DEMOCRATS pooh pooh the charge that
they will pay Southern claims. In the
House, at the last session, that party ac.
tually voted to pay such claims to the
amount of nearly half million of dollars
"But we know the Senate would not pass
them," said Democrat the other day.
Exactly. You depended upon the Repub
lican party to prevent your representatives
from perfecting an act of shameless treason
and committing political suicide.

REPUBLICANS, Independents, honest
Democrats, gentlemen of every Glass;
except Democratic office seekers,-can you
affiliate with party that stoops to such
blackguardism as to charge that its oppo-
nents are all either knaces, fools or lunatics,
as was done at the Democratic meeting, on
Tuesday. Such outrageous abuse and vii
LITIGATION should meet with fitting re-
Duke at the polls on the 7th of November.

DEMOCRATIC newspapers have been vo-

white Democrats, in South Carolina; and
now they howl louder if possible because
President Grant proposes to disarm these

the election) received 12, 226 votes, not less

OUR neighbor of Tie Democrat made
slight error in his figures last week, which
we take the liberty of correcting. In speak
ing of the recent election in Newark, N. j.,
he says: Newark, N. j., last year gave
$500 Republican majority, last Tuesday
the majority was but 900" The fact of
the matter is, that at the election last year
the majority was but about 100, while on
Tuesday of last week it was 1000, Re-

universal patriotism, looking TO uuiver-
ga! brotherhood and affection. He knew
that that sentiment had not found its
full expression here; that Il had been
kept down and smothered in the mesbes
of an intolerart political organization.
and that its voice had not been heard
amid the clamors and appeals Of impas-
stoned patriotism; but in the political,
as well as in the natural world, the sgeE-
cles that were most powerful were not
the most necessary. Violence, passion,

senate committee on privileges and
elections, at met ting to-day, took up
the Pinchback and Eustis cases and
discussed them in q general way, and
without coming to any conclusion ad-
IOurned their further consideration IN
til next Friday.
The senate finance committee were
mainly occupied with Sherman's bill,
relative TO national bank receivers and
bankruptcy proceeding, but its consider
alton was not concluded. The commit
tee also had up Conkling's bill on the
same general subject.
The senate committee on appropria-
tions heard Commissioners Dennison,
Ketchum and Phelps on the subject OF
the payment of interest on three
sixty-fiVe District of Columbis
bonds, the question being whether the
United States should make an sppropri-
alton directly, or require the District au-
tbOrities to pay the interest now and
look to the Federal government for ap-
propriatiODs to make good any possible
def 1T in the District revenues hereafter.
No action was taken.

LIBERIA,
Emigration Statistics from the Report
of the Secretary of the COlOni-
ZatiOn Society.

WASHINGTON, January 10. The
financial report of the secretary of the
American colonization society states
that the resources for the past year have
been $24, go %. The receipts during
the last twelve months have been: From
donations, S69Tl 80; from legacies,
$l042 So; received for education in Lii
beria, $2665 IS; and from other sources,
Sl2,S7S 20. The balance on hand was
S672 So. The disbursements balance the
resources, $l409 having been expended
for the passage andsuppoIt OF enigrants;
S270S so for education in Liberia: $l3,-
278 66 in payment of debts and interest,
and $6S34 OF for other purposes. The
report refers to the safe arrival, on the
thirteenth of December, 1874, on the
shores Of Liberia, of bark containing
twenty-seven emigrauts from America,
not ore having died on the passs ge.
Since the last annual report thefs have
been sent to Liberia twenty-three emil
grants. The annual expedition was dis
patched by the bark Liberia, from New
York, January 13, 1876, containing,
among others, two licensed ministers Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, who
expected to enter the Liberian annual
conference. For the last fifty. five years
emigration to Liberia had been uninter-
rupted. Those now reported make the
number coloniZed since the war, 3ll0,
and total number from the beginning
of Is, 09s, exclusive Of 5725 recaptured
Africans, whom they have induced and
enabled the government Of the United
States to settle in Liberia, making q
grand total Of 20, ,S23 persons to whom
the society had given homes in Africa.

BOSTON, January 25-The afternoon
papers will publish disclosures affecting
E. D. Winslow, well known journalist
and politician, aud known as One of the
principal owners of the Daily NetUS and
Boston Post, though it is not believed
that either of these papers is affected by
his transactions which are now coming
to light Notes amounting 10 seVen
thousand dollars, negotiated in one of
the national banks by Winsluw, are
II is alleged that when the amount Of
his forged papers are fully ascertaired
by Investigation, it will reach over one
hundred thousand dollars. Winslow
left last Thursday, accompanied by his
family, for parts unknown.
Details of alleged f0rgeries by E. d.
Winslow, published by the Journal, rep
resent that 1t is estimated that the
amount of discounted paper Issued
by him must be in excese of two hum
dTed thousand dollars, but whether the
Endorsements are genuine or not can
not yet be determined. 1t is stated that
Winsl0w sold his interest in the NeIOS
last week. WinsloW was educated for
the ministry of the Methodist church,
and served as chaplain in two regiments
during the war, and was also chaplain
in the navy, and has since Officiated in
several churches. He was formerly
publisher of ZiOn's Herald, and was a
member of the legislature in 1873 and
1875. 1t is stated that before his dis
appearance he made several efforts to
negotiate paper, but the Endorsements
were dett cted as f0rgeries aud he was
threatened with exposure.
Some parties, it is said, hold fully one
hundred thousand dollars worth OF Wins
lows paper, large proportion OF which,
it is feared, is worthless; and the total
amount of paper issued by him is stated
by the Herald TO be two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. The same paper
says that it is quite probable he has sys.
tematically carried on the business Of
forgery, endeavoTirg to take up his
forged paper with other worthless
notes until driven TO the wall. The
Journal has information from relia-
BILE sources that Winslow, with his fam
lily, sailed for Brazil last Saturday. No
efforts have yet been made to arrest him
or discover his movements. 1t will re-
Yuire several days to fully disclose the
extent of his rascality, as several banks
outside of Boston are said to have been
victimiZed.
The Herald tomorrow will state that
among the principal persons whose
names are on Winslow's paper
forged or otherwise, are those Of w. E.
Shaldon, for Sl04 600; Leopold Morse,
for $50, 600, and B. F. Hayes, for S45, 600,
and that the stocks and notes, forged
and genuine, issued by Winslow and
'held as sureties will reach half million
dollars,
