having taken certain bombastic oaths in
Know Nothing lodge. 1t is even worse than
writing untruthful letters and then denying
them. For in doing that, the Senator merely
disgraced himself and his Office. But in this
sworn McComb testimony he with Others OF
his Administration colleagues are accused OF
bribery, the highest political crime cOnceiv-
able. These charges have been before the
public long enough to receive some attention.
They have failed as yet to elicit any satisfac-
tory response. Only one voice has broken the
ominous silence. Mr.. Blaine, at the moment
of his election, made an evasive denial, when
does not reach tho case. He simply denies
having ever been a stockholder, but does not
deny having enjoyed the usufruct OF these
marvelously productive shares. The rest so
far, stand mute. Not whisper from Soheid
not an eloquent word from Bingham OF
Dawes Mr.. Boutwell,, sitting in place where
the breath of suspicion is fatal, opens not his
mouth. Henry Wilson goes about asking
people to make him the President OF the
Senate, with this ruinous stain upon his name.
He must speak. Unfortunately, his mere word
is no longer enough. But before Investigation
begins, he must plead to the charge.

LAND AND GOLD-AND A FOREIGN MISSION

Again we appeal to the Grant organ to
come forward with its explanation of that
ugly-looking Grant-Jones business in Chicago.
1t need not delay for q bet for we will not
bet on the chances of a national disgrace. If
it can explain the matter, as it boasts, it
should lose no time. Let it do good deed
for once, without trying to make money by
it. Gov. Jewell tried his hand on the matter
last night, entirely without success. His story
went on easily enough until it began to grow
interesting and then it abruptly stopped He
said that Mr. Jones bought and paid for the
Chicago land himself, and afteIward let Gen.
Grant have share of it, for which the Gen.
eral paid S11,22O. If all this is true, it does
not touch the statement made in The Chicago
Tribune of August 8:
"a further investigation will probably show that this
property belongs to the Bishop Hill Colony. and that
Court OF Equity Will decree; that after Jones bought
IT, he concluded to let Grant into the speculation and
drew on him for portion of the purchasemoney; that
he sold part Of it short time before he appointed
Minister to Belgium and reined Grant I'll 900 his
share of the proceeds Of the sale aud made him deed
for the remainder Of the land"
There is sufficiently exact correspondence
of figures between the accusation and the de-
fense. The essential difference is that Gov.
Jewell leaves the $1,000 in the hands of
Jones, and the journalist follows it back to
the President, and finds in its place, in the
pocket of Jones, the commission of Minister
to Belgium. Tho mystery needs more au-
thorized expositOr. John Thomas, stand

The Philadelphia North American has at last
screwed up its courage to the point of speak
ing about Hartranft, but not, we regret for
old acquaintance sake TO say, in the frank
and manly spirit of y0re. 1t simply-as a
criminal lawyer does for a client-enters a
plea of "Not Guilty,' and this would have
been done even if the one inculpated stood
mute. Weeks ago, we addressed to this Or
gan of Philadelphia business integrity certain
precise interrogatories as to matters of fact
and pledged ourselves to publish any reply
our contemporary might make, provided it was
a reply. That pledge, even at this late day,
is not retracted. No one of these questions
has been answered, but, with the equivocal
heading of mot Guilty" and some inter-
jected ribaldry at THE TRIBUNE, hardly
becoming serious controversy aud our
past relations, it says with vague rheto-
ric: ut is not necessary to defend
man (Hartranft) whose record is unimpeach-
able, and has never been questioned, or at
" tempted to be impeached by any reputable
authority" We quote the very words, 80
that there may be no mistake. The North
american then proceeds to aver that certain

We regret that the Stdas-Zeitung should have
been betrayed into tho wanton injustice of charging
The TRIBUNE with provoking the Grant journals
to contest the candidature of Dir. Kernan on
the ground of his being Catholic, by
saying that the Catholics would go in
mass for their companion in religious be-
lief" We request the Stats -ZeitanO to correct ut
once an imputation as injurious 1t is unfounded.
THE TRIBUNE has never said one word that could
be tortured into such a meaning Indeed 1t has
never said word editorially on the subject of Mr..
Kernans religion What it did, and all it did was to
publish dispatch in its news columns repellng the
idea that Mr. Kernans faith could be construed as
threatening danger TO the Common School system.
in case of his election The dispatch showed that
there was no ground for such fear, since he had
pledged himself in the Constitutional Con-
vention against sectarian school appropriations,
and was himself prominent supporter of the public
schools in his own home, sending all his children to
them. The story of the Grant organs that The
TRIBUNE had boasted Of Mr.. Kernan's religion as
sure to bring him the solid support of his fellow
members is without shadow of foundation. IL is

We are gravely informed by special White
House authority that the President and De-
partment of State heTOically refuse to say what
is the exact amount of the award by the Ge-
neva Arbitration moreover, they do not know,
as some additional points are yet to be ar
ranged 1t is pleasant to know, however, that
while the Government resolutely refuses to
divulge the secrets which it does not possess,
it is very much pleased with the result in

both are in the interests of peace.

The Observation-Disclosures it was-which brought
the Emperors of Austria, Russia, and Germany
together at Berlin, has probably been agreed
upon. The sovereigns are about to separate;
but before long a circular may be expected,
conveying 70 the world, in terms more or less
vague, some of the subjects which were dis
cussed. In the mean time the Emperors have sig
nlfed their goodwill by interchanges of acts of
courtesy, some of which are worth noticing.
The Emperor of Germany, for example, has
conferred the honorary rank Of Colonel on the
Emperor of Austria, while the same honor
has been bestowed by the Car ON the sons of
the Crown Prince of Germany, infants
whose ages range from five to thirteen
years. more significant circumstance is
the fact that the Emperor of Austria
not only fmade Prince Bismarck and Prince
GortschakOff Knights of the Order of st.
Stephen, but also Gen. Manteuffel, one of Bis
marck's most bitter enemies This may be
interpreted either as an act of petty spite on
the part of the Emperor OF Austria for the
aggressive policy of Bismarck in 1856, or,
Which IA more probable. as recognition Of

Yesterday was a good day for the fraterniza-

more spirited than those which met in Trenton,

G. b. Mcclellan and Abraham Browning; the

Although more than two years have elapsed
since the Spanish Government made formal
proclamation that hostilities had ceased in
Cuba, the revolution is alive, active, and Or
eanized. A correspondent of The TRIBUNE,
whose letter is to-day published gives some
account of the present prospects and condi-
tion of the insurgent Government, and so
much of its military strength as may be dis
creetly made public. 1t will be seen that the
revolt is likely yet to last an indefinite time.
and the occasional successes of the insurgents
are enough to keep them in good heart.

The Liberals in New-Hampshire took the
field yesterday in admirable style. The Re-
publicens and Democrats held their COnven-
tions in adjoining halls and subsequently the
Democrats marched over to the Liberal
Republican Convention. The Electoral ticket
is conceded to be an excellent one, and our
friends there can elect it if they will. The
same may be said of Connecticut without an

child Of Marshall SlaughtGrs. We
understand there arc two cases in town,
Major Smith, son ofJ. l.. Smith, and

our physicians will be called in time
to have a good chance to check the
disease before it gets much Roadway.

Judge Irvine on the bench. We un-
derstand a large amount of business
was bcfors the Grand Jury, especially
in tho whiskOy line. Several indict.
ments were made for selling whiskey
without license. But very little bust,
ness was transacted by the Court.
We know Of but one State case being
tried, and that was Mr.. Ashley vii.

dollars for acting as sheep dentist

adjourned Saturday evening, much to
