WILL ADJOVRX.
Congress is about to adjourn, after a
long bcssion of many months, having
done what ? The House, under con
trol of the Democratic majority, has
passed the time in expending the peo
ple's money to the tune of hundreds of
thousands of dollars investigating Re
publicans and whitewashing Democrats,
aiming thus to create sentiment for the
Presidential canvass, while the Senate
has been compelled to sit still and wait
for the Ilouse to get through with its
political maneuvering and go about the
business for which its members were
elected. This Democratic House, to
prove to the people ot the United
States that tlicy intended to carry out
the pledges of retrenchment and re
form promised by them on the hustings.
and which secured their election, have
.ot scrupled to spend hundreds of thou
anda " investigating " Republicans, or
to smother the "investigations' of
Democrats. And whenever an inves
tigation promised to reveal more ot
Democratic thievery and rascality than
.... . .
riepuoncan, that investigation was
smothered inslanter. "While this Dem
ocratic Ilouse has found fault with
every branch of the Government under
Republican rule the army, Indian
policy, larin, etc. aud rent the air
with denunciations and ravings, they
Bare in no single instance ottered a
remedy for ny of the " gigantic evils'
complained of. This is a concise but
truthful statement of the " labor " per
formed by this " reform " House ot
Representatives, representing the Demo
cratic party. The Democratic party
has been given a chance, and has shown
its Land ia the House.
RECORDS CONTRASTED.
The members of tbe Ilouse cf Rep
resentatives, in 1866, raised their sala
ries from $3,000 to 5,000, by tacking
it on to the Soldiet's Bourty Bill. This
was called the " back pay grab," and
Democratic journals assert that it was
"sneaked through on the popularity of,
and the gratitude to, the soldiers."
Rutherford B. Hayes, it is asserted by
- these same Democratic journals, was a
member of the House of 1866, and vot
ed tor this ?' sneaking" back pay. Ruth
erford B. ITayes did not vote for this
back pay but voted against it ia all its
various stages. In proof of our asser
tion we Tefer the reader to the Congrw
ttonal Globe of 1866, part 5th, pages
4,258 and 4,288. On the other hand
Thomas A. Hendricks, Democratic can
didate for the Vice Presidency, did
vote for the 'back pay, and took it.
As proof that Thomas A. Hendricks
worked and voted tor -this back pay
grab in the Senate cf the United Stales,
the reader is referred to the Congres
sional Globe ot 1866, part 5th, page
4,145. This "reformer," Thomas A.
Hendricks, helped to engineer the sala
ry steal of 1866, which was, according
to Democratic . journals, " sneaked
through on the popularity of, and the
public gratitude to, soldiers, Aw Ru
therford B. Hayes was, a member of
tbe House of 1866, Democratic journ
. als supposed they had at last struck a
bonanza, and at once, without, appa
rently, consulting the records, rushed to
the conclusion that his professions of
honesty and reform were no better than
those of Hendricks, now , their V re
former" par ' cxceUeixse, and charged
bim ' with voting for the salary steal
A the records show that Rutherford
B. Hayes . voted against the salary
steal, and that the then Senator, Thom
as Ai Hendricks, voted for it, it ' will
be In order for Democratic journal to
assert of him, as they did of Mr. nayes,
m we consider this action of Thomas A.

DEMOCRA TtO PROMISES.
It brilliant promises were all that the ;
people required, Democracy might hope
for reinstatement in public favor ( but
promises amount to nothing unlet they
come from a source entitled to credit and
respect. Democracy ia entitled to neith
er. It held power and abused it. It
held sacred trust and betrayed it. Its
part record is bad; its present move
ments are suspicious; its associations
for the past fifteen years have been dam
aging, and its whole course, from the
uprising of the people against it in 1860
to the present time has been such ax to
shake public confidence in its patriotism
and integrity Threfbre, promises can
not save it. The people kj'ow what it
has done in the past, and will be care
ful never to trust it again.
CHARGES AGAIXST HENDRICKS.
The ITerakPs Washington special
says charges brought against Hendricks
iu a Western paper, of being concerned
as attorney or agent in lobbying a war
claim through the War Department,
and when unsuccessful there, in the Sen
ate while he was a Senator, at'racts at
teution here, as it w founded on his let
ters aud on evidence in the department
and Senate. It is believed by some per
sons so serious as, perhaps, to cause the
withdrawal of Hendricks from the Dera
ecratic ticket, as Orth was recently with
drawn from the Republican ticket, ami
curiously enough, for a similar reason.
There are Demi cratu who would not
regard it as a great misfortune it Hen
dricks should be competed to withdraw
BIRTH
AXD PA RE XT AGE
HAYES.
OF
Rutherford Birchard ITayes was born
in Delaware, Ohio, October 4, 1822.
II is parents, Rutherford Hayes -and
Sophia Birchard, were natives ot Wind
ham county, Vermont, and emigrated to
Ohio in 1SI7. His first American an
cestor of the name ot Hayes was George
Hayes, a Scotchman, who settled in
Windsor; Connecticut, about 16S0
His mother was descended from John
Birchard, who came over with his fath
er's fami'y from England in 1635, aud
became one of the principal proprietors
and settlers ot Norwich, Connecticut.
Three of his ancestors, Daniel Austin,
Israel Smith, and Ellas Birchard, were
members of the Revolutionary Army,
the latter dying during hid 'term of I
service.
VIGILANCE REQUIRED.
TLe Nomination ot Tilden and Hen-
cricKs rowans an earnest enort on the
part of Democracy to win the Presiden
tial race, if money can purchase votes
enough to help it. Tilden la an old
bachelor, a fact that ought to secure his
defeat and will, if the women have any
influence in the campaign. Rich, and
one of the most unprincipled politicians
in the country. "Success, by fair means
or foul," is his motto, and unless closely
watched his Iriends will repeat his old
game of cheating at the polls. New
York ought to be good tor 50,000 Re
publican majority, and a well organized
canvass of the city of New York and
vigilance on the day of electian will se
. , , . " .
cure it. Tiideu's money must not be
permitted to defraud ns out of the
honest vote of the Empire State.
A correspondent of the Cleveland
. - . , . . i
Plaindealer gives the following sketch
of the Republican candidate for Vice
President : "Mr. Wheeler is a large,
powerfully built man, standing very
erect when speaking. His hair is grow
ing; verv erray. It is always emlied
with scrupulous care; alway thrown
back from a high square forehead, tin
der whose heavy brws there are very
observant eyes He wears no mustache:
the jaws are as squat e as theoiuiiuesot
the forehead, aud the whole race is ex-
pressive of earnest thought, wheu in
repose, but I have seen it soften and
brighten, when some friend has accost
ed trim, till Mr. Wheeler grew- really
handsome. The death of hi wire last
winter was a sad loss; one that he will
teel keenly now, when he thinks how
she would have rejoiced in hi honor.
She was a noble woman, dear'y loved
by all ho knew her."

The bill introduced by - Bontwell on

HEXDRICES THE REFORMER.
It would seem f rum a telegram of
the 8th iust., that Gov, Hendricks will
be given a chance to 'riend explain."
From the tenor of the telegram it seems
likely that the Ilouse Democratic smell
ing committees were engaged in a one
sided business entirely, when nosi..g
around after Republican delinquents.
It is just possible that the great " re
former," Hendricks, mav be compelled
to step "down and out" bt the Demo
cratic candidacy for Vice Presidency.
We begin to feel real sorry for the two
"main pillars" ot the reform Democrat
ic party ! It the "leaders" are so cor
rupt and rotten, what on earth is to be
come of the party?

As a " policy ' paper, Tilden's letter
ot acceptance is very fair indeed, as
from it the adroit politician can prove
that he is in favor of, or oppod to,
any of the issues pen ling in the pres
ent campaign. It has been well said
that Tilden is au "old fox." and it may
be as truthfully added, "just as worthy
of trust."
