the peoples representatives have al
lowed the fraud to be established and to
be continued. And now these bold, bad
men-these usurpers of the rights and
property of the people-possess them
selves ofall the moneys paid to support
the government, and add all the profits
to those accumulated in long years OF
luxurious official service, and defy even
an investigation of the great fraud. Are
the people too cowardly to investigate and
expose the fraud?

The steamship State of California was
launched at Philadelphia on Thursday
last. The fact that the joiners' work has
been stopped on the upper deck for altera-

strengthens the suspicious that she is en-

vessel is built for speed, draws compara-
lively little water, and would prove very
troublesome cruiser

SHALL FRAUD BE SUSTAINED PIT
is quite evident from what has taken place
in Washington within the past few days
that the great question which will agi-
tate the country for some time is, shall
the great fraud perpetrated upon the peo-
pie in the election of President in 1876
be sustained?
On this question the Republican party
leaders hope to make stand that will
chlystalize the party and enable them, at
the cost Of sustaining wrong, to present a
solid front against the Democrats.
The Republican leaders present their
position thus: "The Democrats have the
right and the power to investigate this
fraud-the country expects and demands
the investigation; if they fail to inyesti-
gate we will charge them with this fail
ure on the stump, eXcusing ourselves on
the ground, first, that We had not the
power, and secondly, we had the Presi-
dent and the officers. And if the Demo
Gratis do attempt to investigate, we will
guilty and cannot stand before the fraud
when fully exposed and successfully de-
tend it before the people; to say nothing
Of the chances Of the people demanding
that Mr.. Hayes shall abandon the office
and hand it over to the Democrats
Thus our readers must see the Demo
Gratis have no other honorable and satt
course to pursue but to prove to the
country willingness to thoroughly eX.
pose the great fraud and rely upon tho
honesty and good sense Of the American
people to sustain them in a refusal Il
condone the greatest political outrage o
the age.
If Mr.. Hayes can be put into office il
this way, by fraud 50 open and bold
and hold himself in Office, or be held il
office in this way, by Cabinet composeC
in part Of men who participated in tn,
fraud and assisted in its preparation
then other men may do 50 with very
Slight improvement on the present bolt
operation.
And this cannot be prevented by any
change that may be made in the Electora
system.
If this is permitted to be fully carried
out the cowardice Of the people will b,
established. And the Congressional lead
ers will only have to augment tile army
and the usurping President appoint at it,
head bold bad men to prevent the inaug
uration Of the peoples choice at any time
The present fraud is a peculiar ar
rangement-and one of the most glar
ing that could be made. If the col
sprators were at the head of al
open usurpation it could hardly ap
pear worse. The President is pu
there by his neighbor's success at plot
ting. That neighbor fills the Treasury
his brother commands the armies. Al
the men who united in cotnselling am
sustaining the fraud fill places of prof
and honor. And dreading and fearing tn

Mr.. Schell Installed.

Hon. w. p. Schell, the new Auditor Gen.
eral, was sworn into office Tuesday at II a.
M, in presence of number of prominent
friends of both parties. The oath was ad-
mnistered by Deputy Secretary Linn, and
was afterward taken by all the appointees Of
Gen. Schell. Each appoiutee subscribed it
with his name and the several papers were
then entered on the file in the Secretary's
office. After these formalities Gen. Schell
made few remarks, saying substantially
that in making the appointments he had
aimed to select gentlemen with whom he
would not be ashamed to associate, not
merely in an official capacity, but as friends
and companions. He asked each one so to
conduct himself as to prove that he had not
made mistake-to act in such a way that
no reproach would be brought upon the
desired that everything should be harmoni-
Gus in his office, and to that end would in
sist that whenever any one of the officials
felt that he had a grievance it should be re-
ported to him personally and not whispered
about among outsiders, where it would be
msrepresented and exaggerated. 1t would
be his aim to second every effort his en-
ployees made to perform the duties Of the
office faithfully. During Office hours all APP
pontees would be expected to be at their
posts, in the performance of their duties.
While he could not reasonably object to
friendly courtesies to acquaintances, he
hoped visits on mere personal matters would
be discouraged, that nothing might inter
fere with the efficient performance of their
respective stations. He should require a
register to be kept of every letter, sent and
received all moneys must be paid over to
Chief Clerk Herrick press copy must be
made of every letter written; all letters must
be submitted to the chief clerk, or in his ab.
sence to Mr.. Kerr, who will then act in his
stead. In conclusion, he called attention to
those provisions of the penal code relating
to the alteration or destruction of public
documents, aud to the illegal use of public
moneys. These provisions, said the genera
should caution all State officials to take heed
how they administer their duties, and hi
sincerely hoped no person in his department
would render himself liable to these penal
ties.
| The impression made upon those present
| by the General 5 remarks was that of mar
conscientously determined to perform tn
duties reposed upon him, and who would re-
quire strict fidelity on the part of all thu
employees of his office.-Patri0t.

OUR POSITION.

Financial issues are not new questions in
politics They have agitated the public mind
since the days of Adam. They have never
been made strictly party questions and never
can be.
1st. We have been, and are now opposed
to the Resumption Act, as our columns bear
ample testimony. We believe it was meas
ure passed in the interest of capitalists
passed by Republican Congress. and OPP
posed by the Democratic party. We opppos-
ed forced resumption because it was unjust
and oppressive, and compelled the debtor to
pay larger amount than they had contract
ed for.
I'd. We favored the remonetization of sill
yer because it gave circulating medium Of
intrinsic value, even if its purchasing power
was less than that of gold. All values find
their level.
Sd. So long as the National Government
deals in pa per currency, it should assume the
responsibility for the whole of Tissue the
whole of it-and make it legal tender fol-
dues and imports, and other obligations moi
otherwise expressly provided for. 1t would
therefore be profit to wipe out the circua
tion of National Banks.
4th. Either free rate Of interest, or nc
legislation that prefers, banks, individuals
or Saving Funds.
9Th. Ny exemption from taxation of any
species of property, real and personal, be i
bords or otherwise.
