LOYAL LEAGUE DIsCLOsURLs

The Jackson Miss Clarion publishes
portions of the documents of several
Loyal Leagues, placed at its disposal by
repentant members and officers of the
concerns. One clause of the oath is
THAT I will vote only for, and none but
those, who advocate and support the great
principles set forth by this league TO Gil
any office Of honor, profit or trust in either
the State or general governments, aud
that if ever called 90 fill any Office l will
faithfully carry out the principles set forth
by this league"
The variations 10 the different docu~
meuts show that there were TOO many
cook" to this hell-broth, and the old
proverb is amply illustrated The late
Secretary OF one of these concerns
certifes r.
That the league is the organization Of
the Republican party; that il is clearly
understood that all members are sworn 10
support sll candidates put forth by that
party; aud that failing to do so, a member
would be guilty of violation Of his ob.iga-
ton, and subject to the pains aud penalties
Of perjury, as set forth in the charge at
initiation.
There are cue or more councils in every
county IN the State.
"The negroes are all instructed that the
oath they take binds them to vote for the
candidates Of the Republican party. The
election tickets Of the party are printed
with the American flag on the back and
the Republican candidates on the face, aud
negroes who cannot read receive these
tickets from a member of the league, aud
vote by the back Of the ticket"

gentleman from Detroit asked a promi-
nent Jacobin in this city how he liked the
National Convention Of his party lately in

Of Georgia, and few other turn-eoat Demo
Gratis, had one, and nominated a turu-coat
Democrat az our candidate. They run the

There is a great deal Of this feeling abroad
among the loyal" and it adds very much
to the apprehension Of Tylerization 10 case
Grant should be elected. This will help to
account for the lack Of enthusiasm among
the Jacobins over their candidate. He Is
the choice Of apOstates whose services the
party in power accepts, though all honest
members Of that party despise them for
treachery and demagogism.

toned, ofwhich Captain Ward is the chair
man. All the members of the committee
are Republicans, and nc man will question
the credibility of their testimony, as far az
it tells against the party TO which the
members of the committee belong. The
facts given are worthy Of more than a pass
ing notice. 1t ia important that the tax
payers of the United States should realize
them. To render them more conspicuous,
therefore, we repeat them in paragraphs,
using substantially the same language EN-
ployed by the committee.
The enormous estimates for public ex-
penditnres, to which The country became
accustomed during the war, have been
kept up IN many departments solely to
avoid discharging vast hosts of official
idlers.
The estimates of 1868, for merely miscel-
laneous expenses Of the government, were
five and athird times az great as the actual
expenses of 1860. -

by the Executive Department alone to ex-
ecute the acts of Congress, whose aggregate
salaries annually amount to over $50, 00O-
00O-those officials being paid from $1,000
$4,000 year each,
The entire expense OF the officials who
performed similar duties in the last year
Of M. BuGhanan's administration amount
ed TO only five million dOllars-less than
One-sixth of the amount now paid.
About sixty million dollars are lost TO
the government annually by the failure 10
collect the whisky tax.
About fifteen million dollars are lost to
the government annually by frauds in the
collection of the tobacco tax.
About fifteen million dollars are squan-
dered on junketing expeditions at sea and
elsewhere for the entertainment Of navy
officers.
By reducing the army to II, 900 men, the
people might save twenty million dollars
every year.
The Indian Bureau is a source of vast
and needless waste and expense.
The Freedmen'i Bureau, which Congress
has just voted to extend another year, "hss
done its work, ard should be abolished -
the sooner the better"
There are twenty United States Judicial
districts, maintained by Congress at a cost
Of four hundred thousand dollars, in which
the whole amount Of business transacted
does not equal the cost of maintaining
chem.
The official estimates for the expendi-
lures of the War Department, civil ser
vice, equal nearly two hundred million
dollars for the present year.
The West and South have now less bank
currency than before the war, while the
Eastern and Middle States now have two
hundred million dollars more than they
had before the war.
Such are the facts certified to by Capt.
Ward. Ia addition to these, the tele-
graphic dispatches Of yesterday inform us
that the national debt increased nearly ten
million dollars during the month Of May.

i9siq1 oFOR BURGLARY. - s-ih

The. Chattanooga correspondent Of The
Knoxville Press and Herald writes nno
der date ofithe 9th nit as follows "a
( About t~o-and-a-half years siree,i The
dwelling Of Mr.. John Roohs, bAnlsat Of
Flhis city, was burgiariously entered at
night. Mr. Rnohs and his wife were SLEEP
at the time IN their bedroom. Mrs. Hdohs
\ was awakened by the noise made BY The
burglar, and silently nudged her husband,
and awakened him. Opening his eyes,
Mr.. RuQhs saw man with lighted can
Ole 10 his hand, endeavOring to open safe
which stood in the room. The safe con
taihed $4,000 Fortunately, the burglar
did not succeed in opening it, and latter
rifing the pockets Of Mr. Ruoh's clothes,
which were lying on a chair, decaulped
having obtained about $3.50 from the poek-
ets.' Mr.. Rnohs, on awakening and seeing
the burglar, thought il the best plan to
make no noise, and both himself and wife
pretended TO be asleep until the burglar
left The next morning Mr.. Ruohs inen-,
toned the circumstances of the robbery,
but released to- tell the name Of the burglar,
nut asserted that he recognized him ID the
room, and that il was a citizen aud Ibusi-
ness man Of the city Mr.. Ruohs gate, as
his reason for moi prosecuting the man
whom he recognized, that he was afraid to
do so. Fear Of personal harm from
the burglar prevented him. Latterly,
however, Mr.. Ruoh5 has mentioned
to several persons the name of the citizen
whom he asserted was the burglar, but re-
fused still to prosecute. sAt the session of
the grand jury in thiscity, which adjourned
on Saturday morning last, Mr.. Jas. r. Ali
son became the prosecutor of the accused
citizen. The grand jury found true bill,
and on Saturday afternoon the Sheriff ar
rested the accused man, who proved to be
banker of this city, and he wastakeu to Jail.
His bond has been fixed at nine thousand
dollars, and be viii probably be released
on bail tomorrow. He is very indignant
at the charge his entire Innocence,
and is confident of being able to yindicate
himself Opinions are of course divided,
but me majority believe that Mr. Ruohs
must certainly have been mistaken 10 the
identity of the burglar. The accused with
his wife, were guests of Mr.. Ruohs the
evening preceding the burglary and left
at 10 P. NJ. Understand that Mr.. RuOha
states that the Burglar put both himself
and wife under the influence of chlorolorm.
1t is therefore probable that Mr.. RuOhs,
waking up, and still partially under the in
fuence Of the drug, might naturally have
associated in his mind his guest of a few
hours previous and the burglar
