We would most respectfully
inform Isaac Morris that we are
not the apologist Of Lewis D..
Campbell, or any other member
of Congress- that pocketed the
salary steal. We do not know
whether Nj. Campbell done so
or not, we do know however,t that
he voted against it, and we know
further that there is quite a diff
ference between having money
voted into your pocket against
your action, and sitting dow. and
deliberately for two or three
years, feecing the tax payers out
of hundreds of dollars, and then
undertaking to cover up the fraud
and peculation by changing ft-
ures aud defacing the county rec
ords. We care not whether the
thief be a Democrat or a Repub-
lican, our opposition would be
the same against keeping him in
public position, and We think that
Isaac Morris should be the last
man to allude to the Morrow case
in this after the coulse he
pursued aud the verdict of the
people against him. No, M.
Morris, we do not propose to sup
port any man who vas connected
with the salary robbery, or amy
other public plumber or pecula-
ton as you have d, ne, and are
now doing, in the Case of the
great salary robber, President
Grant.

There is n little law of Con-
gress regulating the army, which
we suppose President Grant con-
sidered did not apply to his fam
lily
Article 7-(Arpointments on
staff. paragraph 36)-An officer
shall not fill any staff appoint
mont or other situation the du-
ties of which will detail him
from his company. regiment, or
corps until he has served at least
three years with his regiment or
corps; nor shall any officer (aids-
de camp excepted) SO remain de-
tached longer than four years.
This did not prevent the ap-
pointment of the Presidents son
upon the staff of the Lieutenant
General. The army regulations,
It is to be understood, we suppose,
do not apply to the personal
wishes of favorite generals or the
promotion OF a Presidents son.

LEwIspURe O.. May 18th 1873


Hon. james n. Garfield has
written a long letter in reply to
the resolution OF a Republican
Convention of Trumbull county,
asking him to resign his seat in
Congress for voting for the sala>
ry steal. MIR. Garfield can't see
it in that light, aud refuses to
throw up a place which is now
worth $500 a year. In his reply
he very naturally wants to know
why the Trumbull county Re-
pnblicans don't ask Grant to re-
sign also. He puts this questions:
off the delegates believe the
retroactive salary clause is so in
famous that I ought to resign for
voting for the appropriation bill
to which it was attached, will they
follow out their logic and insist
tia the President ought to resign
for signing it? My vote did not
make it a law. His signature
did"
1t is perhaps unnecessary to
remark that Mr.. Garfield still
pauses for a reply.

it so arranged that nothing short
of a special appropriation act Of
Congress could get it out OF the
United States Treasury. They
opposed this Salary steal in all
it's stages from beginning to
end; aud true to this just feeling
of opposition. they resolved M
mediatrly upon the. passage of
the bill and lis approval by Pres
ident Grant, to refuse to take
even one dollar of that which
was retroactive. We had al ali
ding faith that Senator Thurman
would do this thing, and we are
glad to be assured that in this
matter Senator Sherman iilustra-
ted the am manhood.
Senator Thurman does what
his Judgment prompts III du'y

As will be seen by tho returns

vote is very meagrc one, aud in
dicates lamen,able apathy on the
part OF our people. We have no
means OF knowing at present how
this apathy has effected our candi-
date, but we fear that if there has
been any opposition in the other
counties composing this district, he
is defeated. We sincerely hope that
such is not the case, bu, if II is, the
people Of Mississippi county will
have no one to blame but them
selves.
