BosToN Jan. 1.-THE truth OF the follow

has not yet found its way into print: Lust Sat
urday the members of tho Athcnian Club had
their annual dinner. This organization IL
composed OF artists. newspaper men. and
musicians. including. | am sorry TO say. a few
frivolous and irresponsible Bohemians. who do
not hesitate to scoff openly at persons and
things which Boston culture holds sacrctk
When the club was in that calmly judicial frame
OF mind which follows a good dinner. one Of the
few frivolous members arose and drew from
his pocket two newspaper slips. He was
Obliged to ask the clubs assistance. he said. in
q matter that had given him grave pcrplcxity.
He held in his hand extracts from two phil
osophical discOurses. which he would proce~
~ read.
The club gave its attention 10 the rcnding
and then the Young man explained his diem

New Jersey and the Fraud.

or the four Northern States that went for
Mr.. TfLDES for President, New Jersey gave
him by far the largest majority in proper
tion to the whole vote cast. The Democrats
Of that State, in an especial manner should
feel indignant that the candidate to whom
they gave this majority was cheated out Of
his election by conspiracy, and that by
fraudulent contrivances the office which
rlghtfully belonged to him was given TO
RuTHEgFoRD b. HAYES.
The Legislature OF New Jersey is Demo-
cratic in both branches. 1t should express
its judgment Of the great crime, and Of all
those who participated in it or have proilted
by it. NOwUrthy Democrat should permit his
course Ia he swayed by any supposed nilu-
ence which a manly declaration ON this sub
iect may have upon the nomination OF n
Democratic candidate for President in 1880.
The two questions have no relation to each
other and the one should not be confOunded
with the other.
II, however, an influential share of the
Democracy refuse to denounce the Great
Fraud through an apprehension that this
will promote or hinder the nomination OF
any particular Presidential asprant. then
1t may Toe well for them to consider
whether this neglect Of manifest duty w., #
not so denioralze their party as =, make il
OF little consequence who, NOV nominate in
'P''' Vi ""V''0 .hcy have any candidate at
all.
| At all events, LET the more earnest and in.
tellgent Democrats Of the New Jersey Leg
islaturc lead of in the right direction.

The Voice Of the Republicans In New
Hampshire.

Several journals have been commenting on
the proceedings OF the New Hampshire Re
publican Convention as If they were u tri-
umph for the HAYES men. We do not regard
them SO, by any means. Could any one rca-
Bonably expect that such u Convention so
early In the history of an Administration,
while its lap Is full Of lucrative patronage,
should turn in a body against the acting
PRESIDENT That seems to us unreasonable.
So far from the brave Mr.. CHANDLER's
movement being II failure in his own state,
we regard IL, ON the contrary, as emncntly
successful, considering the brevity of the
time that has elapsed since II was started.
The failure Of state Republican COncen-
hon 10 approve Of the past acts Of the Adj
wtnisfyation is in dseQ condemnation.
This IL fact which should not be lost
sight Of Referring to Mr.. HAYES, the Re-
publicans OF New Hampshire resolve: 1--WE
admit an honest difference Of opinion In re-
spect to his past acts
II that is support, It Is kind OF support
which would weigh down any man occupy
ing the Office Of President. The New Hamp-
shire resolutions az we read them, are a
new milestone tied to the neck of Mr.. HAYES.

NIPPLE MTr,IIELt, in his speech In tho
-qnate defending his scheme to secure n new
land grant for the benefit of JAY GOULD and
the Onion Pacific admitted that tho country
was thoroughly sick OF the system Of subsidies

marked that this universal public sentiment
was in great measure well founded We

ia states man OF such gigantic stature. and up

snail 20 ahead.

All the villanics disclosed by the recent
Investigation Of the Indian Bureau were
substantially known 10 Mr. HAYES and to
Mr.. SCHURz when JoHN O. SMITH, then
Commissioner was transferred from that
office TO the COnsulatc-Gcneral at Montreal,
which he now holds with salary of $1,000
year. Under his administration the OPP
portunhes for corruption and thicVlng
were largely increased, and the Indian
agents had free run Of the Office, access 10
all the papers and maintllucd n priyat"
correspondence with him and his clerks,
which enabled them to cheat the. Indians
with the certainty 81 escaping dotcctlon
and punishment.
There was a system Of organized robbery,
perfected by collision, inside the Bureau,
though the law intended the bureau 80 be a
protection TO the red man. Previous OK
posurcS had compelled changes in the ad-
ADMINISTRATION Of tho Office, but, instead OF
being IN the interest OF honesty and strict
accountability, 1t Is now shown that these
changes were entirely for tho benefit OF the
