gantic ring has reached out through the
whole country, amassing untold millions
ofmoney in these fraudulent transactions
The few hundreds and thousands of dol
lars that the unfortunate wretches who
were sentenced to prison received, were
doubtless but tithe of the real sum
stolen from the government, that has
gone into the pockets Of higher officials,
who escape the merit of their crimes
These are but samples of Republican
legislation. Let the people take notice of
their policy and its results. 1t has been
all of a part 1t has been in the interest
of fraud and corruption. 1t has been
against the rights of the honest masses
and in favor of the dishonest few. Will
the people continue blind? VIII they still
suffer such barefaced imposition to 90 on !?
Will they suffer themselves to be bound
hand and foot, and be made slaves to the
money power? The grasp of that power
is tightening on the throats of the people
If it is not wrested off soon the people in
their poverty and necessity will no longer
have power to resist, Every principle Of
liberty is involved in the longer continue
ton of this corrupt party in power. The
rights of the masses Of the people are at
stake. Win they yield them up without
at least one brave and energetic strug-

The Republican journal., 1876-02-17

The special committee of the Legisla-
ture for investigating the alleged traudu-
lent sales of Names share of the Agricul-
tural College lands, have struck something
substantial in the testimony of Charles p.
Brown Esq. of Bangor, as follows
Charles Z. Brown testified substantially that
in either November or December he had !; CON
versation with Gov. Cony, in the Adjutant Cen
erals office. He then offered him IS cents per
| acre for the scrip, he to pay SO, 900 down and
the same sum every three months until the
whole scrip was taken up, he giving good secur-
ity for the fullliment of the contract. The lands
| had not been advertised and the Governor told
| him he would see HIM later about it. He con-
| sldered it good bargain, and would have given
seventy cents per acre if the trade could have
| been closed then. The market rate of such scrip
at the west at that time, was about Sl00 an
acre, and had been less at no time since. He did
| not know when the lands We're advertised, and
the Governor said nothing more to him. The
lands sold for 53 cents per acre.
There is no doubt that these lands to
put the case in its best aspect, were tool
ishly and needlessly sacrificed, and there
is very strong suspicion that prominent
Republicans pocketed large sums as re-
suit.
Arrest of Winslow, the Boston For
ger.
The Boston Herald has a special despatch
from London, stating that f. ID. Winslow, had

He asked that his wife be let alone He was ex-
amined and remanded to await the arrival of
the eXtradition papers. On being interviewed
he said, he left everything in Boston in his at
torneys hands. He appeared to be greatly eff
fected and said he intended to go to Portugal or
Brazil. He denies having any cash or bonds,
| and says nearly all the newspaper accounts are
erroneous.
LONDON, Feb. 10. Winslow was arrested

OF the whiskey frauds, remember that
there is now on trial for completely the
man whe occupies the most confidential
relation to the President, and that the
chief magistrate is swift to come with
testimony for his defence. Let them re-

that the money stolen from the govern

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The revolu-
tion in Mexico WAS the principal subject
Of consideration at the Cabinet meeting
to-day, the attention Of the Cabinet being
brought directly thereto by the applca-
ton oflecal Mexican authorities, who are
endesvorng to suppress the insurgents
for the purchase of arms from
this government, No definite &C.
tion WAS taken. There WAS
some consideration given in the Cabinet
to the application from officers Of the
army stationed at Fort Sill and the Ad-
mnistrative Council OF that post, for the
retention there OF Thomas Evans post
trader. The subject was referred TO the
Secretary Of War.

afternoon Gen. Labarra gave the ner-
chants and business men Of Matamoras
q peromptory order to meet him at his
Office at halt past four o'clock. He IN
formed them when they met that the
object ofthe meeting was TO raise $780,
600 to pay his troops and to place the

to raise the money by force,'and would
not scruple TO use the proper means, il
necessary, to force the merchants to
effect his object. He said he had the in
terest of the government in his hands
and would subserve il st all events. The
merchants present were then called on to
subscribe to TO the loan. When Senior

that notwithstanding the poisoned at

in Washington, the people of West Nir-

lest they will not be able to find men
willing TO represent them at the national
capital during the session of the 45th
Congress. Several lersons have already
expressed themselves ready to take all
risk, and if necessary, will freely sacrifice
themselves upon the altar of their State
So there is no ground for alarm.
