GENERAL GRANT AND PLUMBER SCHEMES.
From the Cincinnati Gazette tradicar, Dec

From the Cincinnati Gazette tradicaD, Dec. 24.l
Grant, during his late trip from Chicago to this
city, remarked to a gentleman in company that he
feared the ''carpet-b aggers" would swamp the gov
eminent before ne could take possession OF the
White House.. by carpet-baggers he meant the large
congregation Of individuals at washington with
their pockets full OF schemes, the object OF which Is
to deplete the Treasury. General Grant spoke very
freely on this subject He did not hesitate to
denounce the business as puplic robbery and
the schemers as public robbers. 81 am not
In favor, srn said Grant, of directly or Indirectly
increasing the public debt while there is party In
the country that talks about reputation. Further
MORE II ia absolutely necessary that we should have
the strctest honesty In the collection or the revenue
ana the striciest economy In all expenditures"
This Is Grants platform. He makes no secret Of It,
The pundcrers know IL. They have been to see tho
President elect. Pending the session OF Congress
they asked him. with reference to some OF their gi-
gantlc railroad schemes, ii he could not favor them
TO remain neutral. In reply he said he would use
will keep his promise. He Will, furthermore,
mark the plunderers whether In the lobby In Con-
gress Now II the public desire some particulars Of
the General Grant referred to, desire to
get glimpse OF the plans cut out Tor the winter by
the congressional lobby, we refer them to the Wash
ington letter printed in this paper. In all these
schemes congressman are OF course interested. Let
the people keep an eye on Congressional movements
and they will be able to spot the rascals. You
need not keep your eye exclusively on the demo-
cratic side. In plumber schemes political lines are
not drawn. The corruptionists hunt IN couples.
Let us, n possible, bring public sentiment 10 bear
that win keep hands OUT OF the Treasury until Grant
gets into power. Then the Treasury will be safe.
