W. hare h authority Of TIL He,n1d e

We have the authority of 1ks Herald for
stating that Governor English, of Connect
cut " expends freely his large private fortune
for campaign purposes We certainly do
not suppose that Governor English is capable
of using his money improperly, and only note
the fact just now SO that when the dismal howl
OF the Democratic papers about Radical
greenbacks, vote-pnrchasing, and SO on,
comes np, as 1t certainly viii, the people may
remember that the Democratic Governor
tnow in ofhee) ~"expends freely his large pri-
vate fortune for campaign purposes 1t may
be interesting to know that the same writer
says that as high as SIS each was paid TO in
duce Democrats to vote the Republican ticket
in New Hampshire. Now, If any Radical
Crdsus should invade Connecticut with a bag
of greenbacks. perhaps Governor English's
large private fortunen might enable him
to " ontbid yon sordid hucksser,'' and keep
his dear lambs within the fold, secure from
the temptations of the bondholding aristoc-
racy.-Nep York Tribune.

BEEcHEE ON PUBLIC READINo-In tho
asst number Of the Now York Ledger Henry
Ward Beecher discourses of public reading in
a very sensible manner;
There appears to be, Just now. one of those
entnuslasins upon the public by which il is
periodically visited. This time il ia n mania OF
public readings. A very sensible mania it Is.
If il speedily subsidies, and leaves little trace
OF benefit, the subsidence of q good thing, and
not the rise aud progress Of 1t, should bs
criticised
Undoubtedly Mr.. Dickens visit has been
one lneiting cause Of this movement. But his
example aud success only inHamed Goals al

been added 10 the list one aft0I another nams
OF skllIiul readers, both meR and women, un-

hshed, standing midway between the dramat-

nothing will check this development. We $50

in any other manner.
By puoiic readers, the young people In
towns aud villages may be made acquainted
with the whole circle OF English literature as
they cannot be IN any other manner. A KeW
will always bs found who will take the pains
TO seeI out the works, aud carefully TO study
the best English classics. But the great ma.
Jority OF persons, who obtain a common I'd

will have no conception of literature as .
whole, very little OF its chief lights, aud
none at all of the authors who, though less
than chiefs, constitute the rank and file OF the
army OF writers. In hundreds OF villages,
there are gentlemen and ladies who, with
some painstaking, could, in series of win
ter evenings, go through course OF readings
with famihar information respecting the au.
thors aud their age, which would give to hun
dreds of young people q view of authors
which they would never otherwise obtain. In
larger places, we do not deem it chimericai
70 suppose that there will yet be permanent
Reading academies, whose business 1t shall
be TO carry classes through thorough course
of literature. But, even If this sho1ld seem
impraSticable, it is not difi.ult for towns and
villages to utilize talent which exists in their
midst and secure inexpsnsively, from educa-
ted gentlemen, vast amount Of reading
which the young would not have the mean
or motive OF securing in any other way

UNPATRIoTIC.-We insist that the course
taken by the provincial Democratic press On
all questions OF finance, commerce and indus
try is ouraseously foolish and unpatriotic. If
Its influence weighed so much as q feather
anywhere in the world, American bonds
would be at discount of more than thirty
per ce6t. on the other side Of tho Atlantic
they would be on a par with Confederate
scrip We do not object to fair and impartial
criticism of the financial measures OF Con-
greSs. That body should receive nom the
people the benefit of the wisdom OF the whole
country on questions that so vitality concern
The Republic. Condemnation should not be
withheld in cases where it is clearly deserved.
But a matter of this ki2d is too serious to be
prostituted to the purpose OF making political
capital. The interests of all the people are
identical and dependent upon the general
prosperity of the country. What shall We
say, then, OF a party press that does nothing
about finance but to present the gloomiest pic
lures Of tine situation; that devotes columns
TO an increase of the public deb, but not n
line to its decrease; that notes with exagger-
ating comments new appropriations, but says
not word u retrenchment Of the most
sweeping character; that dwells upon the rise
in gold, but passes over its decline in silence
that never tires of complaining of the weight
OF taxation on manufactured articles ou' heV-
or announces the good news when 'pose '"H''
are taken of; that calls attention to the ae'
preston in shipbulding, but gives no creais 10

PORTLAND.

Oh Nanuun,
a couNTEn-MINE-NR. HcwE's MISSION
THE CABINET sQUABBLE.
The Canadian government has DISPATCHED
the Hon. DR.. Tupper to England to look after
Mr.. Howe and the other Nova Scotia de,o.
gates who have gone thther to demand a re.
peal Of the Union. An effort was made to
induce Mr.. Gait to 60 with DR.. Tupper, but
he declined, apparently not desiring to be
mixed up in what is sure to be diSagreeable
and likely be profitless business. This
mission of DR.. Tupper is plainly another
blunder on the part of the Dominion govern
ment He is himself Nova Scotlan, and
having been the leading spirit in the whole
course OF management by which that prov
incc was hustled into Confederation withsnt
the consent of the people, is probably more
obnoxious to the Nova Scotians than any
man who could have been named. The send
ing OF such man to England to represent
the Confederation side of their case before
the home government is likely to create fresh
bitterness and widen the breach between
Halifax and Ottawa.
There is good deal of discussion as to
what will be the result OF Mr. Howe's mis-
sion. The general impression is that he will
be met by a "m,sterly inactivity" that he
viii be kindly received, politely entertained,
receive the fullest assurances of appreciation
OF bis talents, his patriotism, and an admis-
sion that there is much force in his areu-
ments as to the moje of bringing Nova Sco-
tia into the Union, but will he informed that
to divorce marriage because not obtained
by tair means is net so easy as to condemn
the device by which it was brought about,
That great consideration is required and con-
sequently some delay. And so time win be
gained, and perhaps something may turn I'D.
This rather vague hope seems 10 be all that
the friends of Union have to sustain them
The Nova Scotians, in the meantime, do not
undertake to say what they will do in the
event OF their petition being refused, but
their resolution to bring about change in
some way is plainly unshaken.
The dissensions in the Canadian Privy
Council seem to have been temporarily allay-
ed. The decision on the Intercolonial Rail-
way Route has been postponed, and thus one
question which threatened to bring the
Government to grief is got rid of for the pres
ent. 1t is however somewhat doubtful wheth-
er the present entente cordiale can be long
maintained
