The New York Eueniag Post,
usually candid, and not given to
hasty judgment says of Doolittle's
defense, that it "shows him to be a
good deal more rogue than even the
original correspondence revealed.
Whether the offer of fourth inter-
est in what was expected to prove a
money-making affair was to be re-
garded in the light of a reward for
past services, or of bride for SER
vices expected, is immaterial.
There stands the simple fact, which
he does not dispute, but which he
awkwardly tries to evade by null
titude of words not pertinent to the
case. OF course the whole transac-
ton was meant to be private one.
Such letters are not usually written
for the public eye. Doolittle stares
aghast at the sudden apparition like
Macbeth at the witches broth. He
would like to let all 60, that he
may resume his eloquent speeches
against the corruptions of the Pre-
sident; but it will stick, and honest
people everywhere will sec in it one
of these many secret wiles of dis
honesty which feed the vast pool of
political corruption" a. +

In his recent great speech, Sena-
tor Carpenter allnded to the finan-
cial condition of the country thus
forcibly and truthfully:
Andrew johnson, in the nearly
four years of his administration, re.
duced the public debt a little over
thirteen millions of dollars. Gene
raj Grant, within thirty days after
coming to the Presidency paid over
two millions of the public debt, and
in every single month from that to
this, not sometimes, not occasionly,
not when he happened to have funds,
but every single month he has re-
duccd this national debt at an aver
age Of $s,O0O,O0O per month ap-
plause over $3.50, 100000 in all.
Such reduction Of . national debt,
so soon after the termination of a
civil war, is an event unknown in
the history of the world, and this
fact alone has given onr nation a
credit abroad which no other nation
enjoys today. The United States
can borrow money anywhere in the
markets of the world, and not only
that, but capital is ready to pour in
upon US from the European nations
for any enterprise of internal i'm.
Provement upon merely being salts
ned that the wants of the communi-
tty require it. And why is this? 1t
is because the character and credit
OF this nation have been established
so high by Gen. Grant.

THE NATHAN MURDER
Forester, the Supposed Murderer.
Taken to New York.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Q. - This
morning Detective Philip Farley,
of New York, arrived and proceed
ed to Police Headquarters, where
he expressed doubts as to the arrest
of Billy Forester, but when taken
to the cell he recognized the prison
er as the person he wanted. 1t was
at first thought it would be unsafe
to take Forester to New York, as
his friends might attempt his rescue
but afterwards an arrangement was
effected with the railroad company
by which an apartment car vas
obtained, and at 10 o'clock this
morning the prisoner was placed
aboard the train, heavily ironed,
both hand and foot, and Chief Clar-
voc, with Detectives McElfresh, of
this city, and Farley, of New York,
started with him for New York.
Detective Farley stated, when ask
ed what connection Forester had
with the Nathan murder, that he
would not give three cents for his
neck if he got to New York.

ceived for Forester, the supposed

A Now Discovery.

The Greeleyites have been forced
to abandon their general charges
Of corruption against the Admins
tration. The proof submitted by
General Grants friends has been so
convincing that even tho rank and
file of the Democracy have been per-
suaded that the administration of
General Grant has been both honest
and economical. This admission
has thrown the opposition into con-
fusion. The reduction of the ma
tional debt to the amount of 1885,
900, 900 has been a stubborn fact to
overcome. They have given up the
task of disproving it, and have
changed the mode of attack. Fail
ing to prove the Administration cor
rupt. they attempt to rob the Presi-
dent of the credit which belongs to
him in the management of affairs.
"R'esiaem Grant didn't pay the
debt, the people paid b." Here is a
discovery. This may be good
plank to carry Greeley on, but tho
people will be apt to stand by the
man who permitted them to DO SO
much towards lessening the burdens
Of taxation. If the debt had been
increased would these Greeleyites
blame the people or General Grant?
They would have denounced the
President from Maine to California,
and would have secuted the idea Of
holding the people responsible. But
the debt has been decreased, and
these model reformers suddenly
discover that General Grant had
nothing to do with it, that the credit
belongs to the people who rendered
the money to accomplish the mag
nificent result. We are content to
to leave the credit to the people.
General Grant belongs to the people;
they sustained him in the past and
will stand by him in the future. He
has laborcd for the people, his work
has been their work, Endorsed by
them, and November will show that,
as tie fit representative Of their in
terests, they want him for the next
four years to permit them to do as
well by the nation as during the
four years past. Praise the people
for doing well and you pay tho
highest compliment to President
Grant, but what then becomes of
Summers charge of personal pre-
tensions and personal govern
ment?"

The efforts of the Greeley or.
CANS to keep up the dropping spirits
Of their party friends, and to parry
the effect of the late splendid Re.
publican Victories in Vermont and
Maine, are as ingenious as they are
amusing. Going back in the politi-
cal history Of the States named,
until they find year in which the
Republican majority was larger than
at this election, they straightway
institute a comparison, note the
difference and then complacently
fall back on the comforting assur.
ance that if the other States show a
corresponding gain, Greeley will be
elected sure. In this way they
figure out consolation for the failure
of their calculations in Maine and
Vermont, but we notice that it does
not seem to afford much comfort to
the rank and file of the confeder.
ate party. They would like to see
these ''gains" amount to Demo
cratic majority Somewhere.
Maine gave Republican majority
of $500 in 1870. This year she
nearly doubles it, and increases the
majority of last year 1000. Sup.
pose that every State shows a cor.
responding increase of its Republi-
can vote over that of 1870, where
will the Greeley party be in Novem'
Der.

murderer Of Nathan, and he is not
expected here before tomorrow.
Many persons think Forester is
not the murderer, but the detectives
At the Central Office generally ex-
press full confidence that he is, and
say that if he had been arrested
promptly the fact could have been
clearly established. A lapse oftwo
years has permitted the destruction
Of evidence and dispersal of wit
nesses and they admit it will be
difficult to present . case sufficiently
strong to insure his conviction.
Some even doubt that the man ar.
rested is Forester.
NEW. YoRK, Sept. Git is stated
that Governor Hoffman has not
furnished any requisition upon the
Government of tho District Of
Columbia for the delivery of For

that he will probably be seized b,
other officials and taken to Joliet
Illinois, to serve out his term there
whence he escaped some time ago.
Billy Forester, the alleged Ma
than murderer, arrived from Wash
ington this evening, in charge o
detectives, and was taken t
prison.

MAINE.
Have you Hoard from "Deown East!"

Have you Heard from ''Deown Easty
The old Pine State voted for State
officers and members of Congress
last Monday, and the result is a
brilliant Republican victory. The
canvass was a most earnest and
thorough one, especially on the part
of the Greeleyites. They made a
mighty effort and confidently antic-
ipated, if not the success of their
State ticket, at least the gain of a
Congressman or two. But the 'sti-
dial wave''is powerful weak in Maine.
The Republicans elect their Gov
crnor by about $4,000 majority
Every Congressional district is Re-
publican, the lowest by over 1900
majority; every county in the State
has been carried, something which
has never occurred but once before.
A determined effort was made to
defeat Speaker Blaine, but his major
ity is larger than in 1868. He car
ries every town in his county,
twenty, seven in all, and six Of them
heretofore Democratic. The ma
lily in the State reaches very
nearly that of 1868, when everything
Il rs favorable to the Republicans.
iiais year they labored under the
responsibility of a temperance law
passed by the last Legislature, which
it was expected would cost the Re-
pablicans from 1000 to 1000 votes.
Sat a comparison with the last three
years shows large Republican gains.
In 1869 the majority was 6,9sl;-
in 1870, $500, and in 1871, 1861.
Now it is $4,000, amply sufficient
to show that the grand old State is
yet safely moored to Republican
principles, and that Democratic
treeleyism is not popular among
her hardy sons. Now, where is the
tidal wave?

Decline in Greeley Stock.

Greeley stock is down, and is
going lower every day. If it con-
tinues to fall from now until No
vcmber as it has for the past month
he will be fortunate if he carries q
State in the Union. North Carolina
gave him the first heavy blow, then
came the local elections in Kentucky
and Tennessee, all indicating
that the bargain made at Baltimore
was not ratified by the honest Demo-
Gratis of the States named. His last
chance is in Maine. The desperate
measures resorted to in North Caro-
lima are being repeated in Maine.
He must carry Maine, or his cause
is lost. Without one substantial
victory to cheer his friends before
November they will desert him by
thousands and leave him with his
few sorehead followers "to paddle
their own canoe"
There are two good reasons for
the failure of this Greeley move
ment:
First. The unlmpeachable charac-
ter of General Grants administra-
ton.
Second. The thorough organiza-
ton of our friends throughout the
country.
The Administration may have
had its faults, but they are all ON its
surface, and, like the spots on the
sun, are unworthy of mention.
When human nature becomes per-
feet we may expect perfection in
human government - not before.
The more we examine into the ad-
ministration Of General Grant the
better it proves. The bitter oppo-
sition developed among few of its
former friends has had a tendency
to develop its grand results, and
these results have satisfied the peo-
pie. Greeley may cry "reform!''
and try through his organ to con-
vince the nation that the Admins
tration is corrupt and unworthy of
confidence, but he is silenced by
his own commentator Of a few
months since, and the charge Of his
friends go for naught. The people
know that an Administrator which
was considered model for honesty
and economy by Mr.. Greeley as late
as September, 1871, could not SO
suddenly become corrupt, especially
after Mr.. Greeley's nomination at
Baltimore. Considering the charac.
ter of the men who followed Mr..
Greeley out of our camp, the con-
clusion is that the Administration
is more honest and economical to-
day than ever before. We feel as
sured that this will be the popular
verdict in November next.
Let our friends continue their
organization everywhere. Good as
it is to-day, it may be made better.
Every voter should be known; every
district should be thoroughly can
vassed, SO that on the day Of cleo
ton every man who favors the cleo
ton of General Grant should SO ex-
press himself at the ballot box.
We waut to make the victory COM
plete, and by active work we can
administer to Mr.. Greeley q rebuke
that will be remembered by politi-
cal tricksters through all time. Or
ganize for the grand triumph which
awaits us in November! We have
a leader who, in the language of Mr..
Greeley, Mas mecer been defeated
and nerer piH be-" Let us stand
shoulder to shoulder-in the contest,
and prove to the world that General
Grant can lead an army Of freemen
to grander victories in times Of
peace than any achieved by him in
war.

Political Nnfaa.

The New York Times, after a careful
view Of the situation in New York,
says: "We repeat to our friends in tho
country that they will have at the out
side only $4,000 adverse majority to
overcome, and yet with that immense
and fraudulent majority in their favor,
the Democrats only carried the State by
10000. They arc sure to be $4,000
votes worse off in this city than in 1885,
Before the Vermont election, the New
York Tribune reported Republican

dred. The election showed just thirty
Liberal Republican ballots, which il

ports everywhere.

The Chicago Post correctly char
acterizes as senseless and absurd
the warfare based on charges of
acknowledgement against the can
didates in this campaign. Know
Nothingism is the deadest Of dead
issues. Not ten men in the whole
country with sense enough to keep
them out Of tho fire now indorse the
proscriptive principles of the de-
funct organization, or have the re-
hottest idea of attempting to gal
vanize it into new life. Near a
score of years ago, the movement
swept over portions of the country
like prairie fire, gathering in its
wake men of all parties and crseds,
but it was SO essentially impractical
BILE and anti-American that its decay
was almost contemporary with its
PRONUNCIATION.
For any bearing that it has on the
really vital issues of the present
campaign, it is of no more import
ance what connection Horace Gree
ley or Henry Wilson had with the
Know-Nothing movement eighteen
or twenty years ago than it is to
know what was the color of their
clothing at the same period. The
Post we'll says:
"What people want to know to
determine whether they will or will
not support Mr.. Greeley, is moi
whether he was or was not Know
Nothing centuries ago, but whether
he is or is not a Know-Somethine
now. Let Mr.. Greeley be first ex'
amined as to his fitness for the high
Office he aspires to, and then as to
his opinion upon the issues which
will come before the people and be-
fore Congress and the Executive
during his administration. 1t is
upon these vital points that the peo'
pie are concerned NJ. Greeley
might have been a thousand times a
Know-Nothing score ofyears ago,
but no foreigner with a thimbleful
of brains, in the light of his present
knowledge of Mr.. Greelcy's opin'
ions upon that subject, would give
the fact moments attention. Mr..
Greeley and Mr.. Wilson have got
to be measured by other standards
than those which affect only the
generations which are in their
graves. Let the dead past bury its
dead. The Ameri> an people are
on the march,"

The Chicago Times says, the
"opinion is now rapidly gaining
ground that the candidate in OPP
position to Mr.. Grant, is Charles
O'Conor." Mr.. O'Conor will have
to develop more strength than Gree.
ley has thus far, to elevate his
candidacy into the dignity of an
opposition.
