Gen. Grant Returning.

A New Orleans dispatch of the
Sd saws: Gen. Grant is greatly
irritated over the Conkling affair
and eagerly reads all dispatches.
He says that Conkling has been
shamefully treated and should be
reelected to the senate. He thinks
that newspaper abuse of Conkling
IS instigated by White house
influences, but not by Gar
field. He reallirns his letter to
Senator Jones of Nevada, hut will
take no hand in the fight. He
pronounced Governor Ioungs
statement of his connection with
the United States national bank
and the marine bank as false, and
saws that there is no truth i'm the
story about lost jewelry. His
mission to Mexico was also highly
successful. He got the conces-
sions wanted, the only opposition
being from rival subsidized rail-
roads. General Grant will go to
! St. Louis. Galena and Chicago
after leaving here.

The Inter Ocean is advising England to
adopt protection tariff, in order to ensure
her against the competition of American
manufactures in her own market, and in
the same breath declares that America
should be protected by high tariff against
English manufacturers. There is strange
kind of inconsistency here. If England
needs prohibitory tariff to protect herself
against us, why in the name of common
sense do we need one to protect ourselves
against England. If we need one to keep
England off, what rhyme or version is
there in England's trying to protect her
home markets when she can undersell us
in our own. One nation or the other
would be making bowed idiot of itself.

A glance at last nights dispatches was

A glance at last nights dispatches was
an occasion for chagrin and disgust on the
part of most honest men. Was the paper
full of news of great achievements? No.
There was but one story corruption of
one sort or another; bribery here and
stealing there political crimes of every
description. There was the news from Al
bany. An investigating committee trying
to discover whether one member of the as
sembly had offered brides or another one
has perjured himself. There is news from
Washington of how the secretary of the
treasury has been forced to kick out one
of the servants of the government from
his position because he stole, and even the
former secretary is somewhat implicated,
not criminally, perhaps, but in a way which
ing over all that and back of it is the star
route fraud, in which an ex-senator, and a
leader of his party, is implicated so deeply
that indictments are openly talked
of and the penitentiary is threatened. If
these men instead of answering to these
charges could boast of some they had done.
If they could lay before the people the
record of honorable deeds, helpful to the
Union. If they could say, from the day
when first we became they peoples servants,
we strove for our employers good; we
consulted their interests; the advancement
of the prosperity of the nation was our
chief desire: that his work should be done
properly was all we cared for, all this we
could the party boast of its members, and
the native look will favor on the party that
had done it that good.
But look at the facts. The men APP
pointed to Office have conducted those
Offices only to render themselves rich. The
men into whose care our Interests have
been instructed have only consulted their
own interests. The men who should have
been the servants of the people, have tried
to be their masters. Theft has taken the
place. of honesty. Money is the only
reason offered men for their vote. The
party leaders only serve the party.
And the party is to blame. We accuse
the republican party of yielding everything
to desire for power. We accuse it of
ignoring the men in their ranks who are
honest and putting forward the men who
are dishonest. We accuse it of putting the
party interests above the nations interests
and sacrificing everything for self. We
accuse it of suffering every form of steal
ing to go UNPUBLISHED for fear that punish
ment would hurt the party. We accuse it
of permitting whiskey frauds and star
route frauds because the thieves contrib
uted to the party exchange, the price at
which the party won its election was the
badge of shame to the party. 1t has past
its time of usefulness.
