This is a pretty fair statement of
the case. What we wish to prove out
of the mouths of republicans is that
Gen. Grant did know of the whisky
ring /, did know that the profits of
the ring were devoted to republican
party purposes, and to his advance
ment; and that he never raised his
voice in protest until Mr.. Bristow,
having exposed the ring, it became
impossible for him to champion it ;
and that even then the prosecutions
were SO managed as to prevent the
two men who could have told the
whole story from t%estifying. The
italics i'll the above extract are ours,
and we wish to call especial attention
to the language. "The president was
made to believe that the money
raised was entirely for party OBJ
~jects." And she maintained intimate
relations unconsciolsly, with leaders
of the ring, who were revenue Off.
GERS" We would like Mr.. Curtis to
reconcile these two statements. He
knew that the money was raised for
party purposes says the first, and he
unconsciously maintained intimate
| relations with the men who raised it
says the second. That is; Gen.
| Grant was a kIave and then a fool.
To use a vulgarism, we must insist
that this is "too thin" Especially
thin as coming from an editor occu-
plying the position that does MI.
Curtis. The truth of the business
is, that Gen. Grant did know what
was going OIL, and though he may
not have received a dollar of the
money himself, and we do not pre-
tend that he did; if what Harper's
Weekly says is true, and the president
knowingly allowed money to be raised
in that way, for ''party objects" he
is as much to blame as if he had indi-
vidually shared in the plumber ; he
has disgraced his high station, and
will have the unenyiable notoriety
of being the first man who has eVer
filled that place and basely allowed
it to be prostituted by a ring OF
thieves.

The Union League has begun the
canvass by a Know Nothing Crusade
against the Vatican. If nothing else
could damn the republican party, its
determination to bring religion into
politics should tRrn every thinking
man from its support. This is a gov
eminent where it is supposed every
man has the right to worship God
according to the dictates of his con-
science, and SO long as the Catholics
do not attempt to interfere with the
religious belief of others, they should
not be attacked for the tenets which
they hold. All such pestiferous agi-
tators as Eugene Lawrence, of New
York, should be frowped down by all
enlightened public opinion. r5..i

1t is surmised that Grant, in his
message, and Bristow. in his report,
will recommend an increase Of taxa
ton. We warn the democrats of the
house that the country demands that
the present rate of taxation shall be
cut down at least one-fourth; and
that the revenue be made sufficient,
by retrenchment and reform in all
governmental departments. The 81
necures must'be abolished; the navy
depar tment overhauled useless army
officers dismissed, and the Indian de-
partment fumigated and purified.
There must be no sham reform, but
clean cut work, that the people can
see and understand. =-aT

This is new style of picCurc now be-
ing produced by VIM. Winter, the artist,
Of this city. These pictures are creating
much interest in all the principal Eastern
and Western cities, being altogether new.
They are unlike photographs, being
raised and beautifully enameled over the
entire surface. soft In tone, but distinct In
the lights and shades. No one who sees
them fails to admire them, or to give the
artist an order. We have been shown n
number of pictures of well-known ladies
and gentlemen of the city. and have no
hesitation in pronOuncing them perfectly
splendid. We would therefore advise all
who take interest in such matters or de
sire pictures. to call upon Mr.. Winter at
his gallery and examine his'work in this
