-HERE is more “‘ad\fj?nced'».tl_xinkin g Rev: Thothas K. Beeclier advances the idea that election bri ‘er_v laws should be repealed in order that votes »ma.ly be sold in the open market. He asserts that “while the voter stands votes will be bought and sold in a democracy:” that “vast numbers of voters cannot possibly use their votes wisely;” that “it is b tter for capital to get out the votes by cash than for pafty men to get it ont by bribes and lies;” that “to vote & proxy.is mo in‘novation; no disgrace to stoc}dgoldérs;’ nor injitself immoral} and that “bribery laws - once ' repealed, honest, wealthy and patrioti¢ men could biri in open market for the votes which’ ~are now sold to the Knavish and .corrupt.” Mr. Beecher jis a Radical in more than one sense 0f thejword.

Mg."WATTERSON, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, comies out squarely for Gov. Tilden. In an. interview with a reporter of the Herald he reiterates his intention not to support Mr. Bristow under any circumstances, remarking carelessly that the persons .who attributed a contrary ‘purpose to him were “driveling idiots,” and continued: “By rights, Tilden’s chances. ought to begood. He is the represen: tative of the only rule of theory or practice by which the South can get oh its feet again—administrative reform. He s, besides, an old line Jeffersonian Democrat and strict constructionist, who should be & favorite _even with the Bourbons.

.~ THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, WARsAW.+The election on Tuesday resulted -as follows: First ward, B. P. Wright, Republican; Second ward, A. T. Kist; Republican; Third ward, Nelson Nutt, Republican; Fourth ward, Robert Heltzler, Republican. Considerable excitement prevailed,and the result was very close. - :

} ELkuART.—The - city election resulted in @ republican victory. Hon. J. R. Beardsley was elected Mayor by. a large majority. - e R e Fort ' 'WaYNE.— The election of nine eouncilmen took place ‘on Tuesday, and drew out a very full vote. There was much excitement. . The election resulted in the sucegss of the independent ticket. The election causes much rejoicing, as it is regard- | ed as a complete defeat for the bum‘mer element, and a decided expression in favor of water works. - ‘ SovTH -BEND.—The result. of the | election was mixed; the number of ‘ votes polled was something upward of ; 2,000. - A.N. Thomas the republican candidate for Mayor, was elected by 85 majority; and Ed. Henricks for | clerk;. D. C. Rush for treasurer; Geo. Bernhart for mars%ml, and- \\"imam} !;Furr for assessor, candidates on the‘ !,peoplg’s ticket, were elected by major- | ities?'-rhngihg from 100 to about 200. Xone,of the candidateson the people’s ticket were republicans except Henricks. Out.of the five councilmen the | republicans "got - three-—Taylor, Hall , and Richardson—-the opposition Day- | ton and Giddings. i ‘ | GosneN.—The entire/ democratic ticket, with the exception of Marshal ’ and one councilman, was elected, The | following ‘are the suceessful candi- ‘ dates: Mayor, C. B. Alderman; Mar- ! shal, Andrew Myei‘s; Treasurer, A. A. | Norton; Clerk, Wm. Bradford; Assesi sor, Tsrael Wyland; Councilmen, Jalicob Butterfield, Christ. Hinderer and | Eliza Hawks. A jollification meeting i wasg held on Tuesday night. = - ‘ | KENDALLVILLE. —The city election |.passed off quietly. There were no party nominations, and the contest was mainly over the clerkship to-fill the unexpired term of Mr. Graham, deceased.. There were five candidates “for the oflice, Jno. Duerr being the. ‘successful one. Dr. Teal was elected councilman- in the First Ward, Jacub Kann in the Second, and J. Lang in the Third. e T g

{ kAPORTE.—The eity election for councilmen resulted in the defeat of the denmcr;tts, “The republicans gain three coun(tilm'en, making the council a tie, with a democratic Mayor. The contest - was purely persohal in character. The repub]icans are very jubilant over the result. - ‘

The Indignapolis election resulted in a disastrous defeat to the Democrag cy. «The Republicans carried the city by 4,000 majority, gaining complete control of the municipal government. A serious riot occurred between Irishmen and negroes, several of the latter being killed -and others severely wounded, Gross frauds arecharged upon the Republicans. The Cinecinnati Enguirer thus speaks of the xesalt: - - . ) No little interest centered in the municipal .election in Indianapolis yesterday. It was a miniature fight between Hendricks and Morton, a kind of sample Hf sentiment as between the republican and democratic parties .of Indiana. The Democrats, ‘with mistaken adroitness, and with surprising ‘suddenness, in order to ‘make assurance doubly sure of car.rying the city, gerrymandered it into districts after their own heart, it.is alleged, we know not how truly, under the counsel of Mr. Hendricks. So palpable a politicai- play, as might have been expected, kindled some in‘dignation and helped to defeat the purpose for- which it was-intended. The dispatches indicate that the Republicans carried Indianapolig by over four thousand majority, and elected eleven out of thirteen Councilmen. The chicanery was unsuccessful, as chicane ought always to be. The republican, majority -in Indianapolis. is really enormous.- At the last municipal .election® Indianapolis elected a Democratic Council, and elected a Republican Mayer by only a small majority. In 1874 Marion county was Demeocratie by six hundred and fiftythree majority on the vote for Secletary of State. The. Democrats -of Indianapolis, whoever is managing them, do not seem to be making much headway in the world. The reports from other portions of the State are more favorable. TN '

" THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY. The New York Democrats met in State convention on the 26th ult. The customary quarrel over the admission of rival delegations from New York' -c‘igy protracted the (}elibefatiolls of qhe; canvention'so as to render necessary a second day’s session. The most important/business of the convention was the. election of delegates to the national convention: Senator Kernan, Lieut. Gov. Dorsheimer, Henry C. Murphy, and; Abram S. Hewitt were -appointed delegates at large. . Resolutions were gdopted that the democratic party renew their fidelity to the prineiples set forth in their tgatform' adopted in 1873 and 1875, well vindicated in the administration of Gov. Tilden, and-commended anew j;) their faith adoption, by the eiidorsement of an increasing majority of fellow Democrats of sister States. - In-, structing them to vote as a- unit in glccord:mbe with: the majority of the democratic party of New York. While committing to their delegates the: duty of joining with their fellow Democrats, of all States in. their momentous deliberation of the National Con“vention, they declare that a return to constitutional principles, frugal expenditures of administrative power of the founders of our government, the first and most imperious necessity of the times, -the: commanding issues now before the people of the Union. And they suggest, with respectful defference to their bpethren ot other States, and with the cordial apprecias. tion of other renowned Democratic Statesmen faithful like him to their politieal principles and publiec trusts, that the nomination of Samuel J. Tilden to the office of President would insure the vote of New York, and would be approved throughout the Union.as a recognition of this superior measure, the incarnation of this vital issue, the pledgeé of our high purpose, and a guarantee of a suecessful achievement of this arduous work of national regeneration and reform.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Wasmsaron, D. C., April £B, 1876, THE CANDIDATES.

. Senator Thurman’s Ohio friends are i becoming very active in his behalf, and while they anticipate a sharp ‘fight in their own State, they -claim to ‘have secured considerable strength for him in other States, and if they can control Ohio, they expect to present the Senator at. St. Louis with a good -backing. Thé New York men are jubilant to-day over the unani‘mous declaration jof the New York ‘convention in favor of Tilden. Just what the friends of Governor Hen- | dricks are doing is not apparent; but it is to be presumed that a strdng: _backing is being organized for him.— BSpeaker Kerr is pledged to his support; and the Housge was organized in his interest. If he is not nominated i at St. Louis, it will not be for want of friends. I do mot think, however, _that personal popularity .will influ{ence the convention, unless it be ac- | companied by absolute strength with | the people. The democratic party | were never more thoroughly in earni est,and.determined to nominate a man | they can elect, than now. All the indications point to an harmonious action at St. Louis, in the interest of the party as.a whole. Sectional differ- | ences are less prominent every: day; l and good feeling, and a willingness to sink personal preferences for the gen- ! eral:good, are expressed on every side. | THE LAST OF THE CARPET-BAG SENA-

is probably George E. Spencer, of Alabama, whose election was recently. investigated by a Republican Senatorial Committee. The bucket of whitewash has been duly prepared, and will probably be dumped into the Senate by Morton, Chairman of the Committee on Privileges and .gElections, within a week or ten days. “L'hat Spencer procured his election by cor‘rupt, means no one doubts; but the republican members of the committee strenuously object to any other testimony than would be admitted in a court of law, and the result was that Gen. Morgan, the counsel for the Alabama Izegislature, found himself lmuipered at every turn, and was not. permitted to introduce any testimony, even though conclusive in its nature, which could be excluded by the strict rules governing legal evidence.. The majority of the committee went so far, also, in their efforts to protect their radical colleague, as to peremptorily decline to summon several witnesses named by the prosecutioh. Of course the minority, Messrs. Bayard, Merrimon and Cooper (Democr’gts) dissented from the arbitrary and unjust ruling of Morton and lus confreres; but their protests were of no avail, and the result will be two reports——one in favor of, and one against the: car-pet-bag Senator from ' Alabama. A man of no ability, and belieyed to be thoroughly corrupt, Spencer is despised not only by the Democratic Senators, but by the Republicans who profess to be his friends. The latter will ‘continue Spencer in his position ‘not because they believe that he is entitled to it, but because their ma‘jority in the Senate is so small that the loss of a single Senator, just now, would deprive them of a vote which they need on many occasions, when party lines are not rigidly adhered to, and some of their number, - Edmunds, Christiancy, Paddock and others, ‘tall into line with the Democrats.

LOUISIANA’S SCALAWAG SENATOR.

Since investigations and personal explanations seem to be the order ot the day, it is somewhat strange that the notorious Senator from Louisiana, J. R. West, has not followed the.example of the illustrious. Blaine, and denied the long list of charges that have been made through the press against his honor and integrity as a man and a Senator. These accusattons have remained unrefuted ' for months, and the public begin to believe they are true in every respect. Frem the New Orleans Democrat; however,.it would appear that West proposes to resort to the courts for redress, and has instituted a suit for libel against that paper. In referring to this course of the Senator, the_Democrat says: Our Washington ‘correspondent telegraphs us .that West proposes to sue the Democrat for-libel.” We are not informed, however, for what specific truth we have told we are to be sued. Will° West ste us:-because we proved him to be g forger, and published thg7 evidence of the fact? Or will he su us for printing the truth about his villainous life in. California during the war? Or will he sue us because we exposed the fact that he co-operated, for a prize, with Babcock and Porter to have Billings appointed judge? Or will he'sue us because we have told of his running off. with the. funds of a New Orleans fire company before the war? Or will he sue us because we stated, what every man in Louisiana believes to be a fact, that he bought his election to the United States Senate for thirty-six thousand dollarg? It will be seen, by the above paragraph, that the Democrat is not much alarmed at the prospect of the threatened law suit. o ¢

THE BELKNAP IMPEACHMENT TRIAL promises to-be a tedious affair, Although the de,fen(}aut’s counsel failed in their efforts to get the case postponed to December, -they do not appear to have lost confidence that the result of the trial will be favorable te their clignt, through legal technicalities. Ex-Senator Carpenter, the senior counsel for Belknap, is thoroughly interested in the case, and will avail himself of every technicality to prevent the conviction of his client.— Judge Jere. S. Black and Hon. Montgomery: Blair are associated with him in an advisory eapacity, but Carpenter, being on friendly terms with all the ‘Senators who, were formerly his colleagues, and knowing just how to handle them to the best advantage, ig put forward as best caleylated to/influence the decision of the court. Carpenter, ‘while a favorite with . the republican members of the Senate, secured the respect of the Democrats by speaking and voting with them on many important questions——notably the question of the admission of ‘Pinchback,; the dusky aspirant for Senatorial honors from Louigiana. He ‘was not in the Senate, however, when the final vote was taken, but his constitutional: argument against gi‘gm,;f back’s admission was one of the miost powerful protests that came from efther side of the chamber. If allowed to

do 80, he will introduce much testimony of a negative character. Major General McDowell and other prominent army officers will be introduced to testify that they have always regarded Gen. Belknap as an honest man, and never knew of a dishonest act on his part; in fact the defence will be,long and elaboratg, .unless the Senate confines itself, as it should do, to the only relevant question, “Did Belknap, while Secretary of War, sell post-traderships ?” If the Senate allows the.counsel for Belkmip, to introduce a mass of negative testimony, the result will be i

A LOXNG SESSSIONOF CONGRESS. The Senate has'.already evinced a disposition td?ngn-concur with the House in its recommendations in regard to reducing the ejcpeuses of the Government, as émbodied! in the various appropriation bills: - The House is dgtermined 'to iusist -on egonomy, and the Senate seems as fully set on defeating all redactions. The result of this must be a session extending far into the summer. Aside from this, there are many other importait questions before Congress which will elicit extended debate, and necessarily prolong the present session.

- GoV. SEYMOUR, in his_ eloquent speech before the recent - New, York Democratic State | Convention, gave his hearers the benefit of some very wholesome truths with reference to the duties resting upon the democratic party, as will be observed from 'the subjoined extract: ‘

' «]n conclusion, I say once moig:to the democratic party and to our republican friends, we propose to enter into this contest not for the purpose of showing which party is the most ignoble, not merely for the purpose of bringing discredit- upon them, not with a view of gaining a victory. because they have gone wrong—l scorn such a victory on the part ot the democratic party—but we intend to-win this victory because we mean to show that we are more fit to hold power. We have the better claims, not! because you are so bad, but becausé we have the positive virtues to enable us to carry on this government, and until we do show that, I for one pray to God that we may never come into power. It is because I believe that now we have this revival of public morality and this refreshing of the: purer sentiments of the people and an enlarged intelligence with regard: to the evils of bad government, that 1 stand before. you at this moment buoyed up with the conviction that for many years to come we are to have a better government; a better people, a better condition of things and a more active and -earnest patriotism; and that is to be hrought about because we have returned to the principles and to the wisdom of our fathers and to the great principles which the democratic party has ever upheld. On Friday afternoon about three o‘clock a flash of lightning, sounding like the report of a cannon, struck in the telegraph office at the Wabagh depot. ~ Mrs. Nichols, the wife of the operator, narrowly escaped serious injury. Her husband had just stepped out for a moment, leaving her sitting at the desk. One side her face was slightly-injured, causing a temporary deafness in one ear. The operator, on hearing the report, rushed in and found the office on fire and the instruments scattered around promiscuously. The fire was soon extinguished, when it was found the instruments were considerably damaged. One of them was burst in a dozen pieces. So great was the heat the wire was melit‘ed in several places.—Lafayette Exv change. e E————— WHAT A PITY. . A Pane-ful Statenient—Quy Big End--lana Plate Giass is no Jore. .

ELDER CULVEYHOUSE AT ' WOLF LAKE. ,

Three Exhaustive Discourzes on the Sabbath Question. e

To the Editor of The National Banner: ~Elder William Culveyhouse, of Ligonier, paid our quiet little village a visit on the 20th and 30th ult., to give our citizens the benefit of his investigations into the Sabbatarian doctrines, Upon his arrival it was diséovéredi that a rumer had beén set afloat by | some Adventist that the reason why Elder Culveyhouse left the Seventh Day Adtentist Church was because he was rot permitted to handle the funds of the congregation at Ligonter and was mot made Elder thereof. Elder Culveyhouse promptly wet this foul ‘:icqusgtion. by stating in unequivocal terms'that whosoever started and cireulatedthe report was a falsifier of the first order. He further said that he left the Adventist church because it is run byimen in whom he had no faith, and for the further reason that: the whule ipstitulion is a snare and ‘ ; delusion, bised upon false theories and unadultggited nonsense; and the, visi ions of Ellen G. White. e 1 KElder Culveyhouse, in‘his first dis- - course, dwelt upon_Ellen White's the- : ories upon the atonement, ete,, clearly %‘provinghy scriptural authut"i_ty; thatEl- ‘ len’s rejelutibgs were at once visionaary and d«lusﬁ'e, however much Ad- ‘ ventists ;niizt; cling to them and | adopt thém a 5 their rule of action. | Eider Lane has attempted to convince his followers that Ellen’s visiong -are not u test; but Ellen herself, who. certainly occupies a far moré commanding position in the realm of Ad- ‘ ventism than does the smiling little Lane, sputly maintains that her visions are a test and dare not be disregarded. Elder Culveyhouse ‘phe_n discussed [Ellen White’s “positive testimony” i relation to tobacco, spirituous liquors, snuff, tea, coffee, &c., &e. also her injunctions with regard to, short dresses. S

_ Inhisotherdiscourses Elder Culveyhouse considened the Sabbath question. Hestated that Elder Lane claims | the Sabbath is n‘o_when:e called the cov--1 enant. Exodus 31: 14 to 17 says it is. | Lane says the Sabbath is binding upon ‘ all men and in all times, and that sin is the transgression of the law. “What law ?" heasks. The ten commandment law, of course. Ellen White. says there is no law ‘where there is no [ light given. But when God sendsvl | light' and man does not- follow the. light, then it is sin. Let us see. Con- | staptine made a Sunday law in the ‘year 321. There are about 1523 years’ l between ~Constantine’s Sunday law and the year-1844. Lane says God saved good men between these dates, and they were keeping Constantine’s Sunday law. Then s .is not the | transgression of the fourth commandment for 1523 years. Why? Because Ellen had not seen it-in vision. But, says -Ellen, in 1846, “God gave me a vision,” and there she saw the fourth commandment, “and a halo of glory was all around it,” Eand, of course, sin is the transgression of the fou{rth com- | mondment ever since. Why ? Because Ellen .says '80; and it- must be so be- | cause she isinspired’by God to say it! These, Mr: Editor, are only a few of the points.made by ElderCulveyhouse. Ho handled his subject skillfully and with power. By his forcible argui ments he convinced his hearers that he had thoroughly investigated every ‘point at issue, aud knew whereof he affirmed.. He also impresset_; his audiénce, with the fullness of his convictions; that he had caimly and carefully i;gvestigated the _arguments mainly Feplied upon by Seventh Day Adventists, and having found them -destitute of substantial truths and ‘genuine merit, he possessed the moral courage to remounce the fallacies of that sect, Our citizens were highly pleased with the Elder’s discourses, which were logically clear and argumentatively irrefutable. He has our w;ti'mest thanks for throwing light | upon a number of points in regard to which information was greatly needed. He ought to be prevailed upon to speak wherevegk’Seventh Day Advgntist adyocates have disseminated their false doctrines. ‘ TRUTH. |

ROoOMS STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE s OF THE INDEPENDENT PARTY. |

INDIANAPOLIS, IND,, April 24, 76. To the Hon. Franklin Landers: s

DEAR SIrR — Since /the Democratic Convention of Tast ‘Wednesday, the 19th, some doubt’ exists in the public mind as to your attitude toward the Independent - party of Indiana as its nominee for governor. I deem it but just to yourself and to the Independents that such public assurances be given by you as to your status and intentions as will relieve both yourself and the Independents ‘of this State-of all reasons for embarrassment or misunderstanding. : g - I am very truly yours, : : GEORGE W. Russ, Chairman ‘lndependent State Central Committee, - i L

LANDERS'S LETTER TO RUSS. INDIANAPOLIS, April 24, 1876, Major George W. Rusx, Chairman Independent Central Committee. e DEAR SIrR—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your note of this date asking whether I desire still to remain at the ‘head of the Independent’ State ticket as the nominee of that party for governor; and whether I will make the race as its standard bearer in the coming campaign. While profoundly graveful for the confidene reposed in, me by the Independents of Indiana,’ who honored me with their nomina-, tion for governor, I must say that as I choose to submit my claims as a candidate to the convention of the .party with which I have heen identified all my life, in justice to the many friends who so earnestly .supported me in that convention, I;cap not now congent to run as the Indépendent candidate.. Permit me also to say to you, and through you to the Independents of Indiana, that had I received the. nomination of the Pemocratic conventiop, I should have made my carivass, 80 fur as.plhie question of finance and -eurrency are conderned, upon the declarations of the Independent platform, and upon my past record upon those questrons, rather than ‘upon the|declarations of the late Democratic convention, which I can not'indorse. My well knawn views upun the currency question I believe to be grounded on tru¢: Democracy, and of those views I abate nothing. I am, with great respect, your obedient servant, o FRANRIN bAvomßs

©o. - DRIVEN WELLS. | o An Important Decision Afiecting a . PatentofGreat Value, = | A suit was brought int the United _5 States Circuit Court i equity for this | district, some time ago, by William D. Andrew against Theodere A. Carman, ‘ for an injunction and damages for an: infringement of patent. The plaintiff was the owner of a certain patent for driving wells, and alleged that the defendant had infringed ;upon the | patent. The defendant claimed that | the method for driving down a well | was not patentable. Judge Benedict gave judgment yesterday for the | plaintiff, after showing the difference. between common and artesian wells. and the driven well.: Judge Benedict says: “It is plain, therefore, to see that the subject under consideration has utility and is patentable as a new | -process. ‘Counsel for defense are under a misapprehension when they say that this patent is: merely a new plan of more easily reaching the water bearing struta. It is a plan by which the water surrounding the well pit is “made to flow more rapidly, by the ac‘tion of machinery, than it would naturally do, and the plaintiff is entitled to his patent because of the artifical means of inereasing .the flow. The ! idea or principle of forcihg water from theearth into-a well pit by the use of artificial power is new, but is. not itsel€ paterstable. The.idea, when: made available by & method: by which it is put to practical use, is patentable, and is thus secured to the person who ‘conceived the idea and ‘invented the method. To suppose that it was the. intention of theé inventor:to secure a patent for no moie than the operation of lconstructing a well is an absurdity. The principle upon which Green’s. patent was granted was the action of the air pump and air tight tubes causing a - vacuum.” — Brooklyn lagle, ! April 28th, 1876. ‘ '

TR et o Yo | A NMouse Trapped by a Spider, Yesterday, quite a crowd !gathered on Greatman street, al a carpenter’s shop. Near a bench in the shop hung a mouse; medinm-sized, l}end‘dqwu_ward, and around its body was coiled. a single thread of ‘a spider’s. web, which reached to a cormér of the bench above, and hadits fastening, there. On the mouse’s-tail quietly sat the spider, which seemed to°be manip‘ulating the thread, and working it as’ |.with a pulley, When caught the’ |/ mouse was. on the ground, and after | five or six hours work, the spider man- | | aged to hoist it about ‘an inch and there it hung. i L The explanation concerning this | singular circumstanee is. that the mouse was accustomed, when on a predatory excursion; to emerge from: a hole under the bench and pass into an inner room. The spider laid a trap 1n its path. it is conjectured, and yesterday morning as the mouse was ‘making _its accustomed daily rounds it was caught in the net and securely held, the spider taking up a position on its tail. Although the mouse hung | suspended, a-dead weight, the thread did ‘not give way, and there it hung helpless between éarth and heavenm.t At night the carpenter elosed up his shop, but the spider was still at work, and . had completed about an inch in; the elevation.---New Orleans Picayune.

Sale of Kentucky Trotters, = | (New York Herald, 21st.) }

Colonel Connelly’s sale of ‘green’ Kentucky trotters yesterday was well: attended.” The horses were disposed of by Major Charles W, Baker and brought good prices. Melbourn, bay gelding, foaled 1869 by Lewis’ Melbourn, by imported Knight of St.: George, realized $250; Protection, gray: gelding, foaled 1870 by Vanmeter's Blood ‘Chief, son of Vermont Black Hawk, was sold for $575; Bluff, a sorrel-gelding, foaled 1868 by Wagner Abdallah, created some spirited hidding, and was finally sold for $750; Quixote, foaled 1869 'by Legal Tender, was knocked down for s3s¢. A 'well: matched brown mare and gelding, one by Ashland . Chief and thé other by Erieson, brought $5BO, and Vindicator, bay gelding, by Joe Hooker, he by Mambrino Chief, was knocked down for $440. A number of others were sold at prices averaging between $l2O ~and $205, i : L

The Salary Reduction Bill. . }he President has vetoed the bill reducing the salary of the President ‘to $25,000 per annum. : ' He! says- thal amount was fixed 100 years ago, when the country was poor and had a popu: lation of 3,000,000, and when . Congressmen were paid $6 per day for the time Congress continued in session. The President’s salary has not been advanced according to the salaries of other officials;and he believes $50.000 not too much. -Ie can speak disinterestedly. on the subject, as he would not be affected by the bill, and declines to.say his successor shall not receive the salary paid him. e

E —‘—4—-!-0 r— X THE revelations of robbery at \}/'ﬁ'sh-~ ington become more astonishing with eaclr day’s'investigation. Millions of dollars of government bonds and notes, which should have been destroyed. have not only not been destroyed, but reissued. For many issues no regular account of destruction was kept, certificates or reports of buruning have disappeared, and where accounts have been kept they are inaccurate. - Instances are produced where “small men,” outside of the ring fence, have stolen securities designed for ‘the flames, ranging from $5,000 to $40,000. The day of retribution has overtaken ‘the government thieves, and the .people may feel rejoiced that a Democratic Congress hastened it.—Huntington ‘Democrat. poes i e

‘ The New York Zribune: | Senator Hamlin probably rejoices' in the knowledge that his loyve for the newspapers is . warmly returned by.them. They ecall him pleasantly a “national: nuisance,” an “antiquated idiot,” and’ a “meddlesome old man,” and.advise him -to drop the postal question and take up a subject he knows something about. There seems to be a prejudice against a systém of postal rates which, makes it cheaper to send a newspaper to Europe than into .a neighboring town. o : bl

Mr, Grant says in his veto message of the salary bill that $25,000.a year have not defrayed his expenses as executive. That shows how. much costlier 4 President heis than Lincoln and Johnson, both of 'whom saved money out of their $25,000 salary, when gold was at a premium of from fifty to a hundred and fifty per cent. And their household allowances were very much smaller than Grant's have been.—Belensgrove T'imes. ’

Patrick Donahue, proprietor: of the Boston Pilot, who recently went into | bankruptey, is shown to have been guilty of a gross breach of trust in. imposing upon the credulity of ignorant Catholic friends who deposited money in his hands.
