! The dissemination Of news from every portion OF
the civilized world 70 every other portion, by tele-
graph, has made the correspondent commenter
upon, rather fhaa an announcer Of events. Just AZ
tLs time Washington Is the of rapidly sueoeee-
ing .ncients OF vital interest to the country and to
faithfully chronicle the details Of each days news
would take more space than many times the limits OF
a letter Many things Of Importance occur to which
not even aude because before my letter can reach
YOU your readers viii have become familiar with The
facts through the telegraph. But the telegraph can
do no more than furnish brief outlines. and it IS still
the province OF the correspondent 10 supply the SUP
stance OF such information may be Of special inter-
est to the reader The correspondent whom you
know, and upon whose truthtulness you can depend,
is Of specialapogtan TO your readers at this time
when il il the universal complaint Of our party tina:
tie telegraph has been used against in an attempt
10 create public opinion adverse TO the democratic
House. No Congress hs5 ever labored harder or ac-
oonplished more in the SINE length of time, than
has the present one; yet the impression las gone
/ through the country that valuable time las been
wasted, and nothing done. 1hs Tork done Las been,
much Of IT, of character that renders secrecy ne
( esssity. And, while the House may have appeared
10 20 little the committees have abOred inceSsntly
sight AMI day In addition 10 the necessary leisia-
ton II has devoved upon the House 10 unearth and
drag 10 the lgLt a mass Of
RADICAL RAscALUY,
official corruption AMI mtfels4nce in Office, without
preoe lent il the history Of any government. The
rotten aeeumulations Of fifteen years of republican
misgule are suidsny disclosed, and lie fostering in
: the public SIGHT The abuses AMI villanies which
have been covered up and 6inkel at by the republ-
can maorties Of previous houses it Is the duty Of
the present democratic majority 10 uncover, and 10
bring the guilty officials TO justice This has been so
well done that there at this time score of inves
cations IN progress. And the work is not yet half
commenced. With all that has been disclosed, the
people are not prepared for the depth Of vl!any that
VIII yet be brought 20 light.
Who could have believed that men could be found
90 lost to all sense of honor or deocGcy TO bury the
bones of horses and mules IL the national cemeteries
or worse to divide toly 1utO several parts, put
ting them INTO different graves because they were
paid much foc each grave Ami yet this has been
done by living III the very shadow Of the White
House and tlvoled with the personal friendship of
Grant himself.
