FOR GOVERNOR IN 1872,
Washington C. De Pauv,
OF FLOT» COUNTY.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 11,1871.
JUST a« Civil Service Reform has again been brought prominently before the country, we have the announcement that two defalcations have come to light in the Treasury Department. The discovery of these thefts may not afford a text for those who are solicitous for a more careful revision of original appointments, but they do call for better regulations to prevent fraud. Of course, some dependence must be placed upon the honesty and honor of employes, even under the best regulations but here are cases of thieving which have extended over a considerable period. In examining the accounts of Marden, who had taken $12,000 from the Treasurer's office, the searchers stumbled on a theft of $50,000, which had been committed by Johnson It was the old story: stock and gold speculations failure to
"realize," and tempta
tion to "borrow" from the Treasury of 1 lie United States more failure and final discovery of guilt. It is a shame that such tilings are possible in any department of the public service. It is an outrage on the people, that their business is done so losely at Washington that such thieving can be prosecuted for years without being detected. President Grant should take the responsibility into his own hands, and organize a system in each one of the departments that would prevent this. If this is not done, the official thieves at Washington will steal the people's money as fast as they can pay it into the treasury. Jf a subordinate clerk can take $50,000, and not be detected for years, what can the head of a department do? What the countiy wants in relation to Civil Service Refoim, is less talk by Congress about it, and more positive action by the President and the chief officials at Washington. Let the administration show its good intentions by its workw. There has been enough talk about reform, to reform the world, an'' yet the stealing geos on, and on, and °n.
How New York Treals lior Prisoners— An Indianinii Officially Murdered. The New York Sun, in referring to the recent death of Mr. Newltirk, in that city, says: "Azel P. Newkirk, on?o Speaker of the Indiana Assembly and a law partner of Jiuluo Jeremiah M. "Wilson, was nrrosteu -between 11 ftnrt 12 o'cloolc on Moiul-iy morning mul taken to JcfFevson Muiket Police Court lor examination. llirec oYloek is tlie hour for tho afternoon session of this eotirt. Mr. Newkirk was thrown into the prisoners' box to await the arrival of tho Judge. This box is a cell adjoining the court room. It has lour windows, filled with broken p.ines of KIHSS. Monday was N bitter cold day. The sir.k of the cell had overllowed, and the floor was covered with sheet of ice. Three hours alter Mr. Newkirk had been locked in this coll Justice Cox, prompt to the minute, took his seat. The officers brought out tho prisoners. Mr. Newkirk was alive but frozen stitf. lie died before morning."
What is there in the world that New York officials will not do? They steal all the money the people pay into tho treas* ury, and then, when a man is accused of crime, they put him in a lock-up and freeze him to death. Poor Newkirk, we remember him well. He was a kind, noble hearted fellow, but he had better have fallen into a den of ten thousand hungry tigers, than to have gotten into the clutches of New York city officials. If he had any money in his pockets, they would
rob him. If he had a good coat, they would take it off and appropriate it. If he owned a watch, it immediately became theirs, and to show their official power and gratify their hyena pleasures, they did freeze him to death. Mr. Newkirk, however, was never Speaker of our Legislature, but was a member of tho
THAT ablo Democratic organ, the New Albany ledger, is using its heavy artillery on Attorney General lliuuia. Do ineslic discord and tiorco civil strife" will soon oloso out what little remains of the once great Democratic party.— Express.
And the Terre Haute l-jcprcsn, is doing what little it u.m, in its accustomed way by imiendo and insinuation, to help the Le Iger and the Indianapolis Journal put as many stumbling blocks as passible in the way of the Attorney General's prosecutions against the wrong doings of corrupt met). hen Mr. Hanna was after the Democratic officials sharply, then the Exprcs* patted him on the back, but as soon as it was discovered that the radical officials were in the same old corrupt scow with those Democrats and the Attorney went after them also, then the Express comtueuced opposing these prosecutions, and endeavored to discourage and weaken his efforts. However, the people are with the Attorney General of this State iu his efforts to briug the corrupt acts of these men to justice, and the Express will soou find that its jeers at him, like the boomeraug, will fly back and wound it in the face.
THK Express Answers our question, "Are you in favor of Amnesty now?" iu the same stolid, dignified, pompous and discrete maimer that a well-fed and selfcomplacent jackass marches up to a sack of oats. It says:" "The Amnesty Bill, which passed the House at the last session is expected to come np for consideration in the Senate this week."
And we suppose after that, the old played-out specimeu o( journalistic antiquity will know what it believes, and
what it is privileged to say, on that important question. And this same amnesty bill is the one which the Republicans passed in the House, and which the radical Senators killed in a Senatorial caucus, and which action met the hearty approbation of the Express. It then praised the act of the Senate for its opposition to amnesty. In a few days, as soon as its masters speak, we opine it will huzzah for the President, because he is in favor of it.
That the Express is as bold as a sheep, as fearless as a kitten, and as independent as a "hog on ice," there can be no doubt.
Enough of Cameron.
The United States Senate never, within our knowledge, did a more unreasonable thing in the way of its own organization than when it removed Senator Sumner from the head of its most important Committee and put Senator Cameron in his place. It is unnecessry to revive the reasons assigned in justification of this charge. Suffice it to say that they were not only shallow but discreditable to those who put them forth. Senator Cameron is a man of ability and has fine qualifications for a great many important positions. But if he is possessed of a single qualification essential to a worthy Chairman of the Foreign .Relations Committee, it would please us exceedingly to learn what it is. He hps neither knowledge of law, nor knowledge of custom sufficient to qualify him for making a fourthrate Chairman. He has made more blunders during the eight months in which he has served in that capacity than Senator Sumner has made during his ten years of service. It is only yesterday that the tel-
6gr3pb gave an account of a most awkward blunder of his by which certain diplomatic correspondence which was appropriate only for private use, was iurnished to the clerk and sent broadcast over the country to the chagrin ol the Cabinet and the Senate. But it is useless to dwell on these things. Tho action ot the Senate, last spring, in the appointment of Senator Cameron to this position has never received the approbation of only small majority of the people. They don't care a straw whether Senator Sumner makes a flexible and obsequious bow to Mr. So-and-so, or whether he neglects to conform to that demand of a fastidious etiquette. All they care to know is that he is well qualified to perform tho duties of bis important station in such a way as to enhance the influence and honor of his country.
By no means do we claim that he is the only man qualified for that position, in the Senate. But people who know anything about the matter will admit that no Senator has superior qualifications, either in the way of ability, learning or experience, for tho important duties devolving upon the head of the Committee on Foreign Relations.—Fort Wayne Gazette.
Had not the Fort Wayne Gazette better
go a little slow? Don't it know that the removal of Mr. Sumner from the Chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Relations, and putting Mr. Cameron in his place, was an administration measure, advocated and brought about by the leading friends of President Grant. And does not the editor of the Gazette know that all this was done, and intended as a personal indignity to the Massachusetts Senator, because he had the manliness and independence of partisan dictation to rise above the blandishments of a party in power, and do what he thought was right and for the best interest of the whole country? If the editor of the Fort Wayne Gazette is familiar with those facts, he shows commendable journalistic. pluck to talk as he does in the above, but if he does not know it, a clap of partisan thunder from Washington will soon wake him up to a full consciousness
that the present leaders of the Republican party do not intend to tolerate much individual independence of thought.
Go slow, Mr. Editor, or the first thing you know you will be read out of the party by all the little cringing demagogues in the land, and denounced by all the bread and butter editors in the State.
As MI!. VOOHEES is now absent we transfer to our columns, for the delectation of the editor of the Journal, the following letter, which we clip from the Cincinnati Enquirer
OLNEY, III., Dec. 2, 1871.
Hon. Ban: TT. Voorhees: DKAR SIR—AS an humble citizen, I would liko to oft'er a few suggestions through the Enquirer, concerning the future of our Government. Taking a prospective view of the political situation, a low facts present themselves, amorig which are tho following: 1. That U. S. Grant wiil be tho nominee of tho Republican party. 2. That U. S. Grant will be re-elected if a Democrat bo run against him.
I think these facts are incontestible, but perhaps you will disagreo with me. Now, 1 don't want Grant re-elected, because I am a strong advocate of the one-term principle however, I am a conservative Republican. The only way to defeat Grant, is to run a Liberal Republican against him. Tho Republicans will not do this, I know. The Democrats might do it, but will they Taking everything in'o consideration, I think it the best thing they can do. Let the Democracy assemble and select somo honest, upright, Liberal Republican, and sucecss is theirs. Let them select a man who has clemency for tho South, and hatred for tho monopolies and high tariffs, and we need not bo in a doubt as to the result. Perhaps you will say that this would be sacrificing too much. But one thing is certain. Some sacrifice has to be made, and would it not look as well tor a Democratic Convention to nominate a liberal Republican as it would for a Democratic Convention to adopt a Democratic platform with a few Republican planks in it? Look at Missouri! What elected B. Gratz Brown? Democrats and liberal Republicans. Does any Democrat regret having voted for B. Gratsr, lirown Not one. Neither would Democrats regret having elected some liberal Republican President of the United States. llopimr that you will pjnder well what I havo said, I remain yours truly, Ac.
R. W. CLAY.
THAT able Republican paper, the SprinnlMd (Mass.) Republican, says a few sensible words as follows "It is very small business lor a grant newspaper like the New York Times to be printing such stuff as it did 011 Monday about what it elegantly calls the "sorehead conspiracy" asrainst the re-election of Gen. Grant' How long is it, pray, since American freemen made themselves liable ton chargeof "conspiracy" by opposing the re-election of their head servant, tho President ot the United States? How long has Gen. Grant, had such a mortgago ontheWhite House that itbecame "conspiracy" to wish him to leave it when his official term is out, and give place to a better man? There are plenty of men for the chief magistracy—scarcely an office-holder is so besotted as to claim that Gen. Grant is the best man for President in the whole country why, then, must great statesmen and honest citizens be branded as "oouspirators" for seeK»ng*to put abetter man in the place of Gen. Grant? We hone the and the crowd of lesser newspapers that feel bound to support the wishes of the President for re-election, will overhaul their dictionaries, and see if thev can not find a b9tter word than "conspiracy" for the legitimate expression of popular opinion against the further contiunance of tho present White House domination."
AT last the pnblio has what we ffttlt is the whole of the Catacazy business. The case against the Minister seems conclu^
8ive,
and the evidence overwhelming that he uot only attempted to manipulate
popular opinion in a manner contrary to all ideas of diplomatic usage, but that he forfeited the right to be considered a truthful gentleman. The President was severe on him, very severe but he was just right. If a foreign Miuister so far forgets himself as to undertake to control public sentiment in this country, by attacking the Government or any of its chief officers through the public press, he ought to be treated just as the President treated this Russian Minister.
AUSTRALIA is the last country united to us by a telegraphic girdle. The man whose genius gave birth to the idea of telegraphy is yet alive, and nearly every country of the globe feels the pulse of its antipodes through the power of his invention. Most discoveries take centuries to perfect, this has grown in a lifetime till it spans the earth.
Fonr Evils.—Whoever habitually uses any alcoholic preparations as an "appetizer" will be likely to suffer from four evils, viz.: an overplus or food in the stomach, impaired ability to digest it, the pangs of dyspepsia, and a doctor's bill.
