WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7,1871.

THERE has been some doubt about the position of the Cincinnati Enquirer,inregard to the "forward movement." There can be none in the future. In the issue of that paper on Monday the following language is used: "Wo would advise the Democracy to take the ground boldly and manfully, clearly and unequivocally, against disturbing the amendments."

The acquescing in the amendments to the Constitution, as "acomplished facts," is the main feature in this forward movement 011 the part of the Democratic party. The Grant party, through its exponents, have declared that it intended to make the campaign of 1872, on the issues growing out of the war. These issues now, of course, embraced in the Constitutional amendments and the legislation growing out of them. It was ripping up again the old and partially healed sores of the war, and exposing their ugly deformities again to public view. It was fostering, encouraging and keeping alive, for partisan purposes alone, the animosities between the North and South, and preventing amicable relations from existing between them. In short, it was doing that which patriotism, and all the Christian instincts of true manhood forbid, for the indefensible purpose of keeping, for four years longer, corrupt, incapable and ambitious men in office.

The "forward movement" on part of the Democratic party, is against opening

again

those dead and unpleasant issues, and is the most honorable and remarkable movement in the right direction ever made "at one fell swoop," by any political party in this country. It required great individual, collective, political and party courage to do it, but it has been accomplished.

In speaking further of this movement, the Enquirer says: "Weadvise the Democracy to adopt this course, in view of the (/rent danger. While the past may not be forgotten, and for the futuro safety of the Republics should not be, we counsel, to avoid getting back into the agitation and commotion of a revolutionary struggle, which the country is glad to be out of, to consent, and so declare, not to disturb the scars which the late terrible struggle, in its revolutionary throes, left 011 the body of the Constitution, but work to avert from its heart the dagger which the enemy is aiming to 1-eac through these very scars."

This is the language of true patriotism, and must be taken as the utterance of sincerity. We know now of not one single leading Democratic paper of the country but advocates tlie adoption of this forward movement* We do not know of one influential Democrat in this section of the State, but who lias either expressed himself in favor of it, or is silent in his opposition. It is the road to Democratic success in the coming great campaign, and he must be politically blind who can not see it. If the Grant party intend to avoid all the important issues of the day, in order to so arouse the passions of the people that corrupt men will be retained in power, then we know there are good and true Republicans scattered all over this country, who will refuse to take any part with them in such an uupatriotic, and unchristian campaign, but who will rather go into the camp of their former enemies, and fight in their cause, keeping with them an untroubled conscience, and a Christian desire to do what is right. The Grant party has swallowed up the manly and noble part of the old Republican party, and now seeks to be retained in power by endeavoring to deceive the people, and exciting the worst passions of their natures. Its leaders absolutely now oppose this forward movement, because it is right, and they manifest anger because Ihe Democratic party has become rigid. Was there ever such an objection raised to a political organization before. Would that we could only object to the Grant party for the same reason.

MRS. LAITRA D. FAIR, the central figure of the latest cause celebrc in San Francisco, has been finally sentenced to be hanged. There is no telling what delay in the execution of this sentence may yet be procured by ingenious counsel but, as we believe that commutation of judicial sentence is not permissable under the laws of California, it seems probable that the lovely and accomplished murderess will be hanged, unless the Governor should absolutely pardon her.

OK THE one hundred and six members of the Commune Government, only Pyafc remains at large. The arrest of Grousset narrows down the number of fugitives, and will stimulate search for the last Of them. Now that the bloody drama is fairly over, it is instructive to contemplate the awful suddenness of the destruction which ltas overtaken the conspirators, one by one. ... ,•»

Mr. Greeley in the Field.

To the Editor of the New York Tunes: Horace Greeley has put himself in nomination for the Presidency. I say put himself—for no one believes that the letter to him, and the one from him, bringing him out, could have seen the litrhf,'had he not desired it. But see the blunderer even in this supreme act "of his life To be nominated or elected, he must hasve the support-of. the entire Republican party. That party is made up of nearly as many from the old Democratic party, as trom the old Whig party Yet in this initial movement, for this high office, Mr. Greeley lias the folI to

that the proper candidate for

the place "should be a steadfast, con"ant belicver in the old Wg.g doc trine of one Presidential term.

must see that it is more a thrust at Gen. Grant than a promise for his (Mr. Greeley's) own action, and every such man must also see that old Democrats when they read it will say: "Ah! indeed! the good old Whig doctrine, eh? The good old Whig doctrine, and how many other good old Whig doctrines does the nomination and election of good old Whig Greeley mean.

H. G. has begun his canvass in his usual way. At the first step he has given uneasiness to about one-haLf of his party in showing by an" unguarded sentence, what would be the enevi table tendency of his administration.

TAXATION FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES.

Liability of the Tax-payer in Case of Transfer to a Different TownshipOpinion of Attorney General Hanna.

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, "j STATE OF INDIANA, June 3, 1871. Hon. Milton B. Hopkins, Superintendent

Public Instruction: DEAR SIR Your official communication has been received. Your proposition is as follows "Does the tax for tuition levied by a township, town or city extend to the property and polls of persons transferred for school purposes to a different township, town or city?"

By the act of March 9, 1807, the Trustees of eivil townships, incorporated towns, and the Common Councils of cities are authorized to levy annually a tax, not exceeding twenty-five cents on each one hundred dollars of taxable property, and twenty-five cents on each poll, for school purposes.

Under the act of March fi, 3 865, for the purposes of convenience and accommodation, any person, so wishing it, by request made to the Trustee, at the time of enumeration of the children, may be transferred to an adjoining township, town, or city. AVhen so transferred, and any tax is levied in any such township, town, or city, in conformity to law, for school purposes, he must pay a sum equal to the tax so assessed against him, computing the same on the property and polls liable to tax in the township, town or city where he resides, according to the valuation thereof by the proper Assessor. Such is almost the language of the statute under which the transferisorganized. In default of such payment he is debarred from educational privileges.

The transfer, it seems, for educational purposes completely takes him out of the township, town or city where his property is, and he acquires such privileges in the place to which he is removed, only by the payment of the tax assessed, according to the provisions. Payment of such tax releases his property from the special school charges of the place of his residence.

Default in such payment leaves him just as he stood before the transfer, subject to the school tax of the place of his residence but being misplaced in the enumeration, he is, perhaps, entitled to school privileges nowhere until his restitution has become as complete as his voluntary alienation. Pie became delinquent only at the place of his residence. The law simply gives him an election of place for the purpose of convenience in no case does it release him from the tax assessed for school purposes.

Very respectfully, B. W. HANXA, Attorney General.

Sheridan 011 the Franco-Prussian War.

Jen. Sheridan has reached home from his r,tudy of the battle scenes and army life of Europe.

His views upon the European war are most interesting and valuable. He has traveled over a very large extent of the contested territory," and examined many of the forts, ealrth-works and strongholds. He was present at several of the principal battle-fields, including Gravellotte, Sedan, and various localities around Metz. While abroad he was met with the most cordial and distinguished attentions from all the authorities, and received especial and marked courtesies from the Emperor of Germany, King William, and his royal suite. He is very careful and considerate in the expression of opinion upon the merits and comparison of the several national armies. "Why," he said, in response to a question from our reporter, "it is not an easy thing to say who fights best. They are all good soldiers. But there is a wonderful difference in their respective peculiarities. The Germans are tremendously stubborn, and stand fire like a wall of stone. The French are more full of dash." He does not make any invidious comparisons. The grand success of the Germans, he says, was partly owing to the excellent training their officers have received in their military schools, and to the splendid discipline of the men. The same thing may be claimed for the French. It is a wonder that the latter have stood out so long as they have. Their reverse is not due to alack of prowess or skilled officers, but political troubles at home. Place both of those nations in the same prosperous state they were five years ago, and the present situation might be very greatly changed. Then, again, there is the question of arms. The needle gun is of immense power. So is the Chassepot. But these do not excel a perfect gun of our "Springfield" pattern. It is not fair to draw hasty conclusions in these matters. The campaigns there were not comparable to those of our late war Their country is an older one. It has been mapped out and surveyed, almost to the foot, for warlike operations. It is all known. The roads are older and better than ours. The territory is more thickly populated, and .the battle-fields in closer contiguity. Their base of supplies and objective points are of easier range. Besides, they have made war a science for centuries. Military schools abound. Their soldiers are more absolutely subservient than ours. They have drilled reserves ready at all times—even in peace. Our country is immense with inferior and scattered roads. We have but one military school, with a small number of pupils, and a small standing army. But in war-like operations they have more red tape than we do. There are many improvements suggested to us by their systems. But, after all, there is no such material as is found in the American armies. They are composed of every national ingredient, and have much eminent talent from foreign schools. Von Moltke is a man of tremendous inherent will. He moves large bodies of men with rare success, and handles them splendidly. He carries out his plans as a man recites something thoroughly committed to memory. The king, too, has a superb judgment. The beauty of the Prussian military mind is its great carefulness. It is never hasty nor ill-advised. Possibly \t Metz, had the French people a strong government, and had their military leaders been of the old Napoleonic force and dash, the fortuue of war might now. be vastly changed. Place those armies here and they would be nonplussed at the topographical difficulties we overcame. .There is nothing like our army for our work. We have an excellent system but it needs changes, and can be vastly benefitted by some of the European examples.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Two Counselors for Vh« South. While this poor traitor and rebel (Jeff. Davis) is scattering treason ami iucitin' a new rebellion, a man who weakly helped him out of prison, and who stands foremost among the noble leaders of abolition and good government, is also making speeches in the South. Horace Greeley, bondsman for Jefferson Davis, is there "counseling peace, order law and Union. Beneficent and wise he attracts vast crowds pf Southerner? to hear him,

and if they are less enthusiastic over him than over Jefferson Davis, they listen courteously and earnestly to his truer, better advice. The South can choose between these two men. Jefferson Davis gave them four years of war, waste, defeat, or death on their hearthstones, and desolation in their fields. Horace Greeley, standing among them simply as the representative of the best feeling and intelligence of the North, offers them universal amnesty, peace prosperity, a newer, better life than they ever knew, a more glorious future in the Union than they can ever gain outside of it. They know the two men, know that the latter speaking for the North, will make his prophecies true, and that Jefferson Davis will drench the South land again in blood and wrap it in flames—if he can.

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

JL A

The following conversation recently took place between parties living in this city, and being reported to ns, we giye it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with anew dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it? Mrs. R.—J^fiy-five cents a yard. -,s

Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it! Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where I got mine. Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours?

Mrs. R.—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE. Mrs. B.—Do you then trade atFoster Brother's? I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where lean buy the cheapest, and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promis

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brdfiiers.

Mrs. P.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, lor I am tola that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How Jong have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut off a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in I happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me iu a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. VVe would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you ALL your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in evenway satisfactory to tne buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advprtisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you sec everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you f-ee their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at ihe door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streetsefforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have anybody ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down'upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old 'stores £0 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging.

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New Yorii City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the aboye without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is qnite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf. F. B.
