The EXOd % .,

The following special telegram to
the Chicago Times gives away the
motives OF the Exodus scheme pretty
thoroughly. The following letter was
captured from one of the exodus
agents correspondents with Congress
man Brown, Of Indiana, and reads as
follows: .L- Fii,

Mr.. John w. Slower, well-known
Republican of Wyoming, an ox-Ofiicer
Of the Republican Club, and once a
member of the old Second Army Corps.
returned yesterday from an exte nsive
trip through the northern part of the
State, and returned, too, red-hot for
Hancock, his old commander. He de-
cIared his intention To support the gall

yesterday prepared to name hundred

The Cincinnati Commercial, a lead
ing Republican organ, editorially in
its issue of June 24th, paid the follow
ing tribute to General w. S. Hancock,
the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent:
No one i'm any event, we hope, will
undertake to deny that Hancock was
one of the most brilliant soldiers in
the war. Few who have seen him will
dispute the proposition that he is the
handsomest man in America. His
bearing in the army was, as a phrase
quoted by Mr.. DOugherty describes,
Superb. No Field Marshal whose pic
ture stands forth i'm the big wars that
flame in the pages of history, ever rode
down the lines where the death mes
sengers were whistling, more glorious
than Hancock at Gettysburg. AS

and striking that could be selected

No, a miIitary Nom mination.

Our esteemed Republican cotempo-
raries are severely criticising the nom-
ination, by the Democrats, of military
candidate for President. ,.5-~..-.l.
But why have not the Democrats as
good a right as the Republicans, to
nominate military man? .o;-.7
Gen., Hancock fought and spilled
his blood on the side of the govern
ment, and not for the rebellion.
And it should be borne in mind that
so far from being nominated AS a mill
tary candidate, General Hancock is
brought forward as the true champion
of personal rights, and the ascendency
of the civil power over the military in

Garfield,s Paving. Job.

One OF the most wicked jobs and
swindles with which Garfield has been
connected during his Congressional
career was what is known as the De.
Golyer patent pavement, which inter.
ested parties got adopted for the streets
of Washington at an expense of hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
Government. Large royalty was to be
paid DeGolyer for the use of his patent
and the profits resulting would be
enormous-reaching to hundreds oi
thousands of dollars. To secure the
adoption of this swindlling pavement
DeGolyer and his associates expended
S97, 900, as was shown by the sworn ev.
idence before an Investigating Com.
mittee of Congress OF this sum r.
G.. Parsons and James A. Garfield re-
ceived for their services and influence
before the Board of Public Works OF
the District the sum of 1000 for Sc
curing the adoption of this swindIing
pavement, Garfield's share of the plum
der being the snug little sum Of So 900.
The ini4uity of this little job is appar-
ent when it is considered that the
largest part of the money to be expend-
ed for this pavement, was to be paid
by the United States Government, and
this, too, ON the approval and recon-.
mendation of General Garfield and his
appropriation Committee, and was SO
paid, and that, without that approval,
the adoption by the Board was of little
or no use, il may well be questioned
whether the Chairman of that Com
mittee was in position to impartially
pass upon the question of this appro-
priation. He did recommend the ap-
prOpriatiOn, and half million of dol.
lars was drawn from the United States
Treasury for this swindling job.
The investigation demonstrated that
the DE GOIyer Ring was one of the
most corrupt and powerful with which
the Federal Capital was cursed, and
their pavement a most miserable
swindle. ---.' 7A' q.
AS to Garfield's connection With the
job there was and is no manner OF
doubt. Neither he nor his friends
pretended to deny It. But they at
tempt to Justify him on the ground
that the amount he received was fol
legal services rendered by him as an
attorney for the swindling concern.
That is rather thin. He was only q
brietiess lawyer without either expert
ence or eminence in the profession,
while there were an abundance of law
yers of ability in Washington and its
vicinity who would have gladly per-
formed all the legal labor that Garfield
did for less than 0ne-tenth the amount
he received, but they Were not mem.
bers of Congress nor Chairman Of the
Appropriation Committee; and the in
vestigatiOn of the committee clearly
demonstrated that IT was for INFLU-
ENCE, and not for experience and legal
ability and service that Chittenden,
the agent of DeGOlyer & Co., paid out
$97 600 in order to obtain the 500, 900
contract, and they found ready tool
i'm the sanity Garfield to aid them in
their swindling operation. and it was
only as Chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee that he was employed
by the jobbers.

IT is asserted that Cornell, the Rad
ical Governor of New York, will call
together the Legislature of that State
in special session i'm order to secure a
change in the manner of choosing
Electors of President and Vice Presi-
dent. Such a move would be proof
conclusive that the Republicans intend
again to defrand the people of the
power of electing the Executive of this
Government by the ordinary methods.
1t would be an outrage which would
arouse the people everywhere to a
sense of the danger which threatens
them from the rule of the Radical
party, and it is doubtful if the perpe-
traitors would derive any advantage
from it. ~

One. hundred and ,eighty-five votes
are necessary to a choice. So it will
be seen that the Democrats are pretty
sure of enough votes to elect, with six
teen to spare. In addition to these,
the States of California, Oregon, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, with q total electo-
raj vote of fifty-nine, may be regarded
as doubtful, with the chances largely
in favor of the Democratic candidates.
1t will thus be seen that the Democrats
have reason to feel encouraged and
confident that this time victory will
crown their efforts. 6

GENERAL GARFIELD, on the 18th of
January, 1872, when before the Poland
Investigating Committee, under oath
solemnly declared that he "never
owned, received, or agreed to receive,
any stock of the Credit Mobilier, or of
the Union Pacific Railroad, nor any
diyidends or profits arising from either
of them," The committee, upon the
proof after a full and thorough inves-
tigation, found that General Garfield
had sworn falsely, and they reported
as follows:
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield,
as found by the committee, are that
he agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten
shares of Credit Mobilier stock, but
did not pay for the same. Mr.. Ames
received the eighty per cent. dividend
in bonds, and sold them for ninety
seven per cent. and also received the
sixty per cent. cash dividend, which,
together with the stock and interest,
left balance of 1929. This sum was
paid over TO Mr.. Garfield by q check
on the Sergeant -at-arms, and Mr..
Garfield than understood this sum toas
the balance of diri denns after paying
for the stock. s3

swearing a fit man to be elected Pres.

The Outlook.

a Washington correspondent gives
the following as the figuring on the
presidential race in that region:
1t is conceded already by the best
posted politicians here that the Repub-
1ican party is certain to encounter de-
feat at the coming election. To those
who take an impartial view of the
subject it is as certain as anything can
well be that General Hancock will
have majority of the electoral votes.
This opinion is based upon the follow
ing calculation: The States upon
which the Republicans can reasonably
count, and which would give u major
ity for their candidate, no matter who
he might be, may be thus set down

ported to have said in q recent con-
versation, that the prospects of the
Republicans in Massachusetts is not
as good as he wonld like to see it, and
that there is positive danger that the
Democrats will carry the State. The
union of the Butler and anti-Butler
wings of the Democratic party gives
them a majority in the state if they
can hold together, and in addition to
this he was informed that the apathy
among the Republicans is very great
and that majority of the Grant men
had openly pronounced for Hancock.

SPANISH AUTHORESSES.

Many Jews and Jewesses, at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century, fol-
lowed the example Of the brave Major
Rodriguez, and although with great sac
rifces and exposed to greater danger,
fed from Spain and emigrated to the
free Netherlands; most of these belong
ed to the cultivated and intellectual
classes Among them were to be found
physicians, ecclesiastics in monk s attire,
philosophers and linguists, authors and
authoresses. When already in the new
home, their thoughts still fingered in
the fatherland: they wrote and composed
in the Spanish language. The poetic
ally gifted Jewish men and women of
Amsterdam, the Eldorado of Spanish
Portuguese fugitives, assembled and
established academies modelled after the
academies and4iterary societies in the
old home, in which they read to each
other their poetical endeavors Thus
the "Academy de los Sitbundos' was
created in Amsterdam, under the pres
ldency OF Manuel de Belmonte, one OF
