Ex.Gov. RANDALL "A political assoc iation
has been formed at Washington under the title
Of National Union Club" and has issued a
call upon true union men to meet in w ashing
ton next week "Wednesday Tor the purpose Of
taking harmonious and effective action in sup.
port Of the President. From the following
attack upon exGov. Randall by the special
Washington correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune, We infer that he is patIiotically prom.
inent in the movement:
"The president Of the Club has been Wig.
orous war man, bat while assistant postmaster
general has shown strange sympathy for Sc.
cessionists by keeping disloyal clerks in posi-
ton. He is now violent supporter Of the
Presidents new policy. The lntelligencev
says Of the call: "A few weeks ago we had oc
casion to favor the gra nd popular demonstra
tion which, on the 22d of February, filed the
city with enthusiasm and the country with Joy

JOURNALISTIC INDEcENcY.-What a coarse,
indecent and vituperative sheet the Tribune
has become recently. 1t used to employ strong
language occasionally and afterwards apollo
gize, but now it INDUCES in the most ungentle.
manly and vulgar expressions, and seems to
delight in the abasement 1t cannot even al
lude, now, 10 its political opponents except in
language that is little better than Bllingsgate,
and it almost daily falsifes we'll known facts,
and refuses to do even common justice. A
journal thus conducted may please some viru.
lent partisans, but how can it expect to win
any share Of the public confidence? We all
know that one political party is no better than
the other, so far as morality is concerned. One
party does not contain all the saints and the
other all the sinners No sane person suppos.
es so. When, therefore. the Tribune speaks
as it does, of the democratic party as prison
re fuse, as the overaowing Of the stews, as a
party comprising all the thieves, rogues, black.
legs, all the dangerous classes" in fact, OF
our city, what must it think of the intelligence
Of its readers? What value must it place on
its self respect-its respect for truth and hon
esty7 1t is perfectly skare that such argu.
ments are not likely to convert one Of its op
ponents or crafty the taste Of respectable re.
publicans. Why should it disgrace ITSELF
therefore, and disgrace American journalism
by such exhibitions Of splenetie indecency?

PArER Socks Paper is certainly "progres.
sive article. Not content with forming materi
al out of which collars aud cuffs are made, it
aspires to still further encroachments npou the
domain of linnen, cotton and WOOL The news
papers now announce the Introduction of paper
socks. In regard to the last addition the Sci.
entifc American says: "The object of this in
vention consists iu producing new article Of
manufacture, viz. socks made Of paper and
muslin combined. 1t is we'll known that paper
is one OF the best materials for keeping in or
causing the body to retain its natural heat; in
other words, it prevents cold air from reaching
such parts ofthe body as may be snveloped in
it. The inventor designs his socks particularly
for use under or over a pair Of ordinary socks
or stockings, to be worn in cold weather; but it
is obvious that they can be made of kind of
paper which will last as long as an ordinary
pair would keep clean, and they can be made
so cheaply that their cost will not equal the
price OF washing" Surely. the world is ad-
vancing, for paper socks, indeed, will prove a
novelty. If they can be manufactured as
cheaply as their inventor claims, they will rap.
idly grow into general use, and thus lessen the
profits Of the washerwoman. If we can have
paper socks, why cannot we find substitute
for linen altogether? 1t seems to US that pa.
per shirt bosOms demand our next attention.

instead Of striking a blow either for the libera

leaders are living quietly in luxury in New

are well Informed on the subject, that the
people of Canada, almost unanimously, are not
only opposed to the Fcnians and their designs
but are opposed to annexation to or

What they desire is a peaceable separation
from England. and the formation Of an inde-

Prince Alfred. second son Of Queen Victoria,

kept very quiet, but am satisfied from what
have learned from prominent Canadian gen

Of the hearts Of the people of Canada. I am
assured that it has the sanction and support
Of Queen Victoria. The Fenian leaders pro.
fess to have discovered this as plot. Let US
