J: I UNIONMD AMERICAN. J. 0.fclTITE 00. WroWeSDAY. DECEMBER 27, THE'Otekrtestm JVtK-s refers to. a "field day'lntbe Sautk, Carolina House of ep- reseiitetives. The raost curious part of It is jtfaat tie work'sras mostly done by those whtorere onceffiemjands."' ir IT Is said that Mr. James E. McLean, who has been, appointed Collector of the port of Chicago, is not related to the Presi dent. He is only-the Msiness partner of the President's brother Orville. "Ijvaxls you," said .Mr. Schurz, during the recent' debate In the Senate, "that the American people are on the point of de manding an honest government." Well, it is about time they were making such a de mand. Noticing the fact that Nilsson's lover has .been incarcerated in a lunatic asylum by the authorities of New York, the Cin cinnati Enquirer exclaims: "This is all the charity the world can bestow upon a poor man who falls in love with divinity. Busch loved beyond hii sphere." Mr. IIatvley, a Radical member from Illinois, showed a strange ignorance cf facts wheif he stated In Congress a few days ago that the Radical party had 'Sven the fran chise to every man in the country." In the State of Rhode Island no naturalized citizen is permitted to exercise the elective franchise unless he owns real estate. A proposition to strike this provision out of the Constitution of that State was voted down by the Radicals U few montlis ago. THE DEMOCRACY. There is no cause for and no reason in the disorganization of the Democratic par ty. The Presidential canvass should b-3 conducted on a basis of honor and principle, not of political bargain and arrangement. Let the anti-Grant Republicans stay out of the Grant nominating convention, and thus avoid the slighest suspicion of committing themselves to him. Let them advecate their own honest views and pursue tliat course which they honestly believe right and priuciplc require. The Democracy will do the same. Let those who believe the present administration to be unfaithful and corrupt and tending finally to despotism or anarchy fight it with might and main Do this and the future will take care of itself. The progress" of the canvass will show that those who think alike will have no difficulty in acting together when the needed hour for co-operation comes. The disorganization of the Democracy would not only weaken it by the lack and loss of discip line, but would also, if the Democracy be half so obnoxious to Republicans as those who favor disorganization would liave us believe, weaken the anti-Grant Republican organization. MORE RADICAL CORRUPTION IX SOUTH CAROLINA. The Washington Patriot states that a cu rious fact lias come to light about the South Carolina contested election case of the biga mist Bowen against the negro DeLarge, the sitting member. It appears that the attor ney employed by DeLarge to take testi mony is his behalf, refuses to surrender the testimony, or to file it with the election committee, who are ready to proceed to the consideration of the case immediately after the holidays. The attorney, it is report ed, demands $1,500 for the testimony, which liia client is unwilling and unable to pay. The case is, there fore, likely to go by default in favor of Bowen. The extraordinary conduct of the lawyer is alleged by the friends of DeLarge to be occasioned by a corrupt agreement with Bowen. De Large was elected in the Charleston district, defeating Bowen, who represented the district in the last Congress. The inspectors of election in Beauford, stuff ed the ballot-box with De Large tickets,and were convicted at the spring term ol the United States Court in Chaeleston,and sen tenced to prison. If the whole vote of the poll where this fraud was practiced is thrown out, and there is no proof of frauds committed by Bowen's friends, he will be entitled to the seat. Both the contestants are Radicals. Bowen was prevented from taking any ac tive steps in a contest during the spring session by his trial and conviction for bigamy, and his friends at that time claimed that he was prosecuted through the instiga tion of the friends of De Large, to prevent his contesting the latter's seat After he was pardoned by Grant, he ran for the State Senate in Charleston, and was triumphantly elected. De Large rests his case upon a claim that there was fraudulent voting for Bowen on one nf the Sea Islands, and the testimony, suppressed by the attorney, is said to prove that such was the case. THE "IIEKAI.D" IN AFRICA. The "enterprise" of the New York Usraltl has become proverbial. The ambi tion of its proprietor is to excel all other papers in the variety and extent of its news, and this laudable zeal has called forth some of the most extraordinary statements on various popular subjects that an intelligent community has been asked to swallow since the publication of the Munchausen tales. If the Grand Lama of Thibet shn files "ofTtlus mortal coil," a reporter of the Herald is pres ent in the death chamber to feel the pulse of the dying sovereign, and the following day the Herald contains an elaborate ac couut of the event, the nature of the fatal disease, and a verbatim report of the last utterances of the great ruler. The Empe ror of China has a difficulty with some of his fractious subjects in a remoto province, inaccessible to any stranger but a Herald reporter; next mail brings a minute account of the trouble, its origin, progress and issue, with an exciting description of the battles between the imperial troops and the rebels, and Homeric pictures of the wounds inflic ted ou every mandarin engaged in the ex pedition. The ubiquitous Herald reporter misses nothing that "any other man" is privileged to see, and he is usually gifted with power to read the inmost thoughts of men. No Emperor or potentate rcfusis him an interview, and it is really marvel lous how frank and confiding these individ uals become in the presence of Bennett's "commissi6ner." The most important State secrets are divulged with a reckless ness that would st rikv an nrdiiwy human being dumb with aniiimnt, U;t which never disconcerts the JlrralJ nun, nor checks the flow of his conversation. But he has grown tired of these tame, everyday occurrences. Any country journal can get up "an interview, or despatch a swift sailing tug to intercept some vessel conveying news of more than ordina ry importance, and to be in advance of ri- j.' newspapers by such common means, is not worth boasting about. The Herald hag therefore, entered a new field of jour nalism. Tired of publishing statements Respecting Livingstone one week, and deny ing them the next, and anxious to ascertain the fate,df 'the greiFexp plorer, nas aay organfaed ao expedition "wgardf w oi expensKV and sent itway ffiloThe unexplored recesses of Africa to hunt up the missing-traveler: "ThS first fruits bf this gigantic enterprise we -have, In a .five column report, from theexpeimkro,' putK lished with many flourishes and sub-heads. and paraded osteritatiousir fceforen the en lightened inhabitants of Gotham. In ad dition to this, nearly VcplmmfaiHid ijji&lf of editorial calls attention to the report and sings praises ,-to rtbe enterprisiBr" Ben-' nett. We- are "'Informed rkv thir elaborate reportthat the "Commissioner" with his little army of attendants "and servants had, on the 4th of July last reached Unyanyembe, exactly 526 1 miles from Bago moyo, on the east 'coast of Africa, opposite Zanzibar. The journey was, of course, attended with many hardships and much suffering, and was accomplished In shorter time than had been made by former travel ers. A New York Herald "Commissioner" is not a man to be outdone or outwalked by any living mortal, and this, intrepid fellow was of the true Herald mettle. While Burton and Seeks bungled along over, the same route at the rate of-three and one sixth miles, he accomplished the journey at the rattling r&le.of six. and one-quarter, miles per day. With characteristic modesty, however, he adds "you must .not imagine that I am stating this in order to make an invidious comparison, but simply to show you how expeditiously we have traveled." The route passed through the Makata swamps a distance of forty-five miles, and the veracious Commissioner reports that" it is knee deep of water and black mire, and for five days we marched through this cataclysm." And during these five days every mother's son In that luckless expedi tion suffered from the "terrible fever of East Africa," smallpox, and dysentery. The reporter, himself, was attacked with fever and dysentery and in the five days was reduced from 170 to 130 pounds avoirdu pois in weight. Two carriers fell victims to this dysentery, "and," continues the vera cious chronicler, "even the dog Omar was attacked by it, and presently died." Of course, the expedition heard of Livingstone The Herald's readers would nevsr be satis fied with tidings less important.-It seems he is at Ujiji laid up fVom a wound, and very fat from eatiDg rice. The Herald reporter, however, doesn't know whether to believe these rumors, and he concludes in true Herald style as follows: "Until I hear more of fiim, or see the long absent old man face to face, I bid you fare well; but wherever he Is, be sure I shall not give up the chase. If alive you shall hear what he has to say; if dead, I will find and bring bis bones to you." The fate of that expedition is fixed, and unless Livingstone make3 his re-appearance In civilized society, we need never expect to hear from that Herald Commissioner again He'll get into some other big Mataka swamp and go the way of his hapless dog "Omar." Sic semper. Let us Have Peace. In a recent speech in Baltimore, Senator Whyte, of Maryland, used the following language "Peace was Grant's promise to the South, but cruel and relentless war was in his heart. He can send the peaceful followers of Penn with words of gentleness, soft as a anther's smiles, to the red men of the forest, but he knows no law of kindness for his while brethren at the South." Postmaster General Creswell Issued an order a few days ago prohibiting the presentation of New Year's addresses and the acceptance of donations by the letter-carriers. The reason given was that it was demoralizing to the postal service. But, says the Washington Patriot, this same Postmaster General daily issues passes to personal friends to travel over the railroads at the expense of the Postoffice Department. Is this demoralizing, or 13 it not? MISCELLANEOUS. STRAYED.
