee in sending circu-
lar instructions Ito the county COM
mittees to forward the address of
every minister in the counties, and
also the address of five active mem
bers of each church. When the Dem
ocracy attempt to enlist ministers of
the Gospel and religious and tenn
perance people in their behalf effron-
tery has reached it's climax.

MAKE A NOTE HERE.-A claim
agent writes that he called on a
Southern gentleman who was said to
have made out a heavy claim against
the Government, and that the fol-
lowing was the result of the inter
view: 81 asked him to let me take
his papers with me and put them in
process of collection. He replied
that he had been 100 disloyal, and
the claim would be rejected F.; but that
he would wait until the Democracy
got into power, when all such items
would be paid, adding that he knew
numbers Of just such cases waiting
the same day,

Our Whole Duty.

No apathy now. No sick list. We
are on the march. We shall not de-
serve the victory that surely awaits
us unless we do our whole duty. Let
there be no skulking. The enemy
knows we are in earnest; let him
feel that it is an absolute fact. We
need every solid man. Do not let us
deceive ourselves in believing that a
victory at the skirmish line decides
the battle. We have the advantage,
and it will be our own fault if we do
pot pluck victory.

Magnifying Their Own Sins.

Let Democratic journals and ora
tors howl over the debts and taxes
their war has brought. They but
magnify their own sins. Will any
responsible member Of the Demo
cratic party dare to deny that every
dollar Of debt is a Democratic lega-
cy? Every tax is Democratic
gift. Generation after generation will
carry the Democratic burden from
birth to death. But for the Demo
cratic party our people would hardly
have known the nature Of taxation.
But for the Democratic party the
hundreds Of thousands Of young men
whose bones are streWn over the
South would now be productive la
borers and the support and comfort
of families now desoate.

"We have not been opposed to the
nomination of any of the able and

Fifty.seven faithful pastors of
churches in the South, who remain
ed to minister consolation to the sick
and dying, have fallen victims to
the yellow fever. OF these twenty
five were Catholics, thirty one were
Protestants, and one Jewish rabbi.
Father Marley, Catholic priest,
died on Saturday at Whistler, Ala
bama. At Mobile there were three
deaths on Saturday, and fourteen
new cases, but it is now hoped that
the pestilence will soon be arrested,
as there was a frost extending nearly
throughout the infected districts on
Friday and Saturday nights. At
Memphis the frost was severe, and
ice formed a sixteenth of an inch
thick. There was also frost at Chat
tanooga, Atlanta, Vicksburg, Holly
Springs, Louisville, and many other
points. Memphis reports no need OF
any more money there. There has
as yet been no frost at New Orleans,
but the weather there is cool and
bracing, and has had a favorable
effect in diminishing the number OF
new cases,

A Crime Against Humanity.

The Republican party has mag
nificent record. Its wisdom, loyalty,
courage, fidelity to public trusts, and
noble devotion to the rights of man
challenge the worlds admiration.
The Democratic party has a record
over which every American citizen
should blush. Its treachery, dishon-
esty, disloyalty its base use of pow
err its devotion to slavery when that
institution controlled the nation, and
its slavish submission to those lead
ers who have outlived the wrong
they could not save, stamp il as a
party unworthy of confidence, emit
tied only to infamy and scorn.
To exchange this party of freedom
for this sin-begotten shadow of slav-
cry would be a crime against human
ity and disgrace to civilization.

"The good time coming" is almost
here. In less than three months the
rage and folly of regulators Of and

the business of the country and the

Keep It Before the People.

From this time to The day Of cleo
ton every Republic Il should con-
slider himself worker and exert
himself to tn, best of his ability.
Only few can shine on the stump,
but all can have some influence in
his social circle. If there is a doubt
ing neighbor go to him and incline
him to support the right, place the
true issue before him, show him that
it is not question Of currency or
tariff, or mere control of offices, but
one Of vital importance-the future
safety of the Government itself.
Keep this before the people and keep
up the quiet work that is all.essen-
tial to success. Organize Tor this pur-
pose, and perfect organization so eff
fectually that each voter will be a
power influencing other voters to dc
their duty.

General Grant was received will

General Grant was received with
almost royal h0nors on his arrival in
Spain. On entering Spain he was
welcomed by a delegation Of officers
of King Alfonso's staff and invited
to the Royal car. On reaching San
Sebastian General Grant was received
by X-President CASTELAR,. The mill
tary guards at the stations were
doubled and the General was saluted
as the train passed. At Nittoria on
alighting he was conducted to the
Palace Of the Ayuntamento, and on
Thursday was welcomed by the
King, and side by side they rode at
the head of the column over the IA
nous battlefield Of Nittoria. Friday
the General dined with the King, re-
viewed the Spanish troops and, in
the evening, left for Madrid.

This year the Democratic party has
abjured its principles, violated its
traditions, and abandoned the ideas
which have shone as a beacon upon
its pathway, and given to its pa t
history its chiefest glory and it was
done, as many other coWardly things
have been done, for eXpediency's
sake, under an allurement of ambi-
ton, and in the vain hope that turn
ing upon its past and uniting with
the Nationals, it might march to the
heights Of power. Whatever else the
people Of this country may have
done, they have never permanently
condded in any man or in any party
whose principles are for sale, and it
is to the deep discredit of the Demo.
cratic party that by their own confes-
sion, they mo longer believe in any,
thing.

There is a short way of dealing
with the tWaddle the Democrats are
pouring out upon the country con-
corning the awful Republican cipher
dispatches which they want publish
ed. The most important cipher dis
patches of which anything is known,
are those Of Mr.. William f. Chand-
Ter. He has openly declared that he
is not only willing, but would be
glad to ihave the opportunity to
translate his dispatches, furnish the
key, and place the matterin evidence
before the Potter Committee. When
he was on the stand, he tried to get
the examination turn in that direc
ton, and the Democrats carefully
headed him off. They can get all the
information on that subject they
want any day, by simply calling the
Potter Committee together. But
they WON'T do it.

THE NATIONS SHAME.-In foul
of the free States of this Union,
having Republican maiorities rang
ing from l4,0OG to $4,000, men dare
not put a Republican ticket in the

will be killed not like men in brave

dogs while sleeping in their beds.

Welcome news, indeed, comes up
from the Southwest. The long night
ofagony in the fever districts is pass
ing away and the dawn is coming at
last. The darkness has hung over
the land since early July, and the
aggregate of victims is in the neigh
borhood of twelve thousand. But to
estimate the calamity we have to
think not only of the deaths, but al
50 of the loss to industrial and bust
ness interests of the paralysis of
trade, of the cotton standing UNI
gathered in the fields and of the in
fiicti II visited upon all capital. But
the people must rise up and again
put forth their energies in industrial
pursuits, and in this they will have
the hearty aid Of the rest of the coun-
try, which in the hour of extremity
poured forth lis money like water,
gladly giving it to the help of the
afflicted There will, of course. be
deaths yet to occur from the plague,
but few new cases, and soon there
will disappear from the new spapers
that ominous column which daily
recorded the roll of the sick and dead.
