Dollars Worth of Its btOck-Gffts
for the Wives of Government OFF,
cfRis.
Sitka, Alaska Territory. Cor. of World.l
l am told that when the company was
organized it presented the President
with some thirty thousand dollars worth
of its stock, and thus, through his coun-
tenance, secured the acceptance of its
bid for the lease of the islands of st.
Paul and st. George. The fact that
another firm, that of Taylor 4 Bendell,
of San Francisco, made higher bid in
money than did this company, besides
offering greater advantages in the way
of building school-houses on the islands
and promoting otherwise the welfare
and comfort of the natives, and had their
bid rejected in favor of the Commercial
company, appears to lend color of truth
to the report of the Presidents cennec-
ton with the business. 1t is an exceed
ingly profitable concern, this company,
paying heavy dividends and controlling
vast business; and if President Grant
is interested in it to the tune of $50, 900,
however he may have come by that in
terest, then he is to be congratulated
upon the excellence of his investment
at least from commercial point OF
view. But let it not be supposed that
the President alone of the White House
party derives pecuniary profit and COM
fort from the Alaska Commercial COM
pany.
Mrs. Grant and the wife of another
high official also comes in for a share OF
the good things Last month | was per-
mitted to look upon the rarest. collcc-
tions of sables which | have ever seen
outside of Russia-large, soft, dark, vel
vety skins, singly, might be worth about
$75 in gold; but each skin taken in such
a company of choice companions ac-
quires an added value-let us say then,
and it will be modest figure, that each
one is worth one hundred dollars gold
Well, there are fifty of these skins, value
FIVE thousand dollars, and twenty-five of
them 90 to the wives of our immaculate
White House officials as slight token
Of the Alaska Commercial Company s
great esteem-for their husbands. 1t
would be a work of superorogation to
add that commercial corporations are
usually quite in the habit of parting
with five thousand dollar presents to la
dies. The tribute and its object may be
coarse and rank in the nostrils of high
minded people, but the furs are exquis-
ite, let me assure you.

upon the State and general protest

ture men born on the soil of South
Carolina, bred and trained in her
schools, who have breathed pure moral
atmosphere, to say the least, and
who ought, from the mere force
of contract, if nothing else, with
some of her soholnrs and statesmen,
to be found on the side Of honesty and
virtue, are seen to sneak into the ras-
cally, thieving party of our oppressors.
If they know anything. they know that
this Moses party is false to the core, and
that it's protestations Of reform are all a
lie, sham and an impossibility. They
know that they were in favor of the
passage of the Blue Ridge swindle, and
are largely interested in the redemption
of the scrip. If placed in power again,
they will undoubtedly levy tax for this
purpose. They will just as infallibly
attempt to levy tax for payment of the
interest on the bonded debt of SIG. .O0O,-

The validating bill was passed for pur-

is a measure after the heart OF Moses
and his supporters. It is fraudulent and
tricky. It expresses falsehood, and
hence is congenial to them, and will
afford large field and q golden oppor-
tunity for their manIb bnlating hands.
Now. the new recruits know all this to
be true, just as we'll as the old stagers.
They know that they go to the vilest set
OF men who ever flohed or grasped the
control OF State. Going with their
eyes open, they go with guilt in their
hearts. No man can join rogues, know
ing them to be such, and at the same
time retain the good opinion of honest
men. No man con roll in filth. without

honesty even, cannot tolerate the rene

decency and principle, and. with their
associations, cast away their integrity aa

Correspondence Of the Ph@ni1.

NEW YORK CRY, September 81, 1872.
Mr.. EDITOR: Let our people be of
good cheer. The great battle for the
publication of the Government and the
pacification OF the country is now raging
along the whole line. In Maine and
Vermont it was only picket skirmish
that precedes the grand battle. Mr..
Greeley will get one-third of the Re-
publican vote, and if the Democrats can
be brought in body to his support. he
will be triumphantly elected. Now that
the State tickets here are all in the field,
on both sides. the assaults are terrific.
We feel confident of New Hampshire.
Connecticut. New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, md I
was informed yesterday at the Liberal
headquarters that Ohio was certain for
Greeley. Governor Curtin, of Pennsyl-
vania, is strong for Greeley. and he is
power in that State. Ex-Governor Sey-
mour, Hon. George II. Pendleton and
others will now take the field, and their
voices will be heard loud and clear above
the storm of battle. rallying the Demo
cratic columns in the Liberal cause.
Mr.. Greeley hos 10000 Office holders
and the patronage of corrupt Govern
ment against him, but he has the great
masses Of the people with him, because
they know he is honest and just, and
when elected will administer the Govern
ment with exact justice. Would that
the black people could see it, and would
kick out the thieves and corruptionists,
who, for selfish purposes, are leading
them to their ruin and the ruin of the
State. Mr.. Greeley has ever been their
friend. He battled for their freedom
for thirty-fve years. Now that it is
secure. he is battling to put honest men
in Office, that the condition of all classes
may be ameliorated. our free institutions
perpetuated, and the South built up by
being opened up to capital and labor.
Let our people be of good cheer, for our
cause is just and will prevail. I remain
yours. as ever, ELLISON s. KEITT.

In accordance with II previous IN.
nouncement, ut about o'clock Sunday
afternoon, the relatives and friends of
Capt. John D. Caldwell assembled at his
Lutte residence to pay the last sad tribute
of respect to his memory. Many years
have passed since we have been called
upon to bear witness to such u fervid
exhibition of the sad feelings of this
community. Long before the hour Of
had arrived, an immense assemblage of
citizens had filled the residence, the
front yard and the pavements on each
side of the front Of the house. The
dense crowd even extended to the squares
above and below. In that vast con-
course, there were few hearts that wore
not touched by the pitiful walls OF the
afflicted family as they Aoated out upon
their ears; and many eyes dropped tears
Of sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved
family. Sorrow for the deceased and
his family pervaded the hearts of oil
classes and conditions Of society. John
was regarded with the same feeling OF
admiration by ell who knew him.
''None knew him but to love;
Mono named him but to praise"

AS announced in Sundays issue, the
Coroner adjourned the inquest, after
hearing tho testimony of L. II. Elmore,
Esq, aud Richard Washington, until 10
o'clock, Sunday morning, when the an-
ne1ed additional testimony was heard:
DR.. A. N. Talley testified that death
was caused by gun-shot wound be.

the heart, near the breast.bone; passed
downward and backward, penetrating
the heart; and was recovered behind, be-
tween the eighth and ninth ribs.

which ho had deposited in the bank was
examined. It was fve.shooter. second

ball taken from the body was examined
and found to fit the pistol. It was but
little fattened. The witness corrected
his statement of Saturday. by saying he
