A TRUE LoYALIsT,--J II, Yoor-
his is Radical Congressman, and the
President of the First National Bank
of Hackensack, New Jersey, About
eighteen months ago the stockholders
discovered that the Presidents account
was considerably short but he had
just been elected to Congress, and il
was not considered nice to expose the
good man at that time. The Congress
man, however, deemed it expedient to
remain outside of the State of New
Jersey ever since, until one dag last
week. The stockholders had him ar.
rested for embezzlng the funds of the
Bank, and he now puts in a plea Of
being Congressman and not liable to
arrest while serving as such We
wonder If the people of HackensaclS
will re.elect Voorhis next Fall. 1t is
pretty clear that he used the funds OF
the Bank to secure his election. What

Upon the testimony Of 0akes Ames, who had

stand that he was a liar the Democratic scandal
mongers are trying to convict General Garfield {
connection with the Credit Mobilier.-Radical
Exchanges
Such is some of the stuff that the
Radical organs are working off just
now in order to rescue their nomina-
ton from far worse grievance than
ever bothered Oakes Ames. The man
who wants to know the facts as be,
tween Ames and Garfield need but
read a book, containing 523 pages,
entitled a "Report of the Select Com.
mittee to Investigate the Credit Mobi.
lier bribery, made to Congress on the
18th of February, 1873, and published
by resolution of that body, contain
ing a two.thirds Radical majority. The
report is signed by seven radicals and
two Democrats. Read this report and
you will find who is THE LIAR and
who has the grievance We have
the book in our office, and nobody but
knavc or a fool, after reading it, will
doubt its contents.
The Committee, although nearly all
Radicals, convict every Congressman
engaged in this crime, and Mr.. Gar,
field turns out to be one of the cheap
est of the bribod members. All we
ask of any man, is to read the report
indicated, and then let him say who
perjured himself--COngressman Gar
field or Congressman Amos. The lat
ter, being of a more humane and
refined nature, was killed by this
criminal exposition but the former
has survived all the disgrace, and now
wants to be President.
From careful reading OF the book,
we have como to the conclusion that
both Ames and Garfield were bribed
and committed perjury, and their
bodies should be buried-from the view
of Sunday School children at least.
Adults might shun such crime, but
children should not be schooled in such
high-tonod immortality.

speech, into which he injected far
more war and fight than he practiccd
the short timo he was in the army.
He gave the "rebels" Hail { olumbia-

Why THE DISTINCTION 2-No two
Congressman were more level.headed
on the Credit Mobilier fraud than Col.
fax and Garfield. This scandal retired
Schuyler to private life; but Garfield
seems to have bridged it over Residing
in Congressional district with twelve
thousand Republican majority, saved
him in the contest from exposing his of.
fetal corruption, by a majority Of a little
over two thousand His election saved
him from Obscurity, and condoned his
offence. Coliax was no worse than
Garfield. The former has reason to
declare that Republics are ungrateiul.

the people have reason to ask

DEATH or GEN SUFFER-, THE DGsCov
ERER OF GOLD IN CALIFoRNIA.-Gen
John A. Sutter, the discovercr of gold
in California and one of the earliest
pioneers on that coast, died at Made's
hotel, in Washington City, on Friday
last, June 18th. He had been sick for
several weeks with Inflammation of the
kidneys, and died quietly in fall pos.

his death was at once telegraphed to

and when not twenty years of age en-

he entered the Swiss army, where he

are both Generals but they never
hurt anybody. They were too cute
during the war to get in the way Of

case of Hensel aud Steinman, the Ian
caster attorneys who were disbarrcd
by Judge Patterson on account OF a
publication in the Lancaster htelli-
geHcer, of which they are editors, was
argued before the Supreme Court on
Saturday. The simple issue involved
is whether an attorney, as an officer of
the Court may be held responsible for
what he writes as the editor of q news.
paper. The litigation has an absurd
side to it, in that it springs from little
burst Of i'll temper on the Bench, but it
raises point that has not been decided.
The Court reserved its decision. If
the Supreme Court sustains Judge Pat
torson's despotic act, it is time that
lawyeredltors should picket their lines.
The principles involved in the case are
too anti-American for any Court TO
handle, and we still think the Supreme
tribunal will not allow Judges such
immense power

The VERDANT GARFIELD,-A letter

the Republican journals as a complete
vindication." The comments of tho

are truly sublime The editors afore

ers that Garfield was q lump of "inno-
oenoe abroad"--a kind of twove-year,
old Sunday school pupil, while Oallos
Ames was fooling with and imposing
Credit Mcbilier stock upon him, This
section OF Gardeld's crimes might pass
currently among children and fools,
but when we reflect over the DeGolyer,
Salary Grab, etc, cases, the innocence
becomes too broad to pass current and
the sensible voter must come to the
conclusion that Garfield is too innocent
to be President.

A HALFPRicE MAN -. Afflicted
brethren, here's one way of looking at
this Garfield business. Colfax took
twenty shares of Credit Mobilier stock
and Garfield took ten, consequently
he's only half as bad as Coliax. There
isn't much consolation IN that, but il
is the best we can do for you.
