Afraid of their own yyitnesses.

Enough has already been disclosed in
the custom house investigation, despite
tire efforts of The administration commit
tecmen 10 prevent it, to show that the
custom house is a,,foul nest of corruption
This could not he concealed; because it
was so thoroughly putrid that WHEREVER
il might be punctured suppuration was
sure to follow
The energy and ingenuity of the adj
ministration members of the committee
are now all directed to shielding and ex-
cuipating the Radical candidate for Pres
ident. PORTER and BABoocK,of the Pres
ident's household, had the temerity to
offer their services TO swear their master
out of the ring. The committee there
fore ordered them to be summoned,
which was accordingly done. But in the
meantime, HOWE, who is leading attor-
ney for his presidential candidate, went
TO Washington, and was cioseted with
PORTER, BABcocK and GRANT He had
seen the manner in which CAssERLY piled
his forceps in extracting the trnth from
swift witnesses. He entertained whole
some doubts about PORTER and BAB-
COCK getting through as smoothly as
they expected
Back he goes to New York, and among
his FIRST movements was one to rescind
the order summoning them. All the ad-
ininistration Senators voted to rescnd,
and it was accordingly done. But for
fear those over confident witnesses
should voluntarily present themselves,
the secretary of the committee was in'
structed to telegraph Immediately to
these messmates of LEEr and domestics
Of GRANT to not appear
tits certainly not straining the proba-
bilities to conclude that these two wit
nesses were rejected because it was fear
ed they would he compelled by the keen
cross-examination to make disclosures

ond Demands with equal suffrage for

Fifth denounces Capitalization, and the
growing encroachments of Executive
power in the use of coercion or bribery
to ratity treaty, packing the Supreme
Court to relieve rich corporations, and
the seating of members of Congress not
elected by the people. Sixth declares
that there should be an uprising of the
people to keep from power men who
prostitute their official power to selfish
interests, ,and denounces any reputation

Political ASSpsSmrnss on Federal
Officers.

The practice which, under Radical
IN 'nagcment, has grown to such hu. e
proportions Of assessing a tax on fede-
raj officials for partisan purposes de-
serves a word OF commcnt
1t might appear at Grst glance as if it
were the business of nobody but these
officials themselves whether or not they
give share Of their salaries to political
managers But others have all interest
in the matter as we'll rs the pluckei oili-
ciaIs.
Iu the first place much Of the money
thus raised IS useG for corrupting cleo
iions, and ~ this everybody is injnri-
ously affected
In the next place this practice by a lit
tie indircctoh, takes this nonev from
the taxpayers at large. If Il salary be
affixed to al olli.e of such magnitude as
to give the officer 4 fair compensation
for his services, due allowance must he
made in fixing the amount for this
political assessment, and the salary must
be to that extent increased
Thus, if fifteen hundred dollars lie n
fair compensation for performing GER
tain official duties, but the official is re.
quircd to contribute fifty dollars 10 tke
corruption fund, then the salary.to com
pensate him, must be fifteen hundred and
fifty dollars This fifty dollars is there
fore taken, by a little circumlocution,
from the tax payers for the use Of sche-
ming politicians
Yet to the remotest ramiGcations Of
GRANTS administration this disrcputa.
bic practice prevails. That GRANT ap-
proves it, and designs its continuance is
abundanily evidenced by the fact that he
endorsed Collector MURPHY, who carried
it beyond all others, and the further fact
he drove Cox ont of the Cabinet because
Cox attempted to prohibit it in his de
partmcfit
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1872-02-13

EE The Athens Messenger has fixed
the matter all up, so there need be no
further trouble about it. 1t shows In .
labored leader that many Of the default
ing federal officials were appointed by
JOHNSON. 1t complacently ignores the
fact that they were continued in Office by
GRANT, and the further fact that JOHN
SON was tied hand and foot by the tenure
of Office act
But leaving those facts out Of sight,
as the Messenger seems to wish, perhaps
it is not out of order to inquire what
party elected JOHNSON to the Vice Pres
idency, by which means he became Pres
ident? Is the party which is responsible
for JoHNsoN's election responsible for
his acts, or is it the party which did its
utmost to defeat him?
We utterly fail to see that the Raeical
party is innocent Of any completely in
the frauds perpetrated under JOHNSON,
or of those of JoHNsoN's appointees re-
tanned by GRANT.

A Sound Platform.

That able organ of the New York De-
mocracy, the Brooklyn Eagle, lays down
very succinct and practical platform for
the approaching Presidential campaign,
in the following sentence:
"Letit be understood that we dc not
want Democrat to be elected next fall
half so much as we want gentlemaH, a
statesman. and q man OF houor, no matter
what his politics, elected over anepotist,
4 gift-taker, and corrupt head of noto-
riously numerous and corrupt family"
This is the feelings of the best portion
of the people, and intelligent Republicans
as well as Democrats. The sort of Pres
dent we have now they are sick and tired
of. They want gentleman,a "a statesman,
and a man of honor. And they will have
him.
