Party Harmony.

The Cincinnati Commercial remarks.
There seems to be as little hope OF
uniting the party as ever, and the
Republican voters will still be misrep
resented by the hunters OF the Organi-
zation. The old fight of Conklin vs.
Fenton, of the officeholders against
those who hold office, is as irrecon
cilable as ever. No principle is in
volyed; the efforts of both are con-
fined to the struggle Tor patronage and
revenge, and the whole party suffers
by the narrow aims of a few active and
aspiring men who care nothing for
political principle."-N Y. Post.
"There is q row 10 the Republican
party in California. The Presidents
brother-in-law there is unable to set
tie it. There is another row among
the Republicans of Wisconsin The
Federal ofice-holders there are &C
cused of being disturbers of the peace.
The row in Alabama betw cen the
Federal office-hofders and the Test Of
the party is in full blast. The situa-
ton in Louisiana is certainly not hap
py. The presence of United States
bayonets at, a Republican convention
does not look healthy. There is a
profound feud in Pennsylvania, and
Cameron is as helpless as Borie.-
There is a disturbance in Massachu
sets. New York and Missouri have
been thrown away. Half a dozen of
the Southern States are thoroughly
in the power of the Democracy. And
still feeble minded persons are telling
us that the Republican party has no
alternative but to run the Grant fam
lily for all the offices now in their pos
session"
The Commercial is a leading Repub-
liean paper in Ohio, and its dcspond-
ency will have a powerful influence
oyer the destinies of the party in this
State 1t. must be clear to all observ-
ers, that the Republican party is rap

The Wages of Royalty.

Royalty is, perhaps, the best bust
ness going, regarded from a pecuniary
standpoint. The salaries of Emper-
ors and Kings are for the most part
liberal. and no deduction is made on
account OF absence from duty. The
"eight hour law" does not apply to
these fortunate persons; and when
they want ga day out they are not
obliged to put a "sub on, in order to
retain their "sit,"i
The Gar of Russia has the most
profitable berth, his wages averaging
$685. 900 per day, or S65 times as much
as President Grant receives. The Sui
tan of Turkey struggles along on SlS,-
900 per day, How can he do it, with
his large family, and the inevitably
enormous dry goods bills-it is not
easy to understand. Louis Napoleon,

prudent, and has saved up something
handsome, which will keep him COM

The Administration has invented a
new word, to varnish The robberies of
it's office holders and friends. A tele
gram from Philadelphia reports that
the Sub-Treasurer there intends re-
moving the Treasurer of the Mint, be-
cause "his accounts were much naysh
fedr!' Such is the gentle official phrase
for plundering the public vaults, issu-
ing bonds. frauduly, stealing Treasury
notes, pocketing internal revenue, rob
hing the post office, swindling the cus-
tom house, cheating Indians, and 9th
er crimes, which AVE made General
Grants Administration q notorious
exception to all its predecessors. When
the collectors of internal e APP
propriated t~wenty-one millions of the
peoples taxes to their own use, their
accounts were 'mystifed to the amount
of one hundred and nine millions
of dollars by their own showing.
Of the fourteen hundred millions OF
ships, arms, supplies, horses, mules,
clothing, munitions, equipments, and
the like, on hand at the end of the
war, not a dollar of the sales is report
ed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
And when inquiry is made about them,
the answer is, the accounts are "mys-
titled" ' ""

Everything is mysti6ed, but the fact
that hundreds of millions have been
carried off, divided among Rings, and
used to maintain Kadicalism in power.
TO these mattors there is uu
uncertainty. The money has been
stolen, but when the books come to be
examined, then, like the case of the
mint man at Philadelphia, the sac

And still later, wild ~speculations, av-

Will The Next Vice President Be
a Negro? .sa.

- We answer, it is quite probable
unless we have a Democratic Presi-
dent. We hold it to be a self-evident
fact, that Mr. Grant means to be nom
mated for re- election. To be elected
he must secur the negro vote. The
negroes are clamorous TO have one of
their a made Vice President and
have, with singular unanimity, passed
over the best and greatest OF their col,
or, Fred. Douglas, and conferred upon
Lieut.. Governor Dunn, o.! Louisiana,
who is little more than n scheming
politician, of u school that is in no
respect reputable. Unless the negro
can be carried solid for Grant, he will
DC defeated 5eyond redemption. We
believe that, in all events, he Will be
defeated but his only hope of saliva
tion will be amalgamation. His con-
duct in Louisiana shows he is most
unacconntably kind 10 Dunn. 1t was
for him that General Reynolds sent
troops and two G%atling guns to New
Orleans. The friends OF Dunn are
led by brother-in-law Casey. In his
aid all appointments are made, and
without doubt Dunn will be the Re
publican nominee for Vice President.
Are the American people prepared
for this? There is no man in the ma
tion who believes that Dunn is quail
fed to discharge the duties of such
office. Since his election in Louisiana
he has been plausible, polite, adroit
and tricky. He hash short shown
all the qualities of those who, in sla-
very times were denominatcd "worth
less niggers." TIL design of Presi-
dent Grant is obvious. lie would
not hesitate to run on the ticket with
the old cloventoot if it was necessary
to secure his election, and he. would
gladly be the companion of Dunn OF
any other niger of the country.-N.

which settled on my lungs, and terminated
in tuberculous consumption. Five days af-
ter 1 was released I was weighed by the hos
