LONDON, April "A public meeting, con-
vened by the Freihett Defense Committee,
was held at tue Socialst Club Hall last night
to protest against the seizure OF the office Of
the Frcil.eit and the arrest Of Herr Most its

English edition Of the Frethcit was dis
tributed in the hall, containing an appeal to
the Socialists Of all nationalities. A resolu-
ton was passed declaring the arrest Of Most

The effrontery Of the family organ was
seen the other day, in giving an extract
from "a recent speech" of Senator Wade
Hampton, in which it is claimed he said;
ave know there must have been irreg
ularities and frauds. l admit it, but |
plead as the only justification the cruel
wrongs that have been inflicted upon
our people. 1t was a case where the
very civilization, the life, the property,
the state itself, were all involved"
What "cruel wrongs" does Hampton
refer to "as the only justifCation?'
These the Repository takes care not to re.
fer to. The whole truth should be told,
for wrong begets wrong, as Russian des.
potism and uelty generates Nihilismj
as misgovernment and oppression in
France resulted in the revolution Of 1879
-l793.
These "Cruel wrongs" in South Caro-.
lima we're those inflicted under carpet
bag Republican rule. 1t was robber rule,
and the white land owners and other
good citizens found at last that "life and
property were all involved" For years
the robbers ruled and plundered, and
were protected therein by the Republi-
can party and their President. These
villains rioted, and became rich by pill.
ing up state debt millions high. Never
in the history Of this world, as far as we
know, we're apoor and conquered peo-
ph 80 plundered and plunged into an
enormous bonded deot. These wele the
"Cruel wrongs" and these wrongs" were
only laughed at by the hyena organs
like the Repository The Re OsitOry and
that ilk never had word to say against
the carpet. bag villains. Itlather appro-
we'd and defended the scobndrels, and

Garfield kills very easily. There is little

A SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC PLUM
DERERs

secor Robeson was Secretary Of the
Navy for eight ysssS daring the sraNot
Grantism. In that time he expended
over one hundred and seventy seven
millions of dollars, and when he went
ont of cfioe he left to the country a lega
cv of rotten hulks and deficiency OF
several millions as testimonials OF his
corrupt administration.
He held over for eight or ten days un'
der Hayes, until the arrival of his sue
oessor at Washington; and in that short
time he made contracts for several mil
lions with favorite jobbers against all the
rules Of decency, but in conformity with
the shameless venality which was the
feature of his whole administration.
Investigations by the Hou Of Repre-
sentatives proved conclusively that a
Ring of thieves ran the Navy Depart.
ment by barefaced collusion with it's
head; that contracts were regularly toll
ed by broker intimstes of the Secretary;
and that paymasters and others were the
intermediates through whom systematic
plunder was carried OIL.
The Virginius affair was made the pre-
tenCe for jobbery to the extent of four
millions of additional appropriations in
1874, and the sham naval parade at Key
West was ordered in the face of positive
knowledge that the question had been
settled satisfactorily at Madrid. 1t was
necessary to cover up the plundering
scheme with naval demonstration in
our waters th9t might impress the Pub.

The Republican party, in and out o.
Congress, sustained Robeson from first
to last, and in spite Of the most conclu-
sive proofs Of his guilty participation in
these enormous frauds. He went into
Office poor and came out rich. He con

ers, or to punish brave and forgiving
people. Everybody feels that there has
