been bad in 1867, they were in many

CORRUPrIoN IN THE SENATE.

Mr.. Lawrence, of Ohio, made the
following charge in the debate on
the Indian appropriation bill, in the
House of Representatives on the
10Th instant: 40
Treaties have been put through the
Senate when there were not six Senators
present. Every man who participated
in a fraud of that sort is unfit to occupy
a seat in any deliberative body. wish
to God i could reach the Senate, and
the ears of every man in the country,
until the Senate should be compelled to
pay some heed to the voice Of the people,
instead Of squandering their money.
The Cincinnati Gazette (RadicaD
says: "Will the Senate stand that ?
VIII it refuse to prosecute members
of its own body against whom
charges of corruption are openly
nader We shall see - Such pros
ecution as the Gazette calls for
would involve shining lights in the
Radical party, and it may, there
fore, be safely assumed that no no
tice will be taken of the grave
charge made by Mr.. Lawrence
The Gazette insists that the Sen
ate, as a body, owes it to its dignity
and to the American people to in
vestigate the frauds and expel the
rascals." That is true and to the
point, but the Radical Senators will
not see it in that light, and so the
rascals in that body will continue
to ply their vocation.

RADICAL WAR ON GRANT.

Grants first battle in the late war
was Belmont, and the prospect is
that in his new position Of President
he will have occasion to remember
Harrisburg with no better satisfac-
ton than Belmont, for it was there
where the Radical war was opened
upon his administration. We have
heretofore mentioned the fact that
Gen. Knipe, a Democrat who was
among the first to respond to Lin
coins first call for troops who
fought all through the war, and
won the rank of Brigadier General
by meritorious service, had been
removed from the Postofice at
Harrisburg, Pa, by Grant, and that
a babbling Radical had been put in
his place. The Harrisburg state
Guard, the acknowledged organ of
Gov. Geary, shows what sort of
man has been appointed to super
sede this war Democrat. In its
issue of the 18th inst, that paper
says
The people of Harrisburg were dis
gusted, insulted and outraged last eVen-
ing, by the announcement that George
ReTgner had been made postmaster, and
we now obey popular demand by en-
tering a solemn protest in the name of
the Republican masses AGAINST this ap-
ppintment Gen Grant and the Post
master General could not, had they de-
hberatelY set to work to do so, have Of.
fered the people of Harrisburg a greater
insult than that conveyed in this appoint
ment, which we predict will do the
Republican party more harm than any,
thing the administration could possibly
perform. Several prominent and reliable
Republicans have appealed to us to call
public meeting to protest against this
outrage. This we decline to do If
such meeting is to be convened, let it
be done hy the right kind of men putting
their names to a call, and thus vindicate
the manhood and independence of the
Republican party, whose victories for
principle have too long been used as
sources Of profit by greedy demagOgues.
We fulfill our duty to the masses of the
Republican party of Harrisburg, whose
organ we are, by thus protesting against
this measure of wrong and insult to
them which is involved in this appoint
mput
