Some Of our readers may remember the
publication Of letter from Orville L. Grant
to his brother, the President about a year
ago. 1t was an urgent appeal for the re-
moval Of the Supervisor and Collector Of In
ternal Revenue in Chicago, for alleged col
fusion with the whisky ring. Orville not
only made these charges, but most earnestly
recommended the appointment to one of
the places Of James Ayars, Jr., deputy col
lector Of the port. In some unaccount-
able manner the letter got into the
possession Of the Washington cor
respondent Of the Cincinnati Com
Werciai who at once forwarded it
to Cincinnati and had it published. 1t
produced a marked sensation in Chicago.
Oryllle, in a note to the officials he had
made the charge against, made a retraction
Of bis damaging statements. Soon after
wards the Supervisor and Collector found
themselves out Of office. James L. Mclean,
the partner Of Orville Grant in the leather
business, was appointed Collector of the
port, and James Ayars, Jr., was made De
putty Collector. 1t would be hard to say on
what grounds the appointment was made.
Ayars had been a clerk in drugstore, and
was a companion of Mclean. These three
men-Ayars, Grant and Mel ean-are in
separable companions. Mclean gives his
time to the CUstom-hOuse while Orvile
looks after the leather business. The ring,
however, compTehends more members.
Phil. Hayne, United States Commissioner;
/. II. Boutel, Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney, and Tom. II. Keefe, Gus
tom-house Inspector, also belong to it.
These are among the fast men Of fast Chi
CagO, and strange rUmors are afoat concern
ing their official transactions. 1t is charged
against them that they form the iniquitous
whisky ring of Chicago, and that they have
converted the CUstOmhouse of that city into
a den of thieves, not less corrupt because
smaller than the robber gang Of the New
York customhouse. These runors are not
confined to the streets Of Chicago, or to
Democratic organs, but find their way into
the columns of respectable Radical papers.
Sufficient proof accompanies these reports
to show that there is some foundation for
them. At all events, the business commu-
nifty in Chicago would not object to having
the management of their custOmhouse in
vestigated by Congressional committee.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer makes a telling
point in regard to Radical rule. 1t says:
"The aggregate of taxes collected of the
people of New York city for the year 1870,
amounted to S27,4O3, $50, or S29.O8 per
capita, while the aggregate of the taxes of
Boston amounted to S9O5O, 42O, or $50 per
capita, In 1870, Boston was governed by
what is called an honest Republican Ad-
ministration. The same year New York
unfortunately fell into the hands of thieves,
who were chosen by the Democratic Or
ganization. What is the lesson to be gained
from this? Why, simply, that it is less ex-
pensive to be ruled by Democratic HieUeS
than by honest Republicans. The latter
costs each man, woman and child, seven
dollars a year the most. Even the debt of
New York is eighteen dollars less head
than that of Boston"

Summers civil rights bill, which he is trying

says:

init him by law to our prayer-meetings, our
operas, our dancing parties, our free-lunch-

We shall not object to his taking a seat by

for Garrett Davis resolution arraigning
Gen. Grant, which will be offered and passed

copies of the census show that in one State
at least there are more iIiterates in the
