or Bristow The value of the Syracuse Con-
vention is not the nomination of Conkling,
but as showing that Grant holds the party
in his hands, even as he once held
the armies of the nation, and that
Conkling commands his Imperial Guard.
If Grant means to run again he is as strong
now as he has ever been, and Conkling will
lead his troops as bravely as Ney when he
carried the flag of Napoleon over the icy
fields of Moscow. If he has any feeling of
magnanimity or appreciation of personal or
political service he can give the command to
Conkling. All depends now upon the i'm
preston the Syracuse Convention will make
upon the President and his followers. If
the mutiny spreads it may be necessary to
select new name. But whatever the name
the power remains where it has been con-
frmed by the election in New Hampshire
and the Convention of Syracuse. Even if
Evarts or Bristow were to be nominated the
Warwick who crowned them would be War
wick still. The alliance between Grant and
Conkling represents the actual driving
power of the party-the horse, foot and ar
tillery. AS to what Mr.. Curtis, with his
bandbox; Mr.. Roberts, with his paste pot,
and the disappointed Congress of the
League smoking room may say, it avails
little. The rank and file are with Conkling,
and Conkling is with Grant. 1t is in their
power to wear or confer the crown. This is
the lesson of Syracuse, and the more closely
our politicians study it the better will they
comprehend the political situation.

VIII Pendleton Explain His Explana-
tfOns

From his latest statement of his connec-
ton with that Kentucky Central Railroad
claim it would appear that the finest speci-
men of q democratic gentleman which the
West can produce has an account to settle
with common honesty on new point. He
defends himself from the charge of hav-
ing taken an improper advantage of his
infant wards by the allegation that when the
claim was allowed the portion of the rail-
road regarded as the property of those
wards had been adjudged by the courts to
be not their property but the property of
certain counties of the State of Kentucky
If it was not to the Bowler children as
owners that the claim was due he did them
no injustice in agreeing to give himself so
large a share of it and if he only wronged
certain counties of Kentucky, why, what are
counties that anybody should be affection
ate and honest on their account? But it is
further reported that though the road was
the property of the counties through which
it ran, and not Of Mr.. Pendleton's wards, that
this gentleman nevertheless paid to these
wards, and not to the counties in question,
that part of the claim which under his
agreement belonged to one or the other. If
it did not belong to his nephews and nieces
he did them no harm by an unequal bar
gain but if it belonged to the counties why
did he pay it to his nephews and nieces?

The Political Outlook.

The outlook of the Republican
party is truly gratifying to every one
who wishes we'll to his country. 1t
is true there have been many abuses
to correct; and much corruption un-
earthed. Some high in position
have suffered in reputation, bring
ing disgrace upon themselves and
their country, but justice has
been promptly meted out to all such
offenders.
In all parties there are men who
are more or less corrupt. 1t always
has been SO, and probably always
will be; yet parties have not always
been prompt in bringing to light
and furnishing the guilty. The crown
ing glory of the Republican par
ty is, that it does not spare its own
members who are caught in their
plundering and nefarious schemes,
no matter how high their social OF
political positions may be.
In strange contrast to this is the
action of the Democracy, in times
past and present. Always trying to
hide and cover up their misdoings,
rarely or never furnishing when
found out, and as in the case of the
Investigations now going on, seek
ing only to unearth so much as they
think will throw discredit upon the
Republicans, and raising the hue and
cry that the Administration party is
alone responsible for all the wrong
doing.
The cry of corruption" has long
been the stock in trade of the De-
mocracy, but surely this hoarse
croaking must cease when one of
the leading Democratic statesmen in
the South (Tombs of Georgia) comes
boldly to the front and proclaims
that not only was bribery and cor
ruption used to carry an election,
but that he himself took q hand IN
the game, and soould do so again!
The action of the Republican par
ty in its investigation of frauds, and
the prompt and summary punish
ment meted out to the offenders,
shows that it is healthful and sound
to the core; that it has the vigor and
energy necessary to place our coun-
try upon basis of sound, and sub
stantial prosperity-fnancially and
politically, and to maintain it in its
proud position.
The principles of the Republican
party are founded upon the broad
basis of equality and justice. It has
proved itself strong in battle, as
well as wise in council, keeping al
ways in wow the great principle that
Government was founded for man,
and that the rights of the humblest
are as sacred and inviolable as those
of the greatest. Arouse, then, Re
publicans! Do your duty to your
country and to our common human
ity, and future generations will rise
up and call you blessed.

Notwithstanding the great atten-
ton recently paid by the Southern
planters to the production OF bread
stufs, the cotton crop is in no way
diminished. The receipts at New
Orleans up to the 18th inst were
1,31S,467 bales, an excess over the
receipts at the same time last year
of $50, 1856 bales. Information from
the country would indicate that fully
as large crop as was planted last
year is already in the ground, and
in addition the corn and small
grain crop have been materially IN
creased. Many planters have taken
a step forward, and ere raising their
own meat. Such a course must
greatly reduce the annual expense

/ ducts, the cotton crop must more

"ScoundreIism and Corrup.
tion.'

Bro. Leeds, of the Georgetown
News, thinks the Republican pros
poets are getting hay, owing to the
corruption disclosed at Washington.
He says:
THE scoundrelism unearthed by
the Congressional investigation com
mittees is sufficient to appal the coun-
try. Corruption deep and wide
spread has been detected in every
department and avenue of the Gov
ernment."
That is very sweeping and reck-
less charge, brother Leeds, which it
would puzzle you to prove, if you
were called upon to do it. lis true,
the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives has been investigating" near
ly the whole session, to the neglect
of other business, and no doubt has
found some corruption, but to say
that it extends to ''every department
and avenue of the Government" is
going far beyond what the facts will
Justify. For instance, the investiga-
ton in the Navy department, where
the N. Y. Sun asserted that immense
frauds had been committed, has ut
terly failed to prove any corruption
against the Secretary of the Navy, or
other high officers in that depart
ment. And so of the investigations
in other departments. The truth is,
the Belknap case is about the only
one of any Importance, where cor
ruption has been fixed upon any high
Republican official in the Admins
tration, in spite of all the great out
cry made by reckless partisan pa
pers like the Georgetown News. No
Republican defends Belknap or any
other rascal. On the contrary, the
Republicans have shown that they
sincerely desire to expose and pun

in their own party, as in the prose.

The Swamp Land Inward
mass

Congressman Vance, of the 11th
Ohio District, has introduced bill
to remove the Land Office and rec
ords of the Congressional and Vir-
ginia Military Land District in this
city to Columbus. The Portsmouth
Times of last week contains long
article commencing the bill. In the
bill itself, as we'll as the article in the
Times, we think we see the handi-
work of Ralph Leete, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Directors of
the Ohio Agricultural College, for
what does Congressman Vance know
or care about the Virginia Military
District! Nothing. Ralph Leete
does care. AS agent of the College
he gets thirty-t three per cent. on all
undiscovered" tracts of land he can
find. He is the prosecutor in all the
cases which have grown out of the
grant of unsold land in this State to
the Agricultural College, and thus
far has reaped the principal benefit
of the act. The records are to be re-
moved for his benefit, where he can
obtain freer access perhaps, than the
officials here allow.
It is to the interest of the
people of the Virginia Military Land
District that the records remain Just
where they are, at least until all the
suits likely to grow out of the Agri-
cultural College are settled. The
records contain the evidence of title
to half the lands in the district, and we
regard it of the utmost Importance
that this evidence be left in hands
where there will no temptation to
tamper with it that it remain in the
hands of the people, and be not turn
ed over to their prosecutors.
