TlkTRSRAY, AUO. 27, lycs. A.Y A b O LIT 10 X L IE XA ILED. Mr. Jaapei Packard, republican camli--late tor congressman, has been speaking . . . in tho rural districts. He elaims to be a It ntan to represent the people in congress; , . i at is. that lie u a ytn'M man and atfosVsmat nan. o ieia in nis speecnes mu w , , . . . , , Xr no delegate presented himself at the New gvo York convention, and that C.

If Mr. Packard can not find argument enough without lying about his neighbor and acquaintances, he ' . ii it -T.L i..- i,.i t.v. had Detter Withdraw and let some one take , i , Ti- l l i his olaco wlio can. it he can hii such argument he had best use it, or ha will stand branded as an infamous, unscrupulows liar, coward and dirty political deina-g-gue. (en Kimball, radical candidate for treasurer of state, addressed a good-sized crowd, com posed about equally of radicals and democrats, in this place last Saturday evening. Democrats were invited to attend, an 1 they attended, and listened resrcetfully to what the general had to say. About three-fourths of his spee.-h wa devoted toJatwti which have long since been decided, and was about as entertaining as a last year's almanac. After dodging the live issues as long as his ingenuity would enable him to. he came to speak of the ! a public debt, taxation, etc. He made the statement, and repeated it, that poor men pay no government t;.x ; that the internal revenue is paid by business men, and men of wealth. In rancor! of this assertion! he stated that the manufacturer of railroad ' a a car?, for instance, was taxe 1 on Iiis iron, on his tools, aud on everything used in the manufacture of cars, was taxed on Iiis income besides ; yet the mechanics who dune hi work were jot taxed! Thai is a fair specimen of his whle argument on this question of taxation. We refer to it for the purpose of exposing its utter fallacy and falsity. The speaker knew Jhat the mechanics who do the car manufacturer's work pay a tariff duty on everything they buy to live upon, and that in proportion as tho manufacturer is taxed, are their wages reduced. When a mannfacturer is tarred, he inereasea he price of hia manufactures, and reduces the juice of labor, to such an extent, that his tax will ' coal him nothing at all. The manufactur- j er pays no f:x ; but the producer and consumer pa' it all. It is an insult to the laboring people to tell them they pay no tax. They pay a tax on every yard of calico or muslin ; on every pair of shoes, every pound of tea, coffee, sugar oi tobacco they buy ; and wheu radical speakers add ineult to injury by telling the laboring people that they pay no tax, they lie low down in their throats. Other matters connected with the ipeeeh of General Kimball are treated of in another column by Fairplay." EA TU EE LOW. In referring to the court-house fuud the Reii'Uiran, of last week, fays, "It may be secured, but we think it very doubtM ful, and if it is ever all recovered to the M county the people will in-Iced be fcrtunate." The above is about as contemptible and cowardly an insinuation as we havs met with fur sonie time. Unless the author is a knave he must be an idiot. If Jio knows anyfaiug about the matter he Lit'ncs the fund ia amply secured. If he koows nothing about it lie is a knave to say he thinks it very doubtful that the fuud is te cured. We do not refer to this matter for tha purpose of defending the course of the commissioners, for that is entirely unnecessary, as every honeat, sensible man approves their action relative to this fund ; and the radicals are merely attempting to create (alaa side-issues for the purpose of drawing off our fire from their rotten, sinking bip, and we arc not so silly ag to bite at so bare a hook; but wc simply quote the above as a model of niendacitv. and a

In another part of his article, be says: "Jiut the it at anient thero contained the statement quoted above and as I made it at ihe time mentioned, I pr- sume that neither he our ' reporter" nor you will attempt to deny."

From the manner in which he gives in hi property for taxatiou, we should think he COXGRESSIOXAL JOINT CANVASS.

The republicans at Argos, last Saturday, appeared to have on hand a better stock of impudence than of "stamps," from the fact that they asked several prominent democrats to help them pay for their band. A set of men with no more spirit than that arc not to be feared. They do not possess sufficient manliness to exert any influence. They probably made the application, bolicving that Mr. Tynsr's speech did tbc democracy more good than it believe i- the cwc.

engaged in organizing the Knights ot the crowd, a majority of whom were demoGolden Circle, There was ao doubt in crats. In speaking of taxes, he asked: his mind that presidents Harrison, Taylor i '; Have you ever thought how mash you

and Lincoln were all killed by the same party. Senator Doolittle had told in 1'lyniouth of the great pressure brought to beur on senators in the impeachment trial to convict the president, but he knew that pressure had been brought to bear on Butler, Stevcus and Wade to prevent onvietion. When Lincoln died reconstruction began, although It had begun a little before. The democrats and rebels wert 'opposed to reconstruction and the govern t too, and every man that opposed the government was wormy oi aeatn. lie thought the niggers ought to have equal rights with those they fought against anyhow. The democrats had no reason to complain of federal taxes, as the only collector ot those taxes iu Marshall county was a democrat, but when Grant and . .1 f 1 . I TT n If I 11 . 1 . i tjuuaa were eiecieu ne wouiu not ue tol erated in that officii. Democrats are in favor of taxing all the posr farmer has, horses, cows, hog, shesp, and even the cradle he rocks his baby in, but the radiparty will not dohis thing.

The republicans don't believe in taxing you on j l:,U!5e ,liy)' don t say in what kind of moni e lllc are ll e pain in, anu tne otnor bonds do. The democratic convention at Xew York was said to bo an angnat assembly; he did not know what made it an august body, unless it was August Belmont, the rich banker, who made tho Dominations. It was a rebel convention, for rebels were there sue'i as Wade Hampton, who cut the throats of Union soldiers in South Carolina in cold blood, and there was Vallandighsm, the traitor, and Forrest, tho negro -murderer of Tennessee. These were ho men who made the nominations For the democratic party; vote for them and you will have war; vote for Girant and Colfax and yuu will have peace; and he knew that nine tenths of the people would vote for them. After saying 11 Now, gentlemen," forty-eight times in a speech one hour long, he quietly sat down, amid the most profound silence. Mr. John Ii. We-tervelt arose, amid the tomb-like stillness of the meeting, and asked for order, as he had mado niuetspeeches in Marshall county, and had never been disturbed. He exhibited the Plymouth Weekly Democrat, and told who were the proprietors ofthat exeelleut democratic sheet, but did not shaw any matter for argument from tho paper. He labored hard to show thtl Marshall county paid more taxes than Laporte, St. Joseph, or Lake counties, but failed to show nny illegality in the difference of figures. He showed up the corruption and profligacy of the present county officials by a reference to the cmplo3ii:ent of a physieian from IMymouth to attend the poor at the poor house, at the rate of $t per visit, whon a competont physieiaj of Tyner done the same service at fl,25 a visit. The present guardian of the poor is engaged in cutting and hauV ing logs to Plymouth for sale, for his own benefit, t lie labor being performed by the paupers, and the terns and other expenses coming from the county treasury. He does not swear to this statement, but has great reason to believe it true. In relation to the internal revenue or tax, he stated, that at a meeting held in IMymouth on Saturday evening last the speaker asked the audience to tell who paid rovenae tax in this county, and out of that yast crowd of 2500 people, but one man answered and u that was me." This deolaration was received with profound silence, and he then followed the remark with the assurance that no one ever heard him complain of the revenuo tax. The democrats make a great fuss about this tax, but it is all wiped out now ; you will pay no tax on domestic goods any more ; nothing but coffee, sugar, tea ami tobacco will be taxed now, and they always were taxed. Hut. you will find the tax you pay in Marshall county to be increased if you elect a democratic treasurer this fall, for he gets one third more for collecting taxes now, than the treasurer of St. Joseph county dues. Now, my democratic friends, I ask you what you will do Here the speaker received the startling announcement from the audience that they would vote for Seyuieor and Ulan 1 this remark cnH ne1 the andiene. tu such in exfojf th a Ihc eafMMifa retired

Lib y lauiaii ' repeated in Gen. Kimball was speaking from a box on the east side of the street to a lare pay? Can any one of you tell ?" and he paused for an answer. He repeated : " Is there a man present who ean tell how much taxes the people pay; any one of you?" and paused again. Mr. Reeve said, "About twenty-five 1 dollars a head for the head of every faini Gai. Kimball. How much ? " Reeve. " About twenty-five dollars i head for each hand of a family." Kimball. " What for ? " Rsci e. " For everything; from a box of matches to the clothes he wears." KtmbaU, "For what?" Reeve. il For everything, almost, from a box of matches to a coffin." KanbalL (Vehemently) It's not so. It's an iuferual lie." A prominent republican merchant in the crowd here cried out: " It's a G d lie ! Charley Reeve, you're a G d liar! " Some one near him told him to hold on, but he repeated th e words, aud said, " I'll go over there and tell him so," and he went to lieeve and told him so repeatedly. Beere laughed and told him to 14 keep still and let Gen, Kimball do the talking; let him answer it;" that he " wanted to hear the speech," &c, but th a man kept on, and Reeve kept good naturcd and listened as well as he could. Ouee or twice when thero was confusion near him, lieeve induced them to be quiet, and the crowd was very orderly except some boys near the bonfire. When Kimball closed the crowd culled loudly for lieeve. lie went attong them aud told them he was not going to speak. That it was ' a republican meeting and nune of our funeral," and he should not speak. Three faint cheers had been given for Graut and Colfax, followed by three rousing cheers for Seymour aud Blair, aud the call, long and loud, continued for lieeve. He started oft, and tho crowd followed, calling for him to speak, lie turned on the walk, took off his hat and spoke about eight minutes. lie opened with the following remarks: " Gentlemen, I shall not make a speech. This is a called re publican meeting. Let them have their way." BosM one said, "They are through." lieeve said, u That's no matter ; its their meeting. Its a rule with us to disturb no meeting. We leave to republicans the pastime of disturbing political meetings, stoning processions, tearing down printing offices, and mobbing people who differ with them in opinion; but inasmuch as Gen. Kimball asked a questiou and repeated it, and paused for an answer and I answered, and he called me a liar, 1 will nrovc to you that I told the truth." He then demonstrated beyond question that the taxes were not only 8-" per head for each head of a family, but far beyond that, for interest alone, on the public debt, to say nothing of other expenses; and also that the General's statements about taxation in this county were false. He concluded aw follows: " So mueh for our side of the ease. General Kimball is a fine looking man and holds a responsible office, lie is a tine speaker and makes as able a speeoh as can be made on his side of the question. He has made the beet speech I have heard made on that side. He makes a gentlemanly speech and if he continues as he has done here, he will make friends socially, but he will make no votes for his party; for with such glaring inconsistencies between facts whieh the commonest man knows to be true, and his statements concerning them, no can deceive no one and will fail in the effort." It, is now charged that Mr. lieeve called Kimball a liar several times, and spoke of him in a shamefully disrespectful manner. It is wholly untrue. All he said of General Kimball I have given above. It is true he skinned the General clean as to argument and fact, on the question iu dispute, and left him and his friends without a leg to stand on ; but it was by aigun.eat and not by invective or personal allusions. The crowd were jubilant and the cheers were deafening at each point mads OU the doughty General, and they fell fast and furious. I never heard so much fact and Conclusive logic iu an hour as was crowded into his sigh I minutes ipeeeh. I took notes id' both speeches, and know whereof 1 have written. I'-UKI'LAV.

A thrilling incident occurred here last wick, which at one time bid fair to end the career of one of the most promising young American actors, Mr. J. E. Whiting, a gentleman well known in all parte of the United States, It seems that sume three winters 'cc Mr. W then playing at Um St. Charles Theatre, New Orleans, had established inti mate relations with a woman named Joselina Honrader. She was beautiful, si though a little "olf color;" somewhat accomplished, ami very jealous, so much so in fact that when Joe's engagement ended al the St, Charles, he was very glad to "quit' her. She, furious at his deserting herwent to Cal1 ifornia, where some friends of his tohl her he had gone. From there she returned a few months since, and only last week met him here upon the street, he having just arrived from New Yoik on his way to CincinnatiShe insisted upon his accompanying her to her house, and there reproached him rata his conduct, and threatened to be revenged. He olfcred her a large sum of money to quie t her, but she refused to accept it, and with the assistance of a villain in her employ, tak. ing him unawares, knocked him down a trap door into a dark cellar. There .n be little doubt that here they fully intended to murder him, but he, recovering himself as he fell, entered upon his defense with such desperation that they were driven from the cellar. Mr. Whiiinj? then tore -way the ladder by which the would-be assassins escaped to the first floor, and with i pick-axe which the fellow dropped managed to break his way out. Mr. W. no doubt owes bis life to his courage and vigor, but as may be supposed does not make any especial effort ty sain publicity for his adventure. It is reported that a son of President Un. coin, a young man who dabbles in legal matters here, is about to get married to a daughter of Senator Meets, of Iowa. "Bob" has liil fjoui points, no doubt, but is a decided falling otf from the ability of his Hither. The fall trade is already beginning to evince a gratifying prospect of activity, and an unusual number of new linns are noticeable on our principal business thoroughfares. There have been also quite a number of changes in the membership of prominent lams, all indicative of a purpose of extraordinary energy this autumn. Among the principal of these is the withdrawing of Mr. J. H. Reed from the firm of J. H. Reed & Co., the oldest drug hoose in the west, by which change tl e business is now put in the lmnds of Messrs. Horace A. Ilurlbut, who has been memtx r f the Qrm since is'50, and Mr' Barton EdsaU, who has been a 'partner since lv;,'0- Except that it will give them something more of independent power to act in accordance with the spirit of enterprise and energy whieh have won for them their lead ing position among the merchants of the Rest This change trill in no wise affect the conduct of the firm- Mr. Reed has for the past fifteen jretn resided iu New York as the purchasing agent of the firm, leaving the responsibilities of managing its immense trade to Ifessrs. Hailbul ft BdeaD. There Is not a state or territory, scarcely a oountj, in the west, to which their trade docs not ex tend, and in whieh theil name does not stand A Xo. 1. They will continue the business at the old location, Xo. 112 Lake street, where they will labor as heretofore to serve their patrons with courtesy, integrity and precision. At this time they possess a magnificent stock of pure drugs, chemicals, paints, oils, varnishes, dl uir gists sundries, S:c, unexcelled in any western establishment, and are prepared to offer them to the trade upon the most advantageous terms. The Washington street tunnel is rapidly approaching completion, and will be finished this year, if present expectation! are at all realized. Another great step in public itn provements now projected is a street railway down South Clark street, lt will be begun in the spring. The .Japanese troupe of acrobats, Jugglers, etc., which were here last week, were the most astonishing fellows in their peculiar line whom wc have yet seen her . One of them actually ate living coals of fire, another spun tops along a string across the stage and up a perpendicular string, a third jumped a basket six h e' long and only twenty inches wide, In whit h were four burning candles and thrt 8 sharp SWords, and the others did many other queer things. They go to Kenosha and other places in Wisconsin this week, and back to Detroit next. t'OUJdock and daughter are playing to good houses at MeYiekcr's.
