period Mr.. E. b. French. now deceased.

him figured as chief clerks. The last of
these was G. f. Herring. a Massach usetts
man and q protege of Henry Wilson.
Herring died last winter. A month
before be died he was carried back and
forward, up and down stairs on the shout
ders of his clerks and messengers. Up to
the hour OF his death he was evidently
soiicitous as to the fixing up Of his papers.
4 month after his death an investig alton
showed that the safe had been plundered
Of its entire contents of accumu ated bonds,

were unknown. That they were sent here

PLUNpERED DEAD UNION SOLDIER

1GOHOEhE0 OEAD ONlON
There was CONSERVATION in the little
circle who were in the secret, and these
swore it should rest there. Il was not
until French died 10 his turn, aad a new
man succeeded that the private recor d
came to light. When it was compared
with the contents of the SAFE of course the
absence of the vaiuables became known to
other parties, An attempt was then made
to hush the matter up until after the cam
paign, for fear of its efrsot upon Indignant
friends of the dead. French knew of il,
and was most eager for its suppression, as
the irregularities of his bureau were al
ready as much as be could carry. II is
by no means certain that the late Mr..
Herring was the grsve'robber. though now
that be is dead it will probably rest there.
Others
HAD ACCESS TO THE sAEE,
among them a clerk named Goodall and
another named Wilson. The latter came
10 with Herring. and. although a mere
boy, was promoted in a short time TO the
highest grade clerkship in the Office. pre-
sumably es the custodian of this official
secret Secretary Sherman has been
quietly investigating the matter to ascer-
tain the exact responsibility for the revolt
ing robbery, but in so doing has continued
the injunction of official secrecy.
This chapter OF Republican infamy is
not mythical-is not mere hearsay, bat a
veritabie fact. which the officials at W lash
ington do not dare deny, but which was
concealed from the people in order that
the infamy of the Republican officials
might not be known. 1t has leaked out.
however with it the secret iDjunctions
of Sherman snd French, not to tell about
it for lear it would hurt the party -
Here you have the spectacle of Republi~
can officials robbing the dead Union sol.
diers, and the further circumstance of
Secretary Sherman and Auditor
french trying 20 cover up the iniquity, 30
that the Republican party would not be
disgraced in the eyes of the people. This
instance is but another chapter in the
dark record OF the Republican party.

RsPuB1IcAN HYPOCRISY.


It is hobby with the Republican leaders to
parade their love for the soldier. To believe
all they tell you. these patriotic stalwarts
never were anything but good to the sol
diers, It is their constant cry on the
stump; they delight to tell people that the
soldier is the especial object of their kindly
consideration, and yet scarcely day
passes but something occurs to prove the
insincerity of their promises. The latest
development of the treachery OF Republi-
can professions is the discovery of.the rob-
berry OF. the soldiers relic vault at Wash
ington. Here were deposited jewelry.
watches, pocket books containing money,
bonds, etc., the property of dead soldiers
men who had fallen on the field of battle
10 defense of their country and these
mementoes were all that remained to
identify the poor fellows.
The amonpt of these valuables was
thousands of dollars and it was hoped
these would at least be safe from robbery
by those who were appointed as custodians.
But the innate desire for .plunder was too
strong. even in this haliowed spot. and
now comes the startling announcement
that the Republicans who had charge of
these valuables es-these relics of the brave
fellows who fell while fighting for their
country, actually robbed the vault of its
contents and pocketed the plunder.
Shame on the perpetrators OF the dark
deed. But listen to the story 10 detail.

Sept. Is. Here it is:-
- WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Robbing the
dead upon the field of battle has always
been deemed the lowest depth of human
crime. 1t seems incredible that any
man could be found so lost TO honor and
humanity, and more incredible still that
such men should be selected for and
kept in public Office. The most revolt
ing among many revelations of fraud and
official thieviHg has just come to the sur
face in the treasury department. 1t has
been current for some time among a few
clerks that a damaging discovery had
been made, but most strenuous effort
have been made to preserve secrecy until
after the campaign. The facts have been
obtained by the Times correspondent. In
the office of the second auditor of the
treasury is
LARGE SAFE.
Ii stands in the chiet clerks room. In|
this safe, from time to time, during the
war, were placed valuables of dead union
soldiers taken from bodies of the slain on
the battle-ields of Gettysburg, Antietam
or Bull Run. by comrads. members Of
the Young Mems Christian association, and
of the sanitary commission. These
valuables consisted chiefly of gold and
silver watches, iewlery, and pocket-books
containing money bonds. etc., the estimat-
ed aggregate value of which was between,
$1,000 eand $4,000. There were other
packages swhose money value was little,
but which. to the relatives of the dead
would have been iDestimabIe. Some of
the pocket. books and papers bore the
marks of rebel lead. and not a few were
stained with tie blood of the now forgotten
owners. Some of these packages had
names, by which
