AN OMNIBUS SILENCE,

A few Republican conventions in North
EN- States have condemned the "s2lary
steal," whereby large number of members
Of the last Congress pocketed five thousand
dollars extra pay, but not q word about the
leader Of the gang, Gen. Grant, who lobbied
for and made the bill law, and for which
be is to igobble a square extra hundred
thousand dollars. And many Northern
men have pretended to demand repeal of
the law which allows the additional COM
pensation to members of the forty-third
Congress. The following dispatch tells the
story Of the sincerity of all these demands
and professions:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The action of
the Lynchburg Convention in refusing to
adopt resolution condemning the Con-
gressional salary steal is az item Of proof
of what has been frequently ssserted-that
those who control the Radical party in the
South are disposed to bolster up that iniqui-
ty. Not sirgle Republican member from
any State under negro Radical control in
the South has returned his portion of the
steal, and they will everywhere induce their
conventions to at least keep silent on the
SUBJECT. OF those who receive the money
Radicals alone have had the sudacity to de-
fend the bill in speech and in convention.

THE BALM IN sp1RrTuALlsm

Spiritualism, it is pleasant to see, offers
some consolation to disappointed lovers.
Mrs. Laura Cuppa Smith, a devotee of the
ism, bears this testimony on the subject:
"The lover of my girlhood now walks the
viewless causeways of the sir, and mas
much IS be was cultured, lof y-souled and
lsrge-besrted, he doubtless loves and is be-
loved by many TAR and queeuly woman
in that 'land Of light and song;' yet
he finds lime 10 return to his turbulent
scenes and battle my toil-worn spirits in
the deep waters of his passionate and in
tense affection, and those chords in my in
most being that first responded to his touch
remaining innate in present of all others,
thrill and vibrate as of yore, in an ecstasy
of rapture vhen swept by his spirit touch"
Laura says that "Mr. s." knows all
about it, and don't mid it. Well, that's
nice, to have husband who does not care
who you love. He is very convenient
piece CT household furniture. But what
does L2ura's lover who ''walBs in view
less causeways of the air" say about it {?
Is be, too, one of the dent cares? If, so,
happy Laura

REPUBLICAN FRAUDS IN IOWA.

Representative Wilson, of Iowa, is credit
ed with having said, in a pithy, pointed
manner, on a recent occasion, in response
to remark about the corruption and rob-
berry prevalent among Republican office
holders, thai "the people are so well used
them" Whether be made the remark or
not, IL appears to be peculiarly true as TO
Iowa, for according to journal published in
that State, nearly every Treasurer the State
has had since the Republican party came
into power has tamrered with the funds of
the State. Gold has been distracted from
the Treasury aud sold when at high pre-
MUM and the advance pockete by Repub-
ican officials, and the boxes which contain
ed the coin filed with sand to keep up the
appearance of the presence of the gold.
School lands, swamp lands, and the school
fund have been operated with, even 10 the
extent Of forging names to certificates of
swamp lands to raise the wherewith to cover
the money distracted from the Treasury.
Not one Of the kleptomaniac treasurers
have been punished. On the contrary,
they live in luxury upon their gains, and
more than one Of them has represented the
Radical party in State or County Ccnven-
tions. 1t used 10 be said that stealing was
not so bad, when you were not caught at
it. But even when Radical official is
caught with the "swag" in his pocket it
does not ipjure bis standing in the parry.
1t rather aids him, as he is looked upon by
the "Ring' as ''shsrp fellow, one of u.s."
These are the things which have been made
80 common by the Radical party, that, in
the language of Mr.. Wilson "the public do
not mind them" 1t is not to be wondered
that the farmers OF that State are marshall
ing and organizing their oranges to shake
off the rotten and corrupt Republican dy-
nasty which has been so long squandering
their SUBSTANCE.

GRAET'S CHAPLAIN.


The Hartford Times publishes an extract
from private letter, written at sea on the
voyage from San Francisco to Japan. The
date is "Steamer Japan, June2, 1873" The
writer says: awe have two ministers on
board, and the ship still floats. We have
DR.. Newman, the Chaplain of the United
States Senate, and pastor of President
Grants church. he is appointed Inspec-
tor of consuls' in China and Japan, and to
go around the world at government ex-
pepse. His arduous duties are to visit each
consulate on his way, eat and drink a
couple Of Gays with each, and pass on
thus saving all hotel bills. For these trying
services he draws $1,000 year, and travel
ing expenses. His wife, who is with him,
draws from government 81, 900 year more,
and her travelling expenses, as his private
secretary. He has eighteen months leave
of absence from his post as Chaplain of the
Senate, and draws his salary all tie time; and
l suppose he draws his salary as pastor of
his church in Washington. Who would
not be Minister of the Gospel to Ulysses
/? How different is all this worldly profit
and pleasure from the character and lot of
the honest minister of my boyhood, with
his $500! But, suppose we must allow
something for the wear and tear of con-
science ~ in a court minister to Ulysses

AFTER over two months trial of the new
Prohibitory law, the Police Commissioners
have come to the conclusion that there are
still some intoxicating liquors sold in Bos-
ton, the fact being that the sales are about
as great and made alb Mt as openly as ever.
TIE Commissioners have, therefore, lost
confidence in the State constables on duty
in Suffolk and have requested them to re-
sign at once. When the new batch is ap-
pointed, the Commissioners have deter

MOTION AND THE SALARY
SrEAL,''

The Cincinnati Times, a Republican jour
nal, speaking of Senator Morton's connec-
ton with the "salary ste'l," says:
"We wish, therefore, to say explicitly
and on the most authentic information, that
Senator Morton never has, in thought,
word or deed, given his consent to the pas
sage Of the Infamous salSry-grab bill, th It
be never has aud never viii touch one cent
Of the money sought to be filched from the
Treasury by it, and that his state ments to
this effect have been made so frequently
aud 80 unreservedly to all who have ap-
preached him on the subject that further
repetition of the charge that he favors the
grab will amount simply TO display of ma
icious ignorance"
The thing for Senator Morton to do, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, is to cover his
back pay into the Treasury. That would
be the work OF an honest mau. The dogs
would never trouble it there. The question
is, Why doesn't Morton place his share OF
the steal where none of the Morton family
will be able to lay HANDS on it?
