The ALMIGHTY DoLLAR.-Poverty
has but an Indifferent chance to make
its way upward in this world, no matter
what the form of government under
which it may exert itself. In theory all
men are equal in this happy cline, but
practically the equality is reduced, as
a matter ef stern necessity, to primary
meetings and the ballot-box. The sat-
irist is right:
Zone test be meted to the sons of time:
Success was Yirtue--Poverty was Crime"
When there exists no other species of
aristocracy, opulence will set its own
exclusive circle. Within that magic
round no foot may intrude, save that of
Mammon's representatives. Merit may
struggle, and look indignant. Virtue
may plead its inerent right. Genius
may scornfully deride such fantastic
dignity. But the laws of the Medes and
Persians were not mere inexorable than
are those of distinction based on wealth.
They must be submitted to. This is
why we worship SO devotedly the cal
mighty dollar" This is why We toll
SO unremittingly for means which We
expend so literally. "Success is vir-
tue," and when we earn it in the one
shape if we do not possess it in the
other. ''Poverty is crime," and we
avoid the suspicion as carefully as the
reality. Rich men are seldom suspect
ed Of guilt, and still more seldom con-
victed-even if guilty. To purchase
this immunity We all strive with an en-
ergy that merits, if it does not win
success and this is the real secret of
Our apparent avarice-our seeming Gu
pidity.- Mercury.

Prospects at Washington.

ATOW Ule ITtOuhe.
The leading friends in Congress Of a national
Bankrupt law are en- tirely confident that the
bill (Mr. JenckesD, which has arleady passed
the House, will soon pass the Senate. As it
will have been considerably amended, 1t must
return to the House for concurrence in the
Senate's amendments; but it will not fail there.
Unless vetoed by the President-and no reason,
unless it be the force of habit, is suggested for
such eto-we shall be able to congratulate
The country on the passage of good Bankrupt
law before the lst of March. That law will
emancipate at least one hundred Thousand of
our counrymen from d hopeless thra dom
enabling them once more to earn bread for
their families, and contrIbate sensibly to the
increase OF our national wealth. Hasten the
auspicious day
The passage of very fair Tariff bill-in sub.

by the Finance Committee OF the Senate seems

Congress to contract and appreciate the cur

some $500, 900, 600 per annum of bouds-mainly
those OF our GoVernment-which we sell for
sixty up TO eighty cents on the dollar Some
how or other, this must come 10 a halt; and as
the solid (not stolidl Northwest opposes and
prevents a resumption OF specie payment (ior
the present, il says; but its logic plainly con-
whatever), it is morally impossible that the
enactment of higher tariff should be success
fully resisted
True, some two or threescore of members
who zeaously oppose resumption as zealously
oppose protection; but their repugnance to re
sumption is powerfully helping us to protec
tion; and we thank them for the good they dc
without intending It, By one means or an
other-through wise legislation or through
national insolVency-we must stop buying more
than we can fairly pay for; and this is every
day more widely realized We hope to chronicle
the passage of pretty good tariff bill by the
Senate before the lst OF February.
Should the President veto the bills admitting
the new States of Nebraska and Colorado, the
former will pretty certainly, the latter pro

A Shn.nnn Pntrint.

New York and Washington correspon-
dents are, in no wise, mealy-mouthcd, in
making the direct and bold charge. that the
infamous ASHLEY, of Ohio, made his I'M
pedchment move against the President, at
the time he did, purposcly to effect the price
of gold; for which procedure FIFTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS were made up in New York
and sent over to the virtuous patriot. to
strengthen his elastic backbone. In a few
hours after his resolution was introduced
in the House, ggll rent up t,71 per cent. in
Wall street.
This instance Of AsHLEY's bold corrup-
ton is no strange feature in the scoundrel's
character. It viii be recollccted how he
was convicted. not long since, by his own
correspondence with selling his influence
TO procure offices of value for CASE. his
brother-in-law - the emolumentS from
which and the speculations through which
they were to mutually share.
Is it amazing, or is 1t not. that this
narrowly PeHitsntid,y .teloa should
be the leader of the Radical conspirators
in distracting the public peace, and en-
dangering the public safety, by his inn
peaching crusade? Is itnot, rather, entirely
proper and fit that such infamous measure,
should have such an infamous paternity:

Edwin NJ. stanton.

News comes to Us through the columns
of our exchanges that EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
who has presided over the Federal War
Office, for several years, like ghoul over
a carnival and feast of blood. is now she'd
ding tears of contrition and bemoaniug the
unhappy condition of affairs existing at
Washington, between Congress and the EX-
ecutive, and, it Is said points gloomily to
the future, saying these things give him no
little alarm. 1t may be that his Satanic
Majesty, the autocrat of the War Office. is
becoming somewhat penitent, but we don't
believe it. There is an old couplet that
runneth something in this wise;
when the Devil was Sick &c.
And we take it that ''that's what's the mat
ter with STANTON. But he need not lay the
hattering unction to his soul that hypO-
critical penitencc will shield him from the
wrath to come. He may cheat the Ameri-
can people but he can not cheat the Devil
to whom he belongs, and to whom may the
Lord. in his infinite mercy toward this un-
happy country, speedily send him.
