rME ROBBED FREEDAKH.'

= z u = Is.I
.o1N is gratifying to see that the Southern
Democratic congressman are endeavo vorinc
'osave something for lhe great mass Of
southern Freedmen, who were 50 shame.
fully swindled by their professed friends
through the Freedmen's Bank. The
great mass Of the colored people who were
deceived and robbed by the friends Of the
Administration were southern freedmen
The accounts ofthe bank are being thor
oughly Investigated, and all the irregu.
alarities and deialcations traced, and the
responsibility for them fastened upon the
persons justly accountable for them. Mr.
Bradford, Of Alabama, who is working the
thing up, will not relax his labors in be-
half Of the poor freedmen until he secures
for them their full right; until it is made
known without doubt just who stole their
money, and until measures are taken to
punish the thieves and expose those who
have, attempted to shield them from. the
just consequences Of their crime. With
the aid Of competent experts the accounts
of the instution will be carefully overhauled
and the assets put into proper condition for
q settlement at the earliest practicable day.

THE VENAL JUDGE.

/, The charge is boldly and persistenrty
made, and the New Orleans Democrat says
it can be proved, that Babcock, Porter and
Senator West were paid $45,oee for Sc
curing the appointment Of Judge Billings
as successor to Judge Dnrell. The ap-
poiptment Of Billings was made in the in
terest of the Wh1skey Ring in New Or
leans, and that the Ring in that city were
assessed $27, 900 of the $4,000 paid for
his appointment. The Ring endeavored
to arrange matters SO that Billings should
sit with Judge Woods in the trial Of their
cases, which aroused the indignation Of
the last named juris'. The charges are
boldly made, and although attracting
great attention, Judge Billings remains
mute on the subject. The charges call
for an investigation into the ACTS. No in
ves'igation, however, can relieve the
President from the discrsdit Of appointing,
or excuse the servility Of the Senate in
confirming to the responsible Office of n
United States Judge, 30 disreputable a
person as Billings. Both the nomination
and confirmation wers disgraceful.

By adding the balances in hank at the
time Of city election each year to the fig
ures a. given by Mr. J. P. Hayes, it will
show the present Council has spent less
money than the Council that preceded it.
1t matters little to the taxpaying COM
munity as to the actual arrangement of,he
various city debts, a. all debt must perforce
be paid by a person or municipality
living within its income, the present Coun-
Gil is on the road to financial success and
honest payment Of its debts, as it has
spent less money and has more to show
for the money spent, in the way Of per-
manent improvements, than any Of its
predecessor. ~,

1AsCALITY OF POLICEMEN,

the President and Davenport, the aspect
becomes more discreditable, During the
last Presidential contest as shown by the

Thousand dollars were expended in The
city Of New York to elect Gen. Grant.
Davenport received upwards Of athouaand

the twenty-six thousand dollars which

WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING

Are We ever to expect yirtuons quality
to exhibit itself in official position? The
ramifcation Of the influence of venality
and corruption extend thfoughout the en-.
tire nation. The exposition Of the corrup-
ton in New York, Warrington, and all
the principal cities Of the Union, is start
ling. The robbing Of the National, State
County and City treasures is the order Of
the day. Credit Mobiilier practices:
Indian Bureau pilferings; Boss Shepherd
infamies, Babcock and Porter briberies;
Straw bail frauds of the Washington
Courts; Burglary Safe dastardly plots, and
all manner Of reckless crimalities are prev
alent throughout the land. These with
the preparation Of election frauds with
the knowledge and by the direction of the
Chief Exesutive Of the nation. are appall-
ing lessons Of the degeneracy Of political
power, and Of the degradation Of official

BAYARD FOR PREulDENT.


schemeis buried under load of public
execration, there is q sharp ard angry
contest going on among the Republican
candidates for the nomination at Cincin-
natl. As M tiers now stand, it is difficult
to tell who leads the way, on account Of
the bitter war waged in behalf of the
several great rivals, which daily intensi-
ties into personal recriminalion, and taken
such a form as will most likely exclude
them all from the OBJECT Of their ambition.
But in the present terrible condition Of
things, it matters little who the Relubli-
cans may nominate at Cincinnati, if the
Democrats nominate a candidate like
Senator Bayard at St. Louis. Altogether,
we regard Thomas F. Bayard as the
strongest candidate The Democracy can
nominate. He isthe most available leader
for the Presidential race, and will gain
that prestige for the party which will en-
sure his election. .ar. ... .,.s -
+. Nothing can save OUR country from de-
moralization and anarchy but the placing
of the reins OF government in skilful hon.
est hands. 1t is hoped that the Democrats
at their National Convention at St. Louis
will be guided by the examples handed
down to them from the fathers of the
party, and choose their candidate from its
best and ablest members. The Democratic
party has everything to support itin car
rying the next Presidential election. If
wide spread and long continued official
corruption be not sufficient reason for dis
carding the party in power, there can be
no sufficient reason given for T. change,
for mere mistakes of policy or bad judg-
ment in measures arc mere normal ofEenses
in comparison with swindling, knavery,
and gross betrayal Of trusts. The revolt.
ing exposures which have occupied public
attention during the lest three months,
ought 10 have fatally damaging effect on
the party in power, even if no more should
be proved than has already come te
light; and there is good reason for believ.
ing that the end is not yet. 30 80
