but one meth ID of uniting the two RACES, it is

One week Before ex Gov. Shepherd Of the
District Of Columbia called his creditors TO-
gether and Informed them that be was unable
to pay bis debts, be gave ten thousand dollars
TO the radical election fund, with the under
staudiog that half of that sum was to be spent
10 purchasing votes in South Carolina. Mr..
Shepherd is Ieadiog radical, and the boon
companion Of President Grant. but as he is q
sensible man, sensible enough to have made a
large fortune, and, it is said, to have saved
enough for all future contingencies. he must
have been aware OF his financial condition when
he made the contribution alluded to, aud If so,
how can his friends reconcile his action with
ordinary ideas Of honor and integrity. Ills
creditors find il Impossible to do 80, but still be

With the exception of Mr.. Blaine, the pres
ent occupant of the White House is uruues-
tionably the worst man now prominently before
the people. From the time Of bis first luau-
gura,on he has been intimately connected with
all the numerous scandals that have disgraced
his administration, and now, on the eve OF re.
firing from position that lie has degraded,
he attempts the GROWING infamy OF recording
his exit 10 letters written in the blood OF his
countrymeu. Ii his object 10 sending troops
to New Orleans were laudabe, as the radical
press pretend to believe, why should he select
as their commander that man, who, above all
others in the army, has rendered himself most
Objectionable TO the people Of that city, and
who has never ceased to manifest his hatred
for them, ADD who expresses that hatred by
designating them as banditti. Instead of be-
ing laudab!e, his motive is execrable, in that
its object is to provoke bloodshed, and con
sequent revival Of sectional feeling, with ths
end of continuing his party 10 power against

The course pursued by President Grant in
the existing election troubles is meeting with
the just reprobation Of sill the right.tblnklng
men ard newspapers 10 the country. The New
York Journal OF Commerce, 10 alluIIng to ii,
says:
ut matters little who volunteers to appoint
these distinguished, trusted citizens to do thls
work. We only desire that men shall be 1aued
who fairly represent both parties and ENJOY the
confidence Of the people. 1t President urant
had not behaved like a mere partisan III the
election using the whole power OF his office to
elect the candidate OF his party it would have
been not unsuitable to conide the choice OF
these men to him. But man who has labor
ed so hard and unscrupulouSiy to carry tho
Southern elections for hIs friends canno. ue
trusted, whatever bis promises now, TO do even
ADD exact justice between the two parties At the
South. A President DESTROYS to calm the ey'

this critical juncture, would not have sen!
