We have received a copy of the Voice, the greatest Prohibition paper in the country, published at New York, which gives an account of the treachery and crime of Republican leaders, in bribing that paper s clerks and getting possession of its mailing lists, and by this means false literature was sent Prohibitonists, demanding that they vote for Harri- son and Morton. Quay, Dudley and other very prominent Republicans, are implicated. Ii was most in- famous transaction, but just the sort of dirty corruption to which the Re publicanS have ever been used. It is to be hoped the Voice will succeed in landing in the penitentiary, not only the bribcd employees. but also Quay, Dudley and the other abettors.

The Indianapolis Journal, in re- ferring to the failure of the grand jury to indict Blocks of five Dud- ley" says; No Republican can be induced to vote for the indictment of another Republican for q political offence " The editor of the Journal is refreshingly candid, but he Is also correct in his conclusions. Instead of punishing, the Republican party generally rewards it's political rogues. Take for an example the theft of the Presidency in 1876, and the fat jobs bestowed on the returning board scoundrels of the States of Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida. .-EX- change,
