ton. He allayed the evil effect Of Lamar's
misrepresentation, and accomplished tri-
umph of which the party may well feel proud.
In our news columns will be found a report
from J. d. Williams, chairman of the Com
mittee on Accounts. There is nothing of espe-
cial interest in the letter except the orthogra-
ply, and that would make a "spelling bee"
laugh right out in school.
The Allegheny City Nail thinks the Presi-
dent should at once order the Indian agencies
over TO the military. 1t is possible that the
President cannot do this until the law placing
the Indians under the control of the Interior
Department is changed. He swears to execute
the laws.
The 'Independent Greenback Forces" which
means the soft moneyites who will not vote
for Tilden and Hendricks, have resolved to
stick to Peter Cooper. Tllden's "bar'l o.
money" can't bring over these boosters from
a man who represents as much 'soap" and
glue as Peter Cooper.
Hon. Morrow B. Lowry says: "Every man
who reads the Lords Prayer and the Demo-
cratic papers knows that the Republican party
should be driven from power" "Lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil"
Read that, Mr.. Lowry, and you will get out of
the Democratic party as quick as Jonah did
out of the whales belly.
General Garfield in conceding yesterday that
Mr.. Lamar accepts in toto the results of the
war, made mistake in not stating that north
of the Mason d Dixon line he accepts these
results, but in the South, among his constit-
uency, his voice on the stump or In converse
ton has never uttered such sentiments. Mr..
Lamar is not an honest man. He wears two
faces. One for the gushing North, and one for
the fire-eating South.
The Glover report in the Robson matter is
a most extraordinary document. There is
probably nothing like it in the annals of Con-
gress. A document that rises to the dignity
of report from Congressional committee
thus puffs and immortalizes young popinjay {:
"March ., 1876, interrogatories were per-
sonally served on the Secretary of the Navy
by Brooke Mackall, jr., Assistant Sergeant-at-
Arms OF the House, which related to the de-
posts of public moneys made by him with the
house of Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co."
Do tell! personally served by Brooke
Mackall, jr." What an important fact to
communicate to the House aud to the country
Id nduScdIn.
The New York Tribune of yesterday says:
1.-THE Hon. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, made
finish of himself in the House yesterday.
Mr.. Blaine had left but little of him in the
passage arms on the floor relative to the
Caldwell dispatch some weeks ago, but what
little remained Mr.. Knott himself made way
with yesterday. Where only yesterday was a
Knott, regarded by himself apparently as a
very tough and well-seasoned Knott, and at
times on account of his brilliance pine knot,
today there is, for all practical purposes, SO
far as character, position and influence are
concerned, only Knott hole. Knott has
dropped out. He can hardly be said to have
been punched out. He shrunk up, loosened
and ratified out himself" And now we kindly
| suggest that his friends, if he has any, tie
him up carefully in a Knott and send him
back to the dark and bloody ground of Ken
lucky, there to remain for an indefinite period.
The Tribune further In the same article says:
this to hang their heads in modification at the
performances of some of their representatives;
but this exhibition by Mr.. Proctor Knott was
for coarse and cowardly abuse, low and mean
insinuation and Misrepresentation, total dis
regard of propriety and decency, vindictive
malice and deliberate brutality, beyond any
thing ever witnessed in that line"
