WEEKLYDemocrats, Read !

An article appears ia the CambridgeCity ( I 'ul.) Mirror, announcing that arti--

afforded, proposition

fcs vt "!roe!"' havo JTjby a i: umber of tue purchaseof tti:tt office, tbe same to be under thecontrol of a board of directors, ivc. Theoffice is valued at $5,000, and shares of

! SoQ each arc offered to those wishing to in

vest. The prescut editor says "it is for

the Democrats to say whether they will

continue the paper." Commenting on the

.

i v It says :

"We reproduce the above from the Cam-

bridge City (Ind.) Mirror, not to complainon our account, but to point out to the De-

mocracy at lar:e one ot the chief reasons,why the party has been, in certain locali-ties, "rowinj;," to use a rjuaint but never-theless forcible phrase, ''beautifully less."and if possible, awaken them from the stupor into which they have apparently fall-

en. The Mirror, which makes the abovaappeal to the Democracy of Wajne coun-

ty, is a good, readable paper, sound as re-

gards politics, and is the only Democraticnewspaper iu a section of country that sup-ports half a dozen first class Republicanjournals. Why is this ? Are Democraticnewspapers not so worthy of support byDemocrats as Republican newspapers byRepublicans ' This must be the case, forwe eau't think for a momcut, that Demo-crats arc not a reading class. Let us par-ticularize; perhaps seed thrown out iuthis way, on the wayside, may take rootand brini' forth fruit. In LaPorte, theRepublicans have two larp and well pat'rouized M'eckliesDenKrats UOnC, the lastexpired fur want tf breath: in Valparaiso, one large Republican weekly Demo-

crats did have,' but have uot now ; in Ko-kom- o,

ouc large Republican weekly Dem-ocrats none. And in Democratic countiesthe Republicans arc well supplied with or-

gans, and in many localities have twowhere the Democrats have but one. Thisis why the Republicans arc successful incarrying elections and why Democrats al-

ways come out at "the small end of thehorn." When Republicans arc in power,they defy their opponents and oblige theirfriends. If they have any patronage togive, their organs must have it at anyprice, whereas the Democrats receive bidsand '.vhat not, and want their or:aus towork for nothing and board themselves.This is the relative diirereucc betweenDemocrats and Republicans. Hence Kc-public-

an

newspapers have more life ardvigor, because they arc better supported,and accordingly render better icrvicc.This is Lgical. Democrats must needsdraw party lines closer, give a betterand heartier support to their organs,and not j:;ndcr tu much to Repub-lican influence. Nave Democratic puliti-ticia- ns

anything tocxpect from that source?If they have they arc right, but are theythen good Democrats 't We arc not writ-ing this to cuiiiplaiu, as we havo alreadyrcuK-.1ked.0- our account vc hive a pretty good Mipport all things considered butwe feel that we might render better ser-

vice and make ourselves more useful to theDemocracy were a support given us eoui- -

mensun.t) with the strength of the paityiu Allen county and Northern Indiana.And more in particular, do we write this,to shut the mouths of croakers and fault-finders, of what they would do, were theypublishing a Democratic newspaper hereor elsewhere ! U by, they would collapseor "dry up" quicker than they imagine.

ident of the Haiti d Staff f.Sir: I am in receipt of your order of

this date directing me to appoint General. II. Uionias to the command of the

Fifth Military District, General Sheridanto the Department of Missouri and Gcneial Hancock to .the Department of theCUmbcrlaud, and also your note of thidate cnclosiug the instructions to carry into cllect the enclosed order, "I wouldLc pleased to hear any suggestions youmay Ueem necessary respecting the assignuicuia iu niutu low uiucr rcicra. x ampleased to avail myself of this invitationto earnestly urge iu the name of a patriotic people who have sacrificed hundredsot thousauds of millions of treasure to preserve the integrity aud Union ot' this country, that this order tc not iusistcd on.It is unmistakably the expressed wish ofthe country that General Sheridan shouldnot be removed from his present com-mau- d.

This in a republic, where the willof tho people is tho law of the laud. Iheg that their voice may he heard. Gen.Sheridan has performed his civil dutiesfaithfully aud intelligently. His removal

II only be regarded as au effort to defeatmo jaw or ,UlJtrcKlJ. It wi bc in,er.pretcd by the unreconstructed element iuthe South, those who did all they could tobreak up this government by arms, nrnlnow wish to be the only element consulted

to the method ofas restoring order, as atriumph. It will embolden them to re-newed opposition to the will of tho loyalmasses, believing that they have the exec-utive with them.

The services ot' Geoeral Thomas in bat-tling for thcJJnion, entitle him tc somecon.'idoratiou. He has repeatedly entered

his protest against using assigned to eitherof the live military districts, and speciallv to beinir asisned to relieve GcucralSheridan. General Hancock had notjought, to be removed lrom wnere lie is.His department is a complicated one.which will take a new commander sometime to become acquainted with. Thereare military reasons, pecuniary reasons and j

above all, patriotic reasons why this order !

should not be insisted on. I beg to refer j

to a letter marked private, which I wroteto the President when first consulted onthe subject of a change in the War De-

partment. It bears upon the subject ofthe removal, and I had hoped-woul- d haveprevented it. I h?vc tho honor to be,with jrreat respect,

Your obedrent servant,U. S. Grant,

General United States Army, and Secretary of War ml inU im.

Executive Mansion,Washington, Aug. 19, 1804

General I have received your com-

munication of the 11th inst, and thankyou lor the promptness with which youhave submitted your views respecting theassignments directed iu my order of thatdate. When I stated i.i my official noteof the 17th, that I would be pleased tohear any suggestion's you mihtdeem nec-essary upon the subject, it was not my in-tcuti- on

to ask lrom you a formal report,but rather to invite a verbal statement ofany reasons affecting the public interestswhich in your opiuiou would render the or-

der inexpedient in as much however, in awritten commuuicatiou. It is proper thatI fchould make some reply. You earnest-ly urge that the order be not insisted on,reioaiking that it is unmistakably the ex-

pressed wish of the country, that GeneralSheridan should not be removed from hispresent commaud. While I am cognizantof the efforts that have been made to re-

lieve General ShcriJau of Ü12 commandof the Fifth Military District, 1 am notaware that the quest iou has ever been sub-

mitted to the people themselves forIt would certainly be unjust

to the army, to assume that in the opinionof the nation, that he alone is capable ofcommanding the Strtes of Louisiana, andTexas, that were he Vor any other cause re-

moved, no other General iu the militaryservice of the Unifed States, would becompetent to fill his place.

General Thomas, whom I have designedas his successor, is well known to the coun-try, having won hih and honorable distinction in the field. lie has, since theexecution of the responsible duties of a j

epartment commander exhibited greatability, sjund discrctiou and sterling patriotism. He nas not failed uu.icr themost trying circumstances to enforce thelaws, to preserve peace snd order, to en--

courage the restoration of civil authority,;and to promote as aTas penible a spiritot reconciliation. Ills nJministration oit'ie Department of the Cumborland willcertainly compare most favorably with thatof General Sheridan in the military district. 1 here alu.us aj pear to be m a dis-

turbed condition, aud a bitter spirit of an- -

tagonisiu seems to have resulted from General Sheridan's niaiiauciocnt. Ho hasrendered hiuseif exceedingly obnoxiousby tbe manner in which he has exercisedeven I He powers conferred by Congress,and still more so by a report to authoritygranted by law, not necessary to his faithful and efficient execution. His rule has.in fact been oi.e of absolute tyrauny, without --reference to the principles of our Gov-

ernment or nature of our free institutions.The state or affairs which has resultedfrom the cour.-- c he has pursued, has seri-

ously deterred and interfered with a har-

monious aud satisfactory, aud a speedy cedition ot the laws cd Congress, is alonesufficient to justify a change, and his re-

moval, therefore, cannot be regarded as aneffort to defeat the laws of Congress, furthe object ia to facilitate thcr executionthrough an officer who has never failed toobey the law. aud to exact within his ju-risdiction a like obedience lrom others.- -

It cannot be interpreted by the unrecon-structed clement jf the South, that thosewho did all they could to break up thisGovernment by arms, aud now wish to bothe only element consulted as to the meth-od orotoring order as a triumph; intelli-gent men must know that the mere changeof military commuiandurs can not alter thelaw, ami that Gcucral Thomas will be asmuch bound by its retpiircmeuts as Gen-eral Sheridan. It can not embolden themto renewed opposition to the will of theloyal masses, believing that they have theExecutive with them, for they are per-

fectly familiar with the antecedents of the1'rcsident, and know that he has not ob-

structed the faithful execution of any actof Congress. No one, as you arc aware,has a higher appreciation thaa niysell, ofthe services of General Thomas, and noone would be less inclined to assist himto a command not entirely to hi.s wishes.Knowing him as I do, 1 can not think hewill hesitate, fur a moment, to obey my or-

der, having in view a complete and speedyrestoration of the Union, in the preserva-tion of which he has rendered such import-ant aud valuable service.

General Hancock, kuown to the wholecountry as a gallant, able aud patrioticsoldier, will, I have no doubt, sustain hishigh reputatiou in any position to whichhe may be assigned. It, as you observe,the department he will have is a complica-ted one, I feel confident that under theguidance and instructions of General Sher-man, General Sheridan will scon becomefamiliar with its necessities, and will availhimself of the opportunity afforded by theIndian troubles for the display ot the en-

ergy, enterprise aud daring vrhith gavehim so enviable a reputatiou duriug the re-

cent civil struggle.Iu assuming that it is tho expressed

wish of the people that General Shcri Jaushould not bo removed from hi.s presentcommand, yuu remark that this isaiepub-lie- ,

based, however, upon a written consti-tution. That constitution is the combinedand expressed will of the people, and theirvoice is law wheu reflected in the mannerwhich that instrument prescribes. Whileone of its provisions makes the Presidentcotnmand( of the army and navy,another declares that he shall take carethat the law be faithfully executed, 'e- -

PROVISIONS,

lieving that a change in command iu theFifth Military District is absolutely neces-sary for the faithful execution of the law,I have issued the order which is the sub-ject of this correspondence.

In thus exercising a power that inheresin the Executive under the Constitution,as CDuimander-in-chic- f of the army andnav3 I am discharging a duty required otme by the will of the nation, as formerlydeclared in the sunremc law of the landly this oath the Executive is solemnlybound to the best of his ability to preserve,protect aud defend the Coustitetion, andalthough iu times of great excitement it belost to public view, it is his duty, withoutregard to consequences to himself, to holdit saered and enforce any and all of itsprovisions. Any other course would leadto the destruction of theKcpublic; for theConstitution ouee abolished, there will beno Congress for the exercise of legislativepowers; no Executive to see that the lawsarc faithfully executed ; no judiciary toafford the citizen protection for life andproperty. Usurpation would inevitablyfollow, and a despotism be fixed on thepeople, in violation of their combined audexpressed will.

Iu conclusion, T fail to perceive any mil-

itary, pecuuiary or patriotic reasons whythis order should not be carried intoe fleet. You will remember that, in thefiift instance, I did not consider GeneralSheridan as the most suitable man for thecommand of the Fifth Military District.The first time has stieiiKthem'd mv couvic-tion- s

upon that point, aod lias led nie tothe conclusion that patriotic considerationsdemand that he should be superseded by j

an olliccr who, while he will faithfully ex-

ecute the law, he will at the same timegive more general satisfaction to the wholepeople, white and black, north and south.

1 am, General, respectfully yours,Andrew Johnson.

To General U. S. Grant, Secretary ofWar ad interim.

Kraut's LcUcr to A. J.General Grant's letter to the President

against the removal of Sheridan is a docu-ment which will tend to reinstate him inthe affections of the radical party. It isau impudent letter, and this will pleaso ailJacobins. It is an iiloiiical aud absurdletter, aud this will render it satisfactoryto Jacobins, who, like Senator Trumbull, i

ot this State, are more easily led by soph-istry than by the most logical argument.

It is impudence on the part of GeneralGrant, whoiu no seuse, is a representative j

of the people, to assume, iu their name, to I

lecture the President, who is the chief rep--!rcsentative of the people.

The President said to Gen. Grant : "Iwould bo pleased to hear any suggestionsyou may deem necessary respecting the as-

signment to which the order refers."Gen. Grant, unless gifted with more stu-pidity than he has received credit for,could nut have misinterpreted the Presi-dent's meaning, which related solely toGen. Grant as one whose views on the mil-

itary aspect of the question ought to betreated with respect. Gen. Grant took ad-Vanta- ge

of the President's courtesy to readhim a lecture '"in the name of the people,"on his political duty as President. To saythat, the conduct ot Gen. Grant was impu-dent, is to employ the mildest term it willbear.

General Grant asserts that"Is is unmistakably the expressed wish

or the country that General Sheridanshould uot be removed from his presentcommaud. This is a republic where the j

will ol the people is the law of the laim.

How does Gen. Grant know? In whatunmistakable manner has the couutry in-

dicated to General 1 J runt that such was oris its wish? Has the couutry expressedsuch a wish through the ballot box, or hasGeneral Grant learned it from the Ua'cna(iaz tfe, "the ouly paper he is ia the habitof reading?"

If the country had expressed such a wishin some "unmistakble manner," then that"wish" would be, according to GeneralGrant's notion of things, "the law of thelaud." He employs in a confused way,the terms "wish of the couutry" aud "willof the people," as convertible and syuon3m-ou- s.

lie manifestly supposes that theyhave the same meaning. If such is nothis supposition, his language is meaning-less.

The "will of the people" which is ''thelaw of the land" is a very diliereut thingfrom what Gcucral Grant supposes it to be.It is the popular will expressed iu the man-

ner provided by the luudamcutal law. Itis not popular clamor. It is uot what thenewspapers will. It is not what any polit-ical party or all political parties, may 'wish'uo matter how "unmistakably expressed."

11 the wish of the country, as conveyedto the mental organization of GeneralGrant through the only newspaper that hereads, be "the law of the land," it followsthat A. Johnson is 1:0 longer the commander-in-c-

hief to whom Grant, as well as Sher-idan, is a subordinate officer. If the wishof the country be the law of the land, andGrant be uot m'htakcu as to what that wishis, then Grant has the lawful right, notonly to protest agaiust the removal of Sher-idan, but to prevent that removal by theemployment of so much force as may benecessary. Is this what U, S. Grant de-

signed to intimate he had the right to do,when he assumed to speak in the name ofthe people, and to say that their wish wasthe liW of the land !

However, General Grant's epistolary ef-fort "in the name of the people'' may im-

prove Iiis chances of the Jacobin nomina-tion lor the Presidency, it will, hardly addto his reputation for understanding thenature of a Republican form of govern-ment, or for knowing how to write oodE ugl ish . Ch ieago Times.

At a German mooting held iu Chicago,the other night, Herman Raster, the edit-or of tho Illinois Staats Ziitiing, made aspeech. Referring to tho fanaticism of theradical party, he sail : "As ho had ad-vised bis German fiisnds to leave theDemocratic party in ISf 1, as eagerly wouldhe now advise his German fellow Republi-cans of 107 to part company with a parlythat has recklessly adulterated its nationalprogramme by New England sectionalism."

From the Warsaw Idianiau, Ati. 23. j

Our county has again been the scene ofanother brutal outrage, which has causedthe death ot W. II. H. Fuuk, who residedabout five miles south-ea- st cf this city.Our people had scarcely recovered fromthe excitement caused by the murder of j

the little boy last winter, by whipping,and the arrest and trial of Lawrence Ilarlfur his murder, when the news of this lasttracredy. has again roused the indignationof all who have become conversant withthe facts in the case, the circumstances ofwhich arc about as follows :

Tho Methodists have been in the habitof holdings prajxr meeting at what isknown as Ludlow Church, about five mileseast of this rdace, on both Thursday andSuturday evenings, the latter evening be-

ing more especially set aside for youngpeople. There was a revival at the churchlast winter, at which t me quite a numberattached themselves tothe church, whileat the same time there was a considerableamount of rowdyism manifested on thepart of others, which, however, did notbreak out in any particular violence.

Some two weeks since, while at praver-mcetin- g,

we learn that there was a difficul-ty occurred between the deceased, and oneof the Kist brothers, both residents of theneighborhood, and from that time forwardthey swore to have revenge. A numberof others are implicated in the affair moreor less, and the matter was very generallyunderstood throughout the entire ncii:h- -

i. .

borhood that at the meeting which washeld on Saturday evening last that Mr.Funk, the deceased, was to receive a se-

vere catigation, at lea?t, if not to takehis life.

According!', on Saturday evening, therewas an unusual attendance at the prayermeeting, of those who had not been in thehapit of attending such places, called thereno doubt for the purpose of witnessingthe expected fight, or for the purpose oftaking part in it. As soou as the meetingclosed, Mr. Funk came out, aud when

paces from the door of the meetinghouse, he was con fron tci1 .y some four orlive persons, aud knocked down with astone, and immediately afterwards was setset upon by Henry Kist, who hit him overthe head repeatedly with a stone which heheld in his hand. While this was goingon. a "ring" was formed around the par-ties, and although efforts were made onthe part of the friends of order to put astop to the disgraceful proceeding, theyfound their efforts completely thwarted bythose composing the 'Ting' most of whomhave since been arrested and placed iujail.

Mr. Funk wa3 taken into the church,where he was washed, and then taken toto his home, where he lingered untilabout 4 or 5 o'clock ou Sunday evening,when he died. "Word was immediatelysent to this place, warrants were issued,and a party proceeded to the neighborhoodand arrested Elijah Kvans, James Mlin.snn,Leonard Hiuo.r, Warren Howe, Win.Weiss, George Andrews, Wade Harris,Jacob Kist and Mr. Cramer, all of whomwere brought to town and placed iu jail.Henry Kist, the individual who used thestone is still at large.

Oa Monday we attended the Coroner'sir.mtest, which was held at the residenceof the deceased, and the evidence thereelicited, is suls'antially stated above.Drs. Lccdy and Davenport held a postmortem examination of the body, whichdisclosed the fact that tbe inner tabic of tbeskull over the right temporal region wasbroken, several severe contusions werediscovered on the back of the head, andnumerous bruises were fouud upon hisbreast and body.

The young man who lost his life wasabout 27 years of age, very muscular, andit is thought that this is the reason whyhe was set upon by so many. He wasmuch respected by his neighbors, honestand upright, and was a member of theMethodist denomination. The occurrencehas cast a deep gloom over the neigh-borhood iu which the tragedy was com-

mitted, as there is scarcely a family in itwhich is not affected by the ad affair,cither as relatives of the deceased, or ofthose implicated in its committal.

The remains of the young man were in-

terred on Tuesday at 10 o'clock, therebeing a very large concourse of people inattendance, and the grief manifested onthe occasion we are to id, was heart-rend-iu- g

in the extreme.Thus has another barbarous outrage

been perpetrated iu our county, and whilewe do not desire to particularize the indi-

viduals who were instrumental iu the deathof the young man previous to the trial, atwhich all the facts will be brought tolight, we cannot but hope that those guil-

ty of the crime will receive the punish-ment they so richly deserve, and thatthose who arc innocent will be enabledto establish the fact, and thus impartialjustice bc vindicated.

Stanton. The following curioti? state- -

ment in regard to Stanton, appeared prom-inently in the editorial columns of the Na-

tional Intelligencer, of the 15th. It hasnot becu contradicted. It says:

,(Wc charge, then, without tho leastfear of contradiction, that Mr. Stantonwas opposed upon constitutional grounds,to the same tenure of office law which hehas evoked a a shield to justify him in

questioning the right of the President toremove or suspeud him from office. Mr.Stanton's views upon the subject weremarked by so much research, luminousne-- s

iu point of law and fact, and by so muchzeal and earnestness ol argumentation, thatto him was assigned the duty, amid thepressure of overwhelming routine duty up-

on the President at the very last hours ot

tho session (ho having at the same timeother measures to veto,) to reduce them tothat form of writing that in a large parteonitituted the substance of tho veto of tbeof the tenure of office bill. Wo state thefact to expose the duplicity and hypocrisyof Mr. Stanton."

ropccts of iv IlMlitcs Revival;For several years before the war the

people of the cotton and sugar States ofthe South, finding their greatest profits inthe cultivation of those products, gave tothat their entire industrial force, andlooked to the North for their provisions.The result of this practica was to furnishto the corn and wheat-growin- g States ofthe North, and particularly of the West,the best possible market fur their surplusof every dascription. The effect of thisupon the latter was a state of unexampledprosperity. The agricultural interest ex-

tended itself, opening new lands and ap-

plying new proecssc; and cities andtowns increased rapidly in wealth and pop-

ulation. Enterprise and industry every-where met their appropriate reward; andit was hard to tell to which of the two ?cc- -

tionthe arrangement was the most bene-ficial.

Ouc of the results of the new or'Jer ofthings introduced by the war is a convic-tion on the purt of the: people of the Souththat, whatever else they raise, they mastraise their own provisions: that so preca-rious is the condition of their industrialsystem that it will not do to neglect thecultivation of food upon the plan of pur-chasing the uccessaries of life with th5proceeds of that which they may uot suc-ceed ia bringing to a marketable perfec-tion. They find no natural impediment tothy growing of wheat and corn aud thofattening of pork anywhere; and whilethe accounts from the South in respect tothe cotton crop arc gloomy, there is a pros-pect of a good supply yf the staple articlesof provision.

What effect this change in the direction,of Southern industry will have upon thepeople of those Northern aud WesternStates whose surplus has heretofore founda market in the South, is a question whicha few years will decide. To an industrialpeople, the change of another industrialpeople from consumers to that of compet-itors, is one that can not, in general, boaccounted propitious. A people, in orderto bc prosperous, must not ouly producea surplus, but that surplus must find someother people fvr consumers, willing to paya profit upon its production.

We, the people of the North, have un-

doubtedly done several great things. Wehave been busily engaged iu vindicating,abolishing, suppressing aud restoring, andall that sort of thing; and have laid outsome money in political fine arts, returnsfrom which has not yet been received. AWhave put the American eagle upon a rer'permanent footing, aud have elevated ilai?Columbia into an institution. We are sup-posed to have made ourselves respected athome and feared abroad ) to have estab-lished the Union upon au indissoluble ba-

sis, and to have fixed several principles ina mat rcr very superior and satisfactory.In doing this we have had mankind for anadmiring audience indeed, vre have notbeen doing it so much for cur o"n sake aifor the sake of the spectators anil for theapproval of the performance have appeal-ed with confidence to the judgment of gen-erations yet unknown.

We suppose that the result of this,whichwill endure longest and come home to thepeople of the North au I West mot inti-mately, is the fact that we luve stoppedthe mouth often millious of the eaters ofthe surplus of our great staples of produc-tion stopped them permanently. Thosignificance of this fact may uot, at thismoment, be comprehended; but is one thatwill keep until there has becu abundanttime to learn it by experience.

There are those of our fellow-citizens,-w-ho

really believe that our present abuudaiit crop, with perhaps one or two morefruitful seasons, will enable us to pay offour public debt, to reduce our taxation toa mere tritle, to briug about a revival ofbusiness, and to reinstate everything upotithe eld basis of remunerative labor andgeneral prosperity. We conles.s that wecan not see it. We do not discover, sim-

ply in a redundant crop, the elements of arevival. Nothing i? "o valueless as a sur-plus of food without a consunn r ready topurchase at remunerative prices. Wedestroyed oar best customer. We havedone our utmost to alienate our only other.Wc can not produce whc;t and corn andpork at the same rates as formerly. Thecost of living, and every species of taxa-

tion, direct and indirect, enter into thecost of our staples of production. It isd mbtful whether, under any probable foreign demand, our leading aiiriealtural ar-ticles can be produced at prices which willalmitof exportation. The eastern market will absorb but a small portion of thewestern surplus, and wheat fr.nn Arknan- -

At j isas, Alabama, and alitor na. rani Dornapsfrom abroad, will meet wheat from Ohioand Indiana iu the eastern markets. Athome the consumer can not afford to payhigh prices, nor the producer alford to ac-

cept low ones. Therefore it is that we af-

firm that we do not see the elements ofthat revival of business which some are oprone to discover. CVt. Knq.

Tcsiiirssec S.aivs v. Xcsrocs,In Tennessee they have a law like that

in every other State, which requires tuento work a ccrtaiu time on tbe roads andhighways iu their districts. Some negroesin Shelby county in that State being callcd upon refused to work, and appealed tohe Freelt.'en'.s Rureau, which the white

people of the North maintain at vast expense to protect them. It act'ially did so,and declared that said negroes could notbe compelled to work the roads, exceptabout their own property. In noticingthis decision the Nashville L'nion savs :

"The law compels theiu to work theroads about their property and no further.Tennessee law requires all able bodied menin a roa 1 district to work on the roads.Djcs this new Frredmen's lJureau lawoverride Tennessee law? Are all blacksexempt from working on roads furtherthan their own properly ?" .

So the result is that the white hare towork the roads in Tennessee and the ne-

groes don't. They arc an exclusive andfavored class. They aro like the bondhold-ers, who use the public roads, which mustbe maintained and kept up at somebodyelse's expense.
