"Ohio States man. THE FIRST BOOK —OF THE— CHRONICLES —OF— ZALESKI. WRITTEN BY SOME OF 'EM. CHAPTER X. 1 And it oaiuo to pass, in the history of the city, as it was written, that inas much as the Historian was "abusing" the "Lord," that some of his friends sondeth unto the "Lord" one of the newspapers containing some of the His tory, as written about turn. 2 And when it had arrived at the city, and at the office of bira whose busi- noes it is to take onarge ot tne same, u seemed a matter of duty to send the paper along with the other portion, of the "Lord's" mail matter. , 3 And the officer, whose surname is Will, being an old man. and having from his earliest day, learuod to oonfer a favor when in bis power so to do. tnougnt it no harm to thus send unto the ''Lord" all of his mail matter. 4 And it never entered into his mind to think that the same would offend the Lord." 5 And the "Lord," when he reoeiv eth the paper wbioh a kind friend send eth unto Him, and it being the same that contained the "Ohronioles," he taketh the same and eeatoth himself in the great armihajr, and began reading the History as written. 6 And it soon ecemeth unto the "Lord" that tbe Historian still continues to tell the truth in all that be says con cerning the city, the "Chief Pig Driver," "Peter Plumfull," and the "Lord." 7 And it now began to be very plain unto those standing near by, that the "Lord" was becoming sore . vexed, and was full of wroth, . 8 And the "Lord" sccmeth spell bound, and oould not so much as take bis eyes from the same, but continuoth reading. 9 And tbe more lie read ot tbe same, the more He became convinced of tbe truthfulness of the History.and still His mind becometh more and more attraotod thereby, 10 And He still growing more wroth and wondering who it is, that hath gained suoh perfect knowledge of the doing of the mighty oily, and then dare to stand up in the light of this intelligent age, and write the same in the plain, simple, and soripture-trutb-liko manner, the thought booamo too great for bis capao ity. . .. 11 And the "Lord" before He had ended reading the same beoorceth full of wroth, and he eonoewiog that he was so thoroughly oaptured thereby, and Drougni in subieotioa thereto. He resolves to make one desperate effort to relieve him self from the Iron grasp of the History. 12 So when he bad tally pursuaded himself bow he oould best relieve himself from this sudden delusion, he raiseth up straight on bis feet, and with all the power and dignity at bis, command, ne threw the History from himself against the wall, with suoh foroe in his anger, that the truthfulness of tbe History causeth it to rebound back unto the "Lord's" feet, where it ley crouched at tbe feet of sovereign power. 13 And in tbe meantime a still small voice came up from tbe same, saying: "Truth is mighty and wiif'1 prevail. Though truth be trodden down as I now am yet shall it rise again." 14 And when the "Lord"- beareth this, He oommandolh one of His' young lads, even bis mail lad, to take the same back unto tbe man of kindness, ,in tne mail department, and inform him that he did not wish to bo so insulted by having the "Uhronioles" sent unto him, nor to have his peaceful and quiet repose desi turbed by reading the same. -15 For it doth seem utto me the "Lord," that when my eyes have oaught tight of the History that I am not eon- tent until 1 read the same. 16 And further, my young lad, I command; you to inform him,' whose surname is .Will, and who hath charge of the "Post Offioe," that for so doing I shall report him to the department at the oity of Washington, afar off, and will visit my wratb upon mm and bis cmw dren, and upon his children's ohildren, even unto the third and fourth genera tion. - ; ' ' to be continued, Military Despotism ; Bill. The Washington correspondent ef the New York Express, in alluding to the. latest military despotism bill, says : "The President is bound band and foot. He can do nothing, and when the news of the passage or the proposed measure over the veto gets to Sheridan and Sickles, you may look out fojr im portant orders from those two Gears." Judieial effioers will be vacated by com mand, of Major-general Sheridan and Major-general Siokles, and-I would Bug gest to the negro lawyern around Boston that if they have any ambition to wear the ermine, they had better repair forth with either to District No. 2 or District No. 5.

Taxes and Mone interest The average rate of taxes in Ohio is two per cent, on the ssaessed valuo of property listed. The lawful interest of money being six per onnt; one third of tbe in oome is taxes. It is the same with rente. One-third of the rent is oonsumed in paying taxes. The people who wish to shirk the payment of taxes call in their debts and put their money in Govern meet bonds, and the taxes thev shirk are borne by other people. Mr. Sham Loyal has one hundred and fifty dollars in Gov ernment bonds, and saves three thousand dollars a year in taxes, whioh his neigh, bors have to pay for him. This is tbe case with our State and county taxes. But to enable the United States to let the bondholder go free oftax, the people have to bear a tax on everything they wear, every thing they drink, and every thing they eat, and every thing they do. They must pay twenty millions a year to tho Chase-bonds for the trouble of giv ing us three hundred millions of shinr plaster money. They must pay one hun dred and twenty millions a year to keep an army, black and white, at the South, to give the peoplo republican governi moor. The bonds must bo taxed must be taxed, and taxed, and taxed at the full rate of one third of tho interest, as the people of Ohio are taxed. And we must have a Legislature that will represent the people, and not aot as mere toadies to a whisky Congress. Urbana Union. Orrn Financial Future. The New York Times, in discussing our financial condition, has but one panacea for our troubles. That is the faithful and hon est collection of the tax on whisky This is a superficial view of the question, and does not at all go to the root of the matter. No doctoring will avail to re lieve the people as long as we are bun doncd with the national debt. We must pay off the debt at onoe, and stop all that vast interest which ronders oppressive taxation necessary. It can be paid im mediately, in tha legsl-tonder ourrency of the country, in which all other debts are paid. Tbis measure and this alone will give financial ease and repose to tha country. Tbe Times proposition merely looks to paying the interest on the bonds. Ours would pay the priooipal, and so get rid of any interest at all. Our plan is in the interest of the masses ; that of the Times in the interest of tbe bondholders. DIED, t. tt... inn. n h 1 Rfh nf .Tul v. 1 SOT. nf Consumn- tion.
