Jacksonville, Nov. 2 1S70.
To tiik Editor ok the Herald : In the
Democratic News of Oct. 13th, 1S70. we
see a somewhat extraordinary letter, writ
ten by Hon. Jas. D. Fay, dated October
Cth. 1870. We deterred answering until
we returned home, and then intended o
reply through the Neves. On our return
we find the Ntirs suppressed, h-nce our
appeal to the party organ to publish our
leply.
lie makes an invidious distinction in re
gard to the acts of the members of the
Legislative Assembly from Southern Ore
gon, upon the caucus resolutions in dela
tion to the Senatorial question. As usual,
Mr. Fay takes" occasion to laud himself
and censure the acts of others who differ
from ban.
We now propose to state the fac!s in re
gard to that transaction. On the1 15th
day of September, a caucus of the Demo
cratic members was held, at which Mr.
Fay was present, although against his in
clination. At his suggestion, a resolution
was proposed and adopted by the caucus
requiring every Democratic candidate for
the otlice of IT. S. Senator, to state, in
writing, whether or not he was not in
favor of the early completion of the
Oregon and California Railroad through
Southern Oregon.
Although a candidate himself, Mr.. Fay
did not deign to set his views in writing,
as required by his own resolution. Col.
Jas. K. Kelly, alone, gave a written an
swer, substantially saying tlifjt he was in
favor of the early completion of that road,
and of such legislation by Congress as
would secure the Western tenninus'of ihe
Oregon Dranch Pacific Railroad in Rogue
River Valley. This answer was virtually
saiislTictory to us. and we believe to all
the other Democratic members of the
Legislature, except a very few malcon
tents, who were influenced by Mr. Fay to
disregard the usages of the party, by re
maining out of caucus unless they could
dictate its policy and control its action.
Mr. Fay was an aspirant for the office of
U. S. Senator, and yet never gave to the
caucus a written statement of his views
upon the raiiroa'd question, as his first
caucus resolution required. Nor did he
indorse the caucus resolutions adopted
on .he IDih of September, to w hich he re
fers in his letter of October (Jtb, 1870.
The fact is that Mr. Fay was relying
for his election to the U. S. Senate upon
the votes of the Republican memb.ers of
the Legislature, aided by the votes of
such Demociatic members as he could in
duce to remain out of a caucus of their
party. We declined to be parties to any
seueme or tuts Kitm to promote t::e elec
tion of Mr. Fay in opposition to the Dem
ocratic party, and at the hazard of losing
gur standing in it. Hence the querulous
letter of that gentleman to the Democratic
Neics. in which he complains of our acts
.owards himself. This makes it necessary
for us to give this statement of facts in
order to place the whole matter before
the public in its true light, so that every
one may judre for himself who has acted
properly, and who. if any one. is deserv
ing of censure. Axi kw J, Htunett,

Tiie Internal Revenues
The internal revenue law, which took
efl'ect on Ssturday, Oct. 1st. is of very gen
eral interest, from its numerous modifica
tions of taxes heretofore imposed. The
following; is a synopsis of us provisions:
No stomps are required on any re
ceipt for money, whether for a large or
smail amount. All sight checks drawn
on any bank, banker or trust company,
whatever the amount, will require a two
cent stamp, as heretofore' ; all sight
check or money orders drawn on any
private individual, or company, or cor
poration not in the banking business1, will
also require a two-cent stamp, if the sum
exceeds ten'dollars. All notes of hand and
due bills of every description, for a less
sum than one hundred dollars, will re
quire no stamp. All proinisory notes
si mounting to one hundred dollars and
over are to be stamped as hetetofore ;
and all mortgages transferred, rold or as
signed after Oct. 1st will require no new
stamp if the original has been once duly
stamped when it was executed. All
taxes on sales, ex'cept euch as are now
paid by stamps, and except the taS on
sales of tobacco, snuffs, cigars, spirits and
wines, will not cease. The returns for
September are the last to be required un
der the law as it stands. Licenses and
special taxes assessed by the year will
run to May 1st, except the tax on brew
ers and dealers, in distilled spirits and to
bacco". The inquiry has been made a3 to
what shall be done with the two cent re
ceipt stamps hereafter. That stamp is
used in common for receipts, checks, and
whatever else nvght be covered with the
same nmour.t. Those who have bought
them be used solely for rece'pts can use
them for any other purpose requiring a
revenue stamp. Ten of them, wiih a five
cent stamp, would cover a power of at'ur
1 er, and in various ways they may be
utilized until the stock is exhausted.

Ex-Governor John Whitea
kkk. The Washington Standard
pays a lengthy tribute to our ex
Governor from which we extract
the following .
Among the Democratic politic
cians of Oregon, he is one of the
very few who have uniformly ad
hered to principle without becom
ing iactious, envious, or, self-seeking,
or. identified, with any faction
or clique; never among those who
canvass, log-roll, or .bargain for
nominations, and become disaffect
ed when defeated in their aspira
tions; a strict party disciplinarian
without ever sacrificing his sense
of lienor to a party wrong; no man
holds his own conviction by a fir
mer tenure, and none are more tol
erant of differences not material
to the main issues.

"We owe to the Democratic par

to that party the repeal of the odi

trammeled under radical authority.
We owe to that part y that our Cos
mopolitan schools have become a
State institution. Our countrymen
throughout the Western States
owe to the liberal pre-emption laws
passed by the Democratic party
their easily acquired farms and
homes. We owe to . the radical
part' the present odious svstenl of
internal revenue, continued by the
votes of that part' after itsnecccs
sjty was past. We owe to that
pai f y the present unjust and odious
high tariff that is eating out our
substance; and we owe to it the op
pressive taxes that we are compel
led to pay to support an army of
Federal Assessors and Collectors.
And more than all, we owe to that
party the odious Fifteenth amend

ty of the States, and fills our cities

When a young man sees a girl

he drops his handkerchief in front

picks it up, and they walk off arm

From the Nation (.Republican.)
A Candid Feview.
LEADING- REPUBLICAN" JOURNAL
ON CONGLRESS AND ITS DOINGS.
" It is tolerably clear that no
body in the Republican party looks
back to its performance in Con
gress, during the last two years,
with any pride or satisfaction. In
deed, the address of the National
Committee confesses that the least
said about it the better. Two
years more of such helplessness
and incapacity, in the presence of
the questions of the day would
probably, if nothing better turned
up in the interval, make even the
Democrats -rith all their sitis upon
their heads, acceptable to a major
ity of the voters.
"Mr. Rout well is armed with
full ower to fund at a lower rate
of interest, and we believe the new
bonds are being rapidly prepared
in Washington, but the names of
the in vsti'rious " German Bankers"
Who were so eager to take them
and of whom we have herrd sr?
often, have not been revealed. We
venture to say that they have been
slain on the bloody field of Worth,
and that the bonds will for the
present, have to lie in the treasury
vaults, the hostilities of the bank
ers in other countries to our insti
tutions leading then! to prefer 4i
per cent, interest on their money
to 4 ar.d 4L. If, however Mr.
Boutwell can find anybody to fund
upon under the new law, we pre
sume the public will heartily re
joice but there must be 110 favorit
ism in the distribution of the
bonds. "
The uncertainty of the tariff it
is changed from top to bottom
nearly every year combined .with
the weight of its duties, also helps
to strengthen the speculators" and
capitalists, and to concentrate in a
few hands all the most profitable
trades. It is all the great opera
tors having control of large funds
who can successfully contend with
the tips and downs which the tariff
has introduced into business. It
is only they who can spare the la
bor and time necessary for the
work of lobbying at Washington,
which the high duties make as ne
cessary a part of any great manu
facturer's business as the yearly
balancing of his books and the re
pair of his machinery, and it is on
ly they who, if their efforts are un
successful, and sudden adverse
changes are made in the tariff can
meet the crisis without ruin. Un
der such a system there is no place
for small producers. It is as much
as they can do to meet the .annual
uncertainties of trade; the artifi
cial uncertainties they cannot pro
vide for. The consequence is that
the. labor market, like all other
markets, passes every year more
and more under the control of a
few capitalists who whenever thev
please, can make the competition
of capital for labor, on which econ
omists rely so much for keeping up
wages, a mere farce."
The Loss of a Wife. In com
parison with the loss of a wife, all
other bereavements sink into noth
ing. The wife- she who fills .so
large a sphere in the domestic heav
en; she who is busied, so unwearied
in laboring for the precious ones
around her bitter is the tear that
falls on her cold clay! You stand
beside her coffin and think of the
past. It seems at amber colored
pathway, where the sun shone upon
beautiful flowers, or the stars glit
tered over head. Fain would the
soul linger there.- No thorns are
rememdered above that sweet clay,
save those your hand may have
unwittingly planted. Her noble,
tender heart lies open to your in
most sight. You think of her now
as all gentleness, and beauty and
purity. But she is dead! The dear
hand that laid upon your besom
rests in the still darkness, upon a
pillow of clay. The hands that
have rainisterd so untiringly are
folded, white and cold, beneath the
gloomy portails. The heart, whose
every beat measured an eternity of
love, lies under yout feet. The
flowers she bent over with smiles
bend now above her with teats,
shaking the dew from petals, that
the verdure around her may be
kept green and beautiful.

What the Democrats Propose to do.
If the Democracy succeed in
gaining power they are pledged to
and will carry out" these things:
First They will compel the
bondholder to pay as much tax on
his bonds as the farmer pays on his
farm, the merchant on his house
and lot. At-present he pays noth
ing. Second They will pay the bond
ed debt as they agreed to do, and
will not give the bondholder one
hundred cents in gold on a dollar
for that which cost him but fifty
cents the latter being all that he
is entitled to receive.
Tldrd They will cut down the
tariff to a low revenue basis, and
will remove in a large -degree from
the people's shoulders the exhorbi
tant taxes now imposed upon all
the necessaries of life.
Fourth They will reduce the
standing army more than one-half,
and save in taxes on that one item
alone fully $25,000,000. They will 1
also largely reduce the expendi
tures of the navy
Fifth They will save 20,000,
000 a year to the people by abol
ishing the national bank circula
tion and substituting legal tenders
in its stead. They will put forty
millions more into the treasury by
taxation oh the bonds; total
sixty millions; being enough to
pay the interest on one half of the
national debt.
Sixth The gigantic robberies of
try CD
the public lands for the benefit of
railroad corporations, to whom JRe
publican Congressmen have given
whole Slates, will cease, and the
land will be kept for the benefit of
actual settlers.
Seventh They vill repeal the
laws enacted by Republican Con
gressmen, that gave the President
and the military and other Federal
authority the p'ower to interfere in
nonuhr "-elections in the States.
On the contrary, they will forbid
and prevent all such interference.
Eighth They will establish a
rigid "economy in every branch of
the government.
Ninth They will immediately
admit every State to its equal
rights in the Union, and remove
all the political disabilities which
are now so greviotfs an injustice
upon the people ut the South.
'Tenth They will throw the
moral influence. of the goernment
upon the side of every people who

has notoriously not done.
Eleventh They will restore the
Supreme Court and the Judiciary

wrested from it by a corrupt and
unorinci nled administration
Twelfth They will protect the
American laborer against the in

try, where they threaten to reduce
him to starvation it tncre is not a
government interference. They
will save our Pacific coast for homes
for the European and American
and their descendants, instead of
handing it over to the degraded
Chinese Pagans.
They will stop the efforts of the
Republican party in Congrees to
repeal the naturalization laws and
disfranchise the foreign born citi-'H-eiiSi
If the wandering death-bed utterances
of the two great Confederate chieftans
Stonewall'' Jackson and Robert E Lee.
may be considered as final in the matter
then the late Confederate General A- P.
Hill, who lost bis life at the closing battle
of the war, must be accepted by history
as the most -trusted coadjntator of these
eramineut commanders. In his dying
moments Jackson exclaimed. "Send A. P.
Hill to the front ! " Upon his death-bed
at Lexington, General Lee, as the tele
graph states, his mind reverting to the
bloody events ot the war, "once ordered
Ids tent to bo struck, and at another time
desired that Hill to be sent for.7' Thus
does it appear that, in the supreme mo
ments of the closing hours of those men up
on whose shoulders rested the heaviest
burdens of the war upon the fcide of the
Cofederacy, came the utterances, born of
deleriumi but more solemn for that reason,
that stamps Gea. A. P. Hill as a man
whose presence was to be desired and
whose fidelity was assured. No higher
compliment could be paid to his memory
than those parting words of Lee aud Jack
son. An Arkansas paper says: We
hael two great shocks in Arkadel
phia last week, one of wmich was
the empaneling for the first time
of a negro, jury, and the other an
earthquake. The earthquake won.
A stump speaker exclaimed; "I
know no North, no South, no East,
no West, fellow citizens." "Then,"
exclaimed an old farmer in the
crowd "it's time you went to school
aad larnt jography."

this canvass needed something; to
make it lively. There was a pros
pect of a very light vote on the
side of the Ilateites. With noth
ing to bring them out but the slen
der, patronage of the State Executive,-
the party was dying front
sheer inanition before" election.
But now that Grant has introduced
the national treasury to these fel
lows, we shall soon see thellateite
hounds running in full moused
chorus, with Drake, Jewett, and
McClurg shouting to Weston, Flii,t
anel the editor of the Hickory
county Mirror, their two metro
politan organs to cheer on the
pack. We wanted somebody to
fVght, and now we feel that Gen.
Grant has partially only very .
partially supplied the want.Q ,
" Grant writes to Collector 1- ord
Of St, Louis, that he regards the
Brown men as having gone over
to the Democracy; and if Gen.
mi j
Grant is right it is one of the
worst things that could have hap
pened to him, and the (Very best
things that could have Iiappened
to the Democracy. What Gen.
Grdtit probably meant to say was,
that the Brown men had gone oQro
to the party of the period that
its liberal, broad-guage platform
would not only rally all tlft; radi
I cals but all the Democrats to its
support.. We think so too. We
don't c.tre who comes or who goes.
The main point is "let us have
peace," and we intend to have it
in Missouri henceforth and forever
C. I). Drake to the contrary not
withstanding.
"We have no words of -ccp.su re
for the President. We feel too
h?ppy now to find one bit of fault
with him. But won t there to
laughter and merry-making when
Attorney General Akerman com
mences writing to United States
Marshals, District Attorneys, etc.,
that the President learns that they
are affiliating with the ' late rebels,'
and that their resignations wilt'' bo
accepted! Our readers will re
member that Akerman is- a ' late
rebel.'
"It wou't do, General! We
must have a party which possesses
-a i - --1
a coherent strength beyonel that3t
mere spoils.
"This letter of Grant's will add
five thousand votes to McCInrg's
Scanty column, and will swell by
at least forty thousandhe heavy
Liberal phalanx. There are, we
judge, some five thousand floating
politicians in the State without vis
ible means of support, who grasp
at thi3 letter as drowning men
grasp at straws ;' and there are at
least forty thousand voters who
will feel that they can now afford
to refrain from business long
enough to go to the polls and
put this crowd down. Now let
the Ilateites show their teeth!
Let them quit looking anel talking
so lugubriously. Let us have a
cheerful time. We are tired of
long faces. One can readify imag
ine now the expression, of Belshaz
er's face when the henel-writing ap
peareel on the wall, by looking
at the countenance of his Excel-
lency."
It seems that the official republi-"
can majority. of Maine is a little
larger then it was first reported.
It is between 8,000 andO9,000.
Last year the democrats were beat
en 16,000. So large a loss in so
small a State as Mane indicates
that a political whirlwind is sweep
ing over the Union.
