Mr.. Charles Grape, brother to the
Governor, and Mr. Alderman, sur
veyor, when returning through the
woods from examining lands on the
Sheboygan river, and when in the
town 33-4 cut his foot very badly,
disabling him from travelling any
further. His companion, supposing
that there were lumber camps 1874,
made the wounded man rs comfort,
able as he could, fixed his tent, built
him a fire, and cut goodly supply
of wood, and, leaving him all the
provisions, which were three days
rations, took only two "hard tacks"
and started for help, expecting to
get through in one day. He ate all
his provisions at noon, but at night,
when he reached his destination, he
found a drcary wilderness where he
expected to find camp. He imme-
diately started for the main river
but soon became entangled in a
dense swamp, and, through fatigue

on the ground without blanket or
tent, he was taken sick and could
make but very slow progress. AZ
ter three more days of intense suffer
ing he reached Erskine's farm, late
at night and utterly exhausted. Mr.
Spratt, happening to be there, took
him next morning to ComstoCk' S
camp, which was the nearest one to
where he left the wounded man
Mr.. William Comstock Immediately
started, with eight men, to the relief
of Mr.. Grape. They found him
without wood, and suffering from
his wound and anxiety. He sup
posed that his friend had either
persisted or was lost, and certainly |
expected to be left to die. He calcu-
lated his provisions to last him
twelve days, and cut his name on his |
gunsteck and the bottom of his |
book, so that any one finding his re
mains might know who lie was.
Having lain there six days all alone
since his comrade left him, he de |
scribes the sensation of the arrival |
of help as the happiest moment of |
his life. His rescuers brought him
to camp upon a litter, and the next |
day brought him to town. Both

INDIFFERENcE TO CORRUPTION

A1E~GAN6 ~ ~
These are certainly disagree able
times. We hear little except of
fraud and corruption in public life,
and the people speak Of it in such q
careless manner as to convey the
impression that everybody except
themselves are interested in it. 1t
seems on one hand as if everybody
thought there was absolutely no
remedy for these evils; and on the
other hand, that it was scarcely
worth while to speak of it, so long
as we are not absolutely robbed of
the necessaries of life. We are real
ly afraid, says the st. Lo'6s Repub-
iicaa, that the newspaper articles
which receive the least attention
from the people, are those about
corruption and suggesting the means
to suppress it. There were times
when witches were burned, and the
people did not pay more at
tention to such horrible prac-
tices than if so many moths
had singed their wings in the
name Of a candle 1t would seem
that the people have become callous
TO corruption. They are beginning
to think no public business can be
done in a fair, honest way; and that
whether we purchase new territory
from Russia, or build a new railroad,
or simply provide the necessary
victuals for q poor-house or work
house, somebody must be bribed I;
the government must be robbed, and
a certain percentage of the expense
goes into some scOundrers pocket
, IT the public thieves do not steal all
and il merely fraction is left of the
means appropriated for public pur.
poses, the people seem to be perfect,
ly satisfied a great many swind-
lers are even regarded as legitimate
and necessary expenses. The dis.
covery that one hundred millions o.
dollars, at least, could be gained il
our revenues were honestly and ju
dicially collected, seems not to hay,
made any lively impression upon
, the American people. They take i
as very important item of news, pre-
cisely in the same manner as they
would have received the news of th,
burning Of Pekin in China.
In regard to this seeming indilfer
ence, the general remark is : "Well
it has been so for many years, anC
very probably it will be so to tn
end of time. If our predecessor
could live in an era Of corruption
we, ourselves, will not die of it
and, as they tolerated it, we ca
bear it too" But here is the fallacy
This evil has grown to such larg
proportions, that the eye of tn
common observer can no longer 70
low it. in the past, only few me
were at the public crib; now ther
is a legion of forty thousand. 1
former times, stealing public none
was only exceptional and of an il
dividual character; today, CORFU
ton has been reduced to a system
and our whole legislation is its OF
spring. Money makes Congress
men and legislators; money CARR,
. bill through, or defeats it; and Il
position of Congressman and Il
passage of a law are only desir,
because the invested capital W

than any other man, che represents the ear
nestness the bitterness the integpity, OF the
radical principle" He has, moreover, ''writ-
ten good nl0ts, he has also spoken brave
words" and he has 'done, too, some
noble deeds" Naturally the arrest of this
paragon of political virtues fills the Tribune
with grief too deep for coherent utterance
We had supposed that General Siclles re-
presented the earnestness Gn office-seeking)
the bitterness Gin abusing the unarmed and
defenseless), and the ntegrity-especially the
integrity-of the radical princil e The Tri-
bune however, gives the belt of the cham
pionship of great moral ideas to Rochefort;
and it is probably right in so doing NJ
Rochefort is a person who deyotes himself
to the eminently moral business of writing
and publishing Gbels. With that prudent
discretion which is so prominent a radical
virtue, he has chosen the members of the
Imperial family of France as the safest and
most profitable persons to be libelled-the
safest because neither Napoleon, Eugenie,
nor the Imperial Prince can challenge him to
an interview in the Bois de Boulogne and
because he is secure from arrest while resd-
ing at Brussels; the most profitable, because
the prominence of the objects of his sour
rllity gives a wide notoriety to his libels.
Having displayed as much business tact and
chivalrous courage in the choice of his pro-
fession as though he had been a native of
hONell, hldSSacnuSeUtS, NJ. HOchefOrt dis
charges its duties with the utmost impair
tiality. One day he asserts that the man whom
nearly seven millions of his fellow-citizens
chose to be their ruler is bastard; on the
following day he politely terms the Empress
OF the French prostitute; and on the next
he reviles the young heir to the French
throne as the offspring of a disgraceful in
t1gue between his mother and some unknown
lover, whom the Emperor, with modestv
worthy of Mr.. Sumner, kindly permits
to share the affection and conf
dence of Eugene. The libels which the
miserable fellow prints in the LanterRe.
and of which the foregoing are favorable
specimens, are frequently too gross for repe-
tltion. He is as base and sordid in his libel
lous war against women and children as Gene
raj Butler; he is as mendacious as Sanford
Conover, and as utterly destitute of anv sense
of honor as General Sickles himself. And
yet, when a French court of Justice tries
this vender of obscene libels, and finding him
guilty, sentences him to a punishment lighter
than that which, i'll similar circumstances, any
American court would award, the Tribune
cries out against the horrors of Napoleonic
despotism, and crowns the criminal as the
representative of the Integrity of the radical
principle" While Grant represents the intel
lect, Sicllles the honor, and Rochefort the in
tegrity of radicalsm, what sensible man can
refrain from giving his hearty support to a
cause so well represented?
