1t is admitted by such men as Trumbull,
Tipton and Greeley, that the great body OF
the Republican party support Grant, but
it is this fact 10 which they object. insist
ing that this great body of the people ought
to submit to themselves to their dictation.
Those who say that If General Grant
would withdraw he would give peace to the
party, confess that their dissatisfaction Ia
wholly personal, and Invite a campaign the
character of which will show that there is
no real reason for . change.

THE impression prevails quite generally,
that public dcfalca Ii ons are rapidly on the
increase in our country With the Dele
ware County Republican we dissent from
this opinion. Formerly defalcations were
covered up, and did not see the light, and
therefore but little was said about them.
While the Democratic party was in power,
SO many Of its members were engaged in
pcculations, that but few of them were eX-
posed. During Mr.. Buchanau's admins
tration, when dishonesty eliminated, it
was scarcely considered an offence to steal
from the public crib, and defaulters were
numerous in almost every branch of the
Government and when Mr.. Lincoln came
into Office, the treasury had been depleted
Of nearly its last dollar. From the day
that Lincoln took the helm, honesty was
recognized in the conduct Of public affairs.
While the war continued, there was much
cheating by goyernmhnt contractors, but
defaulters were comparative rare in the
public service. During Johnson's term,
the appropriation Of the government
moneys became common, and debauchery
prevailed everywhere.
On Grants accession he determined that
none but honest nen should hold positions
under him, and nc announced his intention
to light it out on that line.n If the di-
relictions of those who have the dspensin g
of the public funds seems TO be on the in
crease, il is because an energetic Govern
ment drags their doings into light and we
See them. The Republican party does not
seek 10 cover the acts Of unfaithful servants
and This is ouf hope, or sign OF real ad-
yancement. Exposure corrects error and
prevents crime. Meet punishment for Of
tenders is our next step in reform. Our
courts must deal with that class of offend
ers as with any other, and rs soon as
plunderer is properly punished, others will
he deferred from committing n like wrong.
The present administration will be honored
for its fearless exposure and correction of
wrong doing; and should the work now
begun be carried on, our public affairs will
be conducted on the general principles of
common. honesty, and our country be as
noted for the uprghtness and integrity of
its officers, as II is now for its enterprise
and power.-Ifest Chester Record

THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. The
Miners Journal (whose editor is well known
to be uncompromisingly hostile to all cor
rupt doings, and to pntairness generally in
politics) says "We have read the com
ments of the different papers, in all their
phases, on the State Ticket-and judging
of the character Of these comments from
their different standponts, we have come
to the conclusion that no ticket has been
presented to the people Of Pennsylvania
that is so strong, taken together, as the one
nominated at the Republican Convention
at Harrisburg. Notwithstanding the com
ments of several dissatisfied papers, the
men nominated do not belong to either OF
the factions that have heretofore divided
the State at times, aud VIC might add dis
astrously. Neither the Cameron, or the
Curtin men succeeded in nominating their
peculiar candidates, while the friends OF
both have acquiesced in the nomination OF
the ticket and will give it their hearty sup
port. II is more free from what are termed
Ring nominations than any ticket present
ed 10 the people Of the Stale for, many
years, and therefore all opponents of Rings
can cordially unite in its support" ...,.''.

hands and at the same time the body of
the rascally Spanish mate came tumb-
ling down into the water between the
two vessels by shot from Haywood's
pistol. At the moment he was shot the
mates musket went off and the ball
striking Sinclair in the right arm
caused him to drop the axe. | jumped
out on deck and seizing the axe, which
fortunately did not fall overheard, with
one blow succeeded in parting the rope.
Another shot rang close in my ears, and
with yell another Spaniard who had
run aft on the cutter and was about TO
fire on me, tumbled to the deck by
shot from Sinclair's pistol. We now
jumped as quickly as possible into the
hold, and Haywood, having fastened the
wheel straight ahead, squatted below
the guards of the pilot house. We were
none too quick, for volley of musketry
from the Spaniards ratified above our
heads. Then we heard orders in Span
ish to bring the brass gun to bear upon
us, and a minute afterward we heard
heavy and protracted cursing and
swearing. | dislike very much to hear
swearing, but must confess that the
cursing of those Spaniards when they
found their gun spiked and useless was
music sweet in my ears. They gave us
another volley of musketry, most of
the shots of which fell short. We were
now safe and standing out upon deck
we shouted back our derision and def
ance and made our steam whistle scream
when our voices could no longer be
heard by our captors. We headed
straight for the port in Cuba from
which we had set out. Capt. Sinclairs
arm, though painful (the ball having
passed between the bones of the fore
arm) healed rapidly and he was not at
any time obliged to lay up on account
of the wound. We reached our destina-
ton without any accident, gave up the
tug, got our passports and left on the
first steamer for New Orleans. AS we
were passing out of the harbor we met
the cutter coming in and passing close
by her could not refrain from hailing
the Captain thereof and asking
him if he had his gun unspiked yet.
His only reply vas volley of impreca-
tions and shaking his sword at us. We
reached New Orleans in due time and
| returned first to Capt. Sinclair's plan
tation and from there to Memphis. |
afterward met Col. Haywood in the
city and he told me that the Spaniards
returned to the Island, and dug up al
most the entire side of it in search of
the treasure, which they finally found,
and which consisted of Peruvian gold
coins of about seventy-fve thousand
dollars value in United States currency.

this adventure, still ! do not regret it.
When think how | had to pull off my
boots and give up that bright gold
(about fifteen hundred dollars), I take
a grim satisfaction in picturing to my
self the Spanish mate tumbling into
the sea from the shot of Haywood's pis-
tol. My ankle still shows the scar
where that hard gold rubbed and chafed
it during the walk from the place where
we found the gold to the tug. All
things considered, do not think that

hunt for pirates gold in the West India
Islands.

How to Obtain an Unprejudiced Jury.

1t would be interesting to know how
a Jury is to be obtained to try Stokes
for the murder of Fisk. If there is any
man in New York possessing sufficient
intelligence to serve as juror who
has not read the affair in the news
papers, it is to be hoped that he has
enough selfrespect to deny it, even if
that should involve perjury. How then
are twelve good men and true to be
gathered into the jury box? The diff.
culties Of these are increasing. and
threaten ere long to block the machinery
of justice, unless some remedy is de-
vised. The only system that promises
TO meet the emergency is for the
courts to have a special panel of two or
three dozen men on hand all the time
and keep them under the influence of
an anssthetic until their services are
required to answer a conundrum OF
Guilty or not guilty."-Chieago Tines.
