The New York Times, which once had
the reputation Of being the fairest and
most independent party paper In the
United States, is now distinguishing
itself as virulent, slanderous and dis
honest sheet. 1t has done nothing note
worthy for the past six months but print
the vilest sort of ISLANDERS upon eminent
Democrats. A few months ago 1t gave
publication to scandalous story about
Charles O'Conor, and after a full inves-
tigation of the charge, the whole bar OF
New York pronounced the story false,
and the country has confirmed the judg-
ment of the New York bar.
Only few days ago the Times pub
lished q dirty diatrbe against Gen.
Wade Hampton, charging him with
being a coward, and with having liter
ally murdered Federal officer during
the war, and finally, 1t has charged
Gov. Tilden with being a perjurer, and
falsifed, garbled and misquoted the
record to prove its dirty lie.
A paper which thus recklessly assails
the purest, bravest and ablest men In
the country, is the fitting organ OF a
party which is seeking to retain control
OF mighty government through q
campaign OF perjury, slander and
violence.

THE HIGHT WAY.
And q Few Facts Relating to Radical
Reclamation.

The United States Supervisor OF Reg
istratIcn Of the Tenth Ward, represent
ing the Democratic party, has, with
commendable promptness, closed regis
tration Ia that ward until Gov. Hahn's
decision is obtained concerning sections
28 and 30 of the registration act, relat-
Ing to the ISSUE OF duplicate certificates
to voters who produce af1idavits to the
effect that they have lost their original
papers, and which the State Registrar
seems determined to Disregard.

A SET OFF.
The plan of annoying and vexing ap-
plicants for registration by sending
them TO the Superintendent at the State
House, on the pretext that the Ward
Registrars do not believe the applicants
are of age, is set off by the Democratic
United States Supervisors, who adopt
the same plan towards Radicals whose
appearance justify in the least the ap-
prehension. IL is poor rule that does
not work both ways.

drawing pistol, moved around the desk

one knows better than Mr.. Appleton that
his interest in the building up of Port

and shameless blackmailing into the once
pure military service Of the United
States. Let it not be thought that this
conclusion is too hasty. UnweIcome as it
is to every patriot, it is abundsntly justi-
fed by facts too plain for denial. Two
cases In point are now in every mind and
on every tongue. The first Is bad enough.
That General Bsbcock, soldier In the
regular army all his life. belonging to the
its most promising members. and which is
notable for srrogsting to itself q
high sense of honor, should have
become the associate and conf
dant of q crew of vulgar plunderers.
speaks volumes for the Generalization of
the army. But what shall be thought
when the chief OF the department proves
also the chief actor in the villsiny which
has disgrsced IL? That the man who, one
short week ago, represented to the
world the military service and controlled
the armies of the United States, is now
summoned to the bar OF congress to ans
wer articles of impeachment, and to the
bar OF a criminal court as an indicted ielop,
is a thought to bring the sense
OF shame home to every American
citizen. But the work of publication has
began, and an abuse is halt remedied
when 1t Is published to the world. Bah
cock has gone unwhipt Of justice, since
his punishment was intrustsd to the very
party Of whose policy his crime was the
natural outgrowtb, but Belknap will
scarcely escape full measure of Justice at
the hands OF Democratic House, and the
party that now controls the House will
no distant day control the whole sdmin,--
tratior. Then, with the temptation and
opportunity for dishonest practices re-
moved, return to the former high
standard OF honor may be looked for in
the military as in the civil service.
