But low jieopld 1 kno-vy; , ,'why they v'haye 90 much to pay as taxes. 1 .At the pron? cnt timo there aro over .forty, thou sand civil comniieaioiJcd officers un der the Government of tho Uuiled Btixtes, "and most of these ; officer have little or uothiufc to do. . Why, ve aro tho vvoret pifioooMtlden and tax-rkldciK people in the world Imving loeomo no sinco tho Eadical jmrty cftm& into power, liciaro that party came iu they beggod tho pooplo to A'oto for thorn eo they could lcsKoii. . taxation, , AJmlnietcr tho .Government M'llh less office; reduce the Ralaries of officers, etc., i tc; bat instead of doing bo they Xave actud to tho contrary iu every .particular-r-itbt .fulfilled a "single promiBO.; They have, increased tho .taxei in every town, couuty and State in tho Union upon; real ostato, "personal property, and upon every tiling .wo cat mid wear and upon most of v, hut' wc drink, and creatod thoueands of new ofliccs and in croascd the salaries of many of the old officers.. Under tho rule of tho Democracy ft person might pass away half . his life jn business niid travel hundreds' of . miles without seeing a single United States officer, except A postmaster ; hut now they are found in every community and in everybody's way everything in tho course of trade, of travol, and of incomo is made tho subject ot their supervision. Xanv of these new officers not only take illegal fees, but oponly steal. .Tho people toil and iwoat to earn money to paj- tho legal as well ns tho illegal fees fliidsteahnsis ol these onicuvla, when they could easily get rid of theso bad men by voting them out of power. How long can the people of this country live and bo oflice- riddon end lax-riddon in .this tcr riblo manner? 'I r . v In to-day's paper will be found the Amnesty Proclamation of the President, 'which was issued on Christmas, December 25, 1808, (not 1867, as wo orroncouslj' printed two weeks since.) The Radical papers have already set up their usual howl about this Proclamation. A largo portion of those papers is devoted to the abuse of President Johnson, whoso' election, in 18G4,'thcy so warmly advocated. Instead of car rying out ; thoir unconstitutional acts, ho has tried to oboy his oath and support the Constitution of the United Slates. . - "As the little Radical rag printed in Vinton count)' is terribly alarm ed about tho Amnesty Proclama tion, wo will try to quiet its nerves by quoting - tho following from the York Tribune of a late date: . ' We Bcldom of late find a decent excusefor praising Andrew Johnson; but wo thank him for putting an 'end, even thua dastardly, to the swindling legal farcc.'enactedevcry few mouths, under tho deceitful title oa 'Trial of Jeff. Davis. A swindle by which nobody is duped a farce at which nobody thinks of laughing must ha'o outlived its day. Now, 'there has been no intelligent person dicoivod for at least two years back, by tho pretense of keeping Davis in confinement or holding him to bail, as though it were intended that ho should bo put on trial for his life. For a time, thoro was 6ome such ex pectation; and tbo good nnturcd public thought it ratheranico thing to spend 1100,000 or bo per annum to keep him safe in Fortress Monroe till the day of trial should arrive Unt ho who docs not know that trials for treason must bo brought on while trorson is still rampant and perilou', or very soon after its col- Japse.eieo a conviction Is impossible cannot nave read many volumes of history. ' We douht that it ever was liossi bio to convict Davis of trofison la a civil court unless by excluding every active Democrat from the jury box. J udge Uuderwood, who would liavo rejoiced to try him with a tol crablo chance of success, testified bo fore a Committeo of Concross that no verdict could bo obtained against him In Virginia, unless tho jury wore packed for the purpose which is nndoobtodly true. And that trnt.li doubtless affords one of tho reasons for not trying him. .. ,. If any ono is son-y that wo arc not lo iiave -another procession of mwyors to lucumonU another tab leau in court and another an nouncement by tolograph that, tho inai oi jenorson Uavis been post ponod 1 to the next term he will oouuueei maico it manliest."

Dur ing ' the month H of December the nice . little sum ot eight millions seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars, in United Btates bonds, was iusued to the Pacific Itailroad Com panies. Four million eight hundred and forty thouBund dollars of this amount went to thj Union and tl c baUnce 'lo tho Central Pacific This, when considered in connec tion with the fact that tho National Treasury has been depleted already Jo the verge of bankruptcy, and with that other fact, namely, that this issue of bonds is but a drop in tho bucket 'compared with other outlandish expenditures of our most improvident and reckless govern ment, will possibly arouse the tax paying portion of the people to a sense of the monstrous evils brought upon the country by Radical legis lation. The logical ecquenc.6 from historical and existing fucte is, that' the next thing will be the old etory of "vested rights," and any amount of argumentation lo shew that the nleiiL'e of the irovernment to grant ejcfmutiverk(fUbsTdi(r.r'to gangs tjf railroad speculators must -bo re deemed at all haiards. When will the toilers in the industrial hive learn wisdom from the losnons of a sad and ruinous experience? The President's Proclamation OF UNIVERSAL AMNESTY.

' - " .'.: A railroad contractor agreed with tho company to coustructand equip its ,entiro road lor t-$l,C0d,Q00,.of which '?2o0,vu0 was to bo paid in cash and cash a3Sots, aud tho bnl ance in tho bonds and slock of the company, .the price named being ihofe than twice the eush value of tho work. The' compact' provided that payments should bo made on monthly estimates, and in such of tho said descriptions of payment hS tho contractor deemed would bost subservo his" purpose In doing the work, but the contract fixed no timo for the completion of the work. It also provided thatthepartiesHhould aid in converting said nfesots, bonds, and stock , into, moaus for carrying on the work, and that tho con tractor need not carry It on taster thin such means would servo. " The contractor did work under tho con' tract to tho nominal amount of 5117,000, which, at his request, was mostly paid him in the cash assets, and then, the charter of the. com pany having expired by its own limitation, tho work was suspended by mntuul consent, and the road abandoned, its bonds and stock thus becoming worthless. JIM: That the contractor is bound to account to the company for all actual profits realied from the work. 2. Whcro subscribers to tho stock of a railroad company had given their notes for tho amounts of sub scriptions, puyablo when the road should be completed, but were sub sequently induced to take up these notes, and to givo new ones, paya ble in four years, in order to enable the company to carry out a contract for the completion of the road, and upon the confident but honest ex pression of opinion by its officers, that if they would do so, the road wimld he coni plcted under juqh.iQn -. tractlii less than four years." Held: That. nlthouKb the said contract for inat, niiuouKn tue saia contract 101 building the road was afterwards, und before anything had been done under it, abandoned by the contract or, ana tno roxa nas never been completed, yet the subscribers are table upon their said new notes.

There aro three ways about it: ex pansion, contraction, and Ihe let-alone policy. Perhaps the last is the best. .Contraction, however, seems to be the fa- vonto idea of the Republican leaders.- ; Soma exceptions there are, and one of these is Senator Morton of Indiana. Ben. Butler, in tho House, is also opposed to the resump tion of specie payments. Ono thing is certain: Unless the Radicals systematically prac lice uio severest economy, unless, indeed, they- are as penurious, even, as Frederick the Urcat or Frederick Wil liam, his father, tho country goes to tho wall, financially.
