"An indignant country demands it,
and asks why the carriage of the cool
headed, sharp, keen President of the
Erie road has been seen morning and
night in West Twenty-seventh street,
at the residence of the brother-in-law
Of the President. Perhaps the conf
Dental agent of the shrewd Prince of
Erie, who has, in the last two weeks,
made so many midnight journeys to
Washington, Pennsylvania, might ex-
plain something about the matter
The frequent interviews of the Admir-
al with Gen. Grant at New York, Sar-
atoga, Long Island Sound, and else
where, are very significant.
"Whose influence was it that ap-
pointed the present Sub Treasurer of
New York, after another mans COM
mission bad been made out? And
what kind Of bargain was made.

week or two?
"Who cashed the $10O, 600 check, and
the $25, coo check, handed to a member
of the Presidents family? Now, what
shall we say in the face of all this ter
rible evil ?
On Thursday the Both ult., the New
York Staa sent one ofits trustiest man
ayers to visit this brother-in-law of
President Grant-one Corbin, residing
now in a house in Twenty-seventh
street, in this city-to know what he
had to say about it. This Corbin deni-
ed that he had seen James Fisk, Jr.,
President of the Erie Rail Road, since
some time, when the latter called to
know of the whereabouts of President
Grant, on one of his visits in this re-
gion. Next day, Mr.. Fisk told the
same manager of the New York Sun,
that he had been in this Corbin's house
at the UeJy hour when the man of the
Sun bad called to see Corbin. The
representative of the Sun, moreover,
declares that he recognized AR Fisk's
carriage at Corbin's door, when he call
ed to see Corbin, and was put off, on
the ground that he was busy.
The Sim certifies to the following, as
relating to the disastrous days of Fri
day September 24th, and Saturday the
18th.
"While Fisk, Jr., was cody unlock
ing his millions and reaping immense
fortunes for the clique, Mr.. Corbln un-
fortunately held for higher rates, and
was caught with millions on his hands
when the wild day of Friday ended.
Fearing that Boutwell, might have de-
termined to follow up his sale of 81 600
600, with other heavy sales, the clique
importuned Mr.. Corbin to go to Wash
ington and prevent it. Fisk Jr's,
laws brown stone mansion, at an earl
hour last Saturday morning. 1t was
there IN hour again at noon, and again
from to 5, p. NJ. Mr.. James Fisk,
Jr., was with Mr.. Corbin during all
those hours, and at 8 P. NJ, Mr.. Corbin
hastened to Jersey City and took Gals
for Washington With him, the Her
aid has stated, he took a certified and
endorsed check for $l00,0 in gold"
Well it is asked, in the H5Fald,
"who cashed that hundred thousand
dollar check ?n
The man who, elevated, in chastise-
ment of a misguided people. to the
chair of chief magistrate Of the United
States, named y. 7. Stewart who had
given him one house and lot, to be Sec
retary of the Treasury; and one Borie,
an old monied fool of Philadelphia,
who had given him another house and
lot, to be Secretary Of the Navy-and
who used to try and swap knives,
while kicking his heels against the
counter of his fathers shop in Galena,
! ILL.,, after having been forced to quit
the old Army in disgrace, and having
| behaved so badly near st. Louis as to
force his wife to quit him-is not the
one that can pass by, in silence, these
! terrible revelations on the part Of the
very men and journals who promoted
| his disastrous election, Or, rather, we
may suppose, he lCiU pass them unah-
sWered- except he gathers up his i'll
| gotten gains, and escapes from the
country. We do not think that this
son Of Jesse has enough Of sentiment
long as he has Radical Congress to
back him, on condition of his continu-
ing its disgraced and wretched tool.
But what are the farmers and mer-
chants of the country going to do about
it? Have they, yes or no, had enough
of this kind of ''war glory?" Are
they so far restored to right mind as
to care nothing for former political no.
tions that have led to these disasters,
and to be ready to try and restore a
sane, and safe, aud wise, administra-
ton of public affairs, under the old
fashioned methods of the Democratic
party.
The infamous party propose more
hundred-thousand dollar checks for
Grant, and more taxation for The peo-
pie.
The Democratic party is pledged to
a retrenchment of expenses; to g re-
lief from the undue burden of taxa
ton; and to putting come one in the
Presidential chair, who will take neith-
er houses and lots, nor hundred thous-
and dollar gold checks, as the price for
