namely, themselves."


1t is curious illustration of Eng
llsh narrowness, Of what Matthew
Arnold stigmatizes as "Philistenism,'
that philosopher should be held res
ponsible to mob at the polls for an
expression which escaped from him in
discussing question 50 abstract that
only few cultivated and dispassionate
minds can understand it. But it is
one of the penalties of thinking in Eng
land, that the thinker shall bc exposed
to the brutality of crowd Of bullics,
calling themselves men of education
respectability, and honor.
i-H HENXARE or THEM!
There is a inl!ing Advertising
firm IN New York city which goes by
the name Of Matller e. Co. They
have been owing US bills for years past
and we cannot get the first cant. A
few months ago we sent our bill to them
with a request to have them send US
Printing ink in payment. Not hear
ing from them We had begin to facili-
tate ourselves with the hope that If
we could get nothing for old scores VIC
had got rid Of their volumaious CORES
pondence, But not so they have open
ed on us again, and seek still further
to pursue their confidence" game. We.
have matter Of 1854 against them
which they must cancel before we shall
do another thing on their orler, and
until this is done they can save their
postage by keeping their circulars at
home. Jus; now we are crowded and
oyerrun with advertis erlents from
business firms here at home, and have
no occasion to patronize swindling ma
chimes from abroad Decorah Repub-
Tic.
We can fully endorse every word
that the Republic says of the firm Of
Mather e. c.. Sometime since the
firm was Mathcr g. Abbot, now Math-
er Co. while the Abbott of the old
Abbott & Co. No one of these firms
ever paid a debt that they could
avoid no matter how honest. They
are all of them thieves and swindlers.
Still Mather e. Co. write us In reply
to a call for pay on debts due us, that
they are doing a large cash busi-
ness. No doubt Of it;they get the cash
from their customers and swindle the
printer out Of his money when earned.
In that way they can afford to do a
a cash business at the expense Of their
reputation for honesty and fair deal
Ing though. Good bye Mather & Alb
bot, Mather & Co., and Abbot & Go.
ANOTHER BRUTUS WANTFD. aa
The editor Of the New York Indepen-
dent asserts that the method of treating
the Southern States, propo sed by Pres
ident Johnson, calls for the interposi-
tons of Divine Providence for it's de
feat.-W hatever this language may
mean in the mouth of 'loyalty," there
can be no doubt rs to what the construc-
tion would have been had Dem crat
utterd it, Mr.. Tilton hints darkly at
the necessity for another Brutus, and
invites assassination by justiiiins it.
AS he is one Of the saints in the loyal
calendar his wish will be echoed by
all the lesser Tiltons throughout tho
country.-Erchauge
A man noted for his quick wit, while
