That $500, 100000 FaIsehood.

The democrats publish so many false
hoods that even the Tribune is obliged to
turn upon, expose and denounce them.
A pamphlet issued by the National
Democratic Resident Committee in Wash
ington and sent over the country, purport-
ing to expose immense frauds in the
Treasury Department, in which the ma
tional expenditures are said to have been
$500, 1000, 900 year since Grant became
President, obliged the Tribune to say:
Fully maintaining the almost utter worth
lessness Of the Finance reports, WE STILL
KNOW THAT TIE NATOSMAL EXPENDITURES
HAVE NOT BEEN $500, 600, 900 YEAR SINCE
THE ACCESSION GF GRANT NOR HALF THAT
SUM. The Grant campaigners employ myr
lads of documents, swarming with refuted
ISLANDERS. Let us leave them the monopoly of
everything in the remotest degree resembling
that sort of warfare.
For our own part we discaim any part in
this plan of imputing want of honesty
where the offense is simply want of brains.
The people desire plain statements Of facts,
not puzzles and prodigies of bookkeeping,
from which the truth can no more be extract
ed than the square root Of minus quantity.

Want OfVitality.

If a deficiency OF vital energy is not disease IN
itself it is condition which lays the system open
to the attacks of all conceivable maladies. Night
and day we are surrounded more or less by delet'
erious influences. No atmosphere is entirely pure,
no water utterly free fom injurious particles;
while in many localities both are positively I'M
wholesome. What defence has the weak languld
SYSTEM in which the vital principle is deficient or
dormant, against any of the morbid influences
which produce epidemic and other diseases None
whatever There is safety save in artificial re-
enforcement. Hostctters Stomach Bitcrs have
beyond all question vitalizing effect If the ner-
vous forces of the body have been recklessly ex-
pended in eXhausting ply scal or mental labor, or
dissipated in the indulgences of fast" life this
powerful vegetable tonic and corrective Will re-
store them. If the defective vitality Is constltu'
tional evil it can be remedied ut a great extent by
this wonderful invigoraht. At season OF the year
when the air is or less impregnated with the
seets of periodic ieyers, it is especially desirable
that the digestion should be perfect, the habit OF
body regular the liver active, the blood pure and
protection against all disorders and they are con
ditions which the Bitters better adapted than
any other medicinal agent to promote and secure
See to it. however, that imitation or counterie
is substituted fer the genuine article, anu let all
who value health and have an antpathy 10 poison
beware Of the local bitters made from condemned
drugs and Wiley aduerated alcohol, which nave
sprung up like unwhoesome fungi all over the
country.

SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP,

SCHENCk'S MANDRAhE IlLISy

Sometimes medicines that will stop a cough will
often occasion the death of the patient. 1t locks up
the liver stops the circulation OF the blood heinor
rhage follows and, in fact, cloEging tine action OF
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes OF
two,thirds OF the cases of consumption. Many are
now complaining with dull pain in the side, the
bowels sometimes costive and sometimes too loose,
sometimes very restless, and at other times drow
sy: the food that is taken lies heavily on the so
ach, accompanied with acidity and belching of
wind. These symptoms usually originate from a
disordered condition of the stomach or torpid
liver. Persons affected if they take one or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive and before
the patient is aware of his situation the lungs are
mass of sores and liberated and death is the IN

Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an eNpectorant
which does not contain any opium, nor anything
calculated to check a cough suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juice ofthe stomach, digests
easily, nourishes the system, and creates healthy

The fact that Mr.. Greeley had committed
himself in favor of pensioning rebel sol
diers was first made known in the Bing-
hampton Republican, which also published
the facts in relation to Greeley's bargain
with Seymour and other democrats for the
democratic nomination for President In
its issue Of the oath the Republican takes
up the matter again and charges that "Mr.
Greeley committed himself last Fall in
favor of rebel pensions, both in writing
and by personal understanding" 1t re-
views the course of the Tribune and Mr.
Greeley in relation to the matter and adds !:
This quibbling of Greeley and the Tribune
the repeated refusals of Greeley to meet a
plain and direct issue with denial, in case
where petty evasons are deemed necessary,
on account of the gravity of the charge
would alone, if there were nothing else, set
tie the question Of Mr.. Greeley's guilt
against him. But sin point of fact" as the
Tribunes evasion of Senator Carpenters
charge reads, there is something else. Mr.
Greeley is implicated in rebel pension cor
respondence. "The "views" of Mr. Carmi-
chael; the fact that he wrote them to Mr..
Greeley; that they included the rebel pension
propositions; that Mr.. Greeley's was regard
ed by Carmichael as embracing an acceptance
of rebel pensions as soon as he understood its
purport; that the letter of Greeley contained
approving expressions not printed in the
synopsis that Carmichael in mis- subsequent
interview with Greeley discussed the propo-
sitons of his letter, and on his return distinct
ly and earnestly declared Mr.. Greeley's ac-
ceptance of rebel pensions as among the
'comprises"-whichs said compromises Mr..
Greeley thought ought to be adopted at once,
and finally, are facts that can be proved upon
strong circumstantial and direct evidence.
In all this we take no account of Mr.. Carpen-
ter's affidavits the case is complete without it.

Mr.. Trumbull's Position.

The Philadelphia North American says Mr..
Trumbulls position is among the curiosities
of politics. Abraham Lincoln, who made the
famous challenge debate tour of Illinois with
Judge Douglass, when the two were candi.
dates for United States Senator, did more in
that time to build up and consolidate the an
ti-slavery sentiment in Illinois than any dozen
other men. Douglass succeeded. When the
next senator was to be elected Mr.. Lincoln
was again candidate, and Mr.. Trumbull,
then on the bench of the Supreme Court,
stepped out of the Democratic party and took
the prize Mr.. Lincoln had so nobly earned.
But, to Mr.. Trumbulls chagrin, the people
made this same Lincoln President over his
head, and his career proved one of the most
illu. trious in history. Mr.. Trumbull got into
the senate, which has from time immemoral
been the burial place of Presidential candi-
dates, and Mr.. Lincoln was saved from such
a fate. Again in 1868 another President was
taken from Illinois-a man who in 1860 was
an humble tanner In Galena. Mr.. Trumbulrs
course during Grants Administration is the
natural corollary of this. But he was just
as much opposed to Lincoln's Administration
as to Grants, only he did not deem it prudent
to show it. When the Liberal Convention
met Mr.. Trumbull was a candidate for Presi-
dent, but there were two other candidates
from Illinois, and he was beaten.

Judge Hoar on President Grant,

There is no man in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, whose judgement and
testimony in regard to the Administration
would he received with more implicit con-
fidence than those of Judge Hoar. No
body doubts that he is sincere when he
gives his opinion, and no body questions
that he understands the matter upon which
he gives his views lie says the Presi-
dent has made some mistakes and so has
Congress, and there are things that need
correction, but the remedy may and should
be applied inside the republican party.
He thinks the spectacle Of the "benevo-
lent Mr.. Greeley supported on one side
by Andrew johnson and General Blair,
and endorsed by Senator Fenton and Tam
many Hall, and exhorting the republican
party to turn from violence and corruption
/ is almost too edifying OF President Grant
he says:
think General Grant able, patriotic and
upright. Whatever mistakes he has made,
do not know any man in public life who has
been named in connection with the Presiden-
cy whom l should think preferable on the
whole. His magnanimty since the war has
equalled the courage and persistency with
which he conducted it. Following the de-
claration, 'let us have peace, he sought IN
the most direct and simple way to complete
the restoration of the Union by recalling the
last of the seeded States to their proper re-
latons to the government and the country;
and it is to him that Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas are largely indebted for the opportunity

Another Grceleyife FaIseh0Od

Some Greeleyites sent dispatch from
Washington to the Chicago Tribune to the
effect that J. Perhsm, Jr., brother of Cover
nor Perham of Maine, had written to an
official there ''that his brother was confident
of reelection by "A small majority, but that
thousands of those who vote for him will vote
for Greeley" We have the assurance of Mr..
Perham that he never wrote anything of the
kind lie has visited Maine and is sure, as
any one who will visit the Pine Tree State,
that Governor Perham will have an increased
majority in September, and that in November
General Grant will have a majority which will
make the Greeley coaltionists wonder at their
presumption in ever thinking they had
| chance of success. - Boston Journal,

Grant and Wilson Demo rats.

The Greeley democrats having pledged
in their convention the liberal republicans
to vote for Kimball, are slyly at work to
prevent the Grant and Wilson democrats
voting for Perham and the State
ticket. This little game will not work if
the Grant democrats are smart. They
should come squarely up to the work on
the 9th and vote the whole republican
ticket. In this way the game of the Gree
leyites will be spoiled. They wink among
and say they do not care how
much you vote for Grant in November if
you go for Kmball in September. Every
Grant democrat should vote for Perham
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1872-08-28
How Does this Agree with the
Greeley Platform.

4
We are told by the Greeleyites that the
democrats have accepted the late amend
ments to the Constitution, and that now
there is no reason to fear chat they VIII
not be observed and executed in good
faith. Mr.. Trumbull tells US that the word
"slave" is wiped out Of our vocabulary
and so should the word rebel be- We
are exhorted to be forgiying, trusting, to
take the men who were once rebels to oui
bosoms, and trust the negro to the Cincin-
natl platform and their late masters.
This kind of talk sounds pleasantly, and
1t seems almost unkind to disbelieve its
genuineness, when it is urged with hand
upon the heart and streaming eyes. But
nevertheless the republican party is faith
less. 1t does not believe in the CONVEX
sion of the democracy or that the negro
will have fair play in the clutches Of their
former owners.
Look at what the democracy have just
attempted to do in the late election in
Western Virginia. and then say whether
their action is in accordance with the Gin
cinnati platform, the spirit of the Amend
ments, or that justice and equality which
are demanded for all without regard to
color.
In the new constitution just submitted
to the people and voted down clause
was inserted PROHIBITING THE
BLACKS FROM HOLDING OFFICE.
This constitution was the work Of demo-
cratic hands, and 1T WAS SUPPORTED
AT THE POLLS BY DEMOCRATS. The
republicans voted against it and by the aid
of the Independent democrats it was de-
fcated.
Here we see what all the talk about fan
play for the negro amounts to. Before the
Presidential campaign is half over we
have this example of the way in which The
Amendments will be kept. They evade the
true intent of the fourteenth amend
ment which is equality for all, stamp
ing it under their feet and the negro will
it.
In similar ways they would probably null
lily the prohibition against paying the
rebel debt. "How absurd" exclaims the
Tribune ''to talk about paying the rebel
debt or pensioning the rebel soldiers
is it not provided in the constitutional
amendments that these things shall never
be done?' Suppose it is, so are the equal
rights of the negroes intended to be Sc
cured by the amendments, but they are
not it seems, neither would the other be.
We point the republicans of Maine to
the course of the democrats in Western
Virginia, in trying to deprive the colored
people of the equality guaranteed them in
the Constitution, as an example of what
might be expected should the democrats
succeed in getting power in the nation
Every effort would be made to nullify and
overturn the amendments. Let the repub
lican party in the nation stand firm as the
republicans in Western Virginia stood fol-
the principle of equal tights. There il
no hope of its preservation except in The
continued rule of the party that engraltet
it upon the Constitution.

the PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KENTUCKY.
Second Grand Gift Concert.
DAY OF THE DRAWING FIXED.


To the public:
The Trustees of the Public Library of Kentucky
being satisfied from the large sale Oftickets already
made and the daily increasing demand for them,
that there will be no occasion for postponing the
| second drawing in the Gilt Concert in aid of the
Public Library of Kentucky, have instructed me,
as their agent and manager of the GIFT Concert to
ing will positively take place on September 2Sth
proX., and will not be postponed. An active de.
mand for tickets from every State and Terri
tory of the United States, and from the Canadas'
giving assurance to the Trustees that no circum.
stances can prevent a drawing at the appointed
time
A sufficient clerical force is engaged to keep up
with the orders for tickets, and in order that this
Office may be relieved OF the immense pressure
incident to the business for the week or two imme'
diately preceding the drawing, agents especially,
and those DESTROYS of procuring tickets, are re
quested to send in their orders Immediately as sales
will have to be closed in time to make the necessary
preparations for the drawing. 1t is the wish OF the
management to ill every order for ticket, as well
as to sell all the tickets, but those who apply first
must first be supplied and, if those who put OH
buying until sales are closed have their money re-
turned instead of the tickets ordered as in the rst
Gilt Concert in December last, when thousands OF
dollars that came late were sent back, they Will
have none to blame but themselves.
