The Radicals are using every effort
to create discord in the South. The
negroes in Louisiana are armed and
prepared for arson, murder, or whatever
crimes the leading radicals may order.
What matters it if women and children
be murdered in cold blood? What
cre they if thousands of the poor
colored people should be killed through
their inst .umentaliiy7 They care not.
They would have thousands murdered
and the government itself Destroyed,
rather than be defeated, A war of
race, would please them, anything
rather than a restoration to honest gov
eminent.

The administration of the National
Government has been conducted upon
a scale of extravaganza greater than
that which has obtained in any State of
the union. We may safely conclude
that. as Governor Tilden has succeeded
in reducing the expenditures of New
York fifty per cent, he will. soon after
his election, obtain similar reduction
in our national waste.

The machine canvass in Maine does
not work well. The managers who, by
their mean and unscrulous measures
slew Blaine, and planned the investiga-
tions into his official conduct, do no,
find things in that State operating as
they desire. The friends of Blaine
cannot forget his injuries, nor do the
reputable of the party admire the
character of Col. Robert Ingersoll.

PERSONAL INT1UANcE IN POLITICS.

The necessity which is upon every
citizen of this country to exercise his
electoral rights at the coming election
and indeed at every election -cannot be
too frequently nor too strongly urged
Not only the present, but the vast and
i1limitable future of the nation, is i'll our
hands now to mold and fashion, and
the influence of every one of it's people
is demanded in the work. The man
who says that his one vote is of no
consequence to the result, the woman
who thinks that she has nothing to do
with the matter, and cannot do any
thing which shall affect the question,
are in an unhealthy condition of. mind
which'they shouldn't once have atten
dtd TO. Every one has an influence
upon the thoughts and actions of his
fellow creatures. and every vote cast is
a drop in the stream which carries the
craft, and any one may determine the
direction which that stream shall take
One vote may at any time be sufficient
to give it the impetus required for
breaking through the barriers which
confine it to lis preset course, and turn
it into channel through which it can
run pure and limid, freed from the
poisonous accretions which have rem
dered its invigorating aud health giving
waters source of danger and disease.
When the destines of ones country
are in the balance, and the slightest
touch my turn the scale in favor of
good or Of evil, the responsibility
resting upon every one for the proper
employment of his influence is enormous.
The issues involved in the struggle
which is going on are of the utmost
importance, and not one citizen, not
one inhabitant of the land, can avoid
the responsibility of aiding in their
adjustment. On the one had we have
corruption and venality endeavoring to
gain permanent settlement in our
midst on the other, sturdy honesty
and integrity striving to thrust their
opponents from the seat Of honor and
take possession Of the place, so that the
prosperity and advantage of the country
may be secured. On the one side,
Grantism. with all its attendant evils,
struggling for growth and perpetrity,
on the other honesty striving to sup
plant it.
The issue is grave, but the result
assured, if duty be not neglected
Grantisn is doomed, but many sturdy
blows will be required before the Upas
tree can be leveled to the ground The
soil in which, it has been planted is 30

been cherished and preserved SO watch
rul, that it has assumed gigantic size,
and NH roots have distended far and
wide. Its exhalations are Infectious
driving purity and health from the
blood of all who como within reach oil
it's deleterious breath. Its branches
spread through all the land aud poison
all the air. 1t must be laid low, and
its roots elected from the ground which
they cucumber. In Tilden we have
the man who, properly supported, car
do the work. He has responded TO his
country's call, and holds himself il
readiness to undertake the task. Al
who have an interest in their country
life and health are called upon to aid ir
his election.

After these exposures, both house
changed the law of this appointment
and vested it in the President and
Senate. The fact that the House had
branded Clapp as corruptionist was
sufficient to insure him the favor of
Grant, even if he had not been pressed
by Grants friend Shepherd, who is
Clapp's bondsman, and is believed to
share his dishonest gains. 10 vim
dictate Clapp, he was nominated as his
friend Shepherd was, after the investi-
CATION of 1874. At first some of the
Republican Senators were disposed to
resist the nomination, but the pressure
of the Printing Ring was too strong for
their feeble nature John Sherman,
who had pronounced Clapp corrupt and
unfit, was suddenly called to Ohio
Others also retreated and others still
yielded to personal appeals and bland
ishments. Mr.. Anthony made the case
his personal cause, and begged votes
from both sides. Considering that he
has long been Chairman of the Com
mittee on Printing, that he has whites
washed Clapp several times, made one
sided reports for him, and that half a
million year has been regularly stolen
