Tho Angry Flood.

San Francisco is excited over u rem
contre between Mr.. Robert E. Culbrish
and Mr.. ]. c. Flood, jr., a son of the mil
lionaire Of the ComstOck lode. 1t is ul,-
derstoOd that Mr.. Flood charged Mr.. Cul-
brish with the authorship of the follow
ing :
"a pretty we'll authenticated rumor is
going the rounds in railroad and bullion
society in San Francisco ut the present
time, to the effect that young Ulysses S.
(Buck) Grant has received from Miss
Jennie Flood the largest kind of n
NIittcn, with big, big NJ, all on account
of his lack Of loyalty to that young lady.
The story goes that Buck came here a few
weeks ago Ostensibly to visit his tiancec,
but as she was off in the Sierras when
Buck arrived, this very promising scion Of
the house of Grant laid himself out for 4
good time, to accomplish which he brought
into reIuisitiOn all the advantages which
his supposed engagement would naturally
give him. Those who whisper that George
II. Wells, Floods private secretary, was
the MephistOpheles of the occasion, doubt
less do him great injustice. Nor do
believe that the plot had it's inception
in the brain of J. c. Flood, Jennic's as
tutc father, who, finding that General
Grant had not received the nomination for
a third term in the presidential office, con-
cluded that the Grants were not such
great shakes after all, and so concluded
to get rid of Buck. Irepcat, do not at
tach any importance to these rumOrs.
That George Il. Wells led Buck astray at
the instance of the elder Flood, cannot
believe. 1t may be that the plot had its
inception in another quarter. Flood has a
very wicked partncr-james G. Fair-who
is known by various other appcllatiOns.
For instance, some people call him Truth
full James, Others moro worldly minded
call him Slippery Jim.' 1 can't believe it
possible that his services were called into
requisitiOn, and that he put up this unholy
job on young Ulysses. Whoever did it
ought to receive the execration of all true
patriots. In the mean time Buck will fin
ish the writing of 4 charming society novel
entitled. Hope Deferred or, the Busted
Alliance
Hreports printed in Eastern newspapers
arc true, Miss Flood is to be congratulated
ON the rupture of the engagement. II
young Grant appeared in public with a
girl whose social standing rendered it i'm
proper, she had no other alternative. Miss
Floods dowry is estimated at So, SOC, 600.

Garfield and tho Great Fraud.

And what arc the facts? When it be-
came known in 1876 that the peopls in
Louisiana has chosen the Tilden electors
by eight thousand majority, Garfield was
selected, with others, to go to New Orleans
and induce the returning board to throw
out the Tilden majority, and falsely certify
tho election of the Hayes ticket. The
work was divided among them. West
Feliciana was assigned to Garfield. 1t
was the most difficult job Of all.
For eighteen days he sat in an elmer
room" of the CustOm-hOusc manipulating
evidence, tampering with negro witnesses,
and writing out interrOgatories to be pro-
pounded to them by Madison Wells of the
returning board. The other visiting states
men were engaged at the same business,
and when the mass of perjurics and for
geries was completed they left Louisiana,
assured that the board would complete the
crime, and certify the election of the dc
feated candidates. At Bellaire, Ohio, OH
their way to Washington, they received a
dispatch that the work was done. and that
so far as that state was concerned the con-
spiracy against the presidency was sue
cessful.
When the electoral bill was under dis
cussiOn in the House Garfield freely de-
clared his opinion that under its provisions
the judges would be compelled by Their
Oaths to go behind the certificates of tho
returning boards to ascertain and declare
the truth. Yet when. as member of the
commission, he had taken 4 special and
solemn oath to render ''true Judgment -
he voted every time with the infamous
eight, not to examine, not to look at the
evidence Of fraud, not to 90 behind the
false certificates, not to disturb the
work of his own hands during those
eighteen days of secret labor with the wit
nesses in Packard's inner room of the New
Orleans custom house. Here was the
manufacturer Of the evidence sitting as Il
judge in the very case which he had him
self made up, and repudiating his own i'll
depreciation of the law to save the fraud
which he had himself fabricated. This is
the true account of Garfield as visiting
statesman and member of the commission,
which Mr.. Hendricks draws from the rec
ord, and substantiatcs by Garfield's owl
testimony.
He might have added that, when the
decisions of the commission were imperilled
by the refusal of the Southern Representa-
tivcs to 90 on with the fraudulent count,
this honorable judge crawled down from
the bench into midnight conference, as the
special agent of one Of the parties before
his court, and there made 4 corrupt COM
pact by which Packard, the man who lent
him the elmer rOOm," and the whole
Republican party of Louisiana were basely
betrayed and surrendered to their enemies
Such was his judicial honor and such his
personal gratitude,

The BAD People in Maine.

Mr.. Blaine'S complaint about the
Democratic use of money in Maine
seems to excite general amusement and
Mr.. Blaine himself has concluded to
discredit it by discovering that the Demo-
cratic victory was not bought after all,
and in fact does not exist. The Repub-
lican defeat, for which he was in haste
to find a cause, not existing, the cause
too must he nOn-existent. Mr.. Blaine'S
followers, rs he now looks ut it, have not
been SO corrupt rs he thought
them. The Democrats may have been
wicked enough to try to buy them, but
they were not vile enough to yield. Mr..
Blaine owes them an apology. Instead
of proffering it he puts upon his French
fellOw-citizens in one of the outlying
districts a charge of habitual fraud ut
elections; and the Republican expect;l-
tion of the election of Davis seems to
be based entirely upon the hope of /" an
honest vote and honest return in the
French plantations Of AroOstOok cOun-
ty."
1t is singular that Chairman Barnum
seems to have no better opinion of the
honesty of Mr.. Blaine and the Maine
Republicans than Mr.. Blaine has of
the Maine Democrats.
If both sides are believed, I'VE may
safely conclude that there is not much
honesty in Maine. Probably the adher-
ents of each party will be persuaded to
follow the idea of their leaders and to be-
lieve that the opposite party is guilty of
of all the wickedness that is practised up
in Maine. Mr.. Blaine probably will per-
suade his fellow Republicans to believe
in the Democratic corruption which he
charged when he thought he was beaten
and which he still thinks may ruin him
i'm Aroostook. Mr.. Blaine unfortunate.
ly has a reputation which does not en-
able him to throw stones at his sneighbors.
The Democrats of Maine may he bad,
but Mr.. Blaine is not the man to he be-
lieved in accusing them ofevil. Mr.. Bar
mum had this advantage in his charge of
fraud upon the Maine Republicans, that
it is something which the world will be
easily persuaded to.believe of Mr.. Blaine,
who is known to be in no way scrupul-
Gus about the means to his ends.

Tic Harrisburg Independent says: "The
Ircisitles baseball club of Lancaster have
written letter to the secretary Of the
Pacific club, in which they state they will
play at no place but Columbia on Satur-
day next. The Pacifics have not yet de-
cidcd whether they will play there, as they
deom it a very unreasonable request.
While they, the Pacifics, arc obliged to
pay car fare for twenty five miles, the Lam
caster club has only about ten. They de-
sire square thing all round, and that the
Ironsidcs don't seem disposed to grant
them.''

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. II, 1880.
A Valuable Place.

=" n vSl08UlC 18CCs
Somebody has discovered that Garfield
is not eligible to the presidency because
Of the law which make congressman who
have taken illegal fees incapable of there
after holding Office under the United
States. No doubt there is such a law
and it is a good one. There is as little
doubt that Garfield comes under its pro-
visions but if nevertheless he is elected
to the presidency by the people, they may
be considered to have practically abro-
gated the law, and it should be promptly
repealed by the Democratic Congress. If
the people select for their president a man
who has been guilty Of the many sins of
omission and commission, charged and
proved against Garfield, they should not
be baked by the law Of their choice.
This is a democratic country in which
the people govern. If they elect male
factor of any degree to the presidency,
with full knowledge of his misdeeds,
they are entitled to have their will ex-
ecuted and their man inaugurated.
We may set aside Garfield's conduct in
the Credit MObilier matter, in which he
has one Democratic friend in Judge
Black to avOw his innocence but we
cannot forget that he took fee of five
thousand dollars to secure the adoption
of patent pavement in Washington
while he was chairman of the committee
that was to appropriate the money to
pay for it. This fact is undenied and
unexplained. No defense is offered for
it. 1t is simply passed by in silence by
the political friends of the Republican
candidate. 1t was an improper thing to
do and an unlawful thing. No one can
contend otherwise. If Garfield is elected
it will be with the full knowledge of
those who vote for him that he did as
congressman what the law forbid him to
do and what it Furnishes him for by
making him ineligible to office. They
know that they are voting for a man
who is barred, by his admitted act, from
the high Office they seek to elevate him
to. If a majority of the people do this
they will condemn the moral and statute
law which declares that their rep
resentatives shall not be pecuniarily in
terested in the matters upon which they
legislate. They will set it aside, as whole
some as it seems to be. Hereafter it
will be permitted to all the peoples re-
presentativcs to mingle their own inter
ests with their constituents ,and to make
their votes equally available for both.
With this understanding the position of
congressman, if Garfield is elected, will
become very valuable.
