The Ex-Ppesident of the African
republic of Liberia, having followed
the example set by Grants Admins
-tration in the country, took to plum
dering the public treasury. The LII
berians not appreciating that sort of
thing, cast him into prison. He es-
capped therefrom, however, and in at
tempting to swim to an English
steamer from the shore, was drowned.
His name was Roye, and he was born
at Newark, Ohio.

FERNENsT GRANT-A despatch from
New Orleans dated the 9Th says: "The
Times published a long interview
with Governor Warmoth, in which,
after stating that he had no intention
ofmaking friends with PresidentGran
the Governor said: 81 intend to sup
port the nominee of the Cincinnati
Convention if General Grant is NOM
mated at Philadelphia. 1 am unqual-
ifiedly and determinedly opposed to
General Grants reelection as Presi,
dent of the United States" His rea-
son for opposing Grant is that Grant
supported the Federal officials of Lou
isiana in their efforts to destroy the
State Government.
Governor Warmoth further said eff
under any circumstances 1 consented
to become a candidate for reelection,
it would only be as Reformer on the
Reform platform"

The Radicals In the Legislature are
doing their level best to get up an ap-
portionment of the State that will
give their party sixteen or seventeen
members of Congress and the Demo-
Gratis but three or four. They have
not enough majority in the State, if
they are able to maintain that of last
fall, to entitle them to more than elev-
en- members out of the twenty to
which the State is entitled. That is a
pretty commentary upon Radical pro-
fessions of honesty and fair dealing.

WHAT has become of the Radical
blarney about Civil Service Reform 2
Grant recommended it in his message
and the press of that party all over
the country endorsed his recommen-
dation. Yet nearly every administra-
ton Senator has declared against any
reform in the civil service, and the
party will stand by these Radical
Senators. Is there not manifestly q
little hypocricy mixed with these
Radical professions?

smoking them Out.

The New York Sim makes some
damaging charges against Secretary
Robeson, of the Navy Department.ac-
cusing him with plundering the Treas
ury to to the amount of $4,000. That
journal says that two years ago Robe
SON was a poor lawyer in Camden,
New jersey, now lie is General
Grants Secretary of the Navy and a
very rich man in WashingtoR. 1t re-
iterates its charges that he has become
rich by robbing the people of the Uni
ted States and declares that the evil
dence is clear, abundant, irresistible,
and can be Immediately brought for
ward. Most of it is to be found in the
records and among the officers and
subordinates of the Navy Depart
ment.o
The N. 7. Times Washington cor
respondent says:
"There is good reason to believe
that the terrific blows struck by the
Sun have at last sent G. NJ. Robesen
to grass. Excitement prevails in the
Navy Department to-day, at an appar-
emily trustworthy report which has
leaked out from the Department. A
prominent naval officer told me to-
night that Grant had requested Robe
son to hand in his resignation at once,
to save what seems to be an inevita-
BILE investigation into his (Robeson's)
gigantic robberies. Grant is thor
oughIy alarmed, and fully understood
that the furry kicked up in the House
to-day by Blair's resolution is only
the prelude to something more ear
nest in the Senate. Several gentle
men from New York and Philadelphia
who are determined to have this Robe
SON matter probed to the bottom, are
here in conversation with Sumner,
Schurz and Upton, and the probabili-
ty is that in day or two a call will be
made in the Senate for full investi-
CATION of the Suns damaging charge.
To avoid this, if possible, it is
positively asserted tonight that
Grant has already asked Robson to
give up his portfolio. Mr.. Holmes E.
Offey. the Chief Clerk of the Navy
Department, told my informant that a
letter had already been addressed to
John Forney, asking him to accept the
place. If this be true, it will place the
Colonel in an awkward dilemma. The
Navy portfolio is what Forney has
sighed and longed for ever since he
got out of leading strings; but in
view of the fact that he has just re-
signed place, as he said, to be more
Independent, it is difficult to see how
he can possibly accept the coveted of
fee now rendered him without ma
king himself the laughing stock of the
country. One thing is true: There is.
but little doubt in the mind of any one
here that the Sun'sexposures of Robe
son are strictly true that they know
they are true in the Navy Department
and apparent to all who witness the
frightened faces that dodge in and out
and around the rooms of that building.
The Bureaucrats are worse scared
than any. They see their power slip
ping away, and perhaps vision of
iron bars in the future"

The U. S. Senate elected the Com
mittee to investigate the sale of arms
and munitions of war, by ballot, and
Senators Sumner and Schurz, who
originated the inquiry. were both left
off from the Committee, This will be
regarded as evidence that the friends
of the administration are exceedingly
anxious to learn all about that little

The Ohio State journal calls the adj

HORRIBLE MURDER.-,A despatch
from Louisville, KY, dated the 8th
inst, says:
At an early hour this morning,
three negroes forced an entrance into
the house of Joseph Mcneil, an old
citizen, living near Danville Station,
on the Knoxville Branch Railroad,
and literally chopped him to pieces
with and ak, in the presence of his
wife, who, seeing her husband dead,
fed to another room and barred the
door. Her cries for help frightened
the negroes away before they succeed
ed in robbing the house, which was
doubtless their object, as Mcneil was
very wealthy. A large party of citi-
zens organized shortly after daylight
and started in pursuit of the murder
ers. The excitement in the vicinity is
intense"

The action of the young Democrats
of Bucyrus, Crawford County, is wor-
thy of imitation by the friends of the
good cause everywhere. They have
formed Club for the campaign of
1872, and purpose to give Jealous and
earnest labors to promote the success
of the Democracy. If the young DEM
ocrats everywhere throughout the
country-in township, town and city

Robberies of the Treasury.

RObberieS of the Treasury.
A Washington special of the 10th
inst says:
A bill passed by the House on FRI
day for the equalization of bounties
will take from the Treasury quite two
million of dollars. This is not, how
ever, quite such depletion as is pro-
posed by one or two other measures
of similar character, and which, if
passed by the House, will call for from
seventy-five to one hundred million
dollars. This is in itself four or five
times the amount of the balance of re-
ceipts over expenditures, according to
the estimates for the next fiscal year.
The protest of Mr.. Dawes, therefore,
against this extravaganza in appropri-
ations is not untimely; for, as he de-
clared, if it is to continue all efforts
to reduce taxation might as we'll be
abandoned now as at the end of the
session. The proposed subsidies for
steamships alone will amount to mill
ions, while five millions already have
been appropriated for new public
buildings.
