administration of James Buchanan, from
1857 to 1861. The last administration
elected by the republican party was that of
Ulysses $. Grant, and no became president
IN 1869, aud entered upon his second term
in 1878. We have no particular admira-
ton for General Grant, and We think that
his administration could be improved upon
in several respects--we never expect to see
an administration that cannot be improved
uponi we prefer, however, to trust Cover
nor Hayes and the republican party, rather
than Governor Tilden and the democracy,
to make the mprovement-but let us see
how the fraud and corruption, the "steal-
"ines" or tho last democratic and the last
republican Administrations compare.
We have already called attention 10 the
fact that The defalcatious in the collection
of the revenue, during Buchsnan's admin
istration, were sixty-two cents on the
thousand dollars, while during Grants first
term they were thirty-seven cents, and,
during his second term, only twenty-five
cents and that on the thousand dollars of
disbursements, the defalcations during
Duchanan's administration were six dollars
and nineiy-eight cents, AID under Grant's
frot term forty cents, and during his sac-
ond term eniy twenty-six cents; but, this
morning, We desire to call attention to the
gross amount Of the "dtcaling"
During Buohanans administration, the
gross amount Of collections from duties on
customs was something over enc hundred
and eighty-four millions Of dollars, and the
losses or defslcaiions in collection were
over thirty-eight thousand dollars. Dur
ing the entire first term Of Grants admin
istration and the first two years and half
Of his second term, the collections were
over one thousand one hundred and twenty
five and a half millions of dollars, while
the defalcatiOns or losses were less than
twenty-five Thousand dollars. So that
while the republicans collected nearly
seven times as much from duties on GUS
toms, their "stealings" were more than one
third less in actual amount
The collections from "miscellaneous'
sources, including land office, etc., during
Buchanans administration, we're something
ess than thirteen millions of dollars, and
he detalCatons in the collection thereof
rver one hundred and ffty-fve thousand
dollars The miscellaneous" collections
under Grants first six years were nearly
one hundred and thirty millions Of dollars,
and the Losses in the collection thereof one
hundred and forty-tbree thousand dollars.
So thai. IN collecting ten ,'ro7 thn amount,
the republicans "stole" twelve thousand
lrs less than the democrats did in col
Letting the lesser amount.
Under Buchauans administration, the
gross amount of revenue collected from oil
sources was S312, 350. G19JC, and the de-
falcations in the collection we're one hun.
dred and nincty-four thousand dollars.
During the six years IF Grants administra.
lion, the collections, from the same sources.
were $3,212,031, sos IS, and the Icislca.
