What n Georgia Republican Thinks of
MIR. Akerman's RESIGNATION.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati COM
moeial intimated to Georgia Republican
at Washington, the other day, that Mr..
Akerman had voluntarily resigned, where
upon he was interrupted as follows:
Yes, resi- igned .-y-e-s, the he'll he did. l
know it looks like resignation ON paper,
but the truth is he was forced out, abso-
iutely forced out. and all because he is
Southern man. for long years identified
with Gecrgias interests. but as true Re
publican as ever deposited ballot. l have
just been having a long talk with him. and
he tells all about it. The Pacific railroad
rim. took a set against him on account of
one of his decisions. and they worked upon
other members Of the cabinet and govern
ment officials until i; became unpleasant for
Mr.. Akerman. But that was not all. Aker-
man had been rebel soldier in the early
part of the war. and that was being con
tinuaily brought up against him. He was
told that if he remained in the cabinet it
would weaken the party and injure Grants
chances for "a second term. The truth is,
the Northern Republicans and the Pacific
railroad ring wanted him out of the way;
he Is IA Southern man, you see. and won't
do. Akerman, being true and faithful
friend to Grant and the party, could not
think of injuring either by remaining in
office, So he resigned. But if they must
bull MIN out why not put some other South
ern man in! That's the pinch; they don't
want Southern man. All the use they
have for us is to work like dannation and
keep the party in power. I've been talking
to some of these Northern fellows, and they
say: oh, my dear sir, it's policy: policy,
my dear sir say, d-n such policy

Important Case in the Court of Claims
Attempt to Recover One Million Dol.
Iars-lnteresting Questions to be set.
tled-The Boston >Sb-Treasury Defai-
cation.

From the Washington ChronicleJ
George .. Shattuck. of Boston. was on
motion OF Assistant Attorney General Nc
Michael. admitted to practice at the bar of
the United States Court of Claims Oh Friday
last. Mr.. Shattuck, it is understood. comes
here in order to get under way the impor-
tant cases of the State National and Mer-
chants National banks, of Boston, Massa-
chusetts, against the United States. These
cases arise out of ~ defaleation, in 1867, of
Julius +. Hartwell, formerly a clerk in the
Sub b-Treasury at Boston. The amount OF
money involved is near a million of dollars.
and important questions are to be settled
by the courts decision in the case. They
are-trst, the liability of bank for the act
OF its agent. and. second. the power of he
government to refund certain moneys. The
facts i'll the case are not without interest in
financial circles. Hartwell, by his position
in the Sub-Treasury, was placed i'll control
OF large sums of government money. He
connected with himself in certain specula-
tions member of the banking firm of Mel
len, Ward n Co., named Carter. to whom
he was in the habit of loaning government
money to the extent of a half million.
When the monthly examination of the
Sub-Treasury was to be made by United
States bank examiners, the money thus
loaned was temporarily raised by Garter on
we'll, in order that his ACCOUNTS would be
square when the examiners were pursuing
their investigation. A few days after the
money would be again loaned to Carter.
This business was carried on for some time.
Carter involving the State National Bank
in his efforts of raising certified checks.
through the banks cashier. Charles ii.
Smith. Matters at last were brought to
crisis by the failure of Carter to get re-
newal of the loan of government money
from Hartweil when, by the latters con-
tession. the plan Of raising the money to
cover up deficiencies in his accounts was
brought 10 the light of the public, as we'll as
the presidents of the banks in question.
The government, however, was not the
loser by TIE operation. the loss falling on
the banks who had been robbed Of their
money hy the action of their agents, by
means Of certified checks. The banks now
come into court contending for the money
which the government has in its posS sson
through the dishonesty Of their (tlIe banks
agents.

Counting Out Candidates.

Col. A. 4. Mcclure, by far the shrswdest
republican politician in this State. has been
"interviewed" on recent occasion by cor
respondent of the New York Herald. In
the published report of the conversation We
find this among other interesting items:
'Q.-Coud the Democrats carry the city
of Philadelphia, Colonel 2"
"A-They have the votes to do 1t II they
could only get them counted. but you ses the
election machinery Is In the hands of the
Republicans. and they count the Democratic
votes or not, just as they please"
In this answer to the question asked, Col.
NJ Clure fully corroborates what has been so
frequently asserted by The Age and other
democratic papers in Philadelphia during the
last two years. The perpetration Of election
frauds In that city under the manipulation
of William 3. Mann and his radical associ>
ates. has been reduced to 80 perfect system
that the true voice of the ballot box has been
suppressed and the judgment of the people
set aside. This was notoriously the case at
the last October election when Mr.. Price, the
democratic candidate for judge Of one of the
courts, was counted out and the certificate OF
election given to Lynde, his radical oppo-
nent. One Of the scoundrels (BrilD who
was an active agent In this Ubiquitous busi-
ness, was prosecuted, convicted and sentenced
to the psoitentiary for two years, but was
pardoned by Geary last May at the instance
of the leaders of the Philadelphia ring. The
democratic majority In the Senate during
the last Legislature, In order to compel fair
count of tho vote. passed a bill requiring the
ballot boxes to be opened and the vote count
ed In the presence of the judges of the court
of common pleas Of the city. but the leaders
of the radical ring. knowing that If this bill
became a law, Othello's occupation would
be gone, literally swarmed at Harrisburg
and had Influence enough to secure its defeat
by the radical majority in the House.
Two things are incomprehensible to us in
Philadelphia politics. One of them is, how
radical election officers can successfully count
out democratic candidate who has received
q clear majority of the vote polled. In the
rural districts, where fraud Is the exception
and honesty the rule. such thing seldom
if ever takes place. The other Is. how 1t
comes to pass that political drab like Sam
Josephs. of ten dollars extra pay infamy,
can be nominated and elected to the Legisls-
turs nine or ten times in succession, in a
strong, reliable democratic district. Thereby
hangs tale.
The two political parties In Philadelphia
are nearly equally divided. and the result Of
the election In the State next fall may de-
pend to very great extent In procuring an
honest and truthful response from the ballot
boxes In that city. The Democracy of Phil
adelphia have heretofore been furewarned-
In the future let them be forearmed.

THERE is not a democrat in the country
who will not regret to learn that Daniel w.
Voorhees,, of Indiana, has expressed his de-
termina ton to retire from public life at tho
expiration Of the next session of Congress.
Mr.. voorhees, Is q man of brilliant intellect.
Of unmatched eioquence, and Is eminenty

tions. His constituents have manfully ad-
hsrOd to him during his long and honorable
career In Congress, and have borne him up
with their strong arms against as powerful
combinations as were ever organized to break
down and destroy any public man in the
democratic party. As they have been true
to him. so has he always been true to them
and to the principles of the great party OF
which he is so consistent and conspicuous a
member.
