The LEGISLATIVE BRIBERY CAsE.-The
Boston correspondent Of the Springfield Re-
publican makes the following explanation of
the bribery case which has been brought to the
notice of the legislature, and will be made the
subject of investigation the present week:
The attorney implicated is j. w. Hubbard
He was junior counsel for the metropolitan
road, Mr.. H. T. Durant being the senior. Mr.
James NJ. Stone informs me that Mr. Hubbard
came to him one day, and asked him if he
knew Mr.. Shaw. ayes" "Well, will you
hand him this, for / do not want to call him
out!" Mr.. Stons assented, as any one else
would. Mr.. Hubbard then added, "Please tell
him who it is from, for the name is not with
it." Mr.. Stone handed Mr.. Shaw the letter,
not knowing or suspecting that it contained
anything of importance and when told, a few
days ago, of report that the money passed
through his hands, he denied it altogether, so
completely had he forgotten the incident. 1
have no doubt that this statement is correct
and as Mr.. Stones name is likely to be mixed
up with the affair, it is proper that the facts
should be known. 1t may be that no investi-
CATION will take place, for the House does not
seem to be very sensitive on the subject. 1t
is currently reported that the Metropolitan
road has expended or authorized the expendi-
ture of fifty thousand dollars to defeat the
Hobbs project.

1oU1s NAP0LEoN's POLICY.

The last intelligence from Europe leads men
anew to speculation in regard to the character
and purposes of the Emperor Napoleon. In all
such speculations one thing appears constantly,
to witt is invariably assumed that he is
the only sovereign in Europe from whom the
people of Italy can expect help. Great Brit
ain will give them nothing but good words, in
Guiding profession of good wishes Russia
must be faithful to the cause of absolutism
and Austria is the sworn foe of everything
that favors freedom. Everybody understands
that what is not done for Italy by France viii
remain undone and yet the English press is
in nothing more abundant than sharp criticism
on the Emperor's shortcomings in Italy
The government of Great Britain itself is
not free from serious responsibility IN regard
to Italy. 1t is not long since Louis Napoleon
nroposed to England an arrangement which
would have secured a complete settlement of
the Italian question. If England would agree
with him to defend the independence of Italy
against all outside interference, and leave the
people free to follow their own wishes, he
would bind himself in such treaty of alliance
with that power. Those in charge of the Brit
ish government replied, thatthe policy propos-
ed was excellent. They would favor it by all
the influence of their diplomacy but England
declined to make engagements which might
involve her in war So it is always. Great
Britain talks well and does nothing All this
should be remembered, when we read English
criticism on the policy of France, and especi-
ally on the recent speech of the emperor.
1t is plausibly suggested that the real aim of
secure the meeting of a European congress
1t is remarked that he usually employs fears
and complications to carry his points, and
many believe he is employing them now
Austria, Russia and the pope, have put OBJ
structons in the way of the proposed congress,
which these new complications may overcome
Those who take this view of the matter may |
be correct Time will reveal. But we can all
see that this Italian question is not likely to
reach final settlement, at present. There |
will be gain to the side of free principles, but
not an end of the struggle. There is can ire
pressible conflict" not only in Italy, but
throughout Europe, which will finally termi-
nate in the complete overthrow of all the dy-
nasties and agencies of oppression. 1t will not
right gains, year by year, and its final triumph
is as sure as the final and irresistible suprem-
acy of reason and Justice.

THE NATIONAL MONUMENT TO LAFAYETTE.
Efforts are now being made to induce Congress
to authorize the erection of monumental stat
ue of Gen. Lafayette. This movement is in
perfect harmony with the generous sentiments
of the American people, which will not be sat
isied or fully expressed till a national monu-
mcnt is erected at the capital in testimony of
their grateful appreciation of his services in
the achievement of the independence of this
country. For it is well known that he was
the intimate associate and confidential friend
of Washington-ading in carrying on the war
with immense outlays from his own private
resources, and gaining the cooperation of the
French government by his own personal infu-
ence. This patriotic movement is scarcely
less important and praiseworthy than those
which have resulted in the erection of numer-
GUS monumental statues of his illustrious COM
panion in arms, the Father of his Country"
- Washington Constitution, March Sh.
The Constitution being the organ of the ad-
ministration, this paragraph shows how Mr..
Kinney's project is regarded in official quar-
tiers. We learn that it finds much favor among
members of Congress, and that it is very like
ly to succeed.

GIANT STRIDES IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
1t IS a world of wonders nobody can deny, we take
up the periodical of the day with the expectancy of
reading some new theory or discovery, as well as
seeing news in the abstract The transatlantic cleo
trio cable, at the time write, is fast expanding
from its central point in mdocean to its two ter
mini" on land, to link the hemispheres but at the
same time that we justly look upon this as a con-
vnelng proof of the great ''march of intellect we
must not lose sight of another and no less great pal
pable evidence of what giant intellect single
handed, can accomplish THOMAS Holloway
whose name las the great medical dictator of the
present age) it needs no submarine telegraph to
herald from one cline to another has, by means of
his two remedies, Pill and an Ointment long es-
tabhshed chain of communicating agencies around
the globe, without having recourse however to the
aid of electricity metal wire. As the poet has
designated man to be but "a link the great cfai, of
eatSatlon, /. SO may HOLLOWAY be said through the
lnstrumentality of his allpowerful remedies to
have organized Universal DiSpensary for the sick of
all nations without regard to creed or color wheth-
er civilized savage simple i'll their a-suflciencv
and within the reach of all.
What has led to these remarks at the present was
a visit we paid some time since to DR.. Holoway's
establishment in New York, and the inspection with
which we were then favored of some Of the innum-
cradle proofs of his vast enterprise from which we
deduce the almost uncomfortable extent to which his
labors have extended and the consequent universal
acceptation of his twin-remedies as speccs for in
ternal and external disease-pages might be written
in adducing proofs of this, but will serve to
eucldae the fact in the present instance sufficient
to convince the most sceptic. In proportion as
countries distinct and diversified, so are the
means of reaching all the scattered members of the
human family difficult to accomplish. To do this,
it would be necessary TO employ an almost "Pente-
costa" array of different tongues. Accordingly in
almost every living language has this enterprising
man made known his mission to suffering humanity,
and III no less than thirty distinct dialects have the
wondrous properties of his medicines been actually
printed, thus in their tongue enabling millions
to apply to their own peculiar these all power

Such "Giant Strides" these show the possibility
of one master mind successfully competing with the
capacities of hundreds backed by science ITSELF

Col. TIMOTHY BIGELow.-The name of Timothy
Bigelow stands conspicuous in the history of Wor-
cester. As early 1873 we find him on committee
with VIM. Young, David Bancroft, Samuel Curtis,
and Stephen Salisbury, to report upon the grevan-
ces under which the province labored and also upon
what was then called the Boston Pamphlet which
had been introduced at the town meeting in March.
The writer of this article thinks that this "Boston
Pamphlet" John Hancock's Grafton in COM
memoration ofthe "Bloody Massacre" of the 9TH of
March, 1770 AT the adjourned meeting, in May fol-
lowing, this committee made elaborate report
recommending committee of correspondence. The
town adopted the report, and elected the COM
mittee, VIM. Young, Timothy Bigelow and John
Smith. In December following the leading wings of
the town assembled and formed society, which af-
forwards took the of the American Political
Society, and Nathan Baldwin, Samuel Curtis,
and Timothy Bigelow, chosen committee
to report constitution. This society, with limo
thy Bigelow for a leader, did good service to the
town and to the country. Their last and most pow
erfu blow struck in town meeting, 18th of March,
1774 when the society presented long preamble
and resolutions which were considered by the roy
asts to be reasonable and revolutionary. ''When
these resolutions read" said an eye witness of
the to the writer, "fear, anxiety, and awful
suspense sat upon the cOuntenance OF every man OF
the whig party except Timothy Bigelow, the black
smith; while the tories pale with rage.n After
few moments james Putnam, the leader of the to-
res arose. Putnam said to be the best lawyer
in North America. His arguments were marked by
strong and clear reasoning logical precision and ar
rangement, and that sound judgment whose conclu-
sions were presented so forcibly to command as
sent" He made such speech against the resolu-
tions as had never before been heard in Worcester
and when he sat down, the same informant said that
"not man ofthe wing party thought single word
could be said THAT old Putnam the tory had wiped
them all out" Timothy Bigelow at lercth arose,
without learning, without practice in public speak
ing, without weath,tbe tories of Worcester had at
that day most fthe wealth and learning there
he stood upon the floor of the Old South Church,
met the Goliath of the day, and yanquished him
The governor Of Massachusetts Bay, and the crown
and parliament ofGreat Britain brought to feel
the effect Of his sling and stone Suffice tito say the
resolutions were carried triumphantly. This was
the first grand public effort made by Col Timothy
Bgelow in his part of the great drama of the Amer
icpn revolution. CHAPTER III.
