more than ten and quarter millions dol
lars during the month of October. The re-
ceipts from customs duties reached over
fifteen and half millions. The importa-
tion of foreign gold since the LIST of July is
over fifty millions. The increase in National
bank note circulation was over three mill
ions in the last month alone.
The Gazette says the late United States
Grand Jury, organized under the patent
process were in session twelve DAYS and de-
voted eighty four hours to the business. In
that time they found seventy-oae true bills,
being SIX day, very near, and almost one
an hour That was lightning work. and yet
the jury found time to throw a lot of jury
mud at the Postmaster. The time has fully
come when the whole Grand Jury system,
State and national, ought to be abolished.
1t is bad system and worthy only of the
dark ages. 1t is a star chamber in its worst
features When man is indicted he is half
convicted in public estimation, and al
though he may be entirely innocent and
proved 30 in court, he never fully RECEIVERS
his standing in the community. See the
wrong committed by the la,e United States
Grand Jury in the case of the Postmaster.
1t had no legal evidence against him, and
yet it stepped outside OF its province tn cen
sure him, and it did this in such way as
to leave room for the impression that Mr..
Loge had been guilty of something terribly
wrong.-Mr Chandler had the confidence of
President Lincoln, and after him of Presi-
dent Grant. He had the high satisfaction
of seeing the Republic saved by the patri
otic course in which he bore distinguished
part, and even those that had tried to de-
stroy it confessing that this was the better
result. Not often does public
man have career in such great
events, and never does he play his part in
them with more fidelity to all that patriot
ism demands. Through all this public life
| Mr.. Chandler passed without any suspicion
being cast upon his integrity. No one has
ever charged him with turning his public
office to his private pocket In all this
great conflict of right and wrong, of free
dom and slavery, of the people of the free
States for equal political rights with those
OF the slave OF resistance to the degradation
of all parts IT the Government to propa-
gandism of slavery, and OF patriotism with
treason, Mr.. Chandler bore prominent
part. He was Outspoken and courageous

Grant assisted in smuggling Hayes into
office. Perhaps he expects that Hayes will
do him the same friendly turn. Zone hand

The death of Hon. Zachariah Chandler is a
hard blow for the Republican party. He
was one of their chief men and one of the
most thorough and able politicians ever
seen in the United States. ITO the bold
belongs the world'' seemed to have been
his maxim.
TThe Volksblattl
The most lying sheet in the whole of
| America is the Cincinnati Freie Presse.
The reports of the increasing Grant fes-
tivities are beginning to become monoto-
nous and wearisome.
The Freie Presse can't even with a kick
be induced to give a low chirp against the
new Gas Company.

The demise of United States Senator
Chandler will cause no change in the politi-
cal aspect of the Senate The vacancy
caused by his death will be filled by Re-
publican. 1t is still uncertain who his sue
cessor will be.
