SOME time since The Chicago Tribune charged
Mr.. Carpenter, while member OF the United
states Senate, with acting as counsel for the
whisky ring Of the city OF Milwaukee. To this
Mr.. Carpenter waxed very wrathy, and showed
great Indignation by clustering about generally.
and particularly in writing letter to the man
aging editor of that journal wherein he emphat
cally promised to sue for SANDER az soon as he
couldfnd the time to attend to that little matter
He did not promise to sue until he found the
time, for lie is kept pretty busy just now in de-
Tending the members of that ring. who are
being prosecuted by the Government for their
frauds upon the public revenues.
The Detroit Post rushed to the rescue Of Mr,
Carpenter, and read The Tribune lecture on
its audacity in charging the ex-senator with
improperly acting a. counselor or solicitor for
the whisky ring while he was occupying the
position of L. s. senator, and as such, charged
with the duty Of seeing that no frauds should
be perpehated on the revenues Of the Gov
eminent.
Since Mr.. Carpenters threat, a Tribune cor
respondent has been interviewing the attorneys
who were known to be engaged in behalf Of
the defrauding dlstillers, and elected good
many facts which show pretty clearly that Mr..
Carpenter did just what The Tribune charged
him with doing. in its issue of last Monday
that journal published the result of intervie VS.
with two or three persons who were then, and
still are, attorneys for the defrauding dstlers.
Their admissions are given in their exact Ian
guage, and fully sustain the charge made against
that gentleman.
We apprehend that Mr.. Carpenter will expend
all his wrath in mere buster, and by the time
he gets through defending his scoundrelly
clients he will have concluded that il Will not
be worth while to yattempt to collect anything
from The Tribune as compensation for dam
aged reputation. At any rate it looks at present
as though the proofs of his completely with the
whisky frauds Will so accumulate against him
as TO cause him to desire silence on the part of
the newspaper press, as well as to regret having
| provoked thorough search into his connection
with the frauds while he was holding position
that made it his duty to do all he could to bring
knaves to punishment, receiving good salary
from the public treasury for bis services. This
hue and cry about bringing suits for libel
against newspapers that dare make exposures
OF corruption, is for the purpose OF cowlng
them INTO silence-nothing more.

Tbose persons who suppose the elections in
ob;o and Pennsylvania, last fall, disposed Of
the Imitation Issue, are iabcring under a mis-
apprehension The Rag Money business has in
no wise become absolete nor does it propose to
abandon its schemes Of Imitation. 1t will be
an important element in the Campaign OF 1876,
and will make itself felt. The Democratic
party, as political organization, will adhere to
the doctrine of Specie basis. On the Currency
question they will stand exactly where the Re-
pubhcans stand. aud in their National Platform
declare for sound money. This is foreshadow-
ed by the formation of the Committee on FL
nance by Democratic House OF Representa-
tives-they having placed we'll known hard
money men on that Committee, and that too,
against the protests of the soft money Demo-
Gratis in Congress.
Fully one-half of the Democratic party in
the States OF Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois,
are irreconci, able inhationists, who will not
vote for b. I'd money candidate. There is al
so quite a ong imitation element in the Re-
publican p, r. These two elements are just
now exhib a disposition to combine and
form TIN larty and put candidate OF their
own in the next year on that issue. IL
these eleme. shall chrystalize into a party
organization, | will be considerably strength
ened by the accession OF the gambling and
specializing classes, whose party affiliations are
those of self-interest, and not the result OF
convictions, or fixed principles. This third
party will draw most Of the strength from the
Democratic party, but with accessions from the
Republican party, and most OF that large
class Of adventurers and no party men, it will
rival the Democratic party in numbers and
strength and place it in more hopeless NIL
nority than ever.
This movement will be ably advocated and
supported by Journals of easy political virtue,
such as the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Chica-
go Inter-Ocean, and such prominent leaders
and speakers as Wm Allen, the defeated can
didate for Governor of Ohio; Wendell Phillips
Pig Iron Kelley, OF Pennsylvania Donnelly
OF Minnesota; Smith, Travellick, Forrest
clean, Buchanan, and others Of the same
stripe. They will go into the contest Will
votes and strength enough to make them very
formid able disturbing element, and while they
may not carry any State as a whole, they viii
be able to secure some local triumphs, anc
force division of spolls.
