lms en ioved undisputed dominion
for more than ten years, and at
this time it not onlj has the Presi
dent of its choice but a heavy ma
jority in both houses of Congress.
It should therefore be held strictly
accountable for the present mate-
rial state of the country.
Now what is the condition of the
nation, materially and politically,
uuuii ucuuianu vuuuvi - v i
finance ot the country is recognized
to be in a deplorable state. Busi
ness is stagnant, enterprise is crip
pled, banks have lost the confidence
of the people, numerous failures of
old well established business houses
have occurred, and altogether the
picture is sad and deplorable. Now
that this is due to a great extent to
unwise legislation is a fact that can
be substantiated, and hence the
Republican party is responsible -
, . , . . .. .,
lor ttie inundations ot tne ooutn
west, by its want o attention to
this district and its failure to make
the proper appropriations. The
unjust discriminations too in taxa
tion, by which the commodities of
certain sections have been greatly
oppressed, have had a great effect
upon material prosperity. If we
leave the national Congress and go
to those states where Republican-
ism has had full sway,we find, with
out an exception, a most deplorable
state of affairs, people burdened
with oppressive taxation and
shameless pecculation, real estate
commanding barely half its price
thirteen years ago, and business of
all kinds dull. It is rare that we
find two things always concomitant
without the relation of cause and
effect, and hence we are iustified in
attributing to the Republican par-
ty a condition of things that seems
to be inseparable with is rule.
If we r,ass from the material to
the. m;tinn tha cam
ruin awaits us and calla loudly for
the overthrow ot the party. Thank
uod, we hope the beginning of its
enl is dawning upon us.
DISKEGARD OF PUBLIC DECENCY.
The conduct of the President in
removing Mr. Cruss as a member
of',the Board of Public Worka at
Washington and its official ongin
eer, at the demand of his corrupt
colleagues, the Ring chiefs, has
been most severely criticised by the
independent press of the North.
Mr. Clauss's fault was only a too
honest and damaging testimony
against certain Inenda of the ad-
ministration, and yet the President
disregards public opinion and com-
i ti.

Grant retains Richardson in office
in spite of the Sanborn contracts;

he can reward Murphy s shameless
ucaviour wua a puouc letter oi
compliment ; he can uphold Leet

put up with anything of this kind
but his righteous indignation will
x . , .
not tolerate an honest witness.
We append what the New lork
Tribune thinks of the matter.
It is not usual we believe to slap a
witness into jail from the witness
stand because the thief in the dock
says his testimony is false, but that

honest, and they had charged him

This Hotel is beautifully situated immedi

semi-daily under the Building, thereby pro

Atlantic Coast.
The building is so constructed as to render
it peculiarly desirable to those seeking health
and pleasure.
THE ROOMS are commodious andacceesi-

of this justly celebrated Summer resort, and
former patrons will recognize a decided im

A LAKE, inclosed near the Hotel, will af
