Special Correspondence Of the 0BsERvE2.
WAsHINGToN,D. ,April21, rs
At last. 1t has been long
suspected that President Grant
had a guilty knowledge Of the
criminal manner in which many
Of his officials and the trusted
members of his administration
have devoted the public funds
10 their private use, or for party
purposes. But on Wednesday
the testimony Of ex-Attorney
General Williams, before the
Committee on the department
of Justice, definitely proves
that he not only knew of these
things, but that he actually Or
dercd public moneys to be paid
cut for the purpose of corrupt
ing voters and securing his own
reelection. The nation is
shamed by the discovery that
It's chief magistrate has been
guilty of a high crime in di-
rccting the corruption Of the
voters. The testimony shows
that just previous to the cleo
ton in 1872, $4,000 was paid
10 the notorious John /. Daven-
port, of the city of New York.
This money was to be used for
the purpose of controlling the
election in New York City, and
every one recollects how well
it was used for that purpose
There is no way of avoiding the
conclusion that President Grant
knew precisely how the money
paid to Davenport was to be
employed. Hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars not only in the
department of Justice, but i'll
the Navy and Interior Depart
ments were used In the same
manner, and the inference is
plain that if President Grant
knew of the manner in which
part of this corruption was di-
verted from the public treasu-
~, that he knew and approved
OF the diversion and use Of all
of it. Not only this. The in
ception of the gigantic whisky
frauds in the west, was for the
purpose of raising campaign
fund, is itnot fair to presume that
this also was known to the man
who deliberately directed the
use of public moneys for the
purpose of defeating the will
of the people in New York
FalsuS u, uaunl, .fdISus IN ON
mes, is q law motto that direct
ly applies to this case. The
witness who is shown to have
sworn falsely in one particular
is discredited in all things, and
so when it is proven that the
President not Only knew, but
directed the disbursement in
one case, of public money for
the purpose of influencing the
elections, that he knew and APP
proyed of all such cases. 1t is
a pitiable story and one that
brings the blush of shame TO
the face of every upright A
merican, no matter what his
politics may be. There is no
question but what the House
ought to impeach the President,
and by Furnishing the crime re-
move the stain from the nation.
II is doubtful, however, whether
the Democratic majority will
have the courage to do this
Their duty is plain, but there
are quito a number of men IN
that majority who are afraid to
do their duty in SO great an G.
Inergency.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22d.

Now e.tenths of this vast
throng that are preparing to visit
this grand Mecca Of American pa
triots, will be total strangers to
Philadelphia, and of these a very
large proportion are unused to
travel with its dangers and re-
quirements. All these persons
need and must have some more
definite and explicit directions for
their trip than the vague informa.
ton which they can get by inqui-
ry. To supply this want, various
so called directories and guides
have been gotten up in different
parts of the country, by parties
who. very probably never set foot
in Philadelphia, and who get their
information from newspapers. -
But this matter, like all the other
arrangements of the Exposition, is
in the hands of the Commission,
and your readers should under
stand that there is but one official
guide, which is the VISITORS
Guide published by the old house
Of ]. B. Lippincott & Co., of Phil
adelphia, and which win be the
only book OF the kind allowed to
be sold on the grounds. 1t is a
su all, compact volume, easily car
ried ia the pocket, but contains alb.
solutely everything that the most
ignorant or inexperienced person
needs to be told from the time be
leaves his home till be gets back
there again. All necessary statis-
tics, the address of all prominent
men, and institutions, minute
travelling directions, both for the
journey and in the city, two large
folding maps, one Of Philadelphia,
and one of the Exposition, careful
ily and intelligiby marked, make
up, together with some very valu-
able collateral information, this
invaluable little handbook. which
/ is printed in the English, German,
Spanish and French languages -
Being prepared under the super
vision Of the commission, It's ab
solute correctness is assured, and
having no private "axe to grind,
its advice may be safely followed
in every case. If every one that
is going to the Centennial would
get and study this book before
starting, there would be much less
of the loss, disappointment, anxi'
Iety, and trouble that will come up
on those who 60 there unprepared.

Death Of a Good Man.

Mr.. E. A. PHELPS, locating engi-
neer of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, who died in Arizona few
days ago, leaves many sorrowing
friends III this city and throughout
California. He stood at the head Of
his profession, and by his death Chief
Engineer GRAY has lost his most val
liable locating assistant. He met his
death in the discharge of his duty.
He had gone forward as locating en-
gineer of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, and after marking the course of
the iron rail far into Arizona, he was
stricken down and fell rs heroes al
ways fall-at his post in the discharge
of his duty. Socially Mr.. PHELPS
was esteemed by all. His quiet de.
meanor and gentlemanly department
won him the friendship of all with
whom he was thrown in company.
He rests from his labors. The intelli-
gence that guided the locomotive
through the tortuous pass, along the
rugged mountain side and over the
desert plain has flown from earth.
After "life's fitful fever may he rest
in peace.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-02-23

and looked on the facetlous side, for
he illustrated by telling q story about
n very eloquent clergyman, whose reg
ular weekly allowance was one gallon
of New England rum.
He was followed by Judge Eaton,
who said that they could raise finer
babies and more of them than any
place in the world.
Thus ended the oratory, and the Ia
dies commenced 10 lay out very fine
lunch, which was soon disappearing
by the efforts of n jolly, good natured
and hungry crowd of about two hun
dred people. All kinds of cake and
"fxings,r sandwiches, oranges. nuts,
etc. We also had the pleasure of tast-
ing fine salad prepared by Mrs. Ro-
senbaum, which is called the Centen.
nial salad, as it is made from one
hundred articles.
Judge Eaton was well prepared for
his friends by a demijohn of some OF
the finest native wine we ever drank,
and if age won't make it equal to any
thing from foreign countries we are
greatly mistaken.
All had a fine time, and we think 1t
just about as near complete success
rs anybody could get. Fred Gilmore
organized a base ball club, and all had
chance to show their muscle.

evening word machine. 1t was all
right to break up the Lomas de San
tiago, but to investigate the San vi
cente was quite another thing SEN
ator JONES was interested in that
ranch, and his claim to anything
must not be disputed or questioned.
His organ changed its tactics and pro-
ceeded to denounce the HERALD as q
disturber of titles. From that day to
this it has made virulent onslaughs
on the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany for daring to question the valid
ity of title which Secretary CHAND-
LER affirms bears every evidence of
fraud 1t is to be regretted that the
Santa Monica organ committed itself
in its Lomas de Santiago article. Had
it been aware that the San Vicente
was in the same boat it would un-
doubtedly have escaped the awkward
position in which it now stands on the
title question. The cry that it is
wrong to disturb titles is false and
hypocritical. If titles are sound moth
ing can or will disturb them. If they
are fraudulent the sooner they are dis
turbed and made sound the better for
the people and the country. These
Investigations will come some day.
Is it not better that evil and wrong
should be removed at once?

An Awkward Position.

Some week ago the Express OF this
city contained an editorial article
taking the ground that if the patent
to the Lomas de Santiago grant was
fraudulent, as alleged, 1t should be set
aside and the land permitted to revert
to the government. The HERALD en-
dorsed the position of its cotemporary,
aud stated that there were q number
of other grants in this county that had
been largely expanded beyond the
original claim,and each would receive
the same attention that the Express
desired should be bestowed upon the
Lomas de Santiago. Among these
we mentioned the San Vicente, which
il is said has been inflated from two
to five leagues. This alarmed the
