The Count Finances. A communi
cation nppoared In the Dt mocrat and Demo
cratic Guard Inst week, over Ihef signntuie
of "Tax Payer," who. is endeavoring to
iiain I ho i nir out 01 ini'ip tn rmmrt in me
ounty Finances. "Tax Payer" is evidently
Tin apt scholar, for ho lias succeeded iu
bearing the matter up ns clear as mud.
Having taken figures to suit his own case,
he has brought tho expenditures of the
county down to $29,700 2, which will, no
doubt, raise a question of veracity between
lihu and the county Auditors. But ns tho
Auditors are men of honor .and veracity,
the people will tako their figures as being
correct in preference to those of 'Tax Payer.'
Nor is it probable that they will reverse
the credit and debtor accounts like "Tax
Payer," and jumble it up so no one is able
to comprehend which is right or which is
wrong. "Tax Payer" is evidently well
"booked," having, no doubt, received in
structions from the editorsof tho Democrat,
and probably a few lessons from 'the learn
ed President of tho King. IIo -says that
there is "no janitor of the Jail incxistence."
If such is the case, will he explain why a
Out was. presented for bis services and what
'was done with it. "Tax Payer" is beyond
a doubt a tax collector or a menial of tho
Iting.and is desirous of preparing the minds
ol the people, that from 40,000 to $50,000
should necessarily always remain in the
bands of collectors aunuully.
If the Ring can biro another "Tax Pay
er," to cipher up their case, they'may suc
ceed in throwing dust in the eyes of a few
aud their chances of being retained in
office may be somewhat better than now.
A Free Tiiade Dodge. One of those
stupid inventions, frequently found in
Democratic Journals, sometimes published
through iguoranco, but more frequently
through design, we observed Inst week in
tho Guard. It is a list of articles with the
amount of duty imposed by tlie tariff, which
amount the writer assumes that every far
mer or consumer has to pay as an addition
al tax on the article. Now, we have only
to say, that an editor who is not a knave,
and does not know any better, should be
employed in somo other vocation. Every
intelligent Journalist knows, if he knows
anything about the operations of the tariff,
that mauy protected articles, manufactured
.in -this country,bave been reduced in prici
by competition and superior skill, so as to
sell below even the rales of the tariff. Our
manufacturers have undersold the British
in the article of muslin in their own posses
ion, by furnishing a heavier and better
article for the same money, and havo sold
muslins to our home consumers at six cents
when the tariff amounted to that sum. "Wo
have bought .nai!a-f- 3 cts ner lb. and vet
the tariff that set us to making nails amoun
ted to 3f cts per lb. Tho English people
themselves were obliged to adopt our iu
ventione to save their manufacturers, and
prevent our nails going into their own
markets. This was ulbo the case in the
manufactures of wood screws, and other
articles. They can only -undersell us by
employing cheap labor,and our Democratic
iaiei'8 are saying in cil'ect that our labor
ers and mechanics must work at reduced
wages in order to compete with foreign
manufacturers. Such are tho arguments
of modern Dcmoeracts backed up by fraud
ignorance and stupidity.
AVE notice that sine the publication of
tho Auditors Report, the delinquent collec
tors are brought up to the mark by tho
managers of the King. Many oT these col
lectors will no doubt fuel a littlo chagrined
at this sudden movo by the Kiug, when
they reflect hov they procured their dupli
cates, and the promisee that wore tnado to
them. This move is highly necessary on
tlie part of tho Ring nttl.is timr, us it is
supposed ninny votes may yet bu made bu
tweeu this and the Democratic primary
lection by bhowing some activity. No
itoubt if the tax collectors can (shove them
pff until after the election, an extension of
lime will be grouted to them. We think
that the taxpayer would prefer tho paying
over us it would save the paying
of the interval ou some r.27,OuO of tlie
founty indebted uess. The 7 mill lax levied
vill probubly reach to pay the expenses
nextyeur, unless there mould beextru irou
bridge built, aud an ejtra quantity offuel
cousumed, uud a few articles of merchan
dise required.

Thank Your Enemies. A contempo
rary shrewdly remarks that whenever (Tie
Republican patty commits n blunder the
Democratic party straightway marches off
and commits half a dozen. Never was this
so curiously Illustrated ns oil a recent oc
casion. The Republicans had made a mis
step. At ones tho Democrats saw tueir
opportunity and fell to work. Jefferson
Davis comes out of his obscurity and de
livers a public speech in view of a hoped
for Democratic national triumph, declaring
that he Iirb abandoned none of his views or
opinions, that he will still continue to labor
for them, and has a full belief in their suc
cess. Frank Blair revives his declarations
acainst tho validity of the Fourteenth nnd
Fifteenth amendments 6f tho national Con
stitution, and we have a Democratic paper
beforo us from Lexington, Kentucky, argu
ing at length In support of his position, and
rejoicing that this bids fair to bo the Dem
ocratic national platform in 1872. In South
Carolina the rebels have held a meeting in
Charleston, repudiated the payment of the
State taxes, and refused to recognlzo tho
State bonds as valid. In Pennsylvania a
Democratic Senate refuses to agree to a
convention to revise the State Constitution
because it would recognize the Fifteenth
amendment as binding aud abolish race
distinctions accordingly. Undisguised free
trado is trotted out now under Democratic
auspices, at the bare prospect of a chnucc
of the success of the party next year.
In fact that party has learned nothing by
adversity. During all the time it has been
in a'hopuless minority it has cherished the
same evil purposes, the same perverse and
reactionary propensities, the same' hostility
to tho march of free institutions, the same
undying negro-phobia, the samo proclivity
to disintegration. It is fortunate, there
fore, that a few Democratic successes should
have stimulated the party to exhibit its1
real character. There havo been Republi
cans who ikucied that, as nil the old exist
ing questions were settled, the Democratic
party might possibly be used as an agency
for good in new directions. But it will be
seen by the declarations of men like Blair,
formally indorsed by respectable party
journals, that the party does not recognize
the old questions as settled at all, and is
fully boat on reopening them. The strug
gle to build up anew the power of the sep
arate States, and weaken tho national au
thority, goes on steadily in Congress and
in the columns of the Democratic press ull
over the country.
This bold declaration of sentiment has
exercised a very wholesomo effect upon tbe
Republicans generally. It has closed' up
the ranks everywhere. . Dissensions are
dying away. The St. Louis Democrat, so
recently absorbed in dividing and distract
ing the party, sinks all local aud personal
considerations, and has become a .most ear
nest and cQlcieut Republican organ, coun
selling unity aud harmony. In Congress
the party has become solidly reunited, aud
votes together iu a style Hint is exhilarat
ing. Upon Judge Kelley's resolution rela
tive to taxation, and tho passage of the
Kuklux or force hill, the demonstration was
important aud significant. Tho party baa
recognized that the old battle is to be fought
over again. Ve "have scotched the snake,
not killed it." All we could wish Is likely
to come to pass. The rebel declarations of
Jefferson Davis, supplemented by tlie more
ingenious and plausible pocches of Alex
audcr II. Stephens to the same end, and
the outspoken -candor of Frank Blair, have
already fixed the nationr.l policy of the
Democratic party for 1872, and those amus
ing dreamers of Democratic nud licpubli
cau fuitb, who have been imagining a sort
of hybrid ticket for President aud Vice
President "a slico ojf pef cut with a
hamray knife to gittv la44llavox'' -a Re
publican head on f i,' Vtlc body a
live and patriotic braSjf.jW skull of a
dead rebel will have a i happy time of it,
"letting I tlnre noi wait upon 1 would."
Those who insisted on forcing discussions
of an exciting character hi Congress, iu
hoics of making capital against the admin
istration and its party, have done us emi
nent service without intending it. They
have afforded to the groat national patri
otic party the lesson that was required,
and increasing harmony iu tho ranks U
everywhere visible ns the grand result.

TOE WAR IN rRAKCE.
The Mort Terrifib Firing of tub
Conflict.
Paris, May If The firing, Inst night,
was fearful, and apparently utterly reckless
as to tho damage it inflicted on the city.
Nothing to compare with it lias occurred
since the commencement of the civil war.
The city is greatly excited and alarmed.
Groups of frightened pcoplo are collected
In almost every street and avenuo discuss
ing the alarming state of aflhirs.
General Okolowita' wound is very severo,
nnd his recovcryjis believed to be doubtful.
The delegates from the Masonic lodges
of Paris have returned from Versailles,
having been unable tonccomplish anything.

inforcements lo the armv of investment.
Tho editors of all the modernto journals
in Paris havo been ordered to be prosecut

. London, May 3.
Advices from Paris of yesterday's date
have been received. The alleged capture
of General Dombrowskl by the Versailles
troops is contradicted, tho General being
safe within the Communists lines. The
Federals claim to have driven the Tersaill
Istsfrom tho tronches at Fort D'lssy and
have retaken tho cemetery at the Fort af
ter a bard lought battle.
The fort is now occupied by the Govern
ment troops, aud is being repaired aud
strengthened for, use against the enemy.
The Communists claim that action at
the Railway station at Clamart, on Mon
day, won by the Versaillists, was a ruth
less massacre. Threo hundred Federalists
were surrounded nnd slain by an immen
sely superior force after they had been
taken prisoners and rendered utterly inca
pable of defence.
Advices from Zanzibar, report that Dr.
Livingstone has been heard from. The
explorer when last seen was iu excellent

otlensive movement is apprehended. . u
merous batteries of artillery have been
massed, evidently iu preparation for a gene
ral sortie. I
The Government troops are also con
centrating, and an engagement is hourly
expected. The Versaillists are meanwhile '
preparing for an attack.
The advanced positions havo been ma
terially strengthened, by tho nddition of
several heavy battalions of artillery, and
fresh battalions are moving to the fort.
Paris, ia Boulogue, May 3.
It is currently reported that General
Cluseret has been rearrested by order of
