he is allowed to:Cieape a shower. of Dem

"OS IC - •
Ir Is PLAIN that Ole
,investigation by
the House,. into the alleged corrupticips
of Senittore, has so far succeeded that
they have -caught the right man, in the
contumacious witness, VirooLEY. He and
his Deinocratic backers in the House
are fairly--"cornered2!----The-facts in his
knowledge must ultimately be divulged,
if the House persists firmly, .invite de•
mand. Publi , opinion at the capital is
rapidly chrYstalizing into the conviction
that a Western Senator's vote was pui
chased and haq been in part paid for.
The progress of inquiry has strengthened
this suspicion in place of removing it. It
sincerely to , , be hoped that this whole
matter may be probed to the bottom.
Tho friends of Fessetiden, Fowler.
Grimes`, Ross, Henderson, and Trunibull
tell us tha - t - these gentlemen of conscience
declare thdmselves to be in-hearty accord
with the Chicago platform and *arm
supporters of the Candidates.. Thiti may
be so; but the question crises whether
Grant and Colfax and the Republican
phalanx will accept their support - These
statesnien, Soriittors, - riind - incorruptible
judges, or whatever you please to call
them, have shOwn themselves to be very
questionable allies in the huur of dan
ger. The, Republican party did without
them last Saturday a week, and, can do
without them now.
BRIGHT PROSPEOTS.—From all parts
of the country comes the most encourag
ing reports of the condition of the groat
U_nion_ party.. The apostacy of the Pres
ident and the SevenTriifaaite - ri sSena
tors has inspired the palty to new energy'
for the overthrow of - all obstacles to its
future success and the people] Are fully
aroused to the importance of idoroased
energy in the campaigti l now npoil us.
The result mill be 4 glorious victory for
our State and Presidential tickets at the
approaching[ 'all elections.
.Let every
man stick to the work and the result will
be most glorious.-

terms of higher praise of Gen. Grant
than the World does; and we hope our
Deinocratio friends will read its opinion
upon his merits and abilities, and if it.
be not asking too much we_would like to
have our neighbor, the Volunteer, give
the article a place se , its columns,• Cer
tainly the New York Word is entitled
to the consideration of 'all Demooratio

would produce so little sorrow as does the
death of An "Wheatland Sage." ,In uo
sense a great Statesman, ins_whole sue
oeso was due "to. his . abilities . as
_a_ -politi
cian nt the most unscrupulous and in
triguinekind. In hie" whole political.
life ho was consistent and honest In the
.
advocacy_ and defense, of but a single
prinoiple, and that was the divinty of hu
man slayery. ~In defense of the interests
of that institution, he went to the length.
of throwing the whole weight of his ad
ministration into the scale in favor of the
secret organization of the great rebellion.
When it ley in his power, to nip it in the
- bud he refused• M..take paiFin its sup
pression, alleging .that there was no pow;
er to Coe'ree a State; r and upon, this
Miserable pretext, allowed it to grow
and wax strong. While his many other
errorssind faults may perhaps be forgiven,
the" American people North and South
can never forget his wickedness in' that
critical hour of .the, nations history.
Upon him rests the whole responsibility .
for the groat sacrifices and sufferings that
followed during the four years of the
bloody strife that were consumed in af
fecting what he could
.have aceemplish
ed, almost without blood; in a day, or a
week at farthest: - •
But he tint passed away, and we - have
no desire to say alight that:Would aerie
to increase the severity ofpublic judg
ment on his inis-deade an d politicid crimes.
Rather would we desire that the odium
and obloipty - whiesurrounded'his name
could te buried - with him. It certainly
must have teen bitter punishment for
him - to - have lived -as-long-as-he-did-in-ther
scorn and contempt-of his fellow citizens.-
DooOted to be Disappointed.
The Democratic journals of a few days*
since trotted out their largest display
lines over what 'they announced - as- a
great conservative victory in Washington.
They -filled their colums with the -usual
babble about great Democratic gains and
'argued from what they denominated the
defeat of radicalism in the National, capi •
tai, a pure and easy victory in the com
ing campaign. They voted every re
'-turned rebel soldier, every negro they.
could persuade er 4 l.lrive, every clerk in
every 'department who hail the lear of
Andrew, the copperhead, before his eyes,
and of course before the vote was count
'id they felt - so - sanguine of success that
they .telegraphed victory all over the
country hut, - while many of the tie;
groes and all the Clerks were so intimi
dated as to cast their votes for the rebel
ticket, nevertheless, the-Union teen have
triumphed in the election of their can
didate for mayor by a very decided ma
jority. Democratic calculations have
ttgaii come to naught, their hopes have
again been blasted, and their telegrams
again proven to be as false as the prineb.
pies of the party itself.
The Volunteer _of_ this week hoists to
the breeze' a.United States flag, in mis
take for the "The Stars ind Bars,'!' and
shouts: "White Men Victorious!" If
by this it moans to say the rebel-demoo
'raey is victorious, it, like all other Dem
ocratic sheets, is sadly Mistaken, but,
'if it means that ivhite principles, to be
found in the bosoms of all true and
patriotic men, are triumphant,_ then it
is right. DI a spirit of liberality we ac
cept the latter interpretation:
would be a burning shame and moat
disastrous calamity to elect a creature like
Grant to this high - and responsible position
&c."-- YoNnieer. .

t-In formally accepting the nominationid
the National Union Republican Convention
of the 21st of May inst., it seems proper
that some statenient of view's. .beyond--- - the

the feelings of the great mass of those who
sustained_the_country through its recent.
trials. I indorse the resolutions. If ele,ed
to the - ..office_of President of use. United
States,. it will be my ondem/or to adMinister
all the laws in gcrod fitithi with economy,
and with the view of giving peace, quiet,
and protection. everywhere. In times liko
the present it is impossible, or at least emi
nently improper, to lay down a policy to tio
adhered to, right or wrong, through an ad
niinistrationof four years. New political
issues, not foreseen, are 'constantly arising;
the views of the public on old ones are con
stantly changing, and a purely administra
tive officer should always be left, free to
execute the will of the people. -I always
'have respqbted that will, and always shall.
Peace and universal prosperity—its se
quence—with economy of administration
will_lighten the_liurden of I.axatioh, while

SPEAKER COLFAX'S LETTER
lion. J. R. HAWLEY, President of the Na
ii•nal Union Republican Convention. •
DEAR Sin : The platform adopted by the
patriotic Convention oVerwhich you presided
and the resolutions which so happily supple
ment it, so entirely agree with my views as
to a just national policy that my thanks are
duo to the Delegates as much for this clear
and auspicious declaration of principles as
for the nomination with which-I have been
honored, and which I gratefully accept.
When a great Rebellion, which imperiled
the national existence, was at last over
thrown,-the-duty. of -all- others,--devolvirig
on those entrusted • with this ,responsibilities
of legislation, evidently was-to require that
the revolted- States should be readmitted
to partieipate in the Government, against
which they had-erred only on such a basis
increase and fortify, not to weaken or
endanger, the strength and power of the
_nation.' Certainly no one ought to have
Claimed that they should be readmitted un
der such rule that their organization as
States could over again be used, as .at the
opening of the Ifrar, to defy the national
authority, or to destroy the national unity.
This principle has boon ..the, polo-star of
those who have inflexibly insisted on the
Congressional policy, your • Convention so
cordially indorsed. Badled by Executive
opposition; and by persistent rofirsairto ac-*
cept any „plan . of reconstruction- proffered
by Congress, -justice and-puplic safety -at
test combined to teach us that only by an
enlargement of suffrage in those States could
the desired end be attained, End that it was
even more safe to give the ballot to those
who loved the- Union then to those who hud
- sought effectually to destroy it. The assured
success of this legislation is being written
on the adamant of history, and will be our
triumphant vindication: Moro clearly, too;
than over before, does the nation notv rec
ognize that the.greatest-glory-of,;a-ropublie
is that-it throws the shield of its' protection
over the humblest and- weakest of its peo- -
, Pio, and vindicates the rights of poor and
the powerless as faithfully as those of.tho
rich and the powerful. I rejoice, too, in
this connection ; to find in your platform the
frank and fearless avowals that naturalized.
citizens must be protticted abroad at every
hazard, as though they . wore native-born.
Our whole people are , oreigners, or deseen-
dents of foreigners; our fathers established
'by arms their right to bo called a nation;
It remains for us to establish the right to.

abroad, is onlyanother namufor petpotial

oaths a:fidelity to their fiduPted land have:

The Union . Pacific Railroad—Six

It seems but a few' weeks 'since the an
nouncdment was made, .with a commenda
ble national pride in the fact, that five hun
dred miles of the 'anion pacifie Railroad
had boon completed and opened. to business.
Half a thousand miles across theT:leins in a
little more than - two years' time, was some
thing to boast' of, and it was naturally won
dered if the . Company which had accom
plished so much, could continue their work
With equal vigor, or whether their strength,
purpose, or finances would not fail them
• before'the great difficulties yet in thoir'Wey.
This query-is being so forCibly answered by
the continued achievements of the builders
of the line that, 'further skepticism is un
reasonable. Although the winter can hard

it is finally completed.
U 1 the financial iuccesslof this Railroad
there can be nu doubt. It will be the only
railway connecting the Atlantic and P,teilk
States and' Territories, - -and will be the i t,ni)
avenue of connection'' with, the mining
re
glum, whose annual yield of 'seventy live
millions in gold and silver will be dofibled
by the facilities for emigration and labor
which-tliis railroad will give. It will give
to the Government transportation of freights,
mails, and military supplies at rates amply
remunerative to the Company, and still, far
below what has - been - - heretofore* paid ' for
such sorties. • In addition to all of the local
trade and that between the extremes of our
country, this railroad will be a national
highway for the traffic between foreign
countries, which will find this their nearest
International route. But we need depeno
upon neither speculation nor prophecy to
determine the question of the profit of this
enterprise. The figures for. the last yen ,
slow tbe net earnings upon t/at portion.of
the road then in operation,,to have been
more than one million of dollars..
The Union Pacific. Railroad Company is
offering for sale its First Mortgage Bonds,
as advertised in another column. These
Bonds are for $l,OO each, boar 6 per cont.
gold interest, and principal, aQ well as in

are, by act of Congress, made a First Mort

rho difficulty, in accomplishinginUch where
