at a reduction OF from 70 per cent. upward, such

Perhaps, in view of HAYEs's doctrine

Perhaps, in view of HAYES doctrine
that Government Offices should he held by a
life tenure, GRANT will carefully weed out Of
them every man not TO his mind and substitute
others, In order that his friends, cronies, sup
porters. and their friends and cronies, may for
the rest Of their natural lives get their living out

who have been to school to the great master TO

The nomination OF United states Mar
shall PACKARD for Governor Of Louisiana has
created a great deal OF dissatisfaction within
the Republican ranks in That State, and 1t Is
predicted that he will be unable to poll anything
like tho full party vote in November. Conse-
quently, unless greater frauds are practised
In making up the returns than were ever prac-
tsed before, and unless an unusually large army
OF United states troops Is sent into the State TO
intimidate voters, Louisiana may be expected
to accomplish her redemption from the rule OF
public plunderers at the coming election. The
canvass, however, promises to be an expensive
one. In many Of the districts boilers from the
Republican equalization threaten TO run against

Col. p. DYER, the United States District

too much energy In the st. Louis whiskey trials,
and for imprudently instltuting inquiries into
frauds connected with the building Of the ~.
Louis Custom House, which IL followed up
would have implicated the Presidents friend
MuLLETT and his brother OWL, has informed
reporter OF the st. Loui, Times OF a fact which
should be generally known. Having heard from
various sources that the President was unfriend-
ly to him, he went to Washington, where he
called upon Attorney General TAFT and inform
ed that ofncisl that he intended to resign. Judge
TAFT, he says, seemed solicitous that he should
retain the office, aud asked him not TO resign.
Having thus ascertained the wishes of tho At
torney- General. he determined to withhold his
resignation and let the President remove MIN IL

without the knowledge OF Judge TAFT, whose
first information OF the change was three hours
after the name of OVERS successor had been

DEAR sIR-At the time 1t was decided by the
National Union Republican Committee al

tee al Chicago, of which fact the committee
there has probably informed you, it was with
the intention of securing more prompt and ef-
icent work throughout the Northwestern
States in behalf of the Republican cand dates
aud principles
In Looking over the field, which is large
one, your State wisconsin, Is one OF the first
demanding attention. We have been informed
that here are Republicans in nearly every com
munitv there who have become somewhat in
different to the success OF their party, attribu-
table, in part, to administrative abuses III
Washington and 10 the bitter personal con
tests within lew years of various prominent
men of the party In your State. Recognizing
this fact, without any desire to cast reflections
upon any OF The gentleman, or to interfere IN the
least degree with the efficient chairman Of
your Republican State Central Committee, 1t
is necessary for us Ia reach the Class referred
to at once by sending them frequently, through
the mail records of the acts of the Rcpubn-
can party in newspaper and documentary form,
Our hoadquafter, are not yet fully organiZed,
but relying on your fidelity to Republican,
principles, we request YOU 10 forward tconti-
dentially) to this office the names OF from three
to six OF the most doubtlui Republicans In
your locality.
Also names of the same number Of Luke
warm Democrats.
10 prevent mistakes you will find enclosed
a blank to be filled, and an envelope properly
directed Ii Is not necessary to write letter,
rs that might not he convenient now, but 1t l.
important that the list should be sent IN imme-
dlately alter receipt OF this.
Yours respectfully
4. A. REMicK, Secretary.
The circular was received in good
faith, as coming from the Republican
Committee at Chicago, and in re-
Spouse to it list of three or four
names was made up and forwarded
as requested, Now, it turns out
that there is no such party as +. A..
Remick connected with the Repub-
lican Committee at Chicago or else
where and that said Committee has
never authorized the issuance of such
circular. The whole thing is fraud,
undoubtedly practiced in the inter-
est of Tilden. The parties whose
names were forwarded will doubtless
be served with democratic documents
from now until election. We shall
endeavor to ascertain If such proves
to be the case, and touch the matter
further,

that their votes were given for ac-
quittal not because they believed the
accused innocent, but because they
thought the Senate had not jurisdic-
ton in the case. On this head the
Inter- Ocean said:
"To regard the Jurisdiction question as a
'finsy technicality is TO look at il, not into it,.
And to assume that those Senators who voted
not guilty. wanted To acquit' Bclknap is to
do them great injustice. Most Of those who
voted not guilty stated their reason, and in
every case it was that the Senate had no jnris-
dic;ion to Try tho case. A higher reason could
not be given"
To which that staunch old Repub-
lican paper, the Chicago Evening
Journal, replies as follows
''Thc question upon which the Senators voted
last Tuesday was whether the accused was
guilty or not guilty--only that and nothing
more. The question OF Jurisdiction had moth
ing to do with the case at that stage. That
was voted upon and disposed OF definitely be-
fore the trial opened, the Senate, by majori-
ty, then deciding that II had jurisdiction to try
the case when, therefore, Senators who
were convinced OF Belknap's guilt votedI mot
gritty because. in their private opinion the
Senate had no Jurisdiction, they voted falsely.
that is to say, when they voted not guilty
while knowing and believing thot he was prov
en- guilty by he testimony-the question OF in
nocencc or guilt being the only one for them
20 pass upon-they, by 'himsy technlcality,'
evaded their duty"
