Tho New York World keeps up its pro?
voking analysis of tho adulteration iu almost
every article in Now York city that enters
into the consumption of families. It would
appear from this expone that about every?
thing which men cat u?d drink in New
York is adulterated. All the daily necessa?
ries usually found iu grocers' establishments
aro subject to adulterations and short
weights, whilst the result of the examina?
tion of tho liquors is fearful. The adulte?
ration of liquor with water is one of the
most innocent frauds in that article.
Chemical analysis of some of the samples
of liquor sold in New York disclose ingre?
dients so deleterious, not to say poisonous,
that veteran topers hold up their bandi: in
dismay, and are inclined to make their wills
before venturing on another drink. Whilst
with tho monstrous revenuo frauds, the
enormous Erie stock swiudles, tho spring
trap of tho New York Central in its laige
80 per cent, dividend, all tho ingenious and
artful manipulations of the many railroad
securities and stocka which figure iu tho
New York stock exchange, the alleged bal?
lot-box stuffing and illegal voting, the whole
atmosphere of New York seems to bo foggy
with frauds and false appearances. Whilst
the World keeps up its fire against tho adul?
terations and short-weights, tho Herald
turns its batteries upon tho World for what
it calls its crusade against the grocers nud
traders of New York. Thc editor says:
"Merchants from a distance, will not come
to New York to make their purchases, if
these mendacions Bohemians keep up their
infamous attacks. Tho country press is
filled with reports of these libels, with com?
ments whioh show that tho impression is
beginning to prevail that it is dangerous to
buy certain articles in New York; and it
will no doubt bo ruado to appear before long
that it is dangerous to como to New York at
all. This feeling tho merchants iu Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Ciucinnatti, Chi?
cago, St. Louis and other largo places where
the dealers strive to keep the trade of their
own country districts as much to themselves
as possible, will undoubtedly eucourago-so
that the business of tho city "is in great
danger of being permanently injured bj
these libels."
THE B?KS ci" lins STATE.-Tue Charles?
ton News gives the following as the grounds
on which the injunction against Goveruoi
Scott, to prevent him from issuing bonds t<
the bill-holders of the Bank of the State, h
to be applied for:
1. Because the provision contained in tin
Act which authorizes tho bonds, requirinj
tho Governor to take possession of tin
assets of the bauk, is a condition preceden
to tho issuing of the bouds.
2. Because thc Apt is unconstitutional
inasmuch us it does not comply with th
requirement of the Constitution prohibitiuj
tho Legislature from passing Acta creatiuj
money obligations, without, at the sam
time, laying a tax by which to provide fo
meeting tho same.
3. Booauae the usual formalities of legis
latiou were not complied with in the pa;
sage of the Act.
1. Because the Act is contrary to the di
reotion of the late Constitutional Oonvot
tion to the Legislature, to examine into th
liabilities of the bank and make provisio
for the same.

Uatlrouci Jobs and Jobbers In t'ougri *..
The corruptions whicli have sprung up in
the National Government from tho general
demoralizations of our late civil war, aro
fenrfnl to contemplate. One hundred mil
I lious a year lost to the Treasury from the
spoliations of the whiskey Hugs, "beute out
of sight''anytliing iu the lino of whiskey
frauds under any other Government on the
face of the globe; but ou a corresponding
scale with their bold of operations, tho In?
dian rings, the Post Office and Interior De?
partment riugs, tho tobacco rings, the
frontier smuggling rings and various other
rings, insiders and outsiders, jobbers, con?
tractors, Government officials and private
speculators, nie pretty well up to thc per
ceniage of the enormous stealings e-f the
whiskey rings. The latest developments,
however, show that in the grandeur and
number of their schemes of spoils and plun?
der, tho congressional rings of railroad job?
bers throw into the shade all the other rings
of the lengthy catalogue of confederate
Treasury robbers.
A Washington correspondent, who has
beeu looking into tho business, reports that
150 railroad bills and resolutions have been
introduced in tho fortieth Congress, (the
term of which expires on the 4th March
next, with that of Preside ut Johnson,) and
that twice as many more are in preparation
in thc lobby; that 1,000,000,000 of acres of
the public lands and 6200,000,000 in United
States bonds would not supply the demands
of these cormorants. In other words, their
stupendous budget of railway jobs would
require sops and subsidies in lauds ?lid
bonds which, reduced to a moucy valuation,
swell up to the magnificent figure, of half
tho uational debt.
Among the jobs of this schedule, is tho
Atchison and Pike's Peak Railroad Compa?
ny, or Union Pacific Central Brunch, winch,
after having received Government sops to
the extent of 8(5,000,000, puts iu for 87.1>U(>,
000 more. Next comes the Deuver Pacific
Railway nod Telegraph Company, which,
having feathered its nest to the figure of
832,000,1)00, puts in for a little more; and
this company is reported to be a mere gang
of speculators, "without any kuuwu legal
organization whatever"-a lot of mythical
John Does and Richard Boes, who cannot
bo found when called for. Next, we have
the Leavenworth. Pawnee and Western Rail?
road Company, now known tis the Union
Pacific, Eastern Division, chartered by the
Kansas Territorial Legislature in 1855, sub?
sidized with Delaware Indian reserve hinds
in 1861, and then in 1S02, by a rider on the
Pacific Railroad law, granted Slo.OOi) per
milo in United States bonds and every alter?
nate section of laud, within certain limits,
ou each side of the road, and the privilege
of a second mortgage. This is cutting it
pretty Cat. But it further appears that a
clique ol* seccders from the old company
illegally formed a uew company, and, hav?
ing by force of arms taken possession of thc
road, are pocketing tho spoils which legally
belong to the old company. All this, too,
with the consent of the President, tho Sec?
retary of tho Treasury aud Congress. Arc
they all birds of ll feather, that they thus
flock together?
From aunt lier source we learn that sunn
half dozen other Pacific brauch or niait
fcteni railroads, Northern and Southern, uri
on the anvil, involving lauds and bonds bj
tens and t won ties and hundreds of millions
that of all these schemes fully three-fourth.'

Death of General Lovell II. Roauraa, 1
The news of the death of General Lovell
H. Rousseau will bo received with profound !
sorrow by nearly every person in the
country who enjoyed his personal acr uaint
tanoe, or uro familiar with the noble truits
iu the character of the deceased. At tho
timo of his death he was, wo believe, the
junior (in rank) Brigadicr-Goneral in the
regular army, and.was in commund of me
Military District of Louisiana, with bead
quarters at New Orleans, where he had won
tho respect of everybody, save a nest of
pestiferous politicians, who would, but
could not, uso bim against the people he
was sent to protect. The deceased was a
Keutuckiuu. and served as captain of a
company of Kentuckians in the Mexican
war. At the breakiug out of the late war, ho
was a member of tho Senate of his State,
from thc city of- Louisville. With Critten?
den, Guthrie, Prentice, Ilarvey and other
I citizens of that Stnte, he espoused the causo
of tho Union, und at once tendered his ser?
vices to tho Government. He won unfad?
ing laurels at Shiloh, Parryville and Mur
freesboro, and loug before thc end of tho wur
was com missioned a Major General of volun?
teers. The deceased waa for a long time
Commander of the District of Middle Ten?
nessee, with bead-quarters at Nashville,
where he won thousands of friends among
Confederate families for the generous patri?
otism which he on ull occasions extended to
those who were subjected to annoyances
and outrages. He was the implacable foe
of all bummers, and much preferred to save
than destroy. Yet the Confederacy had no
more consistent, determined or brave
ouemy than Lovell H. Rousseau.
At the close of the war, haviug been
elected to the thirty-ninth Congress, ho
sustained the policy of President Johnson,
though not identifying himself with the
Democratic party. In 1860, he cuued a
reverend member of Congress from Iowa,
for calling in question bis military course,
for which tho House passed resolutions of
censure; Ifut his constituent?-Confederates
and all-unanimously re-elected him. Soon
after, President Johnson nominated him to
n vacant Brigadiersbip in the regular army.
After a struggle, he was confirmed without
the sacrifice of bis conservativo principles.
Tho people of Now Orleans were much in?
debted to the deceased for his discreet con?
duct during tho late riots in that city.
In his death tho country loses one of its
bravest officers; bis family a devoted hus?
band and father, and bis friends one who
would uever desert them under any circum?
stances. He was incapable of a mean net,
and hated mean men. Generous, noble,
bravo and true himself, he had little use
for those who did not possess some of these
qualities. Tho deceased was about fifty

SOUTHERN DOCILITY.-Since the remarka?

and forks in them, begging to be eaten, wc

workings of reconstruction, negro suffrage,

sublime patience of St. Lawrence is snr

saint bad lain some time extended on hil
red-hot gridiron, be calmly said to the exe
cutioner, "Will you bavo tho kindness ti
turu mo, os I am quito done on the uudei
side?" The executioner, a trifle astonished
did as he was requested, and soon afte
the saint, again speaking, said, "I'll bi
obliged if you'll take mo up-I am dono ti
a turn, and now in a fit condition for eat

this renowned saint under his fier}' persecu

who have been grilled so loug on thc red
hot gridirons of radicalism. Forney say
they ure delighted, enraptured with thei
new condition, and hnvo distilled blessiug
out of what they formerly conceived to be

been hot, but it has done them to a turn.
