BRIsFOW's MULE CASE.

Except in the case of George II. Pen
dleton, no man has had SO damaging a
case made against him as has Bristow, in
the mule matter; yet the Bristow organs
seem to have lost all sense and judgment
about this case
A few days ago the following dispatch
appeared in the Cincinnati Commercial
Look at the strange headlines, when con-
trasted with the facts contained in the
dispatch:
THE sTUFFIEG KICKED OUT OF THAT MULE
sToRY-sECRETARY BRIsTow STILL AHEAD
ON POSITIVE TESTIMONY.
The mule story came up again to-day,
and the result is another victory for
Bristow. Messrs. Thompson and Spen-
Ger, Of Kentucky, were the long and anx-
iously expected witnesses who were to
crush Bristow, by showing that the mule
claim was fraudulent. Thompson was a
partner with Groome in buying the
mules. He testified that in brief the
claim was fraudulently exaggerated, and
in this he was confirmed by Spencer; but
they also testified that when Bristow was
applied to to take hold of the case, he
said that he wanted nothing to do with
the facts, that he would not engage to
argue any questions of facts, but that he
would argue the legal points as to wheth-
er the adjudication was q proper one to
reopen; that he did this without any
knowledge Of the facts, and that this was
all he had to do with it. The result is
quite annoying to the Kill-Bristow gang.
who expected evidence to show that
Bristow had knowledge that the claim
was fraudulent The evidence simply
shows that he declined to do anything in
the claim agency line, and that he was
employed solely as lawyer Mr..
Groome. the principal in the case, is in
Europe, and the conspirators hope 70
take advantage of his absence to smirch
the claim, aud through it the Secretary.
But they are met at the threshold by
positive testimony from their own wit
nesses that Bristow had actually no in.
formation as to whether the claim was
just or fraudulent, and did not attempt
to establish its merits except on the
purely technical point alluded to-
Now mark. Bristow did not want tc
know anything about the facts in the
case. OF course not The facts were al
against his case. The parties admit thai
the claim was fraud upon the Govern
ment, and yet Bristow was careful to ex
clude the facts in this fraudulent claim
which he procured for these swindlers
and for thus having the Government
the people, swindled out of this large
sum, he received nearly eleven thousand
dollars, which was part of this same
fraudulent claim. And yet this is the
only man in the United. States who il

Some two or three weeks ago, during
the debate in the House on the Kill
bourne habeas corpus case, Blaine and
Tucker had a debate, in which Blaine
was successful in getting the States Rights
rebel from Old Virginia to admit that
Virginia squire has the power to rifle the
United States mail, and destroy aboli-
ton documents. We quote from the
proceedings in the House:
Mr.. BLAINE (Rep Of Ne, who was
occupying a chair in the area on the
Democratic side, inquired how Judge
could be made to do anything by the
House Of Representatives
Mr.. TUCKER Dem. J, of Virginia
The gentleman is no lawyer, as he has
often shown in the House, laug ghter
on the Democratic side ]-and the gen
tleman is, perhaps, unaware that when a
Judge does not execute his duty he may
be made to do so.
Mr.. BLAINE-By order OF the House7
Mr.. TUCKER-No sir; not by order
of the House-that shows again that the
gentleman is no laWyer-but by manda-
mus from the higher Court, which will
compel him to exercise the Jurisdiction
which he is reluctant to do. | never
knew q man to disturb nest but there
was a great ruffling about it. If my
amendment is adopted, it will present
the question to the court in such a man
ner that the Judge can not avoid decid-
ing the question on the facts appearing
in the petition.

know why the gentleman from Virginia

much anxiety in the remarks addressed |

President Grant sent a message to the
rebel brigadiers last week which made
them squirm. They had adopted reso-
luton inquiring Of him about his absence
from Washington City. His message
substantially tells them that it is none OF
their business where he goes. He gives
these traitors heavy dig, when it is re-
membered that their rebel army besieged
Washington City during the administra-
tion of Grants immediate predecessor.
He says to them:
Had the efforts of those recently in re-
bellion against the Government been sue
cessful in driving late President of the
United States from Washington, it is
manifest he must have discharged his
functions, both civil and military, else
where than in the places named by the
law for the seat Of Government.

Dom Piatt, editor of the Capital. pa
per published at Washington City, has
been one of the loudest howlers for hon
esty and reform. It now comes out that
he used his influence to get the Govern
ment to purchase patent moth EXTERN
inator, for which influence he was to get
Eve per cent. of the money obtained. He
then demanded ten per cent, and when
he had thus obtained about $4,000, he
demanded fifteen per cent. To this de-
mand the moth man demurred. when
Piatt represented to the Government au-
thorities that the whole thing was q
fraud and swindle, which it no doubt
was. and the contract was revoked. When
Piatt failed to get as much as be wanted
of the plunder, he was determined to
to break down the other Gwindler.
We believe Piatt is jealous of Bristow

President Grant has again been inn
posed upon in making an appointment.
Young Aleshire, cousin to j. L. Vance,
failed at West Point, and his friends
then sent him to school, and now he has
passed. Thereupon the friends OF a

prevailed upon President Grant to ap-
point Carter as cadet at large. This ap-
pointment ought not to have made. We
