iShao. "Augusta, Mo., September
5th. We liavo ewcpt the State.
Blaini.'
What a Radical lie that was.
Bungled. The Radical attempt to
bribe the Fosicn members of the Maine
Legislature was a very bungling piece
oi business. , In other places the thing
is done differently ; that is, it docs not
fail.
' Ordered Back. TJijjow8froni
celebrated Curtin-Yocum case, will be
referred back to the people, and that
we will all have an opportunity to vote
for a Congressman at tho February
election. That is certainly the Bern
oonttic way to settle this dirty case.
Innovating a Little. The Phila
delphia Inquirer, one of the Radical
organs of that city, punctured Hayes
on this plan : "Having exhausted the
able-bodied male population of Ohio,
Mr. llayos is now filling offices with
residents of other Statos who were
born in Ohio. This is as cIobo ai he
can adhore to the original plan under
existing clrcumstancos."
Prehidential Tests. The editor of
the Philadelphia Timet has been poll
ing the newspaper fralornity in this
State on the Presidential question.
Klsewhore will be found bis report of
tho case in this bagatelle game. It
will bo noticed that the Imperial stock
Grant docs not boom so high as it
did some time ao.
Tbe News From Maine. It is an
nounced that the - Democrats and
Rreenbackcrs in tho Maine Legislature
hare eloctcd Joseph L. Smith, Green
backer, Governor, and still "hold tho
fiirt," although Bluinu, ono of tbe Uni
ted Slates Senators, telegraphed all
over the Union on the 5th of Septem
ber last: "Wo have swept the Slato.
We have elected onr Uovernor, and
carried both branches ot tho Legisla
ture." This outburst of this dema
gogue, illume, now proves to be un
true, and ho snoaks away like a skui.k
; lie made an incendiary speech two
Vfffinbe. n ..-. nM 1 1, . !
" " gv ivi tuv pmiiwiv vi urwuilDg
a riot, so that the army could be sent
for ; but the people did not riot, al
though Blaine called on tbcra to do so.
How Natural. We see it stated
that Congressman Hoilman, of the
First I ndiana District, the roost wealthy
(icrman-Amorican in tho State, and
tho man who bag Raid more dollars
into the Radical campaign fund than
any tlx other moo in Indiana, says
the Gormans of his section will not
vote for Grant in any possiblo contin
gency. He says they have "soon
enough of the strong, paternal govern
ment In'the old country." How nat
ural that those born in a Kingdom, or
an Empire, and because of the rigor
imposed on thorn by the rulers, have
alionated' themselvci from home and
friends, and ecltlod in the United
States, because they loved Liberty
rubor than Empire. We know that
4hootjaods of European birth, have
tiowlisbly irotod the Radioal tickot for
-.years, but now that the quostioa is
Huaroly put, before iiom a Republic

Bhip these men will be forced to vote
for the Ilomocrt nominee, in order
to preserve the freedom of this Re
public, which they must hand over
unimpaired to their children, aa be
come parents who love their onaprinir,
SO-CALLED PROSPERITY.
The most of our readers aro awurc
that tho nirtnuVirtiiriTJ of all the lead
ing products of the country have pool
ed thoir interests and advanced their
wares from twenty to fllty per cent.
What prosperity this will entail on tho
country ; wo aro unallo to see, bceauKO
thore are about one thousand consum
ers to one manufacturer. To state
the facts jpractically, we will allude to
eur own case to show how prosperity
will strike us for the current year. In
1879, our bills for paper and stationery
amounted to tbe sum of $981. CO, or,
lor the sake of round numbors, say
$1,000. Since the first of November,
the manufacturers have pat three ad
vances on paper, until now it reaches
FORTY PER CENT, over last year's
rates. That will add just siuu to our
prosperity (over the left) on our paper
bills, now is this theft to be replac
ed 1 Will each subscriber pay ub
EiaiiTT cents more for 1880 than for
1879, or must we hand tho $400 over
to the manufacturer and lose that
much 7 Printers may be able to en
dure such prosperity for awhilo ; but
if the advance continues, it is only a
question of time when half of thoso
who are now engaged in tbe business
will be wound np, and the manufactur
ers mado rich by levying blackmail on
tbe consumer. We hope our default
ing subscribers will peruse this state
ment, and send us at least enongh dur
ing the yoar to make up this oxtra
$400, so that we can hand it over to
tho manufacturer.
The Hovt-Woodward Case. The
appointment of Col. Woodward as
Judgo, by Govornor Hoyt, is making
things warm for both of those gentlo-
men. The Pittsburgh Pott, in allud
ing to this piece of political harlotry,
says: "Stanloy Woodward in openly
ospousing the cause of Hoyt for Gov
ornor, against so worthy and popular
candidate as Mr. Dill, risked bis
standing with tho Democracy without
gaining tho gratitude or confidonco of
the Republican party. In return, Hoyt
appoints him Judge to nil a vacancy
for limited term, against the protosts
of his party friends, but advises Mr.
Woodward ho must not expect any
further notice at his band', as he in
tonds to support the Republican can
didntu whoever he may be at the next
election. The Governor don't want to
take too many chances, as it might in
torfero with tho future programme,
bich is first, the election of Quay
United States Senator, and in the
event of Grant's elcotion, Don. Cam
eron will roeign, to take bis old place
in the Cabinet, when Hoyt will be
olocted in his place and leave Lieuten
ant Governor Stone in the Guberna
torial chair. The boys who are now
running the machine, discount the fu
ture with as much coolness and appar
ently as much confidence as if Inspired
by revelation. The years to come are
wrecks, so long as unbounded hope
fills their breasts and unmeasured
plunder stimulates their efforts."
How Ciianued the Sentiment
The larceny of tho Presidency by tbe
disfranchisement of two States was
called "purifying the ballot-box."
Counting out allogod Republican mem
bers of the Maine Legislature, In strict
compliance with the law, is called "in
famous scoundrolism." The Radical
lexicon is constructed on the weather
cock principle. What a grand moral
ideal If John Doe (Domocrat) acts a
little crookod, it is pronounced an in
famous crime ; but Iiichard Roe (Re
publican) steals the Presidency, the
greatest larceny ever perpetrated in
this country, and his act is accepted by
"moral idea" vendors, as a proper
thing, Under the teachings of such
morals, whoro is the safety of life,
property or liberty on this Continont?
The ordinary highwayman is ft safer
character, in our judgmont.
Geographical Lies. Tbo Wash
ington correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Telegraph (J. V. C.) grasps geography
stalwartly, and if he is no more truth
ful on othor facte than on this, be will
soon rival KM Perkins as a liar. He
met his old friend Brigham, formerly
of the Pittsburgh Commercial, but now
a carpot-baggor in Florida, and quizzed
him about tho rebels down there. He
states that the Democrats' commit aw
ful frauds down there, and in terri
torial proportions, ho says: "Florida
is twice aa large as all Now England,
and throe times as largo as Pennsyl
vania, and yet it enly comprises two
Congressional districts, with vory little
means of communication with the ex
treme portions ol this vaat territory, so
that it takes a month to reach some por
tions of it," Pennsylvania has 40,000
square miles, and Florida 59,000. How
ia that for ft fact 7
Shebmar'i Follt. Mr. Secretary
Shorman's opposition to tbe three and
a half per cent, bonds may additionally
fortify him. as relatos to tho money-
lendors, but it cannot popularizo his
Presidential candidacy. Tho Ameri
can people have a profound conviction
that our Government ought to be able
to boirow money at the lowest rate
known among the nations. If France.
Germany, Kngland and Spain can bor
row money at three per cent., why
should the interest on United States
bonds be over throe and a half per
cent.? It is about time that the Gov
ernment stops coming in conflict with
the business man in the money mar
ket. Put Government bonds at three
and half per cent., then the citizen
can easily borrow money at six per
cent, and do business with safoty.

Grant, whiln President, had his son
Fred, stuffed into the Military Acade
my at West Point, ftro yean undor ago,
and while tboro bo rained h 11 gener
ally among the students, especially
with his negro mutes, and the officers
of the institution were oompolled, for
the sake of peace, to turn him out tiro
ycart before bis graduating period
arrived. Tho father's Socrctary of War,
(that poscy) Bolknap, instead ot send
ing Fred, adrift, actually mudo him a
Lieutenant Colonel, thereby promoting
tho young scamp over tho heads of of
ficers old enough in tho sorvico to bo
tho boy's father, and saddled him on
General Sherman's staff. This assign
ment did not lust long. Fred.'s con
duct on that stalT was in keeping with
that at West Point, and the Commander-in-Chief
soon informed General
Grant that ho must take bis rude son
off his sUff, or he would have him
court martialod for disobedience of or
ders. In fact, the boy acted as though
he was tbe senior Major General. Pres
ident Grant then assigned him to Gen
oral Phil. Sheridan's staff, at Chicago.,
lie was thoro but a short time until ho
"played tho fool" as he had before, and
tho Goneral, learning that Grant's Em
money so as to send Lim aroun'Tfte
world, prevailed on the fathor to shoi
dor bis son and tako him along. Tho
Colonel has not had a smell of the
army since, except to order his pay as
Lieutenant Colonel out of the Treas

to plant himself and his family and-all
his numerous relations upon tho tax
payers of tho country just as has Fred.

A ROOK Til A T Li NEEDED.
The Washington Post tells it plain
ly in this way: "The Military comit
too of the llousu will procure from tbo
War Department a detailed statement
of tbe number, rank and names of all
officers on tho retired liet, the total
amount paid to each officer, and tbe
aggregate paid to all officers on that
list since it was crcutod. A similar
report should bo obtained from the
Navy Department, and tho two should
be published in ono volume. Thore
should also be appended a truthful
sketch of the services performed by
each officer in tho catalogue,
"This book would create more pro
found astonishment among the plain,
practical tax-paying people than any
volume ever sent out ol the Govern
ment printing office. It would show
a rapid and alarming tendency to
copy the worse features of the old
world monarchies. It would contain
ft few names that will live while the
Republic endures and adorn tho bright
est pages of our history. Thoso lew
aro worthy of all that has been or can
be done to show tbe Nation's grateful
appreciation of brave men and gallant
deeds.
"We wish to state, Jinjibatieafly
D3iii!pokfi!l;m wnwin'oKoiull
worthy mon on both the active and
Tcllfwl -Jists of our army and navy.
We would not diminish thoir honors
or emoluments; would not deprive
them of any benefit or advantage,
present or prospective, that they aro
entitled to receive undor existing laws
and usages. But there are glaring
abusos in both these departments of
the publio service, and some of the
worst of these are bidden in tho re
tired lists.
"Men who never saw a publio ene
my, novor set a squadron in tho field
or trod tbo deck of a ship in action,
are dubbed with sonorous titles, idica-,
live of high rank heavy pay, and quar
tered for lilo, lifo of luxurious oaso,
on the retired list.
"Mon whose only titlo to respect is
illustrious ancestry, who novor served
tho publio efficiently in any capaoity,
who have been cared for al publio ex
pense from childhood, have been push
ed along the path of promotion with
railroad speed, in order that tboy
might bo put on the retired list at
high pay.
"And thoro they are, a select class
of genteel paupers, cherishing ft lufty
contempt for the brain that toils for
their luxurious subsistence, feeling ft
proud superiority to nil civilians, and
regarding the honor of their names as
more than ample compensation for the
money whieh tho country pays them.
"Men whose vices have disgraced
the service and so impaired them men
tally and physically that they could
not pass tho regular examinations for
promotion have been shoved on fo tho
retired list, to bo supportod for the
balanco of their unprofitable lives. We
stato tho facts, ugly though tboy are,
when we mako these allegation, and
thoro is no honest officer who will
deny our assertions.
"Let the lists, with all obtainable
data, go to the peoplo. Lot them see
bow rapidly this dims of expenditures
is increasing. And let them under
stand that rapid promotion and hurried
pushing on to the retired lists ia now
tho 'regular order ot business' in order
to make room lor the superfluous pro
ducts of the West Point and Annap
olis factories."
Had tor Blaine. The Radioals of
Blair county fired the first gun in this
campaign. They bold meeting to

Convention. An ontliusiastio Blaino
man offered a resolution Instructing
the delegates to vote for Hon. James
G. Blaino for Prosidcnt. The yeas
wore B, and the nays 70. The adjourn

THE MAINE QUESTION.
Thore is no better Democrat in New
England than John (juincy Adams,
lie has this to say about the "rumpus"
in Maino: "Gov, Garculon was bound
to execute thespiritol the law rather
than the letler, Had he dono that he
would have satisfied tbe people of his
State without distinction ol party and
bis own conscience. Ad it is ho has
made a fatal mntake, a sud blunder,
one that will havo an injurious effect to
the political partj to which he belongs.
1 am surprised tint Governor Gareelon
should have allowed himself to bo in
fluenced into such action, lie must
have had very bad counsel for it.
"If the members of the Legislature
who have been wronglully counted in
to the exclusion of those actually oloc
ted by tho peoplo will follow tbe advice
ofMr. Wilder Farley, of New Castle,
tbe aflair will be totllcd at once. T bey
had better decline to lake their seats
or at least resign thorn, when convinced
that their opponent obtained more
votes at the polls than they did. That
would be tho fair and manly course to
pursue, and justice would then be done
evon if tbe strict letler of tbe law was
not complied with. If M had been a
candidate and received a certificate of
alixitiin lit Ike, l enl!. - "
certain that my opponent obtained
more voles than myoelf, I would sooner
out my bund off than tako the proffered
soat. I should leal that 1 was taking
what did not Dclong to me.
, ,"1 wish to give my testimony against
tho - oonduct of the Republicans of
Maine in this matter. The conduct pi
Mr. Senator Blaine and bis bulldozing
Committee, who have boon hanging
about Augusta for the past month, is
simply disgusting, if anything, tboy
have made greater fools of themselves
than the Democrats. In fact it was
partly duo, in iny opinion, to their ac
tion in the earlier part of this affair
that Govornor Gareelon and his Coun
cil pursued tbe course they did. I
cannot say exactly what will be tho
result of tho business, but I hopo both
parties will not take onliro leave ot
tboir sonso8, and that they will govern
themselves according to law, ordor and
justice."
Cowardly.A cotomporary, in al
luding to the ttoniagogism of a high
official, says: "Commissioner Ranm
makes frequent and conspicuous parade
of the number of moonshiners in tho
South. His ovident purpose is to con
voy tho idea that most of the frauds
on the rovonuo are perpetrated In that
region. The fact Is, howovor, that a
thousand of these petty stills, running
on full timo fur a year, could not pro
duce as much whisky as a single big
Western distillery would run off In ft
wock. Tho great frauds aro not com
mitted by these wild mountain moon
shiners. Tlvoy violate tho law, it is
tme, and they should be punished.
But if one-halt the xoal and onergy
displayed in hunting them down wore
devoted to the woalthy and aristocrats
gentlemen who own the great whisky,
factories of the country, Mr. Raum's
bureau would show much bettor re
sults than have yet been attained. We
have no defense or apology lor any
class of men engaged in dolrauding
the Govornmont. Wt.carc not how
many of them are brought to grief.
Rut when Mr. Ituum directs all bis
forces to the detection, capture and
punishment of these moonsbining mioe,
be is giving the elephants or tbe pro
fession a fine chance to go on with
tboir crookedness."
Cross Views. There is a notewor
thy contrast between tbe lottors of
Charles O'Conor and Henator Bayard
to that Ksoex County Democratic Club.
Mr. O'Conor'a epistlo takes an exceed
ing gloomy view of political affairs.
11 o despairs of the Republic, and his
prognostications of the future are most
portentous. Senator Bayard, one the
othor band, is eminently hopeful, and
full ot that faith in American destiny
which is born of tho oourage of true
talomont. O'Conor is an imbecile,
or bo has turned Imperialist, although,
in former days, be was a sound lawyer
and a tealoua Democrat.
'o Flankino. Tha editor of the
llarrisburg Patriot seems desirous to
run the main question Into theology,
Hoar him f "The Supreme Court of
Maine socins to be able to donide al
most anything. Rob lngersoll should
submit his conundrum, 'Is there
llelir to that omniscient tribunal.
No doubt lb Maine Judges know all
about It" We suspect they believe in
Bob's theory j hence their unorthodox
decision.

" TR EA SON MADEODIO US."
A Washington telegram says: Tbe
friends of Colonel Mosby in Congress
are not satisfied with the situation in
which that gentleman has beon placed
by the publication of the correspond
ence relating' to the Chinese consulates.
Col. Mosby, it appears, has, outside
ot his official position, furnished Rep
resentative Ilunton with information
bearing upon other features of. this
question, and particularly relating to
and reflecting upon tbo official trans
actions of Minister Seward and tho
gciitleinon who were associated with
him in the Shanghai consulato, where
it is alleged, those peculations and ir
regularities existed and were carried
on without rebuke.
Representative Clymer, who suc
ceeded Mr. Springer as chairman of
the commitleo on expenditures in the
department of State, is determined to
rcnow this investigation immediately,
with a view to bring this long agitated
question to ft close. In transferring
the papers thia oommiltoe were author
ized to send for persons and papers,
and the investigation will now be car
ried on vigorously. If the result
rvacbei is tbe somo as in tbe Springer
investigation, articles of impeachment
ww ,rm euu w too noose ana ac
tion domanded at once. Socrctary
Evarts, in speaking of this matter, says
that he will make no ohange in Mr.
Seward's relations to the Government
in advance ot tbe termination of this
investigation, as be does not wish to
plaeo him beyond the reach of the
Govoinmont in case tbe allegations
against him are sustained. The state
ments that the resignation of Minister
Seward it In tbo hands of the Secre
tary, or that be has indicated a desire
to be relioved, are untrue, and wholly
without foundation.
Wicked Rhode Island. This Puri
tan Commonwealth has tbo most anti
Democratic and obnoxious laws on its
statute booksof any Stale in the Union.
A citixon must be tbe owner of real
estato before ho can reach the ballot
box. A contemporary says: "The
country has waited expectantly and
longingly sinco Congress convoned for
Mr. Anthony to show up good and
sufficient reasons for depriving old and
respected oitir.ons of Rhode Island of
the ballot wliuii thvy aro compelled to
soil tboir real estate, ft seems rather
hard that the fathor of a family cannot
volo, although be may have beon a
cititen of that Slate for fifty years,
while his sons may exercise tbe right
olsuffrago without impediment. Tboro
are many honest mon who do not think
the Slato of Rhode Island possesses
that Republican form of Government
hich the I onstitution says shall bo
guaranteed to each mcmbor of the
family ot Slates. Mr. Anthony might
do his State some servico by an olo-
quont defense of hor disfranchising
Constitution. And be might, also,
drop few wiso reflections on the
motives which influenced him to deny
"to foreigners the privileges conferred
on negroes by tho Fifteenth amend
ment."
Tni Correct View. Morally, the
State of Maine seems to be a much
disgraced recently aa Louisiana was In
1876, by hor Roturning Boards, assistod
by tho female, Pinkston, Jenks, Sher
man, Hayes A Co. In this Maine elec
tion fraud, no women have come to
the surface, but Blaine's substitute In
the bribery businoM, Wallaoe R. White,
stands specifically chargod in the affi
davits of Messrs. Swann and llarriman
with the crimo bf bribery, puts his
refusal to appear before the Investiga
ting Committee appointed by the
fusion House of Representatives on
grounds such as an honest and high
minded man who valued his good name
as his best possession would nover
think of insisting on. Wbother Mr.
W bite's assumption is correct or not
aa to tho right of tbe Fusion House to
command hia attendance, a man con
scious of his integrity, and smarting
under the stigma of a disgraceful ao-
ousalion against which he saw ft chance
to vindicate himself In conspicuous
manner beforo the world, would not
fall back like a enoak upon any such
excuse ur silence.
Well Said. An exchange remarks;
There ll no ribbing out of the fact
that the Republicans have placed tha
State ol Maine undor ft military dicta
torship. It is equally certain that the
Stalwart loaders would be quite as
ready to do tbe aame thing for the
whole country should they ever have
the opprrrtnnily.

This far-off Eastern Commonwealth
just now seems to attract as much at
tention as Louisiana did in 1870, and
it looks like extremes- meeting. Th
Governor, in his message, gives somo
wholcsomo advico to somebody as in
dicated by tho following telegram :
Auuuhta, Jan. 1, 1880.
Governor Smith, in his message re
ferring to tho present state of affairs
in Maine, says: "Tbe charges of vio
lence and intimidation in various Slate
elections I would refer to as a mailer
that causes groat anxiety in every pa
tiiotic breast. Evon in our own Stato
there are like chargos of fraudulent
and oppressive means employed to con
trol the action of voters, supported by
evidence too strong and direct to ad
mit of reasonable doubt that such is
tho lamentable lact; and further it is
too notorious to deny that, not con
tent with the employment of such
criminal method as charged in onr
elections, there was devised and actu
ally put id operation ft scheme to over
awe and intimidate our late chiof mag
istrate in the oonstitutionol and leral
discharge ol his high office. Tbe
firm and dignified manner in wbicb he
and bis councillors, undor abuse and
indignities heaped opon them, dis
charged their responsible duties in con
tormily with the Constitution, laws
and precedent established by hiepred
p885iviWoutocraiteiS",i,,1;Ji
citizens who truly have tho welfare of
tne niaio at heart. A practical denial
of the free right of suffrage or undue
influence over the exercise, of that
right, w bother effected by -bribes, bv
actual or threatened personal violence
or Dy. threats ol withdrawal ot em
ploy ment and patronage is equally ren-
rchensible. , 1 would recommend that
you first see that our own laws are so
framed as to protect the purity of the
uuiiut oui iu our own state; and soo
ond, that you express by declaratory
resolve the convictions of this legisla
ture m inai oenan.
He Knows How it is. Gen. George
6. McClellan, now Uovernor of tho
State of Now Jersoy, having filled a
high position in tbe army, knows
whereof he writes and speaks. Tbo
Philadelphia Record, in alluding to his
messago, says: "Gen. McClellan strikes
the key note of tho policy which should
direct the administration of our two
fold governmental system when he
says in his recent mossage to the New
Jersey Legislature that no conoossions
should be made which would tend to
impair the present absoluto control of
the State authorities over the National
Guard and militia in timo of peace, or
which would givo the General Govern
ment the slightest supervision over
any part of it, except under tho circum
stances providod in the Federal Con
slitulion. Ho considers tho allowanco
of such supervisions of tho State militia
as the most dangerous possible step
toward a change in our form of Gov
ernmcnt, and as one to bo steadfastly
resisted by evory State. This is sound
doctrine, and its utterance at this time
shows that tho gallant Now Jersey Gov.
ornor is a statesman us well asasoldier.
Toomanyof the men who have climbed
or crawled to important positions in

Government Strateot. It is said
that the wife of tba Fraudulent Presi
dent ia striotly lemporate in form and
fashion. As an illustration of this hot,
a Washington correspondent gives this :
"Ruthcrfbrd," said Mrs. Hayes one
pay-day morning, "I want a new seal
sacque, but I'll freeze 'lore I'll wear a
garment bought with money that was
paid in as taxes on vile, soul-dostroy-ing
liquor 1 Sotherol" And Rulhor.
ford bad to coax John Sherman to
give him a certificate that all the
money In Mr. Hayes' envelope was tho
proceeds of bond,alos.
Consolation. Tho Chambersburg
Spirit remarks : That athlotic fellow,
Don. Cameron, has jerked tho spinal
column out ol ovory Republican editor
in the Stale. It didn't take much of
wrench, eilhor. Thoro noed not be
the suspicion of an apprehension that
the Republican State Committee will
not do the biddjng of Don. Cameron.
Mr. Cameron has broad thumb and
"tbe boys" gather under It like a brood
of chickens under tbe hen's wing.
Converted. The editor of the 7ir
per'i WeeUy occasionally blundors on a
political idea which carries with it a
mack of sound sense, as witness the
following: "There art very many Ro.
publicans, especially ol Gorman birth,
who suspeot everything which seems
to point to imperialism." Why not
elaborate upon these line and inject
the tru Democratic American ideas
into your journal to th extout of col
umns, instead of your high-toned polit
ical iophislryf .
Recent Lxuai. IUi isions. An En
glish judgu bus decided that a set of
artificial teeth in not one of the "neces
saries" of a farmer's wife, which the
husband is bound to provido to pay
lor when furnished without It tea con
sent by ft dentist. The question bos
just been raised in one of tho comity
courts of Ireland whether tho Bible ih
a necessary of lifo to a married woman.
Tbo good wife, during tho temporary
absence of ber husband, bought a Bible,
bad it charged to bun, and then ran
away with anothor man. She soon
returned to hor husband, who received
ber, but obsliualely retimed to pay fur
the sacred volume which she bud pur
chased preparatory to her olopomont.
me ionnecucut court ot errors bos
held that neither pew in cburcb nor
religious instruction is among the
necessaries which a husband Is bound
to provide for bis wife. It has been
bold that a yoke of oxen, but not a
saddle horse, nor fiddle strings, aro
necessary lor a youth in Ins teens.
bile an hnglisb court dined to a
worthy farmer's wife tho neoessary and
very economical means ol enjoying her
roast beef, it has decided that $170
worth of lace and silver fringe for a
a petticoat and side saddle are necessa
ries to tbo wife of a sergeant. Tbe
Supremo Court of Illinois held in a
recent enso, that one revolver was
necessary to a Chicago grocer travel
ing, but thai more was superfluous.
Attempt at Wholesale poisonino.
Cincinnati, January 18. On Thurs
day uvenmg Mary Nunn, a colored
girl, living with Samuel Montgomery,
of Oborliti, Ohio, attempted to poison
his whole family. Shu hod been dis
covered in a petty theft, and severely
reprimanded by Mrs. MontR-cmery, in
revenge for which she put largo quan
tities ol ar.icnic, used lor rat poison,
into a dish of out meal prepared for
the family supper. Seven oul of the
nine at tho table ate this poisoned food,
and wore saved from death through
the fact that the girl bad been too lib
eral with the poison, thus producing
nausea, from which tho members of
the family have been suffering terribly
over since. The girl was arrested and
piaecil in jail.
Kxactlt. Senator Sharon, ono ol
the recognized leaders cf tho Republi
ran party, announces it as his deliber
ate opinion that as tbo wealth ol the
country bears tho burdens ot Govern
ment it should control it. The frank
ness of this declaration from a man
who is worth many millions of dollars
and who already holds the powerful
Stuto of California by the throat ia ex
ceeded only by lis insolence. Senator
Sharon, as might be snpposcd, demands
a "strong" Government to support Ins
theory and is in favor of Grant for a
third term

- Rather Hiiilical. The Washing
ton Post remarks : It isn't worth while
for the Graul managers to lose their
tcmpor and go to heaving dornicks at
Blaino and Shorman. They will thoro
by only got themselves and their
patron saint tho more disliked, without
chocking the molancholy decadence of

cheerful ermiles.
A terrible and destructive wiud
storm visited Portland, Oregon, and

proporty in that city to tbo amount of
$75,000. No lives woro lost, At Tay
Centre, V aslnngton Territory, a troo
was blown against a school house, do
molishing it. Twenty children wore
in the building, and two ot them a
brother and sister woro instantly
killed.
Rkiht. Tho Washington 'out' say
"On tho question of appropriating
money to pay a corps of Radical bull
doners to manage tbe Stato elec
tions of 1880, there will bo no con
cession on the part of majority in Con
gress. Tho position taken at tbo ex
tra session will be firmly maintained
and will be approved by the peoplo,"
A Hum toned Rascal. The man
who upholds his noighbor for stealing
a Governor (Maino) and assisted to
steal a President In 1870, is what may
be called a high toned Radical in 1880;
and ho will pick anything up ho finds
in the shape of an office. Look out
tor such patriots I ' Tboy all prefer
an Empire to a Republic
An Idea. Tho editor of the Boston
itaf.locatcd in tho midst of the land flow
ing with "grand moral ideas," injects
Ibis piece into his columns over tho
Maine case: "We pity the party of
moral ideas.' It must bavo boen quite
a shock to it tender sensibilities when
the bribory case in Maino woro
brought to light.' "
Exactlt. Thoedilorof the Atlanta
(Geo.) Constitution caught tho editor
of tho Now York Timet on the wing,
the other day, in this way : "Are the
people honoBt ?" asks tho Now York
Timet. Outside of the Republican
party we are glad to say tboy are
reasonably honest Surely tho Times
oould export no more.
"Loyal" Palms. A successful bar-
tor for tbe Presidency seems not to
have satisfied tho Republicans. The
news from Maine shows they have beon
trying to secure control thero by bri
bery. A nation robbed and a Stale
polluted ar two of the palms of victory
that party may woar.
Moral Indignation. Tbe attitude
of the Now York Tribune on tho cor
ruption attempted in Maine ia beauti
ful. and dignified. It threatens to
"point the fingor of scorn" at th would,
be bribers. Hut it isn't going to he in
a hurry about it.

THE TRUE VIEW OP OUR SYS
TEM OP GO VERS MEN T.
Thooditorol Iho Philadelphia Record
in reviewing the Maine case, given the
following orthodox views on our sys
tem, llosnyi:
Constitutional jurisprudence, as ex
pounded by tho American text-writers ,
without a solitary exception, deals
with three divisions ot sovereignty as
formulated in the Federal organic law.
Thoso are the Legislative, tba Execu
tive and tho Judicial Departments of
Republican Government. This distri
bution of fundamental power is recog
nized, not only in the National Consti
tution, but In tbe Constitution of the
States? and it ia the indispcnsible
frame-work of our free institutions. No
publicist or statesmen has, until re
cently, appeared 1n this country, who
bold tnut mere were any olber pri
mary department of authority save
these three. It, was reserved tor the
remole and hitherto comparatively
obscure and modest Stale of Maine,
away down cast whero tho sun has to
bo pried up wan a crowbar every
morning, to make the remarkable dis
covery that everybody bos for tho last
century been laboring under a great
mistake in accepting as exhaustive tho
expositions of Kent, Marshull, Story
and other ulleged jurisconsults. These
emiiijpt gentlemen have persistently
niiuniiuously given the people of the
United Slate to understand that the
military power was, under all supposa
ble circumstances, subordinate to the
civil authority, and that it was in fact
merely a branch of tho Executive De
partment. This theory is now dis
puted, and Maine is the headquarter
of tho now departure in our political
ethics. Cutler tho ' new system
which savors, however, of the old
fashioned ultima ratio regum, and may
therefore be, like other supposed new
notions, only a resurrected doctrino
tho military power is supreme, and the
toga and everything else must givo
way to it. The actually-organized
militia of.Maine docs not amount to
much, even upon paper ; but it can, of
course, bo extended to inclndo every
malo citizon of military age capable ot
bearing arms in the whole Slato. At
present, however, there is scarcely
enough ot it to make a decont old
fashioned "muster." It is suggestive
of tho skeleton regiments of t'ataline
or of Falstafl's heterogeneous recruits.
But with its indefinitely-expansive
possibilities, it is capable of a good
deal ot mischief when it is once set
going.
Mujor General Chamberlain ia claim
ed by those who best know him to be
a prudent and honorable ironlloman.
and it may be that his urrogation of
authority, undor "Special Order No.
45" of tho officially defunct Governor
Gareelon, has prevented a collision at
Augusta, and probably elscwbero in
the State, hetwocn the Republicans
and tho Kuaionist. The character of
the man, howevor, is not tbe point to
be looked at. Many a dictator has
boon personally a very fine fellow.
Tho trouble is in tbe precedent, which
is a manifestly dangerous one. The
example set by Goneral Chamberlain
may bo followed in other States by
men not so scrupulously just and sale
as ho is. What is now transacting in
a small way may, in a not impossiblo
juncture of events, be transferred to
the largo field of national politics. If
it is allowable for General Chamber
lain to set himself up as a dictator in
Maine, thoro would be equal reason for
General Sherman to assume provision
ally tbo control of affairs at Washing
ton in the caso of ft disagreement be
tween tho two parlies relative to tbe
counting of the Prosidcnliul volo in
February, 1881. It is with reference
to such a usurpation on a lariro scale. ,
wntcn mignt betray the liberties of the
people and inaugurate a despotism of
the word, that the affair in Maine ii
significant of peril.
The True Wat. It is a needless
waste of time for Congress to pass Bills
removing political disabilities in indi
vidual cases. A general amnesty act
ought to be introduced and put
through. It would find few oppo
nents. Sew Sxtxtistrnttiit.
