it. If you had the same sense Of right
we could get along well enough" How

THE St. Louis GlO6e, of Monday, con-
tains several communications corrobor-
ating the statements made in the recent
Washington dispatch to that paper con-
cerning the alleged bond swindle in
Kansas. A Topeka dispatch says:
The facts appear to be that two of the
three counties in which the frauds were
practiced were organized for the main
purpose of enriching a ring of scoun-
drelly adventurers through the manipu-
Iation and sale of bogus securities; and
in the other county the same end was
attained through means little more
regular, but no more honest. he total
amount of these fraudulent bonds, ex-
elusive of the Barbour County railroad
bonds, is, as far as known, Si65,ooo.
They were sold, it is said, at an average
OF about sixty cents on the dollar, yield
ing the swindlers in the neighborhood Of
$loo, ,ooo The immediate operators IN
these transactions were about dozenin
number, most ofwhom have fdecamped,
and their whereabo6ts, aref not kIlowhS
There is no evidence scohbecting anyso1
the State officers with the frauds, Or
showing that they received anNgef the
swag, bit several politicians and s6thi-
nent speculators are said to have re-
ceived some of the bonds for services
rendered in the Legislative and in ne
gotiating sales. 1t is thought that the
Barbour county bonds, having been
regularly voted for by the people, and
issued in conformity with law, are valid
and can be collected, Notwithstanding
the proceeds thereof were squandered
and embezzled by the county officials.
The Comanche county bonds have a
color Of legality, and may be held good
when tested in the courts. The Harper
county bonds were void from the begin
ming, and worthless even in the hands
of innocent holders, since no such coun-
ty ever existed except in the imagination
Of the rogues who made the name a
cloak for robbery.

HON. MIR. BLAINE.

Mr.. Blaine has the reputation ofbeing
about the strongest politician in the Ad.
mnistration party, and he showed during
the last session, along with good deal
more Of thick-and-thin partisanship than
becomes q Speaker of the House of Rep
resentativ +, some manly independence,
as in his resolute opposition 10 the Third
Term bill, which gives him a chance Of
being heard with respect by moderate
men. In fact, we have the right to say
that what he says is the best that can be
said for his party; but it would be al
most cruel to exercise that right for
what he said in New Haven last night
WIS very weak, The trouble with Mr..
Blaine is, and that is a trouble with all
the advocates of Mr.. Blaines way of
thinking, that every appeal he makes for
the Administration is in fact an indict.
iment ofthe Administration. Heassures
his hearers that the Southern States are
still disorganized that the blacks are
only protected in their civil rights by the
interpostion Of Federal power. Well,
whose fault is that? 1t is twelve years
since the collapse of the Southern Con-
federacy being assured, Mr.. Blaines
party undertook the pacihcation of the
South and the restoration of the Union.
Mr.. Blaine admits, nay, Mr.. Blaine in
sists and reiterates, that the South is not
peaceful, nor the Union restored. To an
ordinary mind this fact would indicate
that the Republican party, thus proved
and confessed to be incompetent for the
work it undertook, should give place to
some other party that has at least a
chance of doing what it has not the least
chance Of doing, since, according to Mr.
Blaine, the rebellous feeling shows no
signs of giving way. To Mr.. Blaine's
mind it indicates that the hopeless in.
competents ought to have another trial
at what he does not expect them to do
There is no sense in this unless Mr..
Blaine looks forward to the indefinite
continuance in the South Of the disorder
which he admits that his party has per-
petrated there. If he does, and consid.
ers that the only way to treat the South
is to hold it as conquered province
denying the whites the rights Of citizens,
lest they should deny the blacks the
rights Of citizens he ought in all con-
sistency to have voted for the Third
,Tetm6bil. He did not vote for the
Force bill, because he has too much
sense not to know that the South would
giveno trouble to anybody if the Presi-
dent were not bent upon Stealing its
electoral votes instead Of tranquilizing
it; in other woeds, too much sense to be-
leve in the bugbear with which he tried
to frighten the New Haven people last
night NJ tKt5World.

GRANT AND BAEZ,
THE USURPATI0N IN SAN DOMINGO
BaGZ Maintained in Power BY United
States Troops.
TWO THO USAND CITIZENS. THE VICTIMS OF
Z 4 BAEZ'S TYRANNY WANT DAMAGES,

(, SAN DOMINGO, April Sit is stated
that this government is now being hard
pressed by about two thousand of its cit
.izens, victims of Baez's action while un-
der the immediate protection of United
States ships of war to present a claim on
the United States government for losses
and injuries to the government and peo-
pie arising therefrom.
The foundation Of this claim has been
taken from the speech of Senator Sum-
ner, March II, 1871, on violations of in
ternational law and usurpations of war
powers. The government intends, 1t is
said, to present claim for five millions
of dollars, but has not yet decided how
or by whom they will present it, having
no diplomatic representative in Wash
ington.
The argument of the Dominican gov
ernment in support of this claim, recltes
all about Baez's accession to power, his
attempt to dispose of the country and
lease of SANTANA, and declares he was
maintained in power by United States
troops, and was compelled to flee when
they ceased to support him; that while
occupying the Presidency, protected by
United States ships, he plundered the
treasury of large portion Of its revenue,
and ill-treated the citizens. 1t alludes to
many other facts in regard to the rela-
tions between the United States and
Santo Domingo which have occupied
attention during several years, and de-
clares that the acts of the United States
government were in violation of interna-
tional law, and that it is responsible for
the losses and injuries occasioned by the
protection of Baez.

THE WOOL MARKET.

In speaking of the wool market in
Boston, and the prospects for the coming
season, the AdVsyfiSey Of that city, says
"The market has ruled very steady for
fleece and pulled wool the past week.
There have been just enough buyers
present to keep the wheels moving, and
the sales;foot up to a very fair average.
Some buyers think that prices are little
softer, but a. careful survey of the mar
kets strengthens our belief that where
manufacturer has obtained seeming
concession he will find when his wool is
secured that it has cost full price 1t is
very good Judge of wool that can detect
the difference Of cent or two per pound
in two lot4 of wool, and men who think
they have bought under the market FIRE.
quently discover that they are mistaken.
Well handled Ohio w0ols have sold at
s. cents for a double extra, and some
very choice lots, Including the extra
grade, have sold at S. cents. Michigan
fleece in good condition has been sold at
5oa5I cents, and the bulk Of the sales Of
domestic have been of Ohio and Michi-
gan woods. A lot of New Hampshire
fine wool has been sold the past week at
50 cents, and this is an extreme pr,ce.
The sales of medium and low extra have
been restricted, owing to an absence Of
supplies The sales of California wool
have been light, as the stock here is
pretty well reduced, Several houses
who intended to send representatives to
California to look at the clip have deer
ded to let that market alone this season,
as the prospective demand for woolis not
promising enough to warrant investments
in wool except at low figures, and it is
believed that wool this year shou be
left to the natural course Of trade rather
than be forced to market faster than it is
wanted.

HERE is a mild estimate Of the Presi-
dents qualifications for third term. 1t
is from the Boston Courier "a Presi-
dent who takes gifts, who sits aloit,
thwarting the will Of the people, and
dreams of an indefinite extension of his
lease of power through the continuance
of anarchy in the Southern half of the
Union, should be ineligible even to a
second term Freedom itself is worth
less without order and an honest intelli-
gent National Administration. Grant
has never had Cabinet capable Of ad-
ministering the affairs Of great govern
ment He has had an unconquerable
aversion to anybody bigger than head
clerk. The personnel of the Govern
ment of the smallest State in Europe
would put ours to blush"

THE REV. GENERAL GARFIELD

The following from the New York Sun
is severe on the Rev. General who repre-
sents the Ashtabula district in Congress .
The Rev. Gen. james A. Garfield is
stumping Connecticut for One Hundred
Gun Green, and there is no man living
better qualified to expound the princi-
pies of Grantism to the voters of that
State. Gen. Garfield was convicted by
committee of his own political faith Of
having participated in the Credit Mobi-
lierspoils, Notwithstanding that he had
solemnly sworn that he had never had
any of the shares nor received any divi-
dends or profits arising from them; he
was consnicuous in his efforts to get
through Congress the bill which author
lied the rAscally Sanborn contract; he
was foremost in promoting the back-pay
salary grab; while Chairman OF the APP
preparation Committee, and holding the
purse strings of the nation" he. took a
fee of $1,000 for his services in foisting
upon the District of Columbia a worth
less wooden pavement, and ever after
proved devoted servant of the Infa-
nous District Ring; and while continu
ally making the loudest professions of a
desire for retrenchment in the public
expenditures he has been the most eff
cient supporter of all sorts Of jobbery to
be found in Congress. If he would only
truthful y tell all he knows about the way
in which the public funds have been
used during Grants Administration his
speeches would be the most interesting
that are likely to be deli, cred during the
pending canvass, though we fear they
might not gain many votes for the third
term candidate for Governor.

CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON.
ALLEGED SIVlNDLING IN MAIL
CONTRd CTS-CLERKS LHARG-
ED WITH COMPLETELY.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Investigations
have been going on for some time at the
Postoffice Department inregard to alleg-
ed corruption in the mail contracts in the
Southwest. 1t is said that several clerks
have been discovered to be acting as
accomplices of contractors, and that they
have rendered their designations, which
have been refused by the Postmaster
General, who has, however, endeavored
to keep the matter quiet for the present.
The allegation is that these clerks have
received regular salaries from the con-
tractors for altering their bids and aiding
them in getting contracts awarded. There
is no doubt that the Postmaster General
is unearthing large frauds in his depart
ment, and it would not be strange if in
this case the matter had been judiciously
withheld until after the Connecticut
election.

is elected with the exception of Fitzger-

old-time Democrats repudiated Fitzger-

wasn't a Democrat. The Democrats
lose several members of Council, owing
10 injudicious nominations, but they will
still retain control Of both branches.

A Toledo chap has had severe case
of mother-in-law. Upon the statement
of his betrothed that she was eighteen
years of age, he made oath to that effect
in the Probate Court, in order to procure
marriage license. As matter of fact
she was under age, and her mother had
the signing swain prosecuted for perjury.
He was convicted and sentenced TO three
years in the penitentiary. He was par
doned last week by Governor Allen after
having served four months of his term.
1t is not probable that the mother-in-law
will make her permanent home with the
young people.

THE Ohio Legislature refused to adopt
any measure to relieve the Supreme
Court by providing for the appointment
OF commission or otherwise. The Su-
preme Court is seven years behind with
its work, and the failure of the Legisla-
ture to afford relief practically amounts
to denial of justice. This is one of the
sins of omission to be charged up to the
late worthless Legislature, and will serve
to set the people to thinking more earn
