AN OUTRAGE!N

EDS. JoURSAL: In the Independent, Of the nth
inst, notice an article under the above caption.
There have been many outrages perpetrated in this
country-even the virtue of young girls has been
nsulted. But this article, like all productions that
fall from the quill of the ass-istaw editor and
legal adviser of the Independent, goes at once to
show that the author is man of superior talent
executive, as well as financial. And at the time
of penning the aforesaid article he must have had
a clear vision and bright sky before him; for he
not only shows clearly (to himself the corruption
of the American Congress, in passing the bill ere
atng additional paymasers, but he does mOre-he
condemns the President for signing the bill. This
is stronger ground than Nallandigham took, for he
only voted against the bill But the old ",Jack of
Spades" has the bravery to condemn the corrupt
Congress, as hc is pleased to call it, and condemn
the President for signing the bill Tho old Blood
makes everything clear. Like Beeehers dog
Noble, he knows that something has gone in
there-but which hole it has gone in at he can not
tell
BY the way old Jack, it is somewhat singular
that so good financial man as you are has not
been called to Washington to assist Secretary
Chase in managing the Treasury Department.
but dare say he has heard of a boat that was run
across the river 10 avoid paying the tax BY the
way, how many boys have you educated at the
expense of generous public? lIaveyo ever paid
one dollar tax in the last twenty years
As YOU are managing the affairs OF the Govern
ment, suppose you suggest to the President to take
those brave fellows from "Sunshinc Island" and
send them South, and garrison the island with
crippled soldiers. This would save you much
trouble. You would not have to lay awake at
night peeping at Sonny's shoulder straps and have
him running all over town TO show them! AS a
copy of your article has already gone to the Fresi'
dent, your suggestions be sent on this week
1t will b. better, he could not stand so much at
one time. When he received your last, he called
a Cabinet meeting for consultation
You say, Return to the practice of the earlier
and purer days of the Republic when Office sought
the man, and not man the Office" Had you thought
of this some six years ago, the community would
not have been bored to death with your silly stuff
asking for one Of the household of Issachar to be
made Clerk of the county. Bat you can remem-
Der a later date better when your right bower
wrote letters and sent them all over the county, say
ing he was the only man before the Convention iii
for the office. Consistent oIe,cel You had not
thought of those "purer days of the Republic -
then Had you not been so deeply engaged with
the financial matters of this Government, your sue,
cess might have taught you lesson
Again, you say: 1t is humiliating to observe
for what pitiful prices some who have heretofore
been regarded as honorable, have been purchased. y
Very true--it gives you the cramp about "where
you live" to see so many holding good offices
while you and all your family out in the cold
"That's what's the matter!"
Had you not better turn and read the Good
Book? 1t will teach you how one Lazarus
received evil things in this world-eyery thing
was humiatng TO him-but when he got to that
better country, he was comforted and his humilia-
tors tormented
You appear in the same paper to fear that the
editors of the JOURNAL will compel the Democrats
to vote for Valandigham Now, old Jack, give
yourself no uneasnesS on that subject When the
ticket is made, they vote for it il they fit
Had you been 80 extremely consderate year ago
there would not have been a ticket in this county
with the name of NJ x. Waite at its head. You
thought the thing was playing fine then, and that
you and all your house would be sought for public
officers Not SO fast! The young man did moi
even go to Columbus, TO the Adjutant Generals
