Every Radical Senator in New
York Legislature who was bought by
Tweed & Co. TO vote for the corpora
ton charter, by which SO much money
was stolen and the people defrauded,
aud who was a candidate for fe-elee-
ton was reelected by the Radical
party and will take his seat ia Janu-
AIRY next. This circumstance proves
one fact beyond all boubt. that il mat.
tiers very little what radical does
while in Office, if renominated which
he can easily effect by money, he will
be reelected. The cry, "the party
must be saved" IS all powerful. and,
up TO the polls they go pell nell, like
a flock Of sheep and vote the ticket
clean through. Not so with Demo
crats. In New York they did not
preach reform merely before the elec-
ton and then go and vote the ticket
They went TO the polls and acted out
their profession even should the party
be defeated. La this course they
showed their good sense The Radi-
Gals however took good care TO vote
their men 10 even ifthe party had been
bought the year previous by Tweed.
With them party is everything, hon
esty in candidates nothing.

Chloroform is taxed by the tariff law

in Europe y l.2 cents per pound.
The wholesale price in New York, in
currency. is S4,00 per pound. The
revenue derived from this article by
the United States government Ia the
year 1870, Was sl39.50, Very little
of course is imported Ii is manuiac-
tnred easily in New York. and those
who use il are forced to pay four times
the price they could get for ifthe tax
was abolished. Tho government gets
no revenue from il. for it costs more
to collect the slS9. 80 than the govern

New York, Nov 30.-The Tribune,

ing il seems fit that there should be an
end OF Murphy. and we propose now
10 make it, IL then proceeds TO pub.
lish three columns Of documentary
evidence. mainly derived from the
files Of the War Department, in ref.
erence to Murphy's army contract.
The evidence which has come TO light.
il says, proves him 20 be a defaulter
to the government in one contract
alone 10 the amount of $500. 900.
This with $50, 900 loss on shoddy hats
furnished by him, makes Murphy an
actual defauller to the government for
over $4,000. The Tribune explains
that il has in every case published the
evidence against Murphy. not when
it thought il could have Il political ef.
feet, but when il could get il, and
that the present evidence was procur.
ed only on the day before his removal
and would not now be punished at all

ment, which make it encumbent on 10
to defend what it has heretofore said.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
A Fair warming 10 EyiI-DOers.

Fair warning 10 EEii-DOerS.
WASHINGTON, May A steady rain is
falling.
The President issued the following proc
lamaton to-day The act of Congress,
entitled an "Act to enforce the provisions of
the l4th Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, and for other pur-
poses,n approved April 20, n. d. 1871, be-
ing a law of extraordinary public impor-
lance, consider Tiny duty to issue this, my
proclamation, calling the attention of the
people of the United States thereto, enjoin-
ing on good citizens, and especially on all
public officers, to be serious in the enforce
ment thereof, and warning all persons to
abstain from committing any acts thereby
prohibited. This law of Congress applies
to all parts of the United States, and will
be enforced everywhere to the extent of
the power vested in the Executive
but in as much as the ne
cessity therefor is well known
to have been caused chiefly by the persis-
tent relations of the rights Of citizens of
the United States by combination of law
less and dsaflected persons in certain To-
calties lately the theatre of instruction
and military conflict, 1 do earnestly ex-
hort the people of those parts Of the coun-
try to suppress all such combinations by
their own voluntary efforts, and through
the agency of local laws, and to maintain
the rights of all citizens of the United
States. and to secure To all such citizens the
equal protection of the laws. Fully sensible
of the responsibility imposed upon the
Executive by the act of Congress To which
public attention is now called, and reluc-
tant TO call into exercise any of the extra
ordinary powers thereby conferred upon
me, except in cases OF imperative neces-
| sity, / nevertheless deem it my duty to
make known that l will not hesitate to ex-
haust the powers vested in the Executive
whenever and wherever it shall become
necessary to do so for the purpose of Sc
| curing to all citizens of the United States
the peaceful enjoyment of the rights guar
rantced them by the Constitution and
! laws. 1t is my earnest wish that peace
lnnd cheerful obedience to law may prevail
! throughout the land and that all traces of
I osr late and unhappy civil strife may be
! speedily removed. These ends can be
easily reached by acquiescence in the re-
suits OF the conflict now written in our
| per enforcement of equal, just and impair
| tial laws in every part of our country.
| The failure of local communities to fur
nish such means for the attainment of re-
| suits so earnestly desired, imposes upon the
| National Government the duty of putting
! forth all its emergencies for the protection
| of its citizens, of every race and Color anC
for the restoration of peace and order
! throughout the entire country.
In testimony whereof, / have here SCI
my hand and caused the seal OF the United
! States to be affixed. Done at the city o
| Washington this the Sd day of May, in the
year of our Lord, eighteen hundred anC
| seventy-one, and of the Independence o
