FOItSEY AND THE ‘NEW UFHAIt
TUBS."
Forney of the 2VeM*appears hysteri
cal over what lie calls the “new depar
ture” of the Democrats. He thinks that
inasmuch ns we opposed negro suffrage,
we should oppose the Constitution re
cognizing it- He is exceedingly anxious
that we should remain “consistent.”
Without attempting a reply in defense
of the position the Democrats occupy,
we may say to Mr. Forney that he, of
ail other men, should be the last to talk
about a want of consistency in’ others.
Who. has been so conspicuously incon
sistent as Forney ? Why, he is worse
than Bennett, of the New York Herald.
But a few years ago he was the most
embittered foe the Abolitionists had in
this country, and .at the same time the
most servile friend of Southern ideas
and Southern men. Now he is a leader
In the Eadieal or Abolition party,
and the reviler of the men he formerly
eulogised. During the Bitner admin
istration, he denounced Thad. Stevens
aaa traitor, and demanded his expulsion
from the State, but for many years pre
vious to Mr. Stevens’ death, Forney was
his most obsequious defender, and spoke
of him in language ntonee fulsome and
sickening. His course toward Cameron
was precisely similar. But*?! few years
ago Forney considered Cameron as the
mostcorrupt man in our country. Now,
Cameron, in Forney’s eyes, is a saint
and “statesman.” About the same time
he was the fast friend of Mr. Buchanan,
blit the last years of the eventful life of
the upright statesman were embittered
by Forney’s incessant and wicked slan
ders.
it requires a good deal of cool impu
dence, then, for Forney to prate about
the “ now departure,” “ consistency,"
Ac. A man whose political views are so
notoriously unstable,should not attempt
to twit others about their consistency.
Forney’s, principles are ns changeable
as are the colors of the chameleon, and
'the number of “new he has
' espoused it is impossible to cothpute.
If radical taxation is not unequal and
oppressive, why is it that the rich be
come richer while the poor and middle
classes become poorer?
THE EI.EGTIONN OP 1871
Tho State elections to come off this
year, with two or three exceptions, are
of a purely local character, and yet they
will he largely affected by the influence
ot national politics. California and Il
linois are the only States which elect
Congressmen, the latter to fill the va
cancy caused by the election of General
Logan to tho United States Senate,
The first election which comes off will
be in Kentucky, on the first Monday in
August. A full State ticket is to be
chosen, and despite the fact that the
negroes vote for the first time there is
no probability that the immense Demo
cratic majority of the’ last year can bo
overcome. With the liberal and pro
gressive platform adopted by our party
friends, it is expected that they will
fully maintain themselves.
California will come next. Her elec
tion takes place on the first Tuesday,
in September. The Democratic State
Convention was held on the 20th June.
A lull State ticket and three ra'embors
of Congress are to beelected. Governor
Haight is a candidate for re-election,
.ami.:.tliei.e,.,is uo„doubt,.of.Jus-success..
Mr. Booth will probably be selected-by
the Republicans to run against him. ‘
Maine will also elect a Governor and
State officers in September. Our party
friends have nominated C. R. Kimball
for Governor, and the Republicans have
nominated Governor Perham, and the
contest promises to be a lively one.
In Ohio, the gallant McCook is tlit)
Democratic candidate for Governor. —
Noyes-is-the Republican candidate. A
United States Senator is to be chosen by
the Legislature to beelected. The con
test in Ohio will be close and spirited,
but we believe, this year, the Democrats
will win. Their success would prevent
the return of that old blasphemer, Ben
Wade, to the United States Senate.
lowa elects a Governor and State of
ficers in October. A strong ticket has
been put in. nomination by the Demo
crats, on a progressive platform. The
State is strongly Republican.
Minnesota elects State officers in Oc
tober, butno nominations have yet been
made, and very little preparation for
the canvass.'
In Pennsylvania, we elect in October
an Auditor General and Surveyor Ge
neral. Both tickets are in the field, and
it is unnecessary to say the Democrats
not only deserve success but that they
will command it.
In New Jersey a Governor is to be
chosen, and almost every prominent
citizen in the State has been named as
a candidate on one side or the other.
Massachusetts closes the list, and is to
elect a Governor. It is said that Gen.
B. F. Butler is seeking the Republican
nomination, and no doubt he will be
gratified in bis aspirations.
' The newspaper organs of the sham-
Republiean party make loud boasts of
the monthly payment of thopublic debt.
•It is truethat each month the Secretary
o t the Treasury does redeem a certain
amount of government bonds. But
these bonds are not destroyed or canceled.
They are filed away in the treasury and
may be re-issued at any time. It must
be remembered,' too, that while the
bonded debt is apparently decreasing,
the floating debt is increasing, so that at
the end of the year there is in reality no
reduction. Nor is it generally under
stood how dearly the people pay to en
able Secretary Boutwoll to issue his
monthly bulletins setting forth that
such and such amounts have been paid
on the public debt. In order that the
army of internal revenue officers may
be kept up, the internal taxes have been
continued and large surplus funds have
been gathered into the treasury. Hav
ing thus overtaxed the people, the gov
ernment employs its funds in buying up
its own paper at a premium. Twenty
millions in gold have been wastedin this
manner in order to enable the adminis
tration to glorify over what the Secre
tary of the Treasury styles payment of
the public debt. This is paying rather
dear for the whistle.— Harris'g, Patriot.
The old proscriptive spirit of Know
Nothingism still lives in the hearts of
the Republican leaders. The Gettysburg,
Compiler says: ‘ 1 It can be seen cropping
out on all occasions whenever an oppor
tunity occurs for making an appeal to
religious prejudice, or to that unreason
ing hatred of foreigners which is enter
tained by many unreasoning people.
There is abundant evidence going to
show that the recent troubles in New
York were largely due to the malicious
machinations of Radical politicians.—
The Orangemen would, no don lit, have
yielded to wiser councils and have aban
doned the menacing parade,-if a set of
designing political tricksters had not
urged them to persist in making their
display. The truth will yet, be made
abundantly apparent to an honest and
discerning public.”
The Omaha Herald says that Senator
Tipton openly declared, when in that
city a few days since, that if Gen. Grant
was nominated for the Presidency, he
would take the stump for Mr. Hend
ricks, in case the latter should be putin
nomination by the Democratic party.
He further declared that, if the State
Convention of his party should select a
delegation to the National Convention
favorable to the nomination of Grant,
he would stump the State against him
before he was nominated.
|6yVice President Colfax once more
assures the country that he does not
intend to be a candidate for political
honors again, hut will retire to private
life at the end of his present term.—
Schuyler has been doing a large politi
cal business on a small capital, and it
will be a relief to the public to know
that he is now done “ retiring”—and
that that “ harp of a thousand strings”
will subside.
JJ6T“ Republicanism in the United
States is the symbol of economy, public
faith, and civilization,” boasts a con
temporary. It is all symbol, then, and
no substance, for the party in power is
wasteful, corrupt and extravagant; it
repudiates public faith whenever such
a course is necessary, and its civilization
is false as its principles are antagonistic
to a free, pure, American form of gov
ernment.
If the financial policy of Mr. Grant’s
administration is correct and sound,
why is it that the government buys up
its own paper at a premium ? Why is
it that in the purchase of bonds twenty
milliont in gold more than the face of
the bonds call for have been paid to
those from whom the bonds have been
purchased f
RESIGNATION .OF GEN. PARKER.
Gen. Parker, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, has resigned. The ostensible
reason of this resignation is, as he says,
“tho unwarrantable Interference of Con
gress with the functions of his office.”
He would not be a mere supernumerary
—he could not hold any longer an am
biguous position ! We don’t think his
position was at all ambiguous when he
allowed Blunt to steal $120,000 from the
Indians under his charge. But there is
another point of ambiguity we should
like explained, and that is, how much
of that money, Parker got, and how
much he has made since lie has held his
present position ?
The pream of the joke, however, lies
in the endorsement of the President.
“ThelndiUn Bureau,” says Grant, “has
been in entire harmony with my poli
cy, ".which of course includes the ope
rations of Blunt, tnyeetlahd & C0.,-in'
connection with the Bureau. With the
full knowledge'of the fact that Parker
was a drunken sot; that his marriage
could not be consummated at the .ap
pointed time because of his inebriation,
-and-that he.(Parker.) since-hia appoint
rnent has been carried home drunk from
a public.garden in, Washington City, the
man who is now and would be again
President indorses his ability and in
tegrity to all with whom he may come
in contact.
Tho intense sensibility, of the Com
missioner is only equalled by the great
obtuseness of the President. The policy.
which divested the “Indian Bureau of
all its original importance,” is, aui gene
ris, the policy claimed by the President.
But the next query is. Who will accept
an office cast off by a drunken Indian,
because it has lost importance and re
sponsibility ? Some one will have to get
down very low, else the President will
have an office to let permanently. How
ever, we presume the family stock is
not wholly exhausted, and he may find
some, distant relative improvised, who
will, out of charity, relieve him from
the dilemma.
It is stated by those who have ex
amined into the matter, that Columbus
Delano has been in Washington since
he was appointed Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue and Secretary of the
Interior only One day in five of the
whole time. Since entering the Cabinet,
he has been absent more than half the
time. And yet he has coolly drawn his
salary for every hour, as if on actual
duty, and, like the President, put it out
at round rates of interest besides. Mr.
Cameron, Mr. Delano, Gen. Porter, of
the President’s household, and other
members of the Bing, have been en
gaged in a railroad speculation down in
Georgia, with Bullock, Blodgett & Co.,
which serves to explain the Secretary’s,
absence. Meanwhile, the business of
the Interior Department is sadly in ar
rears, and in a state of great confusion.
Paris. —Sixty thousand laborers, the
cable reports, are at work on the ruins
of Paris, repairing damages. This im
mense army of workmen will doubtless
soon restore the city to something like
its former" condition* but the public
buildings destroyed by the Commune it
will take years to replace. The hire of
such a large force will be expensive to
the Versailles Government, but the
restless spirits wilt be quieted with this
employment and have less time and op
portunity for fomenting discord and
inaugurating riot's.
The French Elections.— The sup
plementary elections which were held
in France on Sunday the 3d instant, to
fill some 117 vacancies in the Assembly,
have resulted favorably to the adminis
tration. It is claimed that of 114 heard
from, 80 or 90 moderate Republican
deputies are elected. The Monarchists
seem to have been beaten at nearly all
points. So the Republic seems to have
to the extent of the election a fresh en
dorsement from the people, and a fair
start on its peace probation.
J@-Assistnnt Assessors of Revenue in
different parts of the country are still
being dismissed, under the governmen
tal policy of retrenchment. If the gov
ernment is reafly anxious to retrench,
it should also dismiss a goodly number
of Revenue Collectors. Many of these
“loyal pets” owe large sums to the gov
ernment, in other words, they are de
faulters, and the sooner they are turned
out of office the better.
J@“Gen. Richard Coulter, “Fighting
Dick,” has been chosen Chairman of the
Democratic Committee of the county of
Westmoreland. This means work, and
£farry White may make up his mind
to a harder contest than he has ever
been engaged in. General Coulter will
prosecute the political campaign against
the Radical trickster with all the vigor
and energy which he used to display in
the field.
If .everything is lovely in the Radical
camp, why is it that Horace Greeley
denounces the carpet-baggers; that
Senator Trumbull declaims against the
centralization of the government; that
Carl Schurz demands a return to con
stitutional government, and that Mr,
Sumner quarrels with the Grant admin
istration.
The Radicals of Florida follow the
example of their friends in Alabama
and New York in quarreling about tho
offices. Senator Osborn has come ail the
way to Dong Branch to convince the
President that the way to “ settle the
Republican differences,” is to appoint
only his friends to be Postmasters and
Collectors!
If this Is a republican government,
"why Is it that tho President of the Unit
ed States is empowered, by Radical
legislation, to arrest and imprison any
citizen without warrant or the preferment
of charges t Such authority is conferred
upon the President by tho-Foroe Bill
passed at the late session of Congress,
The autocrat of Russia can do but little
more.
affi-Wfmt Gen. Leo his combined
forces failed to do, capture Washington,
has beeii accomplished by one rebel
of Georgia. He is
sole cabinet officer at Washington. Mr.
Grant’s administration is Radical, but
a rebel runs the business. How’s that
for ‘‘loyalty ?”
Jffi'The New York Tribune advises
the Southern Republicans “to send the
thieving carpet-baggers to the rear in
all future struggles." Heretofore the’
carpet-baggers and negroes have bad
the front rapk, and monopolized the
most important ofljees,
Tms paragraph is doing duty Must
now in the sham-republican Journals:
"The copperhead Jlcpvblican ol St,

That is to say that (lie democracy are
tho poorer classes of people, the inher
ing men of the country, who are una
ble to wear boots and shoes at present 1
prices. The aristocratic party which
has stolen the name "republican” whose
ranks embrace the bloated parvenus who
have grown rich on shoddy
with the government, the bounty-grab
bers whoso coffers are filled with tariff
subsidies drawn from the consumers’
pockets, the defaulters who run away
with taxes coined from the sweat of the
masses, the army of office-holders who
can live on tolls from the peoples’ earn
ings, these can wear boots and shoes—
even pgtent leather ones, with silk
stockings to protect their tender feet.—
Aye, let the organs Of the money aris

People who imagine that the San
Domingo Job is dead know nothing of
Grant, and' less than nothing of the
gang of greedy speculators by whom he
was surrounded.
The negro government of Liberia is
troubled. A popular 'vote was taken
on the question of changing the term
of the President from two years to four
years. President Roye took charge of
the . ballots and declared the amend
ment carried and himself President for
four years. This Anlcrjcan Radical
method of doing business did not suit
the Legislature, by whom a new elec-,
tion was ordered, and a different result
secured. Thereupon Ex-President Rob
erts was chosen i President and both
darkies are claiming the office, with a
fair prospect of some serious woll-pull
ing among their adherents.
Some lime last winter a negro official
entered a I'estaurant at Washington city
and insisted upon being served at the
same table with white men. The keeper
of the establishment declined to yield
to his demand, and the negro entered
suit against him at the Police Court, of
which he was an officer. That Court,
of course, gave judgment against the
restaurlipt keeper and in favor of the
negro, fining the keeper fifty dollars.
An appeal was taken trom the judgment
of the Police Court, which the Superior
Court has dismissed, leaving the restau
rant keeper to pay the fine. This is
hailed byßepuhiican newspapers as a
grand triumph, and another advance of
the principles of the party. We com
mend it to the attention of white men
everywhere. ■,
The political condition of affairs in N.
Carolina is a source of much uneasiness
to the members of the National Repub
lican Executive Committee, and they are
now endeavoring to perfect a plan to re
deem the State from Democratic influ .
ences.
' So says a late despatch from Wash
ington. Republican dissensions are
multiplying daily,' and Republican edi
tors will soon have their bands full of
“departures” in their own ranks.. In
the meantime, Democrats are closing
their ,columns for a vigorous and suc
cessful march against the demoralized
enemy.
The Radical temperance men of
Pennsylvania are determined to be rec
ognized, and have called a strictly pro
hibitory State Mass Convention in Har
risburg, oh the 9th of August, to nomi
nate pledged temperance men for Audi
tor GeneralandSurveyor General. They
are particularly incensed against Gen.
Owen, the President of their late State
Conveptiori,' whom they charge with
selling out to existing parties and polit
ical managers.
*®*Forney has had a correspondent
traveling through South Carolina for
some time, his business'being to hunt
up material for firing the Radical heart.
He has finally been compelled to tell a
little truth, and in his last letter to the
-Press, he writes as follows :
‘‘l begin to believe that amnesty, very
general, and exempting from its provis
ions only Jefferson Davis and a half doz
,eu similar leaders, would be a wise meas
ure. It will remove an excuse from this
people for all their animosity against the
United States Government, and any and
all justification for tbese outrages.”
Wendkix PhiivlipS, the man who
has had the credit of furnishing all the
brains for the Radical party ever since
its birth, being interviewed at his sum
mer residence, Swarapscot, Massachu
setts, declares that he does not see
much hope for the Republican party.
It is like an old family, all its merits
are uhder the ground. The Republican
party is a ghost haunting the grave of
its departed strength.”
The Radicals of New Mexico are di
vided. One faction refuses to support
Colonel Chaves, the candidate for dele
gate to Congress, and proposes, to run
Major Jose de Sena, who was a candi
date in the convention. The result will
probably be the election of the Demo
cratic candidate, Mr. Jose M. Gallegos.
While the re-nomination of Govern
or Haight, in California, has been re
ceived with great cordiality by the
Democrats in all parts.of the State, that

has stirred up a fierce fight in the ranks
of the opposition. —--
• Since the first day of June President
Grant has passed three days in Wash
ington, and for that immense amount
of service he has drawn from the United
States Treasury $2,083.83, or nearly $7OO
for each day that he attended to the
duties of his ofilce. The balance of the
time he has spent with congenial and
convivial spirits at Long Branch and
elsewhere. ,

THE BALTIMORE POISONING CASE.
The Baltimore papers have accounts
of an alleged poisoning case there, from
which we take the following:
On June 23d, General Ketchum, an old
army aesociate and friend of the late Maj.
Wharton, and intimate with his family,
arrived at the residence of Mrs. Wharton,
on Hamilton Place, intending to spend a
few days. On the 24th, the day after his
arrival, he was taken suddenly ill, and
(lied on the 28th. During his illness he
was attended by Dr. P. C. Williams.—
While Gon. XCotobum toy til, Mr-Eugcno
Van Ness, for years on intimate terms
with the family, called to spend the even
ing. Shortly after his arrival Mrs. W.
oflfered him and several, other persons
who were present glasses of beer, which
she said contained drops- of. gentiu (a
strong tonic), and .her hospitality was
aceepied. In a brief time Mr. Van Ness
became very sick, and had to remain in
her house. Hia family was notified, and
Dr. Chew was summoned to attend him.
As the sudden death of Gen, Ketchum
had excited remark, the unexpected ill
ness of Mr. Van Ness also created a sus
picion of-crime. At this time General
Ketchum had not been buried, but his
remains had been removed to Washing
ton by hia friends. Prof. E. A. Aiken, of
the Maryland University, was requested
to analyze his stomach, and upon a care
ful performance of hia work discovered
twenty grains of tartar emetic. In the
meantime Mrs. Wharton had continued
her preparations to leave for Europe, via
New York, intending to sail yesterday.
On Monday last bench warrants were
issuSd from the Criminal Cour t in this
city for the arrest of Mrs. E. G. Wharton,
the widow of (he late Major Henry W.
Wharton, of the United States army, re
siding at No, 2Q3 North Eutaw street, in
a locality fashionably known as “Hamil
ton Place,” on the.o'harge of the murder.
at her residence, by poisoning, of Gen.
William Scott Ketchum; and'also with
.the poisoning, with intent to kill, of Mr.
Eugene Van Ness.
Shortly before the hour named for her
departure, the officers who had the war
rant for her arrest notified her of its na
ture, and informed her that she was a
prisoner in her house, where she now
remains, under police sm veillanee,
Baltimore, Julv 15.—1 n the Criminal
Court of Baltimore to-day, Judge Gilmor
presiding, the Grand Jury came in a little
after 2 o’clock with two presentments
against Mrs. Elizabeth G. Wharton; the
first for feloniously, wilfully, and of ma
lice aforethought killing and murdering
General William Soott Ketchum, United
States Army, by administering tartar
emetic, or some other poisonous drug, on
or about June 28,1871.
The second presentment is for attempt
ing to kill and murder Eugene Van Ness
by administering poison about tbe same
time. There were eighteen witnesses be
fore the Grand Jury, among whom were
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Van Ness, Mr. and
JJrs.-Henry Snowden, Dr. S. C. Chew
Dr. P. C. Williams, and General B. w!
Brice, Paymaster General, U. S. A.
As this case is not bailable, the Sheriff
will take Mrs. Wharton in custody this
afternoon. It'has produced intense ex
citement in tbe city.
Later. —At 3:30 P. M., a hack was
driven to the rear of Mrs. Wharton’s
house, on Garden street, and Mr. Sheriff
Albert, Marshal Gray, Deputy Marshal
Frey and George Boseman, the Deputy
Sheriff, alighted and entered the house.
An empty hack followed. The prisoner,
having been notified of their coming, was
ready to receive them. Marshal Gray
delivered his prisoner to the Sheriff, and
in a few moments Mrs. Wharton, ac
companied by her daughter and Mrs.
Crawford Nelson, was driven rapidly to
the jail.
Mrs.' Wharton was dressed In deep
black and heavily veiled. Her composure
afterreachiug the jail was really wonder
ful. Upon her arrival at the Jail, Mrs.
Wharton was assigned to the second cell
on the first tier, of what is known as the
woman’s side. The prisoner was allowed
to furnish her cell, and her meals will be
sent to her from tbe outside.
Her demeanor was calm and collected.
She expressed little surprise at the action
of the Grand Jury, denied emphatically
her guilt, and said she felt confident of
being able hr establish her innocence On
(he other band, the detectives who have
been engaged in working up the case
express it ns their opinion that the evi
dence is perfectly damning. She Is a tall
woman, very slender, with sunken eyes
sharp cheek hones, and sharp nose. She
has the bearing and manners of a oulti
vated lady.
Mrs. Wharton ia subject to epileptic at
tacks qnd her physician thinks it would
be dangerous for her to be confined in a
cell by herself, as she might bo seized at
night and die for want of attention. It
la therefore probable that her daughter
will be permitted to stay with hef. The
Impression seems to bp gaining ground
(bat she is at times insane.

—While some of the Watkins Glen
party left Look Haven
last week for that place were exploring
the Glen at one of the dangerous points,
Mrs. accidentally fell
' about Jntp a deep pool,
assistance rendered by one of the gentle
men of the party. The cries of those
present—a couple of men and two or
three* ladles—attracted the attention of
Mr. Thomas*Reed; who wak a short dis
tance off. He hurried to the spot, jump
ed in, mid at the risk of his own life res
cued the hwly, who was sinking for the
last time.
Now that Mr. Boutwell has resumed
his official duties, after an airing in New
England, and in hob-nobbing with the
“ Government” at Long Branch, it is to
be supposed that the war with the Com
missioner of Infernal Revenue, which
was suspended by a truce of absence,
will be vigorously renewed. It is an
nounced, on behalf of Gen. Pleasonton,
that the causes of difference are more
intense than the public has yet been
permitted to know. And he feels con
fident, doubtless from the assurances of
the Military Ring, that the President
will sustain him and dismiss the obsti
nate Secretary. This is given out as
semi-official, but our confidence is less
assured than that of the Commissioner.
Distasteful as the Secretary of the
■Treasury is to the President in some
respects, he has too strong a hold on a
part of the Radical organization, to be
thrust out of office, as Mr. Cox was, for
attempting to purify the civil service.
He is determined to stay, and will never
resign. To remove him would involve
something more than inconvenience.—
That course would precipitate a storm,-
which has been brewing for some time
past, and lead to results by no means
agreeable. Of course, the subsidized
organs would applaud the President
and denounce Boutwell, ns vigorously
as they now praise his wonderful finan
ciering. But the rank and file would
rebel, and rebellion before the meeting
of the nominating convention might
create unhappy divisions among the
faithful. So we are inclined to believe,
that Gen. Pleasonton must be reconciled
to his fate and be content to eat hum r
ble-pio.— Washington Weekly Patriot.
