Custom house Frauds.

The Hancock Courier SayS:-
The corruption, frauds, stealing,
Matchmaking, and bribery dis
closed, are acknowledgement should
be enough to damn and hurl from
power any party under whose!ad
ministration they are permitted
to exist. That they are permit
ted, if not encouraged by Gen.
Grant and his Secretary of the
Treasury, is next to a moral GER
tainty. The testimony Of A. I.
Stewart and others before the
committee, show that complai IT
of these corrupt practices had
been made to Grant and Bout
well, but no attention was paid
to their demand for a change;
presumably because the pets of
the President were reaping a big
return from the same. For some
or the proceeds OF the blackmaIi-
ing operation have been traced
to the Presidents household. Yet
with a knowledge Of these non
strous frauds committed under
the eyes and nose of his friend
and appoirtee, Murphy, Gen.
Grant, af err being obliged to re-
tire him, writes a letter a~pplaud-
ing the honesty and integrity
with which his public trusts had
been disregarded. Such is the
honesty of the President whom
the Radical leaders are anxious to
re-elect, as under his administra-
ton they find the richest pick
ings.

The Louisiana outrage.

We clip the following from the
New York Tribune in relation to
the scandalous and disgraceful
efforts of Grants brother~in-law,
Casey, to obtain control of the
State Government of Louisiana.
The article needs no explanations;
it speaks for itself:
The Administration party have
no excuse whatever for their high
handed and revolutionary course;
they charged conspiracy on Wars
moth and his friends, and procur>
ed their arrest for proposing to do
exactly what they did themselves
-conspire to gain possession Of
the Legislature. Here is a COL
lector, United States Marshal,
and other officers of the National
Governments combining and form
ing a party to seize the State
Government, depose the Govern
or, and ''run the machine" for
their own unhallowed purposes.
There is no attempt to conceal
this purpose, no disguise of the
motive for all this hubGub.
It is for such efforts to expose
the frauds and corruptions of the
Republican party that Horace
Greeley has been blackguarded
by Administration journals and
caricatured by the artists of Har-
pcr's Weekly. There is very little
inducement for a man to be hon
eat in the Republican party. All
his reward is abuse.

Troy o., January 9th, 1872.
At a business meeting conveu-
ed at W. Il. II. Dyes Banking
House, to consider the interests
of this magnificent enterprise
The line in Ohio was represented
as follows:
From Eaton, A. Haines, Sen'r;
Milton, E. kellogg; Troy, w. IL. IL.
Dye, Ii. ". Allen, j. T. Jauon,
Samuel Davis, l.. II. Thompson,

from Bel!efontaine, Isaac n. Me
Beth and Samuel G.. Burnside;
and thereupon Henry-W. Allen,
Of Troy, was called 10 the chair,
and A. Haines, Sen'r, of Eaton,
was appointed Secretary.
After a full and candid inter-
change of sentiments, and look
ing over the amount of subscrip-
tons nov raised, it was lar
mously resolved, as the sense and
determination of this meeting,
that we can and will raise the
amount of subscriptions required,
by the first day of February next.
B efore the passage of the fore
going resolution, extended bust
explanations we're made and
considered, respecting the con-
struction of the road, the amount
of subscriptions now raised, the
amount yet to be raised to secure
the construction of the road, and
the telegraphic dispatches from
Col. r. Pattison, now in New
York arranging financial mea-
sures for an early construction of
the road, provided the required
amount of subscriptions was rais>
ed-these and many other SINH
lar topics were canvassed, and
the meeting felt assured that the
money for building the road was
provided, and only awaited the
closing out the subscriptions, in
Ohio, before going to work on
the whole line.

President Grant, on Friday last
made good his defalcation of
$4,000 during the Mexican war.
He sent his check to the proper
accounting officer, without inter
est. AT legal interest it would
amount to over twelve thousand
dollars. But, better late than
never, and better the $1,000 than
none at all. Few Republicans
we're aware in 1868 that they
were electing a defaulter Presi-
dent of the United States.

Confusion and Ruin.

~SHh1CSbOE OEAN a1Nttia
The Grant administration must
be in the greatest confusiou.-
Crime, corrupt on and dlshones-
ty amongst their trusted servants
are constantly bursting upon it.
In every branch of the service
there is great disorder. Grant
and his friends have become so
terrified that tn ey tread like
travellers upon the crater Of a
volcanoe. They know not what
a day may bring forth.
The results of the investigation
into the General order business
in tie city of New York increase
the alarm and CONSERVATION OF
the Observation-Disclosures Grant
and his followers cannot but per-
ceive that the people will charge
him with absolute unfaithfulness.
The Judgment of all unbiased
men must inevitably be against
tho administration. These out
RACES, by which a few individuals
controlled so large a business, are
directly traceable to Gen. Grants
nearest friends, those of his own
household. How can such a
leader be sustained? Is it not a
mockery of virtue and wisdom to
suppose that the people will again
give him their support?
Grant, of course, was fully a.
ware of great neglect, inattention
and wilful unconcern. Has he
not sense enough to know that
be cannot discard and ignore all
public concern for months with
out the greatest prostitution of
the interests of the people follow
ing? Does he not know that
when these interests are entrusted
to irresponsible persons, whose
only aim is to accumulate wealth,
that corruption and fraud will al
most universally eusue? Yes,
Gen. Grant was fully apprised OF
these things. And because he
has allowed so much corruption
and rascality to spring up and
fasten themselves on the body
polite, we charge him with total
unttness and incapacity.
For the people, after the hor-
rible and most frightful revela-
tons of the last six months, to
support Gen. Grant again, would
be giving support and encourage
ment to the lowest and meanest
vices, to outrageous crimes, to
hideous peculiarities, and to I'M
exampled public plumber. Con-
fusion and ruin await the Grant
administration. The people of
this country cannot possibly give
anything like a respectable sup
port to the greatest public plum
derers, to the greatest political
vagabonds, to the greatest politi
cal corruptionists the civilized
world has ever seen.

The deficiency bill of $4,000.
lately introduced in the House to
remedy the costs of the HI Klux
Investigation in South Carolina
and elsewhere, is entirely too
modest. Such a bill, to be hon
est and effective, ought to provide
for the lost cotton crop in nine
counties in South Carolina; for
damages for false imprisonments
of hundreds Of innocent and I'M
offending citizens, and for com
p%ensation for the grief, terror,
and disorganization occasioned to
at least ONE poor county which
was ~confessedly by mistake, en-
braeed in the Presidents procla-
nation of outlawry.

AS the above communication,
from Col. WILLIAMS, admits all
that we charged, of course we
have nothing more to say on the
subject. If it was proper for the
brother of the Collector to offer
the whisky at the price he did,
we cheerfuily admit that we were
misled by the statements of par
ties, upon whom we placed cons
siderable reliance, and whetherit
was done for the purpose of in
juring Gel. Williams, as he thinks,
we know not. We do know,
however, that there are several
parties in Camden, and Republi
cans too, that have written to Us
since our article appeared, en-
dorsing all of it, as correct. The
suggestion of the Colonel to con-
suit him at his Office in Dayton,
on Revenue 'rottenness" would
not suit us. We don't "sweat"
very much writing leaders with
the Thermometer at zero
ard as the "infernal" Revenue
keeps "heecing" us of all our
loose STAMPS" we don't see how,
like any other Fhonest" man, we
could get to his ofice.-[ED. Dem.

War.
An American vessel has bee

An American vessel has been
insulted by a little Spanish cruis.
er. We will put the situation of
affairs in a few words. A Span
ish cruiser fred across the bows
of an American vessel, the Flori>
da, brought her to, and searched
her, which act is considered a
fragrant insult to the American
flag. Our Government will i'm
mediately demand of Spain an
ample apology for this insult
If refuses, the United States will
declare war. The question of
peace or a war, then, depends on
whether Spain says she is sorry.
The likelihood OF her apologizing
may be gathered from these facts.
Her new cabinet is openly hos
tile to this country, and has re-
called Mr. Roberts, Spanish Min
lister at Washington, a conspici-
ously friendly gentleman; and ap-
pointed to succeed hin, Admiral
Polo, a man whose sentiments
are just the opposite. The situa-
ton is rather squally.
What George II. Pend1eton
thinks the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention will do. when
its authorized convention shall
speak, il will remind its adher-
ents that the ultimate and high
est purpose of its existence is to
secure the greatest prosperity, In
its best sense, of every human be-
ing in the land; that principles of
government are true or untrue, as
they contribute to this result;
that parties and politics and Off
GERS are but means to this end;
hat principles are of different
application, and questions lose
Importance in the ever shifting
changes of human affairs; and dis
carding all narrow ideas, aban-
doning all questions which have
been decided or buried by the
events which have passed; recog-
nizing the accomplished facts of
the present, and approaching the
dangers of the future, it will in
vite, both by words and deeds,
both by resolutions and by nomi-
nations, the jealous, hearty coop
Grafton of all men who believe
that the Constitution is a better
system of government than mar
tial law, and that reform lin the
civil service is a higher duty than
r~ewarding prospective partisan
effort by distributing spoils."
