4 Telling Arrangement.

| The lPestttche Post, Carl Schurz's Ger
man organ, prefers ain the name of the
common welfare, the honor and integrity
ofthe American people," any man to Grant
backed, as he is by corps d'armee of
currupt officials, thoroughly drilled bread
and-butter brigades in full force, sanity,
submissive and Unsuitable in appetite. 1t
makes formal arraignment of the Grant
administration, and arrays facts why it
should not longer be continued:
Grant has promised us in his letter of ac.
ceptance to continue the business of the
Government with the same zeal, and in the
same manner as formerly, and the bread
and butter brigade responded with enthu-
siastic applause. We now beg the consci-
entious reformer to consider what the re-
election Of Grant and the continuance of
the present policy means.
They mean the application of more OPP
pressive military rule in the South, and not
the policy of reconciliation.
They mean the continued support of the
shameless carpet-bag governments in the
formerly rebellious States.
They mean continued chershing of ha-
tired and luminosity between the North and
South.
They mean acts of nepotism and favorit-
ism which will operate with a still more
immoral influence upon the public SER
vice, if the people, by the reelection of
Grant, show that these are matters of no
concern to them.
They mean a new bloom and crop of
corruption, not alone in the custom houses
of New York and New Orleans, but in the
whole country.
They mean the resumption and then the
carrying through ofthe San Domingo spec
ulation, which Grant relinquished because
he feared that it would damage his chance
for reelection.
They mean continuance ofthe outland-
ish foreign policy which has almost sue
ceeded in making the name of the Ameri-
can republic q by word and reproach
abroad, and has brought the danger of
trouble with foreign powers.
They mean further despotic interference
of the President in the political affairs of
the States, packing party conventions and
the bribery of the delegates with Govern
ment patronage.
They mean greater audacity than ever
of military rings" which have surround
ed the President, and have enabled him to
use the substance for his own benefit.
They mean that the peoples voice shall
sanction and white-wash the Presidents
assumption Of power.
They mean the continued bondage of the
Government office holders, who even now
do not dare to speak for fear oflosing their
bread and butter.
They mean the complete servility of
Congress to the President, the approval of
all unlawful acts, the withdrawing of all
corruption, and an INSCRIPTIONS and de-
moralizing party despotism, such as we
have never yet seen, and we have already
seen much more than we are able to bear
The reelection of Grant means all this,
and indeed, in increased measure, for
through the bare fact of his election the
fear of displeasing the people will prevail,
and loose rein will be given to the arbi-
trary rule of the White House.
All these things will as Co. .-ollow
the reelection Of Grant as thunder 4 Tvs
lightning.

the merits Of the bill, and when an attempt W Is
made TO amend it 80 as 10 provide for accomm ,
dations tor Garrett on ArmoTy square reserva-
ton, MIR. Starkweather replied that that road
had offered no plan of its own, but when il
should he would support it. lie was not will
ling, however, that This bill should be encum-
bered with amendments. The Baltimore and
Pttomac road was new enterprise in this COM
munity, and he hoped the bill would pass
Mr.. Eldridge said the committee had given
patient hearing to both the friends and oppO-
nents OF this bill, and urged its passage.
General Chapman followed Mr.. Eidridge in
support OF the bill. and spoke OF the need OF the
District for railroad facilities. The people of
this District wanted TO make il popular as a
pace OF public resort, and therefore wanted
railroads. He had nothing To say against the
baltimore and Ohio company, but il he should
give exp esson 10 the feeling OF his constituents
he would speak in the severest terms of that
company. He was willing 70 assist Mr. arrett
In any effort he should make to benefit the
community, but hoped that the bill now before
the HeuSe would be passed, and when Mr.
Jarrett should bring forward his plans he would
be willing TO assist him, and not make any un-
falr Discrimination against him.
A letter from Superintendent j. O. Wilson
was read, stating that the public school build
ing now being erected was intended to accom-
madate 200 pupils, and if it had been known
that Il was the intention 20 erect a depot on the
corner OF 9Th street and Virginia avenue, oppo-
site the school building, when the contract a.
awarded, the building would never have been
located there.
As our report closed the opponents of the bill
had begun fllibustering, and were ordering
ayes anc nays on dilatory motions.

VICIssITUDEs OF TINE AND FoRTUNR.-Ben-

New York the other day, became a clerk in a
banking-hous of that city when a young man,
and pleased his employers so wei that they
soon made him their chief book-keeper This
position he held for several years, when he
opened house of his own in wall street, where,
by a series of lucky speculations;h he succeeded
so well that he was enabled to retire after a
while with princely fortune. But misfortunes
finally overlook him, and toward the close OF
his life he was thrown for support upon the gen

friend asking for a loan Of s25.

edge how the copy of the letter referred TO was
obtained. Mr.. SchurZ was asked who the mem
Der OF Congress was, but said he did not feel at
liberty TO tell; probably the member himself
would have no objectiaD, however. He could say
that il was not Senator Sumner. In reply to a
question az TO whether he had any knowledge
mat any officer connected with the government
received money, directly or indirectly, from the
sale Of arms, MIR. Schurz replied that a good
deal OF information ad come to him from third
persons, ia confidence. He thought this infor-
nation might be obtained by the committee i'm
evidence. MIR. Carpenter, who asked the ques.
ton from what persons Mr.. SchurZ obtained
this information, said he would waive il at pres
