NEW YoRK, Nov. 3.-Captaiu Josiah
S. Grindle, late master of the ship St.
Mark, who has been before the United
States courts as defendant in two trials for
cruelty to his crew, was yesterday convict
ed in the criminal branch, Judge Benedict
presiding. of cruel and unusual punish
ment in foggug sailor known as Long
Tom" By aogging and other indignities
inflicted by the captains own hand or by
his direction it is alleged that three sail
ors died. Captain Grindle was first ar
rested FIVE years ago when he was master
of the ship ''Old Colony" for ill-treating
two Spanish refugees, whom it was alleged
he attempted to scare into signing the
ships papers. On the trial it was proved
that the men were beaten, hoisted to the
main top. with heavy irons around their
necks, gagged with iron bolts and confined
in dark hole for fifteen days on an al
lowance of biscuit day. The men were
so weak when taken from the ship that
they had to be brought into court on
stretchers. After trial lasting several
days captain Grindle was acquitted on
technical grounds, the verdict being mot
guilty, under the statute and the ruling Of
the court, but guilty of cruel treatment.

The Washington correspondent of the
newspaper the startling fact that one al
teration of figures in the United States
treasury has increased the national debt
100000. The Tribune correspondent
says that these alterations were made
while Boutwell, was secretary of the treas
ury. The debt statement from 1868 to
1870 was put down in the official returns
as ST ,099, 100000, but In the statement of
1871 it was suddenly increased to l,l20,-
100000. The investigation ordered by
the senate of the United States has failed
to straighten the crooked figures of the
treasury department, and Boutwell, has
been discreetly silent upon the subject.
This disclosure is but one instance oi
such discrepancies. Every merchant and
farmer knows that when books do moi
balance, the accounts are false and this
discrepancy is but another indication o.
| the vast frauds in the treasury of the
| United States. When Tilden is elected
many of these men who are now circu
lating lies to save their reputation, viii
find themselves, in less than six months
from this date, in the same predicament
as Tweed, Sweeney and the rest of tht
thieves who have been driven from spoil
and plunder into exile by the Grea
/ Reformer.

towns south of Rock river with ballots for
the election next Tuesday, and Mr., LuEdy,
candidate for sheriff, has undea taken to
supply all the towns north of Rock river.
Town committees and leading men should
see to it, and If the tickets do not come to

send trusty messenger to THE ARGUS
office for supply. Let every friend of
Tilden and reform be on the alert. Let
every doubtful vote be secured the first

From the Al0Gny Argus, Oct. "a.
The Ahsurditv of It.

The most absurd feature of tae canvass
is the Radical clamor against the Democ
racy because the Democratic house reject
ed the rebel war claims. The Republican
Forty-third congress passed about Sc, ,000,-
600 of these claims, and their committees
reported favorably on them to the extent
of over $8,00O,OO0. The Democratic COM
mittees reported for consideration only
$2I7 900, absolutely rejecting all others.
In other words, where the Republicans
awarded one hundred dollars for war dam
ages the Democrats awarded fifty cents.
and where the Republican committees re-
ported on one hundred dollars. the Demo
cratic committees reported on three dollars.
The secret of the matter lies in the fact
that these claims are all owned by the
Radical rings, who know that IIlden
election means death to their swindles.

The day of talk has ended The season
of argument is over. Next Tuesday de-
cides whether the old corrupt rings of l6
years standing are to be broken up and
scattered, and new and honest men
brought to the front, and our expenses and
taxes reduced, and our country started on
new era of prosperity,o or the reverse, and
the intervening days must by devoted to
work. Sit right down and think over all
your neighbors, their names, their resi-
dence, their politics, and 60 to them per-
sonally, and urge them to vote for Reform,
and pure, constitutional government. Get
your secular work all out of the way 50 as
to devote next Monday and Tuesday
wholly and exclusively to your country
They will be the most profitable two days
work you ever did in your lives You
will save it ten fold in tGDeS, in public ex,
peGses, in official waste Tue expense;
of the federal government are nearly $500,
100000 year, or oyer sc for every man
woman and child. In family Of FIVE tba
amounts to an average Of $50. Now, i
by devoting two days to the service of tn
country you can reduce that one third, it i
S. day wages for the two days to ever
voter who thus gives his services. This
the practical way to look at these thing;
Life is practical. Duty and self-interes
conspire together in favor of this nobl
effort. 1t is not sacrifice, but gain.

Roorbacks run Mad.

1t is reliably reported that the Radical
leaders, in their desperation, have ar
ranged to have it reported throughout the
country, on the 9th of November that Coy
Tilden has suddenly died. This is a clear
case of homeopathy. Their own real
death to be averted by Tilden's sham
death. They try to cure their own fatal
ILLNESS by an infuitessimally small dose
of imaginary death to their conqueror.
Democrats will distrust all Radical lies,
however audacious they may be. In this
line expect everything and believe
nCthing.

Republican organs please copy.

The plain people of the country, as Mr..
Lincoln used to call them, are, on the
average, a very level-headed set. They
are not easily humbugged, and they usual
ly know what their true political interests
are. This fact suggests that, 10 spite Of
the roaring of Republican orators, they
will cast their votes for Tilden. economy,
reform, and the paci6cation Of the
south, foreseeing that by SO doing they
will hasten the coming of the prosperity
for which they are all so eagerly waiting.

informed of them too --eoncede this.
The prospect now is that in this state
bis majority will be very large.
Indeed this state is now so safe that the
speakers in the campaign can well be

that Samuel j. Tilden will be our next

How Butler Sees Tt,

Ben Butler may be knave but nobody
ever accused him of being a fool, or of not
being first class judge of the political sit
uation, This is what Butler said in a
speech the day before the Indiana elec-
ton:
lyon may wake in the morning and
hear that Indiana has gone Democratic;
then, if Tilden carries New York, he will
gain the election, though the Republican
party carry every vote in every other state
except in the south"
Precisely so-and it is just here that the
Democratic laugh comes in.
