MORE FRAUD.

The ranking fraud practiced by the
Radicals at Washington has not been
stopped yet. The New York Tribune of
Sd inst. says:
"The Grant Committee is sending out
campaign circulars, in the German Ian
guage, as usual under the real or counter
felt frank of some Senator or Representa-
tive, and we have just received copy of
Circular No. s. containing a long and
ingeniously misleading essay on the Ma
tional Finances. At the bottom of this
document the Hon. L. Chandler, Chairman
of the Congressional Republican Commit
tee, reminds his correspondents that when
they write to him they need not pay their
postage. The frank used on this circular
is that of the Hon. and Rev. James
Harlan"
The Tribune says: 1t is very well known,
both to Mr.. Harlan and TO the Postmaster
of Washington, under whose personal d.
rection these documents are folded, franked
and mailed, that Senators and Representa-
tives are prohibited by law from sending
any free matter through the mails except
their correspondence, the proceedings and
debates in Congress, and public documents
printed by order of Congress. Mr.. Har-
Ian, therefore, ana Postmaster Edmunds,
and other parties TO such transactions, are
c7ncerned in a conspiracy to swinde the
Gov ri ment. Is it utterly impossible to
urIve the Administration into taking notice
Of ofenses committed by its own servants?

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democratic Congressional Commit
tee for this district have called a conven-
ton to meet in Gallatin on the 10th of Oc-
tober to nominate a candidate for Con-
gress. The Grant party will have candi-
date in the person of Col. Prosser; and w.
G. Brien, Esq, Of this city, taking advan-
tage of the cry for disorganization now so
prevalent, announces himselfs candidate
sin opposition to the present convention
system" 1t is therefore eminently wise
and proper that the Democracy of the dis
trict who favor organization and Democrat
ic triumph, and who oppose Democratic
d sorganization and defeat, should meet in
convention and select standard bearer who
will carry their banner bravely through the
district. Let the County Committees at
once take steps to have a full and fail
representation from their several counties
in the Convention.

IT turns out that Wilson's letter to GER
tain German citizens of Brooklyn, denying
that he had ever been Know Nothing, is
not forgery. The Boston Globe Grant
organ) of the I'd inst. says:
'Mr. James Redpath states that the let
ter addressed to the Brooklyn Germans,
and signed Henry Wilson, was written by
a gentleman of this city, who signed it,
but qualified the signature by adding per
A. b. or whatever are the initials of his
own name. Mr.. Wilson received the letter
to which it was an answer, and handed it
to German friend with the request for him
to answer it in general terms. The re-
quest was obeyed, but too literally; and
Mr.. Wilson never saw the reply, as he was
not in the State when it was sent. There
was no fraudulent intent on the part of the
writer"
1t thus appears that Wilson authorized a
German friend to answer the letter from
Brooklyn, and then pronounced the letter
forgery. Unfortunate Wilson!

THE jackson Plain Dealer, speaking Of
the announcement of Col. COlyar as a
candidate for Governor independent of
Conventions" says: $50 it goes. Let us
have thousand more candidates" Why
not thousand more candidates? Is not
party organization farce and fraud?
Has not every man right to run? Have
not Conventions always cheated the people
and ruined the country? Is not party Or
ganization political tyranny and despotism?
Is it not better to deliver the State into the
keeping of the observation-disclosures
party than TO deny every Democratic free
man the right TO run for any and every office?
Are not Democratic conventions worse
than Radicalism, and cannot the people
better stand Radicalism than they can the
action of Democratic conventions? The
Banner and the disorganizers will answer
all these questions in the affirmative; but
the anti-G Grant Democracy who have so
long aud so faithfully yielded to Organiza-
ton, and found in it the life of the party,
while other parties were dying and dead,
will answer these interrogations with an
emphatic No. Let Democrats who believe
in their party, because of its great and IN
dying principles, stand by their party Or
ganization and its ancient usages.

GEN. GRANT has been charged with
using the power and patronage of his ad-
ministration to consummate schemes Of
private advancement and profit. Upon
this point Senator Schurz bears the follow
ing testimony: "When the Santo Domin-
90 scheme was pending, two gentlemen, in
s somewhat intimate relations with the
White House, came to me, each one sepa-
rately, soliciting my support to the project,
and telling me that could have all the pat
ronage l wanted if would aid the Presi-
dent" One of these gentlemen was called
into Court, and he supported the allega-
lions of Senator Schurz in the most positive
manner. Senator Upton also detailed a
similar statement of facts in relation to the
offers of patronage for votes in the Senate;
and thus the President stands convicted OF
using his high Office for base, personal uses
Grant and Hartrauft are in the same boat,
and will sink together.

York-Gov. Fenton, now Greeley man
voted against it. Then there was Sedg
wick, of New York-another Greeley man
land Tappan, of New Hampshire, who
was on the Committee, and made a minori-
ty report, he voted against it, and
he recently came out for Greeley. Both
Hickman and Grow of Pennsylvania voted
against it and they are both Greeley men
to-day. So much for the record in the
House of Representatives. How was it in
the Senate? Among the members Of the
Senate who voted for it were Anthony, of
Rhode Island, and Harlan, of Iowa-good
Grant men. There are not many Senator'S
now who were in-the Senate at that time.
Then of those who voted against it were
Bingham, of Michigan, who is now dead;
Doolittle, of Wisconsin, Sumner, of Massa
chusetts [cheers]. and Trumbull, of Illinois.
TCheers.] That is the record made in
those days, and now you denounce Greeley
because he was willing in 1864 to pay $780,
100000 for the emancipated slaves, and
stop the war. Would to God he could have
done it. We could have saved 81, 200, OO0,
600, and 100000 precious lives"
Hon. Richard H. Dana recently wrote a
letter to the colored people of Boston. 1t
was an anti-Greeley dab, and in it he said:
'My brethren of the African race, you
should have long memories. Now that you
have come to the possession of political
power, and large share of it, claims will
be made upon your confidence and graft
tude which will not always bear the test Of
examination"
A correspondent of the Tribune, who has
long memory, reminds Mr.. Dana that on
the 5th of October, 1858, in a speech de-
livered at Cambridge, Mass, he publicly
denounced those supporters of Lincoln who
wished to make the war a struggle for uni
versal emancipation as well as for the res
toration of the Union. He said: ''Can-
ming deprecated war of opinion. Burke
stood aghast at the spectre of an armed doc
trine. In time of peace the doctrinaire is an
annoyance. But in time of civil war, when
all foundations are broken up, all interests
in peril and mems passions reused to fury,
what can be more dangerous to let loose on
the comm unity than an armed doctrinaire?
He theories with bayonets; he dogmatizes
in blood" Thus Dana of 1868 is contrast
ed with Dana of 1872, and his "brethren OF
the African race" can take which man they
please. 1t does seem as if the support OF
Grant killed all the nobility of a mans ma
ture, and sank him to the level of mere
political trickster and sycophant.
