A MEAN INsINUATION.

In his speech Saturday the hero
of the Calf Killer said: ..
NOW, TIL tell you something. | have
heard that more than 100000
we're sent here to johnson to organ
ize forces and carry on the war, and res
lieve soldiers wives and mothers. Don
ask me where it went to; / don't know.
But do know that not one cent of that
money ever went to the 5th Tennessee
cavalry. (Stokes' regiment). l know
that much. .
The purpose of Mr.. Stokes was
to insinuate that Andrew johnson
had corruptly squandered this
money. The infamy of this insin-
uation will be apparent when it is
remembered that a few months ago
statement was made by the
Sub Treasurer at Cincinnati that OF
the two hundred thousand dollars
placed in his Office to the creditof Mr.
Johnson to be used as a secret
service fund, he had drawn and
used but about seventeen thousand
dollars during his term as Military
Governor. This was published in
a great many papers last fall, and
if Mr.. Stokes had not learned the
facts from other sources, it is little
to his credit that he did not become
familiar with the history of the
transaction from this published
statement. We do not remember to
have ever met with SO disgraceful an
attempt to throw suspicion Of cor
ruption upon a political opponent
as this mean and dastardly insinua-
ton of Mr.. Stokes. 1t is disreput-
able to the last degree that a re-
preventative in Congress should be
guilty of so small an attempt to in
jure a man whose virtues he cannot
emulate.

SOME of the carpet bag Senators
are Disguised. In the executive SEES
sion of the Senate Saturday, there
was q good deal of dissatisfaction
exhibited among these Senators at
the very few appointments which
had been given to their section. A
resolution was adopted directing the
executive clerk to prepare a com
parative list, showing the number
each State had received, and the ag-
gregate of salaries of the appoint
ments. 1t was stated, by way of il
lustration, that Connecticut had re-
ceived, thus far, more nominations
for foreign positions than all Of the
six reconstructed States. These
sore headed Senators, whose car
pet-bag and scalawag friends have
been left out in the cold, threatened
that they would unite with the Dem.
ocrats and defeat not few Of
Grants nominees. But the Demo
Gratis gave them no encouragement

RADICAL PET IN TROUBLE-HOW
HE GOT our.

Gen. Burbridge, Of Kentucky,
was Il great pet of the Radicals.
lie was i man after their own
hearts, and endeared himself doubly
to them by his treatment of Ken
lucky Rebels When the Radi-
cal Senate refused to confirm Presi-
dent Johnson's appointments of
Democrats in the revenue service,
and in fact in any other service, he
was compelled to ell the offices
with men of their own party, and
this fellow Burbridge was one of
those who were recommended for
office, and when the President was
finally induced to appoint him the
Senate readily confirmed him. 1t has
been for some time whispered
around that his skirts were not as
clear as those of an honest
official ought to be. Toward the
close of last week it was stated that
an indictment had been found
against him at st. Louis on the
charge of having received brides.
The New York Tribune Of the 18th
inst, referring to these rumors,
says
The scandal about Burbridge has
been whispered long enough. He was
once prominent candidate for the Office
OF Commissioner Of Internal Revenue,
although the fact must have been known,
even then, to the dozens of United
States Senators who made haste to sign
his recommendations, that the gravest
accusations, affecting not merely his
capacity. but his integrity, were in
circulation in st, Louis, where he had
been sent ON subordinate duty. These
may have been very unjust-we want at
any rate to see what the court says
about them, after hearing the evidence. "
Burbridge was arrested in Wash
ington on Monday, on an indict-
ment found by the grand jury of
the United States Court for the
eastern district of Missouri, charg-
ing him with having conspired to
deiraud the government, in having
received $4,000 for his action in a
certain whisky case over a year age,
when he was acting as special re-
venue agent. On Tuesday the case
was taken before Judge Wylie, and
in answer to a question from the
Judge, Burbridge stated that he
vas native of Kentucky, had
