AN ITEM EeR REEoRMERs.

From an official letter sent by the Sec.
retary of the Treasury to banking house
in Europe We learn that the per cent. oi
losses to the Government in the collec.
ton of internal revenue since March 3
1869, has been less than one fftieth oil
one per cent. of the amount cole cted, OF
less than two dollars in ten thousand dol
lars.
In the collection of the customs fol-
the same time the loss has been SIS, ,00(
out of 1858, 100000, or the one two hun
dredth part OF one per cent, or some
thing less than FIVE dollars In every one
hundred thousand.
The loss to depositors through our na-
tional banking system has been the one
hundred and eighty-sizth part of one pc,
cent, equivalent to FIVE dollars and three
eights oe dollar in every one hundred
thousand.
The money entries on the books Of the
United States Treasurer, covering time
show the handsome sum Of fifty five thou
amount the loss has been about fifty five
thousand dollars, or less than one ten
thousandth part Of one per cent, or less
than one dollar In one million of money
transactions.
How is this for reform? Could honest
Horace improve the service or make il
more honest? Could his friend and right
hand supporter in Tammany, Bill Tweed
show better financial exhibit if he had
the lingering of public funds Who vii
give US an official statement of the pei
cent. of losses in New York under the
control Of Tweed & Co.

TEE POLITICAL s.WKEAT IS 1T ?''

A few renegade Republicans, who are
ashamed to own that they have gone over
to the Democracy, try to comfort them
selves with the delusive nopc that Mr..
Greeley, although accepting the support
of the Dem ocratIc party, is at heart a
Republican. and will, if elected. carry
out the doctrines of the Republican party.
That he will do nothing of the kind is
certain, not only from the pledges he has
already made, but from the we'll grounded
conclusions reached by the Democrats
themselves. The Richmond Enquire,
hits the nail on the head, and defines
GreeIey's status about as well as the Old
Philosopher himself, could be be induced
to speak the truth. The views of the
Enquirer are the views of the leaders OF
the Democratic party, and with this un-
derstanding they have nominated Mr..
Greeley at Baltimore. The paper men
toned concludes long article on the
general prospects of the Democracy as
| follows:
1t is too late now. however, to recede.
The issue is made, and it is Greeley OF
nothing. We must concentrate the en-
tire Democratic vote upon him, and elect
him. We can do it, and achieve a Dem
| ocratic victory. 1t is useless to count up
| on any help from the Republicans. AL
| that We can get from that party will not
| count as a drop IN the great sea. Oui
| only hope is in a united Democracy and
we must unite that great party. Iheli
| three millions of votes, properly distrlb
uted, will elect the next President anC
elected by their votes Greeley will be a
Democratic President, bound in honor
and by gratitude to carry out the policy
of the Democratic party. We have also
a Congress to secure, and this we can Sc,
cure. The entire delegation from the
South can be Democratic and Conserva
| tive; aud through that branch of the
| Government we must look to the restor
alton of the South to all her rights In the
| Union. The revolution we begin now
| can not be accomplished without time.
| We have Senate to change as we'll as a
| Congress and President, and Sup
RENE Court to purify. All of which viii
require time and patient toll. IF We
gain twenty lCongressmen this fall t.
| add to the devoted Democrats now in tht
/ House, 1T will be a grander victory thar
| the election of MIR. Greeley as President.
OF course, Greeley ",cjU6e Denocra
TIC President, bound IN honor and graft
tude to carry out the policy Of the Demo
cratic party.
| That is what the movement means
The people understand it, and will put
| veto not only on the ambitious philoso
| pher, but on the treasonable policy Q
the party that has accepted him as thei
s.sndard-bearer.

How THEY MANAGED grea,
list Of Oshkosh Liberals published
by the Times the other day Is having
a terrible fall. Hear what the Journal
of the same city says about the list:
I'VE have looked over the list very
carefully and can find but t,uenty Repub-
licans the balance are all Democrats
who have always voted the Democratic
ticket as the Republican. There are
also among the names about fifty fcti.
tious names of men who have never
resided in the city or country. There
are a large number also whose names
are attached to this list that signed it
not knowing what it was and who have
now come out openly and above board
for Grant and Wilson. They say the
paper was handed to them to sign with
the representation that it was for anoth-
er purpose and which we presume is the
truth.
We also notice large number of the
names of Democrats who are loud in
denouncing Greeley and Brown and who
swear they will vote for Grant and Will
son. They say if they have got to vote
FOR Republican they prefer to vote
for the one who has been tried and not
foand wanting.

HENRY WILSON.

governor WAsHBURN in speech ut
Madison clearly proved that the cry Of
dishonesty and corruption In collecting
the revenue has no foundation In fact.
Gov. Washburn said that the whole
country had enjoyed greater prosperity
during President Grants administration
than ever before, (Cheers.) Yet there
was clamor for change, though he did
not see how any man can hope thus to
improve the situation. 1t was said that
even some Republicans were ready to
join the Democrats to Overturn their own
administration. He could not believe
they would be guilty of such course,
but hoped it would prove they had been
temporarily led estray by the song of the
Democratic Delllah, and the promptings
OF their better nature would compel them
to return to their place shoulder to
shoulder with their old comrades. There
was 40 ground of complaint that Presi-
dent Grant had not carried out the prin
ciples of the Republican party. or that
laws had not been executed There was
cry of corruption, but no speciicati tions
could be maintained. The revenue had
uever been so faithfully collected as it
was now, and the expense was olny three
per cent, while in the last year of Demo-
cratic administration under Howell Cobb
it was thrice that sum. In the Post-of
flee Department, which had forty five
thousand employees, the loss was only the
tenth of one per cent, and the grea
test loss, one hundred thousand dollars.
was in New York, by man named Nor
ton, appointed on Horace Greeley re-
commendation. In tho Treasury De-
partment, through which since the Re-
publicaDs had been in power, fifty FIVE
thousand millions Of dollars had passed,
the total loss was not thousandth part
of one per cent, mostly by dishonest
clerks, who had been prosecuted convic-
ted and were serving out their time in
