a Radical CasspaIgs LIE sswetched.

a Radical GasspaIgw Lie sewetchsd,
Those persons that have been gulled,
by base partisan papers, into the be-
lief that if the Democrats are success
ful in the coming national contest,
the country will be bankrupted by the
payment OF Southern war claims,
would do well to paste the following
clear aad manly avowal, OF our next
President. in their hats:
"Should ! be elected president, the
provisions of the Fourteenth amend
ment will, so far as depends on me, be
maintained. executed and enforced in
perfect and absolute good faith. No
rebel debt will b, assumed or paid.
No claim for loss or emancipation of
any slave will be allowed. No claim
for amy loss or damage incurred by
disloyal persons, arising from the late
war, whether covered by the Four
teenth amendment or not, will be rec
ogniled or paid. The cotton tax will
not he refunded.
l shall deem it my duty to veto
every bill providing tor the as, umPtion
or payment of any such debts, losses,
damages. claims, or for the refunding
of any tx. The danger to the
national treasury is not from the claims
of persons who aided rebellion. but
from the claims Of persons residing in
the Southern States, or having property
in those States, who were, or pretended
TO be, or who. for the sake Of aiding
claims, now pretend to have been loyal
TO the Government of the Union.
Such claims. even Of loyal persons,
where they are from acts caused by the
operations of the war, have been dis
owned by the public law Of civilized
nations, condemned by the adjudica'
ton Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, aud only And any status
by force of the specific legislation of
Congress. These claims have become
stale, and are of;en tainted with fraud.
They ARE nearly always owned in
whole or in part by claim agents, by
spectators or lobbyists, who have no
equity against the taxpayers or the
public. They should, in all cases, be
scrutiniLed with the nations care"

he sent the following ringing telegram
to the Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt, chair
man Of the National Coulmittee

The whole South is ready thus to
speak. There is but one opinion and
feeling in the South. This is expressed,
as above, briefly but eloquently and
truly. The war which the Republican
leaders are making upon us, is wanton
aud unprovoked. The cry about
"rebel claims" is unjustifed. We are
greatly mistaken If the various South.
ern States do not makes their status
as explicit as Kentucky has made
hers and that without delay. The
charge rests on groundless surmise and
assumption. tits put forward wantonly
and .irresponsibly. Newspaper denial.
may pass for little but such as the
fofegoing have the sanction Of official
character and private honor. and, be-
ing Representative, can not fail to reach
the intelligence Of the North with an
assurance that can not-be disputed by
reckless and embittered pariisans. The
malice Of Grantism has over.reached
itself. In this rebel-claim business it
has taken shape to be distinctly met
aud answered. Governor Tilden has
spoken manfully for the South. Now,
the South will speak for itself.

The confederate Congress is the

adjourned, by the Radical press of
the country. Call it what you please,
it has reduced the appropriations
$50, 900, 900, in the face of the fierce
opposition of the Republican Admin
istration, the Republican Senate and
the Republican press. 1t has forced
retrenchment and economy in the
expenditures in spite of the determi-
nation of the Republican Senate to
increase them over former years. 1t
has exposed the thievery and rotten
ness of the Republican Administra-
ton and broke up some of the ras-
cally schemes for plundering the peo-
Pile. Whatever may be said of it,
none charge the House of Represen-
tatives with jobbery or plundering
schemes, as has been the case with
several of the recent Republican
Houses. There have been no Credit

Hayes substituted! They now sing,

are attempting to crowd the name of
God out OF -four church hymns! Glory

MI. Dennis Lewellen is employed
by the County Commissioners to look
after the Court House and Court
House square, and to keep them in
proper condition. For each day en-
ployed he receives from the county
treasury $1.50, from funds made up
by taxes levied upon the lands and
chattels of the county.-Eaton Reg
lister.
Very true, @ sapient editor, and
the same price has been paid to all
other Deputies or Sherifs for this
work, out of the "funds made up by
taxes levied upon the lands and chat
tells of the county," but for the mo.
ney paid MI. Lewellen, the square
and its surroundings have been made
to "bloom and blossom as the rose,'
and a credit to the county, whereas
heretofore it was turned into q horse
and cow pasture. That is the differ
ence, and the citizens e and know
it; and because Mr.. Lewellen ha:
been thus fair and honest in thi'
work for the taxpayers of Prebl
county, we believe he will be homes
as q Sheriff, and that every thin!
will be conducted in the same econo
mical and satisfactory manner unde
him as it has been under Sherit
Townsend. The taxpayers of tn
county should look at these thing
and vote accordingly.
