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. Ten mills make a cent, but Wendell Phillips predicts that all the Fall River mills together won’t make a cent this win ter- for their owners. — Nashville American 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.
