THE GREAT PLEA of the reformers
and sore-heads against the Repub-
lican party is, that it has become
profigate, corrupt and vile, and is no
longer entitled to the confidence and
support of the people. But such a
plea coming from such a source, is
not regarded by them with much IA
vor and they will continue to vote
with the party which passed the
Homestead law that freed the slaves;
that has inaugurated Civil Service
Reform; that has caught and pun
lshed the thieves; that began the
war with Tammany; that has res
tored the privilege of voting to ev-
cry man in the South (even to JEFF
Davis); that has paid the national
debt; that has constantly reduced
taxation; that has been the first to
attempt to perfect the legislation for
the protection Of and comfort of
immigrants (doing this at the sug-
gestiOn of General Grant ;that cared
for the Germans in Paris at the sac
rifce of Minister Washburne's com
fort and the peril of his health and
life; that has been the first to sue
ceed in securing from foreign ma
tions such treaties upon the ques-
tion of citizenship as to forever put
away the doctrine "once a subject
always a subjects" that has not only
joined in setting the example to the
nations of arbitrating national differ
ences like human beings instead of
fighting over them like savages, but
has also obtained through such
peaceful arbitration the very thing,
las the English themselves confess
with bitterness) that all previous
diplomacy failed to secure; that has
converted mighty army of hun
dreds of thousands of men into
peaceful citizens, retaining a mere
handful, scarce larger than before
the war; that has converted the dan
gerous and turbulent state of society
in the South in 1868 into compar-
ative peace and quiet, in which the
largest crops ever grown and the
most rapid material progress evel
know have been enjoyed in that sec
ton; that has in short by its wise
legislation and by its prudent ad
ministration so maintained and en-
HANGED the business activity and the
general prosperity of the United
States that the mere announcement
of the renewal of its lease of power
as foreshadowed by the victories o.
Tuesday last, caused an immediate
advance on American bonds IN Lon
don in spite of the sharp advance o.
the discount rate by the Bank Of
England.
A party as corrupt, as profigate
as full of vile purposes as the "re-
formers" claim that the Republican
party is, never could have ac-
complished those great things, never
would have tried to. Still these
deeds remain, solid facts in our ma
tional history, and the people are
glad through them, remember them,
and are grateful to the Republican
party for them. They knoU what
our party has done and they doubt
the sincerity of the 'reform" party

Grants Civil and Military Success.
In his speech at Chicago the other
day, Senator Morton said:
1 might mention some of the great
things that have been accomplished
by this administration. I might re-
fert to the English treaty; our troub-
les with England have been settled;
the arbitration has been decided in
our favor upon every question. They
awarded SIS, 100000 in gold. $4,000
900 more than l ever expected we
would get. Now that is a great
thing. 1t is great in three respects:
first, on account of the money, and
yet that is the least important of the
three. Fifteen and a half millions
of dollars is a large sum. 1t is GER
tainly worth more than 15,5OO,0OO
speeches and promises and resolu-
tions, for they are not worth any
thing. Applause. But it is more
valuable from the fact that our
troubles with England are settled.
The Alabama trouble hung over US
like a cloud; there was always
speck of war upon the horizon, and
business men and those engaged in
large enterprises looked anxiously
to our relations with England before
they would embark. There was a
possibility that, some day, any day,
there might be conflict on the fish
cry question; some new disagree
ment might involve US in trouble
with England the greatest Of Europ.
can powers.
Now, all that has passed away on
terms honorable to ourselves; and
there is now no cloud, even as large
as mans hand, upon the horizon.
We are at peace with the world, and
with the prospects of an indefinite
peace. Cheers. The British trea-
ty is far more important in a third
particular. We have shown to the
world how arbitration can be made
substitute for war. This military
man, this despot, has done more, in
my opinion, to avert future wars and
bloodshed between the nations of
the world than any man has done be-
fore him. The English treaty was
essentially his idea. l happen to
know that fact. 1t was simply the
application to a great international
trouble of that profound good sense
that distinguished General Grant
above almost every man of this day.
Why, you know they say he has not
any ideas; that he has not any learn
ing like Chas. Sumner laughter or
Carl Schurz laughter that he don't
know anything. Now, I do not in
tend to be disrespectfull to these two
distinguished gentlemen-not at all;
but it does occur to me that l may
say with great propriety, that Gen
eral Grant has more common sense
in minute than either of them had
in day; and l hope they will not be
at all offended. He has that clear
and powerful common sense that
simplifes everything that passes
through his mind; and when you
hear General Grant talk about
thing, in few words he makes it SO
plain that every one is surprised he
did not always understand it thatway.
You know there is nothing about it
very complex. They say now he
"was not much of a military man."
There have been some military bla
therskites demonstrating what blum
ders he committed, and how much
easier they could have suppressed
the rebellion than he did. When all
our fashionable generals failed, the
simple soldier from Gslena came for.

RENDERED DESPERATE by repeated
defeats, the Greeley party, through
its National Committee, have begun
to initiate the example of the De-
mocracy in 1860, and threaten with
dire result, in case Grant is re-elec-
ted by the people. The opposition
to Grant is the same now that it
was then. Their leader, Greeley,
recognized the fact, that 'the brain,
the heart, the soul, of the Demo
cratic party is the rebel element of
the South, with its Northern allies
and sympathizers," and it is not
wonderful they adopt the same tactics
evolved then. Listen how their Ma
tional Committee, in an address
signed by Ethan Allen,as Chairman,
threaten another rebellion if the
people insist that Gen. Grant shall
preside over the destinies of the ma
ton for four years more. The ad-
dress, after charging frauds in Indi-
ana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, without
proof, goes on:
aOur people will bow in submission to an
honest election; but who shall declare that an
Executive chosen by dishonest means, which
annuls the popular will, may command popu-
lar o6edie1sceP Corruption grows with its own
success, and as may be expected, let these
base deeds of the dominant party be repeated
in November, and who shall say that the
hour may not be fast approaching when some
energetic spirit shall thunder forth in the will
ing ear of an outraged nation that physical
resistance to such infamy is obedience to
Godg"
"Our People" is good, but "THE
PEOPLE, is better, and the peo-
pie will demand that "our people"
accept the result in quietness and
and become "reconciled" to their
fate. 1t is not well for "our people"
to threaten "the people" with Ehysi-
calresistance if they perpetrate in
November the deeds of October.
They are bound to do it, and will do
it, fairly and squarely, and however
much "our people" may feel like
"physical resistance to "the people"
they will be reminded that the hero
ofthe Wilderness and Appomatox
"stiIl lives," and that there are
still a few "sour apple trees" re-
naming. "Our people" are not all
fools, however childish their Nation
al Committee may have become.

An Eleotioneering Dodge.

The Messenger of last week exults
over an Indictment found by the
Grand Jury against J. M. Lennon,
Esq, of Clyde, and Jno Lynch of
this city, for attempting to bribe
Thomas Howlitt of Green Creek
Township to vote for certain candi-
dates on the Republican Ticket.
The Messenger is more hasty in
arraigning men as guilty upon such
a charge, than it was four years ago,
in denouncing the unexampled fraud
by which the Democlatic majority of
this city was swelIed beyond all pre-
cedent.
That was a fraud palpable and
plain to any and every one who ex-
amined the tally sheets of the Sec
ond and Third Ward polls; but for
that vile transaction the Messenger
had no word of condemnation.
Yet here is an Indictment, procur-
ed evidently for electioneering pur-
poses, and which will in all proba-
bility never be brought to trial, over
which the Messenger gloats, and
pronounces judgment in advance.
We venture the assertion that
there is not and cannot be produced
evidence to substantiate the charge;
and if the case is ever tried the
persons accused will be triumphantly
acquitted. They challenge an in
vestigation. But the purpose Of
the accusation is too palpable. II
has furnished a cloak under cover
of which the Democracy expect to
escape condemnation for the whole
sale colonization carried on in the
district, and having served its pur,
pose will be allowed to rest quietly
or be noUied by the Prosecutor.
Bring the case to trial, and test
the strength of the accusation.

What Reverdy johnson said of the
Ku Klux.

In his speech in the Ku Klux
trials, Hon. Reverdy johnson used
this langnage:
sI have listened with dnmixed horror to
some of the testimony which has been brought
before you. The outrages proved are shock
ing to humanity; they admit of neither excuse
or Justification, they violate every obligation
which law snd nature impresses upon men;
they show that the parties engaged were
brutes, iusensible to the obligations of human
ity and religion. They viii come, however,
if It has not already arrived, when they will
deeply lament it. Even if justice shall not
overtake them, there is one tribunal from
which there is no hope. 1t is their own judg-
ment-that tribunal which sits in the breast
Of every living man-that small, still voice
that thrills through the heart-the soul of the
mind, and as it speaks, gives happiness or
torture-the voice of conscience, the voice of
God. If it has not already spoken to them in
tones which have startled them to the enormi-
ty Of their conduct, 1 trust, in the mercy of
Heaven, that the voice viii speak before they
shall be called above TO account for the trans
actions Of this world. That 1t will SO speak as
to make them penitent, and that trusting in
the dispensations, whose justice is dispensed

THE Boston Post Democratic
recently had this paragraph con-
cerning the President:
ave have said very little about General
Grant of late; our politics desGng rather with
principles thsu men-when treatment of the
latter is not forced on US. We have been
called upon by highly respected friend, re-
siding IN Washington, aud no politician, to
say this of General Grant: General Grant
has been the providence Of many here; there
are hundreds of widows and orphans in the
government employ through his K nd, humane
heart. 1 don't suppose any other President
has ever had so many walm personal Ii ends
among the poor es General Grant. He never
thinks of asking about nationality, re-
ligion, or even politics, if the case is one
worthy of the exercise of bis humane power;
and the unobtl Isive modesty of the man is
such that when he is thanked he looks down,
and his honest face fushes as if he were re-
ceiVing instead Of comforting a favor"

NEWSPAPERS are good chroniclers,
and they put away ugly things said
and done by public men, and which
are very hard to explain when
brought to light in after days. Thus,
when Horace Greeley arrived, on his
swinging trip, at Columbus, Ohio, he
was confronted with an extract from
his Vicksburg speech of last year,
in which he remarked that he chopped
the time, would come when the sol
diers who fought with Lee and Jack
son would occupy as proud a posi-
tion IN the hearts Of the american
people as the soldiers aOho fought aeith
Grant and Sherman" He undertook
to ''explain" this in his speech, and
this is the wav in which he did it be-
fore the people in Columbus. 81
said, that l trusted the day would
come when the seldierly qualities
and military genius ofLee and Stone
wall jackson would be regarded as
part of the heritage of the American
people; that they would be spoken
ofas American soldiers who, though
in a cause which I think bad cause,
illustrated the military capacity, the
genius and energy of this American
people"
Is it any wonder that the people
of Ohio at the late election repudi-
ated Greeley and his confederates ?
His Vicksburg speech was faithfully
reported and supervised by himself
and published in the southern and
northern journals. But finding it
unearthed, and used to his disadvan-
tage he tries to explain it away, jast
as he did his Pittsburg speech when
he reached Cincinnati.
