All the scandals ever brought to light would
not do the harm to the party that will be done
by retaining this monstrosity, and the i'm
parchment of the Judge would be q political
publication that would indicate to the country
more interested in its good repute than in the
success of its disgraced adherents.
Senator Carpenters exposure of the Louisi-
ana history in the Senate yesterday indicates
the real nature of those judicial proceedings
upon which the President now rests the illegal
acts committed by his authority. The Senator S
declaration of the need for On election in the
oppressed State did not go beyond the facts.
If, as reported hitherto, Senator Morton has
now abandoned the ground even on which he
urged that Pinchback, having his credentials
from Governor regularly chosen by the
people, had primd tdcie claim to seat, he
can scarcely raise his voice in favor OF the
enormous offence against popular liberty ;
and il is known that every other member Of
the committee that had the Louisiana
difficulties before it is against admit
ting Pinchback, and denies the legiti.
macy of the power that now rules in
that State. There is little doubt therefore,
but that the Senate will reject Pinchback, and
in 80 doing it will practically reject the Kellogg
government Who then will sustain itp Only

PoUGHkEEPsIE, Oct. 80. 1874.
The political canvass In this district progresses
very slowly and very quietly; in fact all the move-
ments on both sides are being conducted In the
most secret manner. There is hardly any doubt
but that the scenes which were enacted in this
Congressional district two years ago, when John
Il. Ketcham and J. y. Whitehouse were oppo.
nents, Will be again enacted this fall though not
so boldly and openly, IN consequence or tho
influence OF the reform movement which
was inaugurated at Claverack, Columbia
county, and which looks to the arrest and
imprisonment OF any person detected In

DIX ON NATIONAL FINANCE.

Letter to President Grant Urging tho
Veto OF tho Scheme or Imitation.
During the excitement produced by the action
of Congress last winter In authorizing the imitation
OF the currency Governor John A. Dix wrote the
following letter to the PRESIDENT
STATE OF NEW YORK, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
ALBANY March 80, 1874. J
MY DEAR SIR--I am very much concerned on
account OF the action Of Congress on the currency
question; and cannot lorbear to express to you
my earnest hope that you Will. by the interposi-
tion OF your veto prevent the disastrous conse-
quences which must result from any further
increase OF the paper circulation.
Money can now be borrowed in the city OF New
York on the best security at four and five per
cent interest. ! believe l speak within bounds
when say that one-half OF the paper currency OF
the country Is absorbed by stock and real estate
speculatons. Every addition to 1t will inevitably
run into the same channels and only serve to
multiply and aggravate prevailing evils. The
act,on OF the Senate sustaining the action OF the
House Of Representatives has already degraded
legal tender notes below the standard OF specie
from one to two per cent more than before; and
II the maximum OF four hundred millions pro-
posed by Congress Is reached by further Issues
am confident the measure Will bring on within
the next two years revulson, which will be fatal
to your administration and ruinous to the In
dustrlal interests Of the country, II not to the
public credit. Irrespective Of such a national
calamity, should greatly deplore that
you. who as sincerely think have
done more than any other living man
to preserve the Union, should, by failing to
exercise the constitutional power which the peo-
pie have con0ded to you for their protection,
allow them to be made the victims OF fatal policy
and the government to be involved in deep ana
indelible reproach.
1t is under these painful Impressions that take
the liberty OF writing to you and Of entreating You
with all the earnestness which it Is possible to In.
fuse into personal appeal, not Co give your con.
sent to any imitation OF the currency at q time
when every consideration OF the public interest
and safety demands its contraction. l am, dear
sir. with sincere regard, yours,
HIS Excellency U. 8. GRANT.

being summoned to surrender, and that
churches and monuments and other works of
