THE Boston Advertiser (republican) tells the pithy truth about the New Hampshire defeat. It says: “The cause was this: that the term republican has lost its old time significance, and, instead of being a name to conjure by, has become—it is scarcely too much to say—a load to be carried.”

Tur FErie railroad company has finally paid off the striking workingmen at Susquehanna Depot. The sum of $102,000 was q@e these men—s46,ooo~, for March and $56,000 for Februa';ﬁy.. All the men were declared discharged, though the company offers to re-employ 500 of their number, The loss sustained by the Erie is stated at nearly one million dollars. If this be true, the company acted very foolish (to say nothing of the injustice) in keeping laboring men out of their hard-earned wages,

THE NECESSITY gro nolr(vn. SERVICE RE- * Much has been said and written, in a general way, upon the necessity of a thorough reform in the civil service of the country. Yet, comparatively few have gone to. the trouble of bestowing that attention upon this subject which its importance so richly merits. An apt ilustration of the abuses which now disgrace the civil service has recently come tolight, and in the hope that popular attention will at last be attracted, we submit a case in point: One Richard J. Hinton, of Washington, having been dismissed from, the pension office on the charge of “not having performed any “duty as clerk for a year or two,” that much injured and highly indignant individual comes forward with a personalexplanation. He makes an affidavit in which he states that he was placed on the pay roll of the pension office at a salary of $1,200, on account of political and clerical services he was rendering as secretary of the Republican Resident Executive Committee during the last presidential campaign.— He was appointed a pension clerk, not to serve the public but the republican party, and he properly resents the assertion that he has been neglecting his duties for a year or two. - Mr. Hinton further declares in his afiidavit that this was done with the knowledge and consent of Secretary Delano, and through the efforts of Senators Edmunds and Chandler and ex-Secre-tary Harlan, proprietpr of the Washington - Chronicle. The republican committee wanted an intelli gent clerk, and nothing was easier than to put him on the rolls of the pension office so that he might draw his pay from the publi¢ treasury instead of the party funds, which were needed for other purposes. ‘Ater rendering important services to the republican party, Mr. Hinton is justly indignant that he should be charged with neglect of duties which were never assigned him. Let no one flatter himself upon the assumption that this stands as an isolated case. Thousands upen thousands of the people’s money are annually squandered for no other purpose. than that of rewarding political servants—men who “work for the party” and are compensated for their services by having their names pla'ce’d upon the pay-rolis of the government,though no services are-required or performed. To break up this shameful abuse, every voter'should determine to vote for no candidate for Congress who does not unequivocally pledge himself to-eivil service reform.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION, The action of the lower house of Congress in fixing the greenback circulation at $400,000,000 by the decisive vote of 171 against 70, is variously commented upon by the press of the country.. With very few exceptions, the leading dailies denounce the action of the House as a step in the direction of financial disaster, if not dishonor and repudiation. The inflationists are quite jubilant, and the few daily journals in their interest cheer their readers with the absurd representation that (the Senate concurring) the cry of “hard times” will no longer be heard. * Of the Indiana press a majority seems to be committed 9?z inflation theory. This is espgally the case with the republigany frs, which generally follow the w Yty B Senator Morton. A notable exce@¥n may be found in the LaPorte #%7ald, which speaks upon the subject in thess words® .

+ The practical effect will be to increase the volume of the currency really about $18,000,000.¢ This cannot be considered as a very wild expansionm; and we cannot see how,of itself, it.can eithex benefit or damage the business of the country, to any great extent. © Our notion is that the true remedy for the financial ills and troubles which besét us, lies not in adding to the volume of the circulating mediam, but in making it more elastic and flexible,—self regulating, so as to adjust itself to the very varying necessities and demands of trade.

The Senate has not yet taken final action on the House 'bill, but two or three test votes leave no doubt that the $400,000,000 bill will be concurred in and become a law. ;

- Tae District of Columbia Ring investigation has been submerged in whitewash. Boutwell having retired from the committee, on account of illness, Senator Stewart has been ap pointed in his place. It is broadly asserted that Mr. Stewart himself is one of the beneficiaries of the ring and can hardly be expected to investigate himself to any serious extent. The only hope of reaching the truth and gaining justice to the tax-payers is centered upon Senator Thurman and Representatives Wilson and Jewett: ;

Tae female crusaders of Ft. Wayne caught a tartar at one of their meetings last week. A Mrs. Rosenthal \arose and delivered a lengthy speech “in which she told the crusaders some -truths that they will do well to remember for many years. The Rev.

Tue DEMOCRATS of Floyd county, on Friday last, nominated their candidates for district and county offices by popular vote. For Congress, Hon. M. C. Kerr received 2,325 votes, Judge Cyrus L. Dunham 5, and Hon. Simeon K. Wolf, the present incumbent, 3 votes. “An honorable and very intelligent farmer -named F. C. Johnson was nominated for State Senator, and Hon. John 8. Davis, an experienced “old stager,” for Representative.

THE DEMOCRATS control 75 votes in the Massachusetts Legislature, and these are solidly cast for their caucus nominee for U, 8. Senator, Judge Cur-, tis. Somehow or other, these gentlemen calculate upon playing an important part in the election of Mr, Sumner’s successor. Just how this is to be_done remains a profound mystery, ’ :

THE GREAT FAMINE IN INDIA, The London 7T'imes, in arecent issue, makes the startling announcement that twenty-five millions of people in India are in imminent danger of starvation. Of these only one-tenth are able-bodied* It is calculated that in April and May of last year over half a million perished from want of food, but not until the commencement of May did the officials disclose the horrible picture of desolution that existed. Sir Cecil Beaton still refused to acknowledge that scarcity prevailed and would take no active steps to meet the crisis. When at leéngth it became generally understood that Orissa was destitute of rice, exportation and importation were alike impossible. The south-west monsoon had set in. The harbors of Qripa, never open more than a part of the year, had become impracticable.— The only landward route was wholly unfit for the transportation of sufficient food for the country, and the doomed population found themselves utterly isolated, “in the condition of passengérs in a ship without provisions.” Meantime a cry of distress reached England, and when a commissiom was sent down to the district it was found 1,000,000 of the inhabitants had died froin starvation. :

The province of Behar, where the dread calamity of famine is 1330\\' felt with the greatest severity, is in the mortheastern portion of the brefsidency of Bengal, the most important division of British possessions in Hindostan and the chief seat of English atithority ini the East. Sir George Campbell is the lieutenant governor, but he is to be succeeded in a few months by Sir Richard Temple, who has been recently sent to the distressed districts with full power to carry out extensive measures of relief. The intense and widespread distress is not confined to Behar, "but extends to the south and north of the region. Taking a map of Asia in hand and finding the Bay of Bengﬁl, the vast area over which famine has spread his black wings will be 'seen to the north up to the.confinesof Nepaul, with-Burmah and Bhotan to the east and Thibet further north. It is a wide tract, where scarcity has for monghs obtained, and over which misery and suffering of a harrowing description prevail in consequence of the ‘drought. Along the foot of the Himalayas, stretching from Oude to the west near Danjeeling, on the east is a long strip of insalubrious rice country, known as the Teria—a district of jungles, roadless and waterless. , A;ll this tract lies tothe north of the Granges and of railroad communication; it is more or less remote therefrom, and the difficulties of bringing foed, are increased from the circumstances that its interior communications are by no means good. Itis in this -extensive district, extending beyond the boundaries of Behar, which is largely and densely populated, that actual famine is now existing. Gyar, .Séalabad, Mooreshedubad, Rungpore and Bharmgulpore, easily found on the map, are also in great distress.— Fifteen districts, with a population of 26,000,000, are in actual want. Besides there has to be taken into account Bharmgulpore, Burdwin and other places, having a population of 14,000, 000, in which the rice crop has failed and the consequen(;esf of a scarcity are felt, = | ;

To sum up, Lord Northbrook had, according to the statements of his subordinates, less than 300,000 tons of rice accumulated at Calcutta, hundreds of miles away from the faminestricken districts, and to reach which obstacles of almost "an insuperable character are to be surmounted. This supply would hardly last a fortnight for a population that, according to the London 7'%imes, reaches 65,000,000 souls. Thereis an absolute failure of the crops. There may be relief in work and money, but money is of no avail unless food can be purchased.— This is the great work before the Viceroy. .Again, the Viceroy has based his calculations upon one pound of rice daily to each of 3,000,000 adults for three months, when at the most moderate estimate two pounds as a daily ration are needful. The number re(uiring aid cannot be less than 20,000, 000, and the period of prospective absolute scarcity not far from ten months. Instead of 300,000 tons of food at least 3,000,000 tons ate called for, and it is out of the question that sueh a quantity can be ebtained. Thus the case stands. There is no possible way of placing a different construction upon it. Famine, with all its horrors, stare the doomed Bengalese in the face, and it does not appear that human efforts can do anything towards preventing a repetition of the horrors of 1770. :

Mrs. EMMA MALLOY, of the Elkhart Observer, is in her glory. The temperance crusade affords her a welcome opportunity to appear on the rostrum and to expatiate eloquently on the mission of woman. Emma talks fluently, and is doubtless sincere. But we are constrained to tell her that when a fellow is taken down witl bilious colie or cramp in the stomach,’ her theory about the “devilishness” of whisky is reduced to the veriest nonsense. We had never looked with much favor upon whisky, but when, during our recent illness, frequent potations ewere found to be the only means of saving'us from sinking/a'wéy, ; we felt grateful that there was still such a thing as whisky. : -

THE SARCASTIC GENIUS who pre- } sides over the columns of the Martins‘ville Gazette gets off this refreshing little hit: “The members of the Indi‘ana press propose to make an excur'sion to, Baltimmore and Washington, over the B: & O. railroad, with a pro« bability of extending the trip to New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, in May next. If the first part of the programmp is carried out, there wili be such an influx of brains and honesty at the capital, that eredit mebilier, back pay, sandstone and other thieving. “ringmasters” will hunt their holes,. and pn]l the holes in after them,” " > G and

' AN EXPLANATION of thH&“volcanic eruption” in North Carolina is given ‘by Capt. Mast, of Martinsville, Ind,, who was born near the now famous Bald Mountain. Acébrdh_pf" ‘to ‘the Gazette's version, Capt. Mastoften vis;jiited?that locality and is ‘,pez‘x:jiectly familiar with the mountain and its sur--roundings. His hypothesis of the present disturbances in that region is, that it is an apple-jack still, hidden near the top, allowing the smoke to escape from an aperture in the summit, which is some six. or seven acres in extent, and perfectly barren of verdure. It is understood that U. S. Revenue officers are “rough” on illicit distilleries in that region. =~

Tne Massachusetts Legislature has not yet succeeded in choosing a Senator te fill the unexpired term of Mr. Sumner. During the balloting on Tuesday, Dawes gained ten votes, apparently, and this was due not to increase of strength, but to the larger number of votes cast,—these reaching 274, againust 256 the day before. Hoar and Curtis also gained several votes, so that no change in relative positions can be considered to have taken place except, perhaps, in Curtis’ case, who got two more votes than in any preceding ballot. ==~

There is a solemn warning to those who are forcing prayers upon saloonkeepers in the words of the Rey. Dr. Bovington, of the Vine Street Congregational Chureh, Cincinnati. In one of his reeent sermons he appealed directly to them in the following strong language: “You are boasting of the efficac% of prayer in subduing intemperance. You are calling Prof. Tyndall and all the world to see that prayer is irresistable. 'And you are going to fail most dreadfully. =~ You are going to suffer a most shocking defeat in this matter, and are demonstrating to the skeptical world what they have been claiming and desiring 'to prove themselves, that prayer per se has no efficacy at all. You are imperilling religion, which is based upon the efficacy of prayer; and, while blindly following the supposed spirit of the chureh, are pulling the whole fabric of Christianity about your ears.” His view of the situation has also been indorsed by another prominent clergyman in Cincinnati, and there are not wanting numerous others in other cities who are not carried away with the excitement of the moment, and who, foreseeing the dangers to the church from the Prayer-Parade, are warning its members of approaching the catastrophe. It is not énly the efficacy of prayer, but also the efficiency of religion, which is put in the crucible. It is but a few: days ago that a prominent churchman made the remark: “This movement is from God himself. It is God himself working through these women. If every saloon is not elosed in Chicago within a yeéar, then lam prepared to be an Atheist.” 'This is simply zeal -without knowledge, and if thig churchman holds to his promise, he will without doubt be anh Atheist nexf March. The failure of ‘the temperance ~movement, if it fails, is the least of the evils involved in it.- ' If this Pray-er-Parade fails, it must react upon all species of religious effort, and paralyze the work of the church, which depends ‘upon prayer though not upon parade, and there will not be*wanting extremists ‘who carry their scoffing and skepticism to the uttermost limit. It is time that those religious people who are urging on this Prayer-Parade should stop and coolly ascertain what results it is producing, whither it is carrying them, and what its ultimate effect must be upon the church and church work. Let them remember, too, that the Head of the Church rebuked street-praying, and said, “when thou prayest, go into thy.closet.” —Chicago Tribune. RRda el n i : A Formidable Strike. . A strike has taken place among the employes of the Erie Railroad in the machine-shops at Susquehanna Depot, Pa., which has been attended by violent demonstrations on the part of the ‘workmen. Ninety or more engines have been disabled, and freight valued at $2,000,000 detained on side tracks. ‘The men express their determination to continue the blockadeé until their demands are satisfied. Their grievance is that the Company is in arrears to them for wages. For how long a time this indebtedness has been accumulating is not precisely known, but it is supposed that several months’ wages are due, inasmuch as the men refused to accede to a compromise on the basis of receiving one month’s pay. The press and the people in the neighborhood of Susquehanna Depot sympathize with the strikers. Gov. Hartranft has been asked by the local authorities to call out the militia, and Gen. Osborne, with the entire Ninth Division, was at last accounts preparing to go forward and repress the riot. His orders are to use every effort to restore order without bloodshed: . The latest dispatches from the Erie Railway strike at Susquehanna depot, state that the trouble is about over, and that trains are'mow running, under the protection of the militia. Soldiers ‘guarding a railroad train from the violence of strikers is a beautiful and suggestive spectacle for a free country. ; Tuesday’s dispatches bring this information: Jay Gould is credited with having incitéd the recent- strike at Susquehanna Depot. His object in this, as in the late malicious report of Auditor Duncan, also attributed to him, was to so embarrass theroad that he might get possession of it. Affairs at the scene of the strike are at a dead lock. The strikers have unanimously resolved that none of them shall return to work. The Company adheres to its determination to reemploy but 500 men, and threatens that it will move the shops tosome other point on the road if the strikers create any more trouble. © The precaution has bien taken of carrying away the more valuable machinery to place it beyond the malice ‘of the workmen. The news that the molders have returned to work shows that the determination of the workmen to toil no more for the Erie Road is hot above the allurements of pay, i in sEoG ok 47

Grangers Not All Sap-Heads.

In the opening of the maple sugar making in the vieinity of the city of South Bend, one of the prominent Grangers who resides in the thick timber country not many miles from that place, concluded to:'make himself square in the matter of being eheated by the grocery dealers, as portrayed and illustrated by our friend, Colonel Davis. 'For this purpose he went to town and bought a quantity of ecommon brown sugar at eight cents per pound, and took it home. With the first runs of the'sap he mixed'in this cheap brown sugar, having purchased a large quantity as we are tgld, .and sugaring off the amalgamatidn it all became good maple sugar, ‘which he sold for eighteen or twenty cents per pound. This shows that there is some little trickiness once in a while among Grangers as well as the world’s peopie outside.—Hlkhart Union. v
