rILDEN,s FIRST VETO.
Where are the Rebel and Carpet
Dagger swindling Claims Now7

The letter Of Coy. TiIden, iu this paper,
perfectly annihilates all the stuff of Re-
publican orators and newspapers in re
gard to so-called southern war claims. In
this sharp and brief essay, the Chicago
Times says our Uncle Samuel will be found
at his best. He has waited until the
callow advocates Of Grantlsm had their
battle fully set, and now bears down with
SO certain lance that the whole fabric of
fraud lies pierced and shapeless. He re-
spends to the current cant about rebel
claims after his usual. fashion. He has
no equivocation in the matter. HeFe-
coguizes just as clearly as the majority of
his countrymen the hnllowness of tns plea
put forth that his election will lead to the
recognition OF the rebel debts, but he
thinks it better to point out his record on
the question and define his position yet
more clearly for the future. He states,
with humorous penetration, the fact that
the question which the Grant people are SO
disturbed about was not thought OF
enough consequence to mention in the
national platform, and then goes On to say:
First. That the 70 urteenth and fifteenth
amendments are final aud conclusive as to
the claims; that they ars forever estopped
by these amendments. and that no man OIL
me can give them life.
Second, That so long ago as 1874 he dis
cussed the question in his first annua
message, showing the tutili;y of any rebe
b ,pe 10 that direction.
Third, That if elected he will veto any
bill of any character looking to Che refund
ing of the cotton claims, or the paymen
of any claims wi atsoever arising FROM thu
rebellion.
These points are the gist Of the dis
cussion of the question, which will caus
the Grant alarmists sensation OF distress
He makes no bones OF the matter, an,
lpresents it very much as he would d mes

Sheriff Huesing.

The Union of this morning devotes a
La ge suace 70 personal abuse of Sheriff
Huesing Fault is found because the sher.
iff turned his COW into the court house
yard. Tne sheriff says he is aware that
his COW has no more rights in that green
grass than any other persons COW in the
county; that few people ever walk on the
grass, and no one had ever complained to
him about the COW being in the e, but
since it seems, By the Union, to give Of
Tense to some, he has removed The afore
said COW, AID hereafter no animal will be
permitted in the yard.
What the Union says about gas is an en-
tire misrepresentation. The sheriff has no
objection to the use OF gas-he is only car
rying out the orders OF the board. To re-
store the connections with the Jail pipes,
which were cut by order of the board,
would be usurpation of authority and an
insult to the board Besides, it would do
no good, for Mr.. Harper says no gas shall
be used except by order of the board; the
order of Mr.. Parmenter is not the order
of the board, nor has he any right to give
any order on the subject, nor has he ever
given any to the sheriff.
The Unioa says:
The sheriff e office from December / 1s73,to June
!, 1876. had cost the county $S.054 81 In Other
words, while the earnings were put down at $12
261, A, of which only e., 100 OF collected the
