had only been we'll concealed--is the
showing up of the rascality by which this
government has been controlled all these
long years. Had this rascality been con
fined exclusively to the carpet-baggers of
the Southern States, it would have been
nothing more than was expected. But
recent developments show that these
carpet baggers were the mere tools of men
from whom the country had right to
expect something better When public
men like Sherman, Matthews, Garfield,
Chandler, and others are more than
implicated-yes, found to be the moving
spirit Of this monstrous fraud-and these
men are at the head and having controlling
influence in the affairs of the government,
it is high time for the people to pause, and
having paused long enough to see the
enormity of the crimes these rascals have
perpetrated, to commence applying correc-
tons. We have iails and penitentiaries in
this country. and of what use are they If
not intended for such characters? Instead
of meeting the just reward their villianies
entite them to, show me a single one OF
the more important actors in this great
fraud, by which the entire country was
outrageously cheated, that has not been
rewarded by some Office of honor and
emolument We arc now told by the
republican press of the country that
Anderson is fraud, cheat. perjurer,
and william. The democratic party have
charged these things all along, not confn-
ing themselves to Anderson. but making
the accusation a general one against the
whole army of carpet baggers who have
been ruling and H1ining certain OF
the Southern States. They were
satisfied, and elected proof upon
proof to show that the tools that the
republican party we're using tor the con-
troll of the south, were utterly unscrupulous
and better deserved convict's punishment
than political reward. 1t is no use now
for the republican party to try and wash
their hands of them. Every time the
investigating committee unearths rascal
in the south, they dig out two belonging to
the north. Well, what are you going tC
