t)u the Tlh tf September, H"G, the

the return of Jaines A.Uarl'.eld toC'on
greta met in convention at Warren,
Ohio, and orgitnied. A coinmitlet on
reaolutious waa apoiutetl, which, after
mature consideration, submitted the
following, which was adopted :
AVuiv., That there is no man to
day olliciully connected with the admin
iatration of our national government
against whom are justly preferred more
or graver charges of corruption than
are publicly made and abundantly sus
tained against James A. Oariirld, the
present reproselitative of this Con
gressional district and the nominee of
the llrpiiLlii-an convention for re elec

HetiJveJ, That nine he first entered

Irrcsls of the iroli, that he has hwn

and charge hitu with corrupt bribery in
Helling bla official influence as Chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations to
the Vm Uolyer lavement U.ing, to aid
them in securing a contract from the
Hoard ol Public orks of the Uiatrict
of Columbia ; Helling his influence to

law, tijion the shallow pretext that he
was acting as a lawyer : selling bis in
fluence in a manner so pulpable and
and clear aa to be found and declared
by an impartial and competent Cgtirt
upon an issue solemnly tried.
l;olvJ, That we arraign him for
the fraudulent manner in which ho at
tempted, in his ?ecb, at Warren, on
on the 19th day of September, 1874, to
shield himself from just censure in re
ceiving the before-mentioned t'OQU,
by falsely reprpsepttpg tn said apeecu
thtit the Congress of the Uuited Htstes
was not responsible for the acts of said
lioard, nor the United States liable for
the debts created thereby, when in truth
and in fact, as he then well knew, the
said Board of Public Works and the
oiticere of said District were but the
agents and instruments of Congress,
and the United States was responsible
for the indebtedness by them created
Itfolved, That we arraign him for
gross dereliction of duty as a member
of Congress in failing to bring to light

JiesdveJ, That the law of 1873,
known as the act demonetizing silver,
was enacted in the interest of the gold
rings, bondholder and capitalists and
against the interest of the taxpayers
and without their advice or knowledge.
That this afct, by a single blow, lias se
rioualy crippled our power to resume

debt in coin. That no sufficient reason

There is probably no truth whatever
in the report that, in the event of the
Republicans controlling the next Con
gress, they will divide Rhodu I-dund
into eleven States in order to secure
twenty additional Senators and ten ad

The present son test is, at the bottom,
a fight for constitutional li,ber;ty as

WAMiuN'tJToft, Sept. 20, 1780.
Tho etui ol an unusually hot ami
dull summer nt tho Natlounl Capital
Cfimo with tho Iwglnnlng of Septem
ber, ami for onco tho calendar divi
sion of seasons seems to npply to u.
The nbsi'titoes are returning In droves
mid Washington begins to be Itself
again. Probably there in no city In
tho universe deserted by so largo a
proportion of lis population during the
summer months. Congress U gone
with all its employees uml uttachees,
uml the other departments of the gov
ernment run on about half their force.
One half remains while tho other
gort, thus dividing time between
them until nil have hud u holiday.
Of course these over-worked govern
ment clerks need a couple months rest.
They work as much as four or five
hours a day during the remainder of
the year, nomo of them nntl some of
them don't. It Is one of the campaign
cries of the radical party that the
Democratic Congress has crippled the
government by culling down the
force lit wmte of these tli puret units
and refusing to uppropri tie money
fr so many fat salaries. Hut It Is ull
bosli. I am pretty thoroughly ac
quainted with the workings of nil the
executive department-, and can slate
with a good deal of emphitlJcnostthat
in nearly every one of them tho force
Is Mill uunecet-sarlly I.irge, with nu
merous sinecure- bore uml there that
might well Imj dieused with. I
know one fourteen hundred dollar
clerk who says he in employed to lift
the puH-r weights from one position
to another on his desk, timl he is no
exception. There are many others
w hose wrvices are Just tiUjut ns ex
tensive. There may be one or twt
bureaus, In Home of the departments
where tho clerical force is none oo
large, or not large enough. but to meet
this home of the Idle ones should be
tr:itisf-rretl from other bureaus of the
same department.
Rut If iiuylhing proves tlnu we
have a greit many more oillcials in
our civil M-rvh'o than thero is any
need of, I: is tho .pec(ai-le now pre
sented nil over the country of thous-
uikIs of salaried olllcors of tho govern
ment from thir ikisis Mini ilu voting
tin- linn- for which tho K-oplo pay
them to campaign work for the rad
ical purly. It is est imuleil that the
Hgicgult- s ibtrliM of the ofm-lals thus
engaged amount to over three mil
lion dollars. Cabinet ministers, heads
of Imreuin, chiefs of d 'psrt moots, for
eign ministers, collectors of revenue,
district attoruics, marshals ami olll-
ciuls of nil kinds an thus employed,
while the business of the government
Is neglected. If there Is anv ne?d of
all the"? oltlcers they should be at
their posts attending to the duties for
which they nre so liberally paid, but
if they have no duties demanding
their attention, their plliom should
Is? vacated. The people at large
know very In lie cenrVrning the ex
tent tn which the abuse is curried, and
that, us), under an administration
which started out with such extraor
dinary professions, of n "pure" civil
service.
Since the Maine election thero has
been a marked change in the demean
or of the oluco holding Republicans
about Washingson. For the past two
or three months tho general bearing
of a numerous class of Republicans,
towards Democrats, has been charac
terized by a contemptuous iu sole nee,
a haughty, domineering, masterful
tone, imKtssibe of description and
not easily endured. puoli terms 83
"rebel" and copperhead" have been
their staple of talk, and at the time
c( the grand Democratic ratiiication
meeting here, three weeks ago, one
of them sneeringly said to rue that
the largo Illuminated letters U. S.
over the platform should" he taken
down and C. S. A. put up. I did not
answer him. I felt certain that his
day, ami tho day for that sort of talk
was about, done; that In the triumph
ant election of Hancock insolence and
bigotry would be silenced. Already
thesu fellows begin to read the hand
writing on the wall, and their man
ner Is perceptibly modified. For men
who never saw a line of batlla or did
anything but curse rebels at a 1,000
mllo range, while sneaking behind a
fat salary to question tho loyalty of
Democrats who proved their patriot
ism on the field, and to sneer at the
supporters of General Hancock Is most
too much.
This class of Republicans have a
way of assuming that this country
belongs to them, and that the Repub
lican party is the government
Their organ in this city speaks of the
departments as "the Republican suit
9istence chest," and refers to a-score
of Democratic clerks as being "fed
from, tho Republican crib." A stray
Democrat holdinf a position In any
department is the target of .abuse in
tho local press and the subject of dis
cussion and resolution in the club
meetings abut town. He is charged
with "filching money from the Re
publican party." It Is about time
this sort of drivel was dried up. The
election of Hancock will bring these
men to realize that the Republican
party doesn't own this government ;
that It Is a "Nation with a big N," a
government of the cople, and every
citizen, I'euiocrai, itepublloin or
(Jreenbacker, is a part and parcel of
it, and has the Kame rights under It.
They will find out that the Treasury
Department and every other depart
partment belongs to the people and
lis use Is the transaction of public
business. Another idea or some
of these fellows Is that John Sher
man and the Republican party
caused tho commerce of the country
to exist and the crop to grow. There
are some men who actually think that
but for John Sherman and their party
no wheat or corn could have been
grown this year, "What infernal
nonsense," Is about all the answer one
feels like making to such drivel as
this.
The Congressional Campaign Com
mittees are hard at work with a large
force of clerks sending off documents
to every suite, ami several large print
ing entabliahinent are running night
ami day turning them off. The Re
publican Committee nre saving post
age by illegally franking piles of doc
uments. The city post offlco was
obliged to refuse to send them, for
fear of the law, and now the commit
tee carts them out lo the smalt offices
in neighboring towns, from whence
they go. AH reports received at Dem
ocratic headquarters are of the mot
cheering kintl, and since the Maine
Waterloo there Is great depression
among Republican clerks. Rut they
should not be utterly cast down. The
walking will be pretty good by the
middle of March, probably.

It Is true that General Garfield him
self devised, suggested and prepared
the perjured lestimony upon which
the Returning lioard of I-oulsiuna
threw out the real return of the
election in the p.trlsh of West Felic
iana, ami thereby figured up a major
ity for Hayes in the state, whereas,
a iriHjority ,f the people had voted
for Tttden. This Garfield did Ip the
way which Mr. Hendricks sets forth
from Oartleld's own testimony, and
this same (Jarlleld Is now the Repub
lican candidate for president.
It Is also true that in liLs place in
tho House of Representatives, Gen.
(iarflehl resisted the passage of the
t.Iectoral Bill, declaring It to be his
conviction that if that Rill bhould
pass the Klectoral Commission would
lie required by the provisions of the
Hilt to go behind the returns and as
certain what votes had already been
cast by the iieuple; and yet as a mem-
lM-r of the commission, after he bad
taken an oath to examine and consid
er all questi;ns and render a ttue
judgment, he refused to go behind
the returns, ami held that the people
were concluded by forged certificates
cemfylcg to nothing but falsehood.
That thesu propositions; and others
incident to them are absolutely and
tuny established by uarneid s own
sworn evidence Is demonstrated In
Mr. Heud rick's speech.

In a speech at BellviHe, Illinois
ex-Senaror Lyman Trumbull, candl
date for governor on the DemocrtH:
ticket, in re fat ion to the Republican
claim that that party won the battles
of the Union, remarked: "Rut I have
not clone with this false claim of the
Republican party. I propose to-day
to bury It so deep with facts and fig
ures that only the dupes of dema
gogues can longer lx lieguiled by it.
The Democratic State of Missouri
alone. In which Mr. Lincoln received
but 17,028 votes In 1S0, furnished
i!,ni men to the caloti army a
greater number than was furnished
by alt the Itepubltcnn states of Ver
mont, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Ne
braska ami Kansas put together.
Neither Michigan, Wisconsin or Iowa
furnished &i many troops to the Un
ion as Missouri. John A. Dtx and
Dauiel S. Dickinson, of New York,
Lewis Carr.of Michigan, and Stephen
A. Douglas, of this State, all life-long
Democrats and leaders of the party,
the moment Fort Sumter was fired
upon, came out in public speeches for
the Union."
Following up this representation of
the facts in the case.ex-Senator Trum
bull made this strong point : In I860
Mr. Lincoln received a total vote of
1,806,322, and there were enlisted
during tho war 2,678,967 volunteers.
If the Republicans alone suppressed
the rebellion, somebody ought to ex
plain how 1,800,322 voters supplied
2,679,907 men of military age.

General Weaver, the Republican
who is paid by the Garfield managers
to stand as Greenbacker candidate for
President to lure voters from the sop
part of Hancock and EogliL, -nw
sets up the claim that the victor, fn
Maine is a triumph for himself and
hlscani?. General Weaver knows
that this is a false claim.- He went
to Maine under the pay of the Repub
lican managers to make speeches and
use hii influence against the Fusion,
against Governor PlaUted, and in fa
vor of the Republicans and Governor
Davis. General Weaver is enacting
the bat which fought with the beast,
and. now, when the victory 13 wHh
the eagles, endeavors to play himself
for a bird. He is, nevertheless, a bat,
and henceforth he will he shunned
and contemned by both birds and
beasts alike, and left to flit by night
and feast on the vermin which dare
not venture in the light of dayr ex
actly as his nature and his place itv
the political kingdom qualify hira.
The victory in Maine was won ia spite
of his efforts to- the contrary. S. F .
