Friend Mur? pl: y- \ mt rica Pasting Through an Era of Official corruption-More As? tounding Revelations Coming-Two Thousand millions of Dollars Stolen Who Received the Proceed? of the Coufitcated Confederate Cotton ? Tweed'? Popular Demonstration Preparing for the Russian Cub. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, September 23. More m usia The Tribune has suddenly dis? covered that there are public thieves in its own party. The thief the Tribune is "going lor" is Mr. Thomas Murphy, the leader of the anti-Greeley faction in tho City of New York. Perhaps *he record of this person's crimes would not have been raked up If he had been a worker in the Greeley ranks; but as he is Grant's fugleman in the metropolis, no mercy ls to be shown to him. The Tribune publishes affidavits to prove that Collector Murphy during the war obtained a large contract to furnish hats and caps to the United States ai nt' : that by means of collusion with the inspectors he passed off upon the government hats "made trom ground telt and gum, and other poor material ;" "bats and caps of the meanest quality;"' "hats and caps which flap? ped over the faces of the soldiers in filthy tatters as soon as a shower had melted t he shellac with which they were stiffened s nd held together,"-or. to make a long story short, that he swindled i he government out. of | $112,000 In this contract alone. The Tribune further saith of Mr. Grant's boon companion and metropolitan repre? sentative, that being tried for swindling before _ .A, commission appointed by the government ffmm the purpose, he obtained his acquitta, by bribing witnesses to perjure themselves or keep out of the way, and that the Hon. E. D. Webster declared that the hardest work of his legal career was his effort to keep Mr. Murphy out of Fort Lafayette. The collector flies to the defence of his sul? lied reputation with au address to the Republi? cans of the State ol New York, and a letter to his chief assailant, in which be asserts that the attempt ls being made to destroy him to j gratify the malice of a "vindictive editor," (meaning Greeley,) who likewise hopes, by the same crusade, to '-injure General Grant's administra'ion, of whicn he is the avowed enemy." The Tribune rejoins with another j torrent of billingsgate, and promises more j damaging revelations. If this sort of thing ls kept up, the country will soon be made to understand that there has been Just as stupendous a robber., of the people's money in the Radical Customhouse in wall street as there has been in the Tammany City Hall and- Courthouse, and that it is use? less as well as unfair to fix the blame on politi? cal parties. The politicians of the present day, irrespective cf party, bave become en? tirely demoralized. The public service of the United Slates and of the Individual States and municipalities is rotten to the core. We are pajsing through just such an era of official corrupt ion as England experienced during the premiership of Slr Robert Walpole. It is best that all the defalcations and peculations of the past ten years should come to light now. Let the people know the woxst I bear that reve? lations ol the most astounding character are forthcoming from a Democratic source In Washington. Facts are going to be elven showing that army quartermasters and Radical government officials at the close of the war between the States took possession of cotton and war ma? terial belonging to the Confederate Govern? ment worth a thousand millions ol' dollars, and that after the sale of this property less than $30,000,000 were turned Into the United Stares Treasury. All the remainder was stolen. Also mat racla, figures and names are to be given, Bhowing that In the years | and 1868, by collusion between govern? ment officials and distillers, one thousand mil? lion of dollars more belonging to the United States were misappropriated, some of the highest dignitaries In washington being con? cerned in the transaction. Here from two sources alone the Radical politicians have made away with $2,000,000,000 of the peoples' money, a sum almost sufficient to pay off the national debt. When we get to the bottom of these expo? sures, and the worst ls known, there will probably be a change for the better. The gjople. at least, will be sufficiently aroused om their torpor to protect their rights, which they have not been doing. The exam Ele set by the outraged taxpayers of South Caro? na will be followed all over the country. But, alter all, sometimes a feeling ol despair takes ??session of the observer when he sees around m the miserable consequences of the debase? ment of the suffrage In America. In South Carolina swarms of Ignorant voters worship at the shrine ot Bowen, a convicted felon: and here, notwithstanding the revelations of the last month, William M. Tweed is able to evoke Trom ey^ry.quarter of New York au outburst of enthusistio atfmrratfcrn almost unparalleled In local political history. " -- The metropolis last night resounded witta martial music. Out of every ward into ctr?;" { streets leading to the Bowery and Broadway marched ban a s of men bearing lighted torches and transparencies. They poured into that open piece of ground at the corner of East Broadway und Canal street, called Tweed Plaza, and filled ir. up from curb to curb. The Maare w?s one brilliant blaze of light. On a | platform in the centre sat William R. Roberts, member of Congress, as presiding officer, and by his side was the Boss, in a coat buttoned to the chin so as to conceal bis tremendous dia? mond, looking a little pale, but as self-possess? ed as usual. Among the speakers was a city judge, a State senator, an assistant district at? torney, and the Congressman before named. All of these spoke In terms of the highest eu? logy of the man who Is charged by the courts as well as the citizens with having secured the larger part ot the plunder derived from the new courthouse Job. When Tweed stepped to the front and taking off his cap laid lt on the Congressman's table and bowed, lrom thou? sands of throats went up a yell which might have been heard at the Battery* lt the night had been still. The Boss spoke but a short piece. He said he was ready to lace bis accus? ers In the courts, and that he should never be ^discouraged when such evidences of the peo {jtie's confidence as he saw there presented ^pemselves The Twe -d demonstration last night was In? tended as a menace or a warning to the influ? ential Democratic leaders In the State who are attempting to combine the antl-Tammanv Democratic faci lons in the citv with a cohesive party. Mr. Tilden, the chairman of the Demo? cratic State central committee, declares that if these elements form and elect delegates to the Rochester Convention they will be admitted to the exclusion of those sent by Tammany Hall. TUe German Democratic committee held a meeting last night and made overtures to the Young Democracy, the Mozarters and the Democratic Union, and appointed a committee of conference. It looks now as if there would be four sets of tickets run tor local and legisla? tive officers in this city in November, to wit : Eegular Democratic, Tammanv Democratic, Greeley Radical, and Grant Radical. The Greeley local senatorial conventions have ali been held. The four candidates nomi? nated for the State Senate from this etty are Hegeman, the man of a dozen Broadway drug stores, old Lemuel Bangs, president of the Asbury (Methodist) Insurance Company. Enoch L. Fancher, the leading Methodist lawyer In New York, and Thomas E. Stewart, hotel owner and ex-member ol Congress. The entire south wing of the Clarendon Hotel has been engaged lor the Russian Grand Duke and his suite. The self-appointed com? mittee of wealthy citizens formed for the pur? pose of doing the honors of the city to the imperial visitor have arranged for a military parade and a torchlight procession under General Shafer, a grand ball at the Academy ot Music, a breakfast and raceB at Jerome Park, and a steamboat .-xcurslonto West Point The Prince of Wales afluir ls to be outdone if DOS eible. Nr? THE BUTLER SQUABBLE.. SPRINGFIELD, Miss., September 26 IJOne thousand and sixty-one delegates have .Jbeen elected, of whom four hundred and thirty-two are Butlerites. THE OLD DOMINIOS. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] RICHMOND. September 22. Never was there such a season for the Vir? ginia Springs. AU or nearly all were '.rowded, and ?o were the villages and farm houses near them. I went to those along the line ot the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. Liked the Al leghany, liked the Montgomery White, and the Yellow Sulphur; each had some attraction the other had not. All had pretty girls. The res? ident doctors pleased me, too; Powell, of the Montgomery White, and Goolrlck, of the Yel? low Sulphur, are sood physicians and tine fel? lows. White, ot the Alleghany, is one of the most winning men I ever met. It I should say that all three of these Springs are well kept, you might think I was puffiug. But they are. You South Carolinian! try them next summer, if you want unadulterated Southern society. HOME AGAIN. People are returning rapidly. Went to the Chesapeake and Ohio depot the other day when the train came in. Such a crowd ! Children, no end of them ! I saw the most stylish married lady in Richmond, and one of j our greatest belles yet out, and I knew the summer was ended. One lady had a white nurse seven feet high and a very small hus? band. I don't know what I thought ot that. IMPROVEMENTS. This town ia improving. No its nor ands about it. All the country editors who come here to get advertisements say so, and the city papers copy what they say-one inser? tion, gratis. Bu: anybody can see the town ls improving, because* they have painted the Medical College olive color, and have a scaf? fold clear up to the top of Broad street Meth? odist Church. Ford, however, seems to have got tired of putting additions to his hotel. AMUSEMENTS. Not many amusements as yet. Davenport Brothers to-night. Theatre opens Monday night with Lady o: Lyons. Ogden last year tried indecencies, wblch our people don't like. It is to be hoped ?.hat the management this year will profit by Ogden's woful lallure. Last week James Grant, who slew Rives Pollard, gave two concerts. His own voice, Arnold'e, and his tenor's, were enjoyable. So was the voice of a little woman, whose name escapes me. But he brought along a Miss Schimpt, a good girl, I dare say; but jlmber-jawed and grim-mouthed to a degree. Worst ot all, Ehe sucked in her breath so that you could hear her over the whole house. Richmond people don't fancy second-rate music, and I don't taney the Blchmond habit of encoring every thine. Prolongs the concert and makes it a horrible bore. MORE MUSIC. I see tbat Johann Struss, with sixty-two per? formers, is to be in New York before the season ends. If he comes here, as doubtless he will, we will send him down to Charleston. We have in this city a Mr. Clapp, who knows all the great musicians, and manages some? how to induce them to visit us. Richmond folk will spend their last dollar fer good music. In that they've always been extravagant. WHEAT'S ORGAN. It is said that some twenty pieces of carpet? ing which were put in the organ at the Monu? mental Church are to be taken out, so that Mr. Wheat may display the fui: power of the in? strument So great is its force, it is further | said, that when ali the stops are out the win? dows are in danger. Windows or no windows, Mr. Wheat is going to let us have the full bene? fit of his organ. This is good news for even -1 body but the editor of the Enquirer, who con? siders tin?.i sacred instrument, the Jewsharp, the only proper organ for a religious edifice. ELDER'S LEE. Elder ls hard at work on his picture of Gene-1 ral Lee for the City ot Savannah. The general is represented as Btandlng c. an eminence near Hamilton Crossing. In the foreground are soldiers at work on fortifications, in the middle distance is Fredericksburg, and tar away on the misty heights of Stafford gleam the white tents ot the Yankees. It will be Ei? der's masterpiece. HK RM ts. THE KU-KLUX TRIALS AT RALEIGH. RALEIGH, September 26. In the Circuit Court to-day the case of the United States against Amos and some thirty others has consumed the day. The case bas been progressing since Saturday. The de? fence have not yet concluded the testimony. A number of very strong alibis have been proven. One of the severest wind and rain storms that has visited thia section in a number ot years has been prevailing since 4.30 P. M. though it is fast dying away. Large trees have been blown down in the streets. THE KC-KLUX COMMITTEE. A Chance for Outraged Taxpayers. WASHINGTON, September 26. The sub-Ku-KIux committee, having special? ly in charge the finances ot the South, will act separately. 8enator Pool jejiaa}as--irere," "Re preventative Stevenson goes to Cincinnati, and Bedc-gOes to Lexington. Mr. Beck urges Chat State, county and municipal officers send to him at Lexington authenticated statements of their debts and taxes, and the incidental circumstances connected with the accumula? tion ol debt and increase of taxation. Mr. Beck expects and hopes that every officer having charge of State,jaunty or municipal finances win take the Trouble to report to him, and in cases where reports may be with? held, or partial, on account of the parthan character ol V e onicials, he urges prominent citizens to send him statements authenticated beyond question. These statements, it is de? sired, shall be lair, and consist mainly of fig? ures wi'.hout any partisan statement. The com mitt ie will reassemble here on November 1st lo make a consolidated report. THE SEED OE REFORM. [From the Barnwell Senilnel.] It ever a government, in all its branche?, legislative, executive. Judicial. State and mu? nicipal, needed reform, lt is this Government of the United States. It is manifest nothing can save the country Irom ruin and further disgrace but Reform, general and complete. This being the case, and some difference of opinion existing in the minds of good men, as to the name ot' the party to effect this reform, many good, honest Republi? cans feeling its necessity as sensibly as do the best State Rights Democrats, but **ho are reluctant to leave the party with .which they have been acting, and range: them? selves under the banner of the opoosinj?i party, and, above al!, the colored element Wr the South, having a deep-seated beliet that the Republican party achieved their emancipation, while the Democrats opposed it, why not sink all party names, aad running up a new party banner with the name cf Constitutional Reform Party inscribed on it, invite ali honest men who desire constitutional government to range themselves under its folds . This would at once open the door to every honest voter and sincere patriot ia the land. Amnesty, civil service, tariff, revenue reform, eco? nomical and honest administration, here is a vast field in which to work, and It does seem to us, with the inspiriting cry of Re? form, the good, true, honest and patriotic of all parties, all classes, all race?, will unite m one grand effort to bring Hie country back to constitutional rule. This taint ol' corruption ls not confined to the Radical party. Corrup? tion taints both parties, and all ranks of socie? ty; it is seen aad felt socially as well as politi? cally. At least, let us In South Carolina, for the Hue being, set ourselves diligently to the work of State reform, and earnestly invite all good men of whatever party, whether white or black, to help U3 in the virtuous effort. SFARKS FROM THE WIRES. -A steamer foundered on Lake Lucerne, and five lives were lost. -Arkansas i3 excited about the goid mines discovered near Monticello. -Lewis Joseph Papereau. the leader ot the Canadian rebelLon of 1338, is dead-aged eighty-three. -Ten gold and silver neals were stolen from the State Department tit Washington, and melted. The thieves were arrested. THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT. CARL SCHURZ. TUE BOLD GERMAS SESATOR, AT SASH VILLE. EfrYct or his Speech-Response of Lead? ing Confederates. NASHVILLE, September 23. Tr.? speech delivered by Carl 8churz. of Mis? souri, or. Wednesday, created a profound im? pression b political circles. The most signifi? cant incident connected with it is the following letter, formally addressed to Senator Schurz, and signed by several hundred ex-Confederate soid:ers. embracing every grade and rank ol the Confederate service, from privates and non-commissioned officers up to major-gene? rals. The signers generaliy are representative men for influence in the community : NASHVILLE, September 21, 1871. Hov.. Charles Schurz-Dear Sir: We, the undersigned, formerly Confederate soldiers, wish to express to you our high regard tor yourself, and our profound regard and admi? ration of the unselfish, non-partisan, cultured and patriotic address delivered by you in this city. We admire the maniy, Independent spirit which refuses obedience to parly when in conflict with one's convictions ot duty and rieht. We pledge you that we are no parti? sans: that we have a laith that no words can express in the sublime significance of the mis? sion and destiny of the American Republic; that we honor and revere the national tiag as the assured herald ot that day when the races o? men. ot al! ranks and conditions, will be re? deemed and delivered lrom all species of poli? tical and mental thraldom. We wish to turn our bael-: upon all sectional parlies, and all parties groping in the moonlight ot the past, and to ally ourselves with any party that wi " be animated with the spirit of civil and reli? gious tolerance, and brood and elevate patrl- J otism net bounded by State lines, but inspired by an abiding faith in the genius ot free Insti? tutions. REPLT Ol' SENATOR 8CH?RZ. The following is Senator Schurz's reply to the ex-Ccsrederate soldiers' letter: MAXWEL HOUSK. NASHVILLE, September 23,1871. Geniier.ien-I have received your letter, ?nd without affectation I may say that I cannot J find words strone enough to describe the joy it has given me. Spontaneous expressions of | such sentiment as your letter contains, com? ing from you as late soldiers ot the Confeder? ate army, may well be called an event of great significance of our days. When your former comrades, as well as you, do now rally around the flag of the American Republic as "the symbol of universal freedom, equal rights and constitutional government; when they declare they will turn their backs on all parlies groping In the moonlight of the past, and discountenance that partisan spirit which ls so apt to obscure ihe human reason and blunt the best impulses ot the heart; when they once more recognize the Identity ot their true interests with those of our great common country, then every patriotic citizen will feel that the regeneration of the South ls certain to be accomplished by her own people. Jf there is still lurking bere and there a spirit which keeps up feelings ot animosity and distrust, and which, by means of social pro- { scriptlon, or intimidation, or violence, strives to impede the development ot free public opinion, you can render lt harmless by your influence and example, inhere are still dis? turbances ot peace and order of society occur ling, calculated to produce the impression that the rights of citizens can be sufficiently protected only by the interference of ihe gen? eral government In your local concerns, you can dispel that Impression by devoting your energies to the enforcement of the laws, thus proving the capacity ot self-government here as well as elsewhere. If there ls still an ap? prehension as to a sect designed to subvert the loyal government, and by reactionary movements, you will remove the apprehen? sion jy demonstrating that the young South has risen above old prejudices, and old obso? lete practices, and is determined to build up again the prosperity and power of these States on a basis la harmony with the progres? sive spirit of the age. Men ot courage and conviction like you will do nothing by halves; Ihey will not look back when they have put their hands to the plough. I assure you that your efforts will have the sin? cerest appreciation, hearty applause and ener? getic support of every true lrtend of liberty and free institutions. Four rights will be the security of the rights of all, your power will be strong In the restored brotherhood of all Americans, and the Republic will be proud of al! her sons. Yours, Ac. CARL SCHURZ.
