OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

FOR THE
Campaign Against National Fraud.


A President who was nor elected nv the
people having been inanpurated AZ Wash,
ineton through processes % fraud. we call
upon honest men ofall parties TO rally to-
gether in a determined and nersistent Of
forts for the correction of this Great wrono
and for the punishment Of the oriity to he
enforced through the ballot box.
For this OUTRAGE upon the RIGHT of self,
government the Republican party and its
chosen managers are primarily RESPONSE 2le;
but the men who have taken Office through
such means and who are actually exereis-
ing the power of the Government upon
such authority are scarcely less guilty than
they who conceived and executed this I'm
paralleled political swindle.
The Fraudulent President and his adyis-
ers having undertaken to forsake the ans
cent ways of the Republican party; and
having invited a Democrat and former
Rebel to occupy one of the most important
offices in the Cabinet. propose TO debauch
the honest public sentiment of the South
by the bestowal of Offices and by an enor-
nous system of Government subsidies to
railroads and canals, hoping thus to cons
plete in corruption the work berun in
fraud. At the same time with hypocritic-
al pretences of reforming the civil service,
they aatter the vanity Of Northern theorists
to the end that the great crime in which
this Administration is founded may be over
looked and condoned.
Against this complex scheme, as against
the @ongp;~ators with whom it ORIGIN tied
we call upon the people TO commence inns
mediately a campaign alike mcrciless and
pertinacous. We promise them thai from

F.C. Humphreys, one of the Fraudu-
lent Hayes electors of Florida, who was
counted in by Bradley, Strong and Mil
Ter, has got his reward by being appoint
ed Collector of the Port of Pensacola.
He had previously held the Office of Ship
Commissioner for number of years, but
resigned the place when a question was
raised as to his competency to serve in
both capacities.
Hiram Potter, the former Collector at
Pensacola, was acceptable as good and
officer, but he lacked the great qualifica-
ton, in civil service reform, of being a
Hayes elector, who helped to steal the

The Rev. DR.. Mallalieu, mover of the
fire-eating resolutions in the New Eng
land conference, bids fair to become as
notorious as Bishop Gilbert Haven, the
champion third-termer of New England. I.
While giving his reasons for the faith
that is in him. Rev. DIR. Mallalieu, des
clared his bell eff that "if the United States
troops had not been stationed in South
Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, Samuel
j. Tilden would have been President of
the United States" 1t was in the same
breath that he compared Mr.. Tilden to
Aaron Burr. We quite agree with Rev.
DIR. Mallalieu as to the efficacy of the
troops; If they had not been on hand Til
den's honest majority in the "doubtful"
states would have been SO large that res
turning boards could not have overcome
and it, the Electoral Commission would
never have had being.

Belknap and Brides.
From The Cincirmati Enquirer,

WASHINGTON, April 2.-There was a
lovely young girl known as "Daisy,"
when she was charming child in your
vicinity. She has been in Washington
only one winter, and behold how she
emerges from the chrysalis, "the blond
est girl in Washington" to use her own
language. She innocently asks what
harm it is to take bribes, and triumphant
ly says: "Mr: Belknap took 'em, and I
don't care. Mr.. Belknap is gentleman
and they used to give such nice kettle
drums." She has a settled conviction
that there is no sort of wrong in swlndl-
ing if the Government is the victim.

AN INDICTMENT OF THE REPUB-
LICAN PARTY BY THE REPUB-
LICAN ORGAN.
From the New York Times.

FROM the New York Times.
Is there any doubt that the life of
the Republican party has been gradu-
ally squeezed out of 1t by the office
mongers? Our organization in New
York is not Republican, because it is
not representative, The machinery,
which in theory is contrived 10 give
effort to the desire and purpose of the
party, does nothing of the kind. 1t has
been seized by the Federal office-hold-
ers and used to promote the interests
OF their chiefs and the followers Of the
chiefs. From the primary meeting to
the State convention the process which
nominally is representative one is a
farce. Every step in it is arranged be-
forehand by men who do not care
what the Republican party really
wants, but who care only that it shall
be madeto appear to want that which
the managers are after.
The Gentle of this vicious and stupid
system, which leaves no room in State
politics for any considerable number
of earnest and disinterested men, is,of
course; in the New Yerk Custom
House. This Is not because the chief
~AtShoAo shVAC otO WOIuO tuhu al Otu6I
public offices, but because they have
some 1900 men under them, from
whom they are compelled to require a
certain amount Of political service in
the interest of their leaders, whoever
these may be. Republican principles
are necessarily of very little impor-
tance to men who know that their per
sonal prosperity depends, not on the
elevation of these principles, but on
carrying this or that district or this or
that convention for their immediate
superiors. A natural consequence of
the arbitrary management of patron
age, of which the Custom House is the
worst, because the most extensive ex-
ample is hopeless tendency to bar
gains. Men with honest convictions
and free to carry them out do not
trade in politics. But the history of
the Republican party in this State and
city Is record of innumerable in
stances of traffic and dicker. Propos-
ed reforms, which the best sentiment
of the party unquestionsbly demanded
have been postponed, prevented, or
cefeated altogether by combinations"
with officeholding Republican mana
gers.

D1SAGREEING WITH BRO. HAYES.

THE NEW YORK METHODIST CONFERENCE
THINKS "FRATERNITY" ovERDoNE.
"Go through the South where you
will" said the Rev, Mr.. Lansing, on be-
half of the Fresdmen's Aid Socieey, to
the Now York Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference at Kingston yesterday, "1rom tho
pulpit down the freedmen are wanting
in morality. The South wants the nigger
to be an educated nigSeR and not an edu-
Gated man." Mr.. Lansing added that he
was afraid the North was forgetting the
colored man in this ''fraternity." He
was not ready to "clasp the blood,red
hand in peace" until some of the oppress
sors of the negro had been punished.
The conference applauded and seemed
to agree with the Rev: Mr.. Lansing,
There was a lively debate about the
White Plains trouble, which ended in
the adoption of recommendation that
the services at Moran's Hall by the First
Church be discontinued. The proposed
division of the Poughkeepsie District is
the order for to-day's meeting.

Especial Despatch to the Gdzetee.l
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Enough GER
tificates have now been made use of
in paying members, and in other mat
