One would suppose that the New
York Tribune would, at least, if it
had lost all consistency, and if it
must give itselfup wholly to'lying,
make tho thing look plausible, and
not so glazing that no democrat
would swallow i Here is speci-
nen, that gives US credit for hold
ing Grant Basket Meeting in
or city, on Sunday, 18th inst:
"The enthusiasm for Grant in
Indiana can not truthfully be de-
scribed as great. At Grant basket
meeting at Richmond en- the 18th
inst, only Eve hundred people were
in attendance, Notwithstanding that
Wilson, Wade, Curry, Pratt, sew
eral big snakes, some glass blow
ere, an Albino girl, and a two
legged horse were included among
the attractions Of the occasion"
When such bare-faced lying takes
place in the New York Tribune,
what better can you expect from
the two Democratic organs here
the Herald and the Radical, whose
editors "clothe themselves with lies
as with a garment"

MORTON IN RICHMOND.

For the first time, on Saturday night,
Lyceum Hall was filed to OVERLOOKING,
and not less than q thousand persons
could not get in. We have never heard
Senator Morton so inspired as he was on

with such power. We do rot wonder
that the Confederate Greeley Democracy

The people echo the sentim eats uttered
by Senator Morton, and are determined
never to entrust that party with power
again, that has proved destructive to the

HENDRICKS AND HALL.

In 1868 one Charles W. Hsli
was arrested on charge Of swind-
ling the Government-in certain
extensive contracts, and was put
upon his trial before a military
court martial. After a long trial,
in which he was defended by able
council, he was found guilty by
tine court, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for six months, and
to pay q fine of $4,000. The SEN
tence was 40 follows:
'.And does therefore sentence
him, Charles w. Hall, to pay to
the Government of the United
States fine Of ten thousand dol
lars end to be imprisoned at such
place 40 the Commanding General
Of this department shall direct for
the period Of six months, the i'm
prisonment to date from, the day
0farrest Of the said C. w. Hall by
the United Statss authorities, and
ifsaid fine lie not paid at the ex-
piration of said imprisonment, to
be imprisoned until said fine is
paid" $50
Hall Immediately employed
Thomas A. Hendricks to procure
his release. After long-continued
efforts, Mr.. Hendricks finally wor-
ried President Lincoln into par
doning the fellow. The pardoned
convict came to Indianapolis and
purchased a controlling interest in
the Sentinel. and for a fe~ years
devoted himself to the dissemina-
ton Of Democracy and heightened
morality. When Andrew johnson
came into power, Hall applied to
Mr.. Hendricks, then United States
Senator, to procure him q Govern.
ment appointment, and, through
the powerful influence of the man
who had got him out of the peni>
Tertiary, he was appointed to 9
position in the New York Custom
House. All the explanations and

tration three diplomatic triumphs
have been accomplished Of un-
precedented magnitude: L The
American principles for the guilds
ance of neutrals have been &C.
knowledged by Great Britain, and
their ultimate incorporation in
International law has been secur-
ed.
2. Large claims of a character
never before settled, except by

arbitration.
3. Great Britain has been
brought to extend to the United

example of q kindly and pacific

Another Lie Nailed.

"Gift taking" has been one OF
the charges raised against General
Grant. Public thieves and swind-
lers who have been. driven from
office by an honest President now
take the stump to denounce him
for "gift taking" Let the people
look into the antecedents of these
Liberal reformers" who sit
in judgment on Genera Grant:
Nine out of ten of these who pro-
TESS to have been Republicans will
be found to bear the chalk marks
I. c. on their backs. Like the
shaky mules and horses or war
times, they have been inspected
and condemned" by General
Grant. It has been retailed q
thousand times, through the press
and from the stump, that the cot
tage owned by General Grant 1T
Long Branch was given to him by
Tom Murphy, the former Collect
er at the Port of New York. This
SANDER, like others o: the same
character, was passed unnoticed
by the President. He knew that
sooner or later, it would come to
grief. Here is the nail that pins
it to the wall. Will our liberal
friends who have published the
lie have the honesty to give this
letter equal publicity:

SIR: In report of a speech re-
Gently made by you at Ithaca 1
read that speaking of the Presi-
nent of the United States, you
said: "He now revels in Long
Branch, in cottage given him by
Thomas Murphy"
Now sir this oft-repeated state
ment is false. I did not give the
President his house, nor contribute
a cent toward its purchase, aad so
far as I know or believe, be pur-
chased and paid for it with his
own money.
Assuming you to be gentle
man, you will retrac: this state
ment as publicly as you uttered
it. Respectfully yours,

NEPOTISM.

General Grant has been arraigned by Sum-
ner and other disappOiuted Liberalites Is
"the greatest nepotist Of the age" To show
how ground!ess the charge is we give an au-
thentica;ed list of all the relatives of the
President or his wife now holding office IN.

Frederick Grant, Lieutenant United States
Army.
FIT. Dent, Brigadier-G United States

Frederick Grant, the Presidents son, was
student at West Point long before his father
became President. General Dent is the Pres

. commission in the army. Grant himself
graduated from West Point. With these two
officials General Grant has nothing more to

appointed By Andrew johnson to the office
he now holds. NJ. j. Cramer is a brother in

Simpson, Bishop Jayne, and others. Orlando
Il. Ross, Presidents cousin, was appointed
by the Secretary of the Treasury to clerk

The President knew nothing of the appoint

johnson is also very distant relative
having married third cousin of Il
President. Both of these gentlemen wer

"Camp Meeting was rather thinly attended
on Sunday."-Julian's Radical, Aug. 70.
As Isaac was there, it il supposed from
this that he missook the gathering on the
camp ground for Grant meeting, and hence
his ''A,n.1;e" report. BIZ number Of indi-
viduals who were present, we learn that the
attendance was as large if not larger than
last year. There were about 5000 tickets
sold for the camp ground at our depot, and
the number Of vehicles of all kinds on the
ground doubled any previous year.
