THE investigation in the McClme-Gray
contested election in Philadelphia Is devel-
oping an amount Of rascality and ballot
box stufing that is putting New York to
the blush. The Pittsburg Post says that it
is convinced, from the testimony in the
McClure-Gray case, that the Democracy OF
Pennsylvania have been swindled out Of the
State elections by friends in Philadelphia
It adds:
eve believe that Asa Packer was hon
estly elected Governor by larger majority
than that accorded to Gov. Geary. We
believe that Philadelphia is to-day, and has
been for years, Democratic by from eight
to ten thousand majority, and we believe
still further that Grants friends in that city,
the thieves, FOUNDERS and repeaters, have
so controlled elections there as to give just
what ma iority was needed to cary the city
and State"

THE Cincinnati Commercial makes this
telling point: "There never was more elab-
crate preparation for white-washinS than
the Administration Senators have made in
their committee TO look after tie French
arms. 1t was their business as good paIu-
sans to satisfy the Germans that the admin
istration was not guilty oFcomplicity with
the Remington job of selling arms to
France, and preparing cartridges to so along
with the guns. The deliberate, persistent
refusal to allow Carl Schurz place on the
committee, will coufra the grave suspicious
excited during the long debate. If Morton,
Conkling and Harlan think that their
speeches have satisfied The country on this
subject, they are deluded.'

AMNESTY.

We have had many inquiries as to the
status Of the amnesty bills in Congress.
The general amnesty bill was defeated in
the Senate, with but little or no hope Of a
reconsideration of that vote. Two or
three bills to extend amnesty to particular
individuals have passed the House, and one
is now before the House Judiciary Com
mittee in which there are several thousand
persons named. Our members of Congress
desire all who wish their political disabili-
ties removed, if they have not forwarded
their applications for that purpose, to DO so
Immediately.

EryV HAHTpSHIRE.

The election in New Hampshire, which
takes place on Tuesday, the 18th inst, is
looked forward to by the Grant men with
good deal Of anxiety, as it is the first gun
in the Presidential campaign. The impor-
lance which the friends of Grant attach to
the result of this election may be inferred
from the exertions they are making to car
nv the State. Senator Wilson and ether
Radicals were sent there to make speeches
in the interest of Grant, and Wilson has
come back to Washington not very san
guine. The following are some of the ma
iorities which the Radicals have obtained in
New Hampshire:
1850 For President. ............. l1,0oS
1868 For President. go. ......... 6,S5I
1869 For Governor. ...... ...... S,tto
| 1870 For Governor. ......,.,..... 1'+Oo
Last year the Democratic candidate for
Governor had plurality of S07 over the
Radical candidate. 1t will thus be observ-
ed that there has been a gradual decrease
in the Radical msjorities until the scale
turned last year, and tLere was majority
against of the Radicals of 1,045, the Demo
cratic candidate having plurality ofSO7 over
his Radical competitor, and he was elected
by the Legislature. The New York Tribune
admits that sin the early stages of the
canvass the Democrats stood the better
chance of winning. Their Governor is pop
ulaf; both liquor and temperance operate
to the disadvantage of the Republicans; the
Labor Reform movement is directed by
leaders in sympathy, if not in secret under
standing, with the Democrats; and the I'M
wise and unintended nomination of Presi-
dent Grant for reelection by the Republic
can State Convention was calculated to in
cite alienation and division" But it thinks
that because the Democrats in that State
are not in favor Of protection they will be
! defeated. We shall see.

WHEN Sickles came home from Spain it
was given out that he would Immediately
return after brief visit. The New York
World insisted that he was sent home and
would not be allowed to return. This turns
out TO be true. His Interference in Spanish
politics is made the pretext for informing
the Grant administration that his continued
presence would not be agreeable at Madrid.
The truth is, he is not fit to represent the

THE letter carriers in Philadelphia have
been instructed that if there is no response
within thirty seconds aftez ringing the
door-ben, they are to take the letter with
them and repeat the same thing on their
next round. The reason for allowing this
short time for servant to get to the door,
it is said, is that a cousin of Postmaster
General Creswell in Philadelphia is inter
ested in a patent letter-box, and the post
master of that place has advised citizens to
provide such receptacles for their mail,

THE wAY rae wONEY Co.'s

The New York Times boasts that Sin |
thirty-five months President Grant has re- |
duced the national debt s2s7, 25ss $40, insur-
ing an annual saving to the taxpayers, in
interest, ofSl7, sos, 094." BoutweIrs-stste-
ments show all this, and it looks very nice
on paper. But how about thetaxes? Have
they been lightened in the mean time9
Under Grants corrupt administration the
people are directly and indirectly taxed to
an extent that few men who do not give
the subject close study can comprehend or
realize. Hon. Freeman Clarke, ex-Comp-
trollpr Of the Currency and Republican
member of the present Congress from
New York-a man who has made
finance the study and business of his
ife-declares over his own signature in the
columns of the Rochester Democrat, a Rad
ical organ, that "the honest Taxpayers are
now paying upon basis of revenue Of
about nine hundred millions of dollars per
apnum. while not more than half that sum
/ finds its way into the treasury. Statistics
of the manufactures, productions, ETC., of
the country will prove that if the tax to
which they are subjected were fairly collec-
ted, and the same rule applied to our Gus
tom duties, the income of our revenue
would amount to about the sum named
aboye-nine hundred millions of dollars"
Grant had been President thirty-fve months
when the New York Times made the asser-
tion,about reducing the public debt we
have quoted. Let us take the sum Of
money accounted for as paid on the debt
and compare it with the money not &C
counted for as paid by the people upon the
basis Of taxation according TO the Hon.
Freeman Clarke:
Tax, 35 MONTHS. 8, 90 ,OOO,OOI
Paid on the debt, So months. 2oI,Z0o,SIl
To be accounted for. 800. S2,337, IA, 09l
What, pray, has become of this "balance,'
which nearly equals the sum total OF thu
entire national debt? 1t is not Whist Gran
has paid on the debt, but what Grant hai
not paid on the debt, that the people wan
to know. Let the Times and its admins
tration yoke fellows put the account square
~ before the people. Let them state tn
amount that Grant has taken out OF tn
people by taxation, and acknowledged ur
on 'sthe books of the Department." sayin
nothing of the money stolen and otherwis
not accounted for, and show the paymer
on the debt, and then tell what has becom
of the money.
