By surprise, and created feeling of bitter
disappointment among Senators and f1efi-

executive. The ante-room Of the White
House was full most of the day with call
ers, who very generally were under the I'M
preston that the President would not de-
sert the White Hoase quite as soon as
Congress deserted the capitol. Some in
dignant Representatives, who had impor-
tant business to transact and could find
neither the President nor either Of his sec
retaries, declared that there was more truth
than they had supposed in Mr.. Summers
charge that the executive spent most Of his
time seaside lettering. A great many had
pUposely been delaying pressing their mat
ters on the President till Congress had
gone, in order that he might rave more
time.

From the Springfield Republican.

rom the EprlnghGlu AsepuDllCan.
Take the South Carolina delegates for
example. Their case is perhaps the worst,
but there are others not much better. What
do they represent? Tie most Yillainous
Government ever seen in a free Christian
Commonwealth Government which is
only a synonym for scientific scoundrelism
and Organized pinage. a few INSCRIPTIONS
and avaricious adventurers have tenn
rorarily cJnfiscated a State Of the Ameri-
can Union 10 their private use and
emolument. They have found a
few nadve-born rascals as inscriptions as
themselves, and taken th m into partnership.
They have secured the ignorant negroes by
a system of secret, Oath-bound societies;
by skillfully appealing to their resentments
and their fears-in which the Ku-Klux in
sanity has, of course, been Of Invaluable as
sistance to them; by the magic Of the Re
publican name, and by dividing Office and
plumber with their leaders, always reserving
for themselves, however, the lions share.
Tie history of their shameful rule is bnoWn
TO the American people. Yet these fellows
call themselves Republicans, hold up their
heads with the best, and cheer for Grant
with the loudest. They come into
the National Convention, their hands
reeking from corrupt jobs, their pockets
heavy with stolen money, and sit down on
equal terms with the representatives of
Massachusetts,. They are quite right in
regarding Greeley's election as ''something
disastrous" It would be an irreparable
disaster 70 them, as, for that matter, would
be the election Of Adaps, or Groesbeck, or
almost any one who has been named-ex-
cent Grant. 1t would be formal notice
to quit; a warning that their time was up;
in fact, il would be rainy day come In very
truth. No wonder that they are for Grant
enthusiastically. They have good reason
to be.
