Are thew all scamps !

In reading the Radical papers
just now we are astouished to find
what a lot of euttthroate, trick
sters, vagabonds, and what not
the Radical party is composed of.
Even the very best, most promi-
nent and trusted men IN that par
ty, are denounced as such by their
late chums and fri nds. Old Hor-
ace, too, it seems, is quite a rascal,
if we may believe the Radical pa
pers, although he has heretofore
been locked upon as an honest
and inoffeusive gentleman. We
knew that the radical party was
made up of bad material, but we
had no idea THAT its leading men
e half as bad as the radicals
are now charging them with be-
ing. Mind, we don't charge these
criminaIities upon thom, but their
own papers do so. But, if Gree
ley, Sumner, Mcclure, Curtin.
Brown, Davis, Chase, and the
rest are such "sceundreis,", what
must the Others such as Evans.
Hartranft, Allen, Grant, Morton,
and their set he who have been
proved by the record not to be o.
the angel kind. A little more
rope for the radicals, and they
will convict themselves all az
Grim inafs of the deepest dye.

We recognized the harmony that
prexailedinon rseYeral State Con

there ia good promise for the flu

good government and the friends

Theirs is an evident determination
to abolish all narrow differences

II Eeru Great Ch@mge.

The Boston Journal said the
r day that Seen. Grant 1s, po-
litIcaHy and personally,jus about
what he was on his election TO the
presidency, while the Democratic
party is equally unchanged" The
Springfield Republican hastens to
deny this,remarking that the Jour
nal finds it easier to beg the ques-,
ton than to argue it, and says it
assumes a good deal more than it
can handiIy prove. The Presi-
dent in the matter Of personal
character may be the same man
he was in 1868, although scrip
ture tells US that evil communica
lions corrupt good manners, but
politically it is absurd to say that
he stands where Ire did then. The
Republican thus reviews his
course: !.
Then, he was a new man in poll
tics. His fitness for high civil
office had not been tested. The
people took him on trial. They
were impressed with the ability he
had displayed in his profession;
they were deeply grateful to him
for his part in the suppression of
the rebellion; they credited him
with modesIy, good sense, and
rare skial in reading character;
they hoped the best from his ad-
ministration. He had not then
repealed from his confidence and
society the trusted statesmen Of
the Republican party. He had
not made up a cabinet on the ba-
sis, of personal friendship. He
had not afronted public opinion
by appointing moneyed benefac-
tors to office, and bile ting his re-
Iatives upon the treasury. He
had not invented aSan Domingo
policy, and gone to the Capital to
lobby it through a reluctantS SEN
ate. lie had not called into be-
ing the most inselent and disre>
putable ring every seen in our
politics. He lad not installed
MIR. Thomas Murphy in the posi-
ton of prime favorite and presi-
dent of the privy council. Hehad
notlaid himself open to the scath-
ing criticism of Mr.. Sumner-that
he seems to regard the chief mag
fstracy of therepublic as a perqui-
site and a.plaything. He had not
meddled in the local politics of
the States, nor falsified the prom
Uses of his friends by scheming for
a second term, attempted to make
the advocacy ofhis denomination
a test of party fidelity. All these
things were in the future in 1868;
few OF the millions who voted for
Gen. Grant had any provision of
Them. 10 say that ne stands now
where he stood then, is to talk
very carelessly or very absurdly.

Some of the Grant men express
the hopes which only show their
desperation, that they will be
saved by the Democratic vote for
Grant. This idea only indicates
that the fools are not all dead yet,
for there are1literally no Demo-
Gratis who will vote for the bride
taker and gift-distributor. Had
he been a fair and decent Presi-
dent; had he not been q tyrant
over the South; had he not been
the prosecutor of the Northern
Democrats; had he not been per-
sonally corrupt and dishonest, he
might have received some Demo
cratic votes; but at present he
will get none, no matter whom he
is running against. The univer-
sal feeling is to make an end of
Grant-to get him out of the
White House is the first great OBJ
stacle 10 reform. Out he will go.

The alarm has spread even a.
mong the Radical ofice-holders in
Washington, and the administra-
ton organ, the Republican, thus
threatens the clerks in the depart
ments: "
Between five and six thousand
gentlemen hold office in Washing
ton and draw salaries that at least
they do not care to give up. They
hold these offices because the Re-
publican party is in power. Now,
if they are not willing to work for
the party's success in the future,
as III the past, we believe it is
their plain duty to resign. We
know that there is a great deal of
hedging and fencing among hun
dreds of them, and that, as the
Herald says, they are anxiously
looking to Baltimore and specula-
ting upon the success of the ticks
ct that may be nominated there.
70 these gentlemen we have this
to say: The Republican party is
entering on the greatest of its ma
ny campaigns. It intends to
draw the lines fairly and ~squarely
between its friends and its ene>
mics, and expects that every one
will DO his duty.

The61. Old Game.

Now that we are approaching
anothec Presidential campaign,
we see these same -men--these
men who srobbed the treasury of
tens of millions of dollars'-at-
tempting to revive the old war
feeling and to fight the battles Of
the rebellion over again. Their
object is the same as before-S'to
attract attention from their Grim
inal transactions" There are
still fine ,pickings to be had, and
where there are no pickings
Grant will make them. The San
Domingo job; the eale of arms to
the French, In violation of inter
national law; the fraudulent bills
trumped up for Indian supplies;
the Freedman's Bureau: the
called Ku-Klux investigations;
the pillaging of the Southern
States; the gold gambling ar
rangement, by which Grant him
self made $50, 900 without invest
ing a cent: tire Custom House
frauds at New York aud other
points-all these, and hundreds
of oshet speculations, are oren
for "loyal thieves to prey upon
should they continue in power
four years longer. Nc wonder
they want to keep up strife; no
wonier they want Grant re-elect-
ed. Grant suits them. BY some
means or other Grant has made
| for himself two or three millions
| of dollars inside of three years,
and he feels a sympathy for those
who pile up riches by their wits.
Grant has been pl a
~trickster, deceiver and dishonest
official by nearly every man of
note belonging to his party. 1t
will be admitted by every one,
we presume, that Sumner, Trum=
bull and Schurz are the three
leading Republican U. S. Sena>
tors. What do they say about
the gifttaker? Why, they speak
of him. as one of the weakest,
most corrupt, shameless dema-
gogues that ever occupied any
position. Indeed, the brains, the
honor and the patriotism of the
Republican party are solid against
| Grant. Ask a Grant Republican
to name "a solitary statesman Of
his party who favors Grant, and
who will he name? Morton, an
employed attorney and dabbler
lin Jobs and contracts-a man as
destitute of honor and deeency
as Grant himself. Another, per-
haps, will name Butler-Beast
Butler, the spoon-thief-a man
who robbed the people of New
Orleans of nearly every dollar
they possessed in the world. Of
course Cameron-the virtuous
Simon-is an ardent supporter
of Grant-of conrse! And these
are the statesmen" who sup
port the gift-takerr" What a
set of beauties! Let the people
think. Let Republicans read
their own papers--the Ring pa
pers and those opposed to the
Ring and eorruption--and ifthey
areanot bigoted fools who are de:
termlned not to be convinced.
they Hill come to the conclusion
that the men of their party who
have been running the govern,
ment the last few years are cor
rupt to the core, and unworthy
the support of any man who is
not a sympathizer and approves
ofGvillainyiin it's most aggrava-
ted form.

W The vexcd capital" question in Con.
necticut seems to be in way Of settlement
At last, although good deal of time must yet
alapse before the question can be finally dis.
posed of. Last year the city of Hartford was
80 fortunate as to secure the location there Of
very costly and splendid State house tnow
being erected, by gft Of some eleven huud
red thousand dollars to the State. The citi.
Gems Of New Haven determined to have O
building at least as fine in their city, Offering
,bout the same sum to the legislature which
recently assembled That body has discussed
the New Haven offer and decided by sufii
eient majority to reject the New Haven offer
aud to submit an amendment to the people
making Hartford the sole capital. This vot,
makes it tolerably sure that the people Of the
State will welcome the propositiou to establish
the capital at Hartford. But as the amend
ment must have a two.thirds vote IN the mex
assembly before it can go to the people, Tho
friends of New Haven will still have an op
portunity to delay the matter if they are 81
disposed.

" The New York meeting, called OF
Thursday of last week by Carl Schurz and
others Of those Liberal Republicans and Free
Traders who were SO disappointed at the re.
suit of the Cincinnati Convention, appears tc
have been pretty substantially captured by
the Greeley men. The sessions of the meet.
ing on Thursday were private, but it has
leaked out that Mr.. Schurz and others of the
more prominent members made speeches favor.
ing the election of Greeley. The Radical
Free Trade element, however, refused to be
comforted at this result and held another eau.
Gus on Friday, at which time Mr.. William s.
Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, was put in nomina-
ton for the Presidency, and Mr.. Frederick
Law 0lmstead, of New York City, for To,
Vice Presidency. The most of those who
were originally opposed to the Cincinnati
ticket after going into the convention found il
useless to contend further, and only few
brave spirits who really care more fora priu
ciple than for the defeat Of the President
stood out against Mr.. Greeley. As tn,
originators Of the Cincinnati movement hav'
been outgeneraled aud oyerhorne by Mr.
Greeey's strikers, so will the latter be over
come aud outwitted by the Democrats who
have taken up the candidacy with such fervor
However, in the present outlook, it is of NJ
sort Of consequence, as the Republican party
will beat whoever wins in the petty preim
mary intrigues.
