see took place on tia 18th instant. In
the House sixty four members were
present, and in the Senate eighteen mem
bers answered to the call of the roll At
the opening, the Speaker Of the House
made very neat speech, expressing the
hope that their deliberations would not be
married by partisan spirit or political
prejudices, or desire for personal adj
yancement In the Senate, Mr. Earnest,

Arrangement Of the Grant Admins,
tration by Liberal Republicans

In another column of this issue we
contribute space for stirring protest of
the Liberal RsPubl cans Of Kansas
against the present corrupt and scsndR.
lous Grant Administration. 1t sets forth
eOneisely, clearly. and with power the
enormous abuses that exist, and sounds
call, like the blast of trumpet, for re-
form 1t protests against the course pur-
sued by the Radical State Conventions as
they convene, in selecting delegates to
the approaching Radical Convention at
Philadelphia, the plain purpose of which
Is, by thus packing the Convention, to
secure the nomination cf President
Grant for re election, and the perpetual
ton of the corrupt rings that are sappinE
the life blood Of the SatiGn din.
The address will be read with Interest
and encouragement by all who desire re-
fOrn--and who do not desire reform but
they who flourish by its opposite It
will be understood as at once the express
sion and ontgrowth of that spirit of re-
form which is everywhere animatiug the
country, and which is looking forward to
National Regeneration. The cry is uni
Vsrsal, among all classes of men not de-
pendent upon the Administration, nor
interested in its gross abuses, for o stop
70 be put--and that promptly-to the
prevailing corruption, dishonesty and de,
noralization, and that the assumption Of
arbitrary power by the Executive, Legis-
latiVe, or other department of the Cow
crnment, must cease The evils of these
varied and manifold abusss have become
too apparent to longer escape public att
tention, and too grieVious to be patiently
and quietly submitted to, even by the
most pronounced Republicans themselves.
Hence the popular uprisings and popular
manifestoeS against them which sc see
on every hand.
We trust our readers will give the Ad-
dreso a share of their attention, and ac-
cord to its trainers that respect due all
liberal II inded aud honest men, without
thought Of this or that party, or past
prejudiees -.-s5..:
We have now, under the name Of EREE
AMERICAN PToFLs, been chained down
long enough by thieving, tyranical .5esO,
aud it would be a disgrace to US as FKEE-
HRX TO longer consent to be shackled
when we have the strength to tear our"
selves loose. We must make up our
yainds to labor with ALL whose intentions
are honest--to join hand in hand, and
perseyere in this noble work until We
have accomplished a thorough reforna-
ton throughout the whole Union; until
We have taken the control of government
from the present corrupt set of tyrsnts in
power and placed it in the hands Of those
whom zoe kROtc 10 be honest and have
nothing but the good Of the tUhOIe cQuH~
try at heart until we have brought our
country back to condition as pare and
honest as when we first inherited it and
can WnbtushiHgly repeat 70 the world
once more the Declaration Of Independ-
encs"-then, and not until then, viii we
be free and happy, and live with all man
kind in harmony andSprosperity.

During the course of his speech in

having under consideration the bill to
regulate the employment and compsnsa-
ton of clerks, Hon. Fernando Wood, Of
New York, said: --..-.. 80.
1.-THE debts of the reconstructed States
aggregate 1921 $3.50 while the aggr.-
gate. debt of ali the other States, twenty
seven in nsmber, is given by the last OFF,
cial reports as 1908, 49,, $50. The in
crease ia the indebtedness of the recon
structed States from the initiation of the
Congressional scheme of reconstruction
is Sc, 10000 more than the aggregate
indebtedness of all the other States. Il
viii be borne in mind that the debts of
the Southern States contracted from 1861
to 1865 were repudiated by order Of the
Federal Government, so thatjthe increase
shown is altogether due to carpet bag
fnancieFing. --s----.-

An enterprislng citizen of Cincinnati

for the benefit oflcreditors who meet with
difficulty in procuring settlements of their
little bills, and for the accommodation of
his dunning agents he has had construct

letters the legends, protection Agency"
and bad Debts Collected" In this
wagon he placed two burly collectors, one
to drive, and the other to present the bill,
both armed When the wagon stopped
before door crowd was pretty sure to
collect, if the agent did not; and every
body in the neighborhood of the debtor
was made aware that somebody held a
bill against him that he was not disposed
to pay. The scheme appears to have
worked without trouble in Cincinnati J;
but when ITS originator extended his
sphere of operations to Coyington, on the
Kentucky side of the Ohio river, the coils
lector was fined fifty dollars for carrying
concealed weapons, and Immediately gf.
