SURVEYOR GENERAL.-If the people
want to reward real soldier, one W ho
marched, fought and bled, suffering all the
hardships and encountering all the dangers
of war, let them vote for Gen. Wellington
FL. Ent, and elect him Surveyor General
over the Radical candidate Campbell, who
has no war record, and whose only evidence
of scholarship is his commission. Ifa SOL
der must fill the Office. let him be at least
q genuine one, and not q sham.

A ScArHING ExPosEl-W. J. Marker
an assistant door-keeper of the House of
Representatives, and an out-and-out Radi-
cal, has published statement in relation
to the conduct of that department, which
shows that for downright swindling Radi-
cal officials excel anything on record
He states that che called the attention of
several members to some of the more
shameful abuses in regard to the subject
but to no purpose" until he "became sat
isfied that this scandalous waste of money
would never be stopped. or honestly in
quired into while the present party was in
power" He calls upon the people, if
they would save themselves from the most
abject vassalage and dependence upon the
will of the moneyed aristocracy, to hurl
from power, with the ballot, the party
which has been guilty of such gross and
shameful corruption.

@The Radicals have been shouting
themselves hoarse because they did not
lose Vermont. Their majority in 1864
was over 10000, and now it is several
thousand less. If they arc SO wonderfully
jubilant over such loss they must have
considered their party to be in very des-
perate condition indeed. We expect them
TO carry most of the Yankee States by re-
duced majorities, but when it comes to the
great Middle and Western States they will
have no show.

More Radical Plundering.

A week or ten days ago it was aunoun-
ced that the several members of promi-
nent Radical firm in Buffalo had been ar
rested, charged with frauds upon the Gov
er1ment during the last seven years
amounting to more than half million of
dollars. On Tuesday, as fit companion
to the arrest of Commissioner Rollins and
Deputy Commissioner Harlan, number
of other Radical officials in the Post Office,
Auditor Generals and Public Printing
departments at Washington were arrested
on the charge of being in conspiracy with
these Buffalo depredators. Their MoDUs
opERAND1 has been as follows: When
acquisitions were made for twine, paper,
&c, upon the Buffalo contractors, it was
the practice of these Washington officials
to credit the contractors with the entire
amount of the rrquisition, though one
half the goods ordered were received
The profits, which during the time this
most scoundrelIy proceeding has been car
ried on, amounted to over HALF MILL
LION OF DOLLARS, have been divided among
these Government thieves. 1t is thus thai
the peoples money is stolen and put into
the pockets of the plunderiDg crew that
for eight years past have had nndisputed
possession of the Government Is it any
wonder that the national debt is increasing
month after month-that score of MILL
ons of dollars has been added to it within
the last sixty days? Surely the day fol
reform must sneedily come. or the nation
will be hopelessly bankrupted.

ical rule in Virginia: A traveller, few days
ago, stopped at house occupied by two
ladies only. In the night he heard noise
and went to the head of the stairs. A ne
gro's head appeared, and he shot it.
Another, and he shot that. Then going
down stairs, he found negro in the ladies'

examine and find that both girls lay with
their throats cut. "Let US have peace"
