There is a fine sarcasm iu Rufus In

New Hampshire is truly loyal, as
indicated by the election on Tuesday,
tho Republicans ducting thoGovernoi

they worked and voted to save them

UA.SIEL DItK1"8 DOWNFALL.
The kankrnptev of Daniel Drew has I
bra tl subject if very gonoral dm
cussion in Wall alrwt, lately. ,ot
that it was n surpise, tor Mr. Drew
had pnH tieaHj' hYilotl during tho panic,
and hull nuiiki an assignment to Wil
liam L. Scott, t Erie, Penn'a. ' Uo
bad been known lis an unsuccessful
speculator during tho latter years of
his carwr in Wall street, and within
tlio past ten yoars he had done very
little iu stock. At one time hialank
ruptcy would have created a sensation,
but yesterday it was merely a subject
for gossip or street talk, serving to
point tho moral that tho longer a man
remains in Wull street the less he Is
likely to take out of it. There was
no sympathy cxpiossd for Mr. Drew,
his" career as tt speculator having boen
such as to harden the street against
biia. While Mr. Drew personally may
be a bankrupt, it is not conisclorcd dhut
be is likely to suffer from want, as his
family are well supplied with means.
From tbo year when ho went into
business as a cuttle drover until a time
about ton years ago, he may bo said to
have boon a successful man. It Is his
career in Wull street that lias made
him mora conspicuous than anything
ohe in his history, notwithstanding his
connection with the magnificent Hud
son river bonis, and his munificent en
dowments of the Methodist churches
J k l-.j I hmImiJmImImImmIi
lie bus been thirty years in Walt street,
and at one time ruled tho stroot. His
business sngucity seemed to be some,
what impaired in his later years, for
lie went into operations in which he
ould not gut a responsible following.
I'erhaps one of his severest losses was
in his encounter with Juy Gould ami
Horace F. Clnrk, in North-wostorn.
when bis opponents "cornered" bini.
and took about 7&0,000 from him. He
was interested in tbo Toledo and Wa
bash railroad stock, was concerod in
the construction of the Canada South
rn ra'lroud, was a largo holdor of
Quicksilver Mining stock and of Can
ton (land) Company stock. On all of
these he was a heavy loser. He was
the special partner of Kenyon Cox 4
(Jo., brokers, of Wall streot, and when
I bat firm failed during tho panic he
lost heavily by it, was compelled to
mako an assignment, and ultimately to
go into bankraptcy.
When in tho height ol his prosperity,
tho wealth of Mr. Drew was csti.nated
iy some at (5,000,000, and by others
it 15,000,0(i0. His liabilities arc II,
074,131.8.1. Tho unsecured chums in
clude the 230,000 endowment iund
ottled by him on the Drew theological
seminary at Madison, N. J and the
1 100.000 settled on Wcslcyun university
at Middlctown, Conn. His personal
property consists of watch and chain,
1150; soulskin coat, 1150; llible, hymn
hooks, Ao., 130 ; and choses in action,
stocks Ac, amounting to over J700,000.
RADICALISM ILLVSTRA TED.
Tho Harrisburg Patriot, suys:
Uelknap's most grotesque speculation
was in tho contracts given out for
furnishing tombstones tor the national
cemeteries. There aro seventy -two ot
those places where tho Union soldiers
are huddled together by contract
Two hundred and fifty-throo thousand
headstones wore needed to mark tho
separate graves. The commercial as
pect of this melancholy business was
not lost upon tho War Secretary. His
Iowa friends secured the job of fur
nishing the headstones, with the ad
vantage of tho Washington systom of
hocus-pocus which enables the highest
udder to circumvent tho lowest one.
The dead soldiers were made to count
is much per head in the contingent
fund ot the war ofTico as tbo live ones
who dealt with post traders. Even in
ihoir ashes they were usetul counters
tor loyal statesmen. No transaction of
i he War Department was in more per
iod keeping with the spirit oi Kadi
elism than this thrifty piece of bush
ucsa. Ever since the war the Iiepub
iean party has driven a ghastly trade
ipon no other capital than dead men's
one.'
Gbant at Work. A Washington
letter writer savs : It appears that in
the course of tho investigation into the
affairs of the Freed man's Savings Bank,
now in progress, one of the tormor
officers of the swindling concorn ac
knowlodgod that 1300,000 of the do
ludod depositors' money was taken for
political uso in 1872, when Grant was
running for his second term. If tho
whole history of the canvass of tlia'.
year could be written, it would be tho
most shocking story of wholesale fraud
and corruption tho country baa over
known. 1 he n bisky Ring exposures
have afforded some light upon the
means used by the Grant party 'to
swell their corruption fund, though but
a small part of the truth has boen made
known. Many of tho worst facts
never will bo proved, if tho policy
adopted by Grant and Pierrepont to
intimidate witnesses is allowed to pro
vail. But about tho meanest part of
tho whole busiuoss was this stealing of
the poor freedmon's savings to use for
tho piirposo of keeping tho vcnnl Ad
ministration crowd in power, with con
tinued pportmiilica for plundering and
oppressing tho people.

Of course tlio President of tbo Unit-
led State woiiKI not fur moment be
suspected of complicity In the corrup
tions, that bsve recently been tineiwth
d at Washington, and. yet a few per
tinent questions suggesi themaulvus
just now.' i:(.
First. hen Belknnp wont to Oram
and tendered his resignation as Secre
tary of War,' with a confession of his
guilt, why did the President accept it
so promptly irifA Trgnt t Was it to
prevent, if possible, tbe Impeachment
of bis bosom friend ?
Second. Why did Groni order the
Attorney General to Institute prosecu
tions against alt who wore' connected
with these llttlo "irregularities f" Was
it to frighten those who knew all about
the mutter Into leaving tbo country , at
that there would be nono to tcHtifv
against Belknap in the courts and thur
secure his acquittal? ''
Third, r.ver since Col. Fred Grant
jraduated at West Point, he has amus
ed himself by traveling in Europe, ami
since his return, hy loafing about Wash
ington. Now, that his namo it uso
in connection with tbisruscully busi
ness why is lie ordered to report a
once for service on the plains f Was ii
to get him out of tho reach of lege
process, which would summon bim t
appear bofore tho House committei
and force him to divulge some fuinili
.m-9
Fourth. Gen. Schenck, minister t
England, has been accused of eomplic
ity In the Emma Mine frauds. Whi
was his resignation accepted by Grant
while ho was upon the high seas, oi
liia way homo T Why was it not ac
copied while yet on British soil or pom
poned until after bis arrival in thi
country T Wat the first to prevent hi
arrest in England, and the second, hi
impeachment by Congress? There ar
a few other little mutter concerning
lirotlicr Orvil, and Brother-in-law
Dent that tho people would like t
have explained. This affair from be
ginning to end, shows a desire and ut
Ibrt on tbe part ol the President to pre
vent a full investigation and to screei
the scoundrels that bavo brought dis
grace upon the nation.
What a aublimo speotacle to forcigi
powers! What a glorious inaugnra
lion of our great Centennial Exbibi
tion!
Poor "Bab." An exchange says
Babcook succeeded in escaping lh
penitentiary by meant which will som-
day be revealed. Nino-tenths of th
public believe him to bo guilty of every
thing charged in the indictment, am
a great deal more which will yet com.
to light. He has been dismissed Iron
tho Wbito House in disgrace since th
trial. Grant did his best to protet
him in tbo Whisky Ring business, un
was not troubled because of hit coi
ruption. But when be detected bin
in bad fuitb to himself, then all toluin
tion ceased, and he was ordered out
his confidential placo as secretary,
Tbe Attorney-General has publich
charged that Babeock virtually stol.
bit letter ot Instructions ts tbe District
Attorney from tho Presideut't paper
and gave it out for publication. Bab
cock does not deny having copied thu
letter and used It, but pleads that ii
was not markod private or confidential
and therefore no offence was commit
ted. According to this code of morals
a secretary of the President may copi
any of tbo privato papers in his cus
tody and publish them to tbe world
finding a justification in tlio fact thu.
they aro not protected by a spocia
mark. Babeock asked no permission
and did not inform Grant of tho copy
in this instance. He violated his trust
forfeited confidence, and played tin
part of a sneak thief. He has no'
dared to demand a court ol Inquiry fin
this and other offences, and yet ox
ecU honorable men in the army t
recognize him as an equal and to as
soclate with bim as a eentlemtn.
Grant has as good reasons for not or
dcring a court martial on charges, a-
he had for saving him from a convictV
doom, hut no officer who respects biro
self can afford to bo seen In tbo com
pany ot tbis disgraced and branded
"Colonel of Engineers."
Wasuinoton Gossip- It appears
that crooked "whisky" and Indian
trading-posts are not the only things
which now agitates society at tho Na
tional Capital. A special from Wash
ington to the dailies, a few days ago.
utilized the facts in this way : You art
aware that the new Senator from Mich
iguii, Mr. Christancy, 68 years of age,
recently married one of our Treasury
clerka aged about 20. Some of tin
bride's old associate clerks in the Cur
rency Bureau, took it Into their heads
to call on Mrs. .Senator Christancy,
and, after arraying themselves in tlieir
best, set out for the residence of the
Michigandor, which they soon found,
and sent np their caiils. Tho cards
wero returned with "not at homo," en
dowed thereon. The clerks aforesaid,
on t urning to leave, met M rs. Secretary
Fish, and Chandler, and supsing they
wero seeking Mrs. Senator Christancy,
moved tlowly to too what would hap
pen. Their cards were sent in. Soon
the door was thrown wide open, and it
was evident that somebody was at
homo then, who was absent but a very
short time before when tbe clerkt clat
tered at the door. Such was tbe first
denial made to tbe associates of a
modern snobbist at the Cnpitol.
ViaTca and NaonssiTy. Grant is
praised a great deal by lh; organs for
suub appointments as those of Mr.
Dana and Judge Tall; hut when a
man finds that the only way to keep the
wbolo administration out of the Slate
Prison is to change his system of ap
pointments we cannot see that virtue
practised under such pressure it worthy
of very great praise. It has taken Grant
a great while to find out that there Is
any ono else in tbit country be
sides his personal friends, and be might
never havo learned this if the discovery
bad not heon forced upon him by tbe
fact that his friends ire ao generally
dishonest men. Discoveries made In
such circumstance are not entitled to
medals.

It seems like old times tor mo aain
to look upon the face and form of the
Nestor of Journalism In this city.
When 1 look Col. Forney hy the hand
eighteen months ago, and sadly hude
bim good byo, and watched him do
part lor that clime beyond the lea, I
felt that I had lost a friend. Then Col.
Forney looked care-worn and weary ;
bo had just gone through Ibe most ex
haustive political campaign of his life ;
he made the fight so fur as the news
papers wero concerned single-handed,
slid had been worsted by fraud and
lurre alone.
Tbe result of that contest wns a sad
'lisappointmcnt, and keenly did Col.
Forney feel it. The sorrowful ex
pression of his face told more plainly
than words tho depth of that disttp
poinlmcnt. It was thus I warmly
shook him by the hand at parting;
but eighteen month abroad bus done
wonders for bim, and it is surprising
what chungc that length of time can
make in n man, and Col. Forney is
now again amongst us the very picture
of bioad, generous, unquestioning be
nevolence. Warmly did the press and people of
his native city welcomo his return
homo, and when, under the auspices
of the Philadelphia Press Club, lie re
counted hia exicrieiice in Europe, la
was greeted with tbo largest audience
ever assembled innnr Academy of Music
The labors of Col. Forney, while in
Europe, were of irrcst and permanent
advantage and there can be no que
lion but that our country is greutly in
drilled to his personal exertions for tbe
Kivat sueeess of tbo Foreign IHqinrt
ment of tho Exhibition. His return to
this country insures for tbo Philadel
phia Pirns a continuance of the credit
it has already secured as th Centen
nial Journal, par excrUtnct of our city.

This thing cannot lust. Tbo people
of the .whole republic feel that thev
are paying too dearly for their polil'i

a Hxir governmenl may sometimes be

tbnt il is much worse tbun no govern

Tho American people were never o
thoroughly awakened as now. They
are beginning lo look closely into this
sham culled a government, and to
weigh it benefits against its cost.
They aro learning iho strange ways,

und swindles which havo been pcre
