The Boston Courier, having been pressed to
publish the record of john A. Andrews testi-
mony before Senator Mason's committee, cop
les an extract from it, and says 1--WE give
Mr.. Andrews testimony" The conductors
OF that journal, as men who prize their own
sefrespect, should not be satisfied with such
ali operation as this. They do not give their
readers MIR. Andrews testimony - and the
brief extract which they do print does not con-
tain the passage to which we have repeatedly
called their attention. Evidently, the Courier
cannot afford to show its readers the truth
That journal has done what it could TO circu
late talsifications of the views of John A An
drew, and it has refused to publish the truth
in regard to him. 1t persists in refusing to
give its readers full statement of the case.
An honest purpose does not behave in this
way.

The Boston correspondent of the New York
Tribune relates the following incident, as it
had been told to him -
An old wing ex-oficeholder, getting short
of pocket money, went to the state house the
other day to draw his salary, which he said
had been running for nearly six years. He
thought he "might as well take it up" And
when the treasurer told him he had nothing
for him, and reminded him that he had been
turned out by Gardner in 1866, he expressed
the greatest surprise. He recoected seeing
some such rumor in the newspapers, but did
not credit it-"didn't think it could be posi-.
Bile"
Hon. Cbas. Sumner will address the citisens
of Chicago, and five other places in Illinois, to
be designated by the Chicago republican COM
mittee, during the present presidential cam
paign. There is quite a competition among
the cities and large towns Of that state for the

The Douglas committee in New York, who
have been long at work on propositions for Il
fusion in New York, have rejected by a vote
of to the Breckenridge proposal, but sub
sequently received a communication from the
association of national volun-

that scheme was rejected, aid the high con.
tracing powers are out at sea again.

1t is safe to infer that some of our fellow
citizens who are ranging themselves under the
political banner on which the words "the
enforcement Of tile lars" are prominently in
scribed, do not consider that there is any harm
in multiplying the state liquor law, or ignoring
the statute against more than six per cent in
terest.-Boston Transcript
