Another PIunder scheme.

The latest Radical project for plum
dering the Treasury is that submitted
a few days ago by noted carpet-bag-
ger from Mississippi, named Pierce.
It proposes to take two huudred mil
lions out of the Treasury to give to
landIess .citizens-neaning, of course,
the negroes-to be dispensed in this
wise: Those desiring to settle on the
public lands shall be transported there
at the public expense, and on proof
that they have no means to open the
lands, shall be furnished with the fol-
lowing articles to wit:
Fifty dollars worth of building ma

A MAN ON TRIAL FOR MURDER Com
MITTED FIFTEEN YEARS -AGo.-The
Iowa City Republican reports the fol-
lowing case as now engaging the at
tention of the court there:
A Bohemian, living in Madison
township was arrested last Sunday 10
answer an indictment tor murder
said to have been committed in this
county some fifteen years ago. The
particulars, as we ascertained them,
were to the effect that the prisoner
married widow, with four children,
two of whom were little girls, aged
respectively seven and nine years.
These little girls were sent out on an
errand for their sfep-father, and re-
turned without accomplishing their
mission, which so enraged him that
be took a club, and with it beat the
Youngest girl until life was extinct.
| He threatened the mother and other
children with like dreadful fate If
they revealed the fearful crime which
! he had committed land thus by threats
and intimidation, succeeded in sup
pressing, for fifteen long years,the par
| ticulars of this horrible tragedy. 1t
was not until the little girl, who ac-
companied her sister on that ill-iated
mission, had grown to womanllood,
and felt safe under the protecting arm
of a man who had made n solemn VOW
to cherish and protect her through
| life, that she appeared before the
grand Jury to make oath to the teri.
rible scene she witnessed when but q
child.

The Salt Swindle.

1t would hardly be credited were 1t
not a patent fact that some half dozen
salt mandarins from Onondaga, Mich
igan, and other places, in solemn pro-
cession marched up TO the Capitol on
Wednesday, invaded the Senate FL
nance Committee room, and there IN
the mos,leloquent strains(their spokes-
man being a silver-tOngUed judge
protested against not only the repeat
of the salt duty, but against even the
reduction of that duty. They ofcourse
paid a like visit to the Ways aud
Means Committee on the following
day. These salt mandarins, wealthy
much above the average OF rich men,
much OF their wealth squeezed out OF
the poorest negro and hard working
sealnen who live on salt provisions
these salt millionaires have the effront-
cry to plead for another years plum
der by the help of the government
power in the infamous salt tax-for
wear or two longer to rob the people.
Could they but haYe been inspired by
| the goddess of Truth this would have
been the speech of the salt mandarins
| We, the owners of the Onondaga salt
| works, took advantage some twelve
wears ago of the misfortues of bro
ken down salt corporation, got into
our hands (only some six or eight OF
us) all the property for mere song.
say 20 or 80 cents on the dollar. Con-
| gress kindlyhelped us by the salt duty
| to accumulate some millions of dol
! lars, and were we to reckon our year
ly divisions simply upon the capital
we invested over twelve years ago II
would amount to an average OF some
1000 per cent per annum. We have
gro wn rich and powerful. We enjoy
comfortable 600, $780,.
600, $4,000 annually. Have you go
the heart to rob US now of this in
come? We haye no respect for th'
J divine right of kings or queens, bu
surely we always had and hope we
/ still may have respect for the divine
rights of millionaires, which we, tn
Onondaga salt-owuers, really are. Be
sides, look at the injustice of the thing
Our former representative, the wis
Mccarthy, plainly told you two year
ago that the whole salt tax is only 61
J cents per capita. Is there any hard
ship in that? But look at the hard
: ship it would be to US if you reliev
the people with this 81 cents per cap

Opposed to Grant.

Judge Brinkerhoof, late Republican
Chief Justice of Ohio, has written
letter in which he takes most decl-
ded ground against the great receiver.
Among the reasons given in the letter
against the reelection of Grant and
for his opposition to the Republican
policy, are the following:
AS to the personal administration
of Grant, do not like his acceptance,
prior to his Inauguration, ef munfn-
cent presents from men distinguished
for nothing but their wealth, and then
appointing these same men to eince.
/ do not like his shameful and shame
less nepotism; his apparently lnt-
mate and continuous associations with
stock jobbers; his project for the pur-
chase of San Domingo; his ostracism
of such men as Sumner, Hoar and
Cox, and the substitution, as his con-
| fidential advisers, of men in whose
ability and political purity a dlserim-
mating public has far less confidence.
do not like his official professions In
favor of civil service reform when
contrasted with the fact that he made
| the places of the only members OF ms
Cabinet, who seemed to be heartily
and practically in favor of such re-
form, too hot for them; nor do like
| the revelations recently made, through
the medium of reluctant committee
as to the character of the administra-
ton of the New York Custom house
nor his fulsome Endorsement of its
late chief.
Nor is the legislative policy of those
who assume to be the special friends
of the President more acceptable te
me. 1 do not like tariff of duties OF
imports which, while it takes money
from one mans pocket and puts it in
to the pocket of another. brings httls
or no revenue into the public Treasu
ry; and which, while it ostensibi!
adds to the wages of some manufac
turing laborers, takes more than tha
increase from all laborers by means o
the increased cost of living. Nor d,
, like the apparent effort and disposi
. ton toward the assumption by tn
f General Government OF powers an
functions properly appertaining t
the States.
