There is decidedly revolution in
the Treasury Department.. The Sec
retary retired before his successor
was appointed. Mr.. Wilson, the So
licitor. has resigned. Mr.. New, the
Treasurer, has resigned. It is not
known whether Jundge Burnham and
Mr.. Conant, the assistant secretaries.
will retire, but even if they should re-
main the changes will be SO numerous
as to cause some friction in the work
ing of the department. Mr.. New. it
is well known, has been I'll at ease in
his office. aud has only remained at
the urgent request Of gentlemen who
thought his services too valuable 20
be lost to his country. Mr.. Wilson is
a devoted personal friend of the late
Secretary, and retires with him. These
two offices are hardly less important
than that of the Secretary, and shouid
be filled with great care. a.1.s

The result OF the order which the
Postmaster General will be compelled
to Issue on the first of July will be to
reduce the allowance for clerks hi1e
in every office in the United States
from II to 10 per cent. 1t is said by
some members of Congress that the
Postmaster General can let tho ser
vice go on, and the next Congress- will
relieve him in case lie has created de-
ficiency. But the Postmaster General
declares that he shall expend one
twelfth of the appropriation during
the first mouth of the next fiscal wear,
and the same proportion each month
thereafter, and that no deficiency will
be left for his successor when he comes
into office on the 4th of March next.

board says:
We are bound to say that some things
which it has done in the past, as well as
some which it is now doing, do not meet
our idea of what body of this kind ought
to do. We quite agree with the report
made by Mr.. Wheeler, Mr. Hoar and
Mr.. Frye, that in at least one importan,
point the board, in its action of 874, passed
beyond what the law said it might and
should do. We should be glad now if the
board had, before taking up its work. seen
the vacancy in its number filed by any
reputable Democrat whom me Democratic
COMMITTEE chose to name. We should be
glad, too, if ali its proceedings had been
open to the press, to be fully reported by
Republican and Democratic papers of New
Orleans, and, as far as they chose, By the
papers of the other. states"

Republicans who are being gulled
by Democrats into voting against the
Republican party, should carefully
study over the result in Indiana.
There the main canvass for the green
back party has been made there it
had its birth there the money was
spent to give it life, ard there out of
vote of 100000 the greenback
party received the insignifica mt vote
of 1000, and results show that near
ly every one of these were cast by
Republicans; that Democrats got
them into the third party for the
purpose of drawing off votes from
the Republicans, and when it came
to the vote, every Democrat went
back to his wallow and voted the
Copperhead ticket, and the Republi.
cans who left their own party took
away enough votes to elect old "Blue
Jeans" Williams, and the Democrats
are happy. Will you allow them tc
come a similar dodge over you in
Iowa. They have no hope of the
general ticket here, but they do hope
to carry a few Congressional dis.
tricts, and will if Republicans allow
themselves TO be thus duped.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1876-10-19
NOT DISCOURAGING


The election results east are hot
discouraging by any means, to Repub-
licans. In Ohio we have gains on
every hand. A gain of $4,000 over
the vote of 1874, when Congressman
were last elected, and a gain of about
1000 over Gov, Hayes majority of
last year. But the most important
gain was on Congressman, we gain
ing five in that State. -
Indiana has long been Democrat
ic State, and in 1874 it was 1902
Democratic. Now it only gives about
$500, Republican gain of about
$4,000, and Republicans gain four
Congressman and elect the Legisla-
lature. Two years ago the Legisla-
ture was Democratic by 16 majority.
Now the Republicans have MAORI
ty of IL. This too, with 1000 green
back votes cast in the State, nearly
all from Republican ranks. If Dem
ocrats can find anything particularly
joyful in the above, we advise them
to shout their paans of victory now,
for they will have no chance in No
yember.
West Virginia is Democratic again,
but so it was before, and as every
Congressman therefrom was Demo,
crat before, and probably is again,
we lose nothing there.
The late Confederate House i'm,
pressed Republicans with the impor,
lance of electing Congressman, and
the result in every State thus far has
been Republican gain. The present
House of Representatives consisted
of 16S Democrats, l08 Republi-
cans, II independents and 2 vacan-
cies. Giving the Democracy the
independents and vacancies - 194
(Which is far too liberaD and they
had a majority of 76. To get posses
sion of the House, therefore, we must
gain 80. We have already gained IL,
and nearly every Western State will
add to il, so there is everything to
encourage us in the belief that Re
publicans will again have possession
of both Houses after next March.
This, with the Republican President,
as we are sure to have, and the gov
eminent will once moro return to
the hands who saved it.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1876-10-19

There are many erroneous opin-
ions among the voters on finance
and regarding resumption. The one
Democrats love best to foster, is the
foolish assertion that resumption
means to do away with all paper
money, and do business with specie
alone. Nothing is further from the
truth. Not one paper dollar ,oiN be
cancelled By resumption, and instead Of
making money scarcer, it will make
it plentier just to the amount Of re-
demption, for every paper dollar re-
deemed we will have one gold dollar
in circulation, and that paper dollar
will still be in the hands Of the gov
eminent for circulation, and will be
paid out and received back just as
the business may demand, the papar
one being as good as the gold one
hence worth 10 per cent more than it
is now. When n greenback is as
good as II gold dollar, no one will
want the gold. When We make it
as good as a gold dollar, our money
will be the best in the world, and
will be taken as gold the world over.

The Register says: Gen. Dix has
lost none of his terseness and and
emphasis since his "shoot- him on-the-
spot" order, fifteen years ago. In
his address at the Cooper Institute
he touched upon Tilden's refusal TO
take part in the monster Union
meeting of April 20, 1861, and said:
mThere is no statute of limitations
for disloyalty TO the Union.".

THE RESULT.

The Republicans carried Ohio by
an increased majority, of about
5000; and the Democracy have car
ried Indiana by majority Of 1000 tc
1000, Democratic loss of nearly
$4,000 over the vote of two years ago
While we lose the State, fact to be
greatly regretted, the gains both on
the State and Congressional ticket,
are very encouraging and give us a
certainty of carrying Indiana in
November. In 1874 the Democrats
carried Ohio by 1902 on Secretary
of State; and last year Gov. Hayes
majority was 5,544; this year, Repub-
lican ticket generally gets 5000; the
Secretary Of State being unpopular
runs 1000 behind. We also gain 5
congressman in Ohio.
In Indiana two years ago, the
Democratic State ticket had 1882,
and Congress stood Republicans,
s Democrats. Now the Democracy
have bare majority, 1000 probably,
and Republicans elect 9 out of Is
congressman. The Republicans have
majority in the Legislature, The
Democracy are enabled to carry the
State by the aid of Republican green
packers, and thus only. This will
give the average greenbacker food
for thought.
The elections thus far are decided
ly encouraging TO Republicans, and
show net gain of eleven Congress-
men. The Democratic victory in
Indiana, with its candidate for Vice
President, is just as much to be ex-
pected, as the Republican victory in
Ohio, with its Presidential candidate
but our gain in Indiana assures us
that State in November.
The battlefield will now be trans
ferred from the West to New York,
and the political battle-fres will burn
warmly in that State until after
November, when it will roll up 35
electoral votes for Hayes and
Wheeler.
