Hon. Green ClRy's Graphic De-
scripIiOn OF Radical Flnam.
cierinS Ina Bolivar County.

The speech of Hon. Green CLAY, of
Bolivar, on the Governors veto of the
bill to limit the levy for the redemption
of the bonded debt of Bolivar county, is
richly worthy of attention. 1t is a
miniature presentation of the wicke
and villainy of carpet-bag rule, and the
wrongs to which town-trodden people
have been subjected. We are amazed
at the panorama of thieves as one by one
they pass in review before the public eye
in the sketch wildly drawn by the
orator; and we feel a sense of relief in
the fact that they are gone from our
gaze though their works will long live
after them.
The funded debt" is the product of
the swindHng operations of these rascals.
With Shylock instinct, they demanded
the payment of the claim which they
had palmed upon the taxpayers, or the
pound of flesh nominated in the bond of
their own creation when they had control
of the Legislature. The present Legis-
lature came to their relief and passed
bill reducing the levy and extending
the time OF payment This bill--merei-
full in its provisions to the plundered
taxpayers and considerate of the
holders of the debt, who, in considera-
ton of its fraudulent character, might
have been indefinitely put off without
njustice-Ames, mindful of his brood of
vampires, essayed to defeat with his little
veto. His action was so contemptible-
so manifestE impelled blythe mean and
vlndictlve motive that has prompted all
ms dealings with the people of the
states, was endorsed by but two votes.
out Of the whole number, in the House
of Representatives. The rebuke would
touch the sensibilities of ordinary mortals
but there is no point sharp enough to
penetrate the hide Of usurping carpet.bag
officials.

"OrfuI'' Grant.

CORFU" is a brother of the President,
and has been treated with fraternal con-
sideration by the latter, who seems to
have regarded the public offices and
the public moneys as perquisites of his
own, to be bestowed on the one hand,
and disbursed on the other, as he deemed
proper. When there was change in the
Indian leadership, Orville was notified
that there was his chance for levying con-
tributions, which he did without stint or
mercy on the poor Indians or soldiers, as
the case may have been. His influence
was eagerly sought and paid for, and,
as the. New York Tribune puts it, he adj
dressed the traders to the following eff
feet "Give me half your profits or my
% brother will turn you out" And they
" forked."

New Hampshire Election.

In all the calculations that have been
made of the Presidential election, by
either side, New Hampshire has been
set down for the Republicans. Their
success on Tuesday last, does not sur
prise us. TO give an idea Of the tactics
of the Republican leaders in the canvass,
we have copied the following extract from
N. Y. Tribune's New Hampshire letter ::
Mr.. Blaine gagged the opinions of the
average voter here very accurately when he
made his jeff. Davis speech. The campaign
has been run by the Republicans OH that
line. Extracts from Ben Hills reply and
from jeff Davis letter on the subject print
ed in the Tribune; fuckers revival oftheex-
ploded States Rights doctrine; the discharge
of Union soldiers by the Democratic House to-
make room for men formerly in the Confed-
crate army; IambIeton's appointment as
clerk of the Committee of Ways and Means :;
the Southern claims pressed upon Congress
such things as these furnish the staple Of
Republican stump oratory, and it must be
admitted that no arguments could be so
effective as the appeals made upon such
foundation of fact to the prejudices and
patriotic fears of the party that stood by the
Union during the war.

Pinch

Mr.. Pinchback was never elected to
the Senate. He had no manner of right
to the seat he claimed. The effort of
this mulatto keeper of of a New Orleans
gambling house to use the power of the
National administration to force himself
into the United States Senate was as
unwarranted as it was indecent. His
rejection by no means -disentangles the
complication which the Presidents law
less acts have created in Louisiana, but
it is step in the right direction. New
