A Double. Headed FaIsehOOd.

Several times during the present year
the Columbia County Republican has
pretended to cite expressions from a
speech made by Mr.. Buckalew In front
of the Court House, in Bloomsbury,
some years since, we'll knowing their
falsehood but intending them for cfr.
culation and use in other parts of the
State. For instance, in that paper, un.
der date of July IL, 1879, appeared the
following:
"Mr. Buckalew in spec ch upon the
Court House steps In Bloomsbury, In
which he revied the Union soldiery as
Lincoln Hirelings. said:
"Fellow citizens, when landed In
New York from South America and
found that Abe Lincoln, theraiI-splitter
OF Illinois, was President and VIII,
Seward his Secretary, 1 was hun,ilia.

The old saying that "liars should have
good memories" comes in just here, TO,
the fact that tho speech in-question was
Published in full at the time, seems to
have been forgotten by the forger of the
above article. That speech as publish
cd shows that no such language or ideas
a. asserted were uttered in the speech,
and the truth of the statement has been
denied more than once In our columns,
Besides, tho original Photographic
notes of the speech as taken down al
the time by one of the most competonl
reporters in the United States, arc now
lying before us, with the following con.
elusive statement by the reporter ap.
pended thereto:
"In tho foregoing short. hand notes OF
Mr.. Buckalew's remarks on the Court
House steps, Bloomsbury, September
10, 1864, taken down by me fully and
completely at the time, without a word
being missed) no such expression as
"Lincoln hirelings," or "Abe Lincoln

this State remember that it was John f.
Hartranft, the Radical candidate for

of the State, covered up the Evans
swindle by which they were robbed Of
over three hundred thousand dollars al
one time.
Let them remember that this same
John f. Hartranft received, as his share
of the Evans swindle, seven thousand
dollars
Let them emember that this same
Jonn F. Hrrtranft received from a
Philadelphia broker at one time two
thousand dollars, and at various other
times sundry large amounts, as his

Let them remember that if John f.

reports as he was required to and
had taken an oath that he Wouni, that
the Evans swindle could never have
been perpetrated, and the $500, 200

Is member, would now be in the
Treasury of the State.
Let the corporation cursed pc ,ple of
this State remember that Harrison Allen
the radical candidate for Auditor Gen.
eral, while member of the Senate,
voted for every corporation measure
presented.
Let them remember that as Senator,
he voted to rob them of nine millions OF
dollars, at one haul, by voting for the
bill that gave the nine millions of State

Let them remember, that in his entire

Tho Hon. Robert j. Walker, Secreta-
ry OF the Treasury under Mr.. Polk, and
lately distinguished defender of Gen.
Grant, in 4 lotler written some time
ago, upon the subject of our national H.
nnncCs, makes statement which in
duccs us TO suppose that no too will be
found for Greeley aud Brown. Mr. Walk
or says:
"The Radical policy, as exhibited in
all their legislation for period of near
~ four years since the conclusion of tho
war, shows a rate of expenditures In
Time of peace exceeding 100000, 900 a
year. Tho continuation of the Radical
policy necessarily involves a repetition
of these expenditures. But such expen-
ditures render taxation SO intolerable
as TO lead to reputation and bankrupt.
cy. There Is but one party really and
sincerely in favor of the payment of the
public debt, and that is the party advo.
eating vast decrease of tho public ex-
penditures."

SECRETARY BOUTWELL, has evident
~ become an apt scholar In Kemble's
school of addition and division. From
his reports we find that there wore $l,-
COZ G63, 800 Of fve-twenty bonds out
standing on June 80, 1869. He also
states, In his report of March, 1872, that
there were $500, 115, 400 of these bonds
retired between June 80, 1869, and
March l, 1872; yet we find in the same
monthly statement that there were ST..
1Si,O29,30O OF flve-twenty bonds out
standing on March l., 1872, which ouly
showsth the actual retirement of $l1S, 1884,
500 worth of these bonds during that
period. Here is discrepancy in his
own statement of $S1 ,4S0, ,000-an actual
loss or dropping out somewhere of that
amount. Now where has that $S1 ,4SO,-
300 gone? Boutwell, says he has redeem
ed that amount of bonds more than his
own figures show have been retired. Is
there ring steal OF that amount In the
purchase and retirement of bonds? II

the addition, division, and silence ring.
A steal of over $s1, ,OOO, 900 out OF every
$500, 900 is a larger percentage than
the Tweed Ring took for their private
use. 1t Is a more extensive practice of
