is (lirniit a Bribe'falter? The article republished in the Gazette of Yesterday from the New York Sun of the day previous, is a formidable indictment of Grant.- It shows in brief these facts: Gen Ingalls gave Mrs. Grant a watch and chain of rare workmanship and exquisite beauty, designed for Queen Victoria» and costing nearly $5,000. Subsequent to the presentatation of this valuable gift Grant sent Quartermaster General Meigs out of the country for one practical purpose. Passing then over the heads of two or three other military officers, in the line of promotion, preceeding Ingalls, but who had given nothing to Grant or his family, lie made Ingalls, the gift giver, Quartermaster General. It id absurd to suppose that he did not bestow the office in return for tjhe present to his wife.

It was an outrage upon our Democratic institutions where promotions are supposed to be given for merit and according to rule. It was an outrage as deep and damnable, 1 as his taking his son. from the foot of the class at West Point, and carrying him from a second Lieutenancy, over the heads of his more meritorious companions, to a position as Lieut*Colonel, with staff duty, and illimitable leaves of absence for fun in Washington.

But to return to Ingalls, He bought his office for $5,000. Is it presumable that he does not propose to make up that amount with interest, from the people? It Is presumable that he does not rely for protection in his knavery, upon the man from whom he bought his offict? Is there a man who doubts that Ingalls as Quartermaster General has duplicated the performances of Belknap, and stolen where he had a chance. Will not a man who gets an office by bribery, accept bribes in return? Will not a President who is bribed into the wiving of an office, protect that officer in fenavsry? It is not more than probable, that Grant, like Belknap, exacts soinuch per annum from an officer, who gave a $5,000 watch for the officii.|o his wife? The Presi. dent is the peiwn.Who should be impeached.

the sickening details of fraud

after fraud practiced on the Government by high, officials in the Cabinet of Grant, it is pleasant to turn to a panegyric of that eminent Statesman. Fortunately, or unfortunately, as the reader4may deem it, one is not compelled to go far. Among tbe many other things which the Republicans of Indiana indorsed with three times three and a tiger, at their late State Convention was a resolution innoeently marked twenty. It probably signifies the average duration of imprisonment behind iron bars, due tho high and mighty Ulysses and his interesting kitchen Cabinet. But we detain the reader. Here is resolution number XX. adopted by the Republicans. It is commenced to the prayerful perusal of the amiable reader, who is charged to keep his temper if he can:.

SENATE.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON SESSION. Washington, March 9. Mr. Gordon called up a resolution submitted by him Tuesday, instruct ing tbe Committee on Finance to ascertain, if possible, what amendments to our revenue laws are necessary for economy, and certainty in the collec tion of internal revenue and prevent recurrence of officiol frauds in that branch of public service. He mod iiiod the resolution to read as follows

Whereas, The frequent and enormous frauds committed by distillers and Government officials, have depriv ed the Government of a large propor tion of its legitimate revenues, and brought disrepute upon an important branch of public service, and

Whereas, The interest of the people and the good name of tho government demand that congress shall take immediate steps to so amend the laws for economy and purity in the collection of the internal revenue, therefore,

Resolved, That tho committee of finance be instructed to ascertain, possible, what the defects are In the present system, and what legislation is necessary to remedy these defects, and especially to inquire, first, whether it be advisable to so amend the laws, as to levy whisky tax directly on the ca pacity of fermenting tubs, and require it to be collected in advance, and second, to create corps of excise to hold office indefinitely removable only for incapacity or malfeasance in office.

Gordon said that the resolution pro prosed radical changes in the revenue laws, It was proper therefore that he should explain the resolution, and he nect-ssity for such charges, and he disclaimed in advance any disposition to reflect upon the head of the revenue bureau or Treasury Department. His purpose was to deal with the system alone and show its defects. Had this resolution been adopted eight years ago, even Joyce would bave been compelled to act as an honest man. The whisky distillers would have paid the tax, and the whisky ring would have been impossible. Money enough would have been sayed to the Government to pay the (O of ono handred| centennial exhibitions, or build the PacificiRailroad, not only to California but around the world if there was land to sustain it. He believed that there should have been received into the Treasury since 1864, over 51,450,000,000 from tax on whisky but instead of that only about 450 millions had been received. Take into consideration tho fact that production, as well a* con sumption, bad been increased by the Southern States resuming their relation with the Federal Government, he believed at least a thousand million dollars had been lost to tho Government on account of tbe whisky frauds Where had this money gone? Into the pockets of dishonest distillers, or, what was worse, into the pockets of dishonest? Government officials, and had brought disgrace and demoralization upon our country. Why was it that England when under the same system as our Government, could collect ten times as much in gold as the United States can in greenbacks. It was be cause England appointed her officers solely to collect taxes, while they were here appointed to collect taxes and holp the party, which for the time, might happen to be in power. [Ap plause in the galleries, but promptly checked by the President.] The En glish excise officer was forbidden to belong to any party organization, but here such officer not only might belong to a party organization, but he must belong to a party and the one to which he was indebted for his commis sion. He must work for and pay to that party appointing him, and if he refused to do so his official head went into the basket. In England tbe revenue system was a success and the pride of the people, while in this ccun try the same system was an ignomini ous failure, famous only from failure, and conspicuous only from crime infamous with the people and a disgrace to the country. As long as revenue officers were appointed by party for the time in power, the country would have theae corruptions. Tice meters might be increased, dilligence might be doubled and ^agents quadrupled, hut as long as agents were appointed on account of their party influence so long would dishonest distillers bribe dishonest officials. He wished to add his deep conviction that whatever party might be called upon to administer the Government, if it appointed men to collect taxes oh account of their party influence, disgrace would be brought on the party. If it should be the will of the American people as he believed it would be soon, to put the Democratic party in power, that party would bring honesty to these departments. Yet so fully was he persuaded that there would be a temptation to use money to keep the party in power that he felt very much like praying to the Lord to deliver the Democrats also from temptation. He said a corps of excise must be created, must be removed from the temptations of party support. To-day, standing in tho shadow of that awful event which cast a gloom over the whole country, it grieved him to state that American institutions were impelled by these Bad and sickening disclosures of the last few years. What are. they? Corruption, official corruption in high places and in low credit ihobilier, Sanborn contracts, Washington

City government ring, and last, the horrid, filthy, dirty whisky ring. This wave of corruption which has swept over the country and broke at last at the very steps of the executive mansion, had become sickening to the people. This was a goodtimeto begin the

reformation, and this was a good place to begin 'it. He hoped all would unite to restore a pure service and unite all tbe people.

Mr. Morton' said that it had been said that ciTil war was generally followed by a period of demoralization to a greater or less degree, and he supposed there was something in that, and that case the responsibility would come back to those who made tho civil wat^ and those who made that civil war should be perhaps the last persons to cemplain of its consequences. If the Senator irom Georgia (Gordon) could suggest any practical measures to prevent frauds or collect the revenue, he (Morton) would unite with him or any person else'for that purpose. True there had been corruption in the collection of the revenue, and doubtless there would be hereafter. No matter what party administered the Government, there were good and bad men in both parties. The statement tbat all good men were in one party, and all the bad ones in the other party, was beneath his contempt.

Mr. Gordon said that he could not bear the idea of having the Senator's contempt, and therefore must correct his assertion. He did not say that all good men were in one party, and all bad in another. He meant the party which administered the revenue system as at present organized, would bring bad men to it.

Mr. Morton, resuming, said tbat Senator Gordon said there was to be change in the party administering the Government and ti-.o Democratic party would bring honesty t- the collection of the revenue. He said in substance that tbe revenues were now diverted to tbe support of party, and charged that the Republican party was corrupt He, Morton, denied tbe assumption tbat the Democratic party had all the good men. While it was assumed that the Democratic party had all the good men and the Republican party had all the bad ones, he begged leave to say that tne Republican parly had known the Democratic party. They had known that party from childhood and were unable to say that in the average those in that party were any better than other people. If Republicans admitted tbat Democrats were as good as other people they did as much as they could conscientiously do. The Senator, Gordon, had declared that a thousand million dollars had been stolen.' Some money had been stolen but tbe Senator was rather extravagants in his figures.

The Senator, Gordon, hud enlarged upon the system of England. It ap™ peared from his remarks that ho admirep that country inorfc than a republic.

There had been some difficulty in collecting revenue in the souther States owing to the murder of revenue officials, and then it was said that their family distilled there, where they distilled enough for tho neighborhood only. The civil service reform proposed by the Senator from Georgia, was very sweeping* why he did not bring in a bill to have it extended to all the departments of the Government, if the lite tenure was such a good thing? In other words, wbv not com® out in favor of a monarchy instead of a republic? There was where the whole proposition ended. What the Senator Gordon knew about whisky frauds, be knew from investigations set on foot bv a Republican administration. He could not point to an instance where any such investigation had been authorized by a Democratic administration. The Sanburn frauds and Credit Mobilier exposure, were the result of

investigations set on foot by a Republican House of Representatives. That party was an honest party which investigated its own members and punished them. S3

Sherman said this was the first time since the interna1 revenue law had been passed thai speech, for party purposes, had been made

sgainst

Mr. Morton said that the point had been made in bis speech that Toombs claimed that the Georgia election had been carried by bribery and intimidation and nothing bad been said in response to that.

Mr. Gordon said that ho denied that the ele Georgia had been carried by o'ion in and intimidation. He knew bribnrv bodies ol colored men marc that lnrsre polls and voted tho Dem bed to tho and colored Democrat ocrat ticket, organized all over tbe ic clubs wern re had been any bri State. If the ation in Georgia, bery and Jntimid or Morton show it?

it. it

was impossible to enforce such a law as that proposed by the Senator from Georgia it would be taxing a business before such business was'carried on. It would be taxing whisky before it was made, no one ever heard of such a thing, as to an excise corps, the people of the United States would never tolerate any such band.

Gordon said that when he introduced bis resolutions, he had no conception of the scope which was to be taken in .the debate. He had no partisan motives in introducing them, and ho was astonished that the Senator should think that because he stated facts which were shown by the records of the departments, that he was not ju* tified in doing so. Had it come to this that when a Southern man spoke of the wrongs perpetrated upon the Government, be should be insulted by the statement that he occupied his seat by the magnanimity of the Republican party, and was tbereiore not to men tion any of the delinquincies of that party? The Senator from Ohio, (Sherman) made an insinuation unworthy of him when be said that he, Gordon, had taken advantage of this occasion to bring forward his resolution they had been prepared for a month, and he had been ready to speak, but other business occupied the attention of the Senate. All the bombast about the resolution being anti-republican was only intended to turn the eyes of the people away from the frauds which bave been perpetrated. He referred to his speech at Atlanta, and said he was unable to see what his remarks there had to do with this subject.

He next spoke of the causes of war and said because the men of the South diff-« ered from those of the North, they were not to be condemned. Their political teachings from youth up had been different from those of people of the North, and they were honestly entertained. Did such difference preclude him from criticising the administration? Gordon did not propose to be drawn into a passionate discussion by tbe senator from Indiana, for the purpose which he (Morton) might have in his hoart. Tbe war was brought, on account of difference in opinion when tbe South seceded from the union she placed tbe issue upon tbe arbitrament of battle, and when that iisue was decided by the fate of battle, the South let her construction of the constitution be decided also, and to-day no one knew better than the senator from In diana that henceforth and forever the question of secession was settled, not here only, but in the mind of every man in the South. He (Gordon) thought Morton, was continually flinging in the faces of Southern Senators, the statement that they had been engaged a ereat crime. It mattered not what a outhern man brought up in the Senate, however honest he might be, no areument was so potent with the Senator from Indiana, as a reference to the action of that man in the war. Senator Morton bad read from bis (Gordon's) speech at Atlanta, but he bad stopped before he^ reached the point where he (Gordon) referring to the speeoh of Toombs, asked those whom be was addressing if the utterances of Toombs, reflected the sentiment of a singie one in that body andthere was a universal cry of no, no yet Senate would hold tbe utterances of Toombs upas the sentiments of the Pe®P^e °f nLrffiA and of the south, when he (Qorlon) bad cbaraeteriMd as wndand.howedtb.lMth8 peopl6 Georgia did not endorse them, it is inst Suit Senator Morton' should thus seek to nreiudice the people of one see* ten aiXst another? ln conclusion he senttcfthe(^lerk'8de^ ahdb^d read the resolutions of riKht? of tore acknowleding thef all oitizensi the constitutional amendments, etc.

Mr. Morton said h§ had shown it by tbe statement o'f Tombs, 'and he knew he was one of the most important Democrats in Georgia. He (Morton) did not intend to insult Senator Gordon, when he spoke of the magnanimity ol the Republican party, he spoke Bimply of the truth of history. He then read from the speech of Senator Gordon at Atlanta, where he referred to him (Morton) in connection with the Pinchback case, southern investigations, ftc., and said the people of the South had to meet the world, the fiesb, and the Senator from Indiana. [Laughter.]

Resuming, Morton said that Senator Gordon had carefully excluded the devil, because the people down there had no equal with the devil. [Renowed laughter. The devil had done more to estaolish the par .y there than any one else, and did it never go down until he deserted It, that would not be very soon. continued by Withand Edmunds, of en after a short exec-

The house then adjourned, when it was announced that on account of Lamar's sickness tbe Democratic caucus, which was to have been held to-night, had been postponed till Saturday- night.

Be evlng that cleansing the Blood waj he only irue way of banishing disease and being troubled with a Scrotulous disease, known as Salt Rheum and Weak ness of the Lungs, and finding no care, 1 commenced to experiment by compounding roots, uslngthe medicine thas obtain ed. I fortunately discovered a mott won derlnl Blood Searcher, or Bitters, which notonly gave me instantaneous relief, bu after a, few weeks' time, effected a perfeo" cure, I tnen prepared a quantity of Koot Bitters, and was in the habit of piving them away to the sick. I found the medi cine possessed the most wonderful virtues effecting cures of all diseases, originating from bad blood or weakness of the system, as if by magic, A.t lost the demand became so great that I found myself called upon to supply patients with medicln in all parts of the ooutinent, and was compelled to establish a Labratory for compounding and bottling the Root Bitters in large quantities. 1 was at flrat backward in presenting

Ither myeelf or remedy to the public, not being a patent medicine man, and with limited capital, but I am getting bravely over that.. Since first advertised this wonderful medicine I have been crowde with orders from druggists \nd countj cis,and the Fcores of let'ers I receiv from persons cured, prove tbe fact that remedy has ever' done so much good a had such a success as the Root Bitters.

Root Bitters are strictly a Medicinal Prep aration, such as was used in tbe good old days of our forefathers. wh«»n people were ouied by some simple root or plant, and when calomel and other poisons of tbe mineral kingdom were unknown. For consumption, Asthma, Catarrh,Scrofula, Scrofulous Eruptions, Rheumatism, Heart Disease. Dizziness, Livei 'omplaint. Kidney ana Urinary Diseases,\. /er and Aeue.Dlspepsia, Lost Vitality, ujd BrokenDown Constitutions, ihese Koot Bitters are Unlversmiy admitted to be the most wonderful discovery in the world. Their searching, healing properties penetrate every portion of the human frame, soothing the lUL-gsand strengthing the stomach, kid neyn, and liver. For weakly, nervous young men suffering from loss of memory etc., caused from abuses in early life, and to delicate females, theae Root Bitters are especially recommended. Ho other medi ciiie will cure Scurvy, Salt Rheum, BoUs. Tetter,Ringworm, White Swelling, Sore Eyes, Running of the Ears, Ulcers, Fevei Sores,Cancerous Formations, Dropsy. Ereslpelous, Pimples, Flesh Worms, Pustules, Blotches and all Skiu diseases, so quickly as the Root Bitters. All Root Bitters lay the axeat Ihe Root of the tree of disease, by searching and purltying the blood whlCL will nourish and invigorate every oagat and part of the body and keep It in lepai until a ripe old age.

I warrant my Root Bitters a perfect cure for the ah ive and similar diseases, and in case of allure, where the medicine has had

falrtria', will thank all to call or write and get back their money. Show this to jSour druggist, or storekeeper, if he doni bave a stock of my Root Bitters on hand,

ask

him to order a supply or enclose mt the pries by mall and you will receive the medioine by express.
