The Times man says that the interests Of
the taxpayers and ofice-holding carpet
baggers are identical in having sums due
the treasury to reach it. .aa..
A carpet-bagging Blue-nose from Nova
Scotia satisfied the Legislature of 1866 by
his prstestations that he was ''trooly loil''
and practically sound on the goose ques-
sion, he having been an equal rights man
one year before General Phelps and eight
cen months before Butler, vide, etc. At
any rate he became an ofice-holder under
that lOyalest of all bsdies, the Legislature
Of that time. He ought to know what the
interest of ofice-holding carpetbaggers lie.

would be admirably fitted 10 examine into
the financial management of Mr. McCul-
loch. For the people, so unconscious Of
his tortuous course as of that Of many other
officers, should understand all It's incidents
and characteristics, so that their honest in-
dignation may hereafter warn those who
abuse their confidence. Mr.. WAsHBURNE's
whole. eareerni is to be noticed,
for it proves that sound princi-
pies, with practical ability, have advanced
him to the highest trusts. Born in New
Eugland-of parents who trained large
family in her best principles, and have
lived to see three SONS, representing at the
same time as many different States in Con-
gress-learning printers trade then
studying law at Harvard, and finally making
his home in the broad and liberal West,
where he has been SO constantly honored-
not shadow of corruption--never a stain
upon his integrity has rested, to this hour.
Nor has he used the arts which are gen.
orally thought to pave the way to office. A
rigid temperance man, he has not appealed
to false sociality. Pure in his private
character, he has been averse to fashionable
vice or smart dissipation. The power of
good name, be it remembered by our youth,
has helped to elevate him among his fellow
citizens. Although styled the Father of
the House" from having served the longest
consecutive period as q member of that
branch Of Congress, Mr.. WAsHBURNE is in
the prime of life, with unusual meAtal
vigor and activity. His social relations
are of the best order. In his domestic life
he is one of the most fortunate of men.
United to a lady descended from one Of
the early French settlers of the West, of
unusual amiability and vivacity, and bless
ed with the most lovely and interesting of
children, his home will be an inviting spot
to his personal friends, or to representa-
tive strangers from abroad that he may
think proper to entertain in Washington.
His ability to meet these latter personages,
not only in his native tongue, but also in
the polite idiom of European diplomacy,
which he speaks with great 1uency, will
be particularly agreeable to them.
We are unaware of bis preferences or in
tentions in regard to public position, and
really are Indifferent about the matter.
At this time the men in whom the people
have long manifested entire confidence
must hasten to serve them wherever thew
can do SO best. Such mar has been our
subject, and we therefore think that for nm
usual fitness and acceptability to the people
at large, the appointment of EL1HU B.
WAsHBuRNE as Secretary of the Treasury
would be the very best that could be
made. Under his administration of
the fiscal affairs of the nation, the
Treasury Department would be above |
suspicion, and the people, without dis
tinction Of party, would herald his |
as new era in our national
history. Do -'..s-s "ff.IT

The Times man calls Colonel Crane the
original champion of universal suffrage.
This is mistake. 1t was Crane who would
rather lose his right arm than cast with 1t
"a ballot alongside of negro. 1t was
Colonel Bigney who, when the Confederacy
was in big need, claimed equal rights for
colored men as soldiers. This was after he
fell from his prodigious height of ante
bellum Unionism and when he delivered
them an eloquent speech on presenting a
colored regiment Confederate battle-hag,
Our columns are too crowded to-day for
the speech and "poem,' but they were
steep. Honor to whom honor is due.

the Confederacy, and swore the same hor-
rible oath that Fellows did in order to
have the right to vote and run for Office

time with Mark p Bigney, and
they are now keeping the jank-shop
of patriotism in company. But
they are selling stolen goods, aud

Threatening is not cur style, but ws have
been very much threatened of late with

BE bet with as fifty dollars that be would
be elected Confederate Justice of the Peace,
which be deposited in the hands Of DR..
Hire, and We won that wager. Afterward
we turned him out Of office as Tar Collec-
tor, and appointed William. T. Stocker,
man who had refused the gold
pen rendered to signers of the ordi-
nance Of secession on the very honorable
ground that he had not signed the docu-
ment. We turned Crane out on account of
bis want Of politeness to tax payers. A tax
eatherer ought to be man of humanity
and suavity, like F. O. Mahan, for Instance,
is. When we turned Crane out in the cold,
he sought refuge in the office of Hon.
Thomas J. Durant, and was appointed Ad-
ministFator and Curator General Of the es-

through al the western provinces of China to

THE UNION LEAGUE.
Its Sixth Annual Report.

At the annual meeting of the members of the
Union League, held last evening, the sixth
annual report was read. The report commences
by stating that 'the members may justly con-
Rratulate themselves on what now appears to
he the successful issue of their patriotic mission
The greater objects OF the association have all
been accomplished. The military power OF the
Rebellion has shown no signs of life, however
since it lel beneath the blows which our Great
Captain dealt it between the Wilderness and the
AppomattUX. Slavery has been totally
abolished; the tieedman has been converted to
a citizen; and with all the dls advantages of his
new position, and the peryerse opposition of his
lOrmer masters, he is rapidly acquiring know
ledge, intelligence, wealth, and the difficult art
of selt-eovenments
ITO say, as is said by our adversarics that
Geueral Grant was elected on his personal popu-
arlty, OF because of his illusrous warlike fame,
s to state the case most unfairly, not only for
him as President, but for the millions of honest
and patriotic men who cast their votes for him
as the representative OF the principles tor which
their kindred had pershed, 1t must not be
forgotten that General Grant, with all the
serious candor OF his pure character, accepted
the declaration of principles made at Chicago
when he accepted his nomination, and from the
beginning to the end of the canvass he stood
silently but firmly by the faith of his party. He
is not man TO forget obligations even tacitly
assumed. To his mind step taken or deed
done has all the force OF profession in words,
and Carries with 1t moral covenant from which
be has no power and no wish to escape. We
conceive that the principles OF the Republican
party are those which most commend them
selves TO the integrity of such mind as General
Grants.
