WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 187J.

The Carpet-Baggers—A I'ictiuc. We have already published Horace (ireeley's speech in New \ork, on his return from a Southern trip as far as Texas. That speech has been extensively circulated in the independent press of the country. We have forgotten whether the Express has spread it before its readers. The Indianapolis Journal, and papers of that stamp, gave a short telegraphic report of that remarkable speech, but we think the editor forgot to publish a revised copy of Mr. Greeley's utterances. We have seen nothing in the English language so terribly severe and just on that class of public robbers known as "carpet-baggers." It is always allowable to publish the Declaration of Independence once a year, and Greeley's speech could be profitably .published every week during 1871. For a sharp and truthful description of that band of

Northern rogues and hypocrites, we have seen nothing equal to it for raany a day. After showing how the South was overrun by this vermin horde, Mr. (Jreeley said "Well, gentlemen, the thieving carpetbaggers are a mournful fact they do exist there, and I have seen them. [Laughter.] They are l'ellows who crawled down South in the track of our armies, generally a very safe distance in tlie rear some of them on sutler's wagons some bearing cotton permits some of them looking sharply to see what may turn up and they remain there. They at once in£ratiated themselves with the blacks, simple, credulous, ignorant men, very glad to welcome and to follow any whites who professed to bo the champions of their rights. Some ol' these got elected Senators, others Kepresentatives, some S her ills, some Judges, and so on. And there they stand, right in the public eye, stealing "and plundering, many of them with both arms around negroes, and their hands in their rear pockets, seeing it'they can not pick a paltry dollar out of thsm aiiil the public looks at them, does not regard the honest Northern men, but calls every carpet-bagger a thief, which is not the truth by a good deal. But these fellows—many them long-faced, and with eyes rolled tip,are greatly concerned for the education of the blacks,'and for the salvation of their souls. [Great Laughter.] 'Lot us tirav,' they say. But they spell party with an 'e,' and, thus spelled, they obey the apostolic injunction to 'prav without ceasing.' "Fellow-citizens, the time lias been and still is, when it was perilous to be known as a Republican or an Abolitionist in the South, but it never called the blush of shame to any man's cheek to be so called, until these thieving carpet-baggers went there—never. [Applause.] They got into the Legislature they went to issuing State bonds they pretended to use them in aid of railroads and other improvements. But the improvements were not made and the bonds stuck in the issuer's pockets. [Laughter.] That is the pity of it. 'Well,' some say, 'you have just such thieves at the North.' es, we do—too many of them. [Applause.] But the South was'already impoverished—was bankrupt—without niDiiey, without thrift, almost, without food and these fellows went there robbing and swindling when there was very little to steal, and taking the last ten cent shinplaster off of the dead men's eyes. They were recognized by the late aristocracy not merely as thieves, but as enemies. Says Byron's (freek minstrel: 'A tvrant—but our masters then

Were sii) 1 at least our countrymen.' "Thus we record the men -who annually rob us at Albany, at Trenton, and at Ilarrisburg. Thcvdo not carry their plunder out of the State when the* get any. These fellows do. The South was not merely beaten in the late contest she was profoundly astonished by th© result. Ilei people* have not fairly got over their amazement at their defeat and what they see of us, are these thieves, who represent the North to their jaundiced vision, and, representing it, they disgrace it. They are the greatest obstacles to the triumph and permanent ascendency of Republican principles at the South, and as such I denounce them. [Applause.]"

When the war ceased, and the armies of Lee and Johnson had surrendered, it was a lavorite scheme of the Radicals to get possession of the whole Southern country, aud to shape its political, religious, and social interests to their o'\ purposes. The carpet-baggers were the instruments to effect these objects. Sharp schemers and unscrupulous politicians were the kind of men engaged in this work. Republican gentlemen—men of high character—were never thought of for this work. The lower strata was alone employed to do what no true gentleman would undertake. Greeley describes them as riding down there "on sutler's wagons," with "cotton permits" their pockets, or, like Micawber, chaps waiting for something to turn up. And the churches at the North took a sly hand in this reconstruction scheme of the Radicals. We know of a few preachers who went down there from Indiana for thejnous purpose of getting possession of the meeting houses, turning them over to the negroes, and dumping the white "brethren" out of them, neck and heels! That scheme did not work very well, and the most of them have returned to us, wiser if not better men.

Now, Mr. Greeley is a decent and well behaved Republican—a gentleman of conscientious convictions, and, withal, a man head and shoulders in intellect above the small agitators who infest Congress and the State Legislatures. He does not rely for his knowledge of the South on venal and hired correspondents of the Northern radical press. He has been in the South himself—has traveled over many of her States—has mixed with her people, and looked in upon the crew of "carpet-baggers" who steal and plunder in the name of loyalty! He tells you who aud what they are.

Under the reign and tyranny of such vile vagabonds, is it at all surprising that the people of the South should be dissatisfied with the conduct of a Government which not only tolerate* but encourages the lawlessness of such men Let any Western citizen ask himself how he would feel if the meanest classes of the Ygouth were turned loose and allowed to

domineer over the intellect and intelligence of the North There would be in every bush a Ku Klux, and in every mountain pass and glen an army of them. No interloper could live and do as Mr. Greeley declares is done in the South by these infamous characters. These are the chaps whom the Administration relies upon for support, and for whose success Morton prays, Cameron groans, and Grant smokes his pipe of peace! Have such men no shame?

Official Disagreement.

There is a serious row amongst certain officials in Washington. Commissioner Parker (he who manages the Indian Bureau) accuses the Indian Peace Commissioners with running the concern in the interest of the Pennsylvania "ring," thus plundering the Indians and the Government in the sale of supplies for the different tribes. That ring is headed by Geo. II. Stuart, a leading saint in the Young Men's Christian Association, which concern, it is suspected, talk much more than they do. Mr. Stuart stands by the "Commissioners," and that new body of officials will stand by him. He is in Washington, backing up the "ring," and Grant relies upon him to carry the pious vote of Pennsylvania to secure his re-nomination. Parker, who is a half-breed Indian, accuses Stuart with opposition to him, because he will not allow him and his cronies to steal and swindle. 'The tight is an interesting one as it stands but as Senator Cameron belongs to the "ring," we predict that Parker will have to surrender. Grant is down in Jersey, hob-nobbling with the fashionable people at his summer watering place, and the quarrel goes oil in his absence. WTe can't say that we care much who wins the tight. The Indians and the Government will be fleeced, anyhow.

Ku Klux.

The house of a Mr. Harris, in Charlemont, Massachusetts, was forcibly entered on the night of the ISth of April, by a body of masked men, and his wife forcibly carried off into an adjoining Held, stripped of her clothing, and her body and limbs besmeared with tar ami feathers, and then turned loose. There were no charges made against her, and her poor dolt of a husband was too cowardly to protect her. No doubt the wretches who committed the fiendish act have some ready apology for their misdeeds. This could hardly have happened in the meanest village in the South. A woman's form and face would have brought some one to her relief. Though this happened two months ago, according to the New York /$7m. We have heard of no movement of Grant's troops in the direction of Massachusetts. The Ku Klux in thatregion are all radicals

Suit on Official Boutl.

Riyless W. Ilanna, Attorney General of the State of Indiana, has commenced suit in the Superior Court against John D. Evans, late Auditor of State, on the official bond of the latter, to recover $100,000 said to have been received by Evans while Auditor of State, as interest oil the sinking fund. Monday afternoon a motion by the defendant's attorney to dismiss the complaint on the ground that neither the Governor nor a majority of the State officers had ordered the Attorney General to bring the suit, was argued and taken under advisement by Judge Nowcomb, who will give his decision this morning. The Stale is represented by Attorney General Hanna, W. R.Harrison, John C. Robinson, and Solomon Claypool the defendant by Porter, Harrison & Hines, McDonald, Butler & McDonald, and Finch, Conner & Finch.

Hon. JereTMiaii S. Black has been quoted as opposed to the ninth resolution in the Pennsylvania Democratic platform. This is not true. He was in Harrisburg during the sitting of the convention, being engaged in the Supreme Court then in session, and gave his opinion in writing, expressing in the boldest terms the binding obligation of the several amendments to the Constitution. So says the Pittsburg Post.

Jefferson Davis denies, in a letter to Judge Styles, that he is correctly reported by the Northern correspondents of the press as to his two speeches. He says, emphatically, that he has not counselled opposition to any of the laws of Congress, Rut is willing to await the returning sense of justice of the Northern people for their modification.

Spiritualism.

A Convention of Spiritualists convened at Indianapolis last week, and had a good time in conversing with the departed. We have no room for that portion of their proceedings, but assume that the brethren and sisters enjoyed it. They passed five resolutions, which may be called a platform. The following we find in the Indianapolis papers, and publish them for the information of our readers. The fourth resolution is particularly good, and will find an endorsement in every quarter lirsolrcd, That we view modern Spiritualism in its moral and practical sense, as embracing every subject appertaining to the happiness, interest, and destiny of man, both in tnis life and that which is to come.

Resolved, That we deem the education and moral training of the young the surest way to eradicate crime 'and dissipation from our land, and that we, as radical reformers, feel it our duty to do all in our power to give such proper education to the children of the present day as are to be found in our lyceums and our beautiful philosophy.

Resolved, That the late attempt to suppress the labors of our mediums, by passing and enforcing laws subjecting them to arrest aud fines, and the suspension of their labors, is unjust and disgraceful, and one against which we earnestly protest.

Resolved. That anj' attempt to unite Church and State as a Government policy is arbritrary, and that wo consider the present movement of certain theologians to inaugurate a Grod in the Constitution as subversive to the rights of community and liberality of worship, hence tyrannical and counter to the spirit and principles upon which our Constitution is founded, and that it is therefore our duty to oppose with pen, speech and ballot any such attempt as the extinction of our liberties.

Resolved, That as reformers it is our duty to observe closely the politics of our times, and to \oto witii no pcirty or sect, and for no man for any office whatever not known to be actuated by liberal and humanitarian principles.

The Committee on Nominations report ed: That there are twenty-four active societies and lyceums in the State, and over one hundred members of the State Association, thereby entitling Indiana to a representation of twenty-seven delegates in th« Convention of the American Association ot Spiritualists, to I30 held in the city

of Troy, New York, commencing the 12th day of September, 1870, and recommending tho following named as delegates to the National Convention:

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

The following conversation recently took place between parties living in this city, and being reported to lis, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with anew dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did you-pay for it

Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 7" cents a yard for it!

Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where I got mine.

Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours?

Mrs. R.—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE.

Mrs. B.— Do you then trade at Foster Brother's? I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, wliy not I always buy where I can buy the cheapest,and I

sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do

as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am tola that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented?

Mrs. R.—I have tiaded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I pot a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I qot it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut ott' a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that hod sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it tome. Going in I happened to meet Mr. Foster iself, iind I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland."

us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my money. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of

will take the goods back just as they are and return you

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down'upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old 'stores £0 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging.

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow''I am going around to the New YorK City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the above without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is quite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken iu our behalf. F. B.

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to tne buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I liavn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go aud listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly ofiered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to tliein weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may b£ obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streetsefforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.
