WHAT THX I'RKHHNT HOUSE Or BEI-RICKK.V
--%5 . TATirrs HAH D'.HE.
/■or <Ae flood of the. Country and the
profit of the People,.
Baltimore Gazette.
What ban the present House of Rep
resentatives done for the country ? The
organ* of the administration which are
editeJ by the government advertising ;
the ring republican politicians who have
not yet been locked up in the peuiteiitia
riea; the conventions of office holders
whose only purpose in life is to keep
their hold iipen the public treasury, and
one or two newspapers like the New
York Tribaile, which are on the fence,
with one leg down oh the Republican
aide, : oletniily assure us that it has done
nothing. They toll ns that the hoose
has forfeited public confidence, and
proved by its deeds that the majority in
it ought at the next election to be swept
away, and the benches it occupies filled
by men “who were true to the country
iu its hour of perit,” and who when the
hour of peril passed, robbed it upon the
right hand and the left; who turued
every one of its departments into a deu
of infamy ; used its highest offices for
the purpose of making money ; plunged
the whole country into financial panic,
from which it has riot yet recovered ;
turned by its vioioua legislation millions
of men into the streets to beg ; filled the
workhouses and jails, and brought dis
grace and shame upon republican insti
tutions at homo and abroad. The men
who did all this, so-called independent
journals like the Tribune are asking the
country to again place in power Tuul give
to them again the opportunity to oontiuue
their work of destruction and drag the
nation to still lower depths of financial
and political ruin. Let 11s see what the
present house lias and has not done :
Find, It has not elected a speaker like
Behuyh r Oolfax, who used his high of
fice to enrich himself ; who was bribed
and trought by every band of adventu
rers and swind’ers who came t > Wash
ington during his term of offloa ; who
was caught in the cradit-mobiliar iniqui
ty ; who was detected in stationary
frauds iu the House and exposed as a
broker, receiving regular commissions
kou a New York paper establishment.
It has uot elected a speaker like James
0. Blaine, who used bis position to iu
filienee legislation in favor of railroud
subsidies ; who looted as the agent of a
fire-arms company j who sold rulings
and legislation for so much cash down iu
the shape of railroad Ironds.
Second. Since it met lust December il
hss not been devising ways and means,
day after day, to get money out of the
treasury. On the contrary, it has cut
down the extravagant estimates of the
departments, and if the senate will pass
its bills has reduced the running expenses
of the government nearly forty millions
of dollars per aunum. Instead of ma
kiug places for the creatures of the ad
mi .istration, creating offleca for men to
live in idleness at the expense of the
surely-taxed people, it has abolished ov
ary offle i that was uot absolutely neces
sary, and, so fur os it could do so, stop
ped the leaks iu the public treasury.
Third. It is uot legislated a freed
mau’s bank into existence and plasm! it
iu tlie puiver of a lot of men to steal the
earnings »ud savings of the poor colored
men ofthe south amounting to millious
of dollars. On the contrary, it has ta
ken the robbers amt swindlers who did
that iufain us work by the throat, ex
posed their rascality and directed the
officers ot the government to send their
names before the grsud juries.
Fourth. It has gone into President j
Grant's cabinet and dragged out of it. one j
of his trusted advisers, who abused his ■
high plseo: who robbed the dead vote- i
raus of the war ; who aided ill cheating ,
the living soldiers on the p'ains ; who !
demanded money for every appointment 1
he made, sad brought him to trial for i
his many crimes !
Fifth. It has shown how the funds of j
the so-called department of justice have |
been u rd for the purpose of controlling ;
elections in the South and in the North ;
how the President put his hand iuto the
public treasury and took out money to
aid in his own re-election. It has ex
posed the villainy o' Williams, the ras
cality ol Davenport aud the geueral cor
mptiuu of that entire branch of the pub
lic service.
Sixth. It has stretched its hand acr- as
the water to Ijoudou and saved tlie honor
g the country tiy collaring the minister
at*d embassador extraordinary, who was
Hsing his influence as our representative
to "trail" a worth less mining stock nud
rob the English people. It compelled
the President to accept his resignation
and send Robert C. Solienk into au ob
scurity from which he will never again
come.
Seventh. It has shattered the District
of Columbia r ng into a thousand atoms;
indicted Babcock for complicity with
safe burglars; made Harrington a fugi
tive from justice, and exposed the rot
tenness and corruptiou of the present
commissioner*.
Eighth. It has instituted a rigid scru
tiny into the management of the navy
department, exposed the corrupt opera
tions of the Cat tells and other plunderers,
and before the investigation closes will
expose whatever is rotten aud corrupt in
the ssrrics
Ninth, It has laid bare the sir iw-bid
j system iu the port office department, and
piovcd that the country has been annu
ally robbed of hundreds of thousands of
dollars for carrying letters which were
never written over routes that never hail
an existence.
Tenth. It has exposed the infamies of
the Indian ring, s howu ho‘> the Indians
nre driven oil the war patli that army
j contractors may be enriched and the
! treasury bled.
Eleventh. It has substituted silver tor
the wretched fractional currency as a
step toward specie payment; matured a
tariff hill which, if the Senate won!
agree to it, would do more to start our
idle mills and furnaces and factories, and
restore prosperi y to all classes than any
measure which can be devised. It has
taken the control of our Indian affairs
out of the hands of the thieves who had
charge of thcra.so long and plac <1 them
where they belong, ia the war depart
ment. It has reorganized the army and
closed a thousand avenues of fraud and
corruption in every department.
Twelfth. It lias taken Jas. G. Blaine,
the speaker ol the last Congress, the
foremost corruptionist of the legislative
department of the government, and the
leading republican candidate for the
presidency, ami proven him to ho a lob
byist, a trafficker in legislation, the assiß
ciate and business partner of men who
have been growing rich at the expense of
the people.
These are some of the rascalities and
acts of corruption the present House lias
exposed ; the reforms it has instituted ;
the hail men it has punished ; tlie great
services it has performed for the coun
try. Done nothing ? No House for a
quarter of a century has done one-tenth
as much cr deserves better at the hands
of the people.

stated that tho next business in order

of a State Convention, to nominate a
candidate for Governor, and choose
Presidential Electors, and slated os a
matter of personal delieaey, he would re
tire from the deliberations of the Com
mittee on this question, and not partici
pate or preside on its settlement.
Cols. Fielder and Akin, and Judge

j THE INDISPENSABLE STATES
i Under this heading a Wa bington
j correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
; writes:
t New York, New Jersey and New En -
gland are not essential to the election of
a Weetern Dee ocrat to the Presidency.
This cun lie demonstrated with an ease
I that should startle the shallow brained
idiots who are claiming that New York
j is essential to success.
, Against a Blaine or a Conkling, Wil
| liam Allen or Governor Hendricks cau
carry Indiana and Ohio in October, and
with this prestige, they either can carry
tlie following States in November :
Ohio 22 i Indiana 15
I leleware 91 Maryland 8
Virginia .11 West Virginia 5
North Carolina.. 10 Georgia 14
j Florida 4 Alabama 10
Mississippi 8 Louisiana 8
; Kentucky .12 Tennessee 13
Missouri 15 Arkansas 9
! Texas 8 Wisconsin 10
i Illinois 2J
I Total 200
This leaves hard-money California,
i Oregon, New Jersey, “indespensible”
i New York, all the New Eugland States
] and Pennsylvania to vote for a man of
' tl.eir own choice on a Republican finan
cial plaform, which means the enforce
ment act and death to Western interests
and Western debtors.
A great many Southern statesmen
have gotten the idea into tlnir heads
1 that, the Democracy of this country can
not bo run without New York. It can !
j and the sooner tlie South finds this out
, the better it will be for the great pro
during sections of the country. Tlie
I suffering of this conntry is owing to the
I fact that, there has been too much New
England und New York in our financial
legislation. They have had their day.
The West want to run this country for a
few years, and is going to do it, or she
is going to rebel against the party that
attempts to bind her four years longer
iu financial slavery to the East. Tlie
politicians may go on scheming, but the
people will do their own thinking, and
the voting in November will lay out
the former.
