est degree of honest pride for his country,
who would not blush at beholding the.loW
condition Of q. S. Grant. Think of it. His
only boon companion is Tom Murphy, who
can neither read nor write, and whose for
tune was acquired in. cheating the govern
ment cut Of money for shoddy caps. He is
a low caucus loafer, who pays his i'll gotten
gain to obtain the service Of ''roughs" and
'pimps," who, at his bidding, attend con-
ventions and caucuses and the polls to inter
fere wrongfully and criminally in the peo-
PIES affairs, and to carry elections for such
men as Grant BY fraud.
This man Murphy is here at the Branch,
daily in league with Grant, when they are
not on spree together on one of the steam
boats Of the government, either belonging
to the revenue service under Collector Ar

quartermaster's boat, in charge of Ingalls,;
or United States naval cutter, from the

government is brought into requisition by

Corrupt use Of PnbIIc Money.

This is special to the Louisville Courier
journal:
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The friends of the
administration feel the necessity of putting
forth the most strenuous efforts for success,
especially in the approaching State cleo
tiOns; and to carry the States they will stop
at nothing Money is to be used lavishly
wherever and whenever necessary; and in
the first place it is to be poured out in North
Carolina. Hon. James B. Beck recently
made personal examination at the treas
ury of the accounts of the United States
marshal of North Carolina, and it is found
that this officer drew -$I05,000 tren the
treasury during the last sixty days, and
$4,000 of that sum within few weeks.
When this fact is taken in connection with
the desperate efforts of the administration
to carry the North Carolina election by any
means, however shameless, and the protuse
expenditure of money there which is now
notorious, the explanation of these enor-
nous drafts is at once furnished. Every
department ofthe government is prostituted
to partisan purposes, and the treasury is
audaciOusly plundered under false pre-
lenses

Confusion in Louisiat a.

This first rate notice of Louisiana Gus.
tomhouse politicians is from the New York
Nation, an administration journal:
If in North Carolina there begin to be APP
pearances of something certain, in Louis.
lana confusion is worse cOnfOunded, and
nobody seems to know what has happened,
is happening, or is going to happen to
Democrats, Reform Democrats, WarmOth
men, Casey men, Pinchback Republicans,
or anybody else Colonel George w. Car
ter, we see, an experienced politician,
comes out against the nomination of Mr..
w. p. Kellogg for Governor by the Casey
or CustOmhouse Republicans, and says he
can not support any such ticket. Indeed,
it is anything but nice ticket, even as
tickets go. Valued correspondents deceive
MS profoundly, or it is in fact ticket
worthy the support of Mr.. FentOn and Mr..
Tweed. Mr.. w. p. Kellogg runs for Gov
ernor in order that he may be sent back to
the United States Senate, of which body he
is now an ornament; or is not an ornament.
To this end he makes an agreement with
various people, and, among others, with Mr..
G. G.. Antoine, of Caddo, Of whom it is said
that, being bought and sold in the late
Legislature, he, on one occasion, brought
the very large price of $4,000, which is
'ruling high for New Orleans. Another
party to the gubernatorial transaction is
Mr. o. G. Blandin recently tax collector,
and of such sort that up to this time only
$50 receipts have been produced In cases
where he had returned the taxpayer as de-
hnquent. For Attorney General on this
ticket we have Mr. A. p. Field, the gentle
man who assaulted Judge Kelley In Wash
ington One would say that all "the great
organizing ability of Mr.. Casey"-as the
Times has it-and the services of more rev
enue cutters than one, would be requisite
to carry the candidates through. Or,
rather one would feel sure of it were it not
that the most prominent Liberal Repub-
llcan is Mr.. Warmoth. What, now, is one
to wish for louisiana Her politics were a
simpler matter when the question was be-
tween tae New Orleans rioter and the
negro voter. On the whole, the Custom
house seems to be the stablest thing there.

The Chicago Tribune Of Thursday says

The Baltimore convention yesterday
struck the note that finds an echo in the
hearts Of the American people. The cleo
trio fash that announced the nomination of
Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown as
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency received instant answer in the
fash and roar of cannon, and the enthusi-
astic utterances of the legion Of thinking
voters who yearn for honest government,
and desire to place the seal Of Econdemna-
ton on the maladministration that has
reigned in Washington for the past three
years. Already we are told that the clerks
in the various departments at the capital
are asking what they shall do to be saved,
and this feeling will become more and more
the Cincinnati force develops its actual
proportions

the opening, point of order was raised
that the club, not having adjourned last
Saturday night, the business must be pro.

broken of, The chair sustained the point,
and the following preamble and resolutions
were taken up and enthusiastically adopt

Customhouse employees to put out the lights
and create disturbance:
WHEREAS, James III. Ingraham and S. B.
Packard, delegates to the late State conyen-
ton at Baton Rouge, by their traitOrous
conduct at said convention, have proved
themselves recreant to the instructions con-
fded to their care by a too trusting cOnstit
uency, and in view of their glazing treaeh-
cry and falsity to all principles and tradi-
tOns of the Republican party, and it also
appearing that the said j. III. Ingraham and
S. b. Packard have labored more for their
own individual advancement than for the
good of the Republican party or their con-
stituency; therefore, be it
ReSOLUed, That we, the members of the
Third Ward Mother Club, in regular meet
log assembled, do hereby repudiate, de
nounce and in no manner recognize OF
e0untenanee the fraitorous, infamous and
dshonorable conduct or actions of said
James III. Ingraham and s. B. Packard
delegates in and to aforesaid convention,
as in no wise expressing the feelings OF
political sentiments af this club.
ResOlUed, That inasmuch. as the said
Ingraham and Packard are prominent
aspirants to positions of trust and honor
in this community, through the assistance
of our votes; be it further
ResOtBed, That this club do hereby de.
clare the said James II. Ingraham and S. b
Packard to be entirely unworthy of our
suffrage or support in their aspirations for
office or political advancements; be it fur
ther
ResQlved That we, the members of the
Third Ward Mother Club, will not Fecog
nize the nomination plade by the Packard
convention, and we do hereby denOunce
Mr.. Kellogg as a traitor to the Republican
party, and not worthy of his nomination.
The vote on the adoption Of the preamble
and resolutions was Sc yeas to 43 nays.
A motion to reconsider was made, and a
motion to lay that motion on the table was
carried, 50 that Mr.. Kellogg was not only
repudiated by the Third Ward Republican
Club, but he must stay repudiated.
The club then adjourned

Owing to the Baltimore convention,
which meets in day or so, speculation is
rife as to whether '"Our Horace" will really
be the successful nominee or not, Great
numbers of politicians are leaving the city
to-day for Baltimore, and it will evidently
be warm work there during the days of the
convention. Tie following is the latest
'pOesy" ground out By the Greeley machine;

From Chappaqua,s cool stream,
And at Ulysses softly laughs,
Who Stakes his thirst with steam.

Many are careless in the keeping of the
feet. If they wash them once week they
think they are doing well. They do not
consider that the largest pores are located
in the bottom of the foot, and that copiOus
perspiration is discharged through the
pores. They wear stockings from the be-
ginning to the end Of the week without
change, which become perfectly saturated
with perspiration. Ill health Is generated
by such treatment of the feet The pores
are not repellants but absorbents, and this
Precipitation, to a greater or less extent, is
taken back into the system. The feet
should be- washed every day with pure
water only, as well as the armpits. Stock
lngs should not be worn more than day
or two at time They may be worn one
day, and then aired and summed, and worn
another day, if necessary. Many persons
suffer from tender or sore feet simply from
peglecting this preeaution, especially the
humber classes, who exercise their feet

appointed a new lot, turning honest and

ages to throw the responsibility Of his ap-
pointment on Senator HiteheOek's shoul-
