Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-07-29

Wsahingtop July 27.-In view o
the published expressions of Yaryan
the President has been anxious, fol
his own protection, to get possession
If the original OF the ''let no guilty
man escape" letter. Bluford Wilson
informed tho President, it is report
ed, that it was on file in the Office OF
the Solicitor Of the Treasury, but il
could not be fonnd last evening. The
late Solicitor had three boxes sealed
up, directed to Bluford Wilson,
Springfield, Illinois. II was report
ed to the President this morning
that several kilograms in the whisky
cases were missing, and that Wilson
had many copies of important docn-
ments, and they, too, were missing.
The President directed Secretary
Morrill, to have the boxes opened in
presence of Wilson. This was done
in spite of his protests. and the letter
so anxiously desired by the President
and copies of important matters
hearing upon the whisky frauds
were found. Wilson in future will
lie allowed no access to public docu-
ments except by consent of the de-
partment officials.
Thus is developed one Of the
minor parts of . conspiracy against
the President. This and others,
traced to their source and aggre-
gated, will, we predict, ultimately
reveal Bristow in the attitude of the
most contemplate knave that ever
sought to Overreach his benefactor
and achieve power by breaking down
his superior officer. We further
predict that if the secret history Of
the attacks upon the st. Louis
whisky ring is ever made public, it
will show Bistrow to be a chief
factor in one of the most villainous
and sordid ''jobs" ever attempted.
No story is more current in the
political circles Of the East than that
it was at the behest of the Cincin-
natl Whisky Ring that Bristow
made his attack upon the revenue
rogues of st. Louis. Certain it is,
indeed, that the very strongest sup
porters his Presidential aspirations
had were the dtstillcrs and liquor
dealers of Ohio. As has before been
animated in the APPEAL, Bristow's
impudent, underhand sinister move.
ments against Grant were so far in
fectious that the entire Treasury
Department was in state of insub- |
ordination against the President be-
fore the late process of wedding out
that institution began. And what
has added to the Presidents annoy
ances and strongly seconded the
Bristow conspiracy is the attitude of
the press. There is great signif-
canoe in what we quoted from the
Herald in yesterdays APPEAL.
Grants record in the whisky bust
ness" says that paper, twill come
out straight. His enemies have had
the newspapers for C year, and have
used them, but have failed to throw
a stain upon the President. Does
the general reader comprehend the
force of this statement? Does the
average reader of the minor interior
press know how much of steadfast-
ness and loyalty it has required upon
he part of the obscurer journalists to
withstand this vast influence, this
constant pressure? The forces of

ence; assumption; humbug; self
.ggrandizement; the insolence of
station; the malignancy

II these have been arrayed not only
gainst Grant but against all public

ustained him. And although the ,
resident has not been stained by =
