The impeachment of Grant

In a recent editorial, the Pa
t:iot, published within ID stones
throw of the White House, and
with ready access to the neces-
sary documents to substantiate
charges, asserts that if Congress
were to impeach Grant, the fol-
lowing facts could be proved:
He %conspired with degraded
demagogues of foreign countries,
with whom no colorado treaty
relations existed, for the use OF
the ships, arms, and men of the
United States Navy, in the turth-
GRANGE of schemes of personal
ambition and private plundet.
He ~conspired with the same
parties for the spoliation, arrest,
mock trial, imprisonment and
oppression of Davis Hatch, an
American citizen, and others, In a
foreign country, for communica-
ting with the American press.
lie instituted war with a for
eign nation, with which the coun-
try was with perfect amity, in
violation, not only of the Const!-
ton. whice d1sables the President
for making war, fredericksburg
treaty stipulations with that pow
er.
He negotiated with a body OF
Dominican usurpers, led by Baez,
and carried into effect a compact
between the two nations, not
withstanding the United States.
through the rejection of the pro:
posed treaty by the Senate, had
dered it criminal for him to dc
any act under it.
H. manipulated $1,500,0O0 in
gold by paying it over to his
prohigate Dominican accomplices
in pursuance to a treaty not We!
binding or in any sense valid, and
which afterward was actually
made null and void.
He violated the statutes regu
lating the pay and duties of pri
vate secretary of the President
which offence is aggravated by
the establishment OF a military
ring at the executive mansion.
lie violated, as a boon to hi
own son, the statute regulating
the privilege ofleaves Of officer
of the army.
He accepts lands, goods ant
money IN consideration of ap
pointments to Office, and aggra
Yates the abuse by habitually &C
cepting all manner Of present
and favors, to the great scanda
of the public service.
He violated, conspiciously, il
the case of General Siclles, thu
law which forbids the holding O
both civil and military office, b.
making that officer, without re
curing him to resign his military
commission, a diplomatic repre-
sentative.
He has illegally suspended tn;
writ of ha6eas corpus, thereby VIC
Iating all the laws of the Statute
book, in turtherance Of the civil
supremacy, and particularly thu
act of 1890, providing punish
menJ for obstructing the pro
gress Of the courts.

More Frauds.

The New York Sun, of Satur-
day, of last week, publishes a
startling exposure of alleged
frauds and defalcations, amount
ing to several million dollars, in
TIE Stamp Department of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau. Com
menting editorially upon this
statement, the Sun says: The
stamps have. been issued and
sold, but the money to the amount
of the missing millions has not
been returned to the Treasury
This statement is fortified by a
considerable amount of evidence,
and we are assured that there is
much more yet Produced Our
correspondent alleges that the
facts have been for some time
known to various prominent per-
sons who have labored steadily
and hitherto successfully to keep
them hidden. This subject is
one of moment. Let us see
whether the Republican majority
in Congress i'll think it best to
pass it by without investigation"

OUR LOCAL COMMUNICATIONS.

II it be true that "evil communications cor
rupt good Manners" the test is likely to be
severely applied in Chicago during the preva-
lence Of the horae-malady. It is q severe *rial
of the temper of our citizens whose homes and
places of business arc SO widely scattered, that
our ordinary lines Of street-traYel are to be
almost totally interrupted. Saturday morning
found the streets full of pedestrians pushing
cityward with admirable cheerfulness indeed,
but at a sad sacrifice OF time and labor. We
refer elsewhere to the street-railway question.
Within the past few years the homes Of Chicago
have spread widely upon the prairies and along
the lake shore. It is ten miles from Fullerton
avenue on the north, to Si1ty-third street,
the line Of Englewood and the great shore park
on the south and the western limit is Elk
miles from the lake shore. Throughout all this
territory are the homes Of our business men,
our mechanics, our employees, and economical
householders OF oil grades. The most pressing
question OF the hour is whether the street.
embargo can be relieved.
Fortunately, it can be, to large extent. Chi
caco has been liberal in her policy to her rail
roads, and they are coming to the rescue. The
CITY map shows how wonderfully complete is
the railroad system, which can and wiu bring a

The South Side aaloon-keepers who were
summoned for keeping open their places OF
business last Sunday, we're arraigned before
Justice Banyon, at the Police Court, yesterday
morning. The evidence was conclusive in
nearly all the cases, and the Court assessed
larger fines than ever before. Nick. Neybert, who
Was up for the second time, WAS assessed
$50. The Justice was not in talka-
tiya mood, and did not sum
up the cases, merely mentioning the fine when
the testimony was all in. In one case police
man testified that o proprietor offered him three
cigars to go around the corner. Like q good
officer, be refused. The saloon-keeper who
offered the bribe was lectu1ed and fined S25.

ONE VOTE SPOILED.

August Mo1denhauer took out his first pa
pers'' on the 29th Of August, 1871. On Friday
night last he applied for his 'ssecond papers" !"
and Judge Tree passed him. Upon looking
over the papers in the Recorders Office, it was
discovered by one of the clerks that 1871 had
been changed to 1870. Moldenhauer was at
once arrested and taken before Judge Tree. Ho
stated that he had received 8 card from Mr.
senne, candidate for the Legislature on the
Grant ticket, and visited the Clerk Of the Cir
cult Court to get his full papers. They we're
examined, and not having been in his possess
sion two years as the law requires,
we're rejected While in the room he .'met
man he never saw BEFORE" who told him he
could make the papers two years old BY chang.
ing the 187() to 187(0), and could get his second
papers at the Criminal Court. He made the
alteration. In reply to question as to where
be procured the pen and ink, he said at Greene
baum hardware store. The Judge, believing
that tho man who instructed Moldenhauer was
more guilty than he, released him with an ad-
rnonition, declining to issue his "second
papers," and ordering that the forged paper re-
main in the hands of the Clerk OF the Court, and
that paper showing the proper date of his
declaration OF intention to become citizen be
issued to him.

Presidential campaigns. It must also seriously
affect the election. Wherever the disease pre-
walls in the rural districts it will be Impossible
for the farmers to get to the polls. In the cities
the vote will probably be reduced, for that con-
siderable number of voters who always depend
nnon wagons, and won't or can't vote on foot,
will be wanting.
In Chicago, politics which have taken one
wide divergence, owing to the Sunday question,
now take another, owing to the epizootic. As
long as the horses are sick, people will care very
little whether beer flows today or not. The
temperance question goes out of sight, and the
horse steps in. All the little petty questions,
and the big State and National issues, fade into
insgni6cance before the eyes OF that man whose
horse is in the barn, coughing and sniyellng,
he himself putting along on foot, uncertain
whether he can get to any place in any given
time, equally uncertain, as be leaves home in
the morning, when he will again get
to the bosom Of his horseless family. It is Of
no use to talk politics to him now, temperance,
or Sunday-beer, or anything else, for his horse
is sick. All this goes to show upon what slight
himself with uncertain gait into the political
field, and, presto the eagle stops his screaming,
the calcium lights are dimmed, the colored
troops fight badly, the orators voices grow
feebler, the bummers house themselves in the
saloons, and the grasshopper becomes burden

POLITICAL INFLUENCE OF THE HORSE

The epizootic is making itself felt in the po1it-
ical campaign with very decided effect. Ihree
months ago such q statement wonld have been
1idiculed The most astute wire -puller would
have smiled at the idea Of the influence OF the
horse on politics. And yet, if he can prevent
ocean steamers from sailing, cause virtual sus-
pension of wholesale and retail business, induce
etacnation in all commercial enterprises, prevent
the living from fulfilling their social and busl-
ness engagements and the dead from being
buried, and completely lay an embargo on the
attendance upon amusements and Sunday ser
vices, there is no reason why he should not revo-
lutionize, or at least distract, political cam
paign, and this he has DONE he has coughed
and sneozed the enthusiasm all out Of it. It is
of no uso for q man who has got 3 sick horse
to try and be enthusiastic over candidates.
It ia not now the familiar question For whom
will VOL vote ~ but Il How is your horse +"
Greeley men and Grant men have at least agreed
upon one stable topic (no pun intended), and
that is the necessity Of reform in the care and
treatment Of the horse, and soma remedy for his
catarrh. General Grant can DOW, for the first
time. come in for sympathy from his political
opponents. He runs to horses principally, and
there is no doubt that, by this time, they are all
down with the epizootic. AL politicians can
meet on this common ground. and all must
uGer alike in this common aff1ictlon. Ho"
Gu the candidates get to their speaking
p1.ces in the rural districts without horses, OF
hoS can the voters 50 to hear them? What is
the TIT. of the political meeting if you cannot
have the triumphal car with tho six-and-thirty
red: white Ind blue young ladies'? How can the
crowd 'enthuse:,- = without the brass band, ani
Low is tie brass band to be on hand without thu
wagon? How can the amounted hoss cavalry
join in the procession2 How can the country bt
sayed on foot? Surely, now, if ever, the politi
can can appreciate Richards intense desire AMI

campaign must inevitably be a dull one withou

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The candidates for Congress in the Second
District are Mr.. Carter H. Harrison and Mr.. ].
D. Ward. The Oldest inhabtant can hardly re-
call the time when Mr.. Ward was not either q
candidate or an ofdce-holder, and no man better
than Mr.. Ward can illustrate from his own his
tory the rise and progress of parties. In 1854,
Mr.. Ward vas a Democrat of the widest kind,
and, as such, held seat in the Common Coun-
cil The Democratic ascendancy in this city
first gave way to the Know-Nothing party, led
by DR.. Boone, Nr. Danenhower, Cyrus and Tim.
Bradley; and this party, in enforcing the Sun
day laws, plunged the city into the riot of 1855.
Mr.. Ward WAS not long in getting on
the strong side, and he coon b]ossomed
into good, healthy Know-Nothing. The
next year, the Know-Nothing party dis
solved, and Mr. Ward Joined the Republicans,
and was elected to the State Senate, where his
career especially the latter part Of it, was, to
say the least, extremely unsatisfactory to his
constituents.
Mr.. Harrison has been citizen Of Chicago
for nearly twenty years, during which timeh he has
been an active and industrious citizen, exponding
his capital in an earnest effort to build up the
West Division, and bring it to that high rank as
place OF residence which it now enjoys. He
purchased and improved large tracts OF land !;
has largely added to the wealth and prosperity
Of that Division by his own sagacity and in
| dustry, and has never made q dollar by or
through any Office. During the last year Mr..
Harrison has served in the Board OF County
Commissioners to the great benefit Of the
county, and to the general satisfaction OF every
| body not interested in plundering the public.
Both candidates are 40 wellknown that it is
not necessary to make specific allegations con-
cerning either of them. But We ask the goodly
| aud virtuouB citizens Of the West Diyision,
| which of the two they would soonest trust with
! the management Of their private business. Il
they would trust Mr.. Ward rather than Mr. Har-
rison in such case it is perfectly right that
they should vote for him to take charge Of thell
aggregate interests in Congress. If they would
| prefer Mr. Harrison as safe custodian Of thei1
property and their honor, then they should vote
for him. The time for carrying on the war ane
freeing the blacks has gone BY. The blacks be-
ing FREQ enough to mob our city police, then
rights may be deemed secure. Let every mar
apply the test we have named, and Mr. Harrison
will assured1y be elected.
