quite content to join in the movement

There is big streak of silver in the
cloud that has lowered upon the Repub-
lican party since the Belknap matter
came to the surface. Democratic states
men have been falling like sheep with
the rot, and now Mr.. Hill, of Georgia is
preparing another speech.-Giobe Demo-

The more returns come from New
Hampshire the more complete appears
the victory for the Republicans in that
State Those Democrats who endeavor
to make this trifing matter simply
make themselves ridiculous. The New

The New York Herald, which has been
very bitter about the Belknap develop
ments, says: mo remedy for the evils
from which we suffer could be worse than
that of handing this country over to a
party that is the fag end of the Confed
eracy that believed Andersonvile was
modern Garden of Eden, and regards
JEFF Davis as a martyr and patriot. This

announced that "the bride was given
away by her distinguished kinsman, the
Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, of Ohio"

the Presidency. He gave away Mrs.
Belknap and Mrs. Belknap gave away
Belknay ard Belknap gave away Heis-
ter Clymer; and Hester Clymer gave
away the whole Democratic House. 1t
was the most remarkable give away of
modern times.
This Pendleton business has a nasty
look. First, the revamping of an old,
disallowed clam: second, its easy prog
ress TO payment by the help of Pendleton
and the compliance of Belknap; third,
the receipt by Pendleton of eighty or
ninety thousand dollars for doing only
what, if the claim was just, he should
have done without reward: fourth, the
taking of three fifths of this money at
the expense of the patrimony of his own
sisters children, of which he was the
administrator. York San.
The character of the claim, the cool
half for the nominal labor of getting it,
which Mr.. Pendleton pocketed, and the
relation of that rapacity either to the
patrimony of his wards or to the interests
of the stockholders, whose exemplary,
fiduciarv officer he was held to be, reveal
Mr.. PendletOn in light we shall not
try to defend, especially as he swears he
thinks he needs no defense at all. We
