If GEN. CUSTER knew, as he stated be-
fore the Committee on Expenditures in the
War Department, that the Belknap post
trader frauds were being carried on, he
acted in bad faith to the army in conceal
ing the fact, and if it was generally known
among srmy officers, as he stated, it speaks
badly for their integrity. If the army Off
GERS knowingly permitted the post traders
to oextort from the soldiers so as to meet the
demands of Belknap's friends, while the
law makes it their duty to regulate the
traders prices, it speaks badly for these off,
GERS. Would this be good time for Custer
to explain to the American people why he,
in violation of law, shaved the heads of
and whipped his soldiers near Hampstead,
Texas. in September, 1865, and did he re-
port that to the Secretary of War, or will
it appear in mis- memoirs of the war.

In ConklipR the Coming Mani

Editorial correspondence OF Tho st. Joseph (To.)
Herald.I
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The action of
the Republican convention of New York, in
dorsing as their candidate for the Presidency
Hon. Roscoe Conkling, has created consider
able excitement here, and he is looked upon
already as a very formidable candidate for the
Cincinnati nomination. A conversation with
prominent Republicans OF Pennsylvania leads
TO the irresistible conclusion that if the Key
stone State is compelled to abandon her favor
ite son, Governor Hartranft, she will wheel
into line wah New York and concentrate upon
Conkling.
A further assurance is given that a similar
result NAV be anticipated from North Caro-
lima and other Southern States, and already
lie has become great central figure in all Re-
publican circles. He is the subject of general
discussion in all Republican quarters, and his
name strikes the popular ear with unusual
favor.
The fact that New York will give him her
solid delegation, backed by Pennsylvania as a
unit, aud the support that Is promised from
other quarters, leads to the strong probability
Of his being the coming man.
His great elements of strength consist in his
dauntless courage, steadfastness to the na-
tional cause, his infexible will and unimpeach-
able honor.
In 1872 he demolished the opposition game
of SANDER at the opening of the campaign, in
his great speech at Cooper Institute, New York.
For two hours he held the assembled thou
sands SPELL bound with his electrical eloquence
and withering sarcasm-and in that address,
which was acknowledged to have been a
masterpiece of oratory and consummate
ability, he utterly annihilsted the efforts of
the Democracy to divert the national contest
into strange channels. His acknowledged
purity of character and freedom from even an
insinuation of connection with rings or cliques,
his manly defense of friends and scathing de-
nunciation of foes, and the fact that he, more
than any other at present candidate, is pre-
emineHtly sound on the all-abs orbing topics of
amnesty and currency, the Republicans from
principle, and the business and industrial men
of the country from interest, can find no man
more capable of advancing these ideas.
have never known time when In so short
a time the popularity of q man grew and
strengthened by the hour than in the present
instance. Mr.. Conkling's friends point with
pride to his record in public life, and boldly
challenge comparison and criticism. Free
from faint of any kind, his pure character
towers up like stately column of parian mar
BILE, without spot or blcmish.
The latest indications are that many OF the
candidates already named will concentrate
their strength upon Conkling, with view to
making his nomination certainty, and should
the Western States respond to the prevailing
sentiment East and South, and after their To-
cal favorites- have been disposed of, give
Conkling their vote, q victory complete, en-
phatic and full of hope to the nation will be
assured.

AKn SO FoSTa GLnYEa.

The Speaker OF the House is reported to
have said recently that the numerous in
vestigat'ous in that body had used up all
the talent, and that if further inquiries
were to be set on foot the standing COM
mittees would have TO be entrusted with
them. Il remained for an educated Mis-
sourian by the name of Glover to apply q
better remedy than that suggested by the
Speaker. He offered 4 resolution on Sat
urday to the effect that if any scandal now
afoat against any official Of the General
Government or against any Senator or
Member had hitherto escaped attention
AID failed to become the subject OF investi-
tation, the celebrated District Real Estate
Pool Committee should take Jurisdiction
thereof and should have the same power
to send for persons and papers, and to in
spect and examine books, letters, papers,
private memoranda, &C., as that commit
tee now has to prY into the private books
of real estate agents in Washington. In
short, to cover all oversights, all things
omitted, and all things guessed at. Mr..
Glover proposes to add the potent
and all-embracing &C., &C., TO the
present catalogue Of investigations. The
Pool Committee is to have gen.
eral powers to ego for" everything
and everybody. This is understood
to include the family correspondence of all
officials and the letters between husbands
and wives. Mr.. Conger, OF Michigan, was
unreasonable enough to object to the con-
sideration of the resolution. 1t will come
up day. What can Mr.. Conger mean
Is he wickedly endeavoring to screen some
body's private letters and papers from
public inspection? Let US have facts. We
append Mr.. GloVers liberal and compre-
hensive resolution. 1t should be adopted
''by large majority" as it reaches 'from
Alpha to Omega"
REAL ESTATE POOI. ISVE>TTGATIoN.
'Mr. Glover. l ask unanimous consent for
the adoption of the resolution which send to
tie desk.
''Tke Clerk read as follows:
whereas on the 24.h of January, A. ID. 1875,
the House adopted the following resolution:
"'RcSolped, That special committee of five
me m mbeIs of this House, to be selected by the
Speaker. be appointed to inquire into the nature
and history OF said Real Estate Pool and the
character Of said settlement, with the amount of
property involved in which Jay Cooke s Co. were
Interested, and the amount paid or to be paid in
settlement, with power to send for persons and
parers. and report to this House.
''Be IL feSolvec, That said committee be further
authorized and directed to likewise inves'ig ate
any ard all matters touching the official niscon-
duct OF any cfficer Of the Government Of the Uni
ted States, or Of any member Of the present Con-
gress of the United States, which may come to
the knowledge Of said committee: Proridef, That
this resolution shall not affect any such matter
now being Investigated by any other committee
under authority OF either House Of Congress; aud
for this purpose said committee shall have the
same powers to send for persons and papers, to
inspect and erdmiRe respectively, as conferred by
said original resolution"

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. MONDAY

now elected viii choose Senator to succeed
the late Senator Ferry, whose unexpired term
Is now filled by English. EThere is also an
election to Congress in the Third district, to
fill out the term of the late Representative
Starkweather. In this district the Republi-
cans have majority, though rendered varia-
bic by the Temperance vote. The Democrats
have nominated David A. Wells, in the hope
of gaining the votes of Liberal, Hard money
and Tarif-reform Republicans. In1s75 Stark
weather received plurality of 9Is, the Tenn
perance ticket receiving $50 votes. His ma
jority over both was 3S3. Governor Ingersoll
had, in 1878, G,2T3 majority, the Temperance
ticket having s,541 votes; in 1874, 1909, the
Temperance ticket receiving 1850 votes; in

friend!' said the agriculturist. "No," said
the dog; 81 kept them in return for my SER
vices" "Come to my heart" said the master;
81 knew you could rot tell lie."
