which the country ought not to forget.
It was an issue between the Democrats,
as the opponents of resumption, and the
Republicans. as its steadfast. promoters.
between dishonesty and honesty, the first
struggling to impair the national credit
and the last to uphold it And the
record Is just as clearly against the
Democrats in other respects. Their whole
course has been to humiliate the national
government. and to promote the lost
cause. Secretary Sherman has done a
good deal to expose the fallacy and the
humbuggery of the rebel usurpers, and
put the party under lasting obligations.
The national greenbackers show their
animus in assiling the proposed conven-
ton of the Bankers Association in Sar-

fact is, that the meeting will be com
posed of men who know more about
financial management and business in
general than the communists ever dream
ed, men whose honesty is unquestioned
and whose ability has evinced itself on
many occasions. The subjects they will
discuss may not be agreeable to the

public honesty. and will develope new

THE MEANING OF THE EXTRA
.-~ SESSION.


1t is matter Of proof under oath in
dubitable, that the election in New York
State in 1868 was carried by sheer and
outrageous fraud. that 81, 900 fraudulent
votes were thrown in the city of New
York alone, with which they were ena-i
bled to carry the State by only 10000
majority. In fact, the State went Re-
publican by $4,000. The first and fore
most point in the election law was that
the United States should have a
man at this end of the sballot-box
and another at that, one a Republi-
can and the other a Democrat, who
should stay there from the time the bal
lot-box was opened in the morning until
the last vote was counted at night. and
be the official witnesses of that grand
transaction until it closed. Was that
fraud? Was that oppression /? And yet
every Democrat in Congress voted against
it, aud fought against it, and denounced
it as as oppression, and demanded free
election. (Laughter.) Oh, oh, free !
What kind of freedom do they want but
the old freedom of Tammany Hall, the
freedom of stuffed ballot-boxes without
witnesses, the freedom to change votes
without witnesses, the freedom to steal
Liberty from her cradle. Let me explain
in one word the meaning Of this whole
extra session. They have a solid South,
All they want is the States of New York
and Ohio. With these thew nar.s- a.

1t looks as if the Federal Government
were trifing with George Reynolds, the
Mormon, instead of Furnishing him. No
sooner is he sentenced than, while he is
utterly rebellious and defiant, an act of
clemency is extended to him, and he is
removed from the Nebraska Penitentiary
to "doby" cabin four miles from Salt
Lake City where his confinement will
be of the mildest, where he can see his
family and friends, enjoy his martyr
DOM and have all the comforts of a
home The reasons for this clemency
seem insufficient. Reynolds has been
convicted Of bigamy and is one of thous-
and who are practising it persistently.
He ought to have exemplary punish
ment. He is the first Mormon convicted
under United States law passed many
years ago his sentence was light. and
if he is thus practically relieved from its
discomforts his punishment is mock.

The Hartford CourG1t corroborates
the Times exposure of the Tilden bust

1t says ut does not require a very
careful study Of the election returns from
this State to justify the conclusion of
the New York Times that the vote for
Mr.. Tilden in 1876 was very largely
due to fraud. The Republicans of Hart
ford have since discovered how it was

800 to 1900. Sir Garnet Wolseley
telegraphs his belief that the war is over,
and that he does not want any more
men or supplies at present. We should
have greater confidence in the imme-

victory were it not for the facts that
Cetywayo had previously withdrawn his
magazine and stores to securer retreat
| SO that the chief loss of this engagement
is prestige amongst people easily dis.
couraged by defeat. and that since the
victory Lord Chelmsford has withdrawn

AFTER brief and stormy existence
the Chicago Herald had to yield up
the journalistic ghost. 1t aourished
like a green-bay horse, or even as a
green-back banner, and promised to
outlive all the papers in Chicago, but
it only held out about three months
1t was too good to live in the pestilen-
tial political atmosphere of such a
wicked city. Chicago is not a healthy
place for a Democratic paper. 1t may
be said that few are born there and
none survive long. The man who
starts another one will not come along
soon, and when he does he will wish
he had not come at all. Democratic
editors in Chicago are of few days and
full of sorrow. Their lives are all
vanity and vexation of spirit.

AN AssIGNEE'S DISCOVERY
Why a St. Louis Savings Banl

The Cashier That Secretly Loaned Out
100000.

ST.. Louis, May 26.-Mr Dierber-
ger, assignee of the Broadway Savings
Bank, has discovered in private
drawer of j. P. Krieger, ir., cashier
of that institution, papers in the form
of checks, drafts, ETC., which show
that Kreiger and Meyer A, Gold
soil have been privately connected in
the use of the funds of the bank, and
that Goldsoll is indebted to the bank
about 100000, the recovery Of which
is very doubtful.
Similar papers were found in Krie-
gers room at his fathers residence,
where he lived. To what particular use
Krieger and Goldsoll put the money
obtained from the bank, or whether
Krieger derived any benefit from it,
does not appear, but that Krieger was
in collusion with Goldsoll and fur
niShed him with money with proper Sc
curity can be no question. These
transactions have extended over a
period of nearly three years, and most
of them have been studiously kept
from the knowledge of the directors.

The bill reported by Mr.. Bayard to

such coins legal tender in sums not

Mr.. Edmunds spoke against the bill,
and when he concluded consideration
began of the bill heretofore introduced
by Mr. Mcdonald authorizing the
employment of the military and land
and naval forces in certain cases, and
to repeal the election laws.
Mr.. Mcdonald claimed that the
representatives have the absolute right
to prescribe the machinery for CON
ducting elections. No power for this
purpose was ever delegated to the
general government. and it was
never exercised until Of late years un-
der authority of law through the
agency of supervisors. Debates in
the ccnyeation which adopted the
constitution support the position
he had taken, nor was the principle
departed from until 1870, when the
false plea of security and freedom and
fairness at elections was urged as an
excuse for the enactment of an elec
ton law. The control of the South.

publicans, and hence they assumed
the power of interfering in elections
for their own advantage.

ing of the colored brethren held here
to discuss the negro exodus, Fred
Douglass said that it was somewhat
singular that this did not occur until

bill, proposing to set apart aWestern a
Territory for the negro. He denied
that this exodus was a solution of the
question as to the destiny of the ne
gro, He believed that the negro could
live down the prejudice. He had been
mobbed in fremont Temple insulted
ON cars and steamboats, in Massa-
chusetts, and you might have said
then there was no protection for
the negro; but to-day there is
protection there. There was a time
when the Irish was iasulted when
converts we're burned, and In New
York the brains ofinfant negroes were
dashed out against the lamp posts,
but it is not 80 now. He had faith
that the people of the South, among
whom there were some bad men, will
see that they are wrong, and will yet
respect the negro. Mr.. Douglass then
referred to the condition of colored
people ia Kansas, reading from the
Cherokee Advocate, and letter from

The Tom MOORE centennial
will be celebrated here Wednesday
night at the Peabody Hotel, under the
auspices Of the Irish Literary Asso-
citation. 1t will be attended by invited
guests only and will be quite a
recherche affair, If Tom Moore could
come back and see Irish Americans
and their friends holding feast in
honor of his birthday, he might modi-
fy some of his poetry and prose in
regard to Americans. He had a good
Irish heart in him, but head full of
English ideas and prejudices in regard
to this country. So much for living
the greater part of his life in England.
However, we will overlook all that,
and remember only the sweet and
beautiful things he wrote, which
adorn all the literary and classical
libraries in the world. Tom was a
good fellow and deserves a centennial.
