or preparation before or after its use, or
accompaniment of any kind being required
to obtain these desirable results.

Some Fact. About Radical Rascals.

GarfieId's nomination i'm the face OF
his glaring venality is an insult to the
moral sentiment Of Ohio without re-
gard to party. He was caught with
the Credit Mobilier srcip in his pOck-
ct, which was the price paid for his
votes ou that and other jobbery, And
it was proved before the invcsti CATION,
not only by Oakes Ames' testimony
and diaries, but by his own handwrit-
Ing, that he committed deliberate PERU.
ry.lo He swore positively that he had
no interest in the Credit MObilier. and
that the bribe which he received was
only a loan. Yet while the investiga-
ton was actually going on he went to
Okes Ames and claimed that he was
entitled to more money than had been
paid to him for his share OF the COR
ruption, aud made a detailed statement
of the dividends and cash to establish
his demand. The paper was produced
before the Committee, and Oakes
Ames told how il came into his pos
session.
Garfield "a Chairman of the Appro.
priations, carried through $4,000, 900
for the Washington Ring in six weeks,
and was rewarded not only with . fee
of So 600 for corrupt contract pro-
cured by his influence, but with other
substausial tokens of Boss Shepherds
partislity. This man, thus notorious
for venality, for the sale OF his public
trusts, and for fragrant jobbery, is
nominated for Congress by the ma
chine which he has hitherto controlled
through the power of the Administrs-
lion,
lie is an acknowledgey leader of the
party, and In TIE event of success
would aspire to be Speaker of the
House, which is now disgraced by his
presence. 1t is no wonder that hon
est men in Ohio, who followed the
Republican standard while it repre-
sented principles and integrity, are
weary Of supporting rogues and
thieves as leaders, and turn hopefully
to the banner of Reform. ... b..
They see John Sherman, who en-
tered Congress poor, and has pursued
no profession or business since then,
grown into q millionaire with prnce-
ly income, to illustrate how profitable
are the ways of Washington to those
who pull the wires of legislation and
change their financial policy TO suit
the bondholders and combined capit-
al. They see Bingham representing
the United States in Japan, and ap-
pointed right on the heels of the in
vestigatiOn which proved him to be
one of Oakes Ames' chosen confeder-
ates. There is q revolt against these
iniquities now, but there will be rev.
Olution in Novembsr.--[N. Y. Sun. ~

All in the Same Boat.

The honest and virtuous p papers |
and stumpers of the Radical persua-
sion continue to reiterate their vile
SANDERS against Samuel j. Tilden in
the matter relating TO hls income tax
in 1852, though no one pretends to de-
ny that the statement made out by HIM
and returned to the Assessor was, in
every essential particular, in strict
compliance with the instructions of In
ternal Revenue Commissioner. Lewis,
| issued at that time, and which may be
found in Hunts Merchants Magazine
for August, 1862, page 139, and reads
as follows:
! A merchants return Of income
should cover the business of the year
1862, including previous years. Un-
collected accounts must be estimated.
Physicians aad lawyers should include
actual receipts for services rendered in
1862, together with an estimate on un-
realized or contingent income due TO
that year"
1t is here most clearly stated as in
structions to the Assessor and the cit
izen making his return, that it is the
actual receipts for services rendered
in the year 1862, excluding previous
years." with an estimate Of unreal
lied or contingent income due to that
year that was to be returned. But
these lying traducers OF Mr.. Tilden
say that he swore to his answer in the
matter of the St. Louis, Terre Haute
and Alton Railroad, wherein he ac-
knowledged having received in Octo-
ber and November $4,000. But they
forget to state the further fact which
that answer dlscloses, that most of
that amount was earned during the
five years previous. 1t was under these
instructions issued by the proper au-
thorities that noronly Mr.. Tilden, but
every other citizen subject 70 pay an
income tax made his returns. And
according to the doctrine of these de-
fam.rs of Mr.. Tilden, if he was guilty
of perjury and defrauding the Gov
ernment, every body else who made
his returns is guilty of the same high
crime, A party that resorts to such
miserable subterfuges is in straight
ened circumstances.

On the first page we publish de-
tailed account taken from the Charles.
ton News and Courier Of the late riots
in that city. These riotous demOu-
strations were made by Republicans
against a proposed peaceableg demon-
stration of Colorsd Democrats. The
fact Is that the only negroes Of South
Carolina whose civil rights are threat
ened, are those who manifest drsire
to vote the Democratic ticket. These
are assailed, threatened and beaten,
bruised and murdered by Republicans
of their own color, whose prejudices
and brutal passions are wrought upon
by fellows who make merchandise of
their votes. In the late Charleston af-
fair for two days and two nights some
Of the principal streets were held by
the mobs of Radical rnffians, who in
dulged in robbing houses, firing upon
unoffending people, and cruelty abus-
ing every coIored man who proposed
to vote the Democratic ticket, and it
is into the hands Of these desperadoes
that the Administration proposes to
place 10000 stands of arms in order
that the power of the State and the
Nation may be perpetuated for all time
to come.

Some Figures.

Some one asked the editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette to state the sum of
the national debt in 1863 and i'm 1876,
to which the Gazette replies that the
''public debt. according to Secretary
McCulloch's reports Tor 1867, reached
the highest point III August, 1865,
when the total over cash in the Treas
ury was $2,757 ,6S9,57 Az, The debt
statement for August lst, shows the
total debt, over the cash in Treasury
$2,09S, ,3Ol ,3ll O6 These statements
include the legal tender notes, (green-
backs), and all other forms of indebt-
edness. The reduction, therefore, in
the debt which was adjusted at that
time, is 1853. 1886, ,260 81. Now sup
pose we admit all this to be true and
then look II little further. 1t is i'm
portant to the people to know how
much money the Radical leaders col
Iected for the purpose of running the
