We copy the following paragraph in relation to Genera
Perces Charge at the Hague from new Wing paper IN
New York city:
We presume that every respectable throughout the
nation whether Wing Democrat feels in his heart that
the Belmont appointment disgrace the appointing
power. Belmont, as Is well known TO many is ilegit-
mate son OF OF the Rohschids; aud both the father
and the have been in the employment of the Emperor
of Austria, the father having been the Austrian CONSUL
General at Paris and the the Austrian CONSUL Gene.
raj at New York.
Belmont being underlng in business with the Roths
chd has been in the habit for many years of selling drafts
on them to persons going Europe. The drafts thus
drawn by him every year have amounted to immense
sum In lsi9 the Rothschds met with reverses and
there was some apprehension for time that they would
be seriously embarrassed. Well, finding themselves
Strengthened they repudiaed Belmont let all his drafts be
dshonored denied that they responsible for him and
alleged that he had no authority draw upon them The
consequence that American travellers in Europe and
others who held those drafts and relied upon them Tor the
money which necessary they should have were put
to the Inconvenience and many instances in
volved in distress To be the drafts were paid as soon
the Rothschds got relief from sher embarrassments
but the facts stated show that the firm entertained such
contempt for Belmont the bastard Of one OF them thai
they willing, in order themselves from tempo
rary Inconvenience tn disown him, to brand him vii
liam guilty of drawing drafts without authority aud thus to
expose him to prosecutions for felony Aud the bastard
had little self respect that notwithstanding his
meut by his amorous Father Co. he kept h business
connection with them, and IS keeping il up STILL and will
no doubt keep itup at the Hague.
When there many thousands Of worthy Democrats
in the United States who have sought in vain Offices
especially diplomatic Offices from the present Admintra
tion is it shame that OF the very best of the
eigu appointments has been given whose private
character il bad who has continued his business relations
with foreign firm that branded him a feon and who
had earthly recommendation the powers at Wash
ngtcn except the fact that he expended in the Presiden
a canvass last summer money possessed by him in sole
consideration OF his being rich bankers bastard!
