McliREaoR, true to his old love, thus
gushes over Jeffyrson Davis's new book;
This wonderful work is the only al
curate and truthful history of the great
war that bas been written, and undoubt-
edly the best one that will be written,
and the one that will remain as standard
authority of that great struggle as long as
the Government of the United States
shall endure" r.
Now we haven't the remotest idea
that Mac ever read chapter of this Won
derful work. The above is simply the
result OF habit. He has so long lauded
everything connected with JEFF Davis
and the great struggle" that he cannot
now help piping in the same key,-AHt'
anCe Review.
Cannot the R,vieU recognize the Re-
publican publishers advertising notice?
True, we have not seen the work; but
the publishers are using Republican as
we'll as Democratic journals that have a
circulation, to extol and praise Mr.. Da'
vis's book. We hope to get it soon and
read it, as "result of habit"
If Mr.. Davis had been tried, convicted
and executed ON that "sour apple tree,"
he could not have written that book. As
it is, he writes from his stand point, and
it will be valuable on that account. Ev.
cry reading man should have it for Pc
rusal. The war between the states is
over, and its history should be written
and read. The truth of history should
be desired, and it is very narrow and
small, even in the ReUietO, to ow thus
its bitterness. g..

THE Repository, it would seem, is dis.
posed to pile it up steep upon T. G. Sny'
der, for Representative. The Rep. fairly
gushes over his statesmanship. ACCc rd-
ing to the Chinese organ Mr., Snyder was
distinguished legislator, drafting i'm
portant measures, and putting them
through like a Daniel Webster, John G..
Calhoun, II hry Clay, or any other man.
Two important mining bills received
his fatherly care. He labored to prepare
them with great ability, and was emf
nently successful, according to the RepO8-
itory. We would not for the world pluck
a single flower from the wreath that
adorns his sinCiput; but truth Compels
US to say tie most Of this gush is fiction.
In the first place, one of the bills credit
ed to Snyder was Senate bill, and the
other, though introduced by him, was
not drafted by him at all. Indeed, when
the bill was offered 10 Mr., Snyder he
rather hesitated, and it was not until he
was told plainly there we're other gentle.
men who would father the measure, that
he took it. s..
Thefact is that during the two ses ,ions
T. G. Snyder has served, he drafted no
bill, did not even attempt it, and should
be commended for it. What is the use
of the Rep. trying to make a Napoleon
out of Snyder, when he is inflated
enough now. The Rep. should really
quit this thing ofmaking great men out
of very common tads.

PRIOR to 1861 the Democracy CONTROL
ed the general government for many
years, took the country through the Mex
iCan war, 1846 and AZ, and collected the
entire revenue, except small amount
collected from the sales of public lands,
by means of tariff taxation. Tariff tax
alton, then, is the Democratic mode of
collecting revenue to carry on the gov.
eminent.
Never did the Democracy, through
convention or by its legisl ltion when in
power, establish or proclaim free trade ;"
Why, then. do Reptile organs charge us
with "free trader"
There is quite difference between an
iniquitous, unjust, robbing, monopoly
tariff, and one equable, just and fair to
all interests and to all industries! This
is the difference between Republican
and Democratic tariff. Under the Re.
publican monopoly affair came the panic
of 1878, and business ruin for years.
The business revival is mainly owing
to the large crops Of cotton, grain, &C.,
in this country; and the scarcity in Eu.
rope. Even now many leading indust.
les are tiCklish. The frequent strikes
are indicative of this, to say nothing of
other ind dications. The only safe rule in
and especially in taxation, is
even handed justice. Our government
has the power of taxation for the pur.
pore Of raising revenue to carry on the
government.

EXTRACTS FROM SENATOR SEsaIoNs's
TEsTIMoNY.-Before the investigating
committee at Albany, Senator Sessions
testified as follows:
"I got 5000 for my work on the Post
Office bill. Long after that acted as lob.
byist off and on. l acted as such six or
seven years. During that time came
here as lobbyist annually. l advocated
such bills as received pay for"

"I have talked 10 a member Of the
Legislature to get votes for Mr.. Depew.

Of June that l had secured vote. l
thought had got Mr.. Bradley to vote
for him."
In the conflict Of testimony as to the
attemptto bribe Mr.. Bradley, these ad
missions from Mr.. ssssions's own lipI
may aid essentially in reaching q righ'
conclusion. .9.

The Cheapest in the City!

The Cleveland Voice declares that
the facts about the Republican situation
in Ohio are simply that circumstances
have happened to bring about complete
harmony in the party. That is to say
that all the stalwarts, all the Grant men
and Conkling men are overAowins with
love for Garfield and Foster, and that
all the friends of John Sherman are ac-
tuated by an enthusiastic and burning
desire to love their enemies, to do good
to those who hate them and revile them
and despitefully use them. Well if this
be so, the facts will appear in the re-
turns of the election, and we shall re-
cord them with the same interested equa-
nimity with which we have recorded the
facts respecting other elections. Ohio
is glorious and wondrous state; and
yet the men of it, as we'll as the women,
contain a great deal of human nature.

SENATOR Strahan, of the New York
Senate, before the Bribery Investigation
Committee at Albany, testified that q.
S. Commissioner Davenport offered to
have him (strahan) appointed to the
Marshalship by the President; and that
he asked if he would be expected to
vote against Conkling, when Davenport
replied he would. Davenport testified
and substantially Corroborated strahan's
statement. 1t is pretty evident that the
Presidential power is being applied
where it will do the most good.

REVERSING A DECISIoN.-Judge Nc
Kinney yesterday reversed the decision
of the Probate Court, in the proceedings
by the Connotton Valley Railway COM
pany against the city of Cleveland and
others, and set the case for trial in the

AT Albany Bradley makes distinct

prOfering bribes. This is a fine Gar,
