THE VELoCIpEDE HUMBUG has reached our
city. Some cunning chaps from abroad have
pitched their wandering tents here, and are
persuading people to strain their muscles, and
injure and bruise themselves at fifty cents an
hour! This machine is an Old Yankee inyen
ton, discarded years ago. The Patent Office
shows 20 patents issued on this o-cart, which
at the time excited no more attention than
would flying machine. The idea Is held out
that these crank-propelled wheel-barrows can
be made to run up the hills, over the rocks and
through the mud of this region! In countries
like England and France, where the highways
are as level and hard as a floor, men who do
nothing else, can perform so as to excite won
der. SO can 'tIe man on the flying trapese"-
but 1t does not follow that every lubber can
become gymnast. In thirty days the new
humbug will have run It's course, and the one
who has expended the most money will be most
anxious to have his folly forgotten. The ex-
hibitors will see the point of the joke when
they count up their $50 day profit, pack up
their wooden donkeys and leave

A WASHINGTON letter writer
states that Gen. Butler has thirty
six volumes of telegraphic dis
patches that he captured when
serving on the impeachment com
mittee, and that they extend back
several years. This writer says
Butler saw that Senators and
Representatives were implicated IN
various jobs, by dispatches which
had fallen temporarily into his
hands. He Immediately caused
copies to be made, and had them
bound up and safely put away. He
has evidence enough there to kill
q great many men whenever he
chooses to use it. Hence q great
many people are afraid of Butler"
If this statement be true, it is to be
hoped Butler will let the country
know who has been guilty of cor
rupt practices. Many suppose that
Mr.. Schenck, of Ohio, would not
reply to Buffers charge upon him
of corrupt acts. But it seems that
the "book of kilograms" Of the for
mer had no terrors for him, for on
the last night of the session be IN
dulged in severe personal attack
upon Butler. The latter bore it
meekIy, but promised to make good
his assertion at \ proper time.
When will that "proper time

In the shadow of the Empire the
virtue and courage of the courts be-
GIN to wither.
The Supreme Court of the United
States, overawed by an act of Con-
gress curtailing its appellate juris-
diCtion, found time to search the
authorities, and render a decision
in acquiescence, which sanctioned
the destruction of the personal lib
erty of McArdle. ....
A case involving the rights of
a hundred thousand Tennesseans
which had been extensively argued
more than a month ago, through
sheer cowardice, deferred until the
next term-that is, unta after the
election in this State in August.
When power corrupts the current
of justice, liberty is dead. 1t
is but little consolation to think,
that ere long, the calamity will be
common.

sails until he is now prepared to
pick a quarrel with Spain
which is in much the con-
dition this country was when
Great Britain recognised the Con-
federates as belligerents, and when
France interfered in the affairs of
Mexico with the view, it is Oh afged
of aiding the Confederates in their
struggle for separate government
and seize and hold Cuba, when
Spain has about as much as she
can do to keep her people at home
in sortofquiet condition. Grant
appears to be impressed with the
idea that he must signalise his adj,
ministration by the annexation of
territory, and he will make haste to
carry out this idea. SIS. col & "a
The Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune says the
foreign Legations in Washington,
favorable to the Spanish govern
ment, are said to be severely exer-
cised because President Grant does
not issue a proclamation Of neu@,
I
trality, warning all good citizens
from taking any part in the Cuban
troubles, as has been customary
heretofore. This correspondent
adds 1" The friends Of the Spanish
authorities do not conceal their CON
yietion that the United States gov
ernment is in full sympathy with
the Cubans, and the ultimate OBJ
iect of the President is to take
possession of the island at the
first favorable opportunity, and
| to annex it to the United States
domain. If this is not the
object, they inquire the reason
for the large augmentation of the
naval forces in Cuban waters, and
the busy preparations going on. in
the navy yards fitting war vessels
for sea. In this connection it may
be remarked that some members of
the foreign committees, in both
Houses, are in favor of acquiring
Cuba as soon as practicable. A
member of the committee, in wri-
ting to a friend recently who want
| ed to be a consul, advised him to APP
ply for consulate elsewhere, as it
was probable Cuba would soon be q
| portion of the United States" This
| is no doubt a clear indication ofthe
drift in Washington. .......h

7 The Boston Li6erdtor conducted

this country into civil war, and all
its direful woes. When commenced

As much further advanced as a
city of importance as is the New
York of today, to the Boston of
forty years ago, is the ImperialiSt

heartily endorsed by hundreds of
thousands, superior in influence to
the Li6erator when commenced as
private enterprise by Garrison
snd his squad, amid the jeers and
prosecutions of even the Boston
populace.
The LiJeratoT having filled its
mission after a carnival of blood,
such as the world never saw, and a
train Of miseries whose effects are
to be felt for fifty years to come,
was formally suspended in vale

that the nomination G G. Crow,

I'D. P" suggests in a letter
to the Cincinnati Commercial
that, if it had not been
for the interference of Senator
Chandler, there WOULD have been
lively fisticuff between Senator
Ross and the President the other

Commercial, that Chandler meddled
in the little affair Of the President
and the Senator, for he was former
ly firm believer in the efficacy of
blood letting. .... ...
