have always been a republican, and
am now, to the extent Of indorsing, ss
an entirety, the principles Of the party,
but haYs come to believe that the party
is not progressive enough for the times
neither is the democratic party.
Lack Of sufficient progression in these
parties has created thousands upon
thousands Of restless, disContented
voters and the number is constantly and
rapidly being augmented. This state Of
unrest arises from a desp.sssted and
well.founded conviction that there is
something" about our government
either in it's administration or fundR-
mental principles radically wrong.
What is that something? Is it to be
found in any one or more OF what we
are pleased to term the great political
issues Of the dsyP Had our revenue,
currency and other laws, which are
brought forth periodically, first one an d
then another, as 'issuss," been at all
as nearly perfect as it were possible for
human ingenuity to devise, this feeling
Of discontentment would not have been
stayed beyond the present time, because
the true cause of this feeling does not
lie directly or indirectly in any one or
more Of these issues which are raised for
the purpose OF fomenting party strife
and creating sectional Hatred to such q
degree and to the end that the minds Of
the masses may be kept from questions
the solving of which would drive sbject
poverty from the land and at the same
time disposssss the classes Of their un-
just powers and ill-gotten gains.

Is it not about time the masses real

selves, and to discover that the great

paper titles and recognizing only those
of occupancy and actual use, real pow
erty would be a thing Of the past. Are
paper titles OF divine originH Did the
Creator place mankind upon the earth,
some with paper titles and others with

greed and brute force and continue to be
born of the same parents, even unto this
day.
Every man has a natural and inalien-
able right to portion of mother earth
on which to dwell and make living.
Laws interfering with this right should
be set aside, and by force il necessary.
The contrary cannot be maintained il

the British to Bubiugste the American
people become more apparent, we can
more fully appreciate the Importance OF
IIinOOln's oftrepsRted warnings OF the
dangers to liberty against which the
people should be on their guard. In
proof OF the claim that the war was the
result OF q vast conspiracy Of the money
class, as shown by the Hazard circular,
let LinColn's own testimony DO heard.
In Grants Memoirs, volume 2, page SlS,
will be found private cypher telegram
from the president to General Grant as
follows:
CYPHRR, 6 P. M.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 8, 1854.
Lieutenant General GrGDt, CITY Point, Va:
have seen your dispatch in which you
say, 81 want Sheridan put in command of
all the troops in the field, with instru ctiOns
to put himself south of the enemy and fol-
low him to the death. Wherever the enemy
goes, let our troops go Also"
This, think, is exactly right, as TO how
our forces should move. But please look
over the dispatches you may have received
here, even since you made that order, and
answer, if you can, that there is any idea in
che head of anyone here "Of putting our
army south OF the enemy" or 'of following
him to the death" in any direction. l re-
peat 10 you ib will neither be done nor at
tempted, unless you watch ii every day and
hour, and force il. A. LINCOLN.
Page 3l9, Grant says that General
Hunter was 30 confused aud embsrrRsseJ
by orders from Washington "movln 2
him first to the right and then to the
left, that he had lost all trace Of the
enemy" Page 927, Grant says: ~
knew 1t was impossible for me to get
orders through Washington to Sheridan
to make move, because they would be
stopped there, and such orders as Hal
locks caution land that OF the secretary
Of war; would suggest would be given
instead, and would, no doubt be con-
trsdiotory to mine."
This adds additional weight to Lin
coins declaration above quoted, shat
there was no intention Or inclination to
follow the enemy to the DEATH" The
conspirat0rs seem to have been in con-
troll, and would not allow the war closed
until an enormous debt had been piled
up, upon which they could live in luxury
and ease, and how we'll they succeeded,
our suffering country too well sttests.
In his message of 1864, the president
denounces the treschery of the conspir-
ators ard gamblers in gold as worse en-
emiee than the rebels in the field, and
warns the people to check the powerful
corporations before they aggregated sll
the wealth IN few hands md the re-
public be lost" AS further evidence
Of the existence Of the grand conspiracy
we can mention the peculiar manner in
which the army was managed. The
first Bull Run disaster can be clearly
traced to division Of the Union forces
and apparent treschery Of some Of the
commanders. So at Gettysburg where
Lse was defeated, he was allowed TO es-
cape across the Potomac at his leisure
two weeks after the battle, without any
serious effort to capture his defeated
army, or even to inAict any damage upon
it.

events, Lincoln was Q victim OF the

The STORY OF The wreck.
Admiral Stanton's Graphic Account of
the Disaster to the lll-Fated
Warship the Kearsarge

QUARANTINE, N. Y, Feb. 81 Rear
Admiral Stanton and nineteen officers
and 1888 men of the i'll fated Kearsage,
arrived at Quarantine this morning
shortly after 10 o'clock, on the Colon
steamer City of Para, after seven
days passage from Co lon. Admiral
Stanton readily talked of the dissster
although carefully avoiding any state
ments that might incriminate snybody
or give reason for the accident.
These, said he, were matters for
the attention of the investigat.
ing board, After the fri igats
struck it was found that there was
very litsi0 water under her for ward,
and fearing she might slip off into
deeper water and sink, little raft, or
catamaran was launched rs soon as it
was light enough to see, aud ksdge
anchor carried ashore and haweSr
made fast to hold the ship upon the
reef. This hawser was rove through a
pulley and systematic effort was at
once made to land all hands in boat
with line fast to block which trav-
eled on the hawser.
A strong northeast trade wind was
blowing steadily at the time The
boat could carry six men at time and
consequently it took considerable time
to land all hands. Provisions, water
carts and canvas to build temporary
shelter we're brought on shore and pre-
pRrations were at once made to erect
sleeping quarters. Under the direction
of the officers man were told off to DIFF
terent kinds OF work. Seamen and
marines contrived impromptu tents
while Others built fires and made
ready for the cooks A well was also
dug and supply of fresh water pro-
vided for.
There was but one accident of fatal
nature. Fireman Andrew Robbins,
while wading around in the shallow
water, fell into a deep hole and was
drowned, although every effort was
made to save him. A lieutenant aud
seven men were dispatched to Old
Providence for aid in life boat and
the remainder of the crew awaited
succor in comparative comfort
On the 10Th, just ten days after the
accident, the City of Para hove in sight
and the work of taking off the wrecked
men at once began. This was safely
accomplished without incident and a
start was at once made for Colon.
When last seen the famous old frigate
was hove down on one side with several
large holes in her bottom.

The captain Oft British merchant

rules and that having gone 30 fur aud
being forced to abdicate, the people
were justified in setting up a pro-

to be the case Mr.. Morgan necessarily

Harris, of the Philadelphia and Read

stand today at the hearing before

the Reading receivers. Mr. Harris
told OF the settlement by the receivers
of the Prince and Irwin claims which

transactions of the late President Nc
Leod and which have been repeatedly
published
A discussion ensued between counsel
over tho alleged duty of the master to
audit the accounts of the Reading Rail-
road and Coal and Iron companies
monthly. Attorney Blur contended
that the order Of the court was to this
effect, and Lawyer Dickson, for the re
ceivers, held that this could not bs
done in its entirety, Master Crawford
declared that it has besn impracticaOle
for him to audit the Reading accounts
monthly. Lawyer Blur thersupon
suggested that two masters should be
appointed for Reading
1t is probable that Messrs. Maxwell

Mr.. Mcleod 5000, 900 of the securities,
will be subposnaed 1t is expected
that Master Crawford will make his
