It lias been charged by the Lib-Rcp-Derus.
that President Grant hns been
the receiver of presents since his elec
tion to the presidency of the United
States. Every one of the organs advo
cating the election of Greeley making
this charge, knows that it is an out and
out lie. They all know that the present
from several New Yorkers of 8100.000
was made in 180G tnd not in . 18G9 " as
they make, by forging and altering dates.
Sam Bowles ot the Spring field Rrpvh
iictn lias the honor and houesty to re
tract, as will be seen from the following
extract.
"Such, certainly, is the changing of
the date ol a little letter of Gent Giant's
acknowledging a present of 5100,000
Irom various New Yorkers, from its real
writtinj in 1800 to 18G9. and thus mak
ing it appear that he had been the re
cipient of this great gift after his elec
tion to the Presidency, and iuat on the
eve of his inauguration. Thia forgery
has been going the rounds of the Press
and been used more or less upon the
stump as an argument against, the Presi
dent s re-election, and the ICeputAican
nuwittiugly, adopted it, in an effort to
enlighten a correspondent on the subject
of Gen. Grant's present taking ull the
n:ore to its mortifiicatiou, because that
whole theme is distasteful to it, and iur-
nislics in its opinion; one of the smallest
of the practical objection to Grant's
reteution at tho head ot the Uovern-mcnt-"
TJut whoever heard of a Democratic
organ making acknowledgment of fa!-'
hood even after overtaken in tho clear
est manner, but Bowls was once a Re
publican and has a little of his old time
honesty left him yet.
Charles 11. Buckalew was a, member
of the order of "Sons of Liberty," the
organization which the rebels so much
relied on to get up a counter reoeilio'n
in the North, ' and to stimulate which
tho rebel agents took up a position in
Canada. It was here that Buck'alew
had an interview with Ilolcombc. Not
only was Mr. Buckalew a member, but
ho was an officer of tho order. Daily
Telegraph,
The Pittsburg Gazette of yesterday
says Buckalew has about fiuished his
ramble in Western Pennsylvania. If
his visit here has improved his cause, or
enthused hia fellowers, we have failed
to discover the slightest indication of it
There has been a lack-lustre air about
him, and a seeming doubt on his part
as to theiesull of the canvass, anything
but inspiring to hia followers. The very
best to be had of him is his speech, and
that was largely defensive. . He will not
gain votes by his first trip across the
mountains.
Ihe Louisville convention has not
adjourned without fruits. Scarcely
have the delegates set their faces home
ward before we have Gen. Roumfort
over the signature of "Junius" woud
eringhowany Democrat can oppose
Greeley! Verily the General's ways
like tho ways of Providence, are past
finding out. Daily Telegraph.
There bas not been an Auditor Gen
eral in the last twenty years who gave
more time to the duties of . the office
than was given by Ilartranft in his six
years of sorvice, aud the results he has
achieved, in reducing the State debt
and securing the repeal of State taxes
are the first of the kind on recoid. He
is the first of the Auditor Generals of
Pennsylvania that succeeded in reduo
ing the State debt, and at tho same time
jepealing State taxes.
