THE OHIO GOvERNORsHIP.
John sherman IBesought TO
Take the FieId-.ylr. Eslaine's
UIoOk

WASHINGTON, April 21.--John
Sherman is being begged and be-
sought to take the field in Ohio, but
so far he sullenly refuses. Every
train brings an Ohio Statesman or
two to implore Sherman to reconsid-
er and to assure him that he is the
only man that can be the Joshua of
the Republicans in Ohio. They do
not add what everybody knows-that
Sherman has piles of money, and al
though close in his expenditure and
sharper than all the Jews in Israel in
his business transactions, he never
theless spends his money freely in
buying political, preferment when it
is necessary. 1t will take an enor-
nous amount of money for the Ohio
campaign and the Republicans want
Sherman to head the ticket, princi-
pally because he is so well "heeled."
But they can't guarantee his election
even If he were to consent to spen-
ding all they want him to spend
and until that can be assured Sena-
tor Sherman will let somebody else
take she post of danger. There is
one man in this city who profoundly
distrusts Senator Sherman, and that
is General Sherman. "John has al
ways been in politics" he said one
day, and added, after pause, "and
the worst-kind of politics too"
The retirement of Gen. Sherman
will break up the circle of STAFF Of
ficers that have been so comfortably
quartered in Washington for so many
years. Col. Tourtellotte, the tag of
royalty, will b.ve to return to "those
vile guns" which are his detesta-
ton, as well as that of the medieval
dude mentioned by Shakespeare.
Col. Morrow will have to take his
melancholy way to Arizona, Gen.
Poe, will be relegated to Detroit, but
a soft place will be found for Col
Tidball. He will be putin command
at Fortress Monroe in place of Gen.
Getty, who will retire in few months.
Mr.. Blaine is said to be progress
ing wonderfully in his new book and
Mr.. Bell, the Hartford publisher, ex-
poets to make 100000 on it. 1t is
to be sold by subscription and
large force of canvassers, it is said,
are out working for it, The next
thing is, what will Mr.. Blaine do
when his book is finished? He keeps
very quiet, visits scarcely at all and
is evidently deeply engaged about
something. Perhaps he will explain
in his book how he happened, from
being the most VIGOROUSLY hardup
and impecunious members of Con
gross, to became almost millionaire
in the short space of eight years,
while pursuing no calling except that
of politics. 1t requires uncommonly
good management for Congressman,
and especially Senator who has a
family, to live on his pay; but when
it comes to saving on it approaches
the supernatural.

1t is thought that fully a month
will be consumed in the closing ar
guments of tie star route case. The
task Of summing up five months OF
testimony is one rarely imposed up
on lawyers. This is case of I'M
usual Importance and unusual pro-
portions. The Question involved from
the standpoint of public interest is
not whether the star route ringsters,
personally, shall escape or not. The
question at issue in this trial dwarfs
all personal considerations into in
significance. 1t is test Of the pow
or of the government to protect itself
against organized fraud and corrup-
ton. 1t is to determine whether an
unfaithflil official who prostituted
the trust reposed in him for private
gain; who, under the guise of i'm
proving the public service, trans
ferred the money Of the people To a
ring, of which he was a member and
tool, shall be permitted to rcvcl in
his ill-gotten gains in the very sight
of the people he has robbed. 1t is a
question as to the power of our laws
to punish deliberately planned and
executed fraud upon the Treasury.
The existence of the conspiracy as
charged in the indictments is no
longer matter of doubt. That fact
has been established by volumes Of
evidence, and it has also been proved
that the conspirators by illegal means
and practices defrauded the govern
ment out of hundreds of thousands
of dollars. On the first day of his
argument Mr.. ker has shown that it
is not his purpose to waste time in
oratorical flights or preliminary
skirmishing. He is taking up the
testimony in the order of it's presen-
tation, and fitting together in a con-
nected manner the proofs of the gov
ernment's accusation. He is point
ing out where the oral and docu-
mentary proofs corroborate each
other. He is, in short, separating
the wheat from the chaf, and he has,
apparently, brought to the task a
thorough knowledge of the case

The Two Records.

The Republican press of the State
are making great to do over the Gov
ernor and Auditors instruction to the
Assessors in regard to listing proper
ty for assessment. In 1866 the Re-
publican Legislature passed an act
exempting the Chesapeake & Ohio
r. R. from taxation until its net earn
ings should reach 10 per cent. Since
which this vast corporation has been
exempt from taxation until the recent
decision of the Supreme Court settled
the question in favor Of taxing this
company's property, and all other
railroad property, the same as other
property, declaring the exemption
unconstitutional and invalid. In
reaching this conclusion the court
also decided that all exemptions not
enumerated in the Constitution, are
void. Consequently farm products,
stock under one year old, &c, as well
as the property of corporations, all
come in for their share Of the burthen
Of taxation for State county and
municipal purposes. 1t will not hurt
the farmers if the valuation is uniform
and all classes of property be treated
alike. And if the Republicans find
any comfort in comparing party rec
ords on this question, they are vel
come TO it. Under a Democratic adj
ministration and through Democra-
tic Supreme Court, the property of
corporations has been placed on the
same footing with other property, and
the 1866 discrimination in favor of
c. & 0. Railroad nullified.-Keyscr

Precious Hope--Peruna.

One morning while he( her hus-
band was holding her up in order
that she could breathe more easily,
after having Struggled with bad
spell of coughing, he made the remark
that he did not believe she would
ever get well, when she, in her weak
ness, said:~'sYes, l will, If you will
bring DR.. Hartman" The doctor
was brought. He prescribed a tea
spoonful of Peruna every hour. She
began to improve from the first dose
she took. She told me to-day she
has never felt better in her life than
she does now, and that she cannot say
to much for Peruna. A. j. MILLER.

The Indian troubles in the West
so far appear to hare been very much
exaggerated. The report of the sur.
rounding Of an Arizona town by
bloodthirsty Apaches a couple Of
days ago turns out to be wholly false.
The joint arrangement with the Mex
lean Government by which the thiev-
ing redskins will be allowed the
choice Of the frying pan or the fire
if they fail to behave themselves
will be likely to cause the whole of
the threatened trouble to end in
smoke. Chief Moses and his tribe
in Washington Territory are threat
ening to make trouble, because of the
order of the President reducing the
limits of their reservation. General
Sherman has ordered Moses to be
seized and sent to Vancouver as a
prisoner unless he becomes peacea-
BILE In view Of the promptness with
which the War Department is acting
it is hardly likely the Indians will
be able to make any formidable out
break.

Has Fulfilled its Mission and
Must now Depart.

The chief trouble with the Repub-
lican party is that it will not rccog-
nize that its mission has ended and
that it needs burial An occasion cal
led it Into being 1t existed for
special purpose. 1t was at the best
a great evil corrective of an evil. 1t
must be satisfied with the reflection
that its career was glorious by rea-
son of its power and the splendid de-
votion of its great leaders, going
per .fas aut aefas toward their ends
and accomplishing many truly great
results. Deriving its right TO be
from a great evil demanding correc-
ton, it was necessarily temporary,
and destined to end with it's mission.
The product of slavery and war, it
has nursed many tendencies which
now demand correction. 1t has fos-
tered Capitalization ideas, concentra-
ton of power and wealth and of bus
mess of various kinds into few hands,
under protective laws of all kinds.
exaggerated bounties, internal reven-
he taxation, policies favoring the
gowth-with too much power-of
ship building monopolies, of great
railway corporations, of associated
Industries of all kinds.
1t is not necessary to assume that
no incidental benefit has accrued to
American industry from this tenden-
cy, or that American progress has not
been in some way advanced thereby.
1t may be that we could not have had
the progress without the attendant
evils. The fundal system, with all
the evils and expressions incident to
its concentrations Of power in baroni-
al hands was blessing to the world.
1t had to be broken in pieces, but in
its fragments was left the best build
ing material the world had ever seen.
So Of the tendencies fostered by the
republican party. They have, with
all the injustice, with all the denial of
of equal opportunities, with all their
favoring the few at the expense of the
many, and concentration of industri-
al, business, and social power into
few hands, been steps in progress and
peculiar phase of advancement
which will be seen to have been in
some ways beneficial, provided the
people now loosen the grasp Of this
party, put present stop to these ten
denotes, and place in power the par
ty which proposes equal privileges
and equal opportunities to all men.
Democracy was for fifty years the
party of equal rights and its one fault
was in excepting the slave. The re-
publican party gave freedom to the
slave, and in doing so put chains up
on the great masses when it become
the party of monopoly and of associa-
tions of capital and concentrations OF
business into few hands. That this
temporary interruption Of the true
tendencies of this democratic country
may have been of some such advan.
tage as was conferred on the world
by the baronial system may be true
What is now needed is to correct this
tendency, and to give to every Ameri
can citizen an equal opportunity in
life, to remove all restrictions, and
then let every man stand or fall &C

trict in speech at Lewisburg last
Monday, said he was free to admit
that the Republicans had committed
blunders and mistakes while they
were in power. This was very can

from the source it did, and the people
have resolved that the Republicans in

portGnity to commit blunders and
mistakes in office. That matter is

a large variety of tastes. BY way of
history and adventure there are three
illustrated papers: "The Aborigines
and the Colonists," by Edward Egg

who brings to light many curious and
interesting facts; the first of two
papers by H. H., on the Spanish Mis-
sions Southern California, entitled
Father Janipero and his Work.
in which thorough study is made
of the romantic settlement of Cali
fornia from Mexico; and thirdly, a
paper of great readableness and eth
biological value, by Frank Fl. Cush-

1t is given out by inscriptions
persons that the late enforcement of
the constitution by Governor Jack
son, in reference to taxation, is a
thrust at farmers and laboringmen.
The reverse of this statement is the
truth. While the farmers may pay
a few more cents on their stock, nu-
merous rich and powerful monopolis,
that have been heretofore exempt
by the act of republican legislature
will be made to pay their just
share of taxes, thus eventually reduc-
ing the amount paid by farmers.
That is the kind of thrust made at
the farmer. What farmer will not

The republican papers Of the State
are trying to make political capital
of the fact that Governor jackson
will force all the monopolics within
the State to bear their share Of tax
alton. These papers are working it
with the energy born of despair to
pervert the facts and give unfair and
untrnthful statements of it. Their
doemas are "too thin" The people
know them too well. They have
been tried and found wanting. They
will not be trusted again. The cor
porations and monopolies referred to
were exempted by the republicans
in violation of the constitution and
have remained SO, until Governor
jackson has shown his intention of
maintaining the constitution.
