$he parson Baits Appeal CAUSOV atarday. CITY t March S9. 173. RETE1LLR OX BRIDLET, KOTEROR It is not pleasant, although unquestionably-instructive, to witness the emis sions of unbridled criticism of the caus tic and vituperative sort which are poured upon his Excellency, Governor Bradlev, by the managers of Democratic newspapers who have been disappointed by his acts or his non action in relation to certain matters and things wherein they are interested. Far be it from na to taks any sides in these matters ; far be H from ns to fan the flames of dissen sion, which have alienated as many as three rigidly virtnons Democratic news papers from his Excellency and his Ex cellency's friends ; God forbid that we should do anything to intensify the feel ings of estrangement, not to say enmjty hi. h have sorauz up between the two rival Southern factions (" the high and low chivs.," as they are somewhat di respecttuHv termed ;) aud Heaven foro fend that we should widen the breach which is even now only too wide be tweeu certain of our esteemed fellow citizens of" the guod old Democratic faith and the more intimate associates and chosen advisers of Governor Bradley. Feeling thus we cannot but deprecate ueh language as the following, which the, rnmmeiits of the Reese Iiiver j ftcreiie on His EwMmry's veto of the Battle Mountain and Austin Railroad Bill. S.iys onr exasperated contempo rary : ' We are disajipointed with the Gov ernor's message ; we had expected to see an array of constitutional objections and plausibly drawn sophistries to explain away his unexpected and unaccountable veto ; but findpnstead a disingenuous and frivolous document. The Governor was evidently very hard up for good reasons, or any reasons at all, for he makes but two points, and it is difficult to ay which of the two is the most contempt ible. The first, referring to the title of the bill, and that it is calculated to de wi is too tnflinc to merit attention. It is not only trifling but dishonest, for His Excellency certainly knows that the people direetlv interested were aware of OX lUC fOOOtOM vtoMftow, mad &j were willing and even anxious to have the charter on those terms. Bnt theheiehtof impudence i reached when be coolly tells us that " it may be possible that the required number of pe titioners may be procured, and every one of them may bs unaware of the real con sequences of his signature," and that " the signing of a petition to grant the right of way would be an yrnorant assent to an enormous burden of taxation." If tha Governor means what he says, why, in the name of consistency, does he not end his vaqueros to Austin to brand I every mother's son of ns, and keep ns in one herd ? In his opinion we are but a lot of stupid cattle, unable to understand the consequences of our own acts. We have no patience to say more on this subject ; the Governor's message con tains nothing out gratuitous lusuu to ns all, and theauly excuse we can think of n that he signed it without consider ing what he was signing." THS' CrsTEvsiAi. Exposition at Phila delphia seems to be an assured success. Pennsylvania, with a showing of public spirit which invites emulation, has ap propriated the munificent sum of one million dollars for the furtherance of that enterprise ; and no donbt the mu nicipality of Philadelphia will appropri ate a no Iese handsome sum. Such an exhibition of faith in this grand under taking as is hereby exhibited and such a hearty determination to promote its full success as is thuswise evinced cannot fail of encouraging the people of the other States of the Union to avail them selves of the opportunities which are offered for taking stock in the projected Fair. The narrow view to take of this matter leaves us looking at the probable gains which will accrue to those who will have the handling of this grand scheme ; but if we hesitate to take part in any patriotic enterprises merely be cause somebody with more of the alloy of selfishness in his patriotism than we. ourselves have, takes a leading interest in tbeir promotion, we shall eternally sit in a moody and unprofitable silence. segregating ourselves from the light some and attractive follies of this world- while doubtfully contemplating the ma terial profitableness of the promised glit ter which characterizes the pavements of the better world to come! A.et ns confidingly take some stock. TaxastraxK SPEtxra ia half inclined to 8 aspect that Oakes Ames has "sank" that $5,000 worth of Credit Mobilier bonds abandoned by Kelly and sent on to Oakea by Spinner for identification. Ths Post Whiitikk who misapplied his earnest honestnesa of good feeling so far as to memorialize the Massachu setts Legislature in behalf of the ex punction of the resolutions of that body censuring Charles Sumner for his super cilious motion to erase the name of Union-won victories from our battle flags, has tk-en taught that even so pure a minded man as he, and one so highly respected, fails of the influence to induce the representatives of the people of bard-headed M issa---husetts to retract a just expression of censure when once it has been levelled at the inexcusable im pertinence of a politically faithless pub lic servant of that self-respectful com monwealth. Xew Voax is not wholly bad. Her Senate consummated the impeachment of Barnard and has compelled the resig nation of Tweed.' The horn of the Boss is no longer exalted: there is a limit to human forbearance and there not being dividends enonph to satisfy the public tppetite for being bribed, there came upon him a simoon of popular disaffec tion and he was withered like a desiciited parsnip. There could be but one Gar vey to reap the golden harvest of a plas tering job whose exalted price made gypsnni a precious mineral ana cows hair worth its weight in the gossamer fabrics of the Orient; and they who could share in the tempting profits of a hundred and eiyhty thousand dollars worth of thermometers spread out too thin to be of any substantial avail in stemming the suiting torrent of public opinion. 1 weed s misiortuue is mat ms field of operations was too far removed from the shovel shops of South Easton and the Young Men'B Christian Associa tion of South Bend. Host. James Dnos, late a Senator in Congress from the State of Connecticut, is dead died of heart disease, at his home, aged 58 years. Mr. Lanman in forms us that the deceased was a lawyer; a member, during several terms, of the Legislature of his native State ; was a one term member of the National House of Representatives ; and served twelve years in the Senate. He dis. and extin guished himself by voting against the imneachment of Andrew Johnson. He was a graduate of Williams College, Mass. - Train has depreciated into a common smut vender tainted with insanity, and Lis last appearance in public is thus stated in the dispatches: George Francis Train was before the Supreme Coort to-day on habeas corpus, and his counsel moved for his discharge on the ground that when Train was originally indicted for circulat ing obscene literature he pleaded guilty; out, nevertheless, was never sentenced. It wai hnan to the roii rt. however, that the indict. ment was indorsed "not guilty," and hence tb case was turned over to the Criminal Court K.w it comes nn to-morrow. Tiain made i few remarks referring to his incarceration and the attempt to have him declared a lunatic It is but frankness, however, to con fess the fact that the very thick sprinkl ings of wit and learning and eppigram- matic sense with which Train's eccentric sayings have been peppered have made him such a paradox as to leave the tired minds of his inquisitors no other re source than to cut the question short and pronounce him crazy. W have all along entertained doubts of the wisdom and patriotism of the In ternationals, but the proposition lately made by one of that number in the Chi cago Convention in the United Order of (stone and brick) Masons, to hang old Vanderbilt to the first lamp-post, is so thoroughly in harmony with the popu lar wish and the acknowledged necessi ties of society, aa to shake our adverse opinions concerning that organization. Cap's Jack and Shack Nasty Jim still flaunt their lousy colors in the lantern jawed face of Uncle Sam ; and now they are to be ministered to by Parsons Thomas and Dyer, whose business is to pray them out of the lava-beds into the affectionate embrace of the Web-feet of Southeastern Oregon.

Oakea Antes "ante he has been requested to in dorse the bonds that they mll.t be made avail able to the Tn-ssury. The question occurs, however, that aa Kelly did net consider the beads hia own and that be never had any own ership in tbem. hence Ames leaves the matter with his attorney for settlement. Amea also saya he has written to the Attorney General that the Credit Mobilier Company do not Intend to give up its booSg to the I ttited Mates, oat will offer them (or inspection. A conference ot committees of the employer and jonrneviuen carpenters was held last even ins, but it is understood that no settlement was arrived at on the eight-hour question. The final meeting takes place on Thursday next. The gaa men meet on Monday. If the companies then refuse to return to the eitfht-bour system, and place additional men at work, the strike will take olace on the Monday following.

Tbb Beno papers are wrestling over the dam question not in the profane sense which the sound of the expression conveys but the artificial obstructions of the Trackee Biver so far as said ob structions interfere with trout naviga tion along the course of that stream. In relating its side of this important ques tion, the Crescent says; The real obstruction if any obstruction ever existed still remains, and that ia the dam of the Reno Mill Company, but the fact that trout have been caught in the trap above the dam proves that at least it does not prevent all the tish from going up the stream, and the trap it self was so situated that it could catch but few fish, being near one side of the river learine. the balance free from any obstruction. Foemost has been sentenced, as a contumacious defendant who won't come into Court, to Sve years imprisonment in France. This is a iere formality; for the Path-gnder has found tiiC trail which leads to bankruptcy in Cincinnati, and it is probable that he would rather disclaim his own assets in an American Court than that any part of him should be immured within the limits of a French jail.
