franked and directed nine-tenths oil all
the circulars sent out to drum up
volunteers for this Convention. They induced
an Assistant Postmaster-General to urge his
subordinate postmasters to find Democrats Ill
their respective localities who would receive
and act upon these circulars. They furnished
the money on which several score OF dead
beats have been sent to Louisville In their
interest. They have put up this job for their
own profit. hoping thereby to divert votes
enough from the Liberal candidates to let
Grant slip in by plurality. The President
who had three-fOurths of the Electors in 1868
is now reduced to this desperate extremity.
The Two-term managers thus betray their
consciousness that the people are against them.
All the Liberals ask is square issue and an
unconstrained vote honestly counted. But
those who believe that "one good term de-
serves another (whence it follows that two
good terms deserve two more, and so on In
definitely practically confess that they must
divide their opponents or be beaten. AS be-
tween Grant and Greeley they see that the
people have already decided against Grant ;
but if they can induce quarter OF million
or so who prefer Greeley to throw away their
votes, they may still hope. Hence their Louis
Vile Convention, of which they defray the
cost and must bear the responsibility.

WHO is SENATOR WILSON'S FORGER'


Several days ago letter was printed in
newspapers friendly to Senator Wilson, ad-
dressed to certain Germans in Brooklyn, deny
ing that Mr.. Wilson had ever been Know
Nothing. This charge had before met with an
ambiguous and evasive answer from Mr.. VIII
son. and had been conclusively proved. When
this fat contradiction appeared, in his interest
and in an apparently authentic form, we gave
Senator Wilson the benefit of it, but took oc-
casion at the same time to show its falsity
But the Senator, on reading the letter in Au-
eusta. Maine, denounced it as a forgery, and
we hasten to give publicity to this statement
also. .--
There remains a mystery about the matter
which ought to be cleared up. Mr.. Freyert,
with whom the correspondence was held, has
placed the letters in our hands for his own
justification. The facts are these: On the 2d
of ,July. Mr.. Frevert and eleven other Germans
of BROOKLYN wrote to Mr.. Wilson, announcing
themselves as favorable to Grant, but desiring
| 70 be informed whether Mr.. Wilson was ever
| a Know Nothing, as reported in some papers
and denied in others. On the 9th of August
Mr.. Frevert received in reply the letter which
| Mr.. Wilson now denouDces as forgery. 1t is
dated in Natick, August 26, postmarked
Boston, and bears the frank of Senator
| Wilson. 1t is written in German, and signed
Henry Wilson per H. A." 1t is impossible to
state whether the frank is forgery or not
If it is, it is sufficiently successful to pass the
scrutiny of the Boston and Brooklyn Post
Offices.
Senator Wilson will do well not to content
himself with simple reputation of this let
ter The facts are important to him, and
should be promptly stated. The so-calle'
forgery is a categorical reply to the letter ad
dressed to him by Frevert and others. 1t pur
ports to have been written, not by his hand
but by that of an amanuensis or secretary. L
comes unstamped from Boston, bearing hi
| frank. 1t is written to his political friends
and published in his interest. If 1t is a forgery
it is a forgery for his benefit alone, founded OF
information which could only have come from
him or his friendly correspondent. A crim
has been committed TO assist in Mr.. Wilson,
election, and it beh0oves him more than am

Mr.. Lyman Tremain declares that in his
opinion the present contest is the same one
which has been raging since the beginning of
the Rebellion, between loyalty and treason.
He must be a little puzzled to decide on which
side he is running, as his chief on the ticket
was a member Of Buchanan's Cabinet and
Johnson's party, and he was himself very
pretty specimen of a spouting Rebel.
New-York tribune., 1872-09-02

As the Vermont and Maine elections ap-
proach, people are hunting up their last years
Almanacs, and wondering how much the Lib
eral movement will change last years Repub-
lican majOrities. But that is MT what they want
to know. The latest elections were cOmpara-
lively unimportant, and, in both these sturdy old
Commonwealth, overwhelmingly Republican
as they have always been, the majorities were
very low. The year of Presidential election,
on the contrary, always calls out full vote,
and shows the Republican party at its best.
What changes is the Liberal movement going
to make on the Republican majOrities of 1868,
when Grant was a candidate before-that is
the question. In 1870 (the last State
election there), the Vermont majority
was only 21,9O9; but in 1868 it was 1884 on the
State vote, while, two months later it swelled
the majority for Grant to 32,122. How near
will 1t come to doing as much for him this
time7 In 1871, the Republican majority
in Maine was only 1861 but in the last
Presidential year it was in the State election
2O,4O3 while for Grant himself it was 2S,O3O.
What will it do for him, this timeH

Mr.. John w. Frazier Of Philadelphia makes
some new charges against John f. Hartranft
Cameron-Grant candidate for Governor Of
PENNSYLVANIA. For the last six years Hartranft
has been AuditOr-Gener of the State, and as
such it was his duty to collect and account for
various taxes levied on corporations One of
these is tax per tun on the freight trans
ported by the several railroads. 1t appears
that in the year 1866 S15,695 was paid by the
Delaware and Hudson Company as their share
of this tax; in 1866 (the first Of Hartranft
5000 was paid; in 1857, S722; in 1868, $95; in
1869, nothing in 1870, 5000. More may have
been paid by the Company, but the above
sums are those set down in Hartranfts official
reports. We have heard that the Company
now pay a special tax on the coal mined by
themselves, and that such coal, which is the
bulk of their tunnage, is not subject to the
tunnage tax. If our impression in this respect
is correct we are still unable to account for
the payment of $G94O in 1866, of nothing in
1869, and of $500 in 1870. The accounts with
a number of other railroads are in similar
confusion.

Governor was not. Some of these points are
touched on in careful article in The Hna"-

whether Henry Clews is more knave than fooi.
He claims to be simply the latter. But ne

Liberals of Vermont! bear in mind that
though minority in your own State, you are
in full accord with majority in the Union,
and that every vote you cast tomorrow,
though it should not elect single candidate,
will tell powerfully on the canvass in other
States. Twenty thousand votes for your State
ticket is your quota of Five Millions of votes
in the whole country, and that would insure
the choice of two-thirds of the Electors by the
friends of Greeley and Brown. Bring out

We have a piece of gratuitOus but valuable
advice for our Grant friends. When gentle
man of mature years and eminent position
leaves his post in Europe and comes home i'll
the midst of an exciting canvass in his own
State without informing anybody of his inten-
tions, it is fair to presume that he means to
keep them to himself until he is ready to de-
clare them. An ounce of tact would convince
the impatient souls to whom this word is ad-
dressed that sending a General to Europe to
worry him, dispatching the most genial pub
Usher now living TO New-York HarbOr to buzz
him. haunting his sick room with committee
men, delicately insinuating that purse is
preparing for him, are not measures well cal
culated to capture so independent and spirited

He is slowly recovering from his illness
When he is ready he viii doubtless inform
his fellow-citizens of his views and intentions
in the present posture of affairs. Until that
time, no one has right to speak for him,

If the horrible story which reaches us from
Colorado turns out to be true, it will furnish
another terrible proof of the utter failure OF
the Indian policy of the Administration. The
chief Little Raven, who is said to have COM
mapded the attack upon the wagon train of
Fort Lyon and to have shared in the murder
of the drivers, is one of the savages who were
so lately petted and filed with mixed meta
phors by their "Great Father" at Washing
tom Amid all the horror of the story there is
one incident which casts grotesque light
over the whole; the Government escort was
nine miles behind the wagons and came up
in time to see the victorious savages disap'
pear over a hilltop with shouts of triumph
and derisiOn.

Hon. THos j. SIMMONS, Chairman Bond Committee,
Atlanta Georgia.
DEAR SIR: In 10 your inquiries In regard first,
TO Messrs Cews Co. being advised by me as to nor-
maty oyer-ssue and egality OF the bonds Issued by
Gov Bullock, have to say, that in the month OF
November 1870 gave my son. Alton Angler letter OF
introduction to Messrs Cews Co. OF New York with
instructions to him. presenting said letter. TO notify
Messrs Clews & Co. explicitly in regard to these facts
As my son was perfectly familiar with all these facts
smpy notified him. verbally that he present these facts
forcbly and explicitly to Messrs Clews Co.. and from
letter OF Messrs Cews Co. to "Hon. John Harris,
c,o, Senator Atlanta Georgia." dated HOvember %.
,7o should Judge that my had faithfully performed
this duty In this letter referred to, Messrs Cews Co.
say. "Mr Alton Angler Of Atlanta presented us letter
from Hon n L. Angler your State treasurer aud upon
the strength of that letter Of introduction MI Alton
Angler has made verbal statements In relation TO the
bonds Of your State, and the manner OF their Issue,
which II credited would very seriously njure the stand
inc and value Of the States bonds in this market and In
London"
Mr.. Clews thinks the business interests of
the Country could MT stand Mr.. Greeley's cleo
ton. Mr.. Clews is partly right. The business
interests of his house might suffer from the
hostility of the new Administration to such
swindling and such swlndlers.
We have made 10 attempt to show in this,
or in previous articles, the general rascality
of this Brunswick and Albany Railroad busi-
ness how the road was so wretchedly built
as not TO be fit for use; how Henry Clews
WAS TO have one-fourth of what the con-
tractors made; how the duty of certifying
and indorsing the bonds, which, by the act
of 1860, was vested in the Treasurer Mr..
Angler was taken from that officer by the
act of 1870, and transferred to Bullock, simply
because the Treasurer was honest and the
