The Great R0bber.

This pregnant age, has been prolific OF a larger
number of scsundrels Of all Sorts than am PR
ceding one Robberies on small scale, ike
those of Township Treasures, are utterly insig-
nificant and worthless, compared with the sistn-
tic million frauds That detestable villain, whole
sale government robber and traitor, FLOYD, y
out in defense OF himself, against the report OF
the House Committee, who report him guilty OF
theft, aud Of treason to his country. He com
plains that the Committee of the House is az 81
parfe arrangement of his otficia. conduct. upon
er parte testimony, taken in secret, in his a''-
-ence 1t i. lsbosed attempt by inveEdo, aud
by means aud circumstances, in! the absence Of
proof. 10 tx upon him some unexpected coinpilr
NV. with the robbery of which he had no know l.
edge until about the time its publicity was dis
closed. he promises to meet the report of the
committee with full response. He is public
villain, and the proof is conclusive. He deserves
to be hung without the benefit of Judge, Jury
or Clergy-and while the Execuiioner is about it,
he NAV as well do the job of the Old Public
Functonary who has been cognizsnt of his rob-
ings for upwards Of year, and never so much
as spoke to him of his disgraceful conduct, but
on the contrary, according to Floyd's own testi-
mony, and to the best belief OF all thinking minds
aided him as far as he dare, liz executing his he'll
lish designs against the peace and prosperity of
the country Poor imhccile old man-it would
have been better for thee and the country, il
thou hadst never been born, as disgrace and
double disgrace must, during the remainder Of
thy miserable life cluster about thy path and APP
pear TO thee on thy dying bed.
The robbery of Floyd J. BIS late Secretary of
War amounts to more than sir millions IF dol.
lars, and yet the wholesale plumber Of this pi-
Gus Democrat, has entirely escaped the notice OF
the immaculate Democratic press, which goes in
20 spasms daily over S5U. eco loan.
The Committees investigation resulted in the
establishment of five points, viz:
l. That ex-Secretary Floyd WIS d's-'accfully
implicated in the robbery.
q That the President wa' notified of FIoyd's
conduct over yearago.
g. That the clerk, Baiiy, made the toll "i
the conspirators.
4. That Russell is fearfuly involved in the
transaction.
5. That the Government loses over s6,ooo, ;
600.
The report also shows what disposition was
made of the stolen bonds, and that they were
forced upon the market in all parts Of the coun-
try. The record of Floyds transactions forms
one of the darkest in American history sincee
the time Of the Infamous traitor Arnold, and
John B. Floyd's name, Ike that Of Benedic, Ar
mold, will be handed down to the execration Of fu.
ture ayes. In this connection let it not be for
gotten that Floyd distinguished leader OF
the late Democratic party, and that doubtless
much of his ilgotten plumber was used for polit.
zeal purposes, and in promoting the dark treason
for overthrowing this government.

CSFAIR.-Mr. Seldom, of Virginia, offered a
proposition in the Peace Convention few DAYS
ego, that the Federal ciEces be equally divided
between the northern and the southern States.
This is an unfair proposition, with the fact star
ing Us in the face that the southern States have
held two thirds Of all the offices for the last thir.
ty years, with only one third the population of
the northern States. If the proposition had
been that the south should have nine seaths Of
all the offices, together with the President ard
Vice President, We suppose that the thing would
have been fair, entirely acceptable to the Dem.
ocracy, ard sure panacea for all disunion lila.
