Another interesting day Of develop
ments must make great havoc among the
Jacobns -r-e a r-.N -
1t was surmised Yesterday that Miss
Winnie Rean, the young and accomplish.
ed female culptor, who has had a studio
for some months in the basement of the
Capitol, had fallen under dspleasure of
the blOodhounjs Of the Radical party,
and II is even mtimated that one of the
cells fitted by the managers was for her
special accommodation to-day. ...
A y'Il GENERAL MoRoAS's SPEECH
Facts have come to light TO arouse the
indignation Of the whole country. The
speech of General Morgan was classical
and thrilling 1t produced scene in the
Representative Hall not soon to be for
gotten. ....... .....
"A Republican member who is now in
his sea had gone to a Miss Winnie Ream
and charged her with attempting to in
tluence Senator Ross to vote for acQuttal.
She denied the charge, and the honorable
member then demanded that she should
influence that Senator's vote for convic-
ton, which she declined The member
then threatened her, saying that it would
be worse for her, or that it would be the
ruin of her if she refused.
She did refuse, and yesterday the threat
ened punishment overlook her. The
Radicals ordered her to leave the build
ing, had her statuary thrown out, and the
valuable work was broken to pieces.
...... WHO DID IT:
A demand was made for the name ofthe
member who had threatened Miss Ream
with Radical vengeance. Mr.. Morgan
said il the member would call for the
name he himself would give it promptly.
All hung their heads in humiliation. Again
it was demanded Morgan should name
the State 1t was answered the gallant
State of Indiana. The scent became too
warm to stop the chase A member from
Indiana arose and asked if he was the
party alluded to- Another and another
followed, until it became evident the gull
ty party would be caught. r.y,I...
.a..ra JULIAN THE MAN. If""..N
Finally, the inimitable Julian was forced
TO his feet, and in tone of refreshing in
nocence asked, 50 Am the member allud-
ed to p .y . ....
Mr.. Morgan responded, Il refer to the
distinguished gentleman, Mr.. Julian, of
Indiana. Miss Winnie Rcam is ready to
swear to the facts.
Mr.. Julian staggered under the blow,
and the whole party felt the damning ex-
posurc.
While thus protesting to expose the
corruption, it was crushing, to be thus ex-
posed themselves, and suvh proceedings
now characterize the American Congress
upon the eve ofthe great political contest
BUTLER SUSPECTED OF "UNBOTrLING' on
GRANT
SO damaging must be the result TO
Grant, that the shrewdest Radicals sus-
pect Butler of the purpose to make a
shipwreck of Grants Presidential pros
poets. ....... r....
He hates Grant with all the intensity
of his nature, and would turn upon him
at any moment with the venom of rat
tlesnake Many say there is no other
account for the infamous proceedings
which Butler is pressing.
... WASHINGTON, May 90, 1868.
To Gen. James r. Hawley, President of
the National Union Republican Con
yention:
" Informally accepting the nomination
of the National Union Republican Con
vention Of May 2lst, it seems proper that
some statement of views beyond the mere
acceptance of the nomination should be
expressed. The proceedings of the Con-
ventiOn were marked with wisdom, mod
Grafton and patriotism, and believe ex-
press the feelings of the great mass of
those who sustained the country through
its recent trials. endorse their resolu-
tions, and if elected to the Office of Presi
dent Of the United States, it will be my
endeavor to administer all the laws in
good faith, with economy and with view
Of giving peace, quiet and protection
everywhere AT times like the present it
is impossible, or at least cminentlv i'm
proper to lay down a policy to be adher-
ed to, right or wrong, through an admin
istration of four years. New political is.
sues not forcseen are constantly arising,
and the views of the public on old ones
are constantly changing, A purely ad-
ministrative officer should always be left
free to execute the will of the people. |
have always respected that will and al
ways shall. Peace, and universal pros
perity, its sequence, with economy of adj
ministration will tighten the burden of
taxation, while it constantly reduces the
public debt. Let us have peace.
With great respect, your obedicnt scrv-
ant, L. s. GRANT
