ATJGTJSTA., GKA..:
Wednesday Morning, October 20,1875.
The Recall.
Come back to us, Bayard! Bayard!
From the golden shrine of the years;
Thou knight so pure and noble,
Unstained by coward fears.
Come! for the world is weary
Of shame, and sorrow, ana crime;
Weary of waiting for heroes,
T hat gladdened the old time.
Cos ne! for the hearts of the nations,
Aloft through the quivering air,
Are sending up to the Father
A ceaseless, sorrowful prayer.
Come! Tor the wails of the stricken
Break heavily on our ears;
And the Beautiful Hills of Glory
Rise dim through a mist of tears.
Are friendship and honor pei ished ?
Is truth but a meaningless name ?
Are the grand old glories faded
That filled the earth with dame ?
Where, oh where are the heroes
That thrill our souls to-day,
Like those whose voices whis'per
From history’s annals gray ?
Then come to us, Bayard! Bayard!
For the world is growing old;
And the pulse of life’s spring-time throbs
not
Throughout its veins so cold;
And deathless faith and devotion
Are dreams of the days gone by,
When men lived nearer to heaven,
And angels spoke from on high.
CURRENT TOPICS.
We Pay $760,000,000 Annually for
Taxes.
Debts, debts, debts! Taxes, taxes, taxes 1
The amount of taxes now ground from the
American people is appalling. The Fede
ral, the State and the municipal goveru
ernments of the United States are over
whelmed with mountain loads of debts.
Our railways and incorporated institutions
of every kind are down with the same com
plaint. Commenting upon this, the Macon
Telegraph says:
“In a short article on taxation in Amer
ica. which we copy to-day from the World,
that paper shows that the people of the
United States pay annu illy, in the way of
taxes, the sum of seven hundred and sixty
millions of dollars—being an amount vast
ly in excess of the value of all their ex
portable crops, and amounting to over five
andc ne-half per cent, on the assessed val
uation of all the taxable property of the
country.
Now, as that per centum of clear Income
from property is really a large one—pro
bably above the rate in any country in the
world except the United States—the pro
perty itself is virtually struck out of exis
tence as assets by this showing, and the
country as a unit might well be declared in
a condition of bankruptcy. If we are worth
anything at all, it lies only in the degree of
undervaluation of this property for taxes,
and in the unreturned property.
It is a desperate showing demanding a
universal uprising of the people for re
trenchment in government and reduction
of taxes. An I besides all that, it confounds
us to conjecture how these furious con
traetionists propose to meet this enormous
outlay for yearly taxes with a currency
which must be substantially limited to the
amount of specie which can be found or re
tained in the country—if it is to consist of
redeemable paper. It is -an alarming
scheme and will virtually double the tax
on the people by taking away half the
funds to pay it.
How Hayes Was Elected.
Perhaps it is m t generally known that in
a majority of the counties in Ohio, the
Democrats made gains in the recent elec
tion. How then, it may be asked, did
Hayes get his four or five thousand ma
jority ? The Cydcinn atti Enquirer, of Sat
urday, throws some light on the subject,
and its assertions are certainly very plausi
ble, to say the least. It says:
The majority for Hayes, and against
Allen, will bo less than five thousand
He obtained six thousand in the county of
Cuayahoga. This is all a fraud and a cheat.
Two years ago the majority for Governor
Noyes was 2,601. There have been four
elections since. The Democrats carried
them all by majorities ranging from eight
hundred to 1,200. That there should be a
sudden change from eight hundred one
way to over six thousand another is quite
especially when dearly all the
other counties in Ohio show gains
the other way. How it was done
wa3 shown by the dispatch in the Enquirer t
of Sathrday, where the judges _of election
in one war l adjourned their session to a li
quor saloon, refused to count the votes in
the presence of other parties, and declared
a majority of 1,200, a gain of 800 over the
last election, when but 1,355 votes were
gived. Of course this return cannot, under
any eircumstancs be received. It is a
swindle on its face. It is contrary to law,
and should be, and will be, with all other
such returns, immediately rejected.
Cleveland is situated in Cuyahoga coun
ty, and it was there, principally, the money
of the bullionists was brought to
as the Eequirer says, such retorns will not
be received, it may change the result after
all, and leave Hayes out in the cold.
The Barrings are avenged fearfully,
says the New York World. They made no
moan when dismissed for Crews and Ha
bicht, but the post of confidence rather
than profit which they held with honor for
so many years their successors could not
retain bare three years before the firm poi
soned the air with its rottenness. It was
so corrupt that it could not be held to
gether, even bythe cohesive force of public
plunder. And another brother-in-law in it,
too! One in every stall in the Augean sta
ble. You cannot swab out a jakes in all
this land of jobbery but you find a Presi
dent’s brother-in-law rolling there and fat
tening, like a grub-worm in a dung-heap.
They must be a lean lot, this tribe of bro
thers-in-law, or by this time they would be
sufferers from fatty degeneration. When
their accounts are rendered up lard ought
to be cheaper,
Thebe’s too much currenc y in the coun
try, of course, and too little land! Conse
quently our currency is too cheap and our
land is too high. And then we need an
other hundred millions of bonds to equal
ize taxation. When we are paying $40,000,-
000 gold interest to Europe instead of $20,-
000,000, we shall feel easier, and then con
fidence will be restored—in Europe \—Nash
ville American.

Phillips predicts that all the Fall River

The Democracy of lowa did not increase
its vote by adopting a hard-money plat
form, and having the New York World in
its favor.
A New Hobby.—To the Editor of the
New York Tribune: Sir—ltshouldnot
surprise you, as it appears to do, that
General Grant has mounted the hobby
of sectarian schools. Having suc
ceeded in selling his faitful old war
horse “Vicksburg” for fifty-six dollars,
and being a horseman, he should have
something new to ride.
New York, October 2.1875.
[The subject is not a “hobby”—it is
only not a question. Whenever It be
comes one, even in as remote a degree
here as it has in some western States,
four-fifths of all our people will fight
any diversion of the common school
fund to sectarian purposes to the bitter
end. Till then they will have only con
tempt for demagogues who try to use
the sensitiveness of the people on this
matter as a means of riding into
power.—Editor Tribune.

any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker witnout
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One oi the greatest con
