campaign by pointing to the fact that
the Democrats had nominated two
Union war veterans, who were running
on their ticket in Ohio on 'sthree legs
between them," while the Radical hypo-
critical war party had nominated two
stay-at-home officeholders whom they
hoped to elect by the capital they could
make out Of the false charge that wound
ed Union soldiers had teen discharged
from the offices about the Capitol by
the Confederate Brigadiers. But they
will find that the people are not to be
deceived by the whine which the stay
at-home Senators and Representatives
have raised. Mr.. voorhees, ran rapidly
over the whole twenty-seven Northern,
Eastern and Western States from whose
Senators present the cry went up that
there were so many Confederate Briga-
diers there from the South 20 confront
them, and showed that there were but
tkree U Mon soldiers in the Senate from
those twenty-seven States. Mr.. Conk-
ling had said there were four but air.
Voorhees, could count but three, Bum
side, Logan and Plumb, and asked why
it was that the "home guards" were
there keeping themselves in snug places
while the men from the North who had
been in the war and fought the battles
were now kept at home. The Southern
people sent to Congress 03 Senators and
Representatives of whom IS had been
| Confederate soldiers, while the ~ loyal
States having 269 Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress had but 81 Union
soldiers there. "And now," said Mr..
VOORHEES,, ''these rear men in war and
front men in peace fill all the air with
dismal cry over the injustice which they
themselves have inflicted on the soldier"
| That is true to the letter. The laws
are moulded to keep Senators and Rep
sentatives in their fat places. Every
Marshal and Deputy Marshal and every
otficeholder is required to contribute Of
his salary and labor to keep these
"home guards" in their places and that
is one of the reasons why they oppose
the change in the Federal election laws.
u. 5. Marshal John Davenport's efforts
with the aid of the n. Y. Custom
House and U. S. officers were the influ-
ences that returned Mr. Conkling to his
seat.
These Federal election laws are all in
favor of one party and all the people are
thus made TO contribute to the election
of the Radical officers. There is not a
Democratic L. 5. Marshal in all the
land. Not one from Maine to New
MeXico-from the Atlantic to the Pacific

= there is no justice in the U. S. Courts

that has anything to do with the U. 5
Courts to be found in the land who is
