In letter from John Mitchell to the Chicago
Free Democrat, dated June 10th, the following
passage occurs: "There is no Democratic party
now that am aware Of 1t was kept alive four
years longer than it had any right to live, by the
generous zeal and attachment of the Irish born
citizens of the Northern States, who loved it for
the traditions and associations Of its vigorous
prime. 1t is impossible any longer to belong to
a party which is dead and gone, the soul having
gone out of it, and the very body torn from limb
to limb. If had any credit with my fellow,
countrymen, should exhort them to seek new
combinations-to isolate themselves no longer as
the "Irsh vote"-to merge in the several organ
izations of their fellow citizens, and be guided in
, all public affairs by their own views of right,
and the political interests of the community in
which they live." We do not quote Mr.. Mitch
ell as "authority"-but he was formerly in high
favor with his Democratic brethren. Certainly,
in the above extract, be gives most excellent ad-
vice.

This instrument is a semicircular plate, with a
needebox attached to the diameter and the circu lar

with verniers at both ends, the bearing of line
be read for any number of degrees minutes
The plate is divided to form, with the scale Of
the alldade traverse table of lines instead of num-
bers, which gives at the latitude and departure
of any course and distance run.
The table answers the same purpose for ascertain
ing heights and distances the required distance is
read from the plate without the trouble of referring
to the logarlthmic tables.
1t gives the horizontal measurement of the lines OF
survey and where there is local attraction the lines
can be traced independent of the needle, there being
two pair of sights, enabling the surveyor to form at
The variation of an old line is easily calculated on
it, and for such work as leveling for mill races or
draining land it answers every purpose of the level.
There is an attachment for solving oblique TRAN
giles, which gives the base and perpendicular of the
Triangle from which the area can be ascertaned very
readily and it also gives the bearing and distance OF
the closing line in division ct land.
The instrument can be used with either the sights
or telescope.

The Covode report attracts the attention OF
the press, and even the neutral papers declare
that it gives evidence of corruption at Wash
ington. The New York Sun concludes that
"The inquiry was no doubt suggested and car
ried on in partizan spirit, but the results of the
investigation, placed in their most favorable
light, are sufficient to lower the administration.
1t is to be hoped that this exposure will have
the effect to prevent future Administrations
from using the power of the Government to
carry out mere psrty measures, by bestowing
the official patronage on those who will most
servilely carry out the Presidents commands"
