nounces its platform as follows: "Let it
be understood that we do not want u
Democrat to be elected next fall half SO
much as we want gentleman, states
man, and man of honor, no matter
what his politics, elected over a nepo
fist, a gfttaker, and corrupt head OF
VIGOROUSLY numerous and corrupt
family"
Ar last one of Grants relatives has
been found who does not belong to that
class of otliceholders who never resign
and rarely die. Gen. Longstreet, Sur
veyor of the Port of New . leans, has
thrown up his office, and, it is said, has
at the same time protested against the
management of the custom house ut
that place. Lest any should indulge in
the hope that his example may prove
infectious in the Grant family, it should
be borne in mind that he is not an OFT
shoot of the genuine Grant stock, but
is only = distant connection of the fam
lily by marriage, and there is therefore
little hope that the complaint will run
through the family.
IT is stated that some time prior to
the assembling Of the convention at
Chicago in 1860, Mr.. Lincoln recon-
mended Judge David Davis as the can
didate for the Presidency, as man
possessing all the qualifications for the
position, and of unquestioned integrity.
THE New York World has cores
pendent who advocates the nomination
of the Hon. Charles Francis Adams for
the Presidency by the Democrats, and
the World cordially seconds the sugges-
ton. In doing so, however, while de-
claring that Mr.. Adams's qualifications
for the office are pre-eminent, the World
expresses its willingness to support
either Mr.. Trumbull. Judge Davis, or
Gov. Brown, if nominated.
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1872-03-29

of gain in the towns that have been
heard from would tend to show that
the majority will be considerably above
the figure. The result is the election OF
the Republican ticket of State officers ;
the election of three Republican mem
bers of Congress to take the seats now
occupied by three Democrats and the
election of Republican Legislature,
which will elect.a Republican United
States Senator.
1t is no secret how this success has
been achieved. The Radicals have
labored With an energy and desperation
rarely equaled in the history Of Ameri.
can politics. They have been assisted
by the entire strength of the Admins
tration, and by several such rich and
powerful monopolies as the Union
Pacific railroad, the Secretary of which
CORPORATION was the chief organizer OF
the campaign, and is a prominent can.
didate for the United States Senator
ship. Radical orators have discoursed
at every crossroads, and Senator Will
son, the Oily Cannon of radicalism,
was sent thither 10 explain, not how
pure the Administration had been,-ior
even Wilson repudated that task.-but
how good it was going to be. Over and
above all these extraordinary efforts is
the fact that New Hampshire is Re-
publican State. Two years ago the Re-
publican candidate for Governor had a
majority of nearly 10000 over the Demo
cratic candidate, and, with the single
exception of last year, the State has
gone Republican for the last twelve
years, at least.
The defeati is abundantly compensated
by the moral which it affords. This
moral is embodied in the obvious de-
duction that the Democratic party alone
stands no shadow of chance to pre-.
vent the reelection Of Grant. The
most hopelessly pig-head Bourbon in
the party must now recognize the fact
that Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent could not carry more than one.
third of the electoral vote. 1t follows
that the hope of rescuing the country
from imperialism and corruption de-
ponds solely on the union of all the
elements of opposition. To secure this
union, and to achieve the victory which
it almost assures, it is only necessary that
the Convention at Cincinnati shall re-
cognize the wide and spontaneous ex-
pressions ofpopular approval that have
been elected by the selection of can
didate which was made at Columbus

The Republican of Springfield, Mass,
calls attention to a new swindle that is
being practiced on farmers in that
vicinity. The swindler makes tempt
ing offer for the farm, causes stories to
circulate Of his wealth and solidity, and
proposes to take deed of the real
estate, conditioned for the payment of
the full amount Of the purchase, in
Guiding personal property, possession of
the real estate to be given at future
day, and the first note payable, also, at
a future day. The deed and notes are
executed. A bill Of sale Of all the stock,
personal property, etc., is made out to
him, and, as the purchase money is in.
cluded in the note secured by the con-
ditional deed, it is receipted and de-
livered. The personal property is i'm
MI diately or soon after claimed either
by, or sold to, or attached by third
party, "an innocent purchaser in good
faith" of course, and removed. In one
case bill of sale covered property to
the value Of over 81 900.

The fight goes bravely ON, everywhere
and against all sorts OF peculation and
jobbery. This is the year OF in yestica-
tons. Not that there are more thieves
in this year Of grace 1871 than i'm anv
other year cf grace. But the great no.
litical questions are in some sense ont
OF the way, and now the public con.
science has come with swift and sud.
den retribution against the uniaith-
full stewards, who, having presumed on
delay, have wasted their masters goods
in riotous living.
In New York the overthrow Of tho
Ring becomes every day more and more
utter. Last Thursday, as Mayor Halls
trial dragged its slow length along, and
all had grown tired of the tedious battle
OF technicalities, Andrew j. Garvey, the
swindling plasterer Of the public build
ings, who spread on his charges entirely
too thick, and who has been TOR n long
time in hiding, was suddenly marched
out OF private room, to the great con-
sternation of all concerned in the de.
tense of the Ring. lie comes prepared
to make clean breast OF it, as soon as
the technical points raised by the law
ycIs Will ulIOW lib tcetIlOIy 10 De gwen.
Connolly is said to have fled the city.
Tweed is in hiding, and the battle seems
to be pushing itself to the last refuge of
the thieves, who are already politically
ruined, and who can hardly escape the
punishment due their crimes.
At Washington three Congressional
Investigations are pending-One into the
New York Custom House and General
Order abuse, and TWO into the French
arms business. These committees ought
to investigate thoroughly and conscien-
tiously, in the interest of pure govern
ment, into the conduct of all officers of
the Government connected with both
these affairs.
In the South the reckless adventures
who have plundered the States under
pretense of governing them, are coming
to grief, and, on the whole, we believe
this to be year of reforms. The old
abuses, always hiding away in the city,
State, and federal governments. can
hide no longer against an awakened
public conscience.

Captain Samuel c. Scott, Of Co. T.,
3lst Indiana (Col. Charles Cruit's) regi.
ment states that upon u certain time,
late al night, dark and raining, and
down in Alabama, his regiment marched
into a village, and found that all the
white inhabitants had fed, leaving un.
disputed possession to the regiment of
brave boys. Seeing how matters stood,
the pyivates were told TO quarter in
such vacant houses as they wished, and
Company 4, headed by their gallant
captain, entered small house near by.
Cropping their way in the dark. they
found rear, and still further back was
another room with the door locked. A
bayonet soon opened it, and it was at
once filled with the company, who sat
down on the floor around the walls in
the dark. A soldier, after locating
himself comfortably, thought he would
take good smoke, and for that pur-
pose lighted match. This quick fit.
ting light only lasted long enough TO
show the horrible surroundings. In
the middle of the room, hanging by the
neck, from ring in the joist, was q
large, naked human being, with his
flesh about half carved from his bones,
and hanging about him in strips a yard
long or more! "Good Lord" bursted
from every lip, and such scramble to
leave the horrid premises was only
equaled by the gentle departure from
Bull Run, in which some of our citizens
took praiseworthy part.
The investigation in the morning
showed that they had taken possession
of doctors Office, the rear part of
which was dissecting room, and that
the doctor, just then had fresh sub.
ject on hand. The captain further
states that, thereafter Company +
never bivouacked in strange premises at
night without first having some light on
the subject.-Trre Hnte Express.
