BASTARD REFoRM.- The editor Of
the Chicago Times, in alluding to the
would-be Vice President, Wheeler's
letter Of acceptance, says: "Tho letter
is another illustration of the cowardice,
time-scrving, and obtuseness of we'll
informed public man. Though he has
seen his party swept aside because of
its ofienses, though he has seen those
offenses repeated, though be has seen
the men who committed them escape
the torments of punishment, this man
pretcnds in the name of God and good
government to take up the banner of
bastard reform to lead to the purifica-
tion which be and his party have made
necessary, purifcation whose very
first condition demands his and their
obliteration from the further possibili-
ty of misgovernmont.

WHAT A PITY.-The Radical editors
and stumpers have an awful time of
explaining the overwhelming defeat of
their party in Alabama at the recent
election. The Philadelphia Enquirer
weeps ovGr the result in this way:
alabama increases her Democratic majority
very considerably, and elects Legislature that
will send Democrat to the Senate in place Of
the doubtful Spencer, who is mainly to blame for
the large Democratic gains in his State. The re-
suit was not unexpected, but II Is little surpris-
ing that the whole mass Of the colored people
should have either RETAINED from voting or voted
for the Democrats on the State ticket, although
they had the excuse that the Republican ticket
was headed by Democrat, but one who was a
declared friend Of the black people. This was
spenccr's last fraud, and II has rebounded on the
Republican party,'which should have cast him
of long ago"
The editor had better state tho whole
truth on this occasion and say that the
Democrats did the mischief with the
assistance of "our colored brethren"
who like other people arc tired of be-
ing robbed.

ANOTHER svINDLE

The testimony taken before the
House Committee ON Indian Affairs,
concerning the management Of the
Indian department under Grants Ad-
ministration, affords q remarkable rovc-
lation of depravity. Some of il sheds
new light npon the character Of that
eminent Christian statesman, the Rev.
u. p. Smith, late Commissioner OF In
dian Affairs, who at present is engaged
in missionary work among the heather
OF Africa, under the auspices Of the
American Missionary Association. II
seems that when Smith was appointed
Indian Commissioner, he was behind
hand in his accounts as agent for tho
Chippewa Indians to the amount of
s250,0OO or 100000. After taking
possessions Of bis new office, he pro
cecded to settle bis accounts with the
Government in an original and peculiar
manncr He brought to Washington
niece who had acted us clerk for
him ut the Chippewa Agency, appoint
ing her TO u 81 600 clcrkship, and this
relative arranged and fixed up his nc
counts 70 his entire satisfaction, after
which they were sent TO another clerk
to examine and adjust. Thus Smith,
representing the Government as Indian
Commissioner, passed upon bis own
accounts as Indian agent, and by Hma-
nipuhting the whole thing and fixing
II 10 suit himself" TO use the words Of
witness who has had many years
experiences as clerk in the Indian
Office, he quietly expunged deficiency
Of from two hundred and fifty TO three
hundred thousand dollars. This is
only one instance of the financial acute.
ness displayed by Smith, out of many
that have been investigated by the
committee; but the others are equally
creditable TO the late Commissioners
ability to take good care Of number
one, while engaged in the arduous
work Of outstanding the American
Indian. With a knowledge Of the true
character Of the reverend gentlcman's
labor among the Indians, the sym
ppthies Of the public will undoubtedly

who are now undergoing his pious
ministrations. II they have idols Of
silver and gold, Smith will undonbtod-
ly succeed in making the misguided
heatben give them up.--Parker Journal.

THEIR LETTERS or ACCEPT
ANCE


readers. The editor of the New York
Sun, who was q member of Lincoln's
Cabinet and ono Of the ablest secular
writers Of the day, in alluding to these
messages to the people, on the issues OF
the day says:
Gov. Tilden's letter of acceptance is
the strongest, clearest, ablest, most
statcsman-like, most suggestive, and
most satisfactory political document
that has been laid before the public
within long period Of time. II dis
plays breadth OF mind, keenness ofper-
ccption, and iulncss OF knowledge in
the discussion Of the great political
questions Of present public interest
II is agreeable, in these times, to perusc
q paper Of such character from pub
lie man. Hayes small, narrow, and
common place letter was a marked
contrast TO il in every respect.
Gov. Tilden's letter is as bold as il is
pcrspicuous. lie shirks none Of tho
issues of the day. lie INDUCES IN no
evasions, tricks OF language, or pro
tences of any kind. His friends will
be strengthened by the study OF it, and
his assailants viii find in 1t no point
which they can shake.
Gov. Tilden accepts, strengthens,and
illustrates the onsimportant articles
of the st. Louis platform on which he
stands and TO the more important OF
them no gives a force and deiiniteness
which are made all the more striking
by his elucidation of tho. ways in which
they can be practically applied in the
conduct of the Government.
He first touches upon the question
of retrenchment and reform in the nd
ministration, showing the evils of the
extravaganza and wastefulness that
have made necessary the enormous
taxation by which the country is de-
pressed, and pointing to the struggle in
the House TO reduce expenditures un-

Executive. He would deal practically
