present that the Republican party is not an en-
envy to be despised, and that, in this Congress
sional district, it is necessary that Democrat
be nominated and elected. At this point sew

speaker was loudly applauded. Mr.. Andrews
made somewhat elaborate argument to show
that this district must be carried by Demo-
GRAFT, but the preceding speakers made no alln-
sion to Gen. Plaisted, and it was freely said
that in the event of the nomination of
straight Greenbacker in this district Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor will be at once
placed in nomination. Mr.. Andrews urged

The balance Of trading is gradually

The balance of trading is gradually
veering around against us. We see
BY the monthly statement of the Blu
reau of Statistics that during Febru-
airy the imports of merchandise
amounted to $55, 1900, 900, against
$35,400,0 900 for the same month of
1879-the increase being at the rate
of 81 per cent. The exports of pro-
duce and merchandise for the same
month aggregate SCI, 100000, com
pared with $64, 500, 900 in 1879. For
the first eight months of the fiscal
year the imports of merchandise
alone amount to 1897, 800, 900, a.
gainst $2S7, 500, 900. for the same
months of 1S7S-79, showing an in
crease of $1O9, SOC, 600. Adding the
imports of specie to those of goods,

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Thanks
to Senator Sherman's enemies in his
own party, the country was recently
informed of an offensive inconsis-
tency on his part, viz, the employ
ment of an ex.C Confederate command
er of a prison pen. Phis was an in
consistence because Sherman loses
no opportunity to abuse the South.
The Secretary denied that the ex-
Confederate in question: Major
Griswold-was employed by him,
stating that he was an employe ofthe
Department of Justice. 1t appears,
however, this was practically ar eva
sion, as while Griswold was paid on
an appropriation bill for the Depart
ment of Justice, his duties had no
more to do with the Department of
Justice than have Secretary Sher-
mans. The Major was the Law Clerk
to Kenneth Raynor, Solicitor of the
Treasury, had his desk in the Treas
ury Building, and was under the di-
rect orders of Secretary Sherman.
There has not been time since Mr..
Sherman assumed charge of the
Treasury Department that Griswold
could not have been removed blythe
barest hint on Sherman's part. We
now learn that Griswold has been
peremptorily dismissed. He was
charged in the report of a Radical
Congressional committee with cruel
treatment of Union prisoners under
his charge. We know nothing of
the merits of the charges; but it is
certainly a brazen effrontery on the
part of Radical leaders to carefully
nurture the anti Southern feeling
and at the same time pet and reward
every Southerner who will aposta-
tie. From the first John Sherman
has been the head and front of bloody
shirt politics. He is the author of
the Eliza Pinkston and other politi-
cal frauds. He is the author of the
Southern outrage lies which have
inflicted untold injury upon the
South by dis~couraging immigration
and capital. The effect of this we
illustrated on Monday by a letter
from John Bright adverse to any
emigration to Georgia and other
parts of the South, on account OF
the assumed prevalence of anarchy
This is the man who is ready to eat
all his words and take to his bosom
q person convicted Of torturine
Union prisoners because he car
"use" him!

DEATH OF cHAuNcEY NEWTON

We were panied to learn, by an
nouncement in the Enquirer of Wed
nesday last, of the death on Tues
day of last week of Mr.. CHAUN-
cEY NEWTON, of the Enquirer editor
ial staff. During the ten years he
was connected with the Enquirer as
reporter, correspondent and editor,
we have known him personally and
well. To the readers of the Enquir-
er, Mr.. Newton was widely known
as "Caliban," whose letters for years,
over that nom de plume, were valua-
BILE sources of information upon cur
rent political topics. He was ex-
ceedingly popular, and highly es-
teemed by the large number of gen
tlemen whom he met in the various
avenues through which his calling
drew him. His record is untarnish-
ed with vices and he died without
enemies. Mr.. Newton possessed great
native ability as a writer, which was
much enhanced by an education far
more liberal than the average news
paper man. He was a practical jour-
%nalist, and in his writings laid broad
foundations of fact for the opinion
of others-they were always newsy.
often numerous, and never dull. The
public owes much 10 his memory fol
the good he accomplished as a jour
nalist. His death will be sincerelJ
mourned and his memory warmly
cherished by his wide circle o
friends.

The only really commendable ad-
ministration which the Republican
party has given Us is the only INT
which they are unwilling to perpetu-
ate. 1t seems to be too pure to suit
their convenience. There is one
thing, at least, which will always
make the administration Of MI.
Hayes respectable, and that is there
has been no public stealing done;
and this is nor than can be said
for his predecessors. Lincoln and
Grant-honest themselves were
very unfortunate in being surround.
ed by knaves and downright thieves
AS for Andrew johnson, his inten
tions were pure but his hands were
tied by a Republican Congress, ant
he was prevented from removing from
official position men whom he knew
ought to he in the penitentiary.
