TIE humane Indian policy of the Gov
eminent. which has been 50 loudly sxtoll-
ed in the various Republican platforms as
successful and urged as = strong claim for
the support of the people in the approach
ing elections, is well Illustrated by the
following dispatch received from Chicago
on the 18th. We have before published
testimony on this point. and we give this
as additional proof that the humane In
dian policy" of Grant decentralization is
nm entire failure:

Concerning the ridiculous story going
the rounds of the Radical press to the ef-
feet that Jefferson Davis recently ran off
with another mans wife, the Baltimore
Stn says:
AS there is a class of people who are
ready to believe anything that may be
said against the Confederate ex-President,
it will not be amiss to state that he was
at Barnum's Hotel, in Baltimore, on
Wednesday, the 18th instant, which
would have allowed him about twenty
four hours In which to make a trip of
ssme 900 miles. Of course the story is a
pure fabrication, and a very d~isgraceful
one for its author.

FRAUDs, FRAuDa.

Scarcely 3 week passes but the tele-
graph announces frauds of some kind
connected with the Grant carpet bag ad-
ministration. A week or two ago a huge
plundering was told among officials at
Baltimore and in New York among the
u. s. officials it occurs every now and
: then. The investigation made last winter
by a committee of Congress was startling.
The radical papers and leaders when they
talk Of the Integrity Of the Grant Ad-
ministration" must think people have
short memories. The following we take
from the Pittsburgh Commercial Of the
I9th, a radical paper, and is only another
little waif in the same direction b

THERE is no doubt thAtthe carpet-bag-
gers and scalawags OF the South are pure
and unauthorized patriots. For instance,
the Superintendent of the public schools
of Charleston, South Carolina, stole the
annual appropriation of three hundred
thousand dollars. and the schools had to
be closed IN account of their being no
money to pay the salary of the teachers.
He would make an excellent witness to
go before the Ku Klux Committee. The
lie that he wouldn't swear to would not
be worth telling. 1-s4sr..tss sar.4
