GRANTS LOUISIANA BAND.-Says the
Pittsburgh Post. We believe wo havo
emitted to speak Of the ridiculous fail
uro OF Grants governor In Louisiana
TO convict Gen. De Blanc, who headed
a party OF white men al st. Martins
in resstancet to Kellogg's blackguards; !;
but when the U. s. troops appeared
on the stage ho declined fight and
permitted them to capture him. Ills
object was fully accomplished, his in
tention being to prove 10 the world
that the whites were not in arms TO
oppose the United States, but simply
to resist Kellogg's assumption of au-
thority. Mr.. Kellogg is rather a
sharp sort of rascal, but he has not
yet succeeded in provoking a war of
races, with the U. ). Army thrown in
as a helper to enable the blacks to
massacre the white people of Louisi-
ana. He can get one OF his tools to
make falso affidavit upon which TO
base the arrest Of citizen, but when
tho matter comes up for full invcsti-
CATION, it won't hold water. Now
does not all this tend to prove that II
tho residents of that State were left
without interference, Kellogg, with
his robber crew of carpct.b t.baggers,
would not be able to hold place Tor a
single day? 1t is beyond n peradven-
ture that the majority Of the people
are with M'Encry.

CoMPoUNDISG CRIME.--Another big
bond robbery felon has been com
pounded. On Saturday week the
public were informed that The robbers
who broke into the vaults of the Wa
terford bank, New York, and plum
dored it Of 100000 in bonds, have
been settled with-tho robbers being
allowed to retain thirty. five per cent.
of the plumber, over 100000, and to
be held free from prosecution-pre-
cisely what the bond robbers wanted.
This sort of thing makes bank rob.
berries and bond robberies the most
Mcrdtiue and safest business going
The thieves invest no capital they
incur no risks, and the returns are
enormous. Just so long as the sys.
tenn Of "compounding" is practiccd,
bank robberies and bond robbcries
will flourish, bank cashiers and watch
men will walk daily and watch night
Iy in imminent peril Of their lives
Tho whole system is n premium to the
audacious and murderous scoundrels
who pursue that part of tho thieves
profession

iEORGE B. GOODLANDER,
More SALARY Steal.

We are really astonished at the
brazcn, criminal impotence Of the
major portion of our public men. Tho
highly offensive manner by which the
late Congress raised the salary of its
members was an indignity to the whole
nation and amounts to nothing more
nor less than $4,000 theft to every
member who pockets the same. The
Presidents conduct is still worse. He
steals 5000, while a Congressman
only gets $1,000.
The late attempt in our Legislature
to commit similar crime, by adding
fifty per cent. to the salary of each
member, is still fresh in the memory
of every citizen. From the class of
men who have been sent to Congress
and the Legislature, for number Of
years past, but little else could bc ex-
pccted. But when the members of
our Constitutional Convention COM
nit the same crime, We aro.doubly
astonished. We had supposed that
the majority OF that body were gen.
.lcmen, who had not lost their sense
of honor, and wcro less morcenary
than the salary graLbcrs Indicated
But we were mistaken. The major
portion of that body are worse than
even Congress. The members not
only doubled their salary, which was
fixed at 81 900 before they were elect
cd, but they went $500 better, fixing
it at 81, 800. This act, on the part Of
tho members, compels us TO withdraw
all the respect we had for that body.
Two Of the members from this Sen
atoiial district, Messrs. Hall and Fin
ney, made it convenient to dodge the
question, while Mr.. Aughenbaugh
voted manfully for tho grab, leaving
ex-Gov. Bigler alone to record his
vote against the theft. In effect three
of the four members from this district
favored this infamous measure. Con
gress and the Pennsylvania Legisla-
lure have lately done some very mean
acts, but it was left to our Con-
stitutional Convention to still do a
mcaner one. Men who force them.
selves into body like this, for the
sake of'the salary only, deserve polit-
ical damnation.

The PosTAL-CAnD NUISANCE. Many

wonder, and then pass into the rut of

really a huge job for some Washing

STRANGE INDIGNATION. The Boston
Post exposes the hypocrisy Of the res
olutions adopted by the recent Radl
cal convention in Ohio, and says 81
Ir any single point will illustrate
the really corrugated character Of
these resolutions, the handling Of the
salary grab will. The Ohio Repubf-
cans derounce that transaction with
out measure, and relieve their con-
sciences by demanding the instant re.
peal of the law; yet they repeat their
stale and warm professions Of implicit
confidence in President Grant, but for
whose signature, as their own General
Garfield testifics, the scandal could
never have been given the force Of u
law. Confidence in Grant-borror for
the back-pay plumber; and Grant lob

the amount of one hundred thousand

and denounce the one without whose
efforts and official signature the shame
might have been suppressed.

state freasirer Of Minnesota, Radi.
cal, has been removed from his office
by the Senate of .hc State, after full
bearing, on articles of impeachment.
His crime was installing public for
private funds, The history of this
case is curious as illustrating Radical
morals Of the Credit Mobilier stamp
Three years ago Emile Munich was
Treasurer of Minnesota. IIo took
$4,000 Of State funds to speculate
in stocks. He lost. No effort was
made TO recover the money due the
State, and Munich served out his term
of Office, His successor was William
Seeger, his father-in-law, and Deputy
Treasurer. Sceger covered up the
tracks of Munich, and when the Ex-
amining Committee of the Legislature
went 10 count the funds, the bonds
men had loaned enough to cover tho
deficiency, which was returned to
them as soon as the inspectors had
departed. But Scegor Travelled too
far in the same direction the Demo
Gratis got upon his heels, and ran him
down by an impeachment. They now
mean TO prosecute the bondsmen Of
both Munich and Seeger, and then
more important revelations may DO

The WAR OVER The Modoc war
has been brought to an end, and the
whole country will no doubt expert
ence decided feeling of relief over
the news that the willy chief, Captain
Jack; who has hitherto bafiled all the
efforts of the United States troops to
capture him, surrendered himself and
his whole army, consisting Of tico
pdrriorS, fre Squdus and Seren small
children, to General Davis. This
glorious event took place last Sunday,
near Clear Lake, Oregon, and pro
ducrd intense excitement In the camp
of the American army. Captain Jack
is represented as refusing to speak to
any one, and as being completely
prostrated at this inglorious termina.

now is, what is TO be done with Cap
tain Jack and the rest of the Modoc
braves who had previously surren-
dercd ? The execution Of defenseless
prisoners Of war would create q feel
ing of horror and would meet with
general condemnation. A more salts.

The DIFFERENCE. Says the New
York Sun; In the year 1864, when
the rebellion was going on and all the
public Offices in Washington required
an enormous number of clerks, the
contingent expenses of tho Treasury
Department were $4,000.
In the year 1879, after we had been
for seven years On peace footing,
and when the necessary expenses Of
tho Treasury Department were not
only diminished by the cessation Of
the war but by the great reduction
which had been made in the public
debt. that same virinous department
paid out for its contingent expenses

REvERsED.-Judge Pearson, of the
Dauphin county court, in March last,
refused quite number of licenses up
on the ground that the grand jury had
requested the court 10 not grant them.
His act produced considerable discus
sion in the counties which had decided
against local option. The judge last
week reversed himself and granted
quite number of licenses to those he
refused in March. 1t is a pity that a
Judge who has sat on the bench for
twenty-five years should be led by a
very ordinary grand jury.

cause he was greedy TO pocket the

because he thought the members ought

A few days ago we had an authori-
tative announcement that Simon Cam.
cron was heavily on the war path
after Collector Comly's scalp, and that
he had inveiglod tho President into a
fishing excursion In order to accom-.
plish his purpose. Grant was not OK
actly aware Of the snare set for him ;
and being eager TO escape from pro-
posed visitation Of Presbyterian min.
isters to the White House, he was
easily cntraped. The great Whine.
bego cheiflain, however, bad as he is,
has little save personal grievances to
engage his yindictiyc attention; but
he has an ally, and still moro cool
blooded one, in the leprous Morton, OF
Indiana, who exercises q still moro
baneful influence upon national affairs.
Should this fanatical leader succeed
in controlling the President in all
things, tho fate of States would, indeed,
hang upon slender thread. A cor.
respondent of the New York World,
in allusion to tho mission OF General
Dick Taylor, last Winter, in tho in
tcrest of the Louisiana troubles, re-
lates some very damaging facts, which
are received with much credence in
Washington circles. 1t will be- re-
mbered that General Taylor had
several interviews with the President
on Louisiana matters, and that he
expressed himself as encouraged by
the result. The statement how made
is that Gen. Taylor's account of the
situation was by the Presidents re-
quest, repeated before the Cabinet
that it nrodnced snch an imp~assian
that it was determined that the Gov
ernment had no alternative but to re-
cognizc McEnery, that tho President
prepared a Congress announcing this
fact that Senator Morton, hearing Of
it, Immediately went to the White
House, protested against any such
action, and as the result of his per-
suasion the President changed his
message and determined to adhere to
Kellogg. Tho evidence In favor Of
this statement is spch that IL would
seem as If some official notice must bc
taken ofit.-LancdSter Mteliigencer.
