On tho faco of it tho law seems to bo
perfectly fair, but In practice, of late
years, it has resulted in giving urian
imous Republican committees, as wit
iiess tho Lynd, Runn-AVltham, and
m to recently tho Grecn Shortt cases.
For example: excluding contestants,

It will not answer to say that this Is
c'lanco ; tho laws of clianco do not run
continually in that rut. Wo venture
tho assertion that a betting man would
wager money that if tho Democrats had

drawing they would havo one-third of
tho members of tho committcoj but
as it is, ho would not stake a dollar,

Inaction.
Tho present Legislature met with
many promises of reform, but as yet
not a single ono has boon carried out.
In tho two weoks succeeding tho open
ing of tho session tho Houso met six
times, and did not sit over eight hours
during thoso two weeks. No public
business was dono or attempted to bo
dono (except members voting them
selves a library), and thus tho public
tlmo and money havo been wasted.
As a result, towards tho close of tho
Session public bills, prlvato jobs, &c,
will bo rushed through without consid
eration, and our statuto book will bo
loaded with a mass of illy digested
laws. Tho long delay in getting to
work breeds idleness, and of course cor
ruption, and is in overy respect repre
hensible. In New York it is a subject
of common complaint that tho members
aro getting $3.00 per day, and only sit
four days in tho week. Our Pennsyl
vania Solons get $10.00 per day meet
threo days In tho week, and havo an
average session of about ninety min-
UtC3 I
For this result wo hold tho Republi
cans responsible. As they havo a largo
majority, and control tho legislation,
thoy should hasten tho public interests
by constant unci uninterrupted work.
The Democracy insist that General
Grant is a heavy load for tho Republi
can party to carry but what would thoy
give to bo ullowed to bear our burdens V
JPress,
What would they havo to glvo?
Everything of honor, Justice, regard
for tho lives and liberties of tho people,
respect for tho Constitution and tho
laws, which thpy now havo,'und which
seem to find an abiding placo among
the Democracy alone. It would hardly
bo worth whllo to glvo all theso to ac.
uuiro a power perpetuated by bayonets
and bribery, and to fill tho pockets of
that animated tobacco furnaco who
occasionally visits tho White Houso
when not otlierwlso engaged. Wo'ro
content to let tho Republicans bear
their own burdens, from Grant down
to Forney. Wo may havo tho latter on
our hands again somo day.
The lato Mr. Fisk, it i3 well known,
was no respecter of persons any moro
than of principles, and spako ovll of

males him when it says with lrrovcront
veracity that "his four-in-hand usually
"conveyed moro spotted reputations

"the Opera Houso was shunned as If

then, that President Gkant was onco
convoyed in that most immaculato
"four-in-hand that Prosidont Grant
sato, evidently fearing no infection aud
no loss, in that lazar-box at "tho Opora

Tho minora of I'knnbyi.vania In
their continual underground burrowing
aro In n fair way to destroy tho founda

been regarded ns tho keystone of thn

would leave n black void of torrlblo
dimensions, nnd there would bo no
longer n testing placo for tho foot of
tho Ihlck-and.thln protectionist, and no

with which tho mining companies
proceed to cut away tho mass of rock
and coal on which farms and villages

Horaeo (Jrceley an il Hid President.
A Missouri editor, having nominated
Horaeo Greeley, tho veteran head of tho
Now York Tribune, for tho Presidency,
received tho f illowing pointed nnd slg
nillcant letter from tho latter:
Nuw York Tribune, )
New Youk, December 18, 1871. J
1'. Donan, Esq., Lexington, Mo.:
My Dear Sin: I havo yours of tho
l nil lust. I havo no doubt t hat tho policy
you suggest is that which your party
ought to adopt. Thoy should havo run
Salmon P. Chaso in W8. Then, as tho
result of that contest, tho return of
genuiuo peaco and thrift woum havo
been promoted. That policy gavo you
more last year in Missouri than could
havo been achieved by a party triumph.
You only err as to the proper candidate.
I am not tho man you need. Your
party is mostly Frco-trade, aud I am a
ferocious Protectionist. I havo no
doubt that I might bo nominated mid
elected by.vour iicin : but it would nlncu
us all in false positions. If I, who nm
adversely interested, can sco this, I am
suro your good sense will, ou reflection,
realize it. you must taito somo man
llko Gratz Crown, or Trumbull, or Gen.
Cox (lato Secretary Interior), nnd thus
neip to paciry anu reunito our country
anew.
Yours, Horace Greeley.
Tlio Louisiana Outrage.
Wo clip tho following from tho Now
York Tribune in relation to tho scaudal
ous and disgraceful efforts of Grant's
brother-in-law, Casey, to obtain control
of tho Stato Government of Loulsiaaa.
Tho nrticlo neods no explanation ; it
speaks for itself:
Tho Administration party havo no
excuse whatever for their high-handed
and revolutionary course: they charged
conspiracy on Warmoth and his friends,
und procured their arrest for proposing
to uo oxactiy wnat iney uiu tnemscives
consplro to gain possession of tho
legislature, neroisa uoucetor, umtou
States Marshal, and other oillcers of tho
National Government combining nnd
forming a party to selzo tho Stato Gov
ernment, doposa tho Governor, and
" rim tho machino " for their own un
developed purposes. Thero is no nt
tempt to conceal this purpose, no dis
guise of tho motivo for all this hubbub.
It is for such efforts to cxposo tho
frauds aud corruptions of tho Repub
lican party that Horaeo Greeley has
been blackguarded by Administration
journals aud caricatured by tho artists
of Harper's Weekly. Thorois very llttlo
inducement for a man to bo honest in
tho Republican party. All his reward
is abuse.
A bill was recently Introduced In tho
Houso of Representatives in Washing
ton to glvo a right of appeal in habeas
corpus cases from final judgments in U.
S. Circuit Courts to tho Supremo Court
of tho United States. Tho law giving
tho right of appoal was repealed in 18G3
for partisan purposes and this bill looks
to tho ro-onactment of tho law. As tho
rights and liberties of tho peoplo nro af
fected by tho existence of tho law wo do
not feel sanguino as to its ro-enactment
by tho. present Congress whoso chief
duty seems to be to provido for tho ro
election of Grant.
Mutilated Currency. On and
after tho 1st of January, 1S72, defaced

now notes j provided that three-Ilfths
of tho original proportlou of such notes
aro presented iu ono piece. Tho most
liberal facilities for redemption of mu
tilated notes and fractional currency nro
promised by tho Treasury Department.
In splto of tho Republican promlsoof
reform in tho granting of lands to cor
porations, by Congress, au official state
ment recently submitted, shows that
tho quantity of land which railroad
companies will receive under grants

sum of 172,709, 130 acres 1 If this Is ro
form wo should llko to know what
tho nmount would havo been without
reform.

Messrs. JCsielmen, 1'trlstone, Jlaughman,
Committee (if Invitation,
Gentlemen : l regret that I cannot
accept your invitation to bo present nt
tho next nnuiial celebration of thuSth
of January. It would havo given mo
great pkuuro to meet nnd tako counsel
of thoso who nro so well grounded in
tho faith nnd tho practice of Democracy
as tho men of Wayno County, und with
them to recall tho principles and exam
ple of tho founders of our party.
Two rat dangers Imperil frco in
stitutions under tho policy of tho party
now In power. Tho spirit of contrallzcd
military government attacks overy
whero tho Constitution, nnd corruption
In office destroys tho civil ndinliilstrn-
tlon. 1 do not speak merely orchlcllyof
special defalcations howovcr startling,
but of tho general degradation of tho
standard of official Integrity until tho
ources in uotn trio civn nnu military
servico seem to bo considered tho prop
crty of tho party, to bo dispensed mid
administered primarily for party ag
grandizement or personal prollt.
Theso dangers grow out of and nro
Inscparablo from tho prosont orgunlzi
tion of tho Republican party. Its foun
dation, its philosophy, Its history, und
Its leaJers rccocuizo military power and
tho corrupting uso of money by official
patronage ns legmmato lorces in oruin
ury civil administration, and now moro
than ever nro thoy brought into active
exercise. Tho Democratic party con
fronts this theory mid denounces theso
practices.
Founded upon tho Idoa of local
government, jealous of powers granted
to authority, taught that simplicity and
economy aro essential to tho honesty
necessary in Republican institutions, il
maintains wan moro uctermineu pur
poso that tho military must bo suborili-
nato to tho civil authority, nnd that
oiiices aro a trust lor trio peapio, not
spoils for the victors.
Its powerful organlzitlon cntors ovoy
village iu tho laud, aud numbers among
its adherents nearly ouo-half tho people-
ns Intellectual, as puro, as patriotic, as
uiiseitish as any orthoir reiiow-cittzetis.
Thoy nro too numerous to bo cowardly.
They aro too patriotic to bo lukowarm.
They aro too sincoro 5n their purposes
and convictions to bo diivcu to despon
dency by ten years of revorses. Thoy
havo shown constancy in ucieac us
well as wisdom in victory, tf I under
stand their feelings thoy will neither
disband their organization uor ilco tho
field beforo tho contest commences.
Either course, thoy believe, would glvo
undisputed sway to tho present admin
istration, which could then clvo undi
vided attention to tho deserters from its
ranks.
An ndvnnclnsr army, with tho onerav
cither dispersed or, in lllght, novcr loses
divisions or rciilmonts. or oven com
panies, and is generally abloto pick off
or to picic up treacnerouaor tuoughtioss
stragglers.
If thcro be, as is claimed, many mem
bers of tlio Republican party who dis
approve tho Ideas which dominate tho
administration of President Grant, and
aro prepared to opposo his ro-eloctlon,
thoy should declaro their purposes, or
ganizo their party, dovelop and mani
fest their strength, and if I may predict
tho future, they will have no just cause,
oven tbo most sonsitivo und timid
among them, for rofuslug to co-oporato
with tlio .DoiiiocriitJc party. WJioti ito
authorized convention shall spoak it
will remind its ndlicronts that tho tiltl
mato nnd highest purposo of its exis
tence is tosecuro tho greatest prosperity,
in its best sonse, of overy human beiug
in tho land ; that principles of govern
ment aro trtto or untrue, ns thoy con
tributo to this result ; that parties arid
politics and offices nro but means to
this end: that principles aro of illiTor
cnt application, and questions loso their
importanco in tho over-shifting changes
of human affairs, and discarding all
narrow ideas,abandoning thoconsidera
tionof all questions which havo boon
decided or buried by tho ovents which
havo passed ; recognizing tlio nccom
plished facts of tho present, and ap
preciating tho dangers of tho futuro, it
will invito, botli by words and by
deeds, both by resolutions and by
nominations, tho zealous, hearty co
operation of nil men who bellovo that
tho Constitution is a hotter system of
government than martial law, and
that reform in tho civil servico is a
higher duty than rowardlng prospec
tive partisan effort by distributiug
spoils.
By tills courso tho party, I should
hope, would attain success. If it should
onco moro fall, as an honest, faithful,
patriotic minority, it will hold an
important position and exert an im
menso moral power ovor tho majority ;
and it may well wait with faith tho
inevitable hour which will crown its
fidelity and patlonco with tho success
which It will havo deserved.

Hablo for all bills, of whatever nature,
that his wlfo may contract was not sus
tained by Judgo Thayer, in P 'lade.1
phia. In a caso in court tho Ju i de
cided Iu favor of a husband wh had
been sued by a dry goods firm, for n
debt contracted by his wife. Defcnso
set up that defendant furnished his wlfo
with an amplo supply of necessaries. In
tho courso of his charge, Judge Thayer
said:
"It Is a f.dso and foolish notion for
tradespeople to entertain that a husband
is bound to pay nil bills contracted by
his wifo. No such monstrous doctrlno
Is allowed In tho law. Tradesmen
must ascertain tho facts and tho truo ro-
latlon of man and wlfo beforo allowing

Commenting upon this exposition of
law, which ought to bo moro familiar
than It is, tho Philadelphia Jlecord
thinks, that when tho tradespeople
como to distinctly understand it, "a
very senslblo step will havo been nc
compllshcd towards reform In tho wan

which, under tho meretricious Impulso
of tho stupid despot called 'fashion,' bo
