thieves is thrown in favor of waste, corruption prof
lipacy fraud and every influence that tends to main
tain tho present condition of mIsrule. To these nu
enoes we are indebted for the fact that Andrew John

the whole host of corruptioniss their natural

tions to the least sum possible under
.Jobpson's administration, il found
that margin existed for reducing internal revenue
taxes. Accordingly repeal was obtained of the old
tax on manufactures. except liquors. tobacco. and
few other articles and in its stead tax of one-fh
per cent on sales of manufactures when amounting
TO over 81 900 was substituted. This relieves Amer-
can industry Of about sGO,OOO,OOO of taxes, under
which stimulus all branches of business will resume
their activity and enterprise. The remaining policies

The SANDER Repeated.

The journal in its issue of Saturday re-
peats the stale calumuy that General Nc
CLELLAN Is likely to vote for GRANT, and
that, too, after the editor had seen the pub
lished letter of '.Little Mac" which we
gave our readers on Wednesday, in which
General MCCLELLAN says that it is his
''conviction that the measures of the party
that has placed him IGen. GRANT, in nom-
ination are but continuation of strife and
can never restore peace or Constitutional
supremacy" and that:
"a restored Union of States and hearts
an invigorated Constitution, to be firmly
and faithfully supported; the maintenance
of the national credit inyiolate; a re-es-
tablishment of national and State rights in
all their integrity--and thus true harmony
and lasting peace-these are the objects
for which every citizen should now strive
and, believing these to rest in the success
the Democratic cause, by the election OF
the eminent statesmen selected to repre-
| sent the party, it is my intention to sustain
that cause as private citizen"
If the utterance of sentiments so adverse
to Radical policy-so true, so earnest and
so patriotic, makes man "as likely to vote
for GRANT as not" then no man can say
with truth, that there is ''nothing new un-
der the sum-"

PRESIDENT JOHNSON, while In conyer-
sation yesterday with several gentlemen,
alluding to the fact that his hands were
tied, expressed his regret at not being able
to remove one of our foreign consuls, who,
by vicious course of living, has rendered

he is ccredited.-W Washington Express
And thus it is under the Tenure of office
law, the country can be disgraced by the
conduct of its officers abroad, while the
President has no power to right the
wrong, without the assent of the Senate
which is never given, while the offender is
Radical.
Instances, within the last year, can be
cited of men, holding Office, convicted o.
Penitentiary crimes, and even while
clothed in the stripes of a convict, still
cling to office, defying the President to re-
move them, and the Senate refusing or ne.
glecting to confirm the appointment of {
successor, which confirmation alone woulC
strip them OF the Office they disgrace ant
| for malfeasance in which, they were con
| victed of crime and sentenced to the Stat,
| Prison.
Almost ever since the -Offic,
law was enacted, the American name ha
been disgraced by a person, representing
the country at one of the South American
States, who lives in open adultery with
prostitute, and who he had the audacity II
introduce as his wife into the most virtuou
and refined society OF the capital of tn,
Republic to which he was accredited. Blu
the man who thus in foreign country
disgraces the Republic that pays him higf
salary tc watch its interest, is Radical o.
the SUMNER and WADE school, and can moi
be removed. The disgrace he brings upon
the United States, is but as dust in the bal
ance, compared with the fact that when al
home he votes the Radical ticket and makes

GUss.

The Columbus Statesman says that the
Democratic press have not made the charge
of drunkenness against General Grant =
part of the campaign! Whew! If the
Statesman actually believes what it says, it
has either the shortest memory on record,
or it never reads its Democratic exchanges.
The trouble with the Statesman now is that
some Republicans are pushing the liquor
question SO far as to investigate General
Blair's habits noto-nOt what he may or
may not have done some time since.-Cleue-
land Herald.
The Democratic press never made the
charge OF drunkenness against General
GRANT, until after it was made by his own
party friends, WENDELL PHILLIPS and 9TH
ers. The Herald knew the charge to be
well founded, and it tacitly admits it, by
its silence, when the Plain Dealer calls up
on it to deny, if it dare, that Gen. GRANT,
when in Cleveland two years since with
President JOHNSON, was so drunk that he
had to be carried from the cars to the De-
troit boat, in order to enable him to sleep of
the effects OF his drunken debaueh. The
Plain Dealer proposes to prove the charge,
if the Herald dare denyi it. That sheet sings
mum. While in this city, on Monday Gen.
BLAIR was accused of the same crime, and
the charge was made in the Journal We
gave it the lie direct, for it was basely. will
fully and maliciously false, so much so,
that one of the Journal editors, not willing
to brave public opinion, which was out
ragged by so gross a slander on brave man,
in card in that sheet, not only denied par
ticipation In the foul libel, but individually
denounced it.
The same charge was repeated in tele-
gram from this city to the Cincinnati Chron-
icle. The correspondent of that paper in
this city. in published card, denied that
any such telegram was sent by him, or in
his absence, by the agent he left for thai
purpose, and the lying telegram is now
flying the rounds of the Radical press, an
illegitimate spawn, the child OF nobody
none SO reckless and so low, as to own its
paternity.
OF such stuff is the charges against Gen
BLAIR made, and knowing them to he
false, the Herald revamps and publishes
them. Let that paper, if it dare, denounce
as false the charge against Gen. GRANT
in Cleveland, and it will be proven. That
against Gen. BLAIR, in Columbus, we de.
nounce as one of the basest coinage of q
lying editor, false in whole and false in eve
ry part, and so known to our citizens.
The Herald, we trust, will now be salts.
