The Washington Patriot under its
sew management is doing noble set
vice for the people in bringing to
light the corrupt and thieving pro
pensities and practices of their offi
cial servants.
It haa recently brought out for
public consideration the interesting
little fact that our pure-minded and
high-toned chief magistrate, Mr. TJ.
S. Grant, is a government defaulter
of long standing. When serving as
Commissary and Quartermaster in
the army during the Mexican War he
failed to account for all the funds
which came into his hands, so that at
the close of the war there was a
balance standing against him of more
than five thousand dollars. He was
repeatedly asked by the Third Audi
tor to make a settlement, and as re
peatedly neglected to do any thing
of the kind. At one time Congress
voted him an indemnity of $1,000,
on account of money stolen irom his
funds during the war. This indem
nity the Third Auditor seized upon
and put to his credit on the deficit,
which reduced the principal of the
sum due to just $4,441. This sum
has been due for twenty-three years,
and at six per cent, compound inter
est 0e total amount due at tlie present
day to the U. S. Governmenl from this
defaulting Paymaster, U. S. Grant, ex
ceeds fifteen thousand dollars in round
numbers.
The Patriot's article seems to have
caught the attention of Mr. Grant
and caused him some uneasiness of
mind. In reply he trumps up the
statement that he lost his vouchers
by shipwreck, and that alone pre
vented him from putting the thing
right. It happens, however, that he
never before told this story of the
loss of vouchers. He made no pre
tence of any such loss when he was
dunned time after time by the Audi
tor, and it is only after the lapse of
more than twenty years, when the
fact of his defalcation is given the
public for consideration along with
hundreds of similar defalcations on
the part of his subordinates, that he
bethinks himself of the loss!
It is for the sensible people of the
country to decide for themselves
which is the more probable lhat
Mr. Grant had his vouchers stolen,
and never mentioned the fact when
repeatedly called upon to settle the
account against him, or whether be
is in plain words a thief and defaulter,
to-day honestly owing the govern
ment more than fifteen thousand
dollars. '

Scio, Feb. 13, 1872.
Editor Democrat :
Hon. N. n. Cranor's speech here,
last Saturday, was universally com
mended. Two hours of logical elo
quence surprised the most sanguine.
31r. Cranor possesses in an eminent
degree the qualifications of a good pd
litical speaker. His quiet yet potent
arguments contrast so favorably with
the usual tirade and bombast indicted
upon club meetings, that I almost
hope a new era is dawning. By his
earnest manner and plain yet forcible
language, Mr. Cranor will arrest the
attention of his most careless auditors
and leave a lasting impression on the
enquiring mind, i Would that it were
possible for him to speak in every pre
cinct in Oregon prior . to the first
Monday in June. Come and bear
him, Republicans, when you have the
privilege ; ' he will not offend, but
reason with you. V ; X. '
It is said that the part Jimmy Pig
gy O'Meara performed at the Port
land1 Chinese Banquet" last, week,
was that of spittoon for the rest of
the. .guests. .. Miss Chin-Fap-She at
one time mistook him for something
else, unnamable in these columns!
MB. HELM AT SYRACUSE.
Editor Democrat:
Hon. .Geo. li. Helm addressed the
Syracuse Democratic Club on laat
Saturday, by invitation. He reviewed
the prominent issues which divide the
two great parties of the prosent day
in 60eh a manner as ought to carry
conviction to the minds of all reason
able and thinking men that Demo
cratic principles should prevail, and
the party be once more placed in
power, so as to administer the gov
ernment of the United States on the
the old principles of the Constitution,
such as had prevailed throug'.it a pe
riod of near 70 years of posperity
and peace. The speaker showed that
Democratic principles still remained
the same as when they were in power;
that they had administered the gov
ernment from its inception, until the
present Republican party came iuto
power, with the. exception of a very
short period; that the Republican
party had in the course of ten years
radically changed the whole principles
of the Constitution, by what is termed
tho 14th and 15th Amendments, thus
introducing new issues unheard of
before, with all their ruinous conse
quences; that tho Administration of
President Lincoln, bad as it was,
might be termed good when com
pared with the Administration of
President Grant, whose policy was to
increase his patronage and power by
the creation of new offices, encourag
ing fraud and peculation in every de
partment of the government, which is
now being plainly shown by able and
leading Republicans themselves. He
spoke of the corruptions of Secretary
Boutwell, relative to his management
of what is called the Syndicate fund
also the effects of the United States
bonds not being taxable; that he was
in favor of some law being passed to
tax at least all new issues of bonds;
that the partial liquidation of the
public debt as represented by the
Republican party, was measurably a
fraud on the people; that instead of
being paid it was only changed into
another shape. He spoke of the op
pression of a high protective tariff;
ibat its operation was against the la
boring class, the consumer, and in
favor ot the capitalist, building them
up in wealth and power, while placing
burdens upon the shoulders of the
poor man; that Democrats were in
favor of equal and exact justice to
one and to all alike, and opposed to
all class-lesrislalion. He u Tired all
Democrats to be wide awake to all
such encroachments npon their rights
and liberties; that all the monied in
corporations of the country work
against the interest of the people;
that the great fight now was capital
againt labor hence the nncessity of
a strict watch on every hand ; that
he was opposed to Congress giving
to such monopolies the public bonds.
which had been designed for home
steads for the poorer classes, by the
former actions of the Democratic
party while in power, which land
grants to those monied incorporations
are building them up in wealth and
power in opposition to the laboring
interests of the country. He said that
he was not opposed to the improve
ments of the country, but that be was
in favor of giving all needful encour
agement to such improvements ; but
needful laws should be passed to
keep them from encroaching npon the
rights of the people. He spoke also
of the interference of Congress with the
rights of States in regulating the man
ner of voting.
In relation to the idea of new de
partures and passive policies he said
be was opposed to all such innova
tions, the encouragement of which
bad already and would still tend to
the disorganization of the Democratic
party; that we wanted peace and
harmony, but not at the expense oi
principles; that the arguing in favor
of such principles was uncalled for;
that the Democratic party, three mil
lions strong, should be Passive, and
let a few discontented Republicans
take the lead, would be madness in
the extreme.
Thus the discourse closed. Ican
not depict in its proper colors the
merits of the speech, therefore, I have
only hinted at some of the most prom
inent points. .
Yours, with due respect,
JOHN T. CROOKS.
We were slightly in error last
week in stating that the Oreyonian of
the 5th inst. did not contain the item
announcing the defalcation of Collins,
Pension Agent. Subsequent dilligent
search has unearthed the item from
its hiding place in an obscure corner
on the fourth page of that paper,
where no more belonged than if it
had been injected into the middle of a
quack medical advertisement. How
ever, the principle involved is the same
as we originally asserted. It was ex
cluded from its legitimate place
among the dispatches and news items
for the purpose of. suppressing or
hiding damaging testimony against the
Oreyoniaris masters at Washington,
and that paper's palpable chagrin at
our discovery of its reprehensible
trick must sufficiently satisfy the pub
lic of its guilt in the matter.
0'Mea.ea says John Haileyis a bet
ter marksman than Pennoyer, be
cause when the former spit in bis face
be made a center shot and threw the
juice "plump sock" down his throat;
while Pennoyer in a sort of slobber
ing way, "gomed" his face all over. '
Singular, Very! -The Oreyonian,
in attempting to ' explain away our
charge that it suppressed the tolo
graphio dispatch alluding to tho de
falcation of Collins, Pension Agent of
tbe District of Columbia, ilouuders
out of tho scrape" in this way :
Tho item in question was made up
by tho editor under tho bend ot "Cou
densod Telegrams," for tho Oreyonian
of Monday, tho 5th inst. When tho
foreman came to make up the "lorms"
for the press, ho wanted an item of
three or lour lines to till out a col
umn in another part of the paper. As
it happened, he took this item for
that purpose.
Isn't it very singular, Uro. Scott,
thnt the foreman should clmnco to
fall npon that particular item to bo
cached away in an obscure corner of
the paper when thero wcro forty or
fifty other items of fur less importance
that could have as well been used ?
Probably ye foreman could a tale un
fold in regard to his orders from ye
chief in regard to ye item.
JiEAUTY at uoukt. uero is a
very unkind dig from Mrs. Duuiway's
Acic JVbrthtwt, aimed at tho wives of
two Radical Senators whom her hus
band assisted by his vote to elect; and
we venturo tho assertion that Mrs.
Duuiway's husband will next June
vote the straight Radical ticket and
thus again aid Senator Coibett and
his "beautiful" wife (whom Sister D.
affects to despise) in securing a scat
"at court." But hear her:
Mrs. Senator Williams and Mrs.
Senator Corbelt are announced by the
Jenkins' press as belles of the Capital.
It rejoiceth Oretron women exceed
ingly to hear of this, for these ladies
when at home, among their peers, are
considered very oruniany mortals.
We are proud to learn that average
Oregon women are such a social suc
cess in Washington as to stand before
tho public as champions of beauty
and intellectuality. Wonder what
the woi Id would say if some of our
brightest and most beautiful women
were to go t Court?
The Oreyonian sixm.ich-aches terri
bly because tho Herald "n:eddles im
pertinently" in the little till in which
the former paper and oursch' .avc
been engaged about the "suppression
of testimony" of Radical defalcations.
Now it is nothiug more thau right
that we should "double teams" on the
Custom House organ grimier, because
it takes one of us to watch his dark
tricks while the other "nails him to
the cat head" because f his general
cusedness. He's so i!i(pery that it
requires one of us to hoi I him by the
top knot while tho other administers
the castigation.
Civil Service reform is being earn"
estly advocated ami carried ii;to prac
tice by the Republican party. Jack
sonville Sentinel.
In view of the fact that over sixty
one millions of dollars have been sto
len by that party in the lat four
months, and the recent impeachment
or public disgrace of nine Republican
Governors for malfeasance in oflice,
this statement of the Sentinel, for
sublime impudence and ineffable
cheek, now bears off the palm. Par
tisan mend.icitv can no lariliur go.
Tils Herald and the Democrat
have got the Oreyonian iu a tight
place on that little "suppression" bus
ness, and now it cries out: "Two on
one Un't fair!" We would like to
know how in thunder we are going to
do anything with that slippery fellow
of the Oreyonian unless we surround
him and give him no chance to cut
and run for it? We'll twist him out
cf his hole with a forked stick and let
the Herald skin him and hang up the
bide.
The Wrestling Joe case at Portland
is settled by compromise. The es
tate, which is valued at $300,000, has
been divided among the claimants so
that "Wrestling Joe" and bis friends
receive $150,000, the party represen
ted by Messrs. A. C. Gibbs and Han
nah $100,000, and Messrs. I add and
Knott $50,000. Thus a case which
has attracted the attention of every
newspaper in the United States, and
which seemed as romantic as the pro
duction of any romancist, is proba
bly settled.
Governor Wood's veto of the Utah
admission bill excited greatly tho ire
of the Mormons. George Q. Can
non, member of the Territorial Coun
cil, said the ignorance of the veto
message was only equaled by its im
pudence. If he had a boy twelve
years old who could not write a bet
ter document, he would cuff bis ears.
A motion was finally made and car
ried that the veto should not be
spread upon the minutes.
