CsrrEptianlsts Going Home:

1t is not doubted or denied that the Demo-
cratic party is the most corrupt political or
ganizaton that ever existed in this country.
Besides its disloyalty shewn as clearly since
the close Of the rebellion as i'll beginning it,
the party is inherently corrupt and dishonest.
That is history. But if by universal assent
the Democratic party has been so corrupt
from its birth what must be its character
now, since every Republican dcfaulter, swim
dler, removed oflice-holder, disappointed Of
fce-huntcr, and the whole gang Of Greeley
Tammany Republicans have deserted 10 its
ranks: While the process has purified and
reformed the Republican party, it has made
the Democratic party ten-fold more the chill
dren of corruption than before.

Lyman Trumbuli 81 Repmdiator.

A few days ago we referred to the fact that
Hon. b. +. Park, formerly Democratic
member Of Congress from Indiana, but now
a citizen of Illinois, had rcpudated the Gree
ley-Tammany bargain and sale and publicly
declared his intention to support Grant He
seems to be acting up to his pledge with as
much boldncss as ability. In one of his re-
cent speeches, in Illinois, he took Lyman
Trumbull in hand and stripped off the lions
skin under the cover of which he has been play
ing the rcformcr and patriot. He gave the fol-
lowing sketch of this great political im-
poster
but they say there ia q man by tho name
Of Trumbull. The Talnmany ring and the
Wabash gang have sent the Democracy into
bankruptcy, and Lyman Trumbull is its self
appointed assignee. He is the sef-cOnsti-
tuted collector of its assets, and proposes to
make 4 pro rata division Of its estate. Ordi-
narily, the creditors in this case we, the
rank and file of the Democracy, the ceStu que
trustS-have a right to select our own trustee,
but that is denied us. Who is Lyman Trum-
bull? / have got here little book. 1 want
to read from it? Let me read what Douglas
says. In n book entitled, The Political De-
bates Of Hon. Abraham Lincoln and Hon.
Stephen y. Douglass published by Follett,
Foster u Co., at Columbus, Ohio, in 1860, at
page 90, occurs the following:
Trumbull, too, was one of our own CO.
temporaries. He was born and raised in old
Connecticut, was bred Federalist, but re-
moving to Georgia, turned Nullifier, when
notification was popular, and as soon as he
disposed of his clocks and wound up his BUSH
ness, migrated to Illinois, turned politician
and lawyer here, and made his appearance in
1911 as n member of the Legislature. He
became noted as the author of the scheme to
repudiate a large portion Of the State debt Of
Illinois, which, if successful, would have
brought iniamy and disgrace upon the fair
cscutchconOf our glorious State. The odium
attached To that measure consigned him to
oblivion fox u time. | helped to do it. /
walked into Il public meeting in the Hall Of
Representatives, and replied to his repudiat-
ing speeches, and resolutions were carried
over his head denOuncing reputation. assert
ing the moral and legal obligation of Illinois
to pay every dollar OF the debt she owed, an 4
every bond that bore her seal. Trumbull's
malignity has followed me ever since thus
defeated his infamous scheme.'"
This was iii the debate OfAugust 2l. 1858,
at Ottawa. What | have read is what Doug
las then said of him. That was his opinion
of Trumbull."

reason why political adventurer and dema-
sogue may not write as striking and logical
IN article as the most faithful champion OF
the nOblest cause. This, however, is mis-
take. To be sure, even the best cause needs
IN able defender; yet it is equally true that
t is infinitely easier to win honor and distinc
ton in the service of good cause than bad
me. The best swimmer, fully able to brave
The powerful waves of large river, will find
Ill his skill unavailing when caught in the
muddy waters of a stagnant, narshy pool, and
just the same, the men who won fame and in
duence in the pure waters of Republicanism,
will realize that they have greatly overrated
their own powers in imagining that they can
use them as effectually for mischief in the
dismal swamp Of Democracy.

COnSparlS0nS.

At the great meeting in Saratoga, few
evenings since, Prof. Langston, Of this city,
said: Men arc nothing to us only as they
appear in their representative character.
Compare Grant with Greeley as representa-
tive characters. Look at their supporters.
With Greeley stand Doolittlc and Bayard
and the Democratic Government; Whyte,
who has, in frankness, said, I'VE are simply
using Greeley and the tail of the Republican
party for temporary purposes Look at an
other of his supporters, Thurman, who says
that the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth
amendments are not constitutional; as laws
they are null and void and ought to DO re-
pealed.O

Democrats Made and Republicans
Crushed the Rebellion.

1t will be we'll enough for the people to
keep constantly in mind that the Democratic
party begun the rebellion and the Republican
party put it down! The authors of that STU
pendous crime are laboring to divert them
from this fact by raising the false and wicked
cry Of fraud and corruption against General
Grants administration. 1t is a poor inxen-
ton to cover up their own rascality. But
intelligent men can't be diverted from the
great truth that the party making these
charges murdered half million loyal men to
destroy the Government and perpetuats
slavery, created debt of four thousand mil
lions Of dollars and made million pensioners.
They ask to be restored again to power, and
are moving heaven and earth to blast the
reputation of the man whose valor and genius
thwarted THAR Internal sahsmas.

rs to the next Congress.

IT is one of the most remarkable instances
we have known Of the power Of personal
prejudice and resentment to distort great
intellect, that while Mr.. Sumner is laboring
to spread mantle of charity and pardon over
the crimes of the unrepentant slave-holding
rebels, he entertains so deadly and unrelent-
ing q hatred for the man who put down their
rebellion, that he is aiding to restore their
party to power, that he may punish the OBJ
iect Of his luminosity!

Bs9rThe statement in the last number Of
the ERA, that Mr.. Sumner is the gentleman
who gave currency to the report that COL
John w. Forney would pronounce immedi-
ately and favorably to Mr.. Greeley, is au-
thoritatively denied and pronounced pure
invention. The Senator i. assured that in
copying the report into the ERA, there was
no intention to do him the slightest injustice.

THE friends of Greeley here, and all o, er
the country, have been firing cannon in hope s
of raising the body of their candidate who was
swallowed up in the great "tidal wave"
which recently swept over North Carolina.
But as yet their melancholy efforts have been
without success, and they have nearly ADAM
done d all hope of bringing il to to surface
by such means.

a Distinction without IL Differ
enCe.

In Mr.. Summers letter arraigning the
President for various "high crimes and mis-
demeanors," one of the gravest counts in the
indictment is his want of sympathy with the
colored men of the nation; he attempts to
prove the charge by Gen. Grants letter to
the colored people of this city, upon the oc-
cason Of the meeting to express their opinion
upon Mr.. Summers civil rights bill. He de-
nounccs that letter as "evasive" and ex-
hibiting want of friendship for them. In
that letter the President sad
81 sympathize most cordially with any eff
fort to secure for all our people, of whatever
race, nativity, or color, the exercise of those
rights to which every citizen should be en-
titled. (Signed) L. S. GRANT"
In commenting upon Mr.. Summers course,
in regard to this question, Hon. Henry L..
Dawes said in recent speech that though he
calls the letter "petty evasion" that it
embraces all, and asks if there is anything
more than all? [Laughter.l Does that not
include Summers civil rights bill? And yet,
because this particular bill was not mem
toned, specifically, Sumner harps upon its
evasions. But Sumner says that the civil
rights plank of the Cincinnati platform is just
right, perfectly satisfactory. That plank is
as follows:
"To mete out equal and exact justice to
all, of whatever nativity, race, color, or per-
suasion, religious or political"
Now place this side by side with Grants
letter. Scrutinize them with your mental
microscope. Is there any difference? Is
one more comprehensive than the other?
Are they not one and the same thing? Yet Mr..
Sumner calls one evasive and the other just,
right, and perfectly satisfactory.

A BRUTAL HUsBAHD.-The neiehbors of a
man named Patrick Foley, who lives near the
canal basin, noticing the sudden cessation OF a
noise and scufie that for sometime had been 90
ing on in his house, late last night, went to see
what was the matter, and found that he had
beaten and kicked his wife senseless, and thrown
her out OF doors, and that she lay there against
the side OF the house cold, and apparently dead.
Information was at once given to the police, and
the unnatural husband was arrested, and was,
this morning. committed to Jail by the Mayor to
stand trial at the next term of the Court. His
wife remained insensible until after daylight
this morning, and now lies in a very critical
condition.
HE LATE ROBBERIEs.-The Mayor with
the assistance of the police, has, for some DAYS
past, been engaged in ferretlng ont the thieves
who committed the late robbeTies at the store
of Mr.. Rafferty, and the house of Mr.. Portnel /,
and has, atter great deal of trouble and pa
uent examination, succeeded in discovering a
gang Of colOred thieves-men and womenoto
whom can be attributed nearly all the robberies
that have been perpetrated here during the
last winter. Some Of the gang are already in
jail, and measures have been taken by which
