RADICAL DEllhQUehCIES.
"When Rogues Fall Out Honest
Men Come by their own"

The President claimed in his mes
sage that all the defaulters under his
administration had been subject to
rigorous prosecution and punish
ment. Senator Morton reiterated
the same statement in the Senate,
but when pressed to the wall could
only cite one case where prosecution
and punishment had followed Off
cial defalcation. He was not cir
cumscribed as to the number Of de-
faulters. This list is far too long,
and the amounts too great for the
Senator to be embarrassed in that
direction. The Democratic National
Committee at Washington are engag-
ed in making up book, which will
give full list, as far rs the facts can
be obtained, of the Government plum
derers and the amount stolen. The
following. in tho absence Of the book
alluded to, will satiate the public ap-
petite until further facts are revealed
