CORRUPTION RETGNING,

Mr.. Will Cumback has got himself
elected United States Senator from Indi-
ana by species CT swindling and corrup-
ton that would disgrace the lowest pot
house politician in the business, aud
through an exposure of transactions in
compatible with honor or decency of any
sort. His election follows immediately
upon the exposure Of his baseness and
unfitncss, and seems rather to have COM
mended him to his party friends. Han
nibal Hamlin is elected to the Senate
from Maine under circumstances that In.
dicate the same sort of party religion as
that of Cumback; while the loyal of the
New York Legislature are wrangling
over carpet.sacks full of bribes, brought
to Albany to buy the members as q man
would buy mules at lively auction. 1t
may seem singular that men will or can
afford to pay such fabulous sums in mon
ey or such moostrous prices in basencss
to get to Congress, position, if honestly
filled, full Of labor and Of inferior honor
but the explanation is at hand. The
Washington machine has got to that level
that corruption is its only strength if not
its onl virtue. 1t is simply moustrous
combination Of rings TO cheat the people,
which it does at the rate Of five hundred
millions OF dollars per annum. TO get
into one of these rings through vote in
Congress is to be provided for for life.
4 man has but to vote himself duke
dom out of the public domain; a palace
out Of revenue frauds pension all bis
relatives on the Treasury, and retire at
the end Of his term with millions; OF
buy himself back to his scat by division
Of his plunder with other rings. This is
an explanation Of the immense sums ex-
pended TO purchase positions under the
Government, and one of the prolific
sources Of the wide spread decentralization
Of the people. Instances need not be adj
duced to prove these assertions; they
will suggest themselves TO all who read
and understand. Indeed, the facts are
admitted by the ruling party, and are
sometimes boasted of by the perpetrators
themselves. Legislation and administra
ton running through such channels
must necessarily partake of the faint
and We have tyranny, despotism, Darbar
ity, crime everywhere rampant, while
the victimized people suffer and sweat
aud die in the desperate, but unavailine
struggle with their heartless oppressors
Columbus Crisis.

How Coop FARMERS SAVE MONEY
Good farmers take good papers, aud read
them.
They keep full account of farm op-
erations.
They do not leave their implements
scattered over the farm, exposed to rain,
snow or heat.
They repair the tools and building at
the proper time, aud do not suffer a subse-
quent threefold expenditure of time and
money.
They use their money judiciously, aud
do not attend auction sales to purchase
all kinds of trumpery because it is cheap.
They see that their fences are well re-
paired, and their cattle are not found
grazing in the meadows, or grainfelds or
orchards.
They do not refuse to make experiments
in small way of many new things.
They plant fruit trees we'll, care for
them and ofcourse get good crops
They practic economy by giving their
stock good shelter during the winter, al.
so good food, tIking out all that is uu.
sound, half rotten or mouldy.
They do not keep tribes of cats and
snarling dogs around their premises,
which eat more ina month than they are
worth in lifetime.
Successful EARNINGS is made up by at
tention to little things. The farmer
who does it best earns his money with
best appreciation, and uses it with best
results. Such men are the /" salt oi
earth"

NATIONAL FINANCEs.-Senator Nor
ton, in reply to letter written to
him by Greeley, says:
"Our bondholders understand per-
fectly we'll that, whatever may be the
law on the question, the bonds, or any
considerable part, cannot be paid in
coin while the currency remains de-
preciated. 1t is folly to talk about
paying the bonds in gold, if the gov
ernment cannot procure gold enough
to redeem the greenbacks. A return
to specie payment is a necessary con-
dition precedent to the payment of
bonds in gold. They must look much
more to the return of specie payments
and the establishment of our finances
on a solid basis, than to the mere form
of the contract. AS to how it should
be paid then, the gold payments should
begin with the debt that is due, which
is the currency, not by shaving bonds
that will not be due for fourteen
years."

The life and Letters Of Fit Greene Hd!-
leck. By JAMES GRANT WILSON. New
York: D. APPLETON & Co.
This ia q handsome contribution to the
library for lis typographical execution, and
those who know anything of HALLEcK's
writings will prize it for its contents. We
say those who know anything OF his wri-
tings, for the present generation, by con-
spiracy of circumstances, hns been strange
ly separated from the past. There has
been so much that is new in the political
and physical world--so sensational, so alb
sorbing-that the popular mind has been too
full of the present to read or think of the
past. Especially is this true in the North.
Little is known there of the men Of the
past, and greatly less of the political his
tory Of the early days Of the country. The
knowledge is only of this day, and that we
are the greatest nation in creation. The
people are sadly wanting in the wisdom that
their forefathers could teach them.
But of HALLECE's literary remains we
have to say that they are among the most
sterling produced in this country. His
poems&nd hisletters are strikingly epigram-
matte and bright. His letters have not be-
fore, we believe, been published. His
friend and executor, General WILSON, has
eollated and presented them in the pre-
sent volume. HALLECK's "reminiscences Of
early life in New York and anecdotes Of the
famous men and women who in his day
either resided or often met there, are very
charming. In short, it is one Of the most
acceptable of recent publications, and will
always be one of the pleasant and welcome
companions of the ircside of the intelligent
render.

General GRANT was slightly caught in
his last visit to New York. Representa-
tive men, got at him, and talked at him.
One man said he was the organ of the irish
Republican Association, and claimed Tor
1000, 900 Irishmen q representative IN the
Cabinet One Mr.. SPENCER stood forward
as the representative of 10000 voters in
New York city who voted for GRANT, and
talked his talk; and General JOIN CocH-
RAHE blarneyed his blarney, and SO on. Inc
aatterers and ofice-hunters got the General
q leetle on the flank, and peppered him
smarsly. He will not go back to New YORK
soon; and we guess it would be about as
we'll for those who bored him in New YORK
not to 90 to Washington.
