General schouler for Greeley,

General Sch0uler for Greeley
General Schonler, of Boston, one OF
the best known and most influential
Republicans in Massachusetts, and
who was a number of years editor OF
the Cincinnati Gazette and Columbus
Journal, of this State, has published
letter giving his reasons for aban-
doning Grant for Greeley. He re-
views the situation at length, claims
that the late Governor Andrews SEN
timents were the. same as those Of the
Liberal Republican party to-day, and
concludes as follows:
have written the foregoing with
no partisan feeling, with malice to-
ward none, with sense of the right
Gas God gives me to see the right. nand
in q firm and honest conviction that
the election of Mr.. Greeley, whom
have personally known and respected
for more than thirty years, would be
best for the whole country. By SO
voting I believe 1 shall be carrying
ing, out the wise and statesmanlike
views of Governor Andrew, enuncia-
ted in the last official utterance of his
life, and who, though dead, yet speak
eth; that shall be acting in accor-
dance with the spirit that actuated the
10000 Massachusetts, men who upon
the land and upon the sea fought for
their country in the long sad years OF
war, and upheld with honor and res
nown the flag which signalized the
cause and the patriotic fame of the
commonwealth. Respectfully yours,

1t is little odd that every effort to
convict northern Democrats through
rebel archives, of reasonable practices
have resulted in proving them advo-
Gates of peace, which in the eyes of
RADICALS is the most henious foffepse
they could be guilty of. The N. Y.
Herald speaking of these rebel docu-
inents very justly remarks is sarat v'fa
These papers, if honestly purchased
for the government, cannot properly
be in the custody Of the Republican
Central Committee. If they were
bought for the use ofthei partyilet its
Committee honestly pay the nation for
them. The people via mot; sanction

ton and the Republican Central Ex-

ment to pay Pickett for partisan
documents, it would be just as proper
to pay the party printing bills from
the federal Treasury. President Grant
should know that his Washington
subordinates are seriously ihjuring
bis cause with the people by their
political lottings.l fIeTis the iconsti-
tutionally elected chief of the nation,
and he should at once send to the rear
under arrest those of his subalterns
who degrade the action of his admin
istration to execute the ibehests of a
party cabal. This Confederate archives
Job is q gross outrage upon the people
burning disgrace to the administra-
ton which permits It. These papers
have been In the market for years
General Rawlins would not buy them
without examination. n Mr.. Seward
would not have them at all. ~ Their
authenticity is seriously denied. In
spite of all this Mr., Boutwell, pays
Pickett seyeiny nylfve thousand dollars
for storing them, and after their pur-
chase they seem to bs only used for
party purposes, and valueless at that.
Common honesty, demands that the
party pay for those trunks
of rubbish, and the good name of
President Grant demands that the fed
eral government and that party should
have separate organizations, and each !
carry on its own business.

The Gross Election Frauds in
North Carolina.

One of the greatest negro-Grant
strongholds in North Carolina is the
county of Halifax. By the census of
1870 it had a population of 20,40S.
This year, on Governor, it polled I, 1907
votes. THIS is at the rate Of one cote
to less than four Inhabitants. Does
any man believe that to be honest !?
The census showed that It had but
4,455 male persons over twenty-one
years of age. There can not be q
doubt that q wholesale and shameful
fraud was perpetrated in this county
to the extentof nearly l,000votes. In
this county the registry book Is said
to be lost. There are other districts
which polled greater vote than was
registered, and some of them are said
to have counted more votes than were
actually cast. In Lenoir county the
voting strength was put down at 2,0Sl
The number of votes cast was 2,264.
In Northampton County the voting
strength is put down at 2.90l- The
number of votes actually cast is 3,OS5-
In Robson county the voting strength
is put down at 3043. The number of
votes actually cast is 3,214- In Samp-
SON County the voting strength is put
down at 2,986. The vote actually cast
is 3.l31. In Bladen County the voting
strength is put down at 2,6l0. The
number of votes actually cast is 1856.
In Cumberland County the voting
strength is put down at 3,452. The
number of votes actually cast is 3773.
In Duplin County the voting popula-
tion is put down at 1853. The, NUM-
Der of votes actually cast is 3.4S5. In
Franklin County the voting strength
is put down at 2,770. The number of
votes actually cast is 3,035. In one
precinct of Brunswick County eighty
votes more were cast than were reg
istered- In some places-for instance
Hornet Township, in Hanover County
-one or two companies of negroes
marched to to polls with arms in their
hands. In defiance of the law, in
Wilmington, ,men were registered after
Sunday and on the day of election
These are specimens of the frauds that
were perpetrated throughout theState.
There is no doubt that Merrimon and
the whole Democratic State ticket
were elected, and that, upon a contest
before the Legislature, such viii be
declared the result. The frauds con-
sisted of the registry of illegal votes,
and i'll false counting after they were
in the box. For this purpose the re-
turns favorable to the Grant ticket
were so strangely held back.-Enq.

North Carolina Election.

The Radical Secretary of State
Thinks MerrimOn Elected
The RAIDS Shouting too Early.
If the following despatehis reliable
the RAIDS were in too much of a hurry
in shouting over the North Carolina
Election With the entire machinery
of the election in their own hands the
talk about Democratic frauds being
discovered, is pretty thin nonsense,
and it is a mere pretext got up to
break the force oftheir fall: sVals 81
aNEw York, August L. Late adj
vices from North Carolina leave little
doubt that CaldwelPs election will be
contested before the Legislature. The
Democrats claim that sufficient frauds
have been proved to secure the election
of Merrimon, and other hand the Re-
publicans allege that the Conservative
frauds are sufficient, if not to save
CALDWELL at least to secure an addi-
tional member of Congress, which
they claim is of more Importance than
the Governor. Mr.. Mennigef, Secre-
tary of State, says that the official vote
will not be all in until Wednesday,
and he inclines to- the opinion that
when athe official returns are made up
Merrimon will have a small maj jority.

Duncan and his co-workers will not
be satisfied unless they can do some
thing to aid in perpetuating the cor

his only hope of accomplishing this
is in dividing the opponents Of the

Advices from the most reliable
sources in Wisconsin put down Is
per cent of the Republican vote in
that State for Greeley. Fifteen
per cent. of the vote cast for Grant in
that State in 1868 is I6,327. This ad-
ded to the Seymour vote of the same
year will give Greeley 5000 majority.
We can give Grant 5 per cent of the
Democratic vote and still Greeley will
carry the State by "a small majority
IF Grant gets 3 per cent. of the Demo-
cratic vote in 1868 Greeley will, un-
der the estimate, carry the State of
Wisconsin by 1900 majority. The
way the tide is running the majority
is more likely to be double than under
that figure World. teg HGl9s99d 8

THE Radicals pretend to believe that
the electiono of Horace Greeley would
result disastroulsly to the business in
terests Of the country. This is most
absurd. Does any one suppose that a
state ofpeace, when the people control
their own local affairs, instead of hav-
ing them controlled by carpet baggers
kept in power over them by Federal
hayonets, will not be promotive of
prosperity? The onlyfones who will
suffer from such change will be a

have for years been gormandizing on
the substance of the people. aala ao9I

No sooner does one of the honored
leaders of Radicalism leave that party
than the entire Radical press fall to
abusing and traducing him. Men who
have never been accused of any acts
of dishonesty are shown to be totally
depraved, if what their former allies
say of them be true. They insinuate
that Greeley was known by them to
have been traitor and to haveicoE-
spired with Southern rebels to burn
northern cities; Sumner is accused
with being in league with ex-rebels
to sell the colored people back into
slavery; 'Schurz is accused of being
an habitual liar and with being COM
PEELED to leaYe Germany to avoid los
ing his head for crimes committed !;
Trnmbull is charged with being ter+
ribly corrupt and to have an exceed
ingly sore head; and now that Banks
has declared against them they have
all at once discovered that he was q
most notorious cotton thief and man
of exceeding bad character; and so on
through q long list of names who
were among the most honored and
trusted men of their party. Now If
what they say be true, by what pre-
eious set Of villains that party has
been managed in the past. And yet
during all these long years these men
have been practicing their iniquity,
and the Radical press and politicians
have been aware of the facts and yet
have been carefully concealing them
from the public eye. What have they
to say in exclamation of their conduct
in attempting to conceal and cover up
these iniquitous practices? Oh, but
now they have pnrifcd party, with
