money was paid for services rcn-
derad in accordance with an not Of
Congress, and that theso services wero In
tic interest OF, and were successful in secur-
ing, an honest election in New York. From
the complete information embodied in our
dispatches It will be seen TINT the Democrats
have exploded an empty bomb-shell 60 fur
MS concerns President GRANT, whose only
fault, if any, was purely technical, and who
Mt most is chargeablo with having author-
ized tho payment Of money for vnluablo
services honestly and lawfully rendered, ind
for tho payment of which the United States
Treasury was unqucstionably responsible,
from fund not strictly appropriated for this
specific purpose. Tho President ia to bo
