Itying; Hard.
The Republican party is dying
hard. It hud flattered itself into
the belief, that with the stringent
party legislation of Congress in its
favor, ami with its more than a
million of ignorant ami prejudiced
ncjrro votes at its buck, it was so
euro from being ousted by any
effort on the part cf the people
against it, however wide-spread
and universal. But it is awakening
from its delusive day-dream to
find that its feet are on the sand,
and the sand fast crumbling away.
It-is finding that the great popular
movement for an honest adminis
tration of .government is assuming
such gigantic strength and propor
tions as threaten to sweep it from
place and power, despite all of its
infernal party legislation and
ignorant nero voting allies. It
hears the first premonitions of its
doom in every part of the land,
and to avert it, it is using the most
extraordinary exertions. Xo felon
ever struggled harder to overcome
G the constabulary force sent to pro
cure his arrest, than does the Rad
ical party to overcome and beat
back the tide of popular opinion
which threatens to submerge it.
O To do this, it pays seventy-five
thousand dollars of the people's
money for forged documents, which
have the sole tendency to tear
apart the healing wounds of war;
it squanders the public revenue in
pay for part' services; it issues
false statements from the Treasury
Department, calculated to mislead
the people: it appeals to the lowest

To Intl to Swindles.
Grant's Administration will go
down to posterity stamped with,
the infamy of a notoriety chiefly
for the swindling which was per
petrated, either by its negligence
or assent. From the very day
Grant took his seat as President of
the United States, there has been
concocted innumerble schemes for
enriching the President, his rela
tives and hangers-on, and the
rings which according to Sumner,
surrounded the President, as plain
Iv as the luminous rings environ
the planet Saturn. There was the
San Domingo job, gotten up by a
ring of which Grant was a partner,
and which, aftr having secured all
the most available sites on "the
island," as Grant termed San Do
mingo, desired its purchase by the
Government of the United States,
really so that they might be made
rich, but ostensibly, as Grant
gravely told the people in one of
his formal messages, that we might
more easily pay off the National
debt by selling yams and banannas.
Then there was the Chorpenning
fraud, connived at by the Depart
mcntSjbut exposed before Cong: ess,
by which another ring intended to
capture a round half million of dol
lars. Next was the Grunt-Leet
General Order Swindle on the
merchants of New York and the
general business of the country, by
which over a million of dollars has
been pocketed by the ring of which
Grant was and is still a silent part
ner. Then there was the Black
Friday Gold ring, by which Fisk,
Gould, Corbin and Grant made
millions of money, but by which
thousands of honest men were
made poor. Time and space would
both fail us if we attempted a full
enumeration of all the swindles
perpetrated under the Grant Ad
ministration, and we therefore puss
all others by for the purpose of!
alluding to one which lias recently j
been unearthed. Last March., Sen- j
ator Morrill, of Vermont, read to J
the Senate a private and "conti-i
dentitd" circular, issued by leading
railroad officials to the several rail
road companies of the United
States, for the purpose of exacting
higher rates for carrying the United j
States mails, from which circular '
we make the following extract:
Tlu
to eto-c
t the passage
of an
act, increasing the present compensation,
without regard to existing contracts, fifty
per cent. It is thought it will require
thirty-three and one-third per cent, of the
increase for one year, three: and one-third
per cen of which is to be advanced to
meet the contingent expenses, and the
balance to be paid when the act becomes
a law.

Morrill asserted, "would amount to

The Outlook in Oregon.
Sixty days ago the Radicals
claimed Oregon to be good for
about one thousand for Grant in
November, which claim Democrats
generally conceded. Now all this
is changed. The Radicals are
mentally reducing the figures of
their hoped-for majority, while
Democrats claim the State as sure
for Greeley. And their claim we
believe to be a good one. The
great masses of the Democratic
party in this state will go for Gree
ley, while their ranks are being
swelled in every section, county
and precinct of the State, by more
or less of Liberal Republicans
There may be a few Democrats in
Oregon who will not vote for
Greeley, but there is not one within
the State lines that will vote for
Grant. And the places of those
not voting will be filled twice over
by Liberal Republicans. Besides
this, all over the State, there ap
pears to be a general uprising of
the laboring classes in favor of
Greeley. We consider Oregon
good for eight hundred majority
for Greelev in November.
The liooks Out of I5a!ancc.
If there is anj p'a;-e where a book-keeper
is wanted, it is in the treasury depart
ment at Washington. It is the custom of
must book keepers for private mercantile
houses to balance the cash accounts to a
cent every day. Jf any discrepancy cx
isls. to hunt over (ill it is found, ami cor
rect tt. lint in Washington, under Re
publican administration, such a little
thing as an ai F htnetica! agreement among
different financial and accounting officers
is not considered at all important. One
would suppose that it would be very easy
to tell to a cent the amount of collections
from internal revenue from September 1.
