The Omron Republican State Con vention has indorsed the administra tlon of Grant and Colfax. Permission is given Democrats by 1 he liars to steal as much as they can get their hands on. Stealing will not be denounced by that paper if committal by Democrats. The people of this State have not been informed by The News that the greatest robberies ever perpetrated up on any people, were committed by the leaders of the New York Democracy. The New York World is endeavoring to prove that General . Grant is not .a Republican, but a Democrat. Very well : 'if he is a Republican enough for Republicans, and Democratic enough ! for Democrats, why not let us all vote -him, " irrespective of party ?" Our Republican friends can make the party exceedingly effective by extend ing the circulation of The Era. We hope to add one thousand namesuto our list during the session of theState Conven tion. Who will bring us the largest list? Now is the time to subscribe. A Liberal Republican is a" man who has always been a Democrat, or he is a Republican who is disappointed because he has been unable to get an office. He is a man who stands ready to sacrifice his principles whether Dem ocratic or Republican for place and pap. ' . . - There was collected the first fifteen months of General Grant's administra tion $67,000,000 more than was collected under the same laws in the last fifteen months of Johnson's administration such is the difference between Demo cratic promises and Republican per formances. Of t f This is an action brought by the Ku Klux party, under the assumed name of the Democratic party, against the loyal people of the'State, known as' the Republican party, for a partition of the administration of the government (of State, by which, the said Ku' Klux Klan, were recently so ingloriously routed before our Courts, and , at the ballot boxj hope, once again, to acquire place and position , to sow anew, the seeds of discord, anarchy "and terror, and put to flight, as on former , occas-.

On Thursday last, a very important bill passed the U S. Senate. All in ternal revenue taxes except those on spirit, malt liquor, tobacco, snuff, and cigais, are repealed. The duty on tea and coffee is abolished. These provi sions go into effect on the first day of July, 1872. The income tax already accrued, is repealed. It is calculated that this bill wilL reduce taxation $54, 000,000. There is great doubt as to the passage of the bill by th& House. How ever, it Is settled that taxation is to be V reduced about fifty millions by the present Congress. Organization. Delegates to the State Convention are informed that a well-digested, feasible plan for a thor ough organization or the liepu oilcan party, is one of the most important objects which' they will be called upon to deal with. Heretofore our or iranization has been too loose. We need a practical system of organization, such as will bring out the full Republi can vote. Perfect an organization of this kind, and the Republicans will carry the State ticket and both branch es of the Legislature, by a very largw majority.

We learn from Tlie New North State of the 28th, that startling developments were made last week at Rockingham Court. Several members of the White Brotherhood voluntarily came forward and made statements of the nefarious villainy they have been engaged in. It appeared that many plots had been considered and matured. Some .of these were carried out and some were not. Among other things, a conspiracy was entered into for the burning of Judge Settle's dwelling house. The conspira tors never had the hardihood to carry it into execution, but it was deliberately and agreed upon. It was also determined to assassinate Judge Tourgee.

The people of Richmond and Moore also, who sent a Democratic Sen ator in 1870, sent a thorough Republi can in 1871 as his successor.
