CySARIsI vs.. VANDALISM.

pebble flung from the stripllngs
sling against the giants forehead
I. is only too evidently the purpose
of the third estate of the Republic,
The conspiring hosts Of the Bohemia
of Journalism, to create popular
dis:rust of all public men who will
not acknowledge and make due rec
oc-ition of its power. The process
is as simple as it is subtitle. Cor
rup,ibility or political Atheism are
assumed as a postula.e. and the su-
perstructure of detraction and invec-
tive is moulded and built with an
ardent, delft and expert hand De
traction is an art, like law pleading !;
and one Of its simplest elementary
principles is that the scar left upon
even an innocent mans character Is
never obliserated nor forgotten The
effectiveness of an accusation rather
gains than loses by its Indebtedness
An inuenio is oftentimes more po-
tent than a direct Indictment. An
obscure and ill-defined epithet car
ries an extrinsic force which Is q
combination Of inuendo and mystl-
tication. Just ROW there is not one
frank and unabashed champion OF
Republicanism not one outspoken
friend of the Administration, whose
reputation has not been wounded by
these Bohemian conspirators. What's
worse, their hue and cry has had the
effect of intimidating and misleading
a certain class of Republicans.
Those unsseadfast, uuthinking per-
sons are fondly blind to the glaring
truth that these ouslaughts from
Bohemia are levelled at the more
conspicuous representatives OF the
Republican party-made for no
other possible reason than to prepare
the public mind for some one other
than Republican candidate for the
Presidency in 1874. The conspiracy
is against the Republican organiza-
ton and the sappers and the miners
have been set a. work, first OF all,
IN break down the Conklings and
Buffers and Carpenters and Grants
of the party. 1t is amazing with
what a serenity and composure the
mas. of mankind accept and move
into and occupy a ready built fabric
If personal detraction without even
as much as thinking to inspect the
foundations upon which it is reared.
The Sacramento Union quotes
Grants letter to the New York
Brokers and then, having ingenious
" distorted its meaning. proceeds
to hang upon his effigy the patched
and seam-whitened toga OF Cesar
ism. The ceremony is none the less
bewildering to the unthinkins mind
from being duly tinseled in the
cheap classicism of the cyclopedias.
Doubtless it happened that when
Attiila sought to fire the Hungarian
heart. and sent his emr1issaries to
incite the Vandals to cooperative ac-
ton against the fair lands OF Italy
h, beloved stoutly in depreciation
OF Cesarism It was, with him,
ANYTHING to despoil the Peninsula
and demolish the power OF Rome.
It was the native-born savage in
stinct of hatred of law and order.
The determination of the Bohemians
is to find fault with Grant because
he represents the head of the Re-
publican party. Grant firmly and
wisely declines to violate an explicit
proyision of law in order to ease
the embarrassments Of the New York
City Banks. Therefore he is guilty
of Casarism. He writes q letter to
the over-importunate bankers (who
have. all along. had their eyes on
that $4,000. 600 of Treasury re-
seryes) and gives them to under
