The Gooding - Wilson Discussion in Brookville.

Judge Goo-ling, the Democrat ic candidate, is only know n here as a Republican stumper four years ago, and more ter, in which he niiuitested considerable , , i ability an J surpassing uisplay ot physical j j power, after having literally stripped hiui- j i self fur the race.

Democratic Taxation. We made an exhibit yesterday of the comparative average taxation for county and township purposes of Democratic and Republican counties in this State, the data of which were furnished from official sources, by which it appears that the former tax their property SI 29 on the $100, while the latter tax 94 cents on the 9100. The difference in favor of the economy, honesty and intelligence of Republican local administration is 35 cents on the S100. That is, upon its face, a blasting fact to Democratic pretensions to the possession of power, and combined with the record of

their 7,350,000 fosse by theft, forgery and r J increase of the public debt in the State administration, makes such au argument of incompetency and dishonesty as no other rartv could summon imnudenoeto face for i j i a moment. Rut the argument is seen to be of double force when closely examined. One dollar and twenty. nine cents tax on the hundred dollars of assessed value of property for purely local purposes for 1 f y u the State taxes are not included is by ! far the most onerous burden the people hive j to bear. Mark :bis; for it is the secret of ! oppressive taxation, aud the utter refutation of all Democratic clamor against high i taxes. The jvcr.age of Democratic county ! and township taxes is SI 29 on the $100. i j The State taxes are: State 15 cents, schools 10 cents, sinking fund 10 cents, or 41 cents altogether on each S100. Democratic local tax itim, therefore, it more than three times at large as the tchite of the State taxU 30t xhU an "S'J faJt 10 be faced a party that has no war cry, no appeal but '. and the 'burtbens of the M thi 8bi,me13 hP0CrIte9' wlro themselves, where they have the power, the people three times as much as the Siate governuieut does! The heaviest taxes paid in Indiana to-day, are paid upon the exactions of Democratic local administrations. They clamor at the Republican assessment for State purpose of 41 cents on the Sl00,manJ yet think nothing of taxing 1 50 to ?2 00 for county purposes. These local taxes are the burdens that press the farmer heaviest. lie pays the general government little or nothing. lie pas the State but $1 10 on the 1,000. Uut he pays Dauioeratio county plunderers and thieves from 10 to 20 on each 1,000. Here is where the load hurts. Every spring, when pay day comes round, he must make up three doilars for Demo cratij county uiisunnagameut, to where he mikes up one dollar to pay for the Republican management of State business. 11 the taxes wers!wy kant clerriy sen - inrated, thb State fro n th coun-y, the taxPa"cr W0U,J 8003 ,earn distinguish to wult:!l Party 1e WJ iudebted for threefourths of all he had to raise; but he pays in a lump, aad only knoi that the taxes are "enormous." luJjel they are, and nowhere nearly so hjavy as in Democratic co unties.

Journal. i 9 . The New Rulers of France. As the dispatches auuouoce, the Palikso administration has been ousted, and a republic declared, with General Troehu as President of the Provisional Government. The following sketch of the new chief magistrat3, from the pen of an admiring coutryman, will be read with interest: Louis Jules Trochu was born in 1315,and he is now in the full vigor of his faculties. He entered the millitary school of St Cyr in 1835, and like most ofthe youn French officers at that time, he engaged in the war for the conquest of Algeri,, aud had attained the rank of Captaiu iu 1S43, when he tojk part in the battle of iMdi Yuef, in which he h:.d his uuifottn pierced in four places by rifle fla balls. lie distiu - tii:guished himself at tho battle of lly by the bravery he displayed, and was on that occasioti selected by the successful and able commander, Marshal uugeau i, as his aid-de-camp. lie became Colonel in 1853, was placed on the staff of Marshal St. Arnaud, and served during the Crimean war, llis brilliant conduct at the assault on Sebastopol secured him a decoration. Kinglake represents him as the master miud of the French armv during the Crimean war, and calls attention to the fact that in all the conferences with Lord Raglan, Trorhu, rather than St. A maud or Caurobert, was the spokesman. In 1S5D he was made genera! of division, and served with distinction in the Italian war. and in lSGl, after the success of Frussia at Sadowa, ha was charged with the preparation of a plan for the teorg .nizitiou of the; French army, aud in 1807 he produced an essay upon organization entitled L'Ar mee Francaise,'' which ranthrough ten editions. ile was one of the iiist to foresee tho inevitable cantest between France and Prussia, and in a recent raaiphlet he give the result of an in tense study of the Rhenish frontier as a ! fighting field. Uy many of the French military men Oeneral Irochu is esteemed to Pe the most liiuliint strategist in their army, and it has been claimed that he is the equal, if not tho superior, of the Prussian veteran Von Moltke. In personal appearance he is described as being of middle size, elegant in figure, but strong and sinewy. Ile has a pleasing countenance, full ol intelligence and his address is quick almost warm. He has a broad, thoughtful forehead, slightly bald; small eyes, but so brilliant and sparkling that they constitute a remarkable feature. His hand is nervous though small, and while his whole aspect is that of a soldier, there is such erai. ins army predilections have not hardened his heart, though they may have iven him stronger views ofhis duty, llis brother having died and left nine children unprovided tor, Trochu took chaige ot them all, and lor their sake he has remained a single man. Ile is njt a man of extended popularity, hut his merits arc known to the judicious tew, aud by them set at au exceedingly high value. Gen. Trochu associates are J ules Simon, Leon Gambetta, Fugenc Pelletan, Jules Favre, Jules Ferry, Arago Ivu inue! Crem -ieux, Louis Joseph Ernest Picard, Garnier Pages, M.

It is a fact worth rcmeunberinn- ihat the average rate of taxation for County purposes in Democratic Counties is about f" cents on the 100. while the average rate in Republican Counties will not ex. ccc d,A;r ' ,8.

Do these things just happen so, or is there a reason for them? Greenfield Commercial. The debate between Judges Wilson and Gooding at Drookville, was much alter the style ia other parts of the District. Judge Wilson presents the principles of his party, in a clear, cool and unanswerable tuauner. Then comes Gooding with

oJhis blusler, brag, noise and confusion. I arly Wilson's cutting logic, and uadeaiabU

talks use a political oummer, ana never

fails to disgust a fair thinking, or lair dealing man. We hope the people of this county will turtr out largely on the 17th inat. and witness the striking difference between these two men, and the more Iban striking difference in their speeches, and the principles they represent. Connerstille Times. Railroad Letter from Stephen Johnson. Stephen Johnson, Es-q , President ofthe Piqua Hydraulic Company, on the 23d of Aug. wrote a letter to Mr. Foos, in which he gives encouragement that the stock to the northeast of us will be made up promptly, lie aajs; 'Piqua is taking active measures to secure to the 11. K. 1,000, which it is be. lieved will be in such shape as will bo acceptable to the Company for thai amount. Our situation was aud is peculiar, requiring management to get into position, and shall not refer in detail to the facts. We are compelled to make a turn which I have no doubt will be available. It is by getting the ciiy to purchase the Hydraulic (Water Works) and to issue certifiputpa of i mlphtiil nts4 tn lh nrpspnl ! sloekllo!ders for the amount as stock paid. ihcse stockholders agreeing to assign and deliver to the R.
