'sPorty Thieves"


This term originated with the celebrated
"Ali Babba" Of the Arabian Nights En-.
tertainment. 1t was modernly applied to
fifteen years>ago "ring" in and abou,
the legislative capitol of Wisconsin. Gov
"Bill'' Barstow was called the head of il
and every imaginable Lobby-bid was &C
cepted by the ring, school-land stealing
railway subsidies aud the devil only
knows what all else, came within the
reach of gentlemen (?) who then had the
control of Wisconsin matters. To show
where the wicked of those days have land.
ed and how faithfully they exhibit their
old dispositions to accommodate their con-
sciences to the circumstances, the Milwau
kee Neps sets some of them up, US fol-
lows:
Few of the readers Of Wisconsin news
papers the past ten or fifteen years have
forgotten that the virtuous republicans oil
this state owe their original triumph over
democracy to vigorous assault upon the
friends of Gov. Barstow-designated by
the republican press as 1.-THE forty thieves u
Gov. Barstow, the chief Of the number,
has passed away-but most of those who
were peculiarly obnoxious to republicans
as the supporters of Gov. Barstow's ad-
ministration, followed the republican
party in its victory, and arc now leading
who was the embodiment Of piety, en-
ployed to support Barstow, fell so low and
so far that he has been found qualified for
carpet-bag congressman-of course, o
republican still. Matt. Ii. Carpenter, who
was Barstow's counsel in the trial against
Bashford, and his fright bower on al;
other occasions, is now elected to the
United States Senate by our radical legis-
lature. Judge Macarthur, the lieutenant
governor under Barstow's administration
he who yielded the gubernatorial chair
to constructive force"-is recognized as
q republican and was influential in secur-
ing Mr.. Carpenters nomination to the
senate. Gleason, the author and hero of
the Bridge Creek returns" turns up rs q
radical lieutenant governor in Florida.
Alexander L. Gray, ex.secretary of state,
was found honest enough to hold Office in
Washington throughout Lincoln's admin.
istration, while A. c. Barry, superintend-
ent of public instruction under Barstow,
is an eloquent expounder of negro wrongs
and negro equality, and in full fellowship
with radicalism.
We might follow up the record, but this
is enough to show, what we designed to
show, that the republicans of this state
either deceived the people as to the men
who then governed us, or they are en-
dcvoring to deceive the people as to the
character of the men who are conspicuous
in the support of radicalism now. Ger
tain it is, that the party which was thrilled
with horror twelve years ago at the sight
OF "Barstow man" have now most effec-
tually endorsed 1.-THE forty thieves"-ex-
cepting, of course, few such as Geo. B.
Smith, whose good reputation all the guns
OF virtuous republicanism failed to tarnish,
and who yet remains, faithful among the
faithful few.-M. News.

condemned at headquarters. and finally.i
after the unsuccessful assault on Vickst3
burg in May, an order was sent to General
Banks, then investing Fort Hudson, direct-l
ing him to go and take the command of the /
army from General Grant and assume it |
himself. The order was an imperative one. |
Nevertheless General Banks did not obey |
the order. He replied and expostulated Tie
considerations on which that officer based
his expostulation will appear when this
remarkable correspondence sees the light.
This much, however, may be said.r He
pointed out that for him to abaLdon his
position at Port Hudson would be tot give
up the key ofthe Mississippi, imperiling
not only the tenure of New Orleans, but
jeopar 1iZing our possession of any point of
advantage on thasvital water line. To this
rejoinder, came from Washington sec
ond command to supercede Grant, and
when the impolicy of tie step was
again pointed out by Banks he was severe
ly censured for disobedience to orders. The
correspondence between Gen. Banks and
the authorities at Washington, continued
till the fall of Vicksburg, when every scrap
OF paper bearing on the subject was spirited
away from the archives in the department.,
while Banks, putting the writings safely
by. kept his own counsel. The secret of
this critical passage in his life, was, until
within a month, unknown to him it SO
closely touches. 1t was never known to
General Grant himself.
