mittee that the letter was forgery, and
his clerk, a Mr.. Luce, swore that Legate
had offered him 81, 600 to forge such q
letter, he being able to initiate the Sem
ator's handwriting SO perfectly that no
person could recognize any difference.
but that he refused. Legate was thus
shown by his own confession to be a
corrzPsSonist, and, by Mr.. Luce's evi-
ssenee, to be guilty of attempted suborn-
alton of forgery. and by Senator Pome-
roy's statement, to be q forger. The
worst part of this thoroughly bad busi-
ness is thst the President was fully in
formed as to Legate's character by the
Hon. Selucius Gar6elde, Delegate from
Washington Territory, and entreated
not to outrage the people of that Terri
tory by sending such q man to act as
their Governor.

Ex-GovERNoR LEGATE.-The New York
Tribune gives the following facts and
comments on the late appointment and
rejection of Governor for Washington
Territory:
The appointment of James F. Legate.
as Governor of Washington Territory,
is forcible illustration of the wide diff
ference which exists between the theory
and practice of the Administration and
its friends under the new system of Civil
Service Reform. Mr.. Legate, at the
time of his appointment, was well known
to be under a cloud in Kansas, where he
has figured for some years as an active
and not particularly scrupulous local
politician, on account of charges pend
ing against him and now being investi-
gated of having bribed certain members
of the Legislature of that State to vote
for Senator Caldwell. It would have
been only decent if the Kansas Senators
who obtained for him his Governorship
had waited until he had cleared himself
from these charges before hurrying him
off to the Pacific Coast with Presiden-
tial appointment in his pocket. But
this recent affair in Kansas is not all
there is against him. 1t was proven
by his own confession. and by abundant
testimony taken by a committee of the
House in the XLth Congress, that, while
holding an appointment as a special
mail agent, he was in Washington dur
ing the Impeachment trial, endeavorine
te corrupt Senators by bribes to vote
against the conviction of johnson. H.

In the course Of an article on the next
Presidential election The Tribune says:
"But the Tribune's good wishes did
not, any more than Gen. Grants pro
scription of Liberals, save the Missouri
Regulars from overwhelming defeat in
1870; and the portents of coming disas-
ter are such that it would be treason to
ignore them. While our lifelong ad-
versaries appear 10 be acting, or prepar-
ing to act, with wisdom and polite lib
erality, those who have the running of
the regular Republican machine seem to
us bent on blindly, madly rushing on
disaster. To instance but two points
they are blundering sadly in their hig-
Cling, grudging, mean-souled dealing
with the subject Of Amnesty, and in
their attempts to brand every one as
anti-Republican who does not favor the
denomination of Gen. Grant.
But We further object to the renomi-
nation of Gen. Grant that he is mani
festly a weak candidate, there being very
many Republicans who will oppose him
if renominated. That it should be so in
this State, and in any other where his
heavy hand has been laid upon one
"wing of the party which elected him,
is too plain to need proof. There are
hundreds of active, prominent, infuen-
tial Republicans who have been expelled
from office by him, or his instruments,
and who cannot in the nature of things,
work for his reelection as they would
work for one who. had never treated
them as enemies. Who doubts that it is
so in other States? Who believes that
he could carry Louisiana after the Cat
ling gun performances of last Summer,
engineered in part by the brother-in-law
who holds the best Federal Office in that
State? We speak to sensible men. and
demand an intelligent judgment on the
unGoubted facts.
We state facts we'll known to intelli-
gent politicians. We do not say that
Gen. Grant will not, if nominated, be
elected; we do not say that we shall not
support him; we do say that his nomi-
nation renders doubtful a Republican
triumph which, with a new candidate.
publicly pledged to the One Term prin-
ciple, would be morally certain. And
this is so palpable that intelligent,
thoughtful Republicans, who esteem
the cause more than any man, are bound
to consider it.

M1ssoUR1.-The Liberal Republican
Mass Convention met at jefferson City.
1t was one of the largest ever assembled
in the State, nearly every county being
represented. Among the resolutions
adopted were the following:
Resolved, That we, the Liberal Re
publIeans of Missouri, faithful now as
were in the dark days Of the war to the
vital principles ef true kepublicanism,
by no act or word will endanger the
rightful sovereignty of the Union, eman-
cipation, equality of civil rights, or en-
reimbursement. To those established
facts nov embedded in the Constitution,
we claim the loyalty of all gOSd eiti-
Zens.
Resolved, That true Republicanism
makes it not the less our duty to expose
corruption, denounce the usurpation of
power, and work for reforms necessary
for the pabIlc welfare. The times de-
mand an uprising Of honest citizens to
sweep from power men who prostitute
the name of our honored party to selfish
interests. We therefore invite all Re-
dublicans who desire the reform set forth
to meet in National Mass Convention at
the City of Cincinnati on the first Mon
day of May next, at noon, there to take.
such action as our convictions of duty
and public exlgencies may require.

SAD AfrAIR.-A correspondent in
karthaus informs us that the house of William
Mchaes, together with all It's contents, was burn
cd to the ground on Thursday night. The in
mates barely escaped with their lives, as it was,
Mr.. aud Mrs. Michacls, who are aged persons,
being burned about the face and arms-thc old
lady seriously. They were awakened about l2
o'clock at night by the sound of the FIRE, and in
stant fight was all that was left them, Mr.. MI
chaels throwing grand sou Of his, a lad about I.
years old, out of the second story window and
Jumping out himself after him. Before the alarm
could be given, the house and its contents wore
destroyed. This on this aged couple, who are over
90 years of age is fearful calamity, and one that
should call forth the spontaneous libcraity of the
people, and particularly of those of the immcdi
ate vicinity. Mr. John Il. Vaught kindly offered
them the half Of his house, where they will, as
soon as they recover sufficiently from their burns
commence housekeeping, and it is to be hoped
that their friends and neighbors will kindly fur
nish them with anything they may have to spare
in the way of household goods or eatables. Says
our correspondent "wbcn visited the place and
looked on the crisped faces and hands Of these
two old persons, | thought that hard was the
hcart and soulless the man who would not give
something to put them once more in comfortable
circumstances"
