New Harmony, Saturday, Oct. 1st, l p. m GOV. CONRAD BAKER Will address his fellow-citizens at the following times and places: Lamasco. Ttmrsdiv. Sent. 29th. 7V P. M Hazelton, Gibson. County, Friday, Sept. J-.a, l v. at. Death of an Old Pioneer. Rev Tm. Webb died at Lynnville, War rick .County, on tbo 20th inst., on his retura from Conference. Mr. Webb was born in North Carolina, on the 9.h day of August, 17C2, and was, at the time of his death, in the 7Sth year of his age. lie emigrated to this State in tbo year lSli, and was anong the first Bottlers of Warrick County. He was fifty years a minister of the Gospel, of the 'Methodist Church, and during revival seasons, was particularly laborious. Impudence Unparalleled. As we stated yesterday, under the pretense of taking tho census of tho city, tho Democratio canvassers are hard at work in behalf of their party. One of tho questions asked is, "what is the politics of tho men about the house?" Such. impudence deserves rebuke. We adviso Republicans to instruct their wives to show these gentlemen the door, whenever such impudent questions are askod. .The whole thing is another Vile swindle upon the tax-payer3, for the benefit of tho Democratio party, and as such should bo repudiated by every Republican family in the city. The City Counoil has no right or authority to instigate such a proceeding, and the scoaer the people make that body understand this fact the bettor will it be for all concerned. Philip Decltcr, The Republican candidate for County Auditor, ranks among the oldest and most esteemed citizens of our city. By patient attention to business, persevering industry, faithful discharge of all duties, privato and publio, ho has established a reputation for integrity that is moro valuable than silver or gold. No one ever accuses him of resorting to low tricks to get tho advantage of his neighbors, in his dealings with them, and in the discharge of his duties as Commissioner the same candid, straightforward policy characterizes all his operations. The rigid scrutiny to which his official acts have been subjected, ouly exhibits in brilliant colors, his honesty and sound judgment. lie has met every allegation of his opponents with a candor and truthfulness that cannot fail to gain for him in yet greater degree tho confidence of tho people. ' Mr. Decker, from his long residence in the county and his thorough identifioationwith all of its improvements, is peculiarly well fitted for the position of County Auditor. This offiocr, by virtue of his position, must necessarily have much to do in determining the financial policy of tho county, as well as the pystom of improvements to be adopted and carried out. Practically, he i3 a member of the Board of Commissioners. He is expected to furnish all tho data which must guide tho Board in its deliberations and determinations, and hid experience in county affairs will prove most valuable when Mr. Decker assumes tho duties of Auditor. A young and inexperienced Auditor, like Mr. Joseph Reitz, and an inoompctcat and inefficient Board of Couimi&ioners, Buch as havo been put in nomination by the Democracy, would soon involve tho affairs of tho count? in a moro hopeless tangle than that which is proving so disastrous to the best interests of our city, through tho blundering of an inefficient Council. Tho experience of tho past . six months, in tho mismanagement of city affairs, ought, it strikes us, to convince any tax payer cf the absolute folly of placing their largo county interests in hands equally incapable, if not far moro so. There is hardly a business man in Evansville that would trust the management of his own funds in any amount to the business sagaoity of tho men who have been selected by the Democratio party to collect and disburse sums of money amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This fact may be unpalatabie, but it had better bo declared now than cxpe riencod in all its bitterness after a whilo.when it will be too late to rcc tify the blunder committed. v With such a man as Philip Docker for Auditor, and J ames Erskine, J. D. Fair, and Samuel Barker for Com missioners, the people may reasona bly expect a prudent and economical administration of county affairs, and that their money will not be squandered on improvements possessing no real value. The Democrat refers to us "In con f .l! A n tl i I. 1 1, Tn juuuliuu nuu uitter uiOKes. .

tho article to which wo refer. Ttrre

Haute Express. As suggested by tho Express, tho article was bo disgraceful in its char acter that we wero in hopes it would escape notice from our cotemporaries. For this reason we avoided noticing it ourselves, trusting that it3 circulation might be confined to tho very limited number of its subscribers who have become somewhat accustomed to such garbage. It wa3 a disgrace to our city, and tho blush of shame mantled the face of every respectablo man who happened to see it. COUNTY TAXATION. Six Years of Democratic and Republican Taxation Compiled. IET T3E OFFICII! FIGURES SETTLE THE QUESTION. Tho Courier ha3 not even attempted a reply to our exposition of Demo cratio Taxation, as illustrated by the assessments of tho present City Coun cil. The official figures taken from the Assessor's books too overwhelm ingly demonstrate it3 unfairness and oppressive character apon those least able to bear tho burdens of taxation. But in order to create a diversion, it seeks to turn attention to county affairs. It publishes a statement of the, total amount of taxes a3 6hown upon tho County Duplicate for five years of Democratic county manage ment from 1856 to 1SG0, and contrasts it with a similar statement of county administration while Victor Bisch was Auditor and chief financial mana ger, from 1S5S to 1869, inclusive. Such a comparison is manifestly unfair, for two reasons, among others. First, it does not allow for tho large increase in population and the ncces sary increase in county expenses. It is aa unjust as the attempt to prove the extravagance of Grant's Admin istrationby showing that the expenses of the" General Government in 18C9 are very much greater than the cx penses of the Government in 1859, under Buchanan. Sesond, tho total amount of the county tax duplicato is no index of the county expenses proper. The total cf tho county duplicate in cludes the following items of taxes State, common school, sinking fund, road, township, special school, dog. railroad, and some other item3, and tho county tax proper. Tho levying of all of theso, except the county tax, is provided in some way by statute law and tho County Auditor and Commis sioncrs havo little or no discretion in regard to them. Tho county officials are rcauy not cnargcaDie witb any part of tho total amount of the du plioate except the county tax, which represents tno county expenses proper. The just and proper way, then, to arrive at tho comparative county cx penscs for different years, is to con trast the hvics for county purposes. Victor Bisoh, whom the Courier flat teringly compliments ai " the leader of tho Republican party, and possessing nearly all ' tho brains of that organization," went into tho office of Auditor in March, 1SC2. Under his supervision tho connto tavAd a XT f V, no n 1 OT7 1 rwl from thnt timo to t hn Ttrcsent- I Previous to that timo, for many years, tho Democracy had filled the Audi tor's office. Let us, as suggested by tho Courier, cxamino the comparative county levies for tho last six years of Democratio . .nagement, from 1S56 to 1S61 inclusive, and tho first six years or iiepuDiican management. from 1SG2 tolSC7 inclusive: DEMOCRATIC TAXATION. The official records show the tax evies for County purposes, (tho legiti mate County expenses,) wero as folows: 1856 County tax le y. -F3 cents. 75 cents. .-.93 cents. -35 cents. ,...55 cents. ,...63 cents. 1S57 County tax lrvy... 1K;8 county tax !ey,., 1SU County tax levy... i.Nu county tax levy.., 1761 County tax levy.., Making an averago of CIS cents per year under Democratio administra tion. REPUBLICAN TAXATION. The county tax levies for tho six following years, were as follow?, as appears from the official rooord: 1SG2 County Tax Levy '(5 cents. l.HSS County Tax Levy ...80 cents. 1864 Oounty Tax Levy .....30 cents. 1S65 County Tax Levy .........49 cents. 1866 County Tax Levy ......,85 cents. 1867 County Tax Levy 40 cents.

Co. taxation, 38 cents. If we take another view of the tax levies for county purposes, we will have an exhibit equally favorable to Republican . management in contrast with Democratio taxation in Vander burgh County. Let U3 take, for ex ample, the years 1857, (Democratio rule) and, ten years later, 1857, (Republican rule.) and see the rate of taxation per voter, showing how heavily tho taxes rested upon the people, per man. We take the number of voters at the election preceding the levy in each year, and the amount raised for county expenses with tho levy, and wo find the following exhibit: Rate per Voters. Taxes. Voter. 1857. Dem. taxes. 2,814. H8.436. 815 27 1867. Rep. taxes. 5.K56. H9,40U. 8 70 Another comparison of the same character. The highest county tax levy made during tho last ten years of Democratio management was in 1S58, and the highest county tax levy made during tho past eight years of Republican management was in 1SGS Let us see how theso lovics affected tho peoplo, per capita: Voters Taxe, Rate per voter, 18"i8 Dem taxes 3,009 S61.03J fi 83 1868 Rep. taxes 6.5M 103,619 15 70 From tho abovo figures, every voter may determine for himself, whether or not the Republican administr :2on of county affairs has been more ex travagant or more burdensomo upon the peoplo than that of tho Democrat io party. Tho test is the official fig ures, and wc havo applied that test. It .is true, as the Courier charges

that more money has been raucd during tho past e:ght years of Rcpub-

has been ican administration than the last eight years preceding, of Democratic management, because the county has increased largely in wealth and popuation; thatt i Republican tax levies. and tho rate psr voter, has been very much lighter, and hence the people have not been so much oppressed. But there is another view of this tax question which places the Democratic management of county affairs in a much more unfavorable light. The Democratic rule was in a time of profound peace, with labor, services and all kinds of commodities at the lowest point. Gold was the- standard of exchange, and the tax levies were made upon that basis. The Republican administration was for more than three years in the time of eur great civil war. Labor, services, and com modities of every description were advanced to inflated prices. Our cur rency, in which all taxes were col lected, was greatly depreciated in value. Gold ranged at times as high as $ 2.S0, and at a fair average might be valued at $1.50. On this basis was the Republican levies made. Repeating the comparisons above made, allowing tho average price of gold from 1SC2 to 18C7, inclusive, at f 1 50, we have the following: 1S50 to 1S61. Dom. taxes, cur'cy basl3...92Vc lbti2 to 1667. ltep. taxes, cur'cy basis. ...3SiO Or, reversing the estimate: 1856 to 151. Dam. tax 58, gold basis 6o ls-i'2 to 1867. KeD. taxes, eoia oasis vjg Or, taking the years 1857 and 18C7, with the average price of gold in 18G7, at f 1 33, we find the total amount of taxes oollected for county purposes, as follows: 1S57, Democratic taxes In currency 18j7, Republican taxes In currency. Or taking the reverse : , 1837, Damocratlo taxes, In gold..-. 1667, Republican taxes, in gold..... JCG.811 . 4'J.4U9 1 18.4:56 . 3 i,8 j3 If we make the comparison on the rate per voter, we find tho following Bate per voter, 185T, Damocratlo taxes, In currency. 1667, Keppblicuu taxes, In currency. ..822 45 -8 77 Or the reverse : Rate per voier, 18"j7, Democratic taxes, In gold... 1817, lleputlican taxes, in gold... $16 . 0 31 Continuing tho comparison for the years 1858 and 1SG8, estimating the avcrago price of Gold, as stated in the Banker's Magazine, at 1.40 we have the following: Rate por voier.

We havo published several ar tides recently, extracting largely from the eity tax assessment, to show how the party now controlling tho city manages its affairs, a3 an illustration of what mav bo expected in county affairs, should its administra tinn ha transferred to that party. But the figures published above are a suf ficient warning against entrusting the management of Vanderburgh County to tho Democracy, after the facts which it has left on record of its tax levies for tho last six years ot its rule City Finances ! Notwithstanding its announced in tention not to devote any of its vala ablo timo and space to tho discussion of city matters, the Courier of Sunday attempted a feeblo reply to our arraignment of its jarty for gross in justice to tho poorer tax-payers of tho city, and its mismanagement and recfc less extravagance in disposing of tho publio funds. Wo aro disposed to treat that paper fairly in the discus sion, however it may impose upon its readers by misrepresenting the facts and refusing to let. them have an op portunity to read both sides by copying any of our statements. The readers of tho Journal can be safely treated with moro candor and fairness. As we stated bofore, tho Courier has at last manufactured what it seems to ooncoivo is a reply to tho numerous facta and figures which havo been laid beforo tho readers of the Journal for tho past week. We copy its language and figures just as wo find them in that paper: We givo below a table which will show that in every instance, where poor people, or people owning four nundrea or six nunurea aouar tots, the Democratio Council reduced tho assessments below the assessments made by the Republican Uouncil in 1SC9. We give the names and figures, and we might take the whole tax duplicate and the result would be the same. All the plain unvarnished lvinir and misrepresentations of the Journal aro refuted by the facts and figures on the books: o ; o aS" oS 3g Sa -iSSS Eg!

After a week's hard labor at tho Assessor's books, canvassing all tho enlargements, it has produced the abovo as the result of its investigations. It ';ays the table shows " that in every instance where poor people, or people

owning lour hundred or six hun

dred dollar lots, the Democratic Council has reduced the assessment below tho assessment made by the Republican Council in 18G9." The table don't show any such thing. It shows that, in all the city of EvaEsville, the Courier has been able to find twelve cases in which the appraisement on small lots have been reduced. It shows more. It shows that, while on these twelve lots the appraisement was reduced $S30, on the single valuable lot of Messrs. Wahnseidler, Zamstein and Bennighoff, the appraisement was reduced $3,336. It also shows that, on the valuable property owned by Messrs. Keen, Preston, Ileilman and Carpen ter, the appraisement was largely reduced. In other words, if the Cour ier's contradictory figures prove any thing, they prove what we have been continually demonstrating that the present City Uouncil, in its appraise ment of real estate for the purposes of taxation, has made the most unjust discrimination i gainst the property of the poorer classes and in favor of the property of tiie wealthy. No fact not even the shining of the sun in the heavens on a clear Summer day can be plainer. It is for the laboring men and me chanics of tho city, who own small homesteads, to say whether they ap prove this policy of the Democratic party. If not, let them show their opposition to it by voting against the candidates of that party, both at the county and city elections. These mav have been some com plaint against the Democratio ticket in this county, but it comes cnieny from Radicals. No attention should be rtaid to reports of disaffection in our ranks. It i3 a devise of offioe grabbers. The ticket will receive the support of tho party. Boonville En quirer. Is Dr. McRevnolds a Radical? He is one of the worst complainants we know. What the Democrats Think. A correspondent of a La Porte paper, writing from Michigan City, says the political atmosphere in that vicinity " . , . -1 mi : id ramsr tranquil, xuero ueiug -uu great national issue upon which the parties can make a very hot fight. local issues and personal friendships will largely affect the vote. The Democrats aro not in the best o humor. Tho light between the factions is better.
