a letter from Grant, written about the
time Gen. Scott wrote his famous letter,
'.Let the Maynard Sisters depart i'll

to the confederates. This letter has been
kept secret until now, and it will only be
used in case Il. G. Frost the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Sd district,
is attacked on account of his fathers con-
federate record. A dispatch to the Chica-
go Times says: The existence of this let
ter is an indisputable fact land neither the
president nor his friends dare deny it,
Grants personal habits during his resi-
dence with the Dents had been so bad
that his offer was not accepted. and about
five months afterward he went to Spring

laneous, comprising payment for foreign
service, &C., never ran before the war to
more than S19,000,OO0. When the war
came on it naturally increased in 1868 to
S21 100000; in 1868, to S25,000,000; in
1864, with gold al 250, to S27,000,000.
Did we not have a right to expect that,
when the war closed, this expenditure
would recede rain to something like the
old time figure? What is the truth? Ten
years after the war closed, when gold has
gone back to II, this expenditure, instead
of going back to the old figure of SIS, 9,000,-
600 is S72 100000, and for the last five
years it has averaged S6S,000, 900 year.
What has become of the excess of more
than S40,0O0,000? Why, it has gone to
enrich the horde of public plunderers who
ir Iest the capital of the country. Inview
of this state of affairs the time has now
come when simply selfish considerations,
required for material int erests, must lead
us to seek change.

The people of this country stand dis
graced before the world, because of the
corruption of the republican party. When
Grant was elected the republicans laid
the corruptions of their party upon the
innocent shoulders of Andrew Johr son.
They promised that fraud should cease
and that the offenders should be driven
from office. They said there was still
fraud uncorrected, but they promised ci-
vil-seryce reform that should be based
upon honesty and integrity. The people
have trusted them twice and had been de-
ceiyed. They now wish to be trusted
again and make as great promises as ever.
Their non-fulfilled premises have lost
them the respect Of the people. Gen.
Grant had been the tool in the hands
of the most corrupt clement of his party
The people should be afraid if Hayes
shonld be elected he will not have influ.
ence enough in the government to carry
on his ideas of reform fhe has any.
The republican party claim that they
are capable of self-refornation. As an
instance of republican methods of admin
istration the Sanborn contracts stare us in
the face. When the facts regarding these
contracts were made known, public indig-
nation compelled the president to remove
| Secretary Richardson from his place in
the cabinet, but soon after the president
J gave him life office as judge of claims.
The party in power concealed the pecu-
lations Of their secretary of war for four
years.
The resignation of Belknap was prompt
ly accepted by the president. Not SEN
ator had doubt of his henious guilt, but
on miserable techn cality "A republican
senators acquitted him of the grave char
ges made against him. Perhaps Gen.
Grant would reinstate him in the cabinet
This was the way the republican party
have kept ttheirpromise ofreform. Secretary
Bristow had desire to expose and punish
corruption. But his efforts were thwarted
by the party. The president said 'Iei
no guilty man escape But his policy
changed when guilty men We're traced
into the white house, This re .orm see

Mr.. Birds Speech,

The appearance of Mr.. Bird on Satur-
day night was unfortunate and an i'll
omen for his pal ". The very elements
seemedto conspire and frown upon the un-
natural eomT:nglipg. There were good
many curiosity seekers in the Hall during
the meeting, but even they were not of
the leading republican citizers. Most of
those who dropped in were heartily DIS
gusted and soon took their departr"e. Mr..
Bird himself labored as though he was
panied at what was before him. AID we
believe This to be so, for it co; responds
Withal The givin"S out ofMr. Birds views.
lie has frequently been head to express
his contempt for the people at Wasl l'rT-
on, and his aversion to the society of ne
Sr2es is so well lown that no one can
fall TO believe that he felt Il disgust for the
very meh whose votes he was soliciting.
Why Ii ives never known to visit II
gTOes, and if man We're to tell him he
kept thd'r company he would be likely to
receive black eye. Such is now the
anomylous and strange condition the Re-
publican pa, y he's been forced into by
the constant increase and combination Of
the intelligent voters OF the country in the
Democratic ranks. But without til re-

He knows that about one half the yo .es he
hopes to get will be those of negroes, who
know not what they vote for. Mr.. Bird
said in his speech that he received s.three
fourthsF of his practice from Democrats.
This is perhaps because the Democrats
understood he was opposed to the war
and opposed to the Radicals and their
negroism. And is to some extent proof
that he was dissatisfied with the pai w.
Bat redently IA eat change has come
over the spirit of his d"eam,' and although
he does it reluctantly he has given him
self wholly to theGrant party and its negr,
allies. We presume Daniel Hamilton vii
accompany him on his stumping tou

between towns may be done at nigh
when the color will not be distinguished

friends OF the candidate and h;mse
around among the notables. Daniel " !.

date happy time, but hope his vot wi

ion o. .nearly all whom we have hear

The Philadelphia Times, the Chicago
Tunes, the New \ ork Erening Post, the
Boston Hcrdld,the Springfield Republican
and in fact all the independent papers
and the decent Hayes journals, have pro-
nonnced Judge Sinnott's reply to the New
York Times charges against Mr.. Tilden
to be complete and satisfactory. And now
comes the fair and able Nation and care
fully reviews the case, demonstrating the
goundlessness Of the assaults upon Gov
ernor Tilden's integrity. The Nation,
while supporting Hayes, does not think it
necessary to lie about his opponent. The
Nation brings out with great fullness one
point which should be borne to mind in
considering the subject. 1t is as follows.
Bait. Gazette:
The Times proof Of perjury and fraud
on the part Of the democratic candidate
for president. consisted, III the first place,
ota facsimile ofMr. Tilden's sworn return
OF income for the year 1862, which the
Times called his ''false atiidavit,n the oatl
(the form of which it is important in con-
sidering the charge of perjury, to bear in
mind) being not that the sum returned
was his income, but that it was so much
OF his income as was ''Subject to dn incont,
tar under tie ercise lars Of the Unitet
StdteS." The amount sworn to was ST.
lis. The words which we have printed
in italics should not be left out of sight
for they make the oath not an affidavit a
to the facts OF the total income of Mr.
Tilden, but an oath as to construction
of law, or mixed question of fact am
law. The two things are quite distinc
A mans entire income might be S107.11
and yet, after daducting from it whateve
paid tax directly together with losse.

might easily turn out to be $7,l1S. Mo:

Mr.. Tilden have apparently been led I
believe that he returned $7,11S as h
whole income, and that the smallness
