. i:iiri.i:u AMI MACVRAdll.
Tlie admirers of tho bitterly sarcatic vein
of mingled abuso and humor nfl'ected by
licnjainin V. Hutlcr are greatly disappointed
in his recoud letter to Mr. MacVengh,which
wo print elsewhere. Tho General has fallen
oil' sadly. There is humor and satire in his
opistlc, but ho is brutally personal, stupidly
abusive, and fails either to disprove the
ih.irgc of falsehood preferred by MacVeagh
or to make a point in any other form. Mac
veagh's letter, on tho contrary, is, liko his
first, brief but forcible, ending filly with his
dismissal of 15. F. from further consideration.
This ends the corrf spondence and llutler has
certainly, for once in his life, come out fcee
ond best, Tlio doughty warrior hardly
needed another pet name for public uso and
yet it is highly probable that MacVcagli's
allusion to liini ns"thc leper of our politics"
will bo frequently quoted, it is so new, so
cutting a phrase and so true I
CIVIL SF.ltVICE ItEFUliM. '
A drearier farco than that which.tho pres
ent Administration keeps on the slajo it
would be hard to imagine. It has long since
ceased to be amusing and is now simply dis
graceful. We refer to tho prctenco of Civil
.Service llefunn with which tlio authorities at
Washington think they delude the peoplo.
There is absolutely nothing in it. Men of
known lack of capability nio appointed to
lucrative and important positions,pureIy and
simply on tho ground of political services.
The worst of jobbers anil frauds aro retained.
The whisky ring is still in power ; tho old
l'ost-ollic ring still controls tho department;
the Washington ring yet exists and is at
work in its old lively style on a paving job.
A few removals are made here and there and
competitive examinations to fill tho vacancies
are held, and reports' thereof aro duly spread
abroad through tho medium of the press, as
evidences of the earnest desiro of Mr. Hayes
and his Cabinet officers to secure the good of
the public service. But only tho uninflueii
tial and therefore not particularly valuable
office holders aro dismissed, whilst tho wire
pulling plotters and politicians aro retained.
Noyes, of Ohio, gets tho French mission
for which he is about as well fitted as a
Sandwich Islander, Kasaon, of Iowa, a blat
ant demagogue who has been dropped by
his former constituents, goes to Spain that
unfortunate kingdom which has already
staggered under the weight of Dan Sickles
and old Gushing. Most of tho Returning
Board rascals havo been provided for. And
after all this tho people are called on to ad
mire the workings of the reform system.
John Sherman in tho Treasury Department
has descended to petter business than the rest
and no longer permits two members of tho
same family to work in tho amo bureau.
This without regard to the ability or ex
perience of those dismissed. Truly this is
reform run mad. Better a thousand times to
stop the fcilly f.irco and let the bargaining bo
dono in daylight.
THE CASE OF (lEOBOB W. FLETCIIEIt.
Georgs W. Fletcher was hanged in Phila
delphia, on JIonday,for tho murderof James
Hanley.and thero are some points connected
with his case which aro worth a moment's
attention. From an extended biography of
Fletcher published in tho Philadelphia
Timet, wo learn that from his earliest years
ho was cruel and depraved. As ho advanced
in lifo his character grew blacker ; ho was a
rough aud a rowdy by profession, a brawler,
a ballot box repeater, a companion of thieves.
Two ruined lives and two resulting deaths
can bo laid at his door and several murder
ous assaults preceded tho ono which resulted
fatally ;to Ilauley. His victim was killed
absolutely without causoj bimply for the
reason that he thought ho had been talking
about him. Watching an opportunity he
entered into friendly converse with Hanloy
and, while his arm was around hi neck,
shot him through tho heart. Thero seems
to have been no redeeming fact In this cold
blooded, brutal, cowardly murder or in the
life that led up to It. Fletcher was not only
u rough, but a political rough and, there-
lore, being a curse to tlio community in
which" he lived, the most strenuous efforts
were made to nave his life. Tho case final
ly reached the Board of Pardons, all other
tribunals having failed him, and if report be
true, the Board was equally divided on tlio
question of commutation of sentence. This
Is what seems a marvel. On what principle
of reasoning could tho Board have been
brought to look leniently on Fletcher?
Certainly there could not have been u more
flagrant case. Fletcher was not only a mur
derer but had been a bad man since boy
hood. If-tha law can bo set aside in such a
caso as that, one of two things should be
abolished cither tho law or the pardoning
power. Curiously enough, on tho day fol
lowing the execution, one of the paid Fire
Department, of which Fletcher was also a
member, was murdered by his companions
ilia drunken row, bo much forthe rcpres
slvo Influence ot execution.
What superlative nonsense it Is to assume
that the Republican parly hm changed Its
character. By tho Republican party, we
mean the remnant ot It, headed by Blaine,
Morton, Butler dfc Co.,aud supported by such
journals as the Iew iork Timet, The cloY'
en hoof and the caudal appendage of the
Old tsatan Is just as plainly visible as ever,

lfevrrcnd and Major Gtnerat James A.
Garfield, of Ohio, if report docs not slate
f.iloly, was at one tlnm in his valuable life
a pirnchernnd graduated from thai honora
ble profession Into Congrrm. It might li-a-sonably
have lxon expected that familiarity
with tlio Scriptures would hao arotned In
him a determination to adhcro to their teach
ings. At the timoof tho exposure (if tlio
Credit Moblller scandal, Brother Garfield de
nied under oath that ho had been In any
manner implicated in that fraud. Thcso aro
his words :
"I never owned, received, or agreed to ro
celvo any Block of tho Credit Mouillcr or of
tho Union 1'nclfic llallroad, nor any divi
dends or profits arising from cithcrof them."
Nevertheless, when Mr. Poland's commit
tee Investigated tlio matter, it reported
among other thing,
"He, Garfield, agreed with Mr. Ames to
take ten shares of Credit Mnhilier stock, hut
did not pay fur the same Mr. Ames receiv
ed I lie .Ml per celil. dividend In bonds, and
sold them fur !7 per cent., and also lecelved
11'pCOper cent, cash dividend, which, to
gether, paid tho price of the stock and inter
est, and lelt a balance of ?3J. This sum
win paid over to Mr. Garfield by n check on
the sergeant-at-arms, and Mr. Garfield then
understood this sum fas the balance of divi
dends alter paying for the stock."
This was not lying, merely, but flat perju
ry, nnd knowing this tho country was not
disposed to accept as true Garfield's vigorous
denial that ho had received a letter from
Mr. Hayes asking him to retiro from the
Senatorial fight and ho would bo aided to
gain tho Speakership. Nor was there much
surprise when several rcputablo journalists
stepped forward aud stated that there was
such a letter nnd that they had seen it. To
wards tho close of tho last session of Con
gress a resolution looking to tho expulsion
of this Garfield was on tho eve of presenta
tion to the House, but for somo reason it
was withheld. It will bo very much to the
credit of tho IIouso and a relief to the pub
lic if that resolution is promptly brought
?orward at the meeting of Congress in Octo
ber and adopted. The peoplo have had
about enough of Garfield and ho should go
back at onco to preaching, and if lie can
find time for practicing what he preaches.
Honest Mr. Hayes.
Wo havo been constantly assured of tho
honesty of Mr. Hayes : whatever doubt thero
might bo of his ability thero could bo
none of his strict integrity. Indeed he was
held up as a man of uncommon scruples
and conscientiousness. He was not only
one who, if in Ids' childhood he had cut down
a cherry tree, would have told of it like lit
tle George ; he would have done better, he
would not have cut down tho cherry tree at
all. And as he was when a boy, such he
had grown up.
Now, how lias Mr. Hayes shown his hon
esty since ho entered upon the office of Pres
ident? Ho himself admits that ho induced
Gen. Garfield to withdraw for the Ohio Sen
atorship by encouraging, his hopes of being
made Speaker of tho United States House
of Representatives. What manner of man
Gen. Garfield is, has been established by a
Congressional investigation into his connec
tion with the Credit Mobilier, The official
report of tho committee convicted him of
corruption and false swearing.
Such is the candidate of this Honest Mr.
Hayes for Speaker of the United States
House of Representatives. AT. '. Sun.
Death of Fletcher Harper.
Fletcher Harper, tho last of the original
four brothers who founded tho great pub
lishing house which bears their uamo, died
in New York on tho 29th ultimo, of gastric
fever, in tho seventy-second year of his ago.
Tho New York Herald says :
"He and bis brothers were in many re
spects remarkable men. They belonged to
the best and highest class of American mer
chants; for they were men of culture, of
broad ideas, of a strict and high sense of
honor, and public spirited and useful citi
zens. Mr. Fletcher Harper was, perhars
the ablest of the four brothers. Ho possessed
natural powers which would havo made him
man ol great mart in any calling, ms
uidintr hand was for many years supreme

lishing house ho being ono of tho heads.
It was no secret that he was tho real editor.
the controlling mind of tho Harper periodi
cals; that he framed the policy and sugges
ted the characteristic features of theso jour
nals, whose influence has been so great in
the country. Fletcher Harper was not only
remarkably aulo but a good man ; ono who
n the midst of great and long continued
ro-iieritv, remained simple in his lite, kind-
y in his manners, careful of the welfare of
those ho employed, unostentatiously charit

The Bradford Jlepublican is printing some
interesting statistics on the subject of office
holding in that county. Wo learn not only
that Mr. Goodrich has just begun his third
term as Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia
but that his partner in tho office of tlio Brad
ford Reporter, Mr. Alvord, has been post
master for sixteen years, aud has just been
ppointcd for four more. These two offices
alone give tho editorial pair the snug sum of
one hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
besides ten thousand dollars paid their pa
per for government advertising. Mr. Good
rich also received thirty thousaud dollars
during a six years' service as prothonotary.
This illustrious patriot has somo brothers
pretty well situated also. One is deputy lu
the Surveyor's office in this city at a salary
f twenty-fivo hundred dollars a year, and
another is a clerk in tho office of tho Assist

1 dictated to my phonographic recrelary n
loiter lo .Marshal l'itkiu, In icpty to ono in
forming mo that his rci-iguation had been do
minded by tho Exccutivc.iiiul to that demand
ho had refused to accede, and i-cnt it, mark
ing it personal, so that I am in no way re
sponsible lor its getting into print
Tho facts that aro recited therein wcro stat.
cd specially to bo from information which 1
had received from credible source Of coiirto
I could know nothing of tlio occurrences per
sonally, nnd of courso did not tindoitako to
give them either publication or a personal
endorsement; pave that I believed tlieui.
If you had addressed mo even a piintcil
letter, couched in the ordinarily courteous
lam;unira which passes between gcnlleineii,
especially when tho mm who uses it, it is ru
mored, is expecting employment in tho diplo
matic service of his country, t should havo
very promptly, upon being set right, liuulo
reparation so far as in my power for any inju
ry arising from a publication eveu for which
1 was not lcsponsible.
I never thought of charging you with using
yoitr own money, of which yon dcclaro you
"had nono to spare," in paying tho mileage
of tho deserting legislators of tho 1'nckaid
Hou.-e. You will observe, reading my letter
moro caicfully, that I did not even allege that
"it was assented" that any money was paid ;
my pliraso being, "it is asserted that two
thousand dollars was to bo paid to tho loading
deserting legislators, and only two hundred
dollars to othois, disguised iu tho latter case
in the shapo of mileage, so that Mr. Johnson,
a colored man, speaking out of tho innocence
of his heart, said, on the floor of tho House,
that all ho wanted was to get his mileage and
go home."
Now, how any person could find in such a
statement an assertion that lie paid any mon
ey, passes my comprehension. I expressly
say that poor Johnson declared that"hotcawr'
ed to get his money and go homo," not that
ho had got it. It never occurred to mo that
any money was paid, only promised ; or that
the legislators got their money for deserting
any moro than Wharton lias got his ofiico for
not "managing any business." On tho con
trary, I was told that, although the money
was promised as a bribe for tho desertion, tho
poor fellows did not get it, but wcio required
further to vote for Mr. Spofibrd as Senator
before they could get oven what was duo
them. Now, 1 do not know this fact, but
hope and believe tho Scnato will ascertain it
on investigation in the contest for the Sena
tor's seat. I would suggest to the Senate
Committee to ask certain members of the
Packard Legislature, whoso names I will
give, whether, alter all efforts to demoralize
tho Republican members and get them to go
oerto Nicholls by tho Commission acting
together failed, a selected portion of that
Legislature were requested by Col. Wharton,
a friend of Packard, to meet Wayne Mac
Veagh, and did so. Whether he addressed
them, saying that the President would not
recognize tho Packard Government ; that the
troops would bo withdrawn tho next day ;
that he had a telegram to that effect; that if
they would go over to the Nicholls' Legisla
ture they would be recognized, nnd seated,
a ldlgct their mileage, but if they did not do so
within twenty-four hours their seats would be
declared vacant, and they would lose all. If
tlio Committee push their inquiry, I firmly
iclieve upon evidence they will find what I
havo suggested to be substantially true. Now
do not deny the words of this. I see you aro
fond of denying "words."-
I read iu your letter that you say Wharton
"did not manage or transact any kind of busi
ness lor me. ucrtaiuiy not. mess your
soul I you do not call such tricks as these busi
ness, do you? They are not business, even
if you should get that foreign mission for do
ing them, which I hope you will.
You further say, "Wharton is a friend of
Packard." All tho better instrument, there
fore to get-Packard's friends away iiom him.
It was well done, and does credit to your
training.
iou say further: "Strange as it may ap
pear to some of them, political results are
still attainable in this country by straightfor
ward and honest methods." True ; it did
seem strange to mo, for in moro than thirty
years' cxperieuco in the ways of Pennsylvania
political "methods" and politicians in both
parties, it did seem strange if this transaction
was cither "straightforward or "honest,
You made a good point on mo there.
I frankly confess I had no evidence then,
and have none now, that you paid auy money
to these deluded men after it had been prom
iscd them. I desire, iu the most solemn man
ner, to acquit you of having ever paid away
any money. 1 know, as you say iu your let
ter, that you had "nono to spare," aud 1 be
lieved, if you had, you would not "spaio" it.
I trust and hope the event which you hopo
will give you command of a large sum of mon
ey is in tho far distance.
I agree iuor-t fully that where you aro known
you "do not need to deny any silly story
about the use of money in paying anything
and if I had ever asserted that you ever did
uso your own money for any good or even po
litical purpose, I should have been guilty, as
you, in your own chasto language, say, of a
'bae and cowardly fulsohood. ' Therefore,
I repeat again, I never havo known or heard
of your paying anything to anybody, and as
at pre-cnt advised) without nioio evidence
than I havo now, I never will assert such
thing possible. You need not inako me ex-
cusos, us you do, for "not having money of
your own to spare. I havo kuown many
men without money, but I havo never known
oac without an excuse for not having it,
As you state your excuse, "it is only a mil
itary commandant of New Oileans. in time of
war, who can safely appropriate any consider
able quantity of tho property of others to
own uso.
Do I understand you correctly that it is tho
waut of ability to do it "safely" that has pic
vented you from "appropriating a considera
ble quantity of the property of others to your
own uso r
However, I shall not affect to misunder
stand the allusion which you thus make, but
pardon it to tho apparent loss of your tern
per, which makes your writing at once un
just, illogical, and unperspicuous. If you
believed, what you aro bravo enough only to
iusiuuate bccause,aUhough you were young
and able-bodied, I fall to recall tho number
of the regiment in which you served in th
war fur your country s safety certaiuly you
could not, as managing member of the State
Republican Committee of Pennsylvania,
have invited, with presslug letters, which 1
now have, ono who had appropriated wrong,
fully other people's property to come to that
State, lo speak on tho same platform with
ysurself, traveling together many miles to
attend meetings to instruct your people on
public affairs.
Besides, my dear Mr. MacVeagh, tho In
sinuation was unworthy of you. It Is net
ther novel nor useful, and therefore not pat
entable. A half dozen dirty newspapers
have been enabled to preserve themsolves
from bankruptcy for the last dozen years by
printing the assertions about me which you
only insinuate.
r.vcry ono has his own tasto iu choosing
Is way to acquire money,bul If I was oblig
ed to choose ono ot two ways, cither to "ap-
roprlalolt as inllltnry commandant," or tn
marry into a family where I was neither
anted nor by which I should bo respected,
to gel "money to spare," I certainly should
choose Iho former, strange as you may think
, becauso at least I should have tho money
after having committed a disreputable net to
get it, nnd not bo liable to bo disappointed,
as I might be, after 1 had waited long for
dead men s shoes," by tho other method.
Thero is another denial of yours of an as
sertion that I did not make! "I have not
asked tho President to appoint him (Whar
ton) Marshal." I never intimated that you
ad dono so, I had always supposed that
ou had never asked President Hayes for tho
appointment of anybody except yourself,
and my knowledgo of that Idiosyncrasy of
ours would havo prevented mo from nsscrt-
ng that you had asked for the appointment
f Wharton. Certain it Is that Gov. Pack
ard has not. Who, do you think, is so press-
ng Col. Jack Wharton, ol tho Confederate
army, that Pitkin, tlio Republican and good
officer, is called upon by a Republican Ad
ministration to resign his ollice to make way
for tho rebel ? What service has Wharton
a bravo man, It Is true) ever done for tho
party or the country to cam high office, ex-
:ept to help kill somo of our gallant soldiers,
lioso lowly graves we wcro decorating the
ay I got your kind note.
Let me advise you, my dear sir, not lo loso
our temper in discussing political matters.
If you do you will prove yourself unfit to bo
employed to manage diplomatic affairs even
near tho smallest court in Kurope, say of
Monaco, where they havo a standing army
f sixty-tlireo men only, so that you need
not bo afraid to go there because of any dan
ger of war. I should bo grieved if you do
anything which would by any possibility
lessen tho chance that you will leave, very
soon, tlio country, to bo away at least four
ears.
For tho rest, as to tho disputed questions
f fact relating to what was said aud done
by tho commission, of which you were i
member, when in New Orleans, we will re
new the discussion allcr a committee of Con
gress, of which it may bo my ill-fortuno to
be a member, has m ado a full investigation.
hen, aud not till then, if you please, wo
will renew our correspondence, unless, in
deed, you should like to practice upon m o
to educate yourself to formulate diplomatic
notes.
I must apologize to you for tlio seeming
elay between the date of this note and your
reception of it. I began tho reply as soon
as I was favored with yours, but as I reserve
matters of this sort for recreation, I could
not finish it sooner, as I havo been very hard
ressed with professional engagements. Pray
hold mo excused.

I fear you have overworked your invectivo
faculties, for your long and labored letter of
to-day shows signs of failing powers, and
will go far to destroy that reputation for ef
fective scurrility which you have so sedu
ously fostered. The issue between you and
me was of your own seeking, ud is so plain
that you cannot obscure it by any amount
of misrepresentation, however irielevant or
ulgar. You deliberately wrote and pub
ished concerning mo four sheer falsehoods,
without a particle of foundation for any ono
f them. Thereupon I promptly put you
on tho national pillory, with a very legible
tatemeut of your offence on your forehead
As you havo endured your punishment for
an entire week, and now virtually confess
that every statement made by you was un
true, I have no objection to your getting
down ; but you must not supposo that I
placed you thero in resentment ouly. My
chief purpose was to exhibit you as a warn
iug to younger men, by showing them that
n spite of great ability and energy, you had
become tho leper of our politics, by reason
of tho general conviction that you habitual
ly disregard tho eighth and ninth command
ments. That purposo has been fully answer
ed by tho comments of the country upon
your character, and I have no further inter
est in the matter. I shall not eveu take tho
trouble to deny any new falsehoods you may
think it to your advantage to invent about
me, for those who know mo will not believe
anything you say against me, and those who
know you, of course, will not believe any
thing you say against anybody.

punity. They do not arrest their own pro
gress. I hey can never lio limited except by
external forces. If Iho men in possession of
the government can In one Instance main
tain themselves in power against an adverse
decision nl the elections such an example
will bo imitated. Temptation exists nlways.
Dovices to givo tho color of law and falso
pretences on which to found fraudulent de
cisions will not be wanting. The wrong will
grow into practice if one-o condoned. In tlio
world s history changes in the succession of
governments havo usually been tho result of
fraud or force. It has been our faith and
our prido that wo had established a modo of
peaceful chaugo to bo worked out by tho
agency of tho ballot box.
Tho question now is whether our elective
system in its substance as well as its form
is to bo maintained. This is the question
of questions. Until it is finally settled there
can bo no polities founded on inferior qucs
lions of administrative policy. It involves
the whole system of popular government
Tho peoplo must signally condemn the
great wrong which has been done to them.
They must strip this oxamplo of everything
that can attract imitations, lhcy must re
fuse a prosperous immunity to crime. This
is not all. Tho peoplo will not bo ablo to
trust tho authors or beneficiaries of tho
wrong to devise tho remedies. But when
those who condemn tho wrong shall havo tho
power they mnst deviso tho measures winch
shall render a repetition of the wrong forever
impossible
If my voice could reach throughout our
country and be heard in its remotest hamlet,
I would say, "Bo of jjood cheer ; the repub
lic will live." Tho institutions of our fath
ers aro not to expire in shame. The sov
ereignty of the people shall bo rescued from
this peril and re-established. Successful
wrong never appears so triumphant as on
the very eve of its fall. Seven years ago a
corrupt dynasty culminated in its power over
tho million of people who live in New York
city. It had conquered, or bribed, or flatter
ed and won almost everything into acquies
cence, it appeared lo be invincible. A
year or two later its members wero in tho
penitentiary or in exile.
History abounds in similar examples. Wo
must believe in right, aud in future a great
and noblo nation will not sever its political
from its moral life.
Mr. Hendricks having returned thanks for
the honor done him, alluded to the presiden
tial election and said tho result as declared
in Louisiana and Florida and at Washing
ton is not, and cannot bo made satisfactory
to tho country for obvious reasons; that it
was not truo ; a great and sincero peoplo will
rest their final judgment only upon truth
and never upon fraud, successful througl
technicality. Kven should the President
and his cabinet adopt a part or tho wholo o:
tho policies and purposes for which tho dem
ocratic party has been contending for many
years and which became so distinctly define
last year, even that cannot remove or quiet
the public discontent. Tho democrats will
mako no factious opposition nor will they
seek to embarrass the de facto administration
but will sustain it in what is right becauso
it is right, and for tho welfare of the country,
and not at all because of any fealty to aparty
that stands defeated and condemned by the
people. The people cannot allow the selec
tion of their chief magistrate to become
thing of chance or of Bharp practices. Tho
fraud first triumphant iu American history
must be assigned to its proper place among
tho crimes against popular government and
made so odious that no party will dare to at
tempt its repetition. He who is elected
President must bo inaugurated. Until that
is settled and made sure no democrat can be
seduced from his devotion and allegiance i
anyway not by the allurements of office,
nor even by tho strong appeal in tho aband
onment by the administration of vicious
principles and dangerous policies and the
adoption of better doctrines and just measures.
Democrats will not entrust their most cher
ished principles lo tho keeping of power
which is attained by vicious and corrupt
means. They ".'ill rather continue their
faith in the right of tho majority to rulo in ac
cordance with constitutional provisions. All
democrats rejoice with unbounded joy that
free republican governments aro onco more
allowed to the states of South Carolina and
Louisiana, They lcjoico in tho good fruits
that must follow. They know that peace
aud good order will prevail; that capital will
be made secure and labor safc,contented and
happy ; that enterprise will revive and tho
cruel burdens of the government and public
corruption will bo lifted from the shoulders
of labor and that production will increaso
and lands advance in price. But they know,
iu the language of Governor Morton, it had
becomo inevitable. Good government in the
states was not a free offering upon tho altars
of the country. For years tho democrats had
contended in congress and before tho people
for freo republican states throughout the
south and finally it became inevitable, be
causo tho right and truth were too strong to
bo longer suppressed. In this democrats
find a reason to stand more firmly with their
party. Out of power, with no patronage to
dispense and no money to distribute,but ani
mated by a spirit of our institutions and in
spired by tho sentiment of tho rights of lo
cal self-government as inherent in tho peo
ple, tho democratic party during tho past ten
years has restored one state after another un
til now the tread of tho soldier is heard in no
legislative hall, but in every state the peo
ple are governed by laws of their own mak
ing and by officers of their own choosing.
Mr. Hendricks concluded with tho declara
tion that this occasion had moro than a per
sonal significance. It proclaimed that wo
had no sectional sentiment ; no eastern or
western policies. Tho east aud west aud
south were one; a wise and just policy
would alike promote tho prosperity of
each.
On Tuesday afternoon, whilo Paymaster
Blssel and his assistant, Captain Curling, of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad, wero going In a buggy, with $12,
000, to pay the miners at the Brisblu col
liery, lu the outskirts of Serantou, they wero
attacked by two masked robbem a short dis
tance from the mine. The robbers drew re
volvers and fired, slightly wounding Captain
Curling. Mr. Blssel returned the fire, aud
tho robbers fled to the woods. A reward of
M ia offered for their arrest.
The Truth Aliotit (Irani.
Tho reception that Furopcau snobs nnd
fools may extend to Grant is not a matter
bunt which Americans possessed of n llilin
lefill of bi.ilns need i-aro a batiben, and It is
uly when llunkey Journalism on this s-ldo
I' tlio water attempts to mako it appear that
tho recipient of aristocratic nnd royal favor
merits the distinction, and that it gives tho
titled fools who bestow it a warmer placo in
the regards of Americans, that the subject is
entitled to any consideration whatovcr. Tho
send oil that Grant received at Phlladel-
ihla was in no senso a tribute of respect to
ilm as a man, a soldier, or as cx-Presldcnt,
Tho nffalr was deliberately gotten up by tho
Don C.unerous of Pennsylvania as an insult
to Hayes. It was Intended to say, "Wo pre
fer Grant, tho despot, tho sot, tlio bribe-taker,
tho associato of thieves and tho debauch
eo of Iho Government, to a Presidential
fraud who accepted power from crimo-st.iln-
ed hands and had not theconrago to stand by
Grant's bayonet policy." Tho ovation to
Grant had this significance and none other.
The papers that weru tho most bitter in their
lostllity to -trant who charged him with
the design of maklnghlmself dictator, with
all tho collateral crimes necessary to such a
coup d' etalato now overflowing with gush
about his reception by tho snobs and flunk-
cs of Lngland. All of this is unfortunate
for Grant, however much ho may desire to
bo regarded as an "ex-sovereign ;" for it
makes It necessary for reputable journals to
go back a little in tho history of Grant and
show him up lu his truo light.
No ono is disposed to disparage Grant's
military record, though it is too early to
write it. It may grow dim or brilliant in
tho light of advancing years, a matter about
which there may bo a diversity of opinions ;
nit one tiling is certain his administration
President is black with tho record of
crimes. It was conspicuously an era of fraud,
peculation, stealing outright, of rottenness
everywhere, and with everything with whicl
tho Government was directly or remotely
connected. It was an era of nepotism, of
gnoranco,of imbeciHty, and of bribe-taking.
It was an era of utter disregard of constitu
tions, of law, and of tho rights ot the people.
It was an era of military despotism, in which
tho crime-begrimed miscreants wero main
tained in power by bayonets.
It is quite likely that a full knowledgo of
these things will givo Grant casto in the ar
istocratic circles of Kurope, and that the
spawns of rotten dynasties may fawn about
a man whoso uativo instincts, strengthened
by close proximity to slaughter houses and
the insufferable stench of raw hides, quali
fied him for work which earned the
disgust and loathing of tho decent part of
the Radical party, thousands and tens of
thousands of whom abandoned him, and for
which tho wholo country condemned him.
In addition to this wo havo the declara
tion from the highest authority that it was
only because his term of office had so nearly
expired that he escaped impeachment. It
were better to let such men get into obscuri
ty as soon as possible, or at least cease para
ding them before the public as objects of
special regard. This; however, tho New
York Tribune, an organ of flunkeyism, is not
disposed to do, and among other foolish
things in noticing Grant's reception in Kng-
land, it says:
Tho judgment of strangers resembles
somewhat tho judgment of posterity. As ho
is now regarded in Luropeau countries, so,
doubtloss,lio will stand iu history, when the
bitterness and tho littleness of partisan
strife have passed away, and his real services
to his country and his real character are
better understood.
It matters precious little what the judg
ment of strangers may be, or, for that mat
ter what may bo tho verdict of posterity.
The living prcseut knows that Grant con
sorted with thieves ; that lie was the defend
cr aud supporter of conspirators ; that ho
girdled tho Louisiana Returning Board
scoundrels with bayonets, while the perjur
ed crew was plotting frauds witli which to
royerse tho will of the American peoplo,
Tlio Atlantic ocean, wero its waters soapsuds,
could not in a thousand centuries wash out
the stains from Grant's record. His friends
Bhould let him rest and rust. "
