WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 1875
"a Uessrs. Edh0rs-Having carefully watche
a the strange farce perpetrated on the creduit
sr of the Republican partisan horde of bin
'e fanatics in almost every feature of this unac
e countable Administration, I am as a victim
e induced to report to your valuable journal, a
l. well as others, my views of relief from SOM
OF the worst features Of this mal-administra
9 ton. They seem to be determined to per
: petrate all the extremes in the power of thu
! Government on the suffering people.
! They have taken by irresistible army and
navy force the private property of friend and
: foe alike and refusing legal jurisdiction te
even United States Courts in each State Justly
due the private citizen to determine the
merits OF his claim, they force the sufferer
into the hands Of this radically mad Con-
gress, and keep the just claimant out of his
pay ten or fifteen years, Or more if they
could; and whenever they pretend to pay
anything at ALL they pay only mere apology
for piracy to the one thus savagely robbed.
They can appropriate and squander the peo-
pies money to grade Washington all over,
cementing or paving all the streets or roads
in the District
Some fifty to seventy acres of the Pres-
dents palace lot must be graded up at cost
Of $4,000 or S25, 600, or more, per acre, and
other extravagancies defalcations, frauds and
| extortions too numerous to mention, and
| despotic rule to ram their Republcanism
down everybody's throat with army and navy
force, marks this extraordinary Administra-
tion-and even to question their acts of saw
age robbery and wrongs is a signal
Tor their vengeance and injuries.
Radicalism, or fanaticism, has ALWAYS.
IN power, worn the head of blgotry on
body totally destitute of soul or heart. They
pretend great devotion to the negro, and have
no hesitation to degrade the white man with |
out limits. What do they care for the black |
man, except to get his vote? They rob all |
with extravagant taxation, and it has taken |
the Infatuated crazy people fifteen or twenty
years to find out that they have been ridden.
like Balaa ms ass, by a set of crazy, savage
and unjust Radicals, whose real aim seems to
be to see how much they can rob and fleece
the suffering people-who, like Balaam's ass,
begin to speak, when and after long time
they have been kicked into it.
The talk Of the third term for Grant and
the perpetual meetings of the old army Or
CARNATIONS are not mere Pigments of renin-
lscence. They have a vital significance.
How powerless are the blind, infatuated
people in the hands Of rabble-rousing polti-
Clans against the organized, armed and equip t
ped army and navy and 10000 paid serfs in
official service, under the control of the :
command. G
Now, and for years, the private sufferer has a
dead his just claims in most savage, unjust |
differing under the heavy hand Of cruel
leartless, unjust and unsparing robbery, v

In the midst Of the royal grounds of Fred I

indmill, which Frederick desired to pull a

wsuit about it. The owner meeting with re- b
srses, offered to sell it to the late King, but =.
