Gift EnterpriSeS-A New Swindie.

Two persons claiming to be attorneys in
New York-we don't give their names, as
that is just the kind of gratuitous advertising
they dcsirc-have issued a circular in which
they set forth that parties who have been
q swindled by schemes known as gift enter
''prises - can have the :" prizes justly due
as them as ticket-holders - collected by for
warding the same to these disinterested at
torneys. But these lovers of justice, and
hounds on the track of the gift-enterprise
fellows, these New York lawyers, while quite
ready to give their time and energies, and to
make other personal sacrifices gratuitously,
in aid of their swindled clients, add this con-
dition to their circular
This necessarily involves considerable ex-
pense, and to defray the same we are compelled
to ask of each of our patrons a remittance OF
two (S2) dollars.
The unfortunate holders of tickets in swim
ding gift enterprises will very likely receive
this circular, as these emihently unsclfish at
torneys are without doubt in partnership
with the lottery operators; but if these vic
tins of the first swindle are SO stupid as to
invest two dollars in this second swindle
they will not be able to say that they were
not cautioned in the FREEMAN. Those who
forward the two dollars can, however, console
themselves with the reflection that the fool
and his money are soon parted.

most advanced Republicans, and was an in
dustrious and influential, although not

Newspaper Change.

The change in the management OF the
Watcimsan and Daily Journal, as conse-
ouence of the change in ownership which we
announced several weeks since, occurred
last week, Mr.. Walton retiring from the
paper, and Messrs. j. and j. Nj. Poland
assuming the charge of the editorial columns
In another place we give an extract from
Mr.. Walton's 60 Farewell - He leaves the
naper after long and laborious service, IN
which he has earned a reputation as dill
gent and faithful worker in generaily
thankless and Improbable field OF labor
and, Judging from the articles In his last
paper. he retires while his faculties are In
fnll vicor. and he is as we'll able to discuss
public affairs as in former years.
His successors, in Judiciously written
Greeting,'' prepared, we presume, by the
senior member of the firm, gave notice last
Wednesday that they had assumed control of
the paper OF their future course, they say
Politically, the paper will remain sub
stantiallv unchanged. The leading princl-
ples and measures of the Republican party
we regard as essential the best interests
of the nation. Its record during the last
ten wears shows it TO have been inspired by
the humane and ennobling spirit of liberty.
1t had the moral courage to accept the bloody
issues of civil war rather than betray the
interests of human freedom or sacrifice the
enduring interests of the nation. In crush
ing out the rebellion, it destroyed American
slavery forever. And now 1T has set itself
earnestly to the great work OF maintaining the
national credit-healing the breaches made
by the war-and of securing the emancipated
bondmen in the enjoyment of all their newly
acquired rights, and lifting them to higher
plane of manhood. For such noble ends we
shall be proud to bear even humble part.
But meanwhile, we hope to be saved from
the folly of believing our party to be always
right, and others necessarily wrong or that
every political friend is honest, while all
else are dishonest And while we claim no
exemption from the frailties that pertain to
human nature, we are still determined TO set
our face infiexibly against that spirit of blind
and unreasoning partlzanship which refuses
to an opponent the same measure of charity
and liberation which 1t demands for one :
self
They have enlarged the daily and give
much more reading matter than has been
usually found in it, with afternoon tele-
graphic news and generally they have i'm
proved it's appearance very much. Both
daily and weekly are printed with new type
The weekly is also enlarged, by the addition
of a column, although the columns are not
so wide as before The Messrs Poland are
now fairly in harness. and we trust they
will find their new work agreeable. al
though we doubt whether they Will find ii
as profitable, as the Internal Revenue bust

Mr.. Burlingame, recently our Minister to
China, has written to Secretary Seward, Civ
ing briefly his reasons for accepting the
position as ambassador of the Chinese gov
eminent to the powers with which China
has commercial treaties. He had indicated
his purpose of resisning and coming home
before the government solicited him to take
the mission. He says:
81 may be permitted to add that when
the oldest nation in the world, containing
one-third of the human race, seeks for the
first time to come into relations with the
West, and requests the youngest nation
throug Oh it's representative to act as a medi-
UNI of such charge, the mission is not one to
be solicited or rejected
Mr.. Burlingame has salary.of $4,000
in gold a year. He was offered $4,000, but
declined to accept more than $4,000

MISREPRESENTATION OF SENATOR EDMUNr

MISREPRESENTATION OF SENATOR EDNUNDs.
The first reports of the New York papers
respecting the action of the Senate on the
attempted removal of Secretary Stanton did
great injustice to Senator Edmunds The
New York Tribune correspondent says
There is Il great deal of inaccuraev in the
reports published to-day so far upon the sub
ject, and in many of the journals Senator
Edmunds is placed in false position. That
gentleman introduced the first resolution at
about seven O'Clock, but it was not, as at
first reported, mere protest against the ac-
ton of the President. The fact is that it
great deal stronger than the one which
finally adopted. The resolution passed
is substantially in the same form as Mr.. Ed
munds framed it, but it was toned down
considerably to get the full vote of the party.
Then, again, there is another error in refer
ence to Senator Edmunds and the vote en-
the passage of the resolution. Senator Ed
munds' vote was recorded not against Mr..
Wilson's resolution, but against an amend
ment to his own proposition. and the vote of
twenty-nine to six, where Senator Edmunds
is recorded with the Democrats, was not
ia en- on the passage of the resolution sent
to the President, but on an amendment to
the one offered by Senator Edmunds, against
which he himself voted. The vote on the
resolution adopted was unanimous, no one
having called for the yeas and nays, or for a
division. Through some msconception or
blunder the Democrats supposed that they
were voting on the resolution, and not on an
amendment. The debate was at first loose
and general, but after time it was narrowed
down to the law points, namely, the law
power of removal and the law power of APP
pointment. These were the two questions
before the Senate, and on them the debate
was full and free. Almost all the Republic
cans maintained that Mr.. johnson had clearly
violated the constitution and the laws, as is
shown in the resolution, which was passed.
Senator Edmunds' remarks were rather brief.
and he took the same ground that he did in
his speeches when he introduced the tenure
ot-office bill. He believed that the removal
OF MIR. Stanton, without the advice and con-
sent OF the Senate, while that body was in
session, was gross violation of the law.

In Il service of forty years, embracing
most of the exciting periods in the political
history of the State and nation. it is doubt
less true that the undersigned has fallen in
to many errors of opinion, and has often
offended against charity to opponents in the
heat of party and personal discussions A.; but
he has never intentionally perverted the
high Office of editor for the purposes of NAL
ice or injustice to individuals, or to perpe-
trate public wrong. Rather his purpose
has been to be fair and honorable to oppo-
nents. and true to the public. So it has
also happened that honestly seeking the pub
lie good he has sometimes been obliged to
dissent from men in his own party, and this
may have been mistaken by some for per
versity, rather than genuine independence
and integrity to a wise policy or true prln
ciplcs. But in these instances, two of which
are memorable, he received the hearty sym
pathy and support of his patrons and fol
this, and the long years of friendship anc
favor, he now declares his deep gratitude
and editor bids them an affectionate fare
well. f. p. WALTON.
