ANOTHER EpIsToLARY WAR.-Messrs.
Crittenden and Ewing have both recently
published letters to correct statement
which appeared in one recently written by
J, Z. Spencer, the substance of which
statement was, that the late Cabinet, pre-
vlously to its quarrel with the President and
its explosion, advised him not to insert in
the second veto message then contempla-
ted by the President, declaration Of his in
tention not to be a candidate for reelection
to the Presidency; and that they also at
'empted to bargain with the President for
the retention OF their office by getting their
Wing friends in Congress, to postpone The
second bank bill, provided the President did
not disturb them in their office. To both
charges, Mr.. Cril;enden gives a positive
denial, a. far as he is concerned as one Of
the members Of that Cabinet His letter
sdiga'hed and gentlemapy. That of Mr..
Ewing low IN It's tone, vul gar, coarse,
and altogether beneath the dignity of IA gen.
tleman. He contradcts the charges in
such a way as to make people believe them
10 be true.-N. 7. Plebcian.

Authentic documents have recently been
discovered in the royal archives of Sala-
manca, by which it is proven that the ap-
plication of steam to machinery was known
to the Spaniard, as ia, back as the 18th
century. During the year 1912, Don
BIasco de Curry, captain of the navy,
submitted 10 the examination of the En-.
peror Charles V. machine moved by the
steam Of boiling water, by which ships,
however large, could be moved on calm
sea, without sails or oars. The experiment
vas tried, and found successrul; but as
the Emperor was aPprehensive the boilers
could not be made sufficiently strong to
prevent explosion. no attention was paid to
the invention. If we ere not mistaken,
this recent discovery establishes fact
which has heretofore res,ed on vague ira
d;,ion.-N O. Cresce1t.

DUKE OF ArHoL.-The estate of the present
Duke of Athol, Mr. Cotton informs us, 81. i'm
mense, running in one direction more than seventy
miles. On his estate there thirty six miles Of
well-made walks, which are being extended every
year. These roads and paths, being made for pleas
ure and laid through the most picturesque and ro-
mantle scenery;along the river bank, up the glen
cut in the steep sides OF the mountains and over
their tops, and along the margin of the preciptous
cliffs; into the forest gloom-now opening on
boundess prospect, or some sweet vale-now
bursting waterfu and next along he side, of
murmuring brook. The father of the present
Duke began in his life time, one of the most ma e.
nfcent palaces in the kingdom. 1t is said that in
the estimate of the cost of the edifce, the single
item of raising the walls and putting the roof,
together with the materials, would have been one
hundred thousand pounds-about five hundred
thousand dollars
Do yon envy the possessor Of all this wealth.
For more than thirty years, he has been in luna
tic asylum of London.

MEMORY 1t is strange-perhaps the strangest of
all the mnd's intrcacies-he sudden, the instanta
neous manner in which memory,by a single signal
casts wide the doors of those dark storehouses in
which long passed events have been shut up for
years. The signal-be il look, a tone an odor, a
single sentence-is the cabaastic word of the Ara
ban tale, at the potent gic of which the door of
the cave OF the robber Forgetfulness is cast sudden
y wide and all the treasures that il had concealed
displayed. Upon the memory of the traveller rush
ed up the visions of his youthful days. the spots of
boyhood the transient cares the quarrels soon for
gotten, the pains wnich passed away like summer
clouds, the pure sweet joys of youth, and nnocen-
ce, and ignorance ofl that never return when once
passed away.

THEORY AND PRACTlCE.-It has been
favorite theory with the Wing Party to in
sist that one of the chief dangers to which
the people are exposed, is the interference
of the office holders in the political con-
Germs Of the people. Hence there has been
world of defamation, denouncing in no
measured terms the abuses to which pub
lie .offices were applied. Those holding
public stations under the appointment and
patronage Of the government, have been
regarded as occupying position in which
they should not be allowed to use their Off
ces for the furtherence of party or political
purposes. When the wings came into pow
er in 1910, the correction of these alleged
abuses was among the promises held out to
the people, The theory here is doubtless
correct, but in practice it has been most
wofully disregarded especially in this Ter
ritory. In Wisconsin, from the Governor
down to the lowest Office in the gilt Of his
appointment, the power and influence Of
office has been prostituted to subserve the
purposes Of men and party. Instead Of
standing aloof from the political contests Of
the people, the office holders seem to regard
the tenure Office dependant upon the politi-
cal zeal with which they labor for their
master. We have travelling Executive;
whenever political assistance is needed to
sustain the powers that be, the Governor
Of the Territory, dispatches his orders to
his sheritfs, justices, supreme court COM
missioners, &c. &c. The vassal depend
ants mostly, are swift to obey the call
"we must work for our master or be kick
ed out Of his SERVICE" is the goading lash
that impels to action.
Here then is whig practice in contraiety
| to whig theory. General Harrison de-
clared, on his coming into power, that
| abuses of this kind would not be tolerated
| under the new administration the wing
presses congratulated the people upon the
prospect Of a political reformation. But
how grossly have these wing professions
been perverted: among the early appoint
ments Of President Harrison, was that of
! Doty to the office Of Governor of this Ter
ritory; and notwithstanding the Injunction
was placed upon him alike as upon others
of the Presidents appointment, not to in
terlere in the elections of the people, or
use the power committed to them for poll
teal purposes; yet how has this trust been
violated. A political market for the offices
in the gift Of the Executive has been open
ed, and those who are willing TO render
the greatest service in sustaining a corrupt
| Governor, have been most successful in
receiving Executive patronage; and with
shame too it must be said, there have been
few found liz the democratic ranks will
| ling to sell themselves for paltrv Office.
| However Incompatible this corrupt system
of bargain and sale may be to the liberties
of the people, and the interests of society,
we can have no hope for reformation SO
long as the prince of political corruption,
occupies the position Of chief Executive of
| the Territory of Wisconsin.
