Mr.. Potter, OF the Potter Committee, is in
New Orleans looking after frauds. Mrs.
jerks is still sporting with him. She dropped
a package OF letters, and they were picked
up by carpet-store clerk. In them was
what purported to be the genuine SHERMAN
letter. Mr.. Potter saw the trick, and pro-
nounced the letter genuine forgery.

Some six years ago we heard Mr.. Preston
Beck say in the House of Representatives
that when the Democrats attained control
of that body, they would unearth fraud S
and robberies committed by the Republican
party that would astound the nation, and
stink in the nostrils of all the people. That
control has bsen with the Democrats for
four years, and Investigating committees
have moused through every hole and corner
of every department of the Government,
and not a single fraudulent transaction dis.
covered, nor illegal loss to the Government
found, perpetrated by Republicans. Mr..
Beck is now In the Senate, but he clamors
no more about frauds. We suspect, indeed,
that as courageous and honest man, as we
believe him to be, he has very great dis
gust for the cavortings Of some OF his DEM
ocratic friends, who are constantly flushing
imaginary frauds, which upon examination,
prove to be nothing akin to fraud, and only
the evidence of the superservlcea5le activi-
Jy of dyspeptic demagogues.

The statement has been published for a
week past that Hon. A. G.. Thurman had
positively declined the use of his name as
the Demoera tic candidate for Governor oil
Ohio. But this does nottsatisfy his Buckeye
friends. They insist that he is the only man
with whom they stand ghost of chance
of carrying the State this fall, and as Ohio
has come to be regarded as the keystone
State of the Unioniin Presidential election,
the expectations Of the Democracy and those
OF AIR. Thurman rest upon the slender hope
Of their success in October next. 1t is stated
that should Mr.. Thurman be forced to accept
the nomination, the Republicans will con-
front him with John Sherman. and the Pres
idcntial battle Of 1880 would thus virtually
be determined..a year in.'adyance OF the for
NAL election. We should like to see Mr..
Thurman s tergivcrsations on the finance ques-
ton and opposition to the national banks,
and John Sherman's straightforward, bold,
Incorporating support Of national faith
and the financial system of the government,
including the national bank system, brought
in contrast. 1t would be invested with nat
ional interest and foreshadow national re-
suits.

Suggested CONCENTRATION.

1t islstated that a number Of prominent
Republicans have been thinking over a
move, after resumption has beep practically
and legally effected, to get the President to
Issue congratulatory proclamation declar-
ing the fact of formal resumption. and
claiming for the Republican party the hon
er and glory Of the contamination. Whether
this will be done or not, we cannot say. but
it would not be out of place Or immodest to
Go so. There is no question OF the fact that
resumption was and is Republican meas
IRE, and that opposition to it was Democrat
ic policy. 1t divided the two parties almos t
as completely as any other question: with Il
few Republicans here and there opposing
it, and like number of Democrats approx
ing it. But, in the passage of the act and
all discussion Of it since, the Democrats as a
party were bitterly opposed to it and the
Republicans for it.
Secretary Sherman stands out pre- .cm inent
as the champion of resumption, and TO him
more than any otherone man is due the credit
of the act and its execution. As chairman Of
the Senate Finance Committee, he drew up
the law, and by singular order of fortune
he was called to the head OF the Treasury
Department at time when it was necessa-
~ to commence preparations for carrying
the law into effect. With steady nerve and
clear conviction, he has worked with an in
dustry rarely equaled to vindicate the wis
dom OF the law, and his labors have been
crowned with the most consummate success.
Villifcation and abuse, such as have rarely
been heaped upon public man, have been
poured out against him from every blatant
demagogue In the country, yet he pursued
the even tenor OF his way, turning neither to
the right nor left, but directing his energies
to the accomplishment Of the end contem-
plated by the law, until opposition has been
sllenced in the presence OF the completed
fact.
1t is marvellous achievement Of states
manship and proper subject for national
congratulation, as we'll as a cons ummation
of which the Republican party may well feel
proud. And with the fact of resumption,
marking new era in the progress and great
ness and wealth of the nation, will be asso-
ciated the name of John Sherman, as one OF
the greatest financiers OF the age.
