Bur that Gov Tilden is an honest
exponent of Reform man OF great
ability-a man every way calculated
toefight scoundresism in high places,
we verify believe, and SO does some
of the very best men in this nation
both in and out of the party. Now
MFR. Journal amt this all true?-
Bulletin.
Being an impartial juryman-de-
Gliding upon the testimony offered
how is it possible, in view of the
conflicting testimony presented, for
us to agree to the verdict submitted
by the Bulletin? To do SO would be
injustice. Here is one OF your own
witnesses, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
who testifies as follows:
1t could not but be that man edu-
Gated in cunning, in hypocrisy, in in
iquity, nominated in corruption and
shameless efrontery, even though his
millions could elect him, WOULD GIVE
US THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINIsTRA-
TIoN THE COUNTRY HAS EVER KNOWN.
This is emphatic enough, but it is
not all. The Ironton Democrat,
another of your own witnesses, gives
Tilden this character:
Tilden seeks to buy his way to the
Presidential chair with money stolen
from the masses of the people, and in
the advocacy of doctrines which en-
rich the few and impoverish the
many, he hopes to be elected. He is
a fraud on the people and his so
called reform measure is a sham
New York and New England have
bled the West and South long
enough.
The preponderance of testimony If
to the effect that Tilden is not only
corrupt, but fraud, "and his social
ed reform measure is sham" w
think we are justified in saying NJ
to the question, snow Mr.. JOURNAL
amt this all true" We fear tn
Bulletin does not consider, like
man, but instead, initiates the frog
"goes 1t with a jerk"
ssOf all the funny things that live
In woodland, marsh, or bog,
That creep the ground or fly the air,
The funniest is the frog.
; The frog-the scientifikest
OF natures handiwOrk-
The frog, that neither walks nor runs
But goes it with jerk"

IT is apparent to the commonest
observer, that the democrats in this
Congressional district have NO prin-
ciples whatever on the financial ques-
tion. They are hard money or soft
money, just as they imagine public
opinion seem to demand. They
nominate VANCE on a sofS-money
platform, and endorse TILDEN on a
hard-money platform, seemingly ho-
ping to hold both ends of the line.
They jump from one horse to the
other--from soft to hard-money, and
back again with the dexterity of the
circus rider. You pays your money
and takes your choice. This would
be all right if it was simply intended
to amuse, but in serious mattel
like finance, the thing becomes of toe
much Importance to be lightly con
sidered and passed by. A party
presenting such double-faced phas'
of political action, is unworthy, even
dangerous to be trusted with power
The people should see to it that nj
power is given into its hands. LIE
us be honest in our vote---let it meal
something---in this the Centennia
wear of our existence as a Nation.

sympathy for a Spy.

Democratic papers in this vicinity
are publishing story about Gen.
HAYES receiving $400 of dead sol
dier's money, and sneakingly init
mating that he kept it. Soldiers are
asked to read the story. We join in
asking Union soldiers to study its
characteristics.
Who was this dead soldier, do you
imagine? Col. CABOT, of this city
was a member of the court-martial
which tried and sentenced the soldier
to be shot, and his remembrance oi
the case is worth much more than
the mere charges of democratic edi,
tors. This protege of the Bulletin
and other democratic slang-whangers,
happens to have been a rebel who
came within the Union lines, enlist
ed in the 23d OHIO Regiment, and
then deserted. subsequently he ap.
peared again, and this time as $40C
bounty recruit from Columbus, Ohio.
Providentiaily, no doubt, he was as
signed to the same regiment and com
pany from which he had deserted,
and was Immediately recognized by
the true boys in blue as such de-
serter. He was arrested, tried, con-
demned and shot. He was believed
to have been in fact rebel spy. He
had in his possession two watches
and the $400 bounty money. The
watches were given TO- the Chaplain
of the 18th w. Va. Regiment, and
the money to Gen. HAYES, for return
to the authorities who had paid it.
We suppose it was SO disposed of.
That is the whole of the story,
given to the readers Of these demo-
cratic sheets in such startling head
lines. We must expect these TildeH-
ties to wiring their souls in sympa-
thy over the hard fate of this rebel
spy. 1t wouldn't be in harmony
with Tilden's record if they didn't
do it, Their sympathies go out for
the family of the rebel spy, seeming
ly believing the money ought TO have
been paid to them, instead of to the
Union citizens who paid it. 1t would
be more to their credit and to the
ticket which they support to explain
the Credit Mobilier railroad transac-
tions of Tilden, than to thus attack
Gen. Hayes.

discharge of heavy cannon. Every
one in this building was shocked as
If by current of electricity. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Logback, in making a
mixture containing Chlorate of Pot
ash, Ferrocyanide of Potash and Su-
gar, being in hurry to prepare it
and not wishing to take time to rub
the ingredients up separately, at
tempted to grind them together in a
drug mill. The result was terrific
explosion, by which Mr.. L.. was
frightfully injured about the head
and arms. The bridge of his nose
was cut completely in two, one of his
eyes injured and his arm badly
burned. The room in which the ex-
plosion took place is a complete
wreck. The drug mill was blown to
slivers, all the glass knocked out of
the doors and windows, the plastering
knocked off, and bottles, showcases,
&C., strewn in every direction. The
mixture which Mr.. L. was grinding
contained the following ingredients:
Chlorate of Potash 2 lbs., Ferrocy
anide of Potash, II lbs, Sugar II
lbs. The man who called for it was
in the room at the time, but strange
to say was uninjured. He disap-
peared soon after and has not been
seen since. Mr.. L. Stein was also in
the room at the time and was slightly
burned about the head and face.
Persons who were in this building at
the time of the explosion were so
badly shocked as to become for q
while very sick, myself among the
rest. My nerves are all of culver
yet.
Will not stop to say anything about
the crops, &C., this time, for my let
ter is now long enough, and do not
wish to take too much space in your
columns. Will write again some
time and give you something in re-
gard to this country, providing, of
course, that you're willing to publish.

IT is notable fact, stated by
General Garfield in speech deliver
ed in Congress, few days since,
''that thirty-three separate investi-
cations had been carried on by the
House majority in search of some sa-
worry morsel with which to impreg-
nate the air in the coming election,
and that none Of them had found
one dollar stolen from the Treas

by Republicans, there was neverthe-

loss the democratic party is respon-
sible. These investigations cost
about 100000, and that the tax-pay-

My DEAR SIR---I beg to present to
your attention the case of Samuel j.

is in great need of a small appoint
ment in your department, for which
he has applied. He would be con-
tent with something for time, of not
very high rank. You know him SO
well that / need add nothing. He
used to be a very efficient and useful
acorker, and is an entirely reliable
man, and I should be personally
glad if you could help him.
Yours truly,

LOYALTY to the Republican party
secured shares of stock in the cele-
brated Credit Mobllier, by which the
hard working people of the land were
swindled out of fifty-five millions Of
dollars outright.-Bwlletin.
The Bulletin is most unfortunate
in its suggestions. AS we said some
weeks since, crow eating is destruct-
i've of the perceptive faculties. When
ever it attempts a blow at the Re-
publicans, there is a rebound, and
Tilden receives the stroke square be-
tween the eyes. Calling to mind
the Credit Mobilier matter, is one of
the unfortunate suggestions of the
Bulletin. Samuel j. Tilden was the
attorney of the Credit Mobilier
swindle, and one of the stockholders
in the Union Pacific Railroad to the
extent of $4,000. He pronounced
the scheme lawful.
There is no guess work about Til
denis connection with the Credit Mo-
bilier swindle. The proof is contained
in the report of the Congressional Sc
IecJ Committee, No. 2, Feb. 20, 1878.
The proof is in the shape of sworn
testimony. On page 742 of said re-
port may be found evidence of the
$4,000 in stock held by Samuel j.
Tilden. Now as to his connection as
attorney. On page 81 may be found
the testimony of G. S. Bushnell, one
of the incorporators and original
Directors of the Union Pacific Com
pany. Here is what he testifies to:
20. Who have been the attor-
neys of the Union Pacific Company
and of the Credit Mobilier? A.
Messrs. Tracy, Omstead & Co. have
been from the first the steady coun-
sci of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. They have had the as
sistance in behalf of both the Union
Pacific Company and the Credit Mo-
bilier of Messrs. -, Samuel j. Til
den and Others"
John B. Alley was another wit
ness. Here is his testimony:
20. And, further, 1 understood
you to say that you were instructed
by eminent counsel upon whose ad-
vice you relied, that the course you
took was in compliance with law?
A. Yes, sir.
20. Have you seen, or do you
know whether that opinion of eminent
counsel is in existence now in wri-
ting? A. do not know. 1 do not
know whether it was given in wri-
ting.
20. Was it given to you by these
eminent counsel2 A. Mr.. Tilden,
l know, told me that he regarded it
as compliance with the law.
80. Was that advice given to you
personality A. Not to me particu-
larly. l was talking with him, and
he said, incidentally, that he regard
ed it in that light"
That Mr.. Alley is not mistaken
as to the views of eminent counsel,
and who said eminent counsel was.
is shown by the testimony of Oakes
Ames. Here is the report of his ex-
animation:
