The confession of MCLIN and DEN
MS, in regard to the infamous frauds
perpetrated to fix the State of Flori-
da for HAYES, proves that what Sen
ator. CoNkL1NG expressed in his in
terview with a representative of the
New York World, is about correct.
1t is as follows:
"The result will be. that the whole
country will be appalled, by The dis
honor of this Administration. l tell
you sir, that never in the history OF
this Nation has there been in the en-.
tire four years of an Administration
so much corruption, bartering Of. Of
fees, rewarding of political f~avorites,
traffic with political leaders, and bar
gain and sale of the electoral fran
chise as during the past year. Peo-
pie will not believe it until the proof
is shown them; but the proof will be
forthcoming. People say that Hayes
is a good man and means well, but
they do not know what theyare talk.
ing about. When all the facts are
known about this Administration nc
one will attempt to excuse the mar
on account of his supposed goodness
nor yet because he is weak and igno
rant. The acts that have disgracei
this Administration have all beer
before the open eyes of the Presi
dent"

The United States Senate has
passed the bill to repeal the bank
ruptlaw by the overwhelming major
ity of 81 to 6. The following is the
text of the bill as it passed.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America, in Con
gress assembled, that the bankrupt
law approved March 2, 1867, and all
acts in amendment or supplemental
ry thereto or in explanation thereof,
be and the same are hereby repeal
ed; provided however, that such re
peal shall in no name invalidate or
affect any case in bankruptcy insti-
tuted and pending in any court prior
to the day when this act shall take
effect, but as to all such pending
cases and all future proceedings
therein the acts hereby repealed
shall continue in full force and effect
until the same shall be fully dispos-
ed of in the same manner as ifsaid
acts had not been repealed.

The failures for the first three
months of 1878, as reported by the
Mercantile Agency Of R. G. Dun &
Co., were 1856 in number, with liza
bilities to the amount of $50, 600, 900.
The list is larger by 495 firms than
the number reported for the CORES
ponding quarter of last year. There
is also an increase of $27, SOC, 900 in
the liabilities. One of the explana-
tons ventured for this unfavorable
exhibit is that san enormous shrink.
age in resources has occurred with.
in the last six months.

H HN N-Hs
There are men who style them
selves Laboring-men, who have no
more sympathy for q poor man than
a wolf has. for a lamb! Such are
the men who beguile poor laboring
men into the meshes of selfishness
set by the rich to entrap the poor,
and this is one of the reasons why
poor men in political contests vote
directly contrary to their own inter
ests. The condition of honest labor
will not be changed until the labor
ers themselves change it at the bal
lot-boxes and it will not be done by
voting for rich men who call them
selves laboring men!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-05-02

HAYES has been accused of chang
ing his politics, and now he is &C
cused of changing his religion, the
Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser
gravely making the charge that be
fore his election he vas just as much
of a free thinker as Colonel Robert
Ingersoll. Just what the stalwart
Republicans will do. to Mr.. Hayes
next is beyond the ordinary imagin-
alton. They have already made him
out a Benedict Arnold, and now they
are trying to prove him a Judas Is
CARROT, a Tom Paine and everything
else.

THE BIG sWINDLE.

During the recent debate in the
United States Senate, MI. Beck,
democrat Of Kentucky, presented
a detailed history, day and date, of
all the bonds sold by the govern
Yment, and the sums realized from
them in greenbacks at the latter's
specie valuation, from and including
1868, or down to the period of 1859,
when the bond-holders succeeded in
getting through the legislation to
pay them in coin what was lawfully
payable in legal tender money. 1t is
unnecessary to go through the de-
tail of figures. The following is the
difference between the face of the
bonds and the value of the currency
paid the government for them, as as
certained by Senator Beck from the
official reports, with interest on that
Il .

Three negroes made speeches on
the gallows before they were hanged
in Louisiana. One said that whisky
led to the crime he committed. A
second confessed that he murdered
his partner for money, while the third
called on God to witness that he was
Innocent. The first was willing to
die, and expected to be saved in
heaven, the second believed God
would forgive him, and the third was
willing to meet his Maker "where
the angels would carry him in tri-
umph to heaven" When the trap
was sprung one Of the victims fell to
the ground, the moose having been
insecurity fastened. They took him
into the Jail, and, while the others
were dying rearraigned the trap.
Then they swung off for the second
time the man who had fallen, and
this time he was successfully hang

The retired list is dotted all over
with men who have been assigned to
it with their rank and pay of Major
Generals, Brigadier- Generals, &C.,
among them the notorious DAN SICK
ELS. Republican votes put him there
and Republican editors sanctioned
it, but because the wounded and
MANNED veteran of two wars, Gen.
SHIELDS, was put on the list by Dem
ocratic votes, these fellows are howl

Very consistent, indeed.
