CROOKED HIsroRY.-A learned cx.
change says; "To the victors belong
the spoils of the vanquisbed. Such, we
believe, was the doctrine of Secretary
Marcy, of General Jackson's Cabinet.
Mr. Marcy was Secretary of War dur
ing President Folks administration,
and Secretary Of State during Prcsi-
dent Picrce's administration, and Gov.
ernor OF New York from 1882 to 1886,
during General Jackson's last admin.
istration. Mr. Marcy was the author
of the quotation, but he never served

No man worthy the office Of President should
be willing to hold Il if counted in, placed there
by any fraud. u. B. GRANT,
| could never have been reconeied to the ele-
yaton by the smallest aid Of pine Of person,
however respectable In private life, who must
forever carry upon his brow tho stamp Of fraud
first triumphant In American history. No sub
sequent action, however meritorious, can wash
away the letters of that record.
CHARLES FRANois ADAMS.
Under the forms Of law, Rutherford d. Hayes
has been declared President Of the United States.
Ills title rests upon Acknowledgement Of lawful
voters, the false certificates Of the returning OH
GERS acting couuptly, and the decision Of a com
mission which has refused to hear evidence Of al
legod fraud. For the FIRST tim Q are the American
people confronted with the fact Of a frauducn,ly-
elected President. Let 1t not be understood that
the fraud will be silently aequieseed in by the
country. Let no hour pass in which .hc usurpa-
ton is forgotten.

In A SPLIT STIcK-The fraudulent
President cndeavored to get into good
standing with the Republican member:
of Congress from this State, last week
by sending Secretary Evarts to them
with the promise that il the entire
delegation would unite upon enc mar
and name him for Minister to Eng
land, that man should be forwith ap
pointed to the high and honorable po
sition. We'll, the delegation took Hayes
at his word, got together and to thC
uttor astonishment and dlsmay o
Hayes, as well as nearly everybody
else, hit upon Old Simon Cameron, anC
gave him the required endorsement
This was the most unkind cut OF all
For Hayes to appoint his bittcrest en-
emy to the most important position h'
has TO fill, was little too much fol
fral human nature, and His Fraudu
lency tried to back water. kvarli
says the proposition was made will
the qualification that the man mus
not be Objectionable to Hayes, and tn,
othcr fellows say he did no such thing
And now, to use u sporting phrase
Hayes will "havc to put up or shu
up" What is he going TO do abou
itl Later; Hayes has "put up" ant
struck for the shore He has appoint
cd John Welsh, of Philadelphia, Min
lister to England. And tis the seven
teen Radical members of Congress
from this State, and Senator Don, anC
some other fellows who find them
selves in split stick. Now, will they
"put up, or shut up?" That is nov
the inquiry.

SOME MERIT IN HIM.-An exchange
in alluding to an appointee, says "Mr
Hayes has one Jacksonian merit. lie
does not forget his friends. The ap-
pointment of Il. w. Stoughton, of New
York, as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to Russia
while does no special credit TO the
head Of the President does very much
to his heart, Mr.. Stoughton forgot
his law when he was in Louisiana tc
serve Mr. Hayes; and the President
has forgotten his country to serve Mr.
Stoughton. For many Of our rising
statesmen st. Petersburg has been o
place Of honorable but expensive exile
In the present instance it is made q
harbor Of refuge for poor lawyer
who stands in great peril Of being
broke on the wheel by one of the most
savage Of political inquisitors." We
would like to be abroad n while, too
for the purpose of seeing Stoughton''
countenancc while reading judge
Black on himself.

REPEALl--A test vote was had IN
Congress on the 1st inst. upon the re
peal Of tho Resumption Act. The
yeas were 1873 and the nays ll6. OF
the 1873, lOl were Democrats, and 81
Radicals. OF the ll6, % were Radicals
and 81 Democrats. II looks q great
deal as if the Democrats in Congress
have stolen large part of the Green
hackers thunder. This should settle
the question propounded frequently
Through which party are the opin
ions Of grccnbackcrs more likely TO Sc
cure successful endorsement These
men who voted are the representatives
Of the people AID this vote "settles
that" question. All the Democratic
members from Now Jersey and New
York, with the exception Of Cox, voted
"nay,p and from these two States the
Rcsnmp,ionists draw nearly all their
Democratic strength. Not a Demo
crat from Pennsylvania voted "yea."

not oxtravagant in his habits. In per.
sonal appearance he was Of medium
height and build, with thin black hair,
moustache and goatec; and did not
appear to be over 40 years of age. His
lower limbs were completely paralyz-

ION his feet, and supported by two
crutchcs he hobbled down toward the

him one Of the most conspicuous OBJ

embracing so many Of the most dis

emily the most interested of them all ;
with the Same look Of determination
upon his face and n cold glitter in bis
eye that told Of purpose to keep a
tight grip upon every party advantage

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
Oliver p. Morton was born in Wayne
county, Ind, August 4, 1923, and ed
ucated at Miami University. lie was ad.
mitted to the bar in lsi7, and Eve years
later elected Circuit Judge, at this pc
riod Of his lie being Democrat; but
he abandoned tho party and he became
the Republican nominee for Governor
in 1856, and in 1860 was elected Lieu
tenant Governor on the ticket headed
by Henry S. Lane Mr.. Lane being
elected 10 tho United States Senate
two days after his Inauguration, Mr.
Morton succeeded him as Governor,
being elected in 1861, but having to
quit his post year later to spend some
time in Europe, n stroke of paralysis
preventing him from discharging his
duties. Returning from Europe in
1865 he resumed the Govcrnorship, and
in 1867 was elected to the Senate, be-
ing reelected in 1873. In 1870 he
declined the English mission, and last
year was prominent candidate for
the Republican nomination at Cincin-
natl. During the Electoral discussion
he was n member of the joint confer
ence to devise plan for the settle.

THE EASTERN WAR.


The conflict between Russia and
Turkey, which has. been waged for the
past six months, seems TO be more
lively just now than for the three pre-.
vions months. Each oflhc Powers have
recently added about 200,0O0 moro
men to each others, forces. The Turks
!. ,..,sp.1s :I.;siu :I.;sniuxiillIjS~s,rT = : -
Europe, being the main objective
points. Tho Russian commanders are
gathering their hosts around those two
strongly fOrtided positions, which they
propose to besiegc and, Of course, on.
deavor 10 carry by storm at the first
opportunity. The Russian command.
ers have recently been very successful
in capturing men and munitions from
the Turks, by making several precipi.
tate flank movements, and the direct
efforts now making to lay scige to the
strongly fortified positions indicated,
is conclusive proof that the Russians
are going to wage a winter campaign,
which will put the Turks on the look.
out for surprizes all the while, whcth.
er they occur or not.
The Russians are making huge ef.
forts TO capture Plevna, in Bulgaria,
situated nearly midway between the
Danube and the Balkan mountains.
While the Turks hold this position, the
campaign in Europe will be failure
on the part of the invaders. Hence
the efforts now being made to get the
''lion out Of the way" Tho Russians
need not think of worming themselves
into Constantinoplo while the Turks
hold Plevna. 1t Is the key by which
the Turks hold the Russians at bay,
and it was great blunder on the part
Of the Russians that they did not hold
it when they had possession. What is
true of Plovna, is also applicable ia
Kars, in Asia. Until the Russians
are able to capture this position and
hold 1t, the war must be conducted on
the border to the great advantage ol
the Turks, and highly detrimental tc
the Russian allies. As the matter
stands, the Bulgarians and the Cauca
slams are the chief sufferers, because
their territory is made the tiampine
ground for both armies, just like th,
Shenandoah valley during the rebellion
The destruction of property by botl
armies in the sections where the wal
has ragged is amazing, and if continued
for another year will almost make The
country barren waste, for the scet
time and harvest TO those sections ar,
past, and they must rely on other coun
tries for subsistence while the conAic
continues.
The position of the invader is NJ
better now than ii was SIX months ago
and ifno real advantage is gained soon
"tho Great Bear had better haul of
and start in somewhere else.
