ss the Republicans had majority In both
branches OF congress the powerful lobby
influence in the interest OF the machine
monopoly never failed Of measurable
success, but so soon as the Demo
Gratis got control of the House Of Represen-
tstives reform resulted. The usual bill for
the benefit of the monopoly has been de-
fested and the working women of the
country may now have some hopes that
the price of machines will come down
within their reach. II will hardly be pos
sible in future for sewing machine manu-
fscturer to support four or five families
while living, and then leave thiitsen
millions of dollars worth of property for
them to quarrel over when he is dead,
while worthy women are struggling TO
support their children with work Hpon an

The nomination by the convention on
Saturday of five persons prominently con-
nected with the Hall csss requires that
we should again call attention to the
crooked transactions of the councilman
from the aristocrstic and largely Republi-
can Eleventh Ward. Hall was tried by the
City Councii on the Both day of last De-
cember. upon charges and specifications
preferred by special committee OF the
Council. The most serious charge was
that while member of the Council the
said Hall was guilty of malfesssnce In
office in collecting and sppropristing the
money and property of the city to his own
use, and also of usurping and ex-
ercising powers and duties which
he had NO right to exercise, but
which are especially delegated to
and should have been exercised by an
other city officer. The specifications
showed that in July, August, September,
October and November, 1875, Hall col
lected from the renters of the Sellers farm
large sums of money belonging to the
city and appropriated the same to his own
use. This money, as is well known, was
smoked out of Hall after the investigation
had commenced, and but for the charges
preferred against him would never have
found its way into the treasury. There
were some eight or nine votes taken by
the Council on the different specifications
and Adams, Craft and Dsrnell voted "not
guilty" every time. DR.. Ward and
Schmidt, two Republicans, voted guilty on
a majority of the specifications and the
Democrats voted guilty on all. As
1t required twc-thirds vote to
Dust him and eight Republicans
voted steadily not guilty, BALI still
remains the worthy representative of the
Republicans Of the Eleventh Ward. That
Hall was guilty and should have been ex-
PEELED from the Council very few will
deny. 1t was only the blind subserviency
to party of Adams, Craft and Dsrnell that
saved him from merited disgrace, and
these three men are now Endorsed by the
Republican party of Marion county and
made its standard bearers. We are very
much mistaken If there are not hundreds
Of honest Republicans In the county who
will repudiate them at the polls. In the
language of Saturdays Journal, they
can not be dragooned into blindly indoors

not approve"

feasted the preceding one, but the correc-
ton is tame and soon forgotten. while the
charge having been embellished with SEN
sationsl touches OF ths psu, clings TO the
mind as thing to be, remembered
Probably toe most unfounded, as
well as Infamous rumor that has
been put a6oat for many a day,
was the one telegraphed from Washing
ton a few days ago, rejecting on the in
tegriIy OF Gov. Hendricks and Gen. Love,
in connection with some Calling gun can
tract. Immediately on the first appear
ance of the ramon, Gen. Love telegraphed
Speaker Kerr. demanding TO be called be-
fore the committee, and at the same time
wrote Senator Mcdonald TO the same eff
feet. He has received from Mr.. Mcdonald
the following answer:
WASHINGTON CITY, March 10, 1876.
General John Love:
DKAR SIR-Your favor Of the 9TH inst. has
been received. On the receipt of your dis
patch Mr.. Kerr made inquiry of the
chairman OF the committee, and learned
that there was no foundation whatever for
the rumor; that no evidence relating
TO any Calling gun contracts had been taken
before the committee. and that this whole
thing was a falsehood, and so informed the
agent of the Associated Press, and the notice
you speak of in the Commercial was the sub
stance OF the Associated Press dispatch. i
have made the best effort could TO find who
originated IL, bat have not been able to do so.
The impression is that some one in the interest
OF the Republican party put 1t afioat, and
managed that 1t should be picked mp by some
one of the many newspaper men, and that
the purpose was TO break the force OF the
blow caused by Belknaps fall. II anything
new transpires will let you know, but
matters now stand II is not necessary to take
any other notice of the Islander. In haste,
yours, j. e. MCDONALD.
Should the journal notice the letter of
Senator Mcdonald, herewith published,
we will see II il will have the fairness TO
publish it entire, and not mutilate it, as
Ii did the dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
quirer on the same subject.

The New Secretary.

In the place Of the disgrsced Belknap,
the president has named Judge Taft, of
Cincinnati, and that gentleman has tele-
grsphed to Washington bis acceptance of
the position. Judge Taft has local repu-
tation as a lawyer, but It does not appear
wherein his fitness for the position to
which he has been called consists. There
are, however, several reasons why this Sc
lection was made by President Grant
that readily suggest themselves. 1t will
be remembered that IL the presidents
Iowa speech he took a certain position on
the school question which he further elsb-
GRATED in his December message. Judge
Taft, the new appointee, obtained about all
the reputation he has through a decision
he rendered in the Superior Court at Gin
cinnsti, by virtue of which the Bible was
excluded from the public schools. This
recommended him to the president, for the
decision harmonized with his policy.
Again, it Is well known
that at Cincinnati President Grant is
losing caste, and that his followers scarcely
number q corporsl's guard. The papers
there are against him, and Bristow stock
Ia risin highegr ana higher every day.
Judge Taft is pet of the Cincinnati Com
mercisl, and it Is but reasonable to sup
pose that the whole anti-Bible element in
Cincinnati will heartily approve the presl-
dents selection. Judge Taft was defeated
before the Republican State Convention
for governor, on account OF his
decision on the school question. This
recognition now of his merits may win
back the Commercial to Grants support.
This appointment Is in harmony with
President Grants mode of doing things.
He appointed Belknsp, it is said, because
he heard him make pert speech. Fit
ness, capacity and experience in states
msDship never commended anybody to
the patronage of the present sdministra-
ton. How certain view of disputed
civil polity of state constitution could
indicate fitness fer the position of war sec
rotary is one of those inscrutable things
that are not written In the statutes.
