None of these things could have been sat-
isfactorily done while the Legislature was
in session. Half the time, the, absence of
the members of these, committees would
have deprived one house or the other of the
necessary quorum to do business, and yet

has made the discovery, that no pay can be
allowed the members while thus neglscting
their own business to attend to that of the
State And that, too, after full pay had
been allowed and paid, in similar cases, by
almost every Republican Legislature that
has met since that party had name among

The New York Tribune has been
explaining 70 its readers how it Is that
the loyal thieves in ofiee succeed in
.sWindIing The government and rob
bing the people. IL says that an Or
dinary mode Of swindiing SIS for the
collector to accept, on his, own &C.
count, third or fourth Of. the tx o
which the government IS entitled
allow the distilIer or other tax payer
to escape the remainder Of the tax by
q false return. ."v Another mode Is fstO
make seizures, and then aedeCt com
promises in which a thousand dol
lars paid to the Collector or District
Attorney, has more influence 70 settle
than ~, 600 paid as tar 70
the Government" This, remember,
is from the Tribune, the especial or
gan of these thieves and sWfndlers,
and the red hot champion and dsfen-
der OF the ten1re-of- -ofhce act-4an set
which prevents the President ftom
kicking the rogues out 0f o1lce, IS he
would be, glad TO do. The confessl lons
are undoubt btedlyl true, but what a
eomfnent6ry on the honest = of Rad

Memoirs of Service A.foat during the War
6ettueen the States. By Admiral RA-
pHAEL SgMMEs, of the late Confederate
States Navy, Author of "Service Ahoat
and Ashore during the Mexican War"
Illustrated with steel engraved Portraits
[of all the officers of the Sumter and the
Alabamal, and six Engravings from ORR
ginal Designs printed in Chromo-Tints.
Baltimore. KELLY, P1ETT & Co.
We have here readable book--equal to
one Of CooPER's sea novels. The northern
people indeed regard Admiral SEMMEs as a
sort of Red Rouer captain that has been
chased off the ocean. The southern people
look upon him as a modern VAN TRoMP
who swept the ocean as with broom. A
slip accompanying the book describes it as
q " historical and personal memoir Of the
cruises and services Of the Admiral from
his withdrawal from the Federal Navy TO
the close Of the war, embracing the opera
lions OF his two ships, the Sumter and the
ALABAMA against the enemy's commerce

TIE CONNECTICUT DEMoCRACY.-ln the
new platform just adopted by the Demo
cracy of Connecticut is resolution de-
,claring that the efforts Of the Radicals to
DEPRIVE the States of the right, each for it
SELF to regulate suffrage, is an outrage
which they "will resist by all lawful
means" This means, we suppose, that the
Connecticut Democracy will oppose the
new constitutional amendment which it is
expected Congress will, during its present
session, propose for ratification byth seve-
mi State Legislatures. The reader will not
fail to remember that there is wide diff
ference between this resolution and the one
which the Connecticut Democrats last year
adopted denouncing negro suffrage. What
gay the Connecticut Democrats now against
the reconstruction measures? What word
of encouragement do they utter to those of
our people who rely upon their assistance
in the work of preventing negro suffrage in
Virginia? The Chicago Radical platform
asserted the right of the northern States to
regulate suffrage for themselves. 1t is this
right which the Connecticut Democracy say
they will not surrender. The same plat
form declared the power of Congress to
regulate suffrage in the southern States.
This resolution of the Connecticut Demo
Gratis is certainly good as far rs it goes.
But it fails, we think, TO touch the case of
the unreconstructcd States. We have, how
ever, seen only so much of it as is reported
in the New York Herald.

WEST VIRGINIA CENTRAL RA1LRoAD.--ln
the Senate, Friday, Mr.. WILEY intro
duced bill providing for the sale of lands
to aid in the construction of the West Vir-
GINA Central railroad. 1t authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to sell to the COM
pany six thousand two hundred and fifty
sections of land, to be selected in Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas,
ut seventy five cents per acre, in preferred
stock, on condition that $4,000 be expcnd-
cd in improving and settling said lands
within ten years. This is not a continual
ton of the old Virginia Central road, as
some might infer, but a road which it Is
proposed to construct from the line of the
Chesapeake and Ohio road to the northern
part of the State.
