A SHABBY CLAIM.-The Radical or.
gans, and other hackers Of the State
administration, are ,glorifying each
other, because something over twelve
hundred thousand dollars of the State
debt has been cancelled, as per his Ex-
cellcncy's Proclamation. The sum fell
considerably short Of the promise Of
the campaign pronunciamentos, but
the Republican papers do not fail ia
claim II as a financial achievement
When ii is remembered that tho money
in tho sinking fund is tho accrction Of
taxes which cannot be diverted from
that fund, and that the provision for
the disposition Of these taxes was made
by Democratic administration and
confirmed by constitutional sanction,
II detracts somewhat IRON the financial
merit Of the agents, who pay the debt
OF the state because they cannot do
otherwise. Gov. Hartranft and his
administration are entitled to as much
credit for the transit of Venus rs they
are for the payments made on the
State debt. IN. - II .,,,....

The Elk Democrat does not seem to be
aware that an election of this kind is
pending in this State but has declared
most emphatically for the reelection Of
Mr.. Stockton, in New Jersey. He is
a good man, and we hope the Democrat
will have influence enough in the

Democrat is also opposed to Freling-
huysen, but silent as to Cameron
However, we take it for granted that
he does not love him.

OBTTUARY-"ONE BY ONE THE
ROSES FALL"

The New York Republic, the admin
istration journal, which was started a
few months since, suspended publica-
ton last Monday. The Buffalo Courier
says its founders believed that the peo-
ple were indissolubly welded to the
Republican party and would in due
time be ripe for the acceptance of the
"third term The elections of the Sd
of November were a political apo
calypso to these men and all who
thought with them. 1t has taken a
few weeks for the revelation to inter
pret itself to their minds, but the pro
cess is now complete. They see that
there is no support for Grant organ,
pure and simple, in New York city,
and they wisely resolved to abandon
the field.
In writing the brief obituary of the
Republic, let us do it justice. In its
columns admirable editorial work was
done and great news gathering energy
manifested Its zeal and ingenuity in
manipulating southern news, and in
otherwise manufacturing party senti-
ment, would have made its fortune a
few years ago. But the "outrage
mill" is no longer paying business.
The tide of popular sentiment has
turned. There is no more soil in
which Grant organs can flourish
Henceforth the administration has no
newspapers outside of Washington,
with the possible exception of the Gem
p,ercidi Of this city, which will reliably
dance to its piping. The death of the
Republic is more than the decrease Of a
newspaper enterprise. II means the
disappearance of q political sentiment.
"Truly loyal" partisanship dies with
it. II is the funeral of Grantism Of
which we are called to witness the
celebration. As for the dcfunct organ
whose fall signalizes the greater dc
cadence, its epitaph is that Of the
proverbal untimcly birth

House Of Representatives, a law pro
hibiting Senators and members Of Con
gress from appearing as counsel for
claimants against the government
This act will certainly meet with pop
ular favor and II Is TO bc hoped the
Senate will pass II without delay. Mr..
beck had fortified himself with the
facts In several cases in which both
Senator Conklin and General Butler
appear in an unfavorablc position. BY
the record of the Court held in Can
andaigua, Il Is shown that senator
iConklin was counsel for the Now York
Central Railroad, prosecuted o suit
against the Government, aud obtained
a verdict Of over 5000, 900 from d Judge
who, according to Mr. Beck, was ap-
pointed through bis (Mr Conlslin'A)

Ter, Mr. Beck has obtained official
copies Of the record in a Washington
court in what are known as the Far.

The inquest chosen by the Coroner
of New York to inquire into the death
Of two burglars, rendered the follow

ment to the Coroner, who read it aloud
I'VE End that the man known as William Mosb-
er and the man known as Joseph Douglas, came
to their deaths from the effects Of gun and pistol
shot wounds, on the morning Of the l4th Of De-
cember, 1874, on the premises Of Judge Charles
II. Van Brunt, At Bay Ridge, L. J., between the
hours Of ~ and 8 o'clock That said wounds
were inflicted BY firearms, fired BY the hands Of
J. Holmes Van Brunt, William Scott, Albert Van
Brunt, and Herman Frank, in sslf-defenoe. AMI
we, the jurors, further find that the killing Of the
deceased In the manner set forth was perfectly
justiaable, and We commend the act Of their de-
Tending their lives and property In such eour-
ageous manner and under such trying circum-
Coroner Jones, after theverdict, said ;
"Gentlemen, fully concur with you
in your conclusions In fact, cannot
see how you could have found other
wise. return to you the thanks Of
the country for the able and efficient
manner in which you have discharged
your duties"
Douglass dying declaration was that
he and Mosher had abducted Charley
Ross, but failed to tell where he could
be found. He said, "Mosher knows"
but Mosher was killed instantly. The
shooting of those two burglars in New
York, and the confession Of the former,
asagain brought Charley Ross to the
surface. Tho detectives and newspa.
per are full of reports, surmiscs, and
theories. The deeply grieved family
have their wounds freshly opened by
the late terrible affair at Bay Ridge
and its consequences. The public sym
pathy with the family Of Mr.. Ross is
unabated. 1t is a sad case We trust
yet consolation will come out of ii, and
joy will once more take up its abode
in that household.

THE FREEDMANS CASH.

We do not dcsignedly use the word
''nigger" in any slang sense, but 1t
comes so aptly just now in this con
ncction that the only excuse for the
word is in its appropriateness The
late exposure Of the "Frcedman's Saw
ings and Trust Company" its utter
bankruptcy, the almost total loss of
the funds placed in it by the deposi-
tors, the hopelessness Of the crash,
causes us really to pity those "wards
ofthe nation who have been 80 wrct-
cdly cheated.
The Radicals have used up the 'nig-
ger" that is what we wished to say,
in the plainest Saxon, in the trust and
confidence game.
The poor negroes, believing that the
Radical party was their real friends,
put their money in this institution on
the faith Of tho honesty Of the sup
portcrs Of the lamentcd Lincoln, and
now, when the dcpositors want it back
again, the cash, like Lincoln, have both
gone out Of sight. ~
1t is a shame. 1t is a disgrace that
the Radicals should cheat the poor,
ignorant, con6ding, loyal negro, the
