NEPUTISM.

i"Grant's Nepotism." No 'Libersl
speech would be complete without
it and we have yet to hear Of one
that omits it. Mr.. Geo. w Jnlian
said at Spiceland: s'The Presi-
dent regards the patronage OF his
Office as family perquisite." Ju-
lian's Radical which seems to fear
neither God or man has done its
full share in keeping up the howl
on this subjset. Now we propose
to bring this charge of nepotism
little nearer home, even at the risk
Of being charged by our own dear
friend with betraying our "sneak-
ing nature by prying into the pri-
vate affairs of Mr.. Julian
We End the following list Of
relatives to have been helped to
Office by the aid of Geo. w. Ju-
lian. ESQ @

trict, one Of the most lucrative
and important Offices in his gift.

bis brother, Hon. j. B. Julian, for

vice Judge White deceased, dur
ing Mr.. Lincoln's administrator

brother, was again urged upon

| lian.
This, we believe is only partial
list. OF the merits of the appoint
ees and those sought to be secur
ed "soft place" we have but little
to say. One or more of them we
highly approve of, while in several
instances We suppose the recipients
Of favor had 10 merit except re-
lationship above that of the cnm
mon herd, and were appointed
merely because our honorable NJ
c. believed the 'public patronage
within his control was personal
perquisite.'
Gen. Grant has about 10000
(Julian says 60 .000) Offices in his
contlo oil and has bestowed but nine
of theE on relations. counting I
brother of his wife's brother.in
law and second or third cousin
of Mrs. Grant and two postmas
ters, first elected by the people
among that number.
It is estimated that Mr.. Julial
had the distribution of Virtual con
troll or near 200 offices and gives
IL of them to his relatives. Grants
nepotism" has induced him to be
stow upon his relatives one ottic.
in 8.S88, Julian's nepolism more
than one in II.
Grants per cent. of nepotIsn
.00Gl.
Julian's per cent. 81
All the complaint We have tt
make in the premises is that thu
Hon. George w. Julian and Iii
blow hard Sancho Panza have no
common discretion enough to re
frain rom throwing stooes while
they reside in such exceedingly frai
glass tenemeDis.
l cannot conceive how any on,
who periled his life for the preser
walton OF the Union under Gen
