The Postal Department of the
government is one in whose honest
management the mass of the peo-
pie, are more directly interested in
than any other, and it illustrates in
its workings the economy and care
that characterize the administration
of General Grant The Department
has just prepared statement rela-
tive to the amount of defalcations
therein during the present admins
tration up to March 31st of the
present year. The total disburse-
ments and receipts in the money or,
der bureau added to the general
postal fund, amount under Presi-
dent Grant for three year and twen-
ty-seven days to $17S,76S, 1886.
The total defalcation has been $9,-
t3l5.49 of which $2,466.95 has al
ready been collected. Suits to re-
cover the balance have been institu-
ted, and most of it will befobtained
for the treasury. During Buchan-

was $319, ,54S.S2; in Lincoln's $685.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Reports from Washington county
Pa, regarding political matters, are
very satisfactory. The Republicans
are cordially united on Grant, with
the usual exception of a sorehead
here and there. In Washington
borough some half dozen have
pronounced for Greeley, but when
each case is inquired into reason
can be assigned above and beyond
any love they have for him. On the
other hand, scores of Democrats are
outspoken and emphatic in their
hostility, and swear that they will
never touch Greeley. They are now
circulating call for a meeting to
arrange for the sending of delegates
to the straight Convention at Louis
vile. At least one-third of the
Democrats of this county will not
support the Radical Philosopher
whiie not few are pronounced
Grant men. -"

FIGHTING OVER THE PREY.

The strife ,5fOr the ownership OF
would be President is waxing warm
The Liberal and Democratic sup
porters of the conglomerate ticket
have been hungry so long that their
noses are preternaturally keen, they
can scent the flesh pots Of office
afar of, and no sooner do they catch
the grateful Whit than they quarrel
over the division of the spoil. Each
claims Greeley as ''his meat" and
is bound to salt him down for his
own use. The Liberal warns the
Democrat off his premises, and the
Democrat threatens to kick out the
Liberal if he puts step inside the
gate. Poor Greeley is all this time
uncertain to which side he belongs.
With a Democratic hook in his
nose he peers out of the Liberal
pocket into which he is buttoned,
and what he knows about being a
candidate is becoming a very ln-
pleasant bit of wisdom. --.h l-'l,l
But supposing he is elected. Then
will come his real trials and tortures
The horde of office-seekers who
hurried poor Harrison to his tomb
in one short month after his inaug-
uration, will appear in history as
gentle and considerate, compared
with the swarm of bioodsuckers
that will blacken the White House
when Greeley takes up his quarters
there. The fight commenced now
over the mere smell of victuals will
become a struggle of ravening
wolves when the prey is actually
within reach. The Democratic hook
will tear the cartilage out of Gree
ley's nose. and the Liberal clutch
the seat out of Grecley's neither
garment, before either will snrren-
der the prize; and when either ca
tastrophe happens the contestants
will take fresh hold and try again.
If Greeley is not in his grave, or in
a lunatic asylum, at the end of his
first six months in the White House
provided he ever gets there he
will have better fortune than most
people predict for him. Whether
the Blairs and their kinsman, Gratz
Brown, would regret such a sad end
of Greeley's ambition we leave the
public to judge. What sort of Pres
ident Gratz Brown would make, with
his relatives, the Blairs.as 'the pow
er behind the throne" those who
now hurrah for Greeley and choke
at Browns name, can form some idea.

DRUNK As ANDY.

1t is understood that Gratz Brown
was mauldin drunk at New Haven
when he made famous speech a
few days ago, and the Democratic
leaders are seriously contemplating
the idea of applying the gag to both
Brown and Greeley. Andy John
son In his famous swing around the
circle, never babbled more complete
nonsense, than did Greeley at Bos-
ton or Brown at New Haven. Brown
was reported sick from eating un-
ripe cherries and stale crabs, and
Greeley had the presidential itch.

EY,s BARGAIN.

The impelling motive and bond OF
union lying back of the Cincinnati
and Baltimore Conventions has at
last made its appearance. 1t now
comes out that this secret agreement
was the favoring of law providing
for the payment of pensions to reb
.el soldiers, as the price Of his nom.
ination. 1t is a very serious con.
cern, which not only impugns the
honor of Greeley, and his confed
crates, but also vitally affects the
whole loyal people of the country
who are not yet ready to insult the
memories of the martyred saviors
of the Republic by recompensing
the armed treason and rebellion thai
laid them low.
If he is willing to bind himsel1
to exert his influence to procure the
payment Of pensions to rebel sol
dies, for the mere sake of getting s
democratic hook in his nose," Oh
even to contemplate such subject
the length to which he might posi-
bly, go when the barbs were fairly
fastened and the lines were in the
hands of the rebelocracy, may well
make thoughtful men pause and re
fleet. In the light of the revelations
that are now being made the intense
solicitude of the Democracy to OBJ
tain control Of Congress and the
candidates own pledges to ignore
the veto power in the event of his
election, leaving the entire direc
ton of affairs in the hands Of thai
body, assume an ominous .signif
canoe. Well might the New YorE
World Withdraw its opposition t6
his nomination, and Forrest, Beau
regard, Semmes, Davis, and the un
repentant leaders of the rebellion
generally, rally as one man to hi'
support. tits time for patriots tt
be on guard. s,e, -f --.

A story is told on Mr.. Greeley
which makes his present association
with Gratz Brown on the Presiden
tial ticket seem a little curious. Ii
the fall of 1870, before the Novem
ber election, the great and good ole
man made a tour to the West, and
visited Missouri among other States
Brown was at that time running fol
Governor, and with good prospects
of success. When Greeley returned
he was met by several Republican
friends, who asked respecting the
indications. He gave his opinion
about ali the States he had visited
and finally came to Missouri. Now
said he, in that squeak so familiar
to those who have heard him in his
swearing mood, '..that id little
red-headed cuss, Gratz Brown is
going to give that State to the Dem.
ocrats."

RIDICULOUS,

Looking at Horace Greeley as q
new exponent of Democracy and
the nominee of that party for the
Presidency, the spectacle becomes
ridiculous enough to be scoffed at
on every hand. The Cincinnati
Commercial of a recent date, in
predicting the present anomalous
situation of things, remarked as fol
lows: ''To make him the Democrat.
ic nominee would be an act of DO
litical qualification so extraordinary
as to be gigantically grotesque. 1t
would be impossible for an honest
Democrat to look his fellow in the
face without laughing at the absurd
ity of his attitude before the pub
lie"

THE. PRESIDENT ON INDIRECT
~ Z, I.L CLAIMS. IL

A New York Herald correspond
ent has interviewed President Grant
and among other things drew out
from him his opinion on the result
tof the indirectAclaims controversy,
which is reported thus: 40 I,ile s.ai
Grant smiling triumphantly y
Great Britain has gained no victory
at all, sir. The triumph has been
all ours, and a great and important
triumph it is. We have got the
whole question just where we want
ed it, and solved as we wished it to
be. 1t is of greater Importance to
the United States than to any coun-
try in the world that the rights and
duties Of neutrals shall be distinct
ly ascertained and definitely settled
precisely as they have just been. In
the event of any civil or interna-
tional foreign war, particularly one
in the results of which the people
of this country, or any considerable
portion of them, might feel inter-
ested, we would find ourselves with
almostinterminable ecoastand bound
ary lines, which could only be watch
ed with the greatest difficulty and
cost, if they could be successfully
protected by the available resources
and sources of the government,
which is more than doubtful. We
will be neutrals in the next war and
for all the future; and it might be
England's turn if that declaration
had not been made by the Geneva
Conference, to present us with q
long bill for indirect damages infiict-
ed on her commerce. We might
reply, Oh, we didn't present any
claims for indirect damages when
privateers from your ports served
us in a similar manner; but Great
Britain would undoubtedly answer,
"Why didn't you, if you thought of
it. f'you neglect your own inter-
ests, you must not expect us to fol-
low your foolish example" That
plausible reply is now taken out of
her mouth, and done too by her own
act and deed, which makes. victory
doubly ours. Now should any of
our people put her in such jeopardy
and do her such damage as the sub
jects of Great Britain did us, and
she demand compensation, we shall
simply reply,prove that, considering
the available resources Of this gov
ernment, we did not exercise all
reasonable watchfulness to prevent
our citizens from sending out priva-
teers, and then we shall consider
your claims, and nottill then. 7"a

EIGHTEENTH DISTRICT.

The Republicans Of the new
Eighteenth Congressi onal District
composed of Lorain, Medina, Sum
nit and Wayne counties, met a
Medina on Wednesday and nomina
ted by reclamation the Hon. jaime.
Monroe, who now represents the
Fourteenth District, made up Of
Ashland, Holmes, 'Lorain, Medina
and Wayne counties. The manner
of his nomination is a very decided
compliment to Mr.. Monroe, for the
District he will represent is remark
able for its number of able men who
stand high in the opinions of theil
fellow Republicans, and who would
worthily represent the District in
Congress. That they should decline
to allow their claims to be presen.
ted in opposition to Mr.. Monroe is
about as strong testimonial to his
fitness tor the position, and to the
ability and faithfulness shown in it
as could have been devised.
Mr.. Upson, who, under the ar
rangement of districts, became q
possible competitor of Mr.. Monroe
some time since announced his pos
tive refusal to permit the use Of his
name in connection with the nomi-
nation. Mr.. Upson has been, whilst
representing the present Eighteeth
District, q hard working and faith.
full member. No man in Congress
has more conscientiously attended
to his duties, been more watch .ul OF
the interests of his district, or more
scrupulous in casting his vote only
for what he believed to be right.
He will retire at the close of his
second term in Congress with the
conviction in all mems minds that
he did his duty honestly and unset
fishly. We, who at the close of the
present term part company from
Summit county, can congratulate
our friends in that county on the
unsullied record of their present
Representative, and on the certainty
of being represented in the next
Congress by another gentleman in
whom they can repose entire conf
dence, both for honesty and ability.

"THE GIFT-TAKER." !"

This fling of the Democrats and
anti Grant Republicans against the
President, is the most unjust and
at the same time ungenerous of the
accusations by which his enemies
hope to drive him out of office. II
is true that General Grant took
gifts as a soldier, but it is false that
he has taken them as President.
His conduct in the former instance
is above criticism, and his charac-
ter on account Of it above reproach.
But we find in the Columbus State
Journal letter from Assistant Sec
retary of the Interior Cowan to Hon
r. c. Kirk, of Mt. Vernon, author
itively contradicting them. 1t is as
follows: ii-' .-sfsa s'a-'.-
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
WASHINGTON, June Is, '72. d
DEAR GovERNoR:-The Secretary
has referred your letter of the 10Th
inst, to me, with directions to reply
for him to the interrogatories there
in. =" sag 7''l g. j. ii"fl-l
Relative to the receipt of valuable
presents by the President: Since
he became President-and in fact
since his nomination for President
in May, 1868, he has never received
a single valuable present from any
person whatever. This you may
rely on as being literally and strict
ly true. The Long Branch cottage
he bought and paid for himself,
and furnished it at his own expense.
Before his nomination he did re-
ceive some valuable presents,as did
also Mcclellan and Sherman, and
which l presume no one will find
fault with. Since that time any
charge to the contrary is malicious
and unfounded. Il
Very Truly yours, '.i-' "

OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

The calls for the Republican Con
gressional conventions have already
been made in several of the neigh
boring districts, and there is nc
reason for further delay in the
Eighteenth District.
Our District is extremely foNu
nate in having had two Represents
tives within its borders, either o.
them surprising the average Con.
gressman in ability and services
We are too well OIL. If it rested
with Summit county to settle the
matter, the man would soon be nam.
ed. The people here have tried Mr..
Upson and know that he is man
of sterling worth, who both thinks
Alright and votes Alright. Theil
preference would be to stand by
him.
But Summit is only one of four
counties in the District, and the
people of Lorain, Medina and
Wayne believe as firmly in Mr.,
Monroe as we do do in Mr.. Upson.
And we'll they may. Already Mr..
Monroe has become known beyond
the borders of his District and is
looked up to as bidding fair to be-
come one of the leaders of the House
His record is a good one, and his
future is full of promise.
But Mr.. Epson himself prefers
not to be candidate in opposition
to Mr.. Monroe. 1t is well known
here that Mr.. Upson has sacrificed
his personal interests and suffered
in his business by entering the pub
lie service. But this consideration
does not move him so much as that
MIR. Monroe is now upon his first
term of service, while he himself is
serving SECOND term. 1t has been
common with the party in this sec
tion to give faithful representative
a second term, and Mr.. Upson is
not willing that Mr.. Monroe should
be deprived of this.
1t is probable, therefore, that the
Republicans of Summit county will
join their brothers in Lorain, Me.
dina and Wayne in giving the Hon
Orable James Monroe a unanimous
denomination. - Summit County
