ExONERATED.

The Committee on Custom House
frauds have examined Generals Por-
ter and Babcock, and their testimo-
ny clearly shows, not only that the
President had no part in attempting
to control Murphy in the matter of
appointments to the New York Gus
tom House, but that he specifically
disclaimed any purpose to influence
that gentleman at all. Furthermore
that he expressly disavowed Leet's
purpose to secure the general order
business, and dis approved it entire
IL. 1t seems little curious that
such evidence should have been at
all necessary, and the fact that it
was proves conclusively the anin,us
of the entire investigation. The
discovery of abuses connected with
the New York Custom House was
riSht and proper. The attempt to
swerve the investigation from it's
legitimate purpose was not right.
Here is where the entire difficulty
centers. If the Senators wish to
investigate the administration of
Grant, we hope they will apply for
the privilege.

OHIO REPUBLICAN coNv ENTIoN.

The Ohio Republican State Con-
vention has been called to meet at
Columbus on Wednesday, March q,
1872, to nominate candidates for the
office of Secretary of State, Judge
of Supreme Court, and member of
the Board of Public Works. Also
to make choice Of four delegates at
large to the National Convention, as
well as to select two electors at large
for President and Vice-President.
The Committee recommend that
county Conventions to choose dele
gates be held Saturday, March 16.
The basis of representation in the
Convention will be one delegate for
each five hundred votes cast for
Noyes for Governor, and one addi-
tional delegates for every fraction
of two hundred and fifty votes and
upward in each county, which will
entitle Holmes county to two dele
oates

STIRRING WORDS.

During the recent debate in Con-
gress on the resolutions to investi-
gate the sale of arms by this Gov
ernment during the Franco-Prus-
sian War, Senator Morton said:
The results of the presentAdministra
ton were so magnificent that nothing
was left to its enemies but go raise a
prolonged howl of corruption. Before
the meeting of Congress he had heard
of this mine that was to blow General
Grant out of the Presidential field, but
now the mine had exploded, and instead
of the President it was the engineer
that was blown up. He warned the lib
eral Republicans against the delusive
idea that they could organize a new
party which would take in the Democ-
racy. The contest was to be between
the nominee of the Philadelphia Con-
vention and the nominee of the Demo-
cratic Convention, and if any man hat
ed Gen. Grant so much as to see him
defeated in that contest, he could con-
tribute to that result in two ways-by
going over to the Democrats, or by go
ing to the Cincinnati Liberal Conven-
ton and putting a third party in the
field. The Democrats were playing
possum and preparing TO profit by the
quarrels Of the Republicans. 1t was Il
very shrewd game, but it would not
succeed. The platform of the liberal
Republicans was substantially Demo-
cratic platform, one on which even the
Ku Klux of the South could stand. If
it should triumph in the next election,
100000 cOlored citizens of the South
could not receive protection against
their Ku KluX prosecutors, the records
of whose deeds, soon to be laid before
the country i'm the report of the Inves-
tigating Committee, cead like SO many
pages torn from the chronicler of hell.

"SHOO-FLY" cox,

Mr.. "Shoo-fy" Cox, who was
gently brushed away by Negro
song, was on Tuesday, of last week,
effectually disposed of by negro
speech. Mr.. Ramsey, colored
member from South Carolina, in a
few words highly praised by all who
heard them, successfully replied to
Coxs attempt to show that the Dem
ocratie party had always been a
friend of the negro. Mr.. Cox be-
came angry and disturbed at the
quiet,self-possessed manner in which
his statements were refuted, and
grew insolent. But the hall resound-
ed with laughter at his repulse. Mr..
Niblack of Indiana disclaimed on
behalf of himself as a member of
the Democratic party all response
bility for comforting political rights
upon the colored people.

VlCE.PRESlDENT.

If Vice President Colfax should
be re-nominated and re elected, it
will be the first time, with a single
exception, that a Vice President has
been his own successor in the his
tory of our Government. The ex-
ception was that of Daniel D. Tomp-
kins, of New York, who served as
Vice President under the two terms
of President Monroe, one of which
terms occurred in what is historical
ly known as the EZRA of good feeling
from 1921 to 1925. The instances
in which Vice President has step
ed from that position to the Presi
dency are six, to-wit: John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson, Martin Van Bu-
ren, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore
and Andrew Johnson-the three
latter secceeding to the Presidency
on account of the demise of the
regularly elected incumbants while
holding office.

FULLY PREPARED.

1t has been frequently stated that
on account of the sale of arms fire.
quently made by the War Depart
ment, in case this country should
become involved in War, we should
be able to put but a very insignifi-
cant volunteer force in the field, on
account of the want of arms. On
the contrary, in case of war, this
government could within few days
arm at least 100000 volunteers with
arms, the majority with the most
effective breech-loader in existence.
The administration has carefully
guarded against the possibility OF
not being prepared with full sup
PLY of arms and ammunition in case
of need, and this fact is accessible
to all who choose to take the trou-
BILE to inquire about it.

WHY Is 1T,

The Buffalo Comm asks q
conundrum: "Why is it that the
Democratic party always opposes ev-
cry law that seeks to have a fair
vote and an honest COUNT That is
one of those mysteries which We
shall probably never understand un-
til the party is dead and Satan de-
livers the original agreement be-
tween them to its administrators.

DEMOCRATIC PRESS ON THE TARIFF
REDUCTION.

The New York World, the lead
ing recognized Democratic organ of
its State, has the following to say
on the proposed reduction of the
tariff by the repeal of the duties on
tea and coffee; showing the utter in
sincerity of the professions of that
party on the subject of free trade:
The Democrats who voted in the
House of Representatives to repeal the
duties ON tea and coffee, are unfit to be
the representatives or the guides of the
Democracy of the United States. And
if the Democracy Of the United States aoere
to tollo,o the blind guidance Of such blum
dering guides, it aoould not deserve to re-
ceire the helm of government at the hands
of the people nert November.

INTERESTING TO SOL DiERs.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has delivered an opinion
which is of special interest to sol
dierS in the army. A minor had en-
listed without the permission of his
parents, and had been discharged
from the custody Of the military
authorities by State Court. The
Supreme Court decided that the
State Courts have no jurisdiction in
such cases, and that when it is shown
that the person is held by the au
thority of the United States, nc
matter how illegal his enlistmen,
was, the only Courts which can take
cognizance Of the case are the Uni
ted States Courts.

GRANT AND THE CUSTOM HOUSE
FRAUDS.

The letters produced in the exam
ination of Horace Porter in the New
York Custom House case, show con-
clusively that the President was
clear from all connection with the
corruptionists. He went so far as
to cause letter to be written to
Mr.. Murphy that no person apply
ing for office, on the ground of be-
ing a friend of his, should be APP
pointed, and he requested that if
any one had been appointed on the
strength of such claim, he should
be discharged. The letter from
Gen. Porter to Leet is so s&rong In
favor of the President, and SO con-
clusively disproves the unjust and
slanderous charges of completely,
that we reproduce it:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, May 4, 1S7.
MY DEAR LEET:
81 do not like to be bearer of bad news
to you, but l think ought to tell you
what the President said when he return
ed from New York. He remarked that
he had heard so much about corruption
in the Custom House jobs, and influence
brought to bear in getting positions, &C.,
that he would never appoint any one
who had been around him to position
in Custom House, no matter what his
qualifications. In speaking about you,
he said: 81 don't know who told him
of the office" and that you ought to ac-
cept Don Cameron's proposition, for
though he believes you as pure as any
one, yet he would never consent to have
you go to a Custom House. He said at
tacks would be constant and injure both
you and him. He feels just as l have
always felt about such matters. You
can now judge of the situation and act
cordingly. Youas in great haste.
[Signedl HORACE PORTER.
He told me could say this to you.
Now comes the French arms in
vestigation and that too, we predict,
will not hurt one hair of Grants
head; but the result will hurt, and
that badly, the gentlemen who have
attempted to make political capital
out of it.

THE YOUNG KING OF SPAIN.

The young King of Spain is refer
red to in a recent Madrid letter as
follows: "In the course of the
the drive young fellow went
shying right up against the
Kings leaders, ,and half knocked the
royal postillion out of his saddle,
and the coxcomb did it on purpose,
too, for he neither took off his hat
nor turned round to beg pardon. He
just galloped away, while everybody
was laughing and saying it was a
good joke, and the poor Queen was
as red as a lobster, and the King
hung his head. 1t might have been
a good joke, but is was very bad
manners. / am told such things
happen not unfrequently. The
King is a good looking young man,
with skin like Philip ii, and an
eye like-well, not a good eye. l
cannot compliment his eyes, and l
should be rather sorry to know any
body intimately who had that sort
of eyes. He is brave, and he is pa
tient. l met him on the sidewalk
this morning walking up the street
of Arcola, all alone, and with moth
ing which looked like policeman
within forty rods of him. He goes
about like any other young man OF
his age, plainly dressed, with lit
tie switch in his hand, completely
unattended, and apparently as free
from royal etiquette and royal ap-
prehensions as the best democrat OF
them all. The threat of assassin
ating him has died out completely.
He has quite shamed it out of his
enemies"

SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.

The charges against the Secretary
of the Navy are not enormous, yet
they are twisted and turned and spit
out with sneers until an unrefecting
person is likely to get an indistinct
idea of something terrible. So far
as we can make out, he has been ac-
cused Of being lawyer, of having
lived in a small pla ce, e,ofcoming from
New Jersey, of using a Government
vessel which has been set apart for
the use of the chief of the naval de-
partment, of not having served be-
fore the mast, of being bachelor, land
since his marriage, of having mar
ried a widow. The telegraph has
already informed us that the Secre-
tary is willing to have these charges
investigated. -

WHAT GRANT HAS DONE.

Three years ago the 4th of this
month Gen. Grant was inaugurated
as President of the United States.
His administration has been one of
peace and good will at home and
abroad-devoted to the work of re-
storing prosperity North and South,
cutting down taxation, and reducing
the public debt by practical civil
reform and strict economy. This
last achievement alone will make
these three years of administration
ever memorable. The decrease of
the national debt from March l,
1872, as shown by the official state
ment just published, was $780,
e4e, ,7e2.

CONGRESS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The canvass in New Hampshire
is kept vigorously up, and very
great interest prevails as to the
pending issues. 1t is thought that
an unusually large vote will be poll
ed, the prospect being that the Re-
publicans will carry the election. 1t
is very close State, and one in
which results are exceedingly hard
to reach.

FACTS,

Under President Grants Admin
istration a Republican Congress has
cut down taxes to the amount of
$l95, ,655, ,06S, and will reduce them
this session by $50, 900 more-a
total of $25O,OOO,0OO. These are
facts. Are the promises made by
Democrats and disappointed Repub-
licans worth more?

vIRTuOUS DEMOCRACY.

Brooklyn (Democratic) has dis
covered that a deficiency of over
100000 exists in it's treasury. An
investigation will be in order, and
doubtless will reveal state Of af-
fairs, with but a single parallel in
the country, and that is to be found
in the vicinity, in fact just across the
river. Virtuous Democracy.

THE WAY THE MONEY WENT.

1t has been ascertained that Tweed
Sweeny and others have at different
times received such small sums as
100000 up to 100000 as deputy
collectors in the Assessment Bu
reau, although they never served a
single hour in such capacity. Trust

ku KlUx IN TEXAS.

The ku Klux have broken out in
Texas. Their latest performance
was to break up a colored school in
Montgomery county. The teachers
fled for their lives, as they had rea-
son to do; for, some time before
one teacher had been whipped and
two Others murdered by the same
band. A little of the medicine ad
ministered to South Carolina might
have wholesome effect in Texas.

TAMMANY.

Garvey, who has been prominent
in the Tammany operations, in New
York, has turned States evidence,
and great CONSERVATION prevails
thereat. 1t is feared that Halls de-
tense is very seriously damaged by
his revelations, and the other mem
hers of the Ring,-Tweed, Sweeny
and Connolly, it is said, will flee the
country. If all this proves true,the
result will be indeed gratifying.

THE PHILOSOPHER,

Greeley now says if satisfactory
assurances are given that President
Grant is favorable to reform en--'all
right Who told the Philosopher
the President was otherwise than
favorable to all reforms? What right
had he to question the Presidents
good faith, and his intentions to
faithfully execute his oath of office:
We are glad that our old friend, find
ing himself in bad company, and
gradually drifting away from his an
cient land marks, is anxious to get
back within the fold.

A STRAW.

Last year Utica, n. Y. elected a
Democratic ticket but now this
pentup Utica has burst its dams and
comes out with a good round cheer
for Grant. The Mayor, a warm sup
porter of the administration, and
six of the twelve Aldermen are Re
publicans. The opposition made s
bitter fight in Utica, and were aided
by the New York Tribune, but the
result has been q Republican gain.
