Hester, te Hon. John Cessna, of this place.
We r-gret that Mr.. c. did not accept The ap-
pointment as he would certainly have made an
excellent officer.
Gz~IN speaking oftbe charges OF corruption
now before Congress, the Philadelphia .4rg2S,
says
Grave charges of fraud and corruption are
now before the Congress OF the United States.
First W. have charge against Mr.. Cullom, late
Black Republican Clerk of the House OF Rrpres-
entatives, for drtrauding the Treasury OF S23,-
600 in the distribution OF books TO the members.
Then there is charge OF bribery and corrup-
! ton against certain Black Republican members
of the last Congress, arising from the item in
! the books of Lawrence, Stone & Co., of Boston,
| of SS7, ,000 for passing the amended tariff act
then the private sale OF Fort Smelling reSerTa-
ton by the government at a price which some
! Black Republican growler alleges TO be- far less
than might have been obtained for it; and last
though not least, the movement for the re-expul-
sion Of the notorious, 0. B. MattPson, member
from the Oneida District, from the House OF
Representatives. Highly interesting view OF
things TO the lovers Of Justice of morality.
TnE FAILURE OF THE OUTRAGE CRor.-The
editor of the Albany .4rgus and .7tlqs is eyi-
IDENTIFY wag in his way. In late number be
roastS the Republicans and their allies unmerci-
fully on account of their deplorable condition,
arising from the late entire failure Of the Kan
sas outrage crop. Hear him:
''The Tribune pointed with pride to its story
of two free State men burned to death to- Fort
Scott and 'the hanging OF clergyman named
Stewart while Civil War; Siege of Fort
Scott defeat of United States Troops March
of Gen. Lane and ! 800 troops Arrest of Gen
Lane, Sc, brought forward by its colleagues.
VA these fruits of Black Republican culture, so
full OF promise, have been bligh,ed-nipped in
the bud by killing frost.
''Poets speak of 'the luxury of woe,' but
this is not question OF luxury. OutrageS have
come 10 be a matter Of necessity and the ca
lamity will deprive people of their livelihood.
What will Greeley do without his outrageS
He can SET up the Cry for Protection to Amer
lean Outrages,' and require of Congress TO inter
iere IN behalf Of this branch of home industry
but in the meantime what are his readers to do
without their daily outrage-their brown-toast-
ed free State men and hung clericals, which
they are accustomed to partake of for break
fast
ave know that, by wise provision, the
growers Of This profitable political crop, iIave
tempted TO extend it beyond Kansas and have
put Utah under cultivation. few weeks
ago, We had glowing account of murder, star
vaton, poison, and defeat, of which the United
States troops were the victims 1t promised
well but il peTished ere its bloom Yesterday
a frst-rate outrage was brought out for the dr.
lrctation OF the Black Republicans in the shape
of rumor that division of Government troops
in Utah had been intercepted, overpowered by
Mormons, butCherpd TO the number of 200, and
taken prisoners TO a large extent besides, and
the officers hung. This was most gratifying
evidence ofthr capacity of the distant soil of
Utah for the growth Of outrages but we fear
that this beautiful and eiioreScent specimen has
been brought out too late ia the year, and will
perish in the frost
''The contemplation Of the misery caused by
the failure OF ths great Staplr Is heart-rendlng.
Greeley may be comprlied to tell the ttutb
Beecher to tuin TO reiglon and Heaven knoWDs
to what eXtrenltIrs Others may be- driven in
mid-winter. We draw the veil upon the
picture, and wait for some phiIaalhropist to
propose Subscription.'
