Abuse of president Grant.

One of the most bitter, relentless and
unscrupulous personal Earfares ever wit
messed in the. history of Journalism is
that of the New York San upon Presi-
dent Grant. No motive is too bad, no
conduct too outrageous, no lmbecillty too
great fr the Sut to imputc to him.
This warfare is disgrace to the profess
sion of ieur2lism-an outrage upon de-
cencv, aud the editor of the San ought
to be prescribed by all journalists that have
any regard for themselves or their calling.
Did this warfare arise from an over re-
gard for moral or political principle the
case would be less outrageous; but 1t Is
solely instigated by personal spite. The
editor of The Sun, when Grant was a
candidate tor his present position, and
when he knew as much of the General. 5
habits and principles as he does now,
wrote glowing biogra ply of him: and
when be was installed President asked an
important Office of him, and was refused.
From that time war was begun, and II
has been prosecuted almost daily to the
present time, and there is now no PROS
pect of cessation. What influence or re
spect eau an editor expect who thus plain
ly indicates his auimus President Grant
may not be perfect man, but his ad
ministration viii iavorably compare with
any that has preceded it; and this all in
telligent persons know, such libelous
sheets as the San to the contrary not
withstandlhg.

Force and Fraud Rampant.
From the Hauston Union, 1lth.


Reliable information froM all parts of
tn. Thru District proves beyond doubt
the Democracy carried out completely
organized system of fraud and intinida-
ton in the recent election. In Lime
stone, for example, where a little su
thority is now being exercised, bands Of
armed men roamed about to prevent Re-
publicans from attending the election.
and even surrounded TIE polls. making
it unsafe for Clark men u cast their bal
lots. The same means were employed in
various other Counties Milan, Hill, Ma
yarro and others. In fact, there is not
IA Democratic majority reported in the
district which was not secured by fraud
or terrorism, or both.
Where it was certain that Clark had .
majority Of the registered voters two poll
we're opened-one for Republicans and
the other for Democratic voters in open
and fragrant violation of the CONSTITUTION
and laws of the Udited States. This was
only part of an extensive system OF spot
ting" Republicans. or, In other word
of ostracising them for devotion to their
country.
Nor was this all. In more than one
case officers of election we're arrested by
orders of courts with the evident purpose
OF preventing full test of the Repubh-
, can vote. Ballot boxes were stuffed
ballots snatched out of the hands of vot-
ers, and many other means resorted to,
with the design of showing the ''a--d
Radical" that the time has not yet come
for fair election in Texas
The organization of the Democracy
was complete. and its leading elements
we're money, fraud and the Ku-Klux.
Even church influence was employed, so
cial power was exerted. all the tyrannies
which white hirers of black labor may
practice. were not wanting in any nook
or corner oe the district-the whole con-
glomeration making the most disgraceful
canvass and election on record. And. at
ter all. the Republican st ength and de-
termination were so decided that Clark
is elected by a considerable majority.
That it would have been many times as
large if no foul means had been used
agaiast him is beyond question. Fair
minded Democrats make this admission.
But the election of Clark, proud as the
Republicans are over thunder the extra
ordinary efforts at defeat, shall not pre-
vent the use of all legal power in the pun
ishment of fraud and force. This is du-
ty which the officers of the law owe to
the purity of the hallot-box and to the
dignity and peace OF the state. It will be
discharged.

How THE MoRMoNs TAKE IT.-A
Salt Lake dispatch. of the 29th, the day
after the sentence of Hawkins for Poly
eamy, and the arrest Of Mayor Wells
and others on the charge Of murder,
says:
brigham Young and Orson Hyde are
absent. and not likely to return at pres
ent. Hundreds of people, principally
Mormons, visited Camp Douglas, to-day,
to see Mayor Wells and the other prison
ers. General Marrow gave the visitors
unrestricted access to their friends, and
by his courteous remarks and manner ln-
splred q much better feeling than might
have been expected underthe clrcumstan
ces. The arrested parties are quartered
in comfortably well furnished cottage,
and seem quite cheerful. A guard OF
soldiers march to and fro on the outside.
Elder George Cannon preached. this at
ternoou. in the large Tabernacle, to an
audience, numbering. at least, 10000.
His mird has, evidently, undergone re-
markable change, for be counseied his
hearers 70 abstain from any act of vIolece.
and to submit to the law. God would
protect them and deliver them from their
prosecutors. The crusade against them,
he said, would only strengthen ana giorl-
fy them in the end. Their faith was the
inspiration of the Divine Spirit, and
would endure forever. Elder Pratt was
lot so conservative. He Gid not want
auy whining Judge to say to him, as he
did to Hawkins, Il am sorry for you
He wanted no sympathy from any FEEDER
al official He was ready to go to jail for
twenty years, but not with pity for him
from such source. BE predicted that
God would totally overthrow and annlhi-
late the present prosecutors OF the Nor
mon people.

AT LAST.

The gentleman whom the Republicans
OF Missouri. relying upon his professions
OF RepublicanisM, esected a. \ United
States Senator, to serve ssx years from
March 4th, 1869, Is now reported as hxv-
ing jolped IN csnclare tsr the formation
of third party. The blood Of every
Republican in the State will tingle With
indignation ut this piece of news, even
though 1t be no surprise. Schurz has
been deliberately and cunningly prepar
Ing for something like this since his un-
lqueiy bitter attack. in the Senate, where
Republicans had placed him, upon the
Republican President. The design was
formed months ago. and has been sud
denly and very gradually developed, all
its marks constantly pointing forward
from the first to some announcement of
this sort
AS long ago as last March it was pain
fully evident to Republicans that the vim
d:ctiye onslaughts upon the President in
connection with the San Domingo mat
ter were inspired by purpose looking
Onward to the next great national strug
gle. 1t now turns out that Senator Howe,
Of Wisconsin, uttered the truth when be
said, In closing his reply to these on
slaughts, that the makers of them,
whether Willingly. or unwittingly, heed
lessly or desig nedly, were striking at the
life of the Republican party" Not with
out good reason did that Senator then
conclude his remarks in these suggestive
words:
''If there be here any one of all our Republican as
socates who has toiled with through the agony Of
the last decade but who, weary of the arduous
ice, thinks hs render his country better service
in some other political organization and who has
therefore persuaded himself that it is tmeor the Re-
publican party to die all that ask of him is that
he will take ot has colorS take his position in line
with the common enemy and strike like man. For
eighteen hundred years all Christians have shud Tered
the hideous guilt of those who put to death the
Savior of the world, but ali of all faiths, Christ
ian Pagan, jew or Gentle, have agreed that by
oursalvaton not any OF the noisy bigots who
went out with swords and slaves clamoring for His
life, but it was that sneaking hypocrite who went
out in the guise of disciple, who hailed his victim
by the endearing title of master, and who betrayed
him with kss.'
This is prophetic and just picture of
the perfdy since consummated by Carl
Schurz to the Republican party, save
that the outcome will prove to be of
comparatively little consequence except
to himself,-S Louis Democrat.

The .sNew Departure"

The "new departure" for the Demo.
cratic party which Valandigham just be-
fore his death, was chosen to engineer,
having proved dead failure, the redoubt-
able Frank Blair has been hoisted out of
the hole that he had dug for himself
with his Broadhead letter, and has been
set to work at another experiment OF the
same desperate sort. 1t is a serious fact
that the Democratic party have got to
depart somewhere. 1t cannot stay much
longer stuck ln the filthy mlre of its own
making, in which it has foundered deep
er and more deeply every year for the
last ten, 70 get out of it, anyhow and
anywhere, is matter of life and death.
The Vallandigham experiment was an
attemp6 to steal the powerful jack-screw
of Republican principles for the opera
tion of hosting the mired party out
The principles that were stolen for the un-
dertaking refused to work in such hands
and such load There was no oiling of
them-that was the trouble.
From that failure, the sinking party
naturally turns to the only alternative of
nope that remains to it (which is the
hope that some respectable prominent
Republican may be persuaded to lend it
a helping pull. Two things are necessa-
ry to the undertaking: First, the con-
sent of that great number of Democrats,
South and North, who rather prefer the
political muck In which they are wal
lowing, even if it is the death of them
and, secondly, the consent of some repu-
table Republican to become draught
horse for the Democracy. Blair was evil
dently the man to take charge of the
first part of the job, since Vallandigham
is dead. because he had won the heart
of every trairorous rascal in the Demo-
cratic party by his famous Broadhead
letter. So Blair is put forward to preach
the New Departure, and bring the
Ku-Klux Democracy around to the ac-
ceptance of it.
The probabilities, we think, are that
the Blair programme will be adopted, and
that the Democratic party will pick up
some sour Republican to run for the
Presidency next year. 1t is logically the
termination to be expected for its career,
and we are quite willing to see the Demo
cratic party finished in their way.-Buf-
