"THE CONFEDERA TIE CON
GRE.S.S."

uHHt'p'
This is the term tho Radical leaders
apply toythc Democratic Congress
which has been ,inearthing oil manner
Of crimes committed nader Grant 4
Co., at spch tremendeus cost to tax
payers, and have humllated every cit
izcn in the land. But for tho election
of Democratic Congress- corrupt
military dcspotism would have been
foisted upon us, and we would have
been handed over TO n band of the most
corrupt men that ever disgraced any
nation. No greater blessing over foil
to the lot of any people, than when
the great majority declared for Dem
ocratic House two years ago.
The editor Of the Baltimore Gazette
in alluding TO the immense blessings
conferred on the people by "the Con
fedcratc House, enumerates some Of
the work In detail, as follows;
|. II has not elected n speaker like
Schuyler Colfax, who used his high Of
fec TO enrich himself, 1t has not
elected speaker like James q. Blaine
who used his position TO influence leg
islation in favor Of railroad subsidies
who acted us the agent Of q firearms
company; who sold rulings and lcgis'
lation for so much cash down in the
shape Of railroad bonds.
2. Since II met last December IL has
not been devisng ways and means,
day after day, to get money out of the
Treasury. On the contrary, II has cut
down the extravagant estimates OF the
departments, and IL the Senate will
pass its bills, has reduced the running
expenses Of the government nearly
forty millions OF dollars per annum
Instead Of making places ion the crea
lures Of the administration, II has abol-
ished every office that was not abso
lutely necessary.
8. 1t has not legislatcd u Freed
mans bank into existence and placed
itin the power Of lot Of men TO steal
the savings of the poor colored men
of the South, amounting to millions ol
dollars. On the contrary, II has taken
the robbers and swindlers who did that
infamous work by the throat, exposed
their rascality and directed the officers
OF the government to send their names
before the grand juries.
4. 1t has gone into President Grants
Cabinet and dragged out of it one Of
his trusted advisers, who abused his
high place, who robbed the dead vet
Grams of the war; who aided in cheat
ing the living soldiers on the plains,
who demanded money for every ap-
pointment he made, and brought him To
trial for his many crimes.
5. 1t has shown how the funds of the
so-callcd departments of justice have
been used for the purpose Of control
ling elections in the South and in the
North; how the President put his
