A False and Impudent Claim.

a
A few plain facts will dispose of ihe
claim of Republican leaders that to
that party is due the exclusive credit
of having suppressed the rebellion and
saved the Union. In 1860 Mr.. Linloln
received for President I,S66, ,352 votes.
That cast for opposing candidates at
the same election was 2.SIO,5 sol votes.
While Lincoln was lawfully elected
President he lacked .944, Jas votes Of
having q majority of the popular vote
of the Union OficiaI documents
show that the whole number of vol
nnteers enlisted during the war was
2,67S 965. Does any sensible man sup.
pose that the I see, ,352 persons who
voted for Lincoln furnished i2,67S,967
volunteers or that his supporters q
lone could or did suppress the rebell-
ion? Let any one in any community
look around him and he will fiud that
even large majority of those who
voted for Lincoln did not enter the
army, and The votes of subsequent
elections prove this fact. The Dem
ocrats of the North most therefore
have furnished as many troops to sup
press the rebellion as did the Repub-
Iicans. The above facts and figures
demonstrate hey ond the possibility of
doubt that the impudent claim that
the Republican party is entitled to the
sole credit of putting down the REBEL
ion is utterly false ard hypocritical
and only made that they may perpet-
nate their rule of piunder. ,.., g..

The DeGOlyer Swindle.

The testimony tax before the COM
mittee to investigate the District OF
Columbia fraud, shows that Garfield
received $1,000 for his services inget.

tract, and having the same accepted by
the District Government. m Richard

ployed to make the argument for the

! Why Parsons Was Employed.
BENJAMIN r. Nickerson, in his testi.
mony before the Investigating Com
mittec, said: NJ

| process was to ironize the pavement
| was worth $4,000 Or 1000, at least,
and Mr.. Parsons was employed with
the assurance to me by Chittenden that
he was able to reach the man who
could secure the contract" av e1zitas
why Garfield Was Employed.
In letter, dated May 80, 1872, to
DeGolyer s. Mcclellan, from George
r, Chittenden, their agent, he says: -.
The influence of Gen. Garfield has
been secured by yesterday, last night
and to.day's labors. He holds the
purse strings of the United States; is
Chairman of the Committee on Ap-
propriations, and the strongest man
in Congress-! l can hardly realize that
we have Gen. Garfield with us. 1t is
rare success and very gratifying, as all
the appropriations OF the District must
come through him." - Ill t-.'' = .

and Argument. -. 't.f.s
In his testimony before the commit
tee, Alexander r. Shepherd swore:
Q. You say. speaking of the influ-
ence of Parsons, "That was followed
by frequent pressures by Mr.. Parsons,
and Gen, Garfield spoke tome. about
it once" Is that your best ,recollec-

The ststement in the same article
about foreclosure of mortgages is of
like character. 1t is well known that
Mr.. English never forecloses a mort
gage if it can be avoided, and is one
of the most induIgent of creditors.
The foreclosures referred to were in
many cases in bankrupt and other like
cases where it was necessary to per-
feet title, nor is the number of fore
closures at all remarkable when Mr..
English's immense business ia taken
into consideration. The papers of
Indianapolis have not copied the Com

done Mr.. English the least injury.

T4." H j b . .rl
We copy, the: following paragraph
from a speech delivered by General
James A. Garfield in the u. S. House
iaof Representatives May l5, 1868, and
commend it to- the consideration OF
those Radical politicians who SO per-
sistently assert that the Democratic
party cannot safely be trusted with
the control of the Government, mere
ly asking the reader te remember that
from its origin TO the breaking out OF
the, rebellion the government had been
,three-fourths of the timein the hands
OF the Democracy and to that party
owed its prosperity at home and it's
power and respect abroad. But hear
what Garfield said :.n.l-, --. a--i... si..-
"The year 1860 was one of remark
able prosperity in all branches Of bu
siness. For seventy years, no Federal
tax-gatherer had ever been seen among
the iaboring population of the United
States. Our public debt was less than
sixty five million dollars. The annu-
al Expenditures of the Government,
including interest on. the public debt,
were less than siXtyrfeur million dol
lars. The revenues from customs alone
amounted to iisix x-sevenths of the ex-
penditures. The value of our agricul-
tural products for that year amounted
to 81, ,625 100000. Our cotton crop
alone was two billion one hundred
and fifty five million pOunds, and we
supplied to the markets Of the world
seyen>eighths' of all the cotton con.
sumed. Our merchant marine engag-
ed in foreign trade, amounted to two
million five hundred and forty six
thousand two hundred and thirty -sev-
en- tons, and promised soon to rival
the immense carrying trade of Eng
land"
That is. no fancy picture; it Is DO
partisan boast, but plain, unvarnish-
ed; statement of the condition of pros
perity which the country had reached
under the rule of a party which the
leaders of the thieving Radical party
assert are unworthy of being trusted
withithc control of of our national af-
fairs. ..t-;. '..-.-.: -

Maine.

The result of the election in Maine
is not yet definitely settled, but it is
certain that the Republicans have met
with a great defeat if not a complete
rout in the Pipe Tree State. For twen-
ty-six years they have carried the
State by from Is, 600 to 80 600 and now
the majority is substantially, if not
wholly, wiped out, and Davis election
is claimed by only a couple of hundred
plurality, while the Democratic Com
mittee assert that nothing but the
most bald-headed frauds can beat
Plaisted. To have reduced the Repub-
lican majority to ten thousand would
have been a grand victory, but to have
completely wiped out the 600 Radi-
cal majority of 1876, was too much to
anticipate. 1t shows the direction OF
the current, and the same proportion
ate gains throughout the country
would not leave the Republicans more
than a half dozen States upon which
they can count. Push on the good
work. u.s.- If., b,, o.. - r.

Jay GOuid's big scheme.

Jaj Gould is seeking by the consol-
idation of various railway interests to
control the whole vast railway system
west of the Missouri river, from the
Canadian border to the Mexican line,
and even beyond. 1t is an audacious |
ed by the commercial interests of every
section involved. No man or comb
nation of men should be entrusted
with such enormous power. 1t is
against the spirit of our institutions
and contrary to public policy that such
great interests as the transportation
system of half continent should be
under the thumb of any one company
or combination of capital. 1t would
be an oppression upon the people and
menace to the very Government.
But if we would discourage or prevent
it something must he done. Congress
/ has the power to establish such laws
as shall make such an enormous con
so!idation of capital undesirable, and,
therefore, impossible, and we hope it
will act promptly. The wedding of
the various links of the great chain is
already in progress. A Washington
dispatch to the Chicago Times says
that arrangements have been partly
made to consolidate with the Mis-. ouli,
Kansas and Texas, the Missouri Fa-
cifc, Texas Pacific ard the various
branches or feeders, which would car
rv the consolidated line to the Gulf of
Mexico and Rio Grande on the south,
and the Pacific ocean on the west, and
to continve the line to the City OF
Mexico The successful accomplish
ment of this scheme would include il
the combination the Wabash System
, connecting the Kansas and Texas lin,
', at Kansas City and st. Louis with th,
Lakes and with the northwestern

there are the efforts now being mad
to take in the Central and Southern
