The Litchlield Sentinel points out one
instance of the manner in which leaks are
created in the Treasury of the nation.
Thst journal says: ''Hon. Truman Smith,
after serving in the Senate of the United
States for several years, took TO specula-
ton and soon got cleaned out very effect
ually. His friends wanted a place for
him; SO Mr.. Sumner and that class of
Radicals were adroitly enlisted in a scheme
to create new Court having jurisdiction
over slave-trading on the coast of Africa.
Mr.. Smith was appointed Judge of this
Court at salary of $4,000 year. His
duties consisted in opening his Court once
year, adjourning it Immediately, and
drawing bis pay" 1t is such expenses as
these, creating offices for men who have
been denied Office by the people who
know them, which swell the streams and
make the ocean of public debt, to pro-
vide for which the people are taxed to an
extent unknown in any country in Eu-

OREGON.

Too much praise cannot beawarded the
Democracy of Oregon for their plucky
and gallant conduct in the late contest
in that Commonwealth. In view of the
immense agencies which co operated
against the Democratic party, we deem
the triumph achieved by THAT party one
of the grandest victories recorded in the
history of political battles. The
oregon Herald points out some
of the means used to defeat the Demo-
cratic party First, there was opposed TO
it all the local power of Federal admin
istration VIGOROUSLY INSCRIPTIONS in the
use of means for the achievement of par
tisan ends. There was not in the whole
State an officer of the general government
who was not using all his energies to car
~ the election in favor of the Radical
party, and thus ensure the re election
of Senator Williams. Then the Custom
house at Astoria, the Mint at the Dalles
and the United States Courthouse in Port
land poured forth their officials, armed
with means to enter the contest and gain
voters by fair Cor foul play. These men
traversed the State in all directions, and
doubtless produced a considerable impress
sion. Senator Williams own money and
that of the National Central Commit
tee of the Radical party constituted an
other large item in the n10terieL of the con-
1ict. About fifty or seventy five thou
sand dollars of such money was dis
tributed through the State in the shape of
local corruption funds, to be used for the
election of all the Williams candidates,
but especially of those seeking seats in
the Legislature. To these advantages
must be added the exertions of one Holla-
day, who, with from five to eight hundred
employees on his railroad, and with two or
three hundred thousand dollars to be used in
buying votes, used al these means in the
most open and sCandalous manner in be-
half of the success of the Radical party.
But none of those movements inundated
or disheartenod the indomitable DemOcra-
cy of Oregon. They had good candidates
and pure record, and with these they
conquered in the unequal fight AL

VIZ used to hear good deal about
the slsve-aristocracy, before the war.
Here is a confession in regard to the
money-aristocracy of New England,
which beats anything we ever had from
the "slave-aristocracy" The New York
Standard, Radical paper, says:
agriculture is a lost art in many parts
of New England. The whole State of
Rhode Island is q succession of barren,
unsightly hills and huge chimney stacks.
The laboring man is despised, and both
political parties join in DISTINGUISHING an
Irish workingman because he is an Irish
workingman. New England is fast be-
coming copy of Old England; there is
the same oppression of factory operatives,
the same hatred of the Irish character.
the same want of broad and generous
policy"
1t is all bosh to talk about Democrats
DISTINGUISHING Irishmen; but the confess
sion of the Radical organ shows how the
money-aristocracy of New England is
grinding the poor people to powder.

3 GRANTS itching palm must be source
of great chagrin to the really respectable
portion of the Republican party. The
latest project to buy him $50, 900 paid
up life insurance policy seemed the yer
height of mendicant pertinacity, and
fairly broke down the patience of his sup
porters. The New York Post edited by
VIM c. Bryant, and an answering sup
porter of the Grant administration, made
haste to denounce the report as a false
hood, and insisted that it had not shad-
ow of truth. But in day or two the
Post took it all back, and said:
SIT is reported to us, on what we
belive to be trustworthy, that there is this
foundation for the report that q paid-up
insurance policy for fifty thousand dollars
was to be given to the President: 1t is
said that General Horace Porter, one of
the Presidents secretaries, and Mr.. James
Wheeler his brother-in-law have been for
some time soliciting subscriptions to this
end; also, that in Philadelphia ten thou
sand dollars were subscribed; and that in
this city nearly dozen subscriptions
were obtained, and among them that of
Collector Grinnell."
Since then the amount has been made
up by subscription by those who hold
Office and those who are on the look out
for places. What an incident for the
historian of the Grant administration.

ARaDICAL ON RADICALS.

1t is said that confession is good for
the soul" As there is high authority for
this thought, no one will question the
truth of it; but the confession of the
Chicago Tribune, the leading Radical
organ in the Northwest, which we pub
lish below, would seem to be promising
of anything but sweet repose to the sol
of the Radical party, provided the orthc-
dox theory of rewards and punishments
of deeds done in the flesh be true. Listen
to the confession of the Radical organ:
''Much of the present Congress is Repub-
lican only in name and organization. The
purposes for which the party was organ
lied, and the spirit which animated it,
are retained by a minority of the Republi-
cans in Congress only. The Republican
party was the party of free homesteads,
but this Congress has swept down the
homestead system, and substituted the
land monopoly system. The Republican
party was the party of no section, but of
rational freedom; this party considers
Pennsylvania to be the Union, and insula-
ton to be enlightenment. The Republi-
can party was the party of all, and an
equal chance for them all; but this Con-
gress has represented few, and they not
those whose daily cry is: what shah we
eat and what shall we drink, and where
withal shall we be ciothedf' The Repub-
lican party set up new man as the type
of the State, and asked that he be unre-
strained in his industries, adventures, and
enterprises, and he be left free 10 estab-
lish confederscies of free men like himself
il his own way; the majority in Congress
would create State modelled upon his
own pet theories and private interests,
and compel the man to inhabit it and con-
form to it. This is the Republicanism of
a majority of Congress- set of inven
tive bureaucrats, and a-'mice' in every
drawer of the bureau"

"Much viii depend upon the action of
Congress and the acts which it can con-

nation. Senator Sumner is as keen an
observer of political effects as any states
man in this country, and his views upon
the income tax represent the opinions of
nine-tenths of the Republicans of Massa-
