TRAITORS and Copperheads."

IS A cotemporaryl justly observes that
Governor Noyes presents the pitiable
and contemptible spectacle of Gov
ernor. of the third State in the Union
denouncing one-half of the citizens
whom he governs as "traitors" and
cooper heads There is no worse
denagoguery extatt than that which
attempts to fasten upon any portion
of our citizens the stigma of oppfo-
brium because of any peculiar belief
which they may have in reference to
the affairs of government. Dropping
all fallacious high-sounding words, all
fourishing of trumpets, what are the
voters of the United States striving
to effect by their votes? Those who
act nnderstandingly are, or shotild Be.
placing their votes and Influence
where they con nscientiousfy believe
the most can be effected for the. good
of the greatest number. We are all
striving to effect the same end, good
government. How Justly, then, does
our cotemporary observe upon the
pitiable and contemptible spectacle
presented by Gov. Noyes in inpugning
the motives Of those who form so
nearly one-half of the people of Ohio
that they may be in the majority this
fall. His iranting and raFfng show
him to be the worst kind of a denla-
gogue, and it is altogether probable
that he viii be returned to Hamilton
county this fall to fix up his indexes.
His tstwaddle" will not go down with
the people. ~, ''''5

Renrasentativ.s Rad,eal..


The Christian statesmen who lead
the party of great moral ideas in the
West seem this year to be presenting
an unusually large quantity of dirty
linen at the public pump. The leader
of the party in Illinois appears before
the courts as defendant in a suit
wherein gambling and breach of
faith are alleged against him. The
journalistic representative of the
party In the Northwest has been con-
7icted IN the courts of financial prac-
tices which, in plain English amount
to direct sWindling. An Indian. De-.
partment fraud has been unearthed
in Minnesota, through which the
Chippewas have been robbed of half
a million dollars, which amount has
been conveyed into the pockets OF the
st. Paul ring. Last of all comes into
court a Republican newspaper and
declares that the defaulting Collector
Harper did not spend the $4,000
which he took from the Government
upon women norsIose it in gambling
Especulations, but used the money in
furthering the aims of the Radical
leaders in, Illinois. Harper gave more
than a years salary in an attempt TO
secure Mr.. Cullom's nomination and
return to Congress. He furnished
the funds for Eogan's Senatorial corr
test. Last fall he gave good deal
more than a years salary to bring
about the triumph of Grant and
EOglesby in Illinois, in Illinois, and in
the winter advanced the money
whereWith Oglesby defeated Trnm-
bull. The Jacksonville Sentinel lays
the defalcations at the door of the
party managers, and its allegations
have been confirmed. The Republic
can press has not dared to ldisprOve
or deny them, and the investigation
has been stopped as soon as the
amount stolen has been discovered.
To have gone further would mani.
testify have been dangerous. @ b 81
How the people of the West will
receive these disclosures of direct
robberies, superadded to the indirect
tariff steals, remains to be seen. The
Radical leaders of Illinois are indict-
ed in the high court of public opin-l
ion for having received stolen money!
knowing the same to have. been
stolen and TO be really the property
of. the United States. Outside of
politics such practice would be COM
sidered theft and the Grand Jury
would take eognizance of it. Il What
ever the farmers of Mr.. Grants State
are "going to do about it" ultimately
we cannot say. Their first duty is to
make up the deficit caused in the
Treasury by the thefts of Mr.. Grants
creature, made to secure the election.
of Mr.. Grant. Six hundred thou
sand bushels of corn will do this, and
this is only equivalent to the .confis-l
cation of the crops ON ninety -four
farms of 160 acres .each.-Wo Wortd. 'f'e

THANKS to the zeal of Senators Nor
ton and Pratt, those untiring advo-
Gates of "retrenehment, reform, and
economy"-the watchwords, by the
way, as the reader may not be aware,
of the Republican lparty-the City Of
Evansville, Ind, is IN a fair way to
realize the happy thought of a "great
big house and nobody living in it. q
In the last hours of the.last Congress
in the Deficiency bill, where It had no
business to be, and in spite of the rec
commentators of committees and the
protests ofmenlbers, an appropriation
of 100000 was secured by the enter
prise of these two Senators t'For the
sspurcIiase Of site and to commence tile
CONSTRUCTION of a brick building at
"Evansville, Ind, to be used as GUS
"toIn house, courthouse, post office,
'tand for other government Offices
In advocating his little bill Mr.. Pratt
said that the people of the place had
subscribed S22, 600 TO purchase, the
site for the Evansville Custom house !;
that it was a building much needed,
as Evansville was o. place of great:
commercial importance, and besides
being a manufacturing town It had
'qltite an import trade" Mr.. Morton
likewise pleaded the public necessity
for this appropriation, saying of Ey-,
ansville is q. hohrishfng city. n
is a port Of entry RHdef the laac, and
has been for seeefqf gears. Now,
the total value of, imported goods re-
sceived at the Evansville Custom house
in the. nine months ending March 81,
1878, was $321i The new. custom
house. when built is to cost not less
than 100000, and when it is. built the
seat of the customs at Evansville, win
be in q fair way to embodY the con-
ception of Miss Lucy Lucket's pocket,

and found every seat full, and every
body delighted at the splendid scenes
I in that magic circle, 40 which boy
hoods eyes turned with supreme
rapture. No vacant seat was left for
us, and with few others we wander
ed through the different menagerie
and museum tents. Here, for the first
| time, we saw a mighty brute of vast
proportions, with eyes scarcely larger
than nickel, hide over an inch in
thickness, whose weight reached near
lly four thousand pounds, and who
was jocosely described by one of tie
! lecturers as forty thousand dollars
eOorth Of black TstaocerOs. Here, toey
we beheld the fiendish eyes OF the
horned horse, and IN an adjoining
cage the meek and innocent gazelle.
The eland and the harte-beste were
there; the polar bear and kangaroo,
and all the air was filed with the rich
music of q thousand beautiful plum
aged birds. Lions and tigers froWned
on us from all quarters, and fierce
looking foreign brutes hurled a groan
at US as we passed them by in peace

curiosities, which, as the writers say,

Space prevents an enumeration of

to say Mr.. Forepaugh has collected

THE Radicals of this region must
surely be pretty hard pressed when
they tfot Rev. Gen, Hon. James a..
Garfield, whom they have for some
years past been proclaiming as one
Of the biggest guns in their party,
round the country from town to town
and into the school districts to make
stump speeches. When they do this
and then talk about how easeIy they
are going to carry the State, it looks
a little as though they were whistling
to keep their courage up. But then
this pious patriot must be afforded an
opportunity to clear up his record on
the salary grab. ..a

Are you in favor5 Of repeal of the
law called the salary steal ?
Having assisted by your vote to
pass the law increasing President
Grants salary, and, believing, as you
say you do, that it was inexpedient to
pass such a law at the time At aDas
passed, will you use your personal
influence TO get General Grant to
place his 100000 extra pay to the
credit of the conscience fund?
There are Representatives and SEN
ators in Congress who are above sus-

with the Credit Mobilier, and against
whom no charge is made of5faxoring
the 'Hsalary steal," are there not? 1t

Representative referred to, why have
you deemed it necessary to so often
rise and explain? You saw fit to ex-
plain-for what purpose? Was it not
to remove suspicion ? If so, you were
not above suspicion. Not being above
suspicion, nor only of approving but
of advocating doctrines to which the
