THREATS TO ASSAsSINATE LINCOLN.
During the war, whenever President Lin
coin showed signs of wishing to bring the
conflict to close, and thus to stop the
thleving going on, threats OF assassination
were freely made, by those who in no other
manner could earn their living but by the
pay they received for commissions in the
army, or by contracts or Quartermaster
ships, by which they feeced alike the Gov
eminent and the soldiers.
A fellow by the name of n. A. Gray,
now residing in Cleveland, then holding the
Office Of Quarte1master in Negro Rigi-
ment, writes thus to the Ohio State Jaur-
nal over his own signature. His letter is
dated Hospital -at-the- Front at Petersburg,
August 2, 1864, and is published in the
Journal, without single word Of dissent,
on the 9th, seven days after its date. Mr.
Eincoln, about that time bad talked of a
compromise. This VIII explain the reason
why be was to be assassinated The letter
says:
II like the spirit of the Major, in com
mand of the Goth Ohio. When in his pres
ence the question was presumptuously ask

THE OVERNMENT PLUNDERED BY THE
thieves IN OFFICE.
Mr.. Dawes, Republican member of Con
gress fran Massachusetts, and member of
an investigating committee, ordered by
Congress during the second year of the
war, in his place III Congress, said:
The gentlemen must remember that, in
the first year of a Republican Administra-
ton which came into power upon profess
ions of Reform and Retrenchment, there is
indisputable evidence abroad in the land,
that somebody has PLtINDERED THE
PUBLIC TREASURY WELL NIGH, IN
THAT SINGLE YEAR, AS MUCH AS
THE CURRENT YEARLY EXPENSES
OF THE GOVERNMENT DURING
THE ADMINISTRATION Buchanan'sl,
achich the people hurled from posoer because
Of ats corruption"
About the same date, the Chicago 7ri
b1me, the leading Republican organ of Hi
nois, and so much favorite OF Lincoln's
that his first photograph was taken with
the Tribune in his hand, said:
"Where one dollar is stolen ly contractors,
tfre are stolen 6ypuJlic officers"
Dom Pratt, who has more brains than
any man of his party in Ohio, entertains
similar opinion, for in his Lqc-a cheek Press
I'VE never could make out what the late
and lamented Mr.. Lincoln wanted with
detective system at all. From the hour Of
his first Inauguration ato to that ofhis death,
THE THIEVES WERE ALL IN OF
FlCE. Excepting Messrs. Chase, Stanton
and Holt it vas impossible almost to lay
not made rich through his position. This

Offices, Honest men stood aghast at the an,
puniW WITH WHICH STEALING
WENT ON. All cries of shame and out
rage seemed unavailing. All opposition
was thrown away. THIEVES WERE
TURNED OUT TO BE SUCCEEDED
BY TIL lev Els, AND COLOSSAL FOR
TUNES WERE MADE IN AN HOUR
The amiable old President cracked jokes
over the rascalty, and said that in mis- ap-
pointments he had to ran has hand into
sack of .tttty snakes to tfnd one eel. Among
the later acts of the Congress that precod
ed his death was au investigation of the
cotton frauds, and out of great number Of
permits to steal, three tourths were signed
by the President.
"Wc know that any quantity of timid
men will demonstrate at this, as likely tom
lure our party. We think differently, and
firmly believe that the only hope we have
to hold our Government in the hands ofloy-
al men, is to expose the rascality and drive
out the thieves. To remain silent is to
conuiye at the frauds and to protect the
rogues.

In 1859, the Ml,ouakee Free Dem0crat,
in a long article, endeavoring to educate the
public mind to the idea that il was to the
interest of the North to dissolve the Union,
favored its readers with the following Re
publican conclusion:
I'VE repeat the assertion, that the Union
is not worth copper to the North in any
point Of view, but is perpetual sacrifice OF
