these bonds are taxed as other personal property is taxed. And as these shares are taxed at their real value this $1,000,0000,000 in bonds pays as much as $2,000,000 of other property pays at the nominal assessments made through the country. For it is well known that the property is generally assessed at less than onehalf its real value for local taxation. So that the bonds of the country today pay more taxes, than anv other species of property. zette.

Remembering gratefully the historical fact of warm sympathy expressed by an Irish Parliament for our fathers when struggling for the independence which they won for us, regarding hopefully every well-directed and patriotic endeavor throughout the world for nationality, and rejoicing that many loyal Irishmen have enrolled themselves in the army of the Union, to save their adopted Republic from destruction, I send you, in response to your request, the enclosed twenty dollars, which wo?.U1 be larger but for many o^. demands on me.

'That was my plank in the Platform.

An intelligent correspondent of the Springfield (O.)

The idea that General Grant would not prove a popular candidate is exploded. He is stronger than his party' and this was the secret of his nomination. The Radicals adopted him from necessity. IJI accepting him, they surrendered from necessity to the Republican Conservatives. No dispassionate thinking man entertains any fears as to the consequences of Grant's election. On the contrary the conviction is general that lie is perfectly safe and that his administration against Northern and Southern fanatics will give us peace and herein, after all, lies his greatest strength among the people.
