Russia is accused of deliberately pro-

NEW ORLEANS.
Burke,s Reply to Chandler.

New Orleans, Jan. 3o..-The following
is Burke's reply to Chandler;
NNw ORLEANS, Jan. 2o, 1878.
w. E. Chandler, Washington City:
Before considering the subject matter
of telegram received this day, signed
wv. E, Chandler" desire to ask if the
author is the Chandler who, as Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, travelling
through the South in 1868, ,corruptly par.
ticpated in the spoil gathered by Super,
vising Treasury agents engaged in rob-
bing their government and defrauding
the distressed people ofthis and adjacent
states? Is it the Chandler who, as Secre-
tary of the Republican National Com
mittee, with certain Republicans from
Louisiana, lat a conference or conferences
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York con.
cerning Louisiana affairs about October,
1872, secretly and corruptly conspired to
take advantage ofthe absence from Louis
siana of the Governor thereof to assem-
BILE secretly the Legislature, impeach the
Governor, seize the government and use
its machinery to carry the election of
1927
Is it the Chandler who earned and res
ceived fee from Kellogg of three thou.
sand dollars, in IS73,and the encomium
that he had done more for him than any
one, except Attorney General Williams,
in maintaining foul and infamous usur.
patton of the office of Governor of this
state?
Is it the Chandler who encouraged,
abetted and conspired with the infamous
allies in this city to rob $4,000 citizens of
the franchise and drag them before the
federal courts on or about the day of the
late election, who, in November,
1876, by telegraph, guaranteed Kellogg
that the whole power of the government
would sustain the Returning Board in
counting the vote of Louisiana for the
Republican candidates and then hasten
ed to Florida to manipulate the frauds of
that state count?
Is it the Chandler who has of late
been vainly seeking to stir up the hell
broth of sectional hate and foul his polit>
ical nest to the disgust of decent citizens
north and south? If yea, permit me to
say that the inquistorial powers of polit>
ical tramps terminated in March last such
persons are subjects of the inquisiton;if
nay, the important telegraph shall have
such consideration as it deserves.

JOHN YOUNG BRO WIN DENIES The
SUMS CHARGES.

Louisville, KY, February Hon.
John Young Brown will tomorrow publish
in the Courier Journal,i in reply to the at.
.tacks recently made on him by the New
York Sun, in which it was charged that
the by tendency during the Electoral
count ofa claim for the pay of member
of the Fortieth Congress, in which for
disloyalty he was refused a seat, he was
influenced in his action. He shows by
extracts from the Congressional Record
that there was nothing clandestine in
the passage Of this resolution granting
him this pay,as charged by the Sun, also
by the statement of his colleagues and
others, that he refused to make applica>
ton for the pay until the claim was in
dorsed on its merits by the Committee on
Appropriations. He publishes statements
from Senators McCreery and Stevenson,
Speaker Randall and others, that the
claim was just and proper; also, a memo!
randum signed by over forty members
of the last Congress, most Of them voting
differently from himself during the Elec-
toral count, that they know Of no man who
believes for an instant the charges of the
Sun. He reviews the matter at length,
giving full particulars Of the claim and
the proceedings had concerning it.

THE House Committee on Appropris-
tions, at Washington, has finished the
Consular and Diplomatic bill, and made
a reduction of $1lS,939. The bill appro-
PIRATES 81, ,019, 1856. and reduces the sala-
ries of all foreign ministers from what
they have been, as well as abolishing a
few. The present committee, or the
Democratic members Of it, are inclined
to 60 further. They have determined
there is no need of having any di-
plomatic representatives at the courts Of
Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark,
Greece or TO the Swiss Republic. This
would destroy the present refuge Of five
citizens of the Republic who are having
a very comfortable time, with nothing to
do, abroad. The Democrats also propose
to cut down the salaries of the missions
to Great Britain, France, Germany and
Russia from SIT 800 each to $4,000; Of
the missions to Spain, Austria, Italy,
Brazil, Mexico, Japan and China, from
$4,000 TO $4,000; of the missions to
China and Peru, from $4,000 to $4,000.
The salaries of the missions to Sweden,
Turkey, Venezuela, the Hawaiian ISL
ands, the Argentine Republic and the
United States of Columbia, are fixed at
81, 800 each. The salaries of the Consuls
General at London, Paris, Havana and
Rio Janeiro will be reduced from $4,000
to 5000 year. The Republicans will
make the most determined opposition to
this reduction, and it is by no means GER
tain that the committee will succeed
finally in its efforts to economize in the
manner proposed.

HOW ABOUT MR. CHANDLER?

Mr.. William E. Chandler appears to
have reached rather an interesting epoch
in his political career. For years past
he has has been esteemed worthy to be
a High Priest in the Republican Temple.
Scarcely a word was breathed against
him. Recently, all at once, he has be-

The Cleveland Herald warmly approves
the Presidents position on remonetiza-

the full use of silver along with gold, and

The Cleveland Plain Dealer last week
printed the report ofthe Directors of the
Cleveland Workhouse, and from it we
learn that intemperanCe is the main
cause of crime and destitution in that
city, as it is elsewhere. The workhouse
has been in operation seven years, and
in that time has had eight thousand
inmates. Three.fourth ofa the inmates
are charged with intoxication, of offences
committed under the influence of King
Alcohol. The report says 10 Cleveland

EX-SENATOR ALEXANDER RAMSEY, of
Minnesota, boldly expresses the opinion
that "the bestthing the Republican party
can do is tounload Hayes" That opinion
has been spreading among Republicans

What shall we think of the Democrat?
During all of the weeks that the REPos-
tToRY has been engaged in ventiIating
and criticizng the careessness' and ex'
travaganCe of the county officials, we
have patiently waited and hoped and
urged the cooperation of the DeMOCrat-
Repository.
And haven't we been cooperating
Why, bless your little John Sherman
soul, did we not cooperate and correct
your statements about those bridge fills
In last weeks Repository not word was
said about that ten dollar fill which the
Repository said cost $751; Not a word said
about that $3.50 charge, that cost but
$3670!
And the Repository and Buckeye Slate
have not a word to say about the steam
heating apparatus at the Fairmount
Children's Home, that has cost the coun-
ties of Columbiana and Stark over NINE
THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND Is A
FAILURE! The smart Columbiana
Republican Commissioners had hand
in that. Why don't the Buckeye and
Repository explain this? And why are
they now SO quiet about the steam-heat'
ing just put in at our Infrmary? If it
was not grand success the Repository
Solomon would be saying, Didn't WE
tell you SOP"
And truly, how modest the Solomon
of the Repository asks What shall WE
think of the DemOcrat?" WE have pa
tiently waited and urged the cooperation
of the Democrat" Truly, how grateful
"we," Stark County people ought to feel
to John Sherman, Mckinley & Co., for

payment in coin and the assurance of the
act of1S70 OF payment in coin at the stand

to require it. Compliance with the con-
tract cannot be breach of public faith.
Our country is large producer of silver.
