The Greeley stumpcrs in North

The Greeley stumpers in North
Carolina; among whom was Doolit-
tie, sought to make capital out Of the
fact that Secretary Boutwell, omitted
to mention in his list of Grant de-
faulters the cases of Grand, who de-
faulted to tho amount Of $l95 900,
aud Estes, $l75,ooo. 1t transpires,
however, that both the rascals were
appointed by Johnson, on the rec
ommcndation of Doolittle, and were
removed by Grant. . ss-'.+

In his recent speech 1T St. Louis,
Carl Shurz made the charge that
while the San Domingo project was
pending he was approached by two
gentlemen holding intimate rela-
tons to the White House, who, pro-
Tossing to speak for tho President,
offered him the dispensation of q
large patronage if he would give
his support to the measure. This
coming to the cars of the President,
he authorized an emphatic and ex-
plicit denial, and a call for the
proofs. Whcrcupon Shurz announ-
ccs Gen. Plcasanton, late Commis-
sioner Of Internal Revenue, as one
of the parties who approached him
and produces from him the follow
ing letter:
NEW YORK, July rs, ~.
Dear General:-Of course have
no objection to your giving my
name to the public. In explanation
to the facts l would say that being
a friend Of the President as well as
of yourself, I desire you should be
on good terms, and yon should I'M
derstand that there was no personal
feeling in the way Of relations mt
tually satisfactory. Your statement
is correct that the President wanted
your support for his San Domingo
scheme, and that you could have
had the patronage Of the Govern
ment for giving it. That was the
distinct impression the Presidents
conversation made upon my mind,
and communicated it to you at the
time. If the President positively
denies having had any such con-
versation, I regret it. l may con-
sole myself with the reflection that
this is the first time that any state
ment Of mine has been questioned,
while the President has had occa-
sion before this to distrust the &C.
curacy of his rccollections.
Truly, yours,
[Signed A. PLEAsANroN.
This raises the question of verac-
lty between the President and
Pleasanton. In order to judge in
diligently upon the issue, the public
should remember that this same
Pleasanton was compelled to resign
his place at the head Of the Internal
Revenue bureau because of outra-
geous and corrupt decisions in the
interest Of the New York Central
Railroad. When these were re-
vcrsed by his superior officer, the
Secretary of the Treasury, he be.
came insubordinate, and undertook
to run the machine and issue orders
on his own hook, and when upon
final appeal to the President the lat
ter sustained the Secretary, Pleas
anton resigned in rage, vowing
revenge. His opportunity has come,
and in the light Of these facts the
country will judge Of his assertions.

OUR CHARLESTON LETTERS.

Notwithstanding the difficulties that
have had to be encountered to get news
from our State Capital, there has been
scarcely day since the meeting OF the
Constitutional Convention and Of the
Legislature that the RsGIsrER has not
contained letters or dispatches furnish
ing important news, proceedings and
debates which took place in these
bodies. Being the only paper in this
section OF the State that did seem to
even attempt to keep its readers and
the public thoroughly posted up in all
that was going on at the Capital, every
body had grown into the habit Of look
ing only to the REGISTER for such
information. The weekly papers
throughout the State have, very proper
", depended almost exclusively upon
the RRGIsrER for their supply OF
Charleston news; and thus it has been
that we have, at Our own cost, furnished
the greater portion Of the people OF the
State with the sayings and doings in
the Convention and the Legislature
And thus it is that the circulation and
importance Of the REGISTER has been
greatly increased within the last few
months.

The spring sun calls up something be-

from the damp earth turbid rivers, stag

Periodic fevers Of various types are now
raging with unusual virulence in various
parts OF the country, and there are COM

emergencyo The answer is simple and to
the point. Strengthen the body. Weak
ness predispnses the system TO disease.

CARL SEIZURE on REFORM

Senator ScHURz, in his late speech in
the Senate, thus spoke for American
citizens OF German birth:
The Germap-Americans love liber-
ty; they are devoted to republican
principles; but let me tell Senators
there is another thing to which they are
no less devoted, and that is honest gov
eminent. Both Senators have taken
the trouble to inform this body that no
man IN this country owns the German
born citizens Of this Republic. That is
most certainly true. and am proud Of
it, for | am one Of them, and am sure
nobody owns me. [Applause.] No,
sir, no man owns the German
American citizens of this country. No
politician owns them, no Senator does;
not even the President Of the United
States; but least OF all are the Ger.
mans OF this country owned by that class
Of politicians who desperately cling to
the skirt OF power through whatever
mire it may drag them. Applause in
the galleries) Least OF all do they
belong to that class Of politicians who
are ready to cover up any abuse, to
justify any wrong, when the discovery,
however useful to the public interest,
might displease the administration or
injure the party. Least Of all do they
belong to those politicians who will
sacrifice truth. and right, and justice,
and honor, and public interest to the
mere advantage OF party. No, sir,
the Germans do not belong to any
body, and I am proud to say so. As
one man they fought the robber-nest Of
