every Department of the Government
has been, and is being,run for the single
purpose of retaining power, The good

STOCKING, through the Custom House,
was fully proven by the Senate investi-
eating Committee Also. that the influ.

tinued in Office by GRANT.
The Santo Domingo swinlle, whereby
millions Of money were squandered, re-
ceived the personal approval of GRANT.
He went to the United States Senate and
solicited Senators to vote for annexs-
ton. He authorized the sending of
fourteen war vessels to Santo Domingo
to protect BAEz, the man with whom the
treaty was made. The people were rob.
he'd and plundered to pay the bills.
At the re"ent election in Pennsylva-
mia, the leading Radicals in the party, in
the State, employ ed scoundrels in New

by voting from twenty to thirty times

notice to the gold ring, in New York,
that he would sell 100000 of gold on
certain day. The ring took advantage
Of the information and when the trans.

wards paying the expenses of the cam.

The assessments levied upon the
clerks and other employees OF the Gov.
ernment, must be paid, those refusing
arc dismissed. Under date of Washing
ton, October IL, we find the following:
"Judge Dwyer has thus far in the can
vass made himself very useful in the
matter of raising funds in the Depart.
ments for the Gran. Committees, and has
thus earned for himself additional re-
cognition from Secretary Delano, under
whose charge the Bureau is. Dwyer,
during the past few days. has made him.
self very obnoxious to the clerks in the
Post Office Department. To day he
called on these clerks and openly deman,
ded money, not signatures, as formerly,
to be used, as he said, by the Union Re.
publican Congressional Committee for
printing, documents,p paying for campaign
speakers, and other political purposes,
and in cases where he was refused mon-
ey he declared he would secure dismis.

For his services, DwYER is to be ap.

These are int few of the thousands
of instances which prove the corrupt
manner OF administering the affairs of
the Government under GRANT, CAME

The remedy for the above and thou.
sands of other acts of like character, or.

and easily accomplished.
