HORACE GREELEY DEFORE THE
INVESTIG ATING COM MMITTEE.
MURPHY'S MANAGEMENT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The senate COM
mit,ee, here ostensibly 10 investigate our
custom-house frauds, but sitting in the
custom-house and surrounded by custom
house influences, and really preparing to
whitewash the custom-house, examined
Horace Greeley. The philosopher, when
asked whether he would affirm or be sworn,
answered 'either way He was then
swora, aud in answer 20 the president said
the only abuses he knew of related to the
control Of officers Of customs by the DOM
inant party. Three or four customs Of
fcals ave sent back to the counties from
which they came to influence and coerce
the election of delegates. Among the Of
flcers so acting, and, as he believed from
information, assigned 10 particular coun-
ties, we're jeremiah Grew, Louis Lans-
berry A. B. Cornell, and Addison II. Laf-
lin. Fifty or sixty Of these officers, inciud-
ing the surveyor and naval officer, all paid
out of the treasury of the United States,
were in Albanyto control the organization
of the state legislature by promises and
threats. " Witness is well assured that Gen.
Ketchum told the assemblymen from his
county that they must vote in the interest
of the custom-house appointees or they
would lose their places. Friends acting
with witness told him this. Their names
are Eastman and Caring The republican
state conventions of 1870 and 1871 were
controlled by custom-house officials.
Q.--What do you know of the workings
| of the custom-houses.
! A.-What | know is very secondhand
ed on this point, but Mr.. Shanks, of our
office takes charge of these matters.
Q-Do you say the custom officers
were paid for going to Albany?
Al say they are drawing their pay
from here while controlling the legls-
! laturc.
O.-What do they wish to control
A.-The nomination of speaker IN
! their interest. Mr.. Smith is Conklng
man the gentleman who would have been
elected was Mr.. Alvord, a Fenton man.
Senator Howe-Iou are one OF the edi'
tors of the Tribune, believe?
Al am.
O.-Do YOU know which of the repre-
sentatives in congress are Fenton men
Al shouldn't like to proclaim it here
Q-Is it because they conceal it
All they wish to conceal it should
MT like to proclaim it. If they proclaim
it needn't tell.
Q-The argument isn't quite conclu
sive?
A.-Thcy might proclaim it and no
know it.
Q.-Can you name any rerresentatir
who is n Fenton man?
A.-Yes | might. Milo Goodrich.

Hon. L. T. Neal has lately dis.
covered another plank to be inserted
in the Democratic platform. After
a three weeks canvass this comes
with poor grace from that source.
Neal says in a card to the Advertis-
er that he favors granting lands to
the soldiers who served during the
war, and that he has so expressed
himself in speeches in adjoining
counties. We give him the benefit
of this statement, promising that it
has not been so understood in this
county. A question of veracity is
raised here-some assert that a PEI
titiOn was presented to him before
the campaign opened and that the
only reply he made was "You will
hear my views on this subject from
the stump" Mr.. Neal turned on
his heel and left without further
ceremony. Neal must have known
that land bounty was an issue of
the campaign, as resolution was
introduced at the Republican Con-
vention at Hillsboro to that effect.
If Mr.. Neal has ever spoken of the
matter elsewhere it has been done
in such manner as to fail signally
to, impress it on the minds of his
hearers, as several of them assert
that his speech contains no such
clause TScioto Gazette.

What Has the Republican
Party Done /?

It has been tauntingly asked, "What
has the Republican party done ?" We
answer: 1t has guaranteed the faithful
ayment of the public debt it gave re-
publican institutions to the South it
passed the homestead law; it protected
the civil rights of all men; it established
universal suffrage; it built the Pacific
Railroad it defeated reputation ; it
gave liberty to all sections it secured
pensions and homesteads to the Union
soldiers; it provided pensions for the
orphans of those who sacrificed their
lives for us; it has reduced the national
debt over $500. 100000 in three years,
and diminished taxation over 500, ,O00,-
600 it has passed revenue tariff with
protection to the American laborer it
has, in very great measure, broken
up the Ku-Klux Klan by sentencing
numbers of its members to the peniten-
tiary. All the great questions of the
war have been settled. Differences with
foreign nations have been adjusted by
treaty, or are in process of settlement.
Every Southern State is fully represent
ed in Congress.
What prouder record need any party
ask than the above? Let every voter
ask himself whether anything is to be
gained by putting such a party out of
power, and substituting Greeley and
his Tammany and rebel allies in its
place?

A Good Sign.

The young men of the nation are
largely IN favor of Grant and Viii
son. This is a good sign, for it shows
that the future of the Republic will
be in safe hands.
Young men growing up among
the living issues of the present are
free from those prejudices which
cause many citizens to cling to a
party on account of its old traditions.
There are thousands in the land who
vote the Greeley ticket for no other
reason than because il was nominal
ed at Baltimore. They have been
Democrats all their lives, and are
willing to swallow anything that is
labeled Democratic. They are blind
and stick to their party ticket, "rjght
or wrong"
From this blind partisanship the
young men Of the nation are Free
They judge the two parties before
the people for what they are, not
what they have been. They know
that the Republican party has done
and is doing well for the country.
They know that the party that has
adopted measures which the Demo-
Gratis have ceased to oppose and now
profess to accept, must be the best
party to continue in power. If its
work has been good, its guardianship
over that work ought to be equally
beneficial.
We are glad to welcome the young
men of the Republic into the ranks
of our party. They have the fire OF
youth, and make earnest workers.
The cause sustained by young men
cannot fail. 1t grows in strength
with every year. 1t has vitality
that no opposition can check. Its
destiny is onward and upward. We
lay no claim on those old fossils who
are welded to the empty shell of
Democracy. With Young America
bearing cur standard we nave no
fears of the future. AS long as the
Republican party continues to be as
it is now-the party of justice, hon
esty, economy and loyalty-the
young men of America will be en-
listed in its service TO fight its bat
ties, win its victories, and uphold
its banner of universal liberty.

Business Men for Grant.

Nearly two hundred leading mer-
chants of Chambers street, New
York, met on Saturday attern oon
to declare their political preferences.
They stretched across the street a
handsome banner, bearing the
names of Grant and Wilson and
Dix and Robinson, and adopted a
preamble and resolutions. Their
preamble expresses in such terse
phraseolgy the composition of the
Confederate party that it is worth
reproduction. Here it is:
WHEREAS, The Rebel Ku-Klux
of the South, the Tammany Demo
Gratis, with their political allies, the
Sorehead Republicans of the North,
have coalesced and clasped hands
''across the bloody chasm" in sup
port OF the great apostle and advo-
cate Of "Peace at any price," "On
to Richmond" and "ADythlng to
beat Grant" candidate.

a Pleasing Picture.

The country has never been in
u more prosperous condition. Labor
is in demand everywhere, and wages
are high. Every law-abiding citi-
zen is in full enjoyment of personal
liberty. Our wealth and resources
are attracting to our shores the skill
ed labor and the intelligence of 9TH
er lands. Our bonds are equal in
value to gold; our money circulation
is but small per cent. below them.
Our credit good in all the money
markets of the world, and our debt
is being funded at low rate Of in
terest. We are at peace with all
the world. Our troubles with En-
gland are amicably settled. The
Southern States are rapidly recover
ing from the effect of the war, and
are growing in prosperity. All this
is due to a-wise and honest admins
tration of national affairs. The elec-
ton of Greeley would unsettle pub
lie confidence and induce tinan-
cial panic. The people know this,
hence their determination to re-elect
President Grant.
