THE IXDIAXA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING,. APRIL 17; 1878.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17. THE JOIKXAL'N DOl CJlIi'AC ES. The Journal was impudent enough the t)ther day to speak ot the democratic masses of the north aa doughfaces, and charged that they always bad and always would obey the behests of the southern wing of the party. The democratic party is the only party whose principles can be applied to and made to cover every section of our common country. It is the party of the people, in their Interest and not in the interest of the money sharks of foreign countries or our own. Any man who loves bis whole country and wants to se the principles of justice and honesty practiced by all our people toward each other, politically aa well as in private transactions, is a democrat, and he has no business in any other organization. We do not desire to fight the war over again, . but we can not refrain from reminding the Journal that northern democrats, when the alternative of waror disunion was presented, when the government was in danger, ignored party, and fought gallantly and well until the fag of the Union was restored and respected all over this land. It conies with a bad grace from an organ that has always been conducted in the interest of the moneyed aristocracy of this country and Kurope, that has defended and upheld as right the robberies that the sharks and their tools have committed on the people 'of this country, to decry democrats, and charge them with being sycophants and slaves to their southern brethren. When the war was ended the democrats beat their swords into plowshares and returned to the walks of peace. The republi- -can party debauched public morals, oppressed the vanquished, and in the rtame of loyalty robbed whole states, bankrupting entire peoples, and instigated crimes that they might bear false witness against their brethren, who could only protest against their monstrosities. The democratic party began exposing their corruptions, and when the people saw and understood the whole sale villainies they had committed .they arose in their might and hurled them from office. They can never forgive them or the democratic party for their loss of power. "We can submit to being called doughfaces, for an epithet (rom such a source is only an evidence of the justice of our principles, But we would like before dismissing this subject to ask the Journal to name any democratic president who ever bayoneted state constitutions; who ever used the army In time of peace to sustain his party in power; who ever joined a ring of unprincipled money sharks to rob the people by vicious legislation out ot hundreds of millions of dollars; who ever vetoed nieaiures of relief for the toiling millions that the bondholders might coin more gold from their very life blood ; who ever to gain place and power violated his honor as a soldier and the confidence of his superior to gain political advantage for his party. Put your finger on one democratic senator to whose hands Lave stuck sordid gold gained by credit mobilier schemes and throttling state governments. Name one democratic senator who was so false to liberty and so lacking in devotion to the principles of his government that he advocated the ruling of states by military law in time of peace, and the subversion of citizens to a state of vassalage. Show ns one. who has sought to retain office for himself and power for his party by arraying section against section. , If the Journal would devote itself to show ing up the enormous thieving of its own party and exposing the faithlessness of its leaders, it would have no spare time to spend in endeavoring to fasten false names on the democracy. We despair of ever seeing the Journal come out with manliness on these subjects, and the task, herculean as it is, of exposing the villainies of Its party, we will continue to perform until the people will hurl it from all its abiding places in the government of this country, and bury it in a grave of contempt, '"unwept, unhonored and 'unsung." KEKUMPTIOX JAM AKY I, 179. The action of the senate finance committee in regard to resumption is attracting deserved attention. A majority of the committee, it is reported, will oppose the repeal of the resumption law. The senators on the committee who oppose the repeal are Messrs. Morrill, Ferry, Allison, Bayard, Dawes and Kernan. While opposing the repeal of the law it is stated that an amendment will be introduced to the house bill making legal tender notes receivable for all purposes after January 1, and, in addition to this, providing against any further contraction of the currency. No further relief to the country can now be hoped for trom congress, and the probabilities are that John Sherman's plans will be carried out It is well understood that Hayes would veto the bill repealing the resumption law should it pass, and it is quite as certain that he will veto the bill as the senate proposes to amend it, and business men may as well make up their minds hrst as last to face tne situation. The country is thoroughly advised with regard to the prostrate condition of business. There is positively no such thing as exaggerating the situation. Bondholders and money sharks are the only persons that are benefited by the widespread ' ruin that confronts observing men on all sides. Failures follow each other in rapid succession; bankrupts multiply in every direction. The curse of shrinkage is still operating upon all descriptions of property, and those things combining with debt, taxation and interest make the immediate outlook more gloomy than ever. It is believed by honest men of all parties that vicious legislation has set in operation the forces that have been productive of business disasters, and it is believed that wise legislation would contribute immensely to the restoration of business prwperity. The democratic party, in and out of congress, has labored to bring about beneficent results, and the people will be likely to make a note of the facts. Unfortunately the radical senate deprived the silver bill of some of its most important features, making it less powerful for good than democrats designed it should be, and now that it is underdJcrstood that the , iniquitous re

sumption law is to remain on the statute books the last hope for immediate relief perishes. It should be understood that for this state of things the radical party

is responsible, and that bo long as it can control legislation the country will be subjected to such embarrassments as Shylocks may choose to impose. What the interests of the people demand is the repeal unconditionally of the resumption law. This would at once have the effect of arresting John Sherman's scheme for enriching himself and other Shylocks, provided Hayes withheld bis threatened veto. If it come, however, then the issue would have been squarely made before the country, and the people being able to comprehend the situation would have been in a position to have rebated those who disregarded their misfortunes. The further action of congress will be watched with intense solicitude, for with another year of business prostration new difficulties may be anticipated, compared with which past calamities have been unimportant. KEPl'ULICAX CHEEK. With an effrontery of cheek that popular opinion has long since decided could belong only to a life insurance agent, the Journal claims that the success of Sherman in plac ing $o0,000,000 of bonds, and the acts of a few banks in paying out gold, aided by the benefit derived from the passage of the sil ver bill, puts the republican party on its feet, vindicates their policy and insures an era of prosperity to the country. One would suppose that the Journal had I always advocated these things, and that it had never denounced the silver bill, or stigmatized it as a democratic measure and a step backward, instead of forward, in the march to prosperity. One would suppose that every blow struck at the prosperity of the country in the past decade had been fjiven by the democracy, and that the wrecks that have strewn the shores of the business world, and that are yet going to pieces on the treacherous break ers of adversity, were piloted by democratic statesmen. The financial helm of the gov ernment has been in the hands of the re pub lican party for eighteen years. They have sailed the people from the sea of prosperity into that Dead sea of starvation, where the ripe fruit of energy and well directed labor turned to ashes on their lips, and wrecked the frugal savings of the people on the shore of greed and oppression, where the money sharks swallowed them. And now, when by the efforts of the democracy a halt has been called and the nation once more directed into the natural highways of pros perity, and light begins to break on our financial horizon, and hope is revived in the hearts of the people, and confidence adds courage and strength to the willing bands of tolling millions, the Journal claims for its party the wisdom that directed the change and the credit that belongs to its success. We have had an idea that it was republican "statesmen" who passed the bill making certain bonds payable in 'juhl, when the contract stipulated that they were payable in the currency of the country. We had an idea that it had been shown that the change in the law made a difference of clnht lunvlri-d in id ions of dollar wjalnst the people, and that the money sharks paid only fifteen millions to have it passed. We had an idea that the credit mobilier scheme, that swindled the government out of millions and lined the pockets of republicans with gold, was incubated in the republican party and hatched out by republican statesmen. We had an idea that the interests of the Union Pacific railroad were in the special keeping of the republican party, and rumor has whispered that a few of the statesmen of the "God and morality party" were its paid advocates in its swindling operations against the government. We had an idea that the "plumed knight'' of "Mulligan" fame, he of the "shining 'lance," always ready for a tilt with the democracy in the interest of booty, was a republican. We had an idea that the "Chris'tian statesman," he of Sunday-school fame, whose countenance was always irradiated by a beatific smile, was a republican, and foremost in the works that brought glory to the party and pelf to the pockets ot the leaders. We had an idea that the robberies of the southern states, in which over two hundred of millions of money was taken from tbpse people in the name of loyalty to enrich the villains of "the party of progress," were republicans. We had an idea that it was republicans Who prostituted justice, exalted forgery and defended perjury that political success might reward their labors and retain them in power. We had an idea that it was republican leaders, taints In the temple of republican worship, who established freedman's savings banks, absorbed themselves the meager savings of the poor negro, whom they claimed as their wards. Wc had an idea that a party professing to emorace the elements' of morality, Christianity and progress in their ranks would spew from their fellowship the rascals that brought such discredit to the American name. Cut tbot; engaged in these crimes who were followers arose to be leaders. Success in rascality was the test of merit, and the ladder to climb to honorable position and virtuous influence. We must be mistaken in all this. It has been the democratic party that has done all this thieving, indorsed all these corruptions, committed all these crimes. It must have been the democratic party that worshiped at the feet of Grant and allied him great while they pocketed uncounted millions of the people's money.' It must have been the democratic party that established and continued military governments in the south that human ghouls might fatten on spoils taken from those people. It must have been the democratic party that has been engaged in arraying the north against the south and planting anew the seeds ot bate that distrust might flourish and poison the minds of the people against each other. We must have been dreaming these things concerning the republican party, and when oppressed by . the horrid nightmare such dreams occasion, wrongfully charging these crimes upon them. - We, however, submit the decision of this question to the people of Indiana, who will at the coming election decide by an overwhelming vote who has been faithful to their interests and who has played the role of "the unprofitable servant," and played it to such perfection that they cot only hid the

talent for which he was called to account, but pilfered without respect to persons all

The Need of the Time. To the Editor of the Sentinel: Sir It is said that when we were the most prosperous, about 1S72 and 1S73, that there was only about from three to five per cent, of inouey to from tioto!t7per cent, credit that entered into and did the business. If this is true is it anything wonderful that business should ba stagnated with all that great amount of credit that was used as a medium cf exchange, now almost entirely withdrawn, with the entire volume of money currency in circulation then, now locked in vaults of the banker. What is left for the people to make their exchanges with? If we desire prosperity, with these facts before us, are we not displaying a very small amount of business fcagachy in demanding specie resumption? If it were possible, (which I deem questionable), to revive business today, or this, or next year, what amount ot money would enter the business channels? Certainly not more than did in our former prosperous times. Then, if not, we would again have to resort to that unstable, business destroying credit currency. All men demand that credit in business shall cease, and yet alargj proportion of the same class demand specie resumption. What do men think of? and when do they intend to stop this wild financial hobby? Let the public think more of their business and less of bonds and gold, :hich they now come in contact with, and demand of their servants proper legislation in the interest of business and production, and we will bear no more of hard times, panics, and skilled mechanics and laborers will be known no more as dishonest tramps.

GLANCE AT THE SENATE.

The Changes of a Brief Decade. Bat Two Senators Remaining- Who fcnw tne Kouttiern Senator Itetlre Sketches of Prominent Members oT t lie Roily Tn ionld-lInnt-log-ton Ijobby Tne loUllcal Sltnutlon. Editorial Cor. Philadelphia Times. Washington, April (J. What a change a decade has wrought in the United States senate. Since the close cf the memorable reconstruction battle with President Johnson, I have rarely been a visitor to the national caDital, and I pain fully realized tbe havoc time had made among the statesmen of the republic, as I spent an hour yesterday in the gallery surveying the body whoe records in iU better days are among the brightest of the annals of free government. (Juste half the faces were stranga to roe, and those which were yet familiar, have all been more or less shadowed by the llight of year?. Of the great leaders in the struggle for the preservation of the Union, Hamlin and Anthony only remain. True, Conkling and Blaine have seen continuous service in tbe councils of the nation since the war began, but neither was in the senate until the struggle had ended. In vain does the visitor of 10 years ago look for Sumner, Fessenden, Wilson, Wade, Trumbull and their compsers who were the authors of the measures which made freedom the jewel of a free people, an 1 equality before the law for every condition and race the irrepealable mandate ot the republic. Hamlin left the floor of the senate to enter the yice president's chair at the opening of the war, and he and Anthony now Bit in tbe body solitary and alone, of the men who witnessed the departure and the return of the senators from the rebellious states. Although bowed in form and rudely furrowed in face, the venerable senator from Maine is vigorous and active in the discharge of his public duties, and is one of the most intolerant partisans of the body. Anthony is fat and feeble; the fire of his eye is dimmed and his step is slow and measured. He entered the body in 1350, and is the oldest member in uninterrupted service, although Hamlin scores more years of senatorial experience. Howe entered the senate with tbe inauguration of Litcoln, but he has been a follower, not a leader, and he will retire without leaving his impress upon the policy or statutes of the country. He is well preserved and his tall, slender form, with its silver crown, looks as if time and tbe cares of .slate had united in gentleness toward him. VES PICTURES OF SHXATORS. The notable feature of the senate, to one who has been familiar with the body ten years ago, is tbe many new faces to the extreme right of the chair. There are Gordon, and Hansom, and Maxey, and Morgan, and Hill, and Lamar, and Butler, and Withers, all ex-confederate chiefs, now legislating for the government they rebelled Against, and they rival their opponents on the opposite side of the chamber in conservative national views. The magnetic men of the body evidently are Blaine on the republican side and Gordon cn the democratic side. Both are of the nervous temperament, genial in intercourse, keen at repartee and always ready for the fray. Blaine, Gordon and Lamar are sitting in a group, the great .republican leader leaning over the desk of the Georgian warrior on oce tide and Lamar bending to both from the other side, chatting in a manner so friendly and jovial that the devotee of the b'oodv shirt would chill in his hero worship of Blaine, could he see how fraternal the blue and the gray can be in the amenities of the senate. Cockling enters from the rear of the chair and his finely chiseled features, graceful bearing and unconcealed sense of superiority could not fail to arrest the attention of the visitor. His golden hair has lost its luster as the frosts have been busy at their work, and be lacks the ruddy freshness he brought into the senate, but he is unimpaired in vigor and imperious aa only a Conkling can be since the days of Clay. He beckons the youthful lookincAllison.of Iowa, to a private talk, and tae two take a good, eld fashioned country lean against the door jam while Conkling tells his story and pares the nails of bi3 exquititely modeled fingers. Dick Oglesby, the rolicking campaigner of Illinois aDd one of the bravest of warriors frcm the prairie land, sits quietly in his seat. His head ha3 whitened like the unsunned snow, but his face is yet fresh and unplowed by age or care. Ferry steps in from the eastern door like a dancing master, strokes his long, glossy beard as he struts along the aisle, pauses to give ample time for the play of the admiration of the galleries, and then takes his chair with self-satisfaction written all over bis, by no means, strong face. Patterson comes in with hurried, defiant step, bis head thrown back over tbe perpendicular line, and drops into his seat unnoticed. His wealth of golden hair is deeply silvered now and his features are sharp and pale as if they knew little ot health or content. Olf to his right is the round, dusky face of Bruce, of Mississippi, the youngest senator, I believe, and the only representative of the colored race in the body. He is a light mulatto, self Kssessed, intelligent and graceful in all bis movements. Lamar, his colleague, Iooko sluggish beside the restless Gordon, but be is able to cope with any in debate. Burnside came in without his skull cap, displaying his shiniDgbald crown and nowsnow white Burnside whhkers. He has grown uncomfortably Etout, and waddles about tbe senate duck fashion, although his stateliness of form and faultlesscss of attire remain with him. Cameron is absent off to New York to prepare tor his coming marriage with the beautiful and cultivated .Miss Sherman, of Ohio, but Wallace is in his place and looks from the gallery like the youngest ot the members. His quiet, dignihea reserve well becomes the now one of the leading directing the democratic eenciea. Tburman is senate, and he is party oracles in side in all emeresteerued abler, but he is sluggish, and only once in a while is great. He moves about lazily and swings his red Bilk handkerchief awkwardly as a well to-do country farmer. The senate is quite thin, most of the republicans being absent, and Sirgent, of California, has tbe floor on some naval bill that is undergoing amendment, and the only participants in the work are the senator and the vice president, who declares Sargent's vote to be tbe vote of the senate. Wheeler, presides with little grtco and wears an uncomfortable look, but it may.be that Washington life does not agree with him. He "acks the ability of Coifaz and Wilson as a presiding ofiicer. THE LOBBY IN THE SENATE. The time was when thd lobby was a stranger to the United States senate, but today it is the favorite field of the jabber who can come with the resources of a Huntington or Gould. The recent protest of Edmunds and Thurman cgainst the encroachments of the lobby in the senate, and the startling disclosures they made on the floor, have disabled the lobby somewhat, but it was strong enough yesterday to carry an adjournment over Thurman on the railroad funding bill. The bouse, with all its many sins, has thus far escaped the contamination of the lobby, and it is admitted that Thurman's funding bill, requiring the Pacific railroad plunderers to pay the government what they owe it, will pass the popular branch if the senate will -send it there. Gould and Huntington wander through the corridors of tbe senate and look upon the performances of their dependents frora the galleries every hour the body is in session, and if they shall be routed It will be a signal triumph for

public intejTity. They are now employing the millions they have plundered from the treasury to defeat a competing highway across the continent and to prevent the passage of any bill requiring them to pay their honest debu to the government. THE POLITICAL SflTrATIOS. . I conld add nothing to what I telegraphed last night relative ti the political situation. I heard the administration side pf the issu"? from the president and several members cf his cabinet, and the views of the unplacables are on their sleeves all the time. If Presi

dent Hayes has one sincere supporter in ' enner ine senate or nouse l nave been unable to see or hear of him. The policy of the republicans is settled to ignore the adminia tration, and Blaine will lead the party awav from Hayes as Clay did the whigs from Tyier, the only difference bein that tbe reEublicans rill not denounce Hayes, but pass iiu by as no longer a factor in the political struggles of the day. Whether it will win. j ;uuuicui iu uc urt:ucu n il iue j rusts and hoarse murmurs of November shall have come. A. K. M. Kin ml Fast In the Democratic Faith. Such is the advice of the New York Star, in a long and able article, in which it shows that the democratic voter should bear in mind before attaching himself to the "workingtnan's party," or the "greenback party," or the '"national party."' or to any inde pendent organizition whatever, that there are but two great political parties in this country to-day, and that its interests for an indefinite period will be controlled by either one of them. Oar people are so much the creatures of habit that they do not break away from the organization with which they have been accusiomed for years to act unless there is some momentous cause operating to divert their sympathies. The reasons which have led to the independent politic d movements above referred to do not constitute puch a momentous cause. The great body of voters are not shaken in their allegiance by the the theories that underlie the "workingmen's," "greenback" and "naticnal" organizations. It is obvious, therefore, tint the future policy of the nation is still to be determined by the issue of the coming contests between the democratic and republican parties. In certain localities the independents may occasionally achieve a victory, where there is no other than a purely local question at issue, but when commanding national or state interests are at stake, the vast majority of the people will array them selves under the old familiar standards, and fight the battle under the leaders whose skill, judgment and powers they have been accustomed to respect. In the next presidential election tte real battle will be waged between democrats and republicans, and any outride organizations will be as useless as the fifth wheel to a coach. It is therefore the duty of democrats to stand by their party, which is the friend of the workiegman, aad through its powerful instrumentality alone can be achieved the rights for which he sighs and struggles. Ever since the war that party has been doing good missionary work in the republican camp, and succeeded in converting tens of thousands. It is stronger to-day than ever, and is daily increasing that strength. It holds the house of representatives now, and next year will hold the senate. In 1SS0 it will elect the president of the United States, and "by the Eternal," inaugurate him, too, the following March. I pon the very eve of its restoration to power, it would be the height of folly for the workiegman, whose patience has been tried by years of defeat, to desert the only flag that can truly shelter him, and cast his lot with the Philistines cr the stranger. Let him rather persevere a little longer in the old faith, and whose harbingers re already visible in "streakicg3 0f morning light" that suffuse tbe whole eastern horizon of democracy. Exchange. A Fresh Trlnl Demanded. New York Sun. Some of our contemporaries seem to suppose that Anderson, of New Orleans, can not be tried a,;aln for publishing as true and using in ttie official compilation and canvas3 of the votes ot Louisiana, the forged consolidated statement of the parish of Vernon This is net so. On appeal to the superior court, his trial was held to be a nullity, b?cause it was not charged in the indictment that the acts of Anderson were done in an official opacity. Now such a mistrial a this was Leld to be is, in the contemplation of the cot stitution, no trial. It is no bar to afresh tiial. The law on this subject is stated by two high authorities as follows: "If tbe Indictment was so far defective tha no valid judgment could be rendered upon it the accused may niriilii le put upon trial ujoa the. same faeis berore charged esa nst him, and the proeeedinirshad will constitute no protection." Cooley, "constitutional limitations," 317. "Where a judgment has been arrested or reversed lor any defect In the indictment, a new one may be referred correcting the errir, and tne former can not be pleadeu In bur." "Wharton on crlmlual law " I. sec. &'1. Anderson is liable also for a conspiracy to mike a false count of the votes, which in itself is a criminal offense by the laws of Louisiana. By all means let Anderson be tried for one or both of these offenses. In tha single matter of the Vernon parish forgery he is now liable to two indictments. The indictments he would be liable to for other frauds in respect to the votes of other precincis and parishes are countless. Then there is J. Madison Wells, president of the returning board. Littlefield, the clerk who committed the Vernon forgery, swore before Mr. Morrison's committee, and also before Mr. David Dudley Field's committee, that he raade the alie rat ion by the express order of AVells. This testimony, corroborated by the admissions of Anderson and Wells before tbe sams committee, and by many facts established by independent testimony, shows thut Welis was the real forger. We may expect justice to be ballled for a while when the whole power and iniluence ofthefo leral government are exercised for that object, but truth will at length prevail. Attorney General Ogden has shown vigor and ability, and if he persists in the same spirit he must at last completely succeed in vindicat'Jig the rights of the peoDle of Louisiana. The Itri and Their Administration. New York Tribune. There is a disposition to quarrel with the administration. Men eay thaC they will either ojenly &csail it in state convention or ignore it. The platforms of state conventions do not seem to us to have greet weight, but there are voters who do not understand tbe philosophy of platform manufacture. If republicans see tit to ignore their own administration in their state platforms, that is a matter cliielly interesting to them, and we do rot know why it should be interesting to anybody else. As for assailing the administration, that is a different niatver. Republican members of congress an 1 managing politicians may as well understand that they can not get rid of responsibility for this administration. Whether they like it or not it was elected by their votes; it shapes its action in accordance with the formal pledges of the party; aud it stands, and evidently means to stand, as a republican administration to the end. To get rid of it is not easy. People think that these who elected an administration are fairly responsible for it, whether it pleases them or not. It Is Depressing-. Philadelphia TImes.1 The Cincinnati Enquirer brings out a new candidate for the presidency every day now, and some days two. It is depressing to observe that they are all Ohio men, because, if it is just tbe same to the great democratic organ o.? tbe west, the country has had all the Obi ) president it cares about for some time. Label your candidates carefully and put the n away Until the present is wiped out of tie memory of mankind.

SIR JOHN FRAXKMX AGAIN.

An Interview With Lieutenant Sruwat ka, Round for the Polar Itetrlont. "Yes. I hope in June to start In search of the remains of Sir John Franklin," said Lieutenant Schwatta, V. S. A., to a Tost reporter last evening at the Ebbitt house. "Last summer, you may remember, a whaling fleet brought down some eilrer spoons and other relics of Sir John Franklin, which had been given them by the Eskimo in King William's land. At the tame time they spoke of a cabin which had been built by the "great captain," as they called Franklin, from which these thiDgs had been obtained, and where they said were a number of bodies. The Eskimo said that a portion of the country was occupied by th Nacbillas, a fierce, war like tribe, of whom they were afraid. This intelligence was discussed by tfce New York geographical oA-iciv at uue ui meir iuteiings er.u excilea a great deal of interest.

We hope to recover principally the log book and the records and will find many relics scattered about in that locality. The reward offered by England of $:o,0?) for the recovery of Sir John Franklin is now withdrawn. But Lady Craycroft, the daughter cf Lady Franklin.'still offers a reward ot $20,000. Of course I do not care for the money. I am after the honor of the thing. The secretary of war has granted me leave of absence, and a bill will shortly be introduced in congress by which I can get leave of absence on full pay. While many attempts have been made tbey have met with but partial success, and the less of the Franklin party still remair.3 shrouded in mystery a mystery ot now tuirty-tLree years." io remittent Thief flaking-. Brooklyn Eagle. Mr. Kvarts is all wrong in Lis theory of diplomacy and its needful or ealutary expenses. What this country needs at home and abroad are officials who will tct the example of living within their income, no matter what social denials or abatement of display it involves. Mr. Evarts pays out his whole salary for rent aud lets it be known that he does. His legal right to do to is as unquestioned as the elegance of the hospitality which he maintains by his fortune. Yet the best repast he spreads bfor Lis guests is made up of his wit, his cordiality and his learning, and while they earn hici more than hi3 salary six times multiplied outsule of his office, the talary annexed to hia offlce is ample for Cue necessaries and the desirable luxurieseven of 1m station. His influence, if he sturdily toted down instead of colored up display at the capital, would be twice as excellent, even if it were less than hali as extensive, as it now is. Mr., Fish's-rate of living was the fact which operated enviously on the characters of the Belknaps and of Kobeson, to in-sko them plunderers. As to the English, French end other missions, James Bucnanau and George Milllin Dallas in England, and Charles J. Faulkner and William L. Dsytoa in France, lived within their salaries cn principle, and they were the ablest as well as the "bet" and the most influential plenipotentiaries we have had abroad in modern times. The whole theory that our envoys must epend a fortune to be on a'parity of iniluence wilh other envoys is a theory of shoddy, and cur recent appointments heve been made in pursuance of that theory. Statesmen or scholars who maintain themselves with simplicity and within their pay abroad will have twice the reality of influence of those vthose p.werty of character or intellect Las to be tclipsed under a blazs of expenditure and display. The great force in thief makin in ouj system in late years has been the idea that our officials must somehow or other keep up as much splendor as tnose who are made by governments quite differently modeled trom ours are paid to do. Mr. Evarts' theory is un-American and demoralizing, aiid while bis practice is his own business, that is unAmerican, too. Ancient and Modern Customs. Modern customs, like the races, find their origin in the gloom of paganism. Civilization has done much to modify both, yet is there sufficient left to tell of their significance and origin. It is said fit. Ta trick banished from Ireland all the snakes. Far back into the centuries that people had a licentious form of worship; one of their emblems was the cross entwined by the serpent, an emblem of desire. St. Patrick, on the introduction of Christianity, banished this heinous euiMem (the serpent), leaving the cross alone as the Christian sign. Such is the origin of this myth. Good Fiiday and Easter Sunday were originally annual Chaldean feasts, celebrated in honor of the goddess Easter ( Ishtar), the virgin mother of nature, to whom small cakes, marked with a cress, were offered; they were called "bouus" (buns). On Easter Sunday colored eggs, as' to-day, figured in their mysteries, and at the tame period of the year, viz , the spring equinoxes. This feast dates back l..r0J years B. C. The season of Lent was an ancient Egyptian feast, held sacred for 40 days, during the period their "sun goi" was parsing from the zodiacal sign Aquarius to the Lamb of eprine, the reproducer of a new creation. At this period nothiDg but fish was permitted to be eaten. Friday, with many ancient nations, was kept sacred to the queen of heaven, and, the fish being one of her emblems, the priests made it a law that ber devotees eat nothing but fish on Friday. Tbe custom, though pagan, is still cherished among us. J. Cooper, in Jersey City Times. Kirk or No Kirk. There Is a free fight going on all round Scotland as to the question of disestablishment as to the when and how. Dr. Bhin is raging up and down the country against it; but he has met with his match in controversy, and the fight is waxing warm. On this subject an excellent repartee has been bandied about. To the taunt flung out from the state Kirk camp, The Free Kirk, tbe wee Kirk, The Kirk without the steeple," the ready response of a Free Kirk minister was, "The au"d Kirk, the cauld Kirk, The Kirk without the people. Tne Way to Bring Ont tbe Fireworks. Let a young gentleman and a young lady try the following scientific eiperimtnt: A galvanic battery is set in motion, and while he takes one handle in one ot bis hr.ds, she takes the other in one of hers.
