—the rates being 17 mills on' the dollar for
ILe general fund and 23 for the interest fund,
making forty mills in all. This is exclusive
f the special street, school, county and State

an 'average taxation of ten per cent. at

WE notice that the New York -Canal
Board (Democratic,) has appointed , five edi
tors of country papers to offices in their de
partment This is as it should be. Until
the Republican party act upon the principle
that the laborer is worthy of his hue, they
cannot expect that whole-sonled - interest
among the .editorial fraternity that the Dem
ocratsget. Editors are but human, and they
don't like to do all the work and let incom
petent nobodies jump in and. take the profits.
—Corry Telegraph. , .
We cannot agree with the Telegraph in
Its views of, the rewards due, to editors. .It
Is true, 'as it dahlia, that the editors'of politi
cal papers do more hard work for their party
than any other class, but it is only as a legiti
mate portion of their calling, and as such
ought to be performed willingly. This whole
office -seeking business i 9 a scandal to r the
edittiti t and the sicineratirod plan 18*h:wised
to obviate it the better it will be for the na
tion. Above all,we object toseeinu members
of the editorial fraternity engaged in it, es
pecially when they c are in a position that
renders them independent of the emolu
ments of office. In our view the editor of
an influential and prosperous journal occu
pies a station as mach higher than the corn
mon herd of office holders as the pine is
taller than the stunted scrub' near its base.
An editor is respected in proportion as he is
himest and independent, and no one who is
an office-seeker can be either. The moment
he becomes one he invariably losei his pres
tige, and the influence of his paper dwin
dles. We hope to see the day when editors
will :regard it as beneath their station to ap
ply for an office of any kind, or even to ac
cept one, unless it comes in such a manner
as to clearly indicate that no solicitation was
necessary to procure it: A. determination of
this kind, pervading the editorial ranks
throughout' the length and breadth of the
Union, will do more to elevate the standard
and add to the influence of the press, than
all other plans that can be adopted.
TUE Republican Oyler She Dispatch and
Gazette "the organs of faction in this city,"
and accuses them of being "determined to
foment, if possible; a local and personal fight
in this county." It defends the Radical Co.
Committee from the charge of entertaininga
disposition to repudiate. the action of the last
County Convention, adopting the Crawford
county system of making nominations, alleg
ing that it has "not the least foundation in
fact." The belief, adds the Republican,"per
bin; never entered into any one's brain, un
less it might be that of some anxious and
ambitlotus politician; or -some self-conceited
tactionist who thinks every one a political
scoundrel who does not syrripathize in his
politicithates, and unite-with him hi his po
litical prejudices." "We know," so says our
cotemponny, "that the Republicans of the
county have trio- much sengairiffoo much
regard for the welfare of the party to believe
these false and utterly unfounded charges,
and to be led or cheated into a factious course
by men who bitterly hate certain other men,
and wiukivouldlivillingly split and district
the:Party in order to haie their min malice
gristified." It concludes by warning "all who
are truly. Republicans, and not mere camp
followers," to " cast aside these false
guides and fomenters of discord," which
is -pretty cool ' when it is remem
bered that the Gazette has been the party
organ for fifty years, and the men whom. It
represents are among the oldest and staunch
est opponents of the Democracy in the coun
ty. The campaign opens .briskly. and we
will see lots of fun before it is ended.
Tau establishment of a new daily effected
a remarkable change in the manner of the
Dispatch's treatment of local topics, which
ire - are pleased to observe that it has not
abandoned since the suspension of its rival.
Were a little of - the same moderation to be
introduced now into its telegraphic and pri•
litical departments, Our cotemporary would
'render itself more acceptable to a large class.
of its readers, and add-largely to its repots
tbin for candor and "independence." We
have a liberal acquaintance with the Radical
press of the country, and In the whole range
of our acquaintance, we do not know a Jour
nal-of that party which so systematically,
unfairly and indecently traducesDemocmde
men and measures as the Dispatch. Even
'Fomey's Press and the Harrisburg Vele

America, are obliged at times to hide their
diminished heads in comparison with•the
vulgarity and malice of our "independent"

'Tr= Republican thinks if Hr. Hewlett, the

have spouted their Radicalism during the

and very little to their bearers ? We com•

"Sri ag me from my friends," was the ex

.Walker' has
profound , reason for ardently and prayer
fully uttering the same ejaculation, if many
of his friends are of a protein with the author
of a communication week's,Gazette,
attempting to excuse his support of the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress in 1862. We
freely endorse somneltof the article as ad
mita that our nominee upon that occasion
was more worthy of public confidence than
Mr. Scofield, but the en - cleaver to convict
hint of being in sympathy with Radicalism
will be regarded as a huge joke by those who
ate acquainted with-the facts. Mr. Walker's
personal relations with bOth the candidates
led him to prefer Mr. Courtright, and he is a
gentleman of too much firmness oftbaracter
to regret the course he pursued, or to seek
to have it "sugar coated" la the lame manner

his place, we should Ebel strongly tempted.to
have the latter indicted for a malicious de

• Tam tendency to innovation which pre

passage of a bill requiring the local elections,

on the same day as the general elections in

to make everything turn upon politics, and,
instead of securing the. best men for local
officers, without regard to their party pro-.
clivities, we will have every officer, from
Justice of the Peace to Constable,chosen be
cause he belongs to the dominant party in his

a sufficient counterbalance to the nuisance of
having the selection of all'city, borough and
