The White House and The Tuff-
cries sos

In some respects there Is a resemb!f
lance between General Grant and
Louis Napoleon The latter never
recovered from his invasion Of Mexi-
co, and-our President will never re!
cover from his desertiony of Cuba -
Bonaparte sought to retrieve his lost
prestige by securing what may. be
called his reelection through the
'splebiscite," and was hurled from
power after the surrender of Sedan.
General Grant also aims at re collection,
but he likewise surrendered in Cuba,
and will share the fate of Napoleon,
with this difference, that instead of
becoming a prisoner at Cassel, he will
return to private life. -Ti t-..5'
The same nepotism which brought
infamy upon the Tuileries is also the
plague of the White House. The
Corbins, Dents, Caseys and Shapes
are not called princes, but they enjoy
similar privileges of living at the pub
lie cost. The effect of the Presidents
accepting presents right and left, and
giving the highest offices to his per.

The War on New York in 1870,
sitt and on Boston in 1770.o2s {

Tbs war which General Grant and.
the Administration myrmidons are
making on New York in 1870, strong
ly resembles that which the old Brit
ish King, George III, made upon
Boston a century before. Troops in
large numbers are now. being sent to
New York by the Federal Govern
ment for the purpose of. in~timidating
its citizens and controlling the action
of electors. This was what the Brit
ish Ministry, with the consent of a
tyrannIcal Monarch and an odious
Parliament, did in 1870. They sent
the Red-coats to Boston, the rebellious
capital of New England, to enforce
the Stamp and other obnoxious acts
that were invented to Cypress and
inn o7erish the American people
So now, Grant sends his armed force
to New York, under pretense of en-
forcing an odious and unconstitutional
election law, thatis designed to secure
the same end. Our fathers of ITO,
met this military usurpation upon-the
threshold. "a In Boston and Massachu-
sets it vas openlYaIresisted. The
soldiers were compelled to leave town
and take refuge III Castle William
The whole country sy~mpathized with
the city, whose rights were thus inva-
ded, and the fires of liberty blazed
from the hillsides of Maine to those
of Georgia. The war prosecuted by
the British Government on Boston a
century ago was more honorable,
however, than that of our administra-
ton on New York at the present time.
That was an age of regal prescription !;
this is of popular liberty. The
relations between Great Britain and
the Colonies were ilI-defned ; in the
United States they are accurately
drawn between the. States and the
Federal Government. George the
King, in sending his military force to
Boston, had an excuse that cannot be
set up for our Ulysses the first, who
threatens to sweep The streets of New
York with his gunboats, and to take
the ballot-boxes with his soldiers and
marines. We in 1870 have feariully
degenerated from the revolutionary
pluck and spirit thas was manifested
in ITO, or otherwise there would be an
answering blast of Indignation ex
pressed from one end OF the Union to
| the other at this brutal-may be
bloody-policy which has been inaug.
Grated at Washington -Engtrer.

the late Empress; but the wives 81
Senators and Representatives who do
the bidding of her husband are invited

The chief consolation for the Amer
lean people under these circumstances
is that they are not doomed, as the
French were, to wait for war or rev.
olution to rid them of incompetent
rulers. They can overthrow them
through the ballot box. What reason
can they have foc giving a new lease
of mismanagement to a man who
uses his prerogative only to truekle TO

service reform, and stop the stream
of official corruption which is rapidly
sapping and undermining all honesty
and efficiency in the various depart
ments OF the Federal Government
The campaign committees called on
the Secretary for a list of all the am
ployes of his department, with their
salaries, IN order to collect flom them
a fupd to be used in promoting the
election. of Radical Congressman. He
agreed to furnish the list upon the
promise that the call upon the clerks
should be for voluntary con
tributions. A few days afterwards he
was surprised to learn of a circular
assessing one per cent. of the salary OF
each employe, coupled with what eve
ry one understood to be a threat of
removal against all who failed TO pay.
The Secretary then interfered and put
a stop to the robbery. The case was
appealed 10 the President by Chand-
Ter, of Michigan, Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, and other notorious political
hacks. And then commenced the Sc
ries of disreputable intrigues, which
have resulted in the resignation of Sec
retary Cox. The President rejected
the policy.of his Secretary. and ac-
cepted that of Cameron and Chandler.
The robbery of the clerks went on,
and in the late elections the Democ-
racy of Ohio and other States had to
combat this corruption fund, the levy
of which was sanctioned by Presi
dent Grant, in overruling the decis-
ion of Secretary Cox.
Thousands and tens of thousands
voted for President Grant because of
q. belief that he would not sanction
the abuses that h~ave-crept into III
political system, but would set to;work
to reform them. For a short time
his administrative policy seemed to
set that way But the first substan-
tial issue hat was raised on the ques
ton, the President surrendered to the
politicians. The fact is hardly dispu-
ted that General Grant to day is to a
far greater extent the mere tool and
echo of the front door and back door
politicians that hang about the White
House, than any of his predecessors.
The proof or this, In the HrSI pace,
is the company he keeps, his political
intimates-the Foreys, Camerons and
Chandlers-and secondly, the Cox
CORE 'pondence with the Radical com.
mittees.
We direct especial attention to
Secretary Cox's reply to the demand
of the Chairman of the Republican
State Committee Of Ohio, for a roll of
Office holders from Ohio, the amount
OF .Leir salaries, their county, &C. In
this he argues the Question of civil
Service reform with great farsc from a
Republican standpoint. We arc as
sured the Ohio Committee had moth
ing to do with the intrigue which led
to Secretary Cox's retirement from
the Cabinet, but still they seem to
have been equally anxious with the
Pennsylvania blood suckers to handle
the earnings of the clerks. Its a
great pity this letter written in the
early part of August, did not see the
light before the late elections. States

The correspondence between Secre-

Radical party, growing out of their
attempt to black mail the clerks of
the Interior Department has been

of the disagreement between the

led to the withdrawal of the latter

Dana, one of the bitterest Republican
partisans in the country:

saWe ask the Republican party o1
Ashland county, whether in sober
honesty they can endorse the course of
President Grant, and his tools, in thus
trampling out the rights ofthe people
of New York.

such usurpations, you need not be u
prised, if you live to sec the day when

The Democrats and Conservative men
in the State have won almost every

tainly elected in the First District by

side will be small
In the Third District, Hereford,

ator in place of Wiley; we will en-
franchise the twenty five thousand
white men who have been denied the
