TIE Republicans are jubilant in the
belief that Bristow acted "squarely' in
the mule business. Some newspaper
correspondent had intinated thatthere
was something wrong about the trans
action. For the sake of the country,
we hope Mr. Bristow's reputation as an
honest man will not be snllied. We
don't want foreign nations to be able to
point the finger of scorn at our cabinet
without having the opportunity oftrot-
ting cut Rristow hugely placarded as an
''honest man.

The shares of the profits drawn by Or
vile Grant from SO many OF the from :
tier posts, and from some of the con
tracts for furnishing supplies, inevitably
lead to the conclusion that his relation
to the President was the cause which
secured him those profits. As the
1'iba'ae states it, he had only to say
to the recipients of large gains "Give
me half your profits or my brother
will turn you out, and his demand was
gratified. And what does Grant him-
self care about it all !? Nothing. His
decisive speech, "Let no guilty may
escape, is worth no more than that
other idle declaration of his -'Let us

WE publish the call of the State
conservative committee for a convention
to be held in the city of Richmond on
Wednesday, May 3lst, 1876. 1t is im-
portant that our county sh ould be rep
resented by the best men. We want
harmony in our ranks. The issue at
stake is important. The ensuing cam,
palgn is to decide whether the oppres-
sive system of government is to contin~
ne, or whether it is to be displaced by
one which. by placing honest men at the
head of important department s, will de.
tend and protect the over-burdened tax
payers of the country. 1t would be inn
possible for as to publish in full an emu
meration of the frauds and populations
which have disgraced almost every de-
partment of the government under the
the present administration. The enc
my are panic stricken. The blows VIII CHI
the democratic House have inflicted,
have disorganized them. They are
abandoning their strong holds but have
not given up the struggle. They are
making powerful effort, by bribery, as
IN New Hampshire,t to hold their ground,
but their utter defeat is not only rossi-
bic but very probable. Let us stand to
orr party and by determined and uni
ted action, wrest the government from
the hands of those who have trampled
under foot the constitution and bv their
knavery and corruption have disgraced
the country.

the policy of panslavism was not a
chimera, but an astounding fact. Upon
this fact the Russian throne was found
ed. Upon this fact Russian power, so
ignOble in its origin, had grown and
spread, until the Car, as the imperial
head of the Slavic race, has become the
absolute ruler over one-seventh part of
the whole habitable globe and over
eighty-one millions of men.
1t is true that within the limits OF
their Empire there are no less than
eighty-three tribes making up this I'M
mense population. But every one OF
those tribes is still a stem of the same
Slavic stock, whose branches COM
prise at least one hundred and twenty
five millions of living descendants. 1t
is this race who form that great lmpe-
rial Confederacy; whose whole gigantic
Empire is of one speech, of one blood;
whose only monarch is the Russian
Autocrat; whose one religion is the
Greed OF the Greek Catholic Church.
and whose supreme pontiff is that same
Russian Gar. And such is the in
tensity of devotion with which the
whole Slavic race regard the Russian
dynasty that the whole thought and
desire of the outlying branches OF that
race are TO be united with their kins-
men under the shadow Of that great
Panslavistic throne.
And therein lies the secret spring Of
the insurrection now raging in European
Turkey. The SerVians, the Roumanians
the Montenegrins, the Bulgarians, are
all members of the great family of the
SlaYi. Fourteen millions of the Turkish
subjects are of the Slavic race. TC
Russia they appeal, as to the great de
fender of their race, for protection from
Turkish barbarism. In the persisten
prosecution of that hereditary policy o.
PanslaYism that has made the Russian
Empire what it is, the Car can not be
deaf to that appeal. His own people
the Slavic kinsmen Of the Servians, will
not permit him to abate one jot OF yea
in that Panslavistic policy. And it il
on account of that principle of Panslav'
ism, more than from any political con
sideration, that dreadful war is now
impending over the Eastern world.

seekers after knowledge, through the
medium of your paper. how long the

have to be stationed in State before
they can vote, or can they vote immedi-

We know of no law authorizing United
States troops in the regular service to
vote anywhere while posted under
orders. Sucn soldiers do not acquire a
residence in any State where they may
be stationed under military orders. The
voting done during the war was by
virtue of State laws in favor of the
volunteers, and had no application to
soldiers OF the regular army.
