Politicians President-making.

Congress is notlegislating for the good of
the country. That which is most foreign to
its legitimate business, is the very thing IN
order. Members are leaving the Govern
ment to take care of itself, while they are
playing game for the magnificent stake of
fifty millions year. The Presidency-the
chances of this man and that man-"BUc-
HANAN stock" and "ScoTT stock" "CAss
stock and sold Fogies' are the only
topics which Honrable gentlemen deem
worthy of their attention. Now what right
have politicians to be making President
That is the business and the privilege of the
people. Yet these servants of the people,
very humble and obsequious to be SURF, when
their term is nearly out-are setting them
selves up above the people, and seeking to
palm upon them President whom Hon.
orable members can strike the best bargain
with. Washington is the sink Of corruption
and the focus of intrigue and politicians
such as are members of Congress especially,
have the keenest relish for official plumber
1t is impossible to conjecture what alliance
and coaliations and considerations are enter
ed into between Honrable members and ri
val aspirants for the Presidency. The in
trigues of congressman and hireling letter:
writersa and hungry ofice-seekers about Wash
tington, should not be allowed to have the
least effect on the succession to the Presiden
cy. They are not looking to the public vel
fare, but to individual aggrandizement-
Their faUortte candidate is not the man tina
will best administer theaffairs of the country
but the friend who will give the richest sol
to his hackers and retainers The people
should pay no regard to the voice of thes
schemers in Washington. Not one Of then
should be allowed seat in either Of th
i National Conventions. The people mus
take into their own hands this importan
business Of President making. The mos

We learn, says the Southern Herald, from

of stock for the construction of the Chrystal
Blifce for the proposed. industrial exhibit
ton are going forward favorably, The whole
expenses, including the tcost.of the building,
will be only 100000 1t is calculated that
the number of travellers arriving daily in
New York, in the season, is 450, 000-which
alone would supplya sufficient number of
visitors to render the enterprise profitable
one. Since the maBy railways that have
their tcrmini in New York have been r&h-

BAYARD TAYLOR IN CENTRAL AFRICA -
The last arrivals from Europe brought fresh
advices from Bayard Taylor, one of the edi-
tors of the New York Tribune, who has been
travelling for some months past in Central
Africa. He had assembled the White Nile
500 miles above Khartoum into the country
of the Shillock tribe of negroes, the most
savage people he had found on his journey
Among them he had one or two dangerous
adventures, but came off safe and sound with
the loss of some trifing article of app;fel.-
He had turned to Khartoum, from which
place he was medtating speedy departure,
though to what route he had not decided
After month or two spent in that part of
Central Africa, be had learned all that was
possible in a short residence, of It's PECULIAR
ties and felt himself warned by the approach
ing heat of the season to be upon the move
DIR. Knobleeher's expedition to the sources
of the Nile will not leave Khartoum till lh,.
first of November next; and however glad,
Taylor would accompany it, he could n :
think of remaining for months in that eli
mate on purpose. His residence at Khrr
toum has been with Dr. Reitz, the Austria
Consul for Central Africa, the first European
diplomatic ever sent into those regions
The pets of Dr. Reitz's household are rather
peculiar; they are large lioness and leop-
aOd, the former, as Taylor says, was quite
dOcile and sportive; one of her tricks was
to take his leg in her mouth by way of
morning salutatiOn both she and the Loop
ard were as harmless and playful as dogs
The people of the country are spoken Of as
kind and dOcile. The men, Taylor says, are
large and splendid fellows, but the women
perfectly hideous.
DR.. Knoblecher is Catholic missionary.
Taylor speaks of him in the highest terms.
He is not above 35 years old, an active man,
of small statue, with a sanguine tempera-
ment and sandy beard His friendly man.
ners and readiness of resources especially
qualify him for his labors as an evangelist
among race of savages. There seems to be
no reason to doubt that he will have the glo.
ry of settling the problem of the sources Of
the Nile.-True Wing.
