Mr3. Mary A. Ford, 'Una,' the

'Men of Itutli,' and 'God Pity the

We have taken the position that
if Col. Pool could not satisfactori-

unds entrusted to him we would
no longer listen to his pleadings.
Dr. Sears has written a letter state-
ins that Col. Pool did not satisfac
torily account to him for a thousand
dollars of the Peabody Fund and
hence we say he has been guilty of
bad faith, reprehensibly so, and
can no longer be supported by
democrats. They do not conceal
short comminr's in any member of
the party.

A Tall Tale Steep of Credulity.
A dog in Kentucky having mani
fested symptoms of hydrophobia
was shot by Jud?e Wickliffe
The dogs on the place immediately
collected to prepare for a funeral
"Old Bull," the largest and fiercest
dog, took the body of the dead
spaniel in his mouth and started
for the woods. The other dogs
followed in procession. There the
dog-sexton dug a grave at the foot
of a tree and deposited the body,
and the other dogs joined in
covering the remains with earth.
The mourners then united in howl
ing for fifteen minutes, when . they
dispersed. This almost incredible
story is substantiated by several
persons ef high standing, some of
whom are ladies of the family in
which the incident occurred.

The Mayor of San Francisco has
has issued a proclamation to the
Chinamen there in the Chinese
language. J.fter promising them fre-
dom from riotous attack, he proceeds
to tell them why their presence is
obnoxious. Many of them belong to
the vicious and criminal classes; mas
ny of them live by gambling; all of
them subject themselves to a species
of slavery; nearly all of their women
are lewd, their quarters are foul;
and they live in disregard of the
health regulations of the city. The
Mayor elaborates these points in his
Chinese proclamation to the San
Francisco Chinamen. He warns
them that heieafter the laws wil
be enforced against their illega'
practices, their gambling habits,
their lewd women, and their pesti
ferous residences. This is the
prorer thing to do. There will be
no objection to such a policy any

The Southern correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes :
'I claim some familiarity with
Southern politics. I verily believe
that in this State, for instance
(Tennessee), Bristow would get
from 7,000 to 10,000 more white
votes than Morton. The old Whigs ,
and Union men, who are now prin-
pn
cipally in
the
Dern
ocratic partv.
would vote for
Bristow in l.irrro
numbers. Here is a goldjn op
portunity to incorporate white ma
terial into tho Republican party in
the South, which, above all things,
it needs. Bristow can carry iNcrth
Carolina, Florida and Alabama,
and Morton c&nnet. Bristow can
reduce the Democratic majority in
this State from 48,000 to 30,000.
He has positive strength in the
South beyond any man who has
been named for the race.'
This correspondent is not well
nformed. There is no danger that
either Bristow or Morton will get
the electoral vote of any Southern
State except South Carolina.

CLAPP, TUB PUBLIC PBINTEB.
The Clapps, father and son, have
been running the Public Printing
Establishment here for some years,
and have made a good thing of it.
They have emerged from poverty
and obscurity into affinence ; and now
as Mrs. General Gilflory, in the play
of " The Mighty Dollar," would say,
they move among tho"tong" of Wash
ington. JLho marriage ot a aaugn-
ter, which was celebrated about six
or eight months ago, was the occa
sion of more costly pomp and vulgar
display than are usual en such oc
casions, even among rich parvenus,
The "presents" were of extravagant
value, and the dressing was simply
"stnnning.'' It begar3 all description
An investigation into the manage
ment of the concern reveals the source
of the wealth of the Clapps. Clapp,
Sr., was first 'before the Committee,
and quibbled and quibbled until an
inspection of his books was had,
which revealed all that was necessary
to prove the Printing Department
the most expensive, worst managed
altair vat discovered, it remained
for Clapp, Jr., ("Harry" they call him
to put the clincher on the whole mat
ter. When confronted with the enor
mous deficit. "Harry" very graceful"
ly acknowledged the "soft impeach
ment," and said ho didn't know what
they, and the old man, could do, ex
cept make up the deficiency out of
their private pockets. It wa3 very
kind in "Harry" to propose to easy a
solution of the difficulty, and his read
iness to draw his check may some
what enlighten the public as to the
true amount which has been "extract
ed," (stolen is somewhat harsh,) and
which the committee has not yet dis
covered.
A DISGCSTED LOBBYIST.
That the present Democratic House
of Representatives is less susceptible
to the subtle influence of the lobbjists
than its piedecessor i3 evinced by
the fact that the number of this class
ia much smaller than it has been for
years. Wrhen the session opened
they were here in full force ; but the
majority of them have been fright
ened off by ,tho scandalous develop
ments of the numerous investigations
begun and continued under the au
spices of the Democratic House.
Those who remain, hoping to pick up
a few crumbs beforeCongress adjourns,
lack the sleek, complacent and self
satisfied air of the professional lobby
ist, and seem quite despondent over
the prospect. A disreputable news
paper man, notorious for his connec
tion with the Credit Mobiler and Pa
cific mail scandals, and various other
corrupt sehemes bofore former Con
gress, and who has ''feathered his
nest" from them, said, the other day,
in my hearing :
"Damn such a Congress? There's
do money in it I've tried, all winter,
to get into some little job where I
could make a strike ; but it's no use.
The men who have jobs are afraid to
push them, for fear of an exposure
by a House Investigating Committe.
Give me a Republican Congress, like
the five or six proceeding ones. Damn
this parsimonious Democratic House!
I can't take a trick."
Again, this morning, a well known
Washington gambler said to me :
"I never before saw the time when
so many members of Congress refus
ed to eat my dinners, drink my wine,
smoke my cigars, and play faro ; but
the d d Democratic galoot3 of the
present House won't come near my
place."
Ihe reader will judge whether
the statements are derogatory to the
moral character of the Democratic
ir i c .i .
iiiomuura oi ma present Jongres3, or
otherwise.
ECONOMY OF DEMOCRATIC RULE.
The speech at the Annual Dinner
of the New York Chamber of Com
merce, last week, developed an inter
esting and important point in favor
of Democratic Administration in gen
eral, and Gov. Tilden's in particular,
in the fact that, since Tilden has been
Governor of New York, (about six
teen months) the State tax has been
reduced one half ; in round numbers,
from $16,0G0,000, in '74, to $8,000,
000, in '76, a saving of 8,000,000,
to the tax-payers. Contrast that with
Republican rule. Under Grant's ad
ministration, the expense of running
the Government has about doubled.
Could there be any stronger argu
ment with the people ia favor of a
Democratic President ?
REDUCTION AND ANTIxREDUCTION IS
SUE JOINED.
The other day, ia the House, upon
the ca committees for reports,
Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, made
a report from the Committee on Ap
propriations, non-concurring in the
One Hundred and Forty-two amend
ments of the Senate on the Diplomat
ic, Judiciary and Executive Appro
priation Bills. Tho speaker asked if
tho committae desired a Committee of
Conference, and the reply was a de
cided Aro. This brings thincr3 to a
foens on the question of reduction in
public expeditures. Think of it?
One Hundred and Forty-two amend
ments racked on the bill by the Sen
ate, and every one increasing the esti
mates as sent from the House. The
Democratic House may rest content.
It has done its duty iu the premises ;
has endeavored, to the utmost of its
ability, to lighten the burdens of
Government, which havecomo to bear
so oppressly upon the people. If the
Republican Senate should force the
House Appropriation Committee to a
conference and a compromise, tho
odium would bo on the Senate ; and
every Democratic and Independent
newspaper in the land, should see to
it that the country is fully informed
ia what manner tho patriotic designs
of the Democracy have been balked,
that each may cast the blamo on the
Republican Senate, where it belong s.
THE UNIVERSAL DEPRESSION
in business still continuos, and no
prophet can tell U3 when it will give
way to euterpriso and prosperity.
Each day records new failures, and
some of thorn of factories', which
throw large numbers of working ppo-
ple out of employment. Farm lands
can be had cheaper than at any pe
riod since tho groat panic of 1873 ;
in fact, whon put up at forced sales
in this vicinity, they literally bring
nothing. Iy our financial system,
the money of tho country has all got
into tho hands of non-producers;
while thoso who are willing to work
lack capital. We are told money is
plentiful and interest low ; but there
is a want of confidence which kills
enterprise, and it will continue until
Grant leaves the White llcuse nest
March, come what may. In the
mean time, tho people will have to
subsist on past accumulations, as
bears do in winter on their own fat,
while Grant revels on 30,000 a year
