THE movers of the investigating COM

run through the different Departments and
saunter about the Executive Mansion in
pursuit of some information which might
aid them in the successful prosecution of
the investigation. Many are the interest
ing incidents now in circulation respecting
the ways adopted by them to get such in
formation. Those employed feel like maxi
ing show of earning their money, and
have, from day to day, reported with re-
concentrations, AMI the result is, many
have been summoned who know nothing
whatever of the subjects in question. 80
thoroughly has this condition OF affairs
been made apparent that even the sensa-
tional Dana was heard to say, the other

LOYAL MEN FOR OFFICE.

The Cincinnati Convention will, no
doubt, endeavor to present a conservative
platform, with conservative man to stand
upon it. Its leaders are known to indorse
the policy of opening the offices of the
country, to the loyal and disloyal, drawing
no line of distinction between the two
classes. Trumbull and Schurz have al
ready Endorsed the conservative policy
Once in practice, when will it end If
line is drawn between the loyal and dis
loyal applicant for office, why draw line
between the heirs of the Union soldier and
the rebel. Why draw line of distinction
between the loyal and disloyal claimant?
Why repudiate the debt of the defunct
Confederacy, and insist on the payment of
our own? The same principle that ap-
plies to the one applies to the other. Once
permit the conservative wedge to enter our
political policy, and the payment of the
rebel debt, or the reputation of our own,
are certainties which stare US in the face.
A few disloyal men in Office could do us
no harm, but the admission of the princi-
pie which placed them there would, in the
end, destroy the government. We trust
the loyal millions will put their seal Of
condemnation on this fatally unwisc policy.
The loyal element, which saved the nation,
should be the only element to govern it.

CHOW ABOUT FoRNEy 2"

So triumphantly interrogates Demo-
cratic contemporary. The answer con-
tained by implication in the question is
that Forney has deserted the Admnistra-
ton. Colonel John W. Forney is one OF
the most true-hearted, loyal and gifted oil
our public men. We have seen,him turn
bravely away from the seats of power,
spurning its gifts and treading under
foot its gilded promises, when 1t
asked him to betray freedom. He is cast
in the old heroic mold and cannot be made
courtier. But Colonel Forney is o firm
consistent friend of General Grant, and
while exercising his undoubted right OF
free criticism, as a citizen and journalist,
he supports the Administration.
His words are timely. Let Pennsylvania
Republicans cleanse their skirts OF all ioul-
ness. and unite with him in the grand strug-
gle for the country and liberty.
Here is what he says in yesterdays
Press: .....-.-..
4 "Some good people are nursing the fear
because many Republicans OF Pennsylvania
are not satisfied with some of the State and
county nominations, that this dlssatisiac.
] ton is omnous to the Republican electoral
ticket in November. We do not sympa-
thize in the apprehension indeed, we be-
; lieye that if the feeling against some
of the nominations were not allowed Tree
EXPRESSION, the result would be certainly
+, disastrous. The October election this
|, year. in Pennsylvania, is unusually I'M.
9 portant outside of the Presidency; so inn
:, portant in fact, that, judged by Its
!, immediate operation, it touches directly,
d thousand personal interests. In the
r organization known as the Citizens
Municipal Reform Association, arr
q many active supporters of Grant; thu
y Republicans who are contending for reform
n Wwithin the lines of the party" are de
5, voted to Grants reelection and every he
f. publican newspaper that protests agalnss
8 the usurpations of our local managers
. earnest in the same direction. 1t would b
'e a sorry sight if the efforts of these inf1u
OF ences to improve our municipal affairs an
in to saye our party were treated with lndilfel
m ence or. still worse, denounced as treason
y. The day has passed, as all men know
= when objectionable nominations can Q
nv forced upon intelligent people, and 1t
nd passed, never to be renewed, IN view OF u
a fact, constantly proved, that such nomln
an tons, if allowed to be crowned by an ele
N ton, are the source of new wrongs.
III "President Grants reelection IS vital
EN- the country, and every sacrifice should
,ci- made, consistent with honor, to make
arc safe and sure. None will go farther-ie
g SO farm this direction as the Press.
% And it is in this spirit that we ,ple'
an against all efforts to use his name either
leir a means to Justify bad nominations or as
ical threat against those who resist such nor
;cal nations.
