GRANTS posTMAsrER GENERAL,

The Congressional Globe is not very
interesting reading. but is occasionally
useful for reference. Yesterday, turning
over the pages Of one Of the volumes, we
came across that report of Postmaster
Creswell in which he indorses and allows
the celebrated Chorpenning fraud. The
Postmaster, in that document gives his
official sanction to claim of SAC, 900,
that Congress afterwards declared to be
unjust and illegal While reading Mr..
Cresswell's report, we copld not help re-
membering that he had been one of
Grants most active canvassers, going
from State to State advocating the cause
OF his chief, and imploring the people to
re-elect him. We also recollected that
General Grants unwearied advocate
stood in the very dubious position of
great public officer allowing claim that
was afterwards declared to be fraudulent.
In that case, either Mr.. Cressweli was
guilty of objectionable malfeasancs in
Office, or else Congress did great wrong
by disallowing just claim. The evil
dence is, that the former was the case.
Is it not fair to presume that if Mr..
Cresswell erred SO grossly in one instance,
he may have done SO in others? Is it
not also a fair presumption, that the
reason why Mr.. Cresswell is SO anxious
that no change of administration may
take place, is to prevent that prying into
and sweeping out Of dark corners that is
sure to obtain on the election Of Mr..
Greeley? Is it not also fair to presume,
that Cresswell and many others freedom
from searching examination, is the thick
and thin support of the President? This
may not be the case, but it certainly has
tEat appearance. r-'r.er

Why should any good citizen prefer
Greeley for President in preference to
Grant?
The Gold Hill News makes the above
inquiry. which we will answer for our
selves at any rate. We prefer Greeley
to Grant: Firstly, because he proposes
to unite the country by the ties of mu-
tual good will rather than by the shackles
imposed by force. Secondly, because
he has resolutely set his face against cor
ruption, no matter from whom or where
it arises. No swindline knaves from the
Treasury Ring to the most obscure car
pet-bagger who is plundering an out Of
the way district in the South, will be able
to carry their nefarious schemes into
effect and insult the Woodworking masses
of the country by Haunting in their faces
the riches of which they have been de-
frauded. Because he is the advocate of
real and not make-believe reform in all
the departments of the Government. No
"Chorpenning" frauds on the Post
office; no "Secor swindles on the
Navy; no payments of interest on the
national bonds, for which not dollar
was advanced, will be permitted. No
Custom House Ring will be allowed to
levy blackmail on the commerce OF the
country. In short, because Mr.. Gree
ley's election will be the commencement
of an era of general reform and the sub
stituti3n of feelings of harmony and
kindness, guided by intelligence, exalted
patriotism and untainted honesty, in
place of contention and hate kept alive
by corruption and the desire for personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. These are the reasons
why we prefer Mr.. Greeley to Gen.
Grant, under whose reign, for it has
been nothing else, these grievous errors
have arisen 10 proportions that have
justly alarmed the public mind.

KENDALL AND GooDwIN.-By all &C,
counts, the Radical candidate for Con.
gress, c. G. Goodwin, is taking but little
from his contest with Kendall. The lat.
ter is too heavy for him altogether; and
Charley makes but a poor showing. He
is very clever gentleman, but as Lever
says in Charles O'Malley, he is evident,
not the man for Galway" nor yet to
represent Nevada in Congress. Mr..
Kendall will speak in Phoebe this dav
week, and we hope Mr.. Goodwin will
accompany him. The latter is comforting
positive benefit on his opponent, by
serving as foil to the latter's superior
ability.

TRADING.

A number OF the Radical papers in this
State, arc imploring the members of
their party not to trade their votes. These
folks need not be at all alarmed. So far
as We have any knowledge of the matter,
the keformers wish as little as these
journals to indulge in shopping a por-
ton of their ticket for any of the Radical
candidates. The party of Reform and
peace expect to carry the State for
Greeley and sufficient portion of the
Legislature to elect United States Sena-
tor. They do not wish any more of
Jocular Jeems' services. They think he
has done mischief enough. They do not
desire to give either Sharon or Jones or
any other / adical a chance to misrepre-
sent them. They believe that within
their own ranks are men of great ability
and attachments and Of unquestioned
honor and propriety that will more
worthily represent Nevada in the Coun-
ellis of the alton than man whose
great ambition is to fill the dignifed
position of Court Jester, or the mere
creature of monied monopolies. The
Reformers of evada believe that they
can accomplish this worthy purpose by
voting solidly for their nominees, and
they intend to do it, so the Gratites need
not be afraid that any one wants to
trade with them. The wares they
have to sell reek with corruption
and would be dear at any price.

the State and addressing the people on

THE COMING SESSION OF CONGRESS-

Congress convenes to-day. The first busl-
ness, after the reception of the Presidents
message, will be to listen to the resolutions with
which members come fortified from their State
Legislatures or their constituency. These will
DO sumnarily disposed Of by reference to the
proper committees. There are only eighteen
bills on the Speakers table in the House,-an
unusually small number, there being often as
many as hundred bills being left unacted upon
at the close Of 6 session, and thus remanded to
the second session. These bills, with one or
two exceptions, are of o comparatively unin1-
portant character. Tho first in tho special
order Of business is ''An act to secure the pub
Lie lands to actual settlers" and the next bill,
reported last session by General Banks from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, to carry into
effect the provisions Of the Treaty Of Washing
ton relating to the Canada fisheries. The ele-
ments Of this bill include the declaration that
the products Of the fisheries Of Canada and
Prince Edwards Island shall DO admitted into
the United States free Of duty, as also those OF
Newfoundland, when the latter shall have given
Of the treaty; that foreign goods destined for
Canada shall be permitted to pass through our
territory free of duty; and, further, giving ef-
feet to that portion of the treaty relating to the
navigation of the st. Lawrence River and the
lakes. 4 bill for revising md amending
the laws relative to the mints and
coinage Of the United States; Civil
Rights bill, very similar to Mr.. Summers in the
scnnte; and bill for the retirement Of worn
and nutilated notes ct the National Banks, con-
atitute the main features Of the public bills left
over from the last session. The present session
is short, expiring March 4, and it is probable
that tho time up to the holiday adjournment
will be occupied by the special order Of business
already provided.
The serious work OF Congress will begin after
the holidays, and it is amatter for congratuation
that the time will be brief for lobby-work. 1t

RuBkin has now got new subject OF personal
grievance. He ia sorely troubled because the
British workingman wants to go to the British
Museum on Sundays. He says: sYou wish to
get into the Museum to recreate yonr minds,
but are sou quite sure that you have got any
minds to be recreated7 Before you expect edi-
fcation from that long gallery full Of long
legged, inconceivable spiders and colossal,
blotchy crabs, did you ever think Of looking
with any mind Of uindfulness at the only too
easy conceivable short~legged spider of your
own English acquaintance? or did you ever 80
much as consider why the crabs Of Afargate
Sands we're minded to go sideways
instead Of straight forward? And
what is Greek sculpture OF any other sculpture
to you? Are your own legs and arms not hand
some enough for you to look at but you must go
and stare at Clipped and smashed bits Of stone
in the likeness of legs and arms that ended their
walks and works two thousand years ago:" AL
Of this is very sour and very SMART but it never
seems to occur to Ruskin that perhaps the
British workingman hasn't time to go hunting
British spiders and crabs, but would prefer to
look at those already caught. With reference
to sculpture, after his not very hattering remark
touching the minds of the workingmen, ne fancy
ho will thoroughly appreciate the British work
ingmen's legs and arms it he is ever unfortunate
enough to get near them.
