Pittsburgh convention Of September
18th. 1t is the design to meet IN thu
same city, and try to Guido the first.
A careful count ofthe German political
press has been made by the Republican
committee, and the result shows that on
hundred and nineteen are advocating
Grant, one hundred are supporting Gree
lev, and two Of the ablest Democratic
papers having u very large circulation
are on the fence.

O, IoU mnaCUIAiB!

When we look into the ranks Of the
Liberal-Democratic party, Greatly
nameless party) We are amused to find
many an enthusiastic supporter guilty OF
the same charges brought ont against
prominent men of the Republican party.
With great degree Of solemnity, the
"heroes" of this "nameless party" have
preached against the " ofice-holding,
office-seeking Grant party" Now: facts
have been disclosed which show that af-
ter all, the Cincinnati Baltimore men arc
simply engaged in a scramble for Office.
The purifying movement dwindles into
insigni6cance by the side OF the hope
full prospects they have Of seizing upon
an unlimited amount of Federal patron
age. 1t is found that several former
Republic ans" have sought to indulge in
official luxury very largely and, failing
to a certain degree, have sought new
party by which they can make themselves
rich as we'll as their friends. A correspon-
dent of the St. Louis Daily Globe writes
as follows from Washington:
A partial statement has been made of
the number of recommendations for Of
flee during the present administration
made by Senators Upton, Trumbull,
Schurz and Fenton. The report on the
first three Of the above named does not
show their recommendations in the Trea-
sury Department, where Senator Fenton
alone is credited with sixty-three. Mr..
Upton has made seventy, Trnmbuli
eighty-seven, Schurz ninety-cight, and
FentOn two hundred and eighty-cight.
This includes all, with the exception
made before. Senators Schurz and Fen
ton have been particularly active in ask
ing for foreign appointments, the New
Yorker having made forty-four recon-
mendations and the Missouri Senator
thirty. Mr.. Tipton's relatives wishing
to go abroad appear to have been but
few.

Some years ago Marsh Murdoch, then
of the Burlingame Chronicle, now Of the
Wichita Eagle, nominated Horace Gree
lev for President He don't, however,
give him much comfort these days.
Horace will be one Of the deadest ducks
after election-neither cared tor by the
Democracy nor respected by the Repub.
licans. He should have learned at his
age, that men can not sell themselves to
party without loOsing all former
friends, however faithful and sincere
nav have been their good works in the
mast.

COMPLAINTS ADeVf maj COLI.

Prophets predict the early coming Of
. financial crisis and assign as its cause
several and different reasons. Honest
men and unbiased thinkers can easily
account for it from natural causes, while
designing politicians attribute it, for the
most part, to the present administration.
The New York Tribune, for example,
has frequently assaulted the Secretary OF
the Treasury for keeping gold within
the vaults. One Of the arguments of that
Journal is to hard out the gold, dollar
for dollar, to every conner who presents
the greenbacks. How easy to talk, but
how absurd the policy.
On the first of last month there were
s91, OOO, 900 of gold in the treasury.
ss6, O0O, 900 of this was set apart for the
interest already accrued and unpaid.
49,, 200, 900 belonged TO depositors.
These sums added together make $685.
OOO, 900. The balance then, s23, 0O0, 900,
is the amount held back by the Govern
ment. Is this an unjust policy! We
think not. There must be, as we be-
lieve, always fund on hand to meet the
emergencies that may arise from mo-
mentary crisis or the all-powerfal COM
binations of gold gamblers. The credit
of the Government must remain firm.
Should the Government fail to pay the
interest when demanded, would not the
damage done to the Governments credit
be much more than the amount of. the
gold now idle? 1t would certainly look
50 to every reasonable man.
Those who complain about the gold
reserved certainly do not think of how
little it is, in fact, to meet the crisis that
is likely to arise at any time. tits quite
certain that there is not anything ade-
quate in the national banks or the treas
ury to avert the ruin of q momentary
crisis.
1t may be regarded as fixed fact that
a crisis is liable to come. During the
last year the Governments imports have
exceeded the exports by s5O,OO9, 900.
This balance is to be settled by AN OK
tension OF her credit or gold payment.
The amount of accrued foreign interest
is in the neighborhood of 500, zoos, 900.
This is to be settled in the same way.
There arc more American travellers in
Europe this year than before for many
years; if ever before. 1t is estimated
that at least $50, 600, 900 is spentby them
in Europe. 1t takes gold to pay their
way. These three items added together
make $4,000, 900 spent abroad during
the year which must be paid by ex-
tended credit or American gold. In the
face of these facts most any one can un-
derstand how we may have at any time
a financial crisis growing out of any mo-
mentary public panic. The followers
of the Chappaqua man taking hold OF
the smallest handle will terrify the people
with the alarming dangers" that are
resulting from the policy of the present
administration.

The election in North Carolina takes
place to-day. The canvass has been very
hot on both sides, but there is good
reason to believe that the Republican
candidates will receive several hundred
majority. 1t seems that the negroes are
almost unanimously for Grant and that
il only requires about 3o,0 600 white votes
to give the State to the Republicans.
Whichever party carries the State, will
also gain, we believe, nine electoral
votes in November.

KNOCKING DOWN THEIR PINS.

A pretty excuse it is that you are
twitted by Liberals" that Mostly and
Wise and some other late rebels are sup
porting President Grant for President
instead of Horace Greeley. What does
it signify if they do support the man
who whipped them? 1t means that they
have more confidence in him than in the
man who first apologized for the rebels
and then abused them; who urged the
establishment of two Governments upon
Americas free soil, where one republic
had existed and then berated them that
they dared to seek for disintcgratiOn /;
who first talked hot and then cold to
usit his caprices. The fact is, Cincinnati
swallows Baltimore and Baltimore swal-
lows Cincinnati, while Philadelphia does
no such thing. The Republican party
says, we do not endorse your rebellious
acts or any of your dcfunct principles
of Democracy, but we present our prin-
ciples and men and if they meet your
appreciation, or if in your estimation
they are any better than the opposition,
why take them. The Republican party
makes no trade, compromises no prin-
ciple and is guilty of none but a straight
forward, consistent course. The Lib
erals" be they Republicans Or Demo
Gratis, on the other hand, belle every
past profession of party ties and fealty
to political creed. What is the organi.
cation but movement upon the part OF
the Republican portion to satisfy malig.
nifty and ambition for Office, and an effor,
by the Democracy to break down the
Republican party There is no doubling
that members entered these ranks under
the egis of a reform halluc;nation, but
beyond that not particle o. sincerity
or true merit exists in the -conglomcrate
mass. Most of us have heard before
that stwo wrongs never make right
so the screen of the very " Liberal Re
publicans about portion of the ex-reb
els or Democracy sustaining Grant il
preference to Greeley appears " thin
when the jugglers' trick Of swallowing
each other is taken into account.

rHE ONE uyLoyEIY, S. c. PoxERoY.

Some time since the Atchison Cham
pion noted the arrival home of Senator
S. c. Pomcroy and stated that he should
enter upon the canvas for his reelection.
A gentleman who has recently arrived
from Washington recently informed US
that Pomeroy had his pockets full Of
money and should use his utmost exer-
tons for his reelection. Will the peo-
pie sit tamely down and permit this old
corruptionist to buy his seat anew? We
guess not.
Riley county, in ner Republican con-
vention at Manhattan, formally repudia-
ted S. c. Pomeroy in strong terms by
resolutions. Cherokee and Allen cOun-
ties have followed suit. Saline should
and will we believe, "kecp step to the
music" thus auspiciously commenced.
S. G. POmeroy went into the United
State Senate a poor man, and few re-
latives residing at Atchison were like
wise poor. Now he and they are in af-
fluent circumstances. Did they become
possessed of their wealth by honorable
ways? A pious old deacon of Atchison,
o relative of POmeroy's, whose name has
slipped our memory at this writing, was
fortunate enough to secure the appoint
ment of the position of Government In
spector and made the little old twenty
five hundred dollars out of distillery
on q technical point. W. +. Downs,
general superintendent of the Central
Branch Railroad, is another relative, and
is rich, whereas he was poor twelve
years ago. Who doubts Pomeroy went
into the U. S. Senate for the purpose OF
making money for himself and relatives
and that he made it in unhallowed ways
S. c. Pomeroy's home is in Boston
with his wife. He holds some property
in and about Atchison, as an aristOcra,
would hold country scat ut some scs
shore, to afford him the sport Of run
ming for U. S. Senator. It's joke or
the other ambitious fellows of our State
that we must go to Massachusetts, for on,
u. S. Senator.
Ed Ross was terribly abused because
he voted in the U. S. Senate against the
impeachment of Andy Johnson. Pome
roy voted for impeachment. 1t has beer
charged that Pomeroy offered to sell his
vote to Johnson for forty thousand dol.
lars and We have never seen . dcnia.
from Pomeroy. Ross came ont Of the
Senate poor man, and Pomeroy a rich
man. Developments would seem &c
show that Ross received no money con
slderation for whatever he did. Can
Pomeroy say rs much, and how can he

An Indiana farmer, after trying TO
trap, poison and shoot the rats that
overrun his premises, bought two
goats and gave them the range OF
yards and stables. Within week
every rat emigrated and staid away
until the goats were sold, nearly two
years afterward. when they all came
back. A second edition of goats
were procured and since then not
