Lancaster 3ntelligenrer. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1870 A Speculative Beggar. 'When It was charged last Fall that President Grant had been, engaged, through his brother-in-law, Corbin, in speculating in the New York gold mar ket, few persons really believed that he was guilty; the circumstances connects lag him with Corbin's transactions were very suspicious, but they were not suffi cient topositively prove that Grant was wait his position as President, to regu late the financial policy of the country in such a way as to fill his individual pocket. It was well known that he was greedy of wealth, and :that he would steadily reward such persons as gave him presents of houses and lands, wines and cigars, libraries, horses, dogs and sea-side cottages; but this little failing of his was attributed to the bad habit he had fallen into before the war, and after he was dismissed from the army for drunkenness and indecency ; he lived then at Galena, Illinois, and not having a emit of his own, nor any disposition to earn one, was supported by the stray dollars which he begged from his inlet ed relatives. A beggar then, he is a beggar still. Now, a beggar is not ne cessarily a thief, hut nevertlieless a pru dent, housewife will keep a sharp look out on him, as long as he is in the vi cinity of her (+Altos-lines, table furni ture or Other 1110V:tide property.

They are chosen, not on account of their fitness for the position they are called upon to fill, but solely on account of their polit.: ical relations to some Radical Congress man or other official. Many of them are destitute of business talent, not a few lack honesty, and multitudes of them are mere bummers and brawling pot house politicians. To keep up this vast army of inefficient officials costs the tax-payers many millions of dollars every year, in one way and another. The Revenue Department has been con verted into an asylum, where many of the worst men belonging to the Repub lican party are pensioned off and sup ported at the public expense. The masses of that party can not be so com pletely blinded by prejudice as not to see the evils which exist, and we are sure that thousands of them would gladly vote to remedy the abuses which affect all classes of the community alike. In our judgment the best and the cheapest way to collect the taxes which are necessary to support the general gov ernment, would be to apportion the amount among the several States, ac cording to their ability to pay, and to leave each State to collect the amount thus levied upon it from such sources and in such a way as its authorities might deem proper. 'fire same officials who collect the State and County taxes could collect all taxes levied for the gen eral government, and the whole army of Federal officials might be thus dis pensed with. The States being re sponsible, would hold the county of ficials to a strict accountability, and they would exercise a like restraint over their subordinates. The people would choose the men who would gather the tax from them, and they would se lect honest 100 l capable persons. The Legislature of each State could appor tion the taxes in a more equitable man , ner than Congress does, and the whole system being brought under the imme diate view and control of the taxpayers would Iba• vastly' Shit lie d , i nnpruved and cheapened. 011 e of the greatest cursesid this is,llll - is the increase of Federal office.- holders which has taken place since the Radicals obtained control of the gen eral government. 'Flits garden must be weeded out, and whole crops of useless officials cut up by the roots. The people are all interested in cheapening the ex penses of the government, and they la - gin hr see how they have been imposed upon. Let them apply the remedy at the ballot-box in too mining Congn.s sional elections. Let none but unques tionably honest omen be voted fur, nail lid every candidate who will nut pledge hinnsel I' 1,, give us a cheaper governmen lie defeated. A Trld; of Butler After due deliberation the litttise Committee 1111 itlilifinstrurtimi voted to report tt. bill for the admission of I Ittorgia with the Bingham antentiment, which defeats the imptitiLtnt and outrageous tlttenipts of I tovernor IlulloclL to perpet uate Ida rule in the State, against the will :Lint wishes of the people.

Biennial Sessions 't he Vermont Lutist ituliuunl Conven iiilll has determined to do away with annual sessions of the State Legislature, and has :Molded the plan of holding biennial sessions. This rule is general in the - Western States, :mil it is found to work well wherever it has been tried. It would be a good thing to adopt it in Pennsylvania. The pamphlet f mt. Mining; all the general laws passed at the I:1,1 session of our legislature is very thin, indeed, and the lawyer who looks through it must conclude that it is hard ly worth while for the people of Penn sylvania to he put to the expense of electing and paying legislators for all I hey do that is wise or beneficial. The truth is that our legislators no longer fit tend to public business. From the day they are elected, most of them, theyturn their attentiOns to private bills, and many of them only concern them selves about paying jobs. We can easily dispense with annual sessions. Let the taxpayers demand this as it measure of reform, It will reduce expenditures and do away with much of the corruption which now prevails at Harrisburg. THE city election held in Waterbury, Connecticut, on Monday last, resulted, in the words of the Waterbury Ameri 'Wl, I itiadiCai "in a 'lran sweep for the Democrats in ercrythbw cxcept the Sec ond Ward." The A mcrioan chums that this is not surprising, excepting as re gards the Third ward. "'Phis ward" it says, "is known to he strongly Repub lican, but it went Democratic." The Democratic vandidate for Mayor, Isaac E. Newt o n, was elected by 193 majority, Waterbury, last year elected a Radical Mayor by 316 majority, but her citizens scent to prefer a return to Demoeratic management. \\ i..,h Os 3,londay the Dennierats of New London, Connecticut, elected their entire city ticket, with 160 majority.— Last April the Radical majority wasl.l.o. Another cvidence of the popularity of Brant, the Fifteenth Amendment and Chinese labor. THE stolen $20,000 worth of $lO green backs have not yet been found.

The only Radical victory we have been obliged to record for several: months past, is the re-election of ',Whit tentoie, the reverend carpet-bag thief and cadet-broker,. who, after having . been expelled from the House of Rep resentatives,Was tritimphantly returned by a negro majority of 8,000. The Rad icals don't seem to be particularly jubi lant over their triumph. On the con trary they talk seriously of kicking their brother, a second time, out of the seat to which his colored constituents have elected him. But why should they do I so? Of course, he WAS elected exclu sively by ignorant negroes, but that should make him the more lovely in the eyes of his fellow negro-worshippers. Of course, he traded in West Point ea- detships, but so did quite u number of 1 those who proposed to reject him. Of course, he is a knave and a thief, but if all the knaves and thieves were expel ed from the present liouse of Represen tatives that loyal and imtriotic body would be left without a quorum. Be sides, it would appear from the well known proclivities of his colored constituents, and the handsome majo rity they gave him after they had been fully advised of Ilk character, or rather his want of character, that he is truly their " representa tive man;" and in this free and equal republic, each peculiar interest should be entitled to its peculiar representative. High tariff constituencies have high tariff representatives—railroad monopo lies elect railroad monopolists—and even Democratic constituencies, When their majorities are overwhelming, are some times permitted to lie represented by men of their own principles. Then why should not a eonstitueney of hug and hominy thit•ves lie represented in Om gress by a thief '."fliey need somebody to look after their itit•rest-: and protect them in their loyal fill the hen roosts, and smoke-1i0n,,, and pig-pens and potato-pat , •ln , of the white rebels who own the land in their Congressional District; and who el- , could so prop erly represent Il n :Is Whittemore? Butler and tailield and Logan and Dickey and the re-t, have faithfully . ..oil by Satoh., and hi. intere , ts to the Let them not go hack Oil Admit Whittemore to his People who live in glass houses should not throw stones; and it is more than likely that if a brick were thrown at random into the 11x11 of the House, it would strike a greater seoundrel than Whittemore.

At the Republican Stale Convention at Dover, last week, when Thus. B. Course). was nominated for Governor, and Jos u a T. Heald for Congress, resolutions were adopted which, while endorsing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, approve gencral ronitedll, express con fi deuce in the administration, favor free schools, and criticise the record of Slate management by the Democracy. The Democratic majority in the State ;it the last election was 3,320, as follows: New castle county, 713 ; Kent county and Sussex county, 1,249. The colored vote of the State is estimated as at least The Republicans are not san guine, however, as to the result in Kent and Sussex counties. The colored vote in Kent is about 1,500, and in Sussex about 1,250. But there has been consid erable feeling in regard to the nomina tion for Governor. The more Conserv ative Republicans think the negroes htive taken ton great a part in the elec tion of delegates to the convention. The Democracy of Delaware are in good spirits and in good lighting trim, and expect to achieve a complete victory. NONE of the Radical newspapers of this ckty seem to have heard of the live ly time their grand old party had in the Philadelphia nominating conventions. They cohtent themselves with publish ing a dry list of the nominees. No wonder so many intelligent Republi cans are subscribers to the I,NTELLIGEN (TB.. It is OA only spnrce through which they can be made acquainted with the doings of their own party. While Grant was trying in vain to catch fish at the head-waters of the Susquehanna, the son-in-law of Secre tary Fish was successfully angling on the banks of the Potomac. He is the recognized Attorney of the Spanish GovernmSnt, and several prominent Republican newspapers have charged that he controls his father-in-law, and has so far prevented the administration ' from expressing one word of sympathy for the struggling Cuban patriots.— During Grant's absence he prepared the message on Cuban affairs, which we I published, and before Grant got the fumes of Cameron's champagne out of his head, he was induced to sign it. Its presentation to Congress took that body by surprise, and Banks and other friends lof Cuba were astounded at the substance and the tone of the document. Its trans mission at this particular moment, when it was well known that the House had the subject under consideration, is re garded as unnecessary and entirely un called for. The feeling in Congress is shown to be very bitter, and there IN" 11S an excited debate on the subject. General Banks made a vigorous and decidedly bitter speech against the President's Message, characterizing its statements as false, and severely criti cising it throughout. No message of any President of the United States was ever thus received by the House of Representatives. Gen. Bunks charged in plain terms that the message was pre pared by a lawyer, who was paid in gold for doing the work. The infamously disgraceful scenes which attended the nomination of Radi cal candidates ill Philadelphia are a very sad commentary upon the character of that organization which claims to repre sent "all the decency" of the country', and WiliCh has had the audacity to style itself "the (;eil and Morality party." The lights, the frauds and the exllibi thm of all the baseness that can attach to politics was not confined to a single convention. IL extended to nearly every assemblage of the kind which win held, and there were about, seventy of these gatherings all in operation at once. The report which we gleaned principally from Republicaia newspapers is said to Lace been a very feeble description of what actually oecurred. It has come to pass in the City of Brotherly Love, that. In, man can hope to secure a nomination on the Republican ticket without buying it. In commenting upon this admitted fact the Morning Post' says: A political Convention in this day is a Man-market, where delegates expose their votes for sale just is a butcher does his pork or beef. 'Fhey study that business just as a gainbler educates his hand to hide a card, or a thief pra,tices the art of picking pockets. There are honest men elected to every l'onvention, undoubtedly, but they cannot control Llie professional delegates i tahn o btain elections for the solitary par pose or solliog themselves for the highest I price. This is so notorious that it is nuly a mall of great popularity, :We or whom the petty politicians :11 - 0 afraid, who dart, to go int. , NVII.IIOLIC throwing (1016,11 a !anise, and saying like Claude :%lel notte, "I outbid you sordid hucksters," and paying for Ins nomination. honest men do their II:1111,S lief :re Conven tions, but gel:or:illy a, :I. protest only, and with little hopcl4,lll7,SS. There are men who will promise, give security for the performance—and keep the promise, too— that fora certain sum they Will buy you a nomination.

News from Darien We took occasion, some creeks ago, to say that the discouraging, tidings from the first attempts of the surveying party to lied a canal route across the Cordil leras must not lead us to give up all con fidence in future exploration. Com mander Selfridge now writes in very good spirits with regard to his success thus fur, and still believes that the route from the gulf of San Blas to the Bayano river, and thence to the Pacific, will prove practicable. However, he will continue his explorations until the best possible route is obtained. It is certain ly to be hoped that American energy and capital will carry through this great undertaking, which promises such valu able results. THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company has, it is said, secured the controlling power in the new railroad between Washington and Fredericksburg, as well as that of the Baltimore and Poto mac Company. George D. Roberts, of Pennsylvania, has been elected Presi dent of the former. Is there Corruption In Congress The Harrisburg Topic, Gov. Geary's organ asks the above question, and then proceeds to answer it as follows : "The acrimony displayed in Congress during the debate of the Cuba question, and particularly the bitterness manifested be tween John A. Logan and Ben. Butler, affords the evidence to men who choose to ponder it in all Its bearings, that there is a reckless corruption practiced in Con gress, which puts to shame all the de basement of the same kind usually prac ticed in our Sitate Legislatures. Gen. Logan was quite emphatic in the insinua tion that Gen. Butler had been bought by Spanish gold, while Butler in response, se riously declared that Cuba bonds had a great deal to do With the sympathy mani fested in Congress for the struggle to make the Island free. Retorting to this, Logan proclaimed that the object was to get our Government to purchase Cuba from Spain, which could only be effected by preventing all recognition of war in that island. Here is a reflex of a debate in Congress. What do the people think of it? In what light do Logan and Butler stand? How do their criminations and recriminations reflect on the honor of our Representatives? It is not possible to reply to these questions without exposing the fact that the corruptions now practiced in Congress are of the most frightful character; this is now irresistible. Congressmen have themselves to blame. The popular opinion is fast gaining ground that money is freely used to secure the ac tion of Congress on all subjects, for which John A. Logan anti B. F. Butler are entitled to the credit. In their speeches, these men give the people cause to believe this to be true. In a little while honorable men will shrink front going to Congress. . nucli a confession of Radical corrup tion, from such a source, ought to pro duce some impression on the minds of honest Republicans. What Dana says of Grant C. A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, speaks as folli;ws of our imbecile President.
