Year: 1876

SECRETARY RoBEsoN is clearly unfit
for his place, and as Impeachment is i'm
probable the president ought TO remove
him at once, and thereby wash his own
hands of all completely with the shame
ful transactions brought to light by the
committee of investigation.-N \. Her.


THE Pittsburgh Post thinks Grant is
certain to be heard fron, in one way or
another, at the national convention

THE Kellogg government will expire
with the current year and with its de-
cease, whatever may be the politics or
the personnei of that administration
which succeeds to the inheritance of mis-
cry, the obligation of the United States

people of Louisiana, will come to an end.

REPUBLICAN papers Just now raying
about bloody massacres" and assassina-
tions in Louisiana, should also inform
their readers that Louisiana is governed

THE colored people who ponder the
report of the committee on the Freed.
mems bank, and all the robbery of their
cash which it reveals, will probably re-

is their enl Y salvation" For 81 500,-
600 of liabilities, the bank has not more
than s750,00O to pay the depositors'

men" and earnest republicans in the
management of that bank, but these
gentlemen borrowed" and paid not
again-and the colored depositor gnashcs

The big new consolidated paper at st.
Paul and Minneapolis, the Pioneer-Press
and Tribune, says: If there is any
thing the country is more sincerely sick
and tired of than anything else, it is the
bloody shirt. One chief reason why
Morton is not popular candidate for
president, is because he is always waving
the bloody shirt. And there appears to
have been something like general re-
solve among the better elements of the
republican party to get rid of the bloody
shirt and bury it out of sight with all
other pretexts for interfering by military
coercion or in other arbitrary ways with
the local governments of the south, and
devote themselves TO the practical work
of roofing out corruption and reforming
the administration of the government
within its own legitimate sphere"
