4 Chapter Of Robberies- Radicals Stealing
Everywhere,

The list of Radical frauds is appalling
All around there seem to be leakages. The
object Of large number of Radical officials is
to get as much of the peoples money into
their own pockets as possible. Stealing seems
to be the order of the day. Inspect this list,
and ask yourselves whether the party in pow
er is worthy Of your confidence. And this is
but a partial list:
l. There was stolen by Revenue Collectors,
up to the 18th of February, 1871, according
to MIR. Boutwell's official statement to Con-
gress the sum Of $40 ,7QO,783 33,. Not ore of
these defaulters has been prosecuted or called
to account.
g. The government vessel Golden Rule, =
bearing 100000 of government treasure
was wrecked in the West Iudies and the mon
ey stolen. President Grant afterward ap-
pointed the chief pirate engaged in this bus
mess to high Office in Washington
g. By the conrivance of Radical members
of Congress, George Chorpening, mail con-
tractor, was allowed fraudulent claim of
$500, 900 for services he never performed.
4. j. Ledyard Hodge, paymaster in the
army, according to his OWE published confess
oiOu, oto1V 1AioiC CAau p1OV,oVV AAom IuS SoF
eminent. He is now staying quietly at his
house No. 1923 K street, Washington, with
none to modest him or make him afraid.
S. George 0. Evans, Special Agent of the
State of Pennsylvania, robbed the Treasury
Of $685., 523 IS, and the Radical State Off
Gals allowed him to escape arrest.
g. Gen. Whitaker, Postmaster at Hart
for, Connecticut, embezzed in the neighbour
hood of 800, 900. He is still continued as
Postmaster by President Grant.
Z. John w. Norton, Assistant Postmaster
of N ew York, is defaulter to the amount of
$4,000. He is yet at large and likely to
remain so.
AS we have already said this is but small
portion Of the robberies committed. What
is yet to come to the surface no man can con-
lecture. Let every taxpayer look at the sum
total in the following:

following method Of making peache grow with
out stones: Turn the tops OF the trees down
cut off the ends, stick them into the the ground,
and tasten them so with stakes III a year or
two these tops will take root; when well rooted;
cut off the branches connecting. these reversed
and rooted branches with the tree proper,
and this reversed peach tree will produce fine
peaches without stones.' The same expert
ment may be tried with plums, cherries and
