Indictment of the Administration
from the Chicago JouRNAI.l

The Chicago Tribune has framed
fearful indictment against the Admin
istration of General Grant. The
counts are as follows:
|. Disregard of the just claims of
Republican leaders of wisdom and
judgment to be consulted as such in
the selection of his Cabinet and of the
chief diplomatic and civil appoint
ments.
III. The San Domingo blunder.
III. About thirty-three out of the
fifty thousand appointments made by
President Grant and his subordnates
were given to family friends and rel
atives.
~. The creation of Military
Ring, or Kitchen Cabinet, under the
caves of the White House.
V. The use of the appointing and
removing power to coerce Congress
and the people.
And upon these terrific charges the
President is arraigned and sought to
be condemned Malice has exhaust
ed itself, and Hate been bankrupt in
pursuit of the President. Personal
vindictiveness has followed him to
the extreme, and this indictment EN-
braces all that his enemies can charge
against him.
This embodies the "case" of the
prosecution against the Administra-
ton. Let us see what can be said in
its defense:
BY the wisdom of it's rule, the laws
of the country have been faithfully
executed, public faith has been pre-
served, and the national credit firmly
established.
Governmental economy has been
illustrated by the reduction. at the
same time of the public debt and of
taxation, and the funding of the ma
tional debt at a lower rate of in
terest has been successfully inaugu>
rated.
The rights of naturalized citizens
have been protected by treaties, and
immigration encouraged by liberal
provisions.
The defenders of the Union have
been gratfully remembered, and the
rights and interests Of labor recogniz-
ed.
Laws have been enacted and are
being enforced for the protection of
persons and property in all sections,
Equal suffrage has been engrafted
on the national Constitution the
privileges and immunities of Ameri-
can citizenship have become o part
of the organic law, and liberal poll
cy has been adopted toward all who
engaged in the rebellion.
Complications in foreign relations
have been adjusted in the interests
of peace throughout the world, while
the national honor has been maintain.
ed.
Corruption has been exposed. Of
Tenders punished, and responsibility
enforced.
The Indian policy of the admins
tration has restored peace to our bor-
ders.
| Under its financial policy the gov
eminent bonds have risen FROM 81
per 500 to 101, whilst the price OF
gold has been reduced from 100 to
10.
Noprevious administration fulfilled
its pledge more faithfully, or ever ac'
complished so much for the prosperi
ty and happiness of the people.
What more could have been done
the re7ilers of the President do moi
attempt to delude their followers by
even claiming.

self. In order to take him in COM
pletely, We must have a wide and
open space. And yet how shall we
comprehend him? how lay bare his
inner constitution Lofty words,
eulogies, are all in vain by his side
he needs no praise, but comprehen-

comprehended by the aid Of science.
As the complicated revolutions of the
heavenly bodies become ineligible

OF vegetation and life need for their
comprehension the intervention of

interpreted only by the most ad-
vaneed psychological systems and
we need the Hottest of ell these to at

level of bis age and his work, and of
his genius and of bis art.
How did Shakespeare succeed?

his whole genius is in that single

When we think thing, we, or
binary men, We think only q part of
it; we see one side, some isolated
mark, sometimes two or three marks
together; for what is beyond, our
sight fails us the infinite network
of its infinitely complicated and null
tiplied properties escapes US; we feel
vaguely that there is something be-
yond our shallow ken; and this
vague suspicion is the only part of
our idea which at all reveals 10 us the
great beyond.
An imagination, conception like
Shakespeare's, is the only one caps.

No Love for the Germans.


The Democratic press of the coun-
try are laboring.hard to convince the
Germans that the republicans rs a
party are unfriendly to their inter>
ests. During the Franco-Gorman
war in 1870 the Republican press of
the county were unit in favor of
the German cause while the sympa-
thy OF the democrats was generally
with the French. The Chicago
Times during that struggle gave vent
TO its hatred of the Germans in the
following words:
THE DUTCH OF THIS COUN-
TRY HAVE PROVED A MOST

IHE 1OLNNESIAN-O CTRAGES.
The horrible craeltieS that have
been praciiced upon the Poly.
nesians for the past two or. three
years by slave dealers have result
ed at last in a massacre of the
residents Of Tanna, a settlements
in one of the group of islands. A
traveller, who has recently return
ed from the westward, declares
that the slave kidnappers of the
Pacific are, if possible, more bru-
tai than were their fellows of the
African coast. According to the
statement of tiiis gentleman, from
fifteen tatweuty vessels have been
constantly employed for more
than two Years in carrying off
Poiynesians to cultivate cotton in
Fiji, Queensland and Tablet. The
kidnappers start from their ships
at midnight, and land in squads
OftWentyor thirty each. They are
armed TO the teeth, and make their
excursions with great caution IN
til they approach near enough TO
the hutS OF their victims. Brands
are then applied to the light. in
flaminable roofs, and in the con-
fusion that follows the poor
scared creatures are borne down
uPon ami handcuffed. When
they offer much resistance the
brutes knock ont their brains
with gunstOckS, and drive their
woman screaming to the boats.
Up to within few years from the
period OF the discovery of tho Pol
ynesian islands, Europeans have
been treated with great kindness
by the natives, who have, time
and again, exhausted their store
of curiosities in maaing presents,
and trading with :hem on board
ships touching at different points
south OF the Equator. Latterly
they have not only discontinued
these friendly advances, but have
become aggressive, as all Sava
geS will when they are hunted
like wild beasts. We know who
often our OWE settlers have tc
suffer for outrageS committed
upon the Indians 10y white border
murderers. But the outrages
upon The poor Polyncsians are o.
a totally different nature, and il
is the duty of all civilized nations
10 assist in putting an immediat,
stop to them.

4 HERO WORTHY Of A POETS


ATTENTIoN.-Jim BEudsoe had a
worthy disciple in the engineer of
the burned City OF New London.
Though he didn't hold her nozzle
aoin, the bank because he could
not get it therel he did stick to
his post until every hair OH his
face and head was sill ged with the
flames. Then he buckled a life
preserver round him and went on
deck to help the passengers.
They say his voice was CHEEKY and
his face as bright as ever, through
all the heat and glare Of the burn
ing boat, and many IL nan and
woman owed their lie that night
TO Matt Bakers vigorous arm.
The forward deck was the last to
60, and high up near thu bows
Matt found a helpless woman
without support Of friend or plank.
His face grew a little grave as he
fastened his life preservcr around
her waist.and lowered her into.the
water, but cleared again as bright
as ever when he turned to bid his
captain goodbye. They were the
last souls to leave the boat, and
jumped together from the gang,
way. The captain, unharmed and
and fresh, reached the shore in
safety: but Matt Baker, burned
and bruised, one eye blinded and
one arm raw from shclder to wrist.
with his quiet smile and bis brave
heart, went knowingly to his death
counting the life OF a homeless
woman better than his own.
