Grants Corrupt Use of Public Money

-
In this paper will be found the evidence
in the sworn statement of Ex-Atty. Gen.
Williams, of the corrupt use of public
money by Grant to secure his reelection.
The n Y World, in publishing it, says:
The most melancholy news which it has
ever fallen to our lot to lay before the
public, hardly excepting the assassination
of President Lincoln, is that which we
publish this morning reciting the political
and moral suicide of President Grant in
his use of secret service moneys as an cleo
ton corruption fund for his party's benefit
and his own reelection. His agent was
the notorious John |. Davenport The
moneys we're spent in defrauding the New
York City Democracy Of their just weight
at the ballot-box. The proofs exist in
Da Tenport's individual receipts, not his
receipts as an officer. The witness is ex-

Not Belknap's crimes envelopes the ad-
ministration and the Republican party in

What course will be taken by the house
OF representatives upon this terrible ex-
posure we will not now presume to suggest
or say. Were the term of the president but
beginning instead of drawing to a close,
his impeachment for high crime and mis-
demeanor would be an imperative duty.
AS it is, perhaps, a sounder judgment will
be that for the sake of his former services
to the state LIE be spared that public
pillory, and, like Give, his name be
suffered to pass into history with its bright
ness and its blots, to attest the temperance
Of Democratic politics and the magnan.

Leave Word with John Astsr.

Yesterday a gentleman was complaining
to US Of the scarcity Of laborers--he wanted
a man to do some work about his garden,
door yard, and sidewalk. At last he found
man who wanted work, and he offered
him $3.50 day. The man refused to
work for less than Sl.75 day, and so the
work is not yet done, We recommend to
all people who want laborers to leave their
names and place of business or residence
with John Aster, overseer of poor. Plenty
of able bodied tramps go to him and pre-
tend that they want work, are willing to
work for their board, but can find nothing
to do, and therefore the county must sup
port them or they must starve Not one
in ten Of these loafers want any work; they
won't work if they have chance; ali they
wait is to beg or steal-but if Aster had
the names Of people who want laborers ht
could then make these fellows work OF
leave town. 1t would relieve him anc
save the county expense. There is abso
lutely no excuse for well man or woman
being beggar or pauper in this country
People who are willing to work and VIII,

From the Chicago Tribune Fist.
The Rockford & Rock Island.

A short time ago Mr.. H. Osterberg, the
representative of the German bondholders
of the Rockford, Rock Island & St Louis
railroad, who now runs and controls it,
went to Europe to raise money for the pur-
pose of completing the line from Sterling
to Byron, thus securing connection with
the Chicago q Pacific railroad, with which
consolidation was to be effected.
From information received here yester-
day from Germany, it appears that the
German bondhelders are rather reluctant
to expend more money on that road, and
it is hardly probable that Mr.. Osterberg
will succeed in his effort to consolidate the
two lines and thus secure an outlet for his
road to Chicago.
