expulsion for selling that cadctship IL
the iron-clad perjury Of Lawyer Lilly,
who swore positively that he kept the
three thousand dollars, and that Hays
never kept cent Of it. The committee
has been unable to disprove this, al.
though every member il of the moral
conviction that Hays received some Of
the money Nashville American DEM.
A correspondent Of the Boston Globe
says that there is an anti-bourbon demo-
cratic movement on foot in Washington,
for the nomination either Of Supreme
Judge David Davis, of Illinois, or Of
General Winfield S. Hancock, for the
presidency, with ex-governor Castor, Of
Massachusetts,, as second on the ticket.
At the present time General Hancock
holds the second place in the affection of
young democrats,
THE Harrisburg Patriot shows that
the c~arpctbaggcrs Of the south area two
edged calamity, They %notOnly robthclr
immediate constituents, but the unrav-
cling Of their credentials is tax on the
cxchcqtcr of the nation. 1t Is estimated
that it may cost AZ high as fifty thousand
dollars TO unwind Senator Spencer, 50 a.
to expose him in the original cocoon con-
ditiOn in which he undertook to buy his
way into the senate from the state Of Al
ALBANIA.
lT is denied that Senator MOrton's son
receives twenty-five thousand dollars a
year AZ secretary Of the Alaska company,
which holds the seal contract illegally
awarded by Boutwell, and Richardson,
when those worthless engineered the job
berry of the treasury department. The
young man, it is said, receives only the
modest SALARY of twenty-five hundred dot
lars a year. Who, then, it may be per-
tincntly asked, gets the remainder of The
twenty thousand dollars . Hicago

BY a decision Of the United States
supreme court, the election law under
which Federal officers have been cna-
abIcd to prosecute and intimidatc white
voters Of the south-undcr prctext of
Furnishing them for interfering with the
colorcd population-hns been declared
unconstitutional and void. The dcci-
sion is likely to seriously cripple the
administration in its cndcay0rs to car
ny the southern states this summer in
the Interests Of the Carpctbaggcrs and
Scncgambians,- Chicayo Times (Ind).

suffered too much from bull-puppetry in
high places. And it isn't such a diff
cult matter to shuttle off Il president, after
all. The wings did it in the case of
Tyler, and the republicans did it with
Andrew JohnSon-a much better and
stronger man than Grant ever was."-
