neglect and brutal treatment, for a
series of years, of the poor lunaties
under the charge of Nichols. The
direct appointment was made by the
Commissioners of the District; but
as these three miserable corruption
lists were appointed by Grant, hold
their Office (salary 5000 a year. and
stealings limited only by their fear
of detection) during his pleasure,
and would not make move in any
direction that they thought would be
displeasing TO their master, Grant
himself must be held responsible for
the indecent act. Indeed, am cred
IDLY informed that Nichols received
the appointment because it was init
mated to the Commissioners that
Grant would be pleased to see his
personal friend receive it.
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
will probably be controlled by the
three great States of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, which must
approve and give their electoral vote
to the candidate, TO elect him. New
York is, ostensibly, for Conkling,
whom Blaine christened a turkey
gobbler" ten years ago, and whose
chance of being President is about
equal to that of the late Julius Cesar.
Pennsylvania is, ostensibly, for Hart
ranft, Chief 1.-the Addition Division
and Silence Issngiof Kdinblc, Matkcy
& Co.; but WHO is, in reality, n mere
figureheadto enable Simon Cameron
TO play the IS votes of the Keystone
State for good stake. Ohio has put
up Hayes with a similar object in
view, the Sherman influence count
ing on properly directing the vote, of
that State after the temper of the
convention has been asccrtained.-
The chances are that through Sher-
man, Cameron and Conkling, all enc
mics of Blaine, these three great
States will unite, ultimately, on the
successful man, and that he will have
to make his terms with "old Winnie
bago" beforehand, which will be
nothing less than seat in the cabi-
net for his, Don Cameron, chip of
the old block" B.

The Situation.

Almost every mail brings new dis
closures Of fraud on the part of some
Government official and no wonder
it is universal when such wholesale
stealing is carried on ut our National
Capital. The Democratic House has
lifted the veil which has so long
screened the corruption and rotten
ness of the dominant party and the
evidence disclosed is sufficient to
bring the blush OF shame to the face
of every American citizen.
Official after official has fallen be-
fore the scrutiny of the invcstiga-
ting committees, Notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts of the Administers
ton to protect the evil doors. The
Radical Press cry out: political Cap
ital." Itwould be gratifying, indeed,
to accept this as truth, for the dis
grace is a national one, but the evil
dence in some cases is too plain to
admit of a shade of doubt. The
White House, itself, has had to de-
liver up to justice its most trusted
officials, dCep-dyed in villainy, dead
to every princip pie of honesty.
And tho end is not yet; what it
will be is at present difficult to tell,
Grave charges have been made most
~ against Presiden Grant, himself
But, the time is fast approaching
when an opportunity will be given
for us to rescue the government from
the hands of scoundrcls and thieves
who have riotcd in possession of their
ill.gottcn gains while they ground
the taxpayers to the earth with
heavy taxes,
The country demands a reform
and honest governmcnt-and if we
mistake not the character OF the
American people they will have it,
