vailed and the rest of the resolution

been to raise tha. President's salary,

Thia statement is grossly incorrect.
Whether .through ignorance, forget-
fulness or design we do not know, but
Senator : Thuxmaa . la making . this
statement conspicuously ., departed ;
from the truth. ' These are the nets : ;
When . the appropriation bill came
back from the House ' to the Senate !
'with the salary clause inserted, Sen-
ator Morton moved to strike out all '
that related to the salaries of Senators
ad Representatives. This motion
was entertained by the President, but ,
at the suggestion of a Senator, and for
" parliamentary reasons, Senator Mor- I
".ton withdrew his motion temporarily.!
. Afterwards it was renewed by Senator
' Edmonds, put to vote, and Morton
voted for it. The motion of Edmonds,1
" which Thurman says Senator Morton
voted against, was first made by Mor
ton himself, who afterwards voted for
it when renewed by ' Edmonds. So
grossly incorrect a statement on the
. part of Senator Thurman calls for an
explanation from that gentleman. la

The Treasury Department is

ly detected five hundred dollar le

, tion of the public, it may be well
, to state that the description of dif
ferences between the genuine and

tion will not likely prove to be such
a "clincher" on the fraud as might
be expected. , The curves and an- i
gles in the engraving of the coun terfeit
may be easily made (o exact -'

superflous lines can be burnished
out, or where necessary, new lines
can be supplied by a few cuts with

the counterfeit note, it is found that
in the instances mentioned in . the
description made by the Govern
ment engraver, the counterfeiter
has left room for darkening or
lightening the lines which are spo
ken of as too heavy or too light,
; which is well known as an old trick
' ' of counterfeiters. The fibre paper
about which the Government has

took paias to be polite to, and how he
did bamboozle them !

legal giant, but the youthful author of
much unpublished poetry,: was em
ployed to conduct the defence. I was
confident of a brilliant victory if
only Old Gin kept his finger out of
the pie. I thought once of securing
hint on my side; but I knew he would
take all the credit to himself, and I
had no wish to be shorn of my laurels.
When my case was reached, much
to my relief, Old Gin was not on hand.
It was early in the term, and residing
in another county, he had not made
his appearance yet. .
I announced myself ready; but much
to my disgust, Mr. Fallowbrain asked
for a day's postponement. His client,
he said, had lately employed Mr.
Ginguzzle, who was expected that
evening, and. the defence would be
ready to go on to-morrow.
I protested against the delay, and
insisted that the unexplained absence
of one counsel, when another was
present' especially one as competent
as my learned friend was no ground
for adjourning a trial. " !
The judge knew I was right, but he
was too much afraid of Old Gin to say
so. He knew what a rumpus the old
fellow would raise when he came, if
the case was forced on in his absence.
The trial, accordingly, was set down
for the following day, then to go on
peremptorily.. ,.,'..
I left the court house much cha
grined. I think I could have heard
with composure of an accident on the
train Old Gin was coming on, if no
thing worse had happened than break
ing the old sinner a neck. . . ,
It was in thia frame of mind that I
met my friend, Sam Pokefun, the best
fellow at the bar. only a little too
much inclined to practically joke.
I explained the situation to Sam

tie entertainment to be given at Sam's
room after supper. It was to be a
strictly private affair none but the
three of us to be present, and the sup-
tlv of Bourbon to be unlimited.
Old Gin highly appreciated such at
tentions from his juniors, and it was
wonderful how agreeably convivial he
could make himself at their expense.
Un this occasion he outshone him

At length we heard Uld tfin s door
open, and a moment after there came
an uproar that attorded ample excuse
for our rushing into his room, and, in
affected terror, demanding what was
the matter. .
"Matter?" roared Old Gin, rushing
after the Bnake with the poker, and
knocking over everything in his way.
"Just see what I have found in my
boot!" making a furious blow,which
the snake dodged.
See what asked Bam.

making another ineffectual stroke.

" Meantime the snake had disan

which only served to hirhten Old
Gin's alarm, as it convinced him that
his former impressions had all been
delusive.

patient, I hastened to call in Dr. Pro

March 6, 1873. The section providing
for an election is as follows:
, "Sec. 82. On the second Tuesday

Speneai f Mesa, Will
We make the following extracts
from the speech of Hon. Will Cum
back, at the Harvest Home eelebra
tion in Hamilton county, Ohio, the
other day: :.,
It has often struck me with won
der that the American people do
not have many such holidays as this.
Taere are no people in the world
who can better afford to devote
their time to this sort of sooial en
joyment than . the people of . these
United States. We live in hind
of plenty. Labor is ' well reward
ed, and all classes have the comforts
of life within their reach.,' We
ought to be the happiest people in
the world, and we would be, if we
would only take time to be.
As a people we work too hard,
and place too high an eitiraata -on
the acquisition of wealth. '"It; is a
good thing to be rich, if we do not
pay too much for it. Bat; if we
sacrifice our social natures and de
stroy all the kinder and finer feel
ings of the soul if we become so
Absorbed in the pursuit of gain as
to forget the claims of our neigh
bor upon us, and become entirely
selfish, then, in the acquisition of
wealth on these terms, we have lost
much more than we have gained.
If the farmer would oftener leave
his farm, the mechanic his shop,
and the professional man his office,
and all come together to cultivate
their social natures, and learn that
there is a sweeter and better life
than that of living solely for selfish
ends, it seems manifest to me that
not only would their lives be hap
pier, but the moral effect would be
good. 5
The more a man loves his neigh
bors and is loved by them, the more
will he strive to deserve their good
opinion, the less apt will he be to do
evil and forfeit their confidence and
regard. -:
The good opinion of others
is a powerful lever , to lut
man to a higher and better life, and
a strong and substantial , prop ; to
hold him from falling into immoral
and vicious habits.
Let us oftener call a halt in the
hot pursuit after weath. -' Let not
the flame for riches be fanned until
it shall have consumed all those
nobler traits that make man god
like. Let us give the physical and
mental powers more relaxation, and
let the heart with the sweet perfume
of unselfish affection be permitted
oftener to drive away the weariness
of more selfish pursuits.
God made man a social being.
This characteristic of his nature is
as marked as any other. The de
mands oi this part of his being
must be met and its wants gratified,
or the man will not fill the place in
the universe that it was intended
he should, as his development and
and growth will be imiierfect. i But,
as I said before, as a people wo are
nviking haste to be rich, and we are
in a hurry about it that we not only
forget each other, -but ignore the
God that made us and His laws for
our guidance. V
If the fountain is pure, the stream
flowing therefrom will be like it;
but if the fountain be corrupt, the
stream can not be otherwise. r
The Savior, in the sermon on the
mount, stated the whole truth in
plain language when he said, "A
good tree can not bring forth evil
fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit. :
The laws, and the law makers,
and the administration of public
affairs, will fairly and honestly re
flect the state of popular morals.
The character, of "bur public men
will not rise much above the aver
age morality of the constituent, and
it is not apt to fall much below it.
n this country all power is with
the people, to make and repeal laws,
and pull down old constitutions and
construct new ones. So from the
same source flow the influences that
arc mightier than the law and give
tone and character to our religion
and civilization. I say this .influ
ence is mightier than the law, be
cause no law that is not in accord
with the popular will has any vital
orce. The history of the world
proves the fact that even where the
power was in the hands of the mon
arch it was exceedingly difficult to
enforce unpopular laws. :. In this
country it is impossible. It is mani
fest then that the work of the pres
ent is to purify and enlighten the
source of power and influence in
this land of ours. I concede the
magnitude and difficulty of the
work. The "Black Fridays", on
Wall street, New York, its : "cor
ners," and gigantic swindles, where
robbery and rascality appear in
open day, and, if successful, receive
the cheers and applause of the
crowd, the open robbery of the ex
press trains through the land, the
lefalcabon of public officers and
the embezzlement of the custo
dians of the funded private corpor
ations the Credit Mobilier swin
die, and the salary grab are not the
disease; they are but the eruptions
on the bidy politic showing that
the money getting spirit of the
times h corrupted the very blood.
The punishment of these offend
ers will check, but not cure the dis
ease. . '.
It is but fair to concede that the
disposition to expose and punish
crime is constantly becoming stong
er. This is a healthful indication.
and is good as far as it goes. But if
we can reach the source of the dis
ease and destroy the causes that
produce these deplorable effects, it
is our dnty to do it.
Passing - high sounding resolu
tions at political conventions will
not do the work.' Putting one par
ty out of power and giving the
scepter to another will not accom
plish anything. ., The trouble is
deeper, and requires more heroic
treatment. , The pulpit, the press
and the platform the great educa
tors of the people must atiack the
mercenary spirit of the times, and
inculcate a higher and purer tone
in every day transactions of men.
Theii efforts must be promptly se
conded by all men with clean hands -.
and pure hearts. ' No others can be
of any service in the work of re- -
formation. ; The men who love their .
neighbors as themselves, and who
do unto others as they would that
others should do unto them, must'
be the host that are to overthrow
the temples of covetonsness,! and
bring into" disrepute the worship of
Mammon. ;
In organizing for the grand con
flict, all the moral ' agencies must
tike their places in the ranks. The
church of Christ must lead the host.
in the future as in the past. Let
no bickerings about forms and cere
monies, or modes of worship, divide
her rank or detract from her
strength, but in the spirit of the
Master moke uncompromising war
upon th sins and ills that covet-;
ousnese and selfishness have broug't
into the world. Let her ministers, -
with tho boldness of a Paul, impress
the great central truth of Christi
anity on all the -church members, ,
that if. they have not the unselfish
and self-sacrificing spirit of Christ,
they are none of His. If her tem
ples have become dishonored by the j
presence of those who love money
more than principles, and riches
more than righteousness, let them
be driven forth from the Church as
the Master drove the money chang
ers from the temple of , Jerusalem.
Having purified h&r own ranks, she
will be the attractive point around
which will gather all the reforma
tory agencies, and the pure princi
ples of Christ will be the common ;
platform upon which all will stand.
Keeping' Apple.
A successful orchardist in Maine
has an odd theory in regard to' tho
decay of apples. His farm of fifty
acres, with the exception of about
ten acres in pasturage, is covered
with apple trees of various sizes
and ages, though a majority of tlicm
are now bearing. One of his theories
is not to use any animal manure
around his trees, but to ' depend
wholly upon vegetable manure in
the form of mulching. ' He defends
this position upon the ground that
the one is the natural method and
the other artificial the latter tend
ing to decay and the former to
health. -f ' ;
,! He kept over 1,200 bushtdsof ap--pies,
mostly Baldwins, through the
past winter and spring in his cellar,
and has only just sold the last of
them, the prices ranging from $1 to
$2 per bushel. - He says by his
mode apples may be kept the year :
round without losing their richness
or crispness; and his method should
be understood by every orchardist.
His theory is that the early rotting
and decay of apples is due, to a
great extent, to a vegetable miasma
in the air, which is communicated
to it by vegetable evaporation un
der cerbun conditions. The effect
of this miasma is first seen in a
minute epeck; sometimes about a
dozen may be counted on the same
apple. His remedy is a daily air
ing of the cellar or place where the
apples are stored, arranging so as
to have a brisk circulation until all
the stagnant air is expelled and its
place occupied by pure, healthy air.

The move. They are scarcely set

to make preparations to emigrate
to another. They never succeed in
life because they never give them
selves time to do no. They spend

In a aihnlar way we have a class

Their fickleness : and irresolution

unable to do any service to any or

comes the Democratic politian, who
declares that there ah juld be a new
deal by all means anything for a
change. Whatever may turn np he
can be no worse off than he is at
present, and he welcomes Uie pros
pect with a glad heart . Then come
the birds of passage, who are al
ways ripe for a change. They have
stayed in one place long ' enough
and they are longing once more for
the novelty and the possible advan
tages of another. There are, in ad
dition to these, a few good and true
men, who have read of fraud, - cor
ruption, and dishonesty, until they
fancy that perhaps all thia is occa
sioned by the old party names; that
if they onco take a Republican . or
Democratic thief, dress him np in

"Perhaps," reasons these honest
souls, "if all of us Republicans got
together and called ourselves the
People's party,", and nominated
Brown, we should get an unpolln
ted and unpnrchasable candidate:
whereas, if .we all get together ', as
Republicans and nominate the same
Brown we migh t get a rascal" They
forget that it is not the party that
makes the men, but the men who
make the party. The fact that the
Republican partv is ready to de-
nouce its own unworthy servants
and demand their removal from
office, proves that its work is not
ended, but that it occupies a higher
plane of politics than any party that
has ever existed in thia country. It
winks at no wrong; it overs up no
crime; it apologizes for no delin
quency. It has not been by the op
position but by ..Republicans that
rogues have been exposed and in-
lquitv punished. It was not a
Democrat, or a liberal, or an Inde
pendent, who demanded the inves
ligation into the affairs of the Cred
it Mobilier. It was not a Demo
cratic but a Republican committee
that declared that Caldwell, a Re
publican Senator, should be expell
ed. Republicans drove a specula
tor in West Point cadetships from
the House in disgrace; Republicans
gave lip a seat in the House, ob
tained by use of the party impro
perly, to his Democratic contestant.
Republicans made the investigation
into the alleged frauds of the .Fa
cific Mail Steamship litre, and had
a committee of inquiry on the track
of every person who was charged
with delinquencies. What a sight
it would be, what a commentary on
the instice and intelligence of the
people if, seemingly because of thia
fearless anti praiseworthy action
the party performing it, was to be
driven from power to make room
for a hungry crowd of designing
men whose every act betrays the
hollowness of their virtuous pro
testations. It would be like sow
ing broadcast in a field the seeds of
the Canada thistle because here and
there nettles and burdocks had
made their appearance. Steadi
ness of purpose, hard work
in the old field at the scattering
enemies of political culture, what
the country needs. Not the letting
loose of a more noxious plant, or
the abandonment of the hornet t?ad

In his late speech before the
Southern Histonal Society, ' Jeff.
Davis informed his fellow-historians,
that "the South - was more
cheated and defrauded than con
quered, by the declarations of the
Federal President, Congress and
generals, and there never could
have been a surrender,' had the
Confederates anticimted what has
since occurred and to-day we would 1 1
nave been tree."-" "Cheated and de
frauded" are expressive terms. Lee '
surrendered because he was "cheat
ed"! by Grant,, and Johnson was
"defrauded" by Sherman out of his
sword. These expressions will ,
sound well in a Southern history, '
and may tend to make it" a;
popular text book in some sections.'
of the South. But they are far
from complimentary to the skillful
generals who led the Confederate
armies, or the brave men who "fell
fighting in their 'shattered ranks.
If our impressions are correct, Lee
fought until he could fight no
longer. His, retreat was cut off,
and to continue' the struggle would
have been, not soldiery, but butch
ery on his part. It was in view of
this hopeless condition of the rebel '
army, that General Grant sent the
following note to General Lee on
the 7th of April, 1865, two days be
fore the actual surrender took place.
"Uenesal : The result of the last
week must convince you of the hope
lessness of further resistance on
the part of the Army of. Northern
Virginia, in this struggle. , I feel
that it is so, and regard it as my
duty to shift from myself the re
sponsibility of any further effusion
of blood; by asking of you the sur
render of that ortion of the Con
fedenle States Army, known as the
Army of Northern Virginia." 1
This is the nrst effort on the part
of Grant to "cheat and 'defraud" '
Lee into the surrender of his army. v
Before JLee could make np his mind -
that Grants view was right, he
made one desperate effort to break
through our cavalry that - stood in .
the line cf his retreat - This was
on the 9th, the day of the surren
der. The effort failed. The last
ditch was reached, and the only al
ternative was surrender, or annihi
lation. Yet ' the historical Davis
say that the Confederates were not '
conqnered. but "cheated and de '
branded - into a surrender. If he
had stood by Lee during that fiery
trial, instead of seeking ' safety in
headlong flight, he would have .
thought differently. "If the Con
federates anticipated what has since .
occurred they would never have sur
rendered," says this silly old revo-.
lutionist. If tho Confederates an
ticipated what followed the firing
on Snmpter, there would have been
no war. J5ut they followed jjavis
and a few false prophets to antici
pate for them, and the result was a
bloody and devastating war. - Yet
this prophet of evil, who has done
greater injury to tho South than
any one man, living or dead, has
the effrontery t stand among the
people he ruined, and justify the
treason he practiced, and preach its.
return as one of the sacred duties
of the rising generation. Instead ,
of following the example of Lee,'
who counselled the Southern peo
ple to seek the restoration of form
! er prosperity through peace and in
dustry, Jen. Davis is going from
place to place, keeping alive the
ealousies of the war, fanning the
flames of passion; and sowing the
seeds of another rebellion among
a people who sincerely desire peace.
We believe there is enough good
sense in the South to counteract
the influence of this bad man. Wo
can hardly believe that the applause
which greeted him at White bul-
tinr Springs, Virginia, was the.
sentiment of the Southern people.
If it was, the work , of reconstruc
tion will be long delayed, and . the
best interests of tho South will suf-?
fer accordingly. If such treason-
able speeches as those uttered by
Jeff. Davis are to be tolerated in
tlie South we may well despair of
seeing loyalty, the governing ele
ment in that section.' li Davis has
any friends who believe the Union
is better than the disorder he would
bring about, they should send him
abroad, or advise nun to keep silent.

The Boston Globe says of tho
Lemon t holocaust:
It Is obvious that power should
be given to station masters to en
force the roles of the road against
engineers and conductors. It will
not do to leave the parties whose
negligence is most likely to cause
accidents uncontrolled in the exer
cise of responsibility. There should
be a rule that no train can leave a
station till the official announcement
that the track is clear is conmmni
cated to the duly authorized agent
of the road, without whose permis
sion, no engineer ' or . conductor
would be allowed to move on. The
use of the telegraph, whenever,
trains are behind time, seems ab
solutely necessary to insure safety,
and train-dispatchers should be in
receipt of exact information "as to-
the location of trains in order to
guard against danger of collision.
The Lemont disaster also shows the
importance of a double track, and
there is no reason why a great
trunk road like the- Alton should
not adopt this means of preventing '
such catastrophes, which are always
likely to occur if all the appliances
for protection to the safety, of pas
sengers are not adopted. ; '
