The Best Proof of Honesty and Economy

Facts are stubborn arguments. A thou
sand assertions cannot change them.
When we demand proof of the truthfulness
of the charges raised against the Admins
tration, the reply is repetition of the
charges. When we present facts to prove
these charges false. our opponents are ST.
lent. Truth is all powerful, and falsehood
covers in its presence. We present few
more facts for the popular mind. Let our
friends cut them out, and ask the first
Liberal" advocate who ventures on the
worn-out charge of corruption to explain
the nature of the corruption he complains
of. 1t may do the Greeley cause good to
prove its charge out of the official
facts. We have taken the five leading ar
ticles from which revenue is derived, the
same increase of receipts being noticeable
on the minor articles. a.1.
The period of comparison is from March
/ 1856, to February %, lSG9-three years
under Johnson-and from March l, 1869,
to February 30, 1s72-three years under
Grant: -Gfs s&Ha..taa

Let it be remembered that during twenty
nine months out of thirty-six months of
Mr.. Johnson's administration the tax on
distilled spirits was 81 per gallon. Under
Grant it has been put to so cents per gal
Ion. Yet with this great reduction, which
ought to have reduced the income three
fourths, we actually increased in nearly
$50 100000. All the other items of reve-
nue. show the same increase, and are indis-
putable arguments in favor of the honesty
and economy of the present administration.
Grant has broken up the corrupt whiskey
and tobacco rings that were robbing the
government of its revenue under Andy
johnson. He put honest men in office, and
honest results have followed.
If any officer has failed in honesty he
has been promptly removed and punished.
Official rascality finds no place under Cen
eral Grant. Whenever discovered, the REM
edy is sure to be applied. Rascals have
been found, have been dismissed from of
flee, and, without exception, those that have
been allowed to live outside of the peniten-
tiary are with the Greeley movement to-
day, shouting for reform and an honest adj
ministration of affairs. The reform they
want is restoration to power under Dem
ocratic administration, with liberty to plum
der the nation as Tweed & Co. have plum
dered the city of New York. III $3.50.

ion of the German geographer, kiepert, who
discovered various geographical plumbers in
the letters. He thinks part of the narra-
tive was invented by Mr.. Stanley, and
hence the whole is valne!css, and hints that
it is possible that Stanley never saw Liv-

Special Dispatch to the Evening Telegraph
WASHINGTON. July 3O.-Senator Summer $
letter IN reply 10 the communication addressed
him few weeks ago by certain colo,e'i men
will make between two and three columns
A copy o 1t was telegraphed 10 North Caro-
lima to day, to bs read OH the stump by Ihose
who are advocating the conservative ticket III
that State. The letter treats OF two points
very fully; first, the character and nntetedent-
Of The TWO candidates for the Presidency nov
before the peoples second, their present position.
Sumner gives thorough review OF the ante
ceden,s Of Grant aud Greeley, aud the coml'ar'.
son is far from favorable 10 the present occupant
of the White House.
Horace Greeley's lifelong devotion to human
rights and 10 the interests Of labor is passed IL
review. With regard to the present Position OF
Grant and Greeley before the country, sumner
shows That both candidates Tor the lIesldrnc,
stand upon substantially the same platform.
The question is therefore narrowed down I" a
choice Of men which of two candid ites ~ best
fitted for President. Sumner charges that Grant
is no, fitted to govern, and that he has not shown
any sympathy with the colored race. On the
contrary, he has, on all occasions, insite,t them
and ATTEMPTED to use the power of the Govern
ment to destroy the black republic of Hayti.
Mr.. Sumner concludes his letter hy announc-
ing his platform to be nnitv OF the Republic
equal rights 10 all, and reconciliation. Horace
Greeley, he holds, is the emissdiment of thes..
ideas, and if elected will carry them ont. MIR.
Sumner in his letter holds that the new depart
ure of the Democracy has been made IN good
faith, and lie thinks they will redeem their
pledges.
The best evidence of this is to be fonnd in the
adoption of the Cincinnati platform. and the
placing u pn it a life long advocate ot equal
rights 10 all men as their candidate. The let
. ter has been prepared with great care, and is
written il Summers hest and most vigorous
style.
He says he has declared his position after
careful consultation with friends in Massachll-
setts and elsewhere who have stood beside hin
for the last quarter Of century. lie did mo-
feel at liberty to take this course until he h:,.
/. counselled with these friends.
III In short time he says the people will la
surprised at the declaration which will he mad
:, not only III Massachusetts but allover New Eng
" land, in favor Of Greeley and against Grent.
lie is not at liberty now To mention namcs
hut there will be accessions to the liberal move
!; ment Of men who are recognized leaders of tn
Republican party, and who have the coniidenc

rnKEl NEoROEs BURN A HOUSE AND ATTEMPT
TO DESTROY THE INMArEs-InE. ""N
HUNG BY THE INFURIATED CITIZENS
From Cecil County comes news OF the fol.
lowing horrible attempt ut the Krat'ncat,oni, .. |
friendish spite, and its subsequent Ve.a.p '.,, |
punishment, which, while we cannot Voucn
iur its entire accuracy, we readily suppose "
be mainly true:-On Tuesday morning, as
gentleman of this city was driving aions W.
road near Pivot Bridge, on his way ~ Marke.
here, with load of peaches, he sudIeniy eaMe
across q large and excited crowd, which o'ock
I'd up the roadway, evidently awaiting the M
appearance Of the Coroner to cut doWh tle
body of q negro, which was hanging 70 a Tree
| in tie woods, a short distance from the Ioau.
| From the various aud excited answers whn'l
origin of the affair, he gathered the foii"wli'k
particulars, though, unfortunately, ne was s'a
unable tO obtain the names OF any W the
| parties.
A short time ago, a farmer In Sassafras
Neck had negro in his employ, whom ne, iol
became deeply incensed at this, and declaied
that he would be revenged. On Monday
night, he persuaded two other negroes IT, as
slst him, and together they started out to ac-
complish their fiendish design. Arriving al
the house of this farmer they first went all
around, and attempted to fasten the doors OH
the outside, so as to prevent escape, and then
deliberately fired the building. The inmates
were aroused, but fortunately the attempt OF
the fiends to add murder to their heinouS
crime failed, and all the inmates escaped with
their lives and such clothing as they Were
enabled to hastily grasp in their h!ght. Ths
house with all its contents, was entirely con-
sumed.
But the citizens Of the surrounding neigh
borhoOd were aroused by the conhagratiol
and hurried to the spot. Before the negroes
4 could get sufficient distance from the burn
ing building to prevent suspicion OF their com
plcity In the affair, they were discovered, AM
hurried off to the nearest magistrate, at Cecil
3 ton, it is supposed, for trial. Here, an instan
trial was held, and one of the negroes turned
States evidence, and confessed all; Th
; magistrate committed all three to )all, an,
. shortly after midnight, the constable, Will
! the prisoners in charge, started for Eiktoh.
While driving along the road betweel
;, Back Creek and Pivot Bridge the constaoi
was overtaken by q party OF infurate
. citizens, who demanded that the prisoner
!; should be delivered into their custody. II
refused and attempting to resist was severel
injured The crowd then took the negroe
i, into the woods, and there dispensed summar
;, justice after the most approved manner
;. Judge Lynch.
: Such are the particular, as we have hear
= them, and while we regret the hasty action
. the parties who thus violated the law by TAX
~ ing 1t into their own hands, We cannst b'
4. say, that If the circumstances OF the Grim
4 As we have related them, are correct, and Il
!. tiends actually attempted to burn the hOu
~ and destroy its sleeping inmates, their pul
y. shment Is simply matter Of mere justice.
