GRANTS DEPOSITION,

He has done it. The President of
the United States has solemnly sworn
before the Chief Justice of the. U United
States that Babcock never influenced
him, and never t. led to influence him,
to appoint any of the whisky ring
officials; and further, that he never in
fuenced or sought to influence Linn to
revoke the celebrated order by which
the Treasury Department sought to
send Joyce away rom St. Louis SO
that an honest investigation might be
had. The President solemnly swears
that the revocation of that order was
his own work, and that he did it to lull
suspicion and put the st. Louis ring
off its guard SO that it's members
might be the more easily caught. The
President further solemnly swears
he believes Sabcock is good man,
and true; and further, that he is salts
fed with Bab's explanations about the
Sylph and other dispatches sent to St.
Louis.
Upon all of this we have only~two
words to say. First, the question now
Is, not whether Grant is satisfied, but
whether the jury Can be satisfied that
Bah is a Innocent. verdant fool, the
victim of sharpers who were in high
favor with Grant and the Radical
party. and who Babcock still asserts
to be innocent.
Secondly, we have to express our pro-
found surprise at the reason given at
this late day for the revocation of
that exchange order. Grant is certain
ly reticent man; strangely reticent,
considering his known desire to acquit
Babcook, or he would long ago have
given this simple explanation of his
course, an explanation that if given at
an earlier day would have done much
to relieve Babcock of the suspicion of
guilt that has attached to him. If it
be true that the Secretary of the
Treasury in issuing the order and the
President in revoking it had precisely
the same end in view, that is to say
the de- lection of the St Louis thieves,
it seems st. ange the President should
have remained silent so long when it
was apparent to all the wor'd that
the seeming variance between him
and the Treasury department was
subiecting his friends to such
grave suspicious. In these days of
fraud, pecuIation and corruption, in
these days of official robbing and steal
ing no man can with impunity permit
a cloud of suspicion to rest npon his
character if he has within his reach
the means to clear it up. Whatever
may be thought of the effect of the
Presidents reticence in regard to
himself there caa be but one opinion
in regard to its effect upon his per-
sonaI friend and private secretary. It
is strange that man so devoted to his
friends as the President is. should have
remained silent SO long.

Are we not a nation ? Certainly we
are, and great and glorious and
brave and magnanimous one. True,
we have had a narrow escape, but the
dark cloud that hung like pail over
the horizon of our happiness has dis
appeared and VIC are at peace. The
great bone of contention that threat
ened TO disrupt our very vitals has
been removed and we are happy. It
was sad but thrilling sight to see
the fate of an empire, vast empire,
mighty nation depending upon the
event of a dispute as to whether dead
boy baby ashamed John Wilkes Booth
or plain John Wilkes. And the dis
pute is not yet settled, but the fate of
the e1npire no longer hangs in sus-
pense. The nation survives. As for
the boy he died AID was buried years
ago; and, as for the boys father. he
has resigned his position of Clerk to
the Congressional House Committee
of Ways and Means. And there is an
end of the matter. The country
breathes freer. Are we q nation !?
Certainly we are a nation. What's in

WHAT WE PAY EDiE REPUiRI.f
GAN RgJE.F.

The Nashville An1ericon saws the
imperative nee, 'ssity for tha removal Of
the Republican party from the control
of the Government lies in it's reckless
extravaganza and prodigal waste of
the public monvs. Aside from the
enormous strain upon the producing
classes by reason of the financial policy
which requires Il gold interest upon g
vast and alarming'y Y accumulating pub
lie debt, there is the burden upon tax
payers to provide for current govern
mental exp: nses a sum almost fabulous
in comparison with the COST of the
simpler and less extravagart and less
corrupt system of government, that ex-
listed before the party low in power
assumed control of our affairs. Leav-
ing ou the cost of the Government du-
ring the four years of the civ
war, the Republicans in autho "
have expended within the past ten
years, and inclusive of the estimates
for this year, $l79, 166, 4S0 80 more
than was required for ordinary gov
ernmental expenses for the entire
seUenty-ttUO gears preceding the late
aOar! And thus far into the prest Mt
Congress every measure of retrench-
ment instituted by the Democrats has
met with stubborn Republican opposi-
ton.
The aggregate cf ordinary expendi
lures cf the Gpvernment, exclusive of
the public debt, for 1560-'61, was S62.-
616,O55 IS, and the aggregate of ordi-
nary Government expenses for 1874 IT'S
was $l7l ,529,948 27-an increase of
$l0S, ,913, 1872 49. In the same ratio, the
Republican party, if permitted 70 retain
control of affairs another decade would
increase the ordinary current ex-
penses over one hundred million dol
lars IN excess of the stupendous sum
now required. And yet they neither
wish to relinquish control nor permit
reduction. These figures, together
with the daily Indictment and convic-
tion OF Republican officials and party
leaders, of robbery and conspiracy to
defraud the public, furnish the people
food for refectionn. between now and
the November election. There are in
leaks in the public treasury
that cannot be discovered or stopped
until the party in power is removed.
The very life of the country depends
upon a change of rulers.
Wilmington journal., 1876-02-18

The st. Louis correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial relates q good
story now circulating in st. Louis,
which may serve to illustrate the dag
nosis of Rabcock's case made by his
counsel. One of the attorneys was met
by q friend and asked how he was get
ting along, how the chances were for
his client. "Well." he said, SIT re :
minds me of the young doctor called
in at birth, and who, being question
ed as to how his patients were doing.
said: Very well; the child is dead, the
mother will die, but think I can save
the old man." The Baltimore Gazette
doubts very much whether the coun-
sci, twelve abreast, can "save the old
man." The old man could only have
saved himself by going out to St.Louis
and going on the witness stand. The
written evidence taken under the ad-
vice and protection of counsel is a clear
back oct, and will be so understood by
o grateful country.

A FAITBFUL SAYING.

The New York Herald having asKed
how it happens that Wings and Demo
CT ats have sunk their traditional amt
mosities and jealousies all over the
South and are found acting together,
gives in reply to its own question: a
most faithful portraiture of the e1-
perience of the Southern States under
radical rule. Il says:
.'If we examine the story of Southern
politics during General Grants Presi-
dency we shall discover reasons quite
sufficient to account for this remarka-
BILE coalition, without having to sup
pose a spirit inimical to the Union or
the general welfare. We shall find
that in every Southern State where Re-
pubIicans have ruled they have been
incredibly wastefuI of the peoples
money; they have robbed the tax
payers, until in many places their
levies amounted to corfscation; they
have created vast State, county, city
and even township debts, over and
above the heavy taxation; have de
stroyed the ere lit of the States they
misruled; have brought financial dis
grace and ruin upon many com
munitie5, and while thus shamelessly
plurdering they have neglected all The
most important duties of rulers; have
corrupted the courts of justice, en-
couraged or tolerated lawIessness and
crime, and refused all remedies for the
peoples wrongs. The people of the
Southern States would not be Ameri-
cans, they would hardly be huT an
beings, if they rested content u der
| such monstrous misgovernment as I'll at
| of their Republican rulers has bee ~
Bat it was not the pluhdering alone,
the Herald thinks, that united the
South; it was thc favor shown by G ,l-
gress and the Presidentto the plunder-
ers as well. Fed-ral patronage was
| given to men like Spencer, Dorsey
Packard, easy. Ames. When Brooks
failed in Arkansas Grant made him
postmaster at Little Rock: to Brooks
partizan he gave consulship and to
another, another postoffice. When two
| Congressional committees overturned
the Louisiana Returning Board in 1874
and declared its verdict fraud Grant
appointed Wells the chairman of thai
Board, to one of the most i'm
portaht Federal offices in the
South and the Senate has re
Gently confirmed him, when Alabam,
became Democratic, Hines, creature
of Spencer, was made U. s. Marsha
and could have remained so but TO
being caught in frauds in the post
office. Mississippi became Democratic
and Morton tries to overturn the cleo
ton, and now that Chamberlain il
South Carolina seems desirous of beinl
honest, he is openly denounced a
Washington as 'ne better than
Democrat"
To this the Herald might well hav
added that when W. W. Holden, the
Governor of North Carolina, con
spired with John Pool and others G
the Radical party to overthrow tn
constitution of North Carolina, and i
pursuance of that conspiracy levie
war upon her people, and therefor

HANDSOME TRIBUTE.

Some days ago we recorded the fact
that Senator Furlong, of Mississippi,
hail contributed $50 toward the erec-
tion of a monument to Gen. ROBERT
E. LEE. In reply to the letter of the
Secretary of the LEE Monumental AS
sociation acknowledging the donation,
Senator Furlong, who had been .
Colonel in the Federal army, and is
now an independent Republican, made
the following eloquent response. He
said:
If the Confederate cause had no
ether merit, it will at least live in all
time through the fame of its soldiers,
many of whom, like LEE, possessed
virtues unsurpassed and unsurpassable
in the history of mankind, and they,
as well as many soldiers of the Union
in our late war, have shed new lustre
on the American name. Books may
be written, but they may be lost and
forgotten, monuments may be erected,
but they may be defaced and crumble
into dnst; but the pure glory that sur
rounds such names as that of ROBERT
E. LEE will survive all existing gov
ernments and be the common inheri-
tance of all our posterity. If il were
possible amidst the stormy ages which
are now passing over us that Virginia
should lose all place in the history of
this country, tradition would still
point to that ancient Commonwealth
and say. Here fourished a State
whose history commenced with n
WASHINGTON and ended with a LEE.

A lady exhibited the other day, at
the counter of the Richmond Dispatch,
a curious old relic in the shape of a
small iadle made out of buffalo-horn
The bottom is of silver plate, and has
the likeness of General Washington
engraved upon it On the reverse side
of the plate are the words, ''Honor ct
Justitia," the letters, Ct. W. G. NJ,
and various Masonic devices. Around
the edge are the words, Washington,
President, 1871"
General Frank Preston killed the
buffalo from whose horn the Iadle was
made, and he and General Washington
had it made into ladle.
Mrs. ex- Governor Floyd, daughter
of General Preston, presented it to
