GRANTS duplicity has received another
exposure. The Hon. David Clarkson, OF
Hartford, Conn, who was, it seems, the
friend and patron of a colored cadet at West
Point, named Smith, says Grants action in
the case was disingenuous, in ostensibly IA
voring, for political effect, the keeping of
Smith at the Academy. yet privately trying
to have him dismissed. The charge of du-
plicity in the matter is made very strongly
aud circumstantially by Mr.. Clarkson, who
is a respectable witness and an old Repub-
ican. This Is one of the many disa greea-
bic questions Of personal conduct in which
Gen. Grant seems to have the ill-fortune to
involve himself. We state it, as it now
stands.

RADICAL ROBBERY OF THE
EOVTH


Since the close of the war until very re-
Gently, the Southern State governments
have been under the control Of the Radical
carpet-baggers, with here and there a native
Radical, who was worse, if possible, than
the carpet=bagger. The owners Of proper
ty-those who have the real interest of the
respective States at heart, have had little or
nothing to say. They have been disfran-
chised, and from a studied refusal of am
nesty, have been trodden under foot by the
thieves and robbers. 1t is well TO keep be-
fore the people the enormous sums which
have been stolen from the Southern people.
They were poor enough when the war
closed. From the following summary it
will be seen that the debt of the ten South
ern States, accumulated since the war, ex-
eeeds the total indebtedness of the twenty
seven other States by over eighty millions
of dollars. 81

The condition O. these Southern States
"blasted to. barrenness by the flight Of

In a recent speech, Col. Grosveror, of Mis-

York Tribune comments on taem as fol-

"'FiguNes are tiresomet' says Mr.. Gros-

disagree with him. Those figures have the
morbid interest Of q nightmare romance.
The ruin is SO enormous as 10 rivet the at

aggregate pablic debt in ten States of over

tain of debt before, but here are whole

Never was a more systematic greed gratifed

such loyalty the condition Of their admission

Our county elections are now over.
They have doubtless produced many heart
burnings and enkindled many animosities
among tlose Of the same political faith. II
is to be hoped that they viii soon be for
gotten and that at least the De Iocracy win
be found united and ready to move on the
host Of pampered public plurderers that
sit in high places, feed on the honest earn
ings Of the poor, speculate ON the Govern
ment bounty to the MANNED, the orphaned
and the widowed, and in every possible
manner corrupt the public morals and dis
grace the national character.
But TO succeed, we must have organize
ton in the State, in each Congressional
district, in each Senatorial district, in each
county, and in every municipal ward and
civil district. That the Grant party in
Tennessee are fully aroused, fully organ
lied, and fully bent on snatching here and
there, through our Reorganization, a crumb
of comfort for the military master they
serve, none can doubt. 1t should be well
understood and never for moment forgot
ten that, in attempting the disor-
ganization of the Democracy, the Grant
patty will have efficient aid from
those no ninal Greeley men who appear to
work more assiduously for the disorganiza-
ton Of The Democracy than for the defeat
Of Grant. There are few, and especially
here In Tennessee, who seem to think that
the present popular upheaval in favor of the
Cincinnati Baltimore ticket is a God-send
for the purpose of breaking up the Demo
icparty. They forget that the first thing
to do is to beat Grant, and that to achieve
success in that behalf it will be necessary
to bring into requisition all the powers Of
organization and discipline both in the
Democratic and in the Liberal Republican
ranks. We speak both for Democratic or
ganization and Liberal Republican organi.
zation. Each should be thorough and eff
fective. If there are Republicans in Ten
nessee who can be induced to believe thai
the public welfare demands that peace and
good will should be established rather thar
that military despotism should prevail
popular, practical and efficient Liberal
Republican Committees should begin the
work. If there are doubling, hesitating
Democrats, then there should be like Dem.
ocratic Committees. Together they should
in November next bring every man who is
not Gran: oficeholder in fact or expec
fancy to the polls and secure his vote for
the candidates who regard all power as /
trust for the public good, and not means
of promoting selfish ends and putting money
in personal purses. ORGANIZE.
