in this county would have been larger
by forty or fifty, but for the ignorance
of certain Democratic voters, who, in
tending to repudiate Greeley, scratched
his and Browns name, from their ticket.

Death sweeps the fools away.

They only count tho Wrctched cost,

Grant q DefaultCr.

The President Of the United States has
quite recently taken active interest in
the question of civil service reform. By
singular coincidence certain right
minded senators have quite recently inau.
rated q movement for an investigation of
the manner in which the civil service of
the government has been, and is being
conducted These senators have been
able to carry their project as far as the
raising Of q committee of inquiry. despite
the persistent and some what offensive
opposition Of the republican party claim.
ing 70 reflect the real sentiments of Gen.
Grant. Now, iuasmuch as this committee
has been raised, aud tho President, by a
recent proclamation, has placed himself
on record in favor Of q reform in the
administration Of the public affairs, it is
presumed that he is in favor of making
the investigation thorough and searching.
In order that the committee have no
obstacles in the way Of their enquiries,
their attention is heraby called to the
following case to show how appropriately
the President of the United States may
come forward and pronounce in favor Of
an honest administration.
When President Grant was Lieutenant
Grant. of the United States army, he
served as commissary and quartermaster
in the Mexican war. He was at that time
attached to the infantry branch of the
service. During that time he was the
recipient Of funds from other quarter
masters. for which he gave vouchers.
From the close Of that war for years his
account with the government was not set
tied. 1t not yet settled. Tho account
ing officer Of the treasury caused innu.
merable dunning letters to be addressed
to him, Of which he never took the
slightest notice. Year after year passed
by and that account was not settled, and
year after year the auditor caused notices
to be served on the late quartcrmaster to
come up and account for that balance
against him ON the treasury books.
Year after year that account was regu-
larly brought forward from the old ledger
to the new, and NO credits made to close
it. Finally q third auditor gave the late
quartermaster up as bad bargain and
lot him alone, But the recent war
brought that officer forward again In q
new capacity before the public, and with
that event, the attention Of the auditor
was again called to that unsettled account.
In 1862, just aftes the battle of Shiloh,
congress passed on act giving General
Grant the sum Of 81 900 in compensation

ANEcDoTE OF DANIEL WEBSTER

ANECDoTE OF DANIEL WEBSTER -
From "Reminiscences of Mr.. Webster" 4"
published in the Washington Sunday
Herald, we copy the following: Mr.,
Webster held Office holders 10 great ab
horrence. When he was secretary of
state, in 1851, Misslssipian came on to
Washington 10 the hope OF securing o
foreign consulate. He made application
and was informed there was no vacancy.
Nothing discouraged, he presented him,
self at the state department, daily, and
spent an hour or two in the psrusal of
the newspapers in the ante chamber, but
never annoyed Mr.. Webster or any Of
his subordinates by renewing bis appli
cation. Several weeks elapsed, and our
Mi'sissippiau, like Mordecai IN the King 9
gate, was always "to the FORE" One
day Mr.. Webster came to the department Mt
in rathor q bad humor. The sight Of
the Mississippian as he passed through
the ante.chambsr, appeared to exsspsrate
him. AZ he entered the chief clerk .
room he cried out, "Mr. Hunter, Ia there
any place this side Of hell We can send
this man TOP He'll be the death of me. "
Mr.. Hunter very quickly found small
place worth about $500 year, for the
persistent Mordecai, and tha great ex-
FOUNDER brsathed more freely.
