How it is done and who pays for :,

The national radical campaign committee
now occupy sixteen rooms in the capitol
building at Washington. An examination
of the receipt book kept in the senate wing
OF these rooms, shows that the postage on
the campaign documents, which have been
ranked all over the country, would have
put into the treasury the sum of S27.o5..lO.
The government envelopes used thus far cost
$l,363. The documents sent from the house
':,ng are fully double those We have named
On low estimate at least twenty large bags
of mail matter are ranked and forwarded
every day from the committee rooms. Eight
to ten female clerks, at salary of SO per
month each, are employed in preparing this
matter for the mail, and several clerks of the
masculine persuasion at a salary of 81 500
per annum each, are engaged in the same
business. All these salaries are paid, of
course, by the government, which, besides
being plundered in this way, loses on an
average $4,000 day in postage.

Maine and Vermont Elections

The attempt Of the radicals TO get up
jubilation over the recent Name and Vermont
elections, is very much like an attempt to re-
joice at a funeral. The truth Is, the liberals
hayl done all in Maine they expected to- They
have taken from the republicans full twelve
per cent. OF their vote, percentage which, if
kept up IN New Hampshire, Vermont, New
York, Pennsylvania, &C., will give us all those
states by large majorities.
TO show exactly what the democrats and
liberals have accomplished a, the election in
Maine, a few figures are necessary.
In 1866, on vote of 10000 the republi
caNs had 21,GO0 majority. In 1868. on vote
OF $4,000, the radical majority was 20,l0O
In 1869, on vote of $4,000, the radicals had
lG,4oO majority; and in 1871, on vote OF
100000, the radical majority was 10000; bu,
since 1888, at each election the radical vot,
was somewhat diminished by third candi

two parties any radical majority OF less thar

the lowest calculation. If such a showing. IN :
state Ike Maine, where Greeleyism had "uo
made tltiie,' as the radical papers boasted
is satisfactory to them, 1t Is certainly TO th,
liberals.
In Vermont the same radical loss is appar

a Scandalous Business.

| The country has been advised by .elegr ph
ofthe brutal assault, made by General "Dcnt,
who, though drawing the pay of a brigadier
general in the army, is acting as sort of por-
ter at the White House, upon Henry Reed,
editor of the Capitol newspaper at Washing
ton, and that said Dent, for The outrage, was
taken before police court and fined 500.
But the causes which lead 20 the assault have
not been so fully stated, tor the reason, prob
ably, that the associated press" reporters are
too tender-footed to spread before the country
so scandaloHs "a matter against the GIANT adj
minisration as such an explanation would in
volye. Mr.. Reed, however, has no such del
icacy, and in card since published, makes
this bold statement:
That the assault upon him by Gen. Den,
was provoked by an article in the Copitol,
charging that said Gen. Dent had procur-
ed of President Grant the appointment of
VIM J. Farrand, of New York, as Consul at
Callao, in consideration that said Farrand had
paid to Dent $4,000. Also that said Farrand
had negotiated through the same Gen. Dent,
the appointment for $4,000 cash OF Mr..
Whitney as commissioner to settle the claims
of citizens of the L. S. against Peru. And
further, that Gen. Dent made this office
brokerage business, levyng thousands of dol
lars on applications for all kinds of govern
ment positions. Mr.. Reed further states in his
card, that before the article was published nc
sent Il copy of it to Mr.. Dent and requested
him to disprove Or deny any of the statements
II they were not true, but that he received no
response, because the proof was at hand.
This reveals a beautiful condition of affairs
1t has been known for year or two that Jes
Sc Grant, the father of the President, had dab
bled little in the office brokerage business
at Cincinnati, and that Olyille Grant. the
Presidents brother had been connected witt
some disgraCeiul transactions of the SOL, at
Chicago; but that the very portals of the
White House had to be reached through tie
den of an office broker was a scandal for which
the country had hitherto been hardly pre-
pared The business is certainly q burning
disgrace, and Of itself ought 70 be enough 70
sink the administration which 10. only toIe-
rates it, but apparently enconrc-cs it and
shares the profits, out OF sight.

The Jones BrIbe.

The charge that J. Russell Jones, of Chi.
cago, had secured his appointment as Consul
to Belgium of President Grant by conveying
to the President, for one dollar, valuable
tract of land near Chicago, was made three
years ago, and proved by the record so com
pletely that no serious attempt was made to
answer it. The New York Tines, however.
having recently alluded to the scandal as
one OF the ISLANDERS promulgated by the Lab
eral press against Grant, the Chicago Tri,,ne
restates the case and the proofs in detail,
which are, in substance as follows:
One j. Russell Jones, of Chicago, wanted
foreign appointment, and did not know any
better way to get it than through Grants GU.
pidity or love of gain. At this time Swed-
ish colony owned considerable land in Illinois
some OF which lay il the confines of Chicago,
and rapidly growing in value. The trustee
OF this colony was induced to sell about
eighty acres Of the land to Jones for IA low
price, and they say without authority, and
Jones conveyed it to Grant for the sum OF one
doltar, the deed being put on record at Chi.
cago by which the transaction appears
About this time Grant appointed Jones min.
lister to Belgium, where he now is to the dis
grace OF the country. The President has no,
denied the &" soft impeachment" and still
holds the land.
If this is not a case of bribery, will some
body tell Us what to call itI
