AN EDITORS BED.

In a certain village the editor of a local newspaper
had room at the hotel. Being absent one night
and the house being crowded. the landlord put
stranger in his bed The next morning the following
lines We're found in the room:
! slept in an editors bed last night
And others may say what they please;
/ say there's one editor III the world
That certainly takes his ease.
When thought of my humble cot away,
could not suppress sigh,
But thought, as | rolled III the feathery nest:
Ho'U easily editors lie
The editor, after some inquiries Of the landlord
made the following addition:
The chap whose form has rested here,
And lett his copy behind,
For Il bad impression should be locked up,
AS the cHt is most unkind.
Behold prOQf Of hoic he lies:
III the morning he went away,
And like many that use an editors sheet,
Has forgotten the bill to pay.

NEw ISSUE OF LEGAL TENDERs-A Wash
ington correspondent says:
Mr.. McCarter, Superintendent of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing for the Treasury
Department, has just returned from New York,
where he has been to push forward the engrav-
ing upon the new United States notes of the
denomination of 81 and 81, which will be ready
for distribution about September 1st The
new notes will have vignette of Washington,
and a representation of Columbus discovering
America. On the Sis, instead of the viguette
of Chief Justice Chase, as on those now in
use; the 81 notes will have vignette of JEFF
tcrson and a view of the capitol, in place of
the vignette of Franklin on those now in use,
The plates for these notes have been engraved
at the Treasury. The backs of the Is will be
printed by the National Bank Note company
of New York, and those of the 2's by the
American company of the same city. The de-
signs for the new SIS, los, 20's, and other de.
nominations have not yet been agreed upon.

\ POINT WELL PUT.-We clip this from

\ POINT WE'LL PUr.-We clip this from
the San Francisco Herald:
One hundred Cinnamon will live in house.
the whole of which would be occupied by ono
white laborer and his family. This is fact
demanding the consideration of those of our
citizens who employ their money in building
houses for laborlng people to live in. These
one hundred Cinnamon will perform the work
of fifty white men; the white men are out of
employment; they have been discharged. and
their places filled with cheap Chinese laborers.
The white laborers must seek employment
elsewhere, and their families 60 with them.
Fortynine houses are unoccupied, and land
lords have not yet devised practicable scheme
for collecting rents from tcnantless houses
Continue to crowd out the white laborer and
fill his place with Cinnamon, and not many
months will pass away before ITO Let" will
embcish the doors and windows of hundreds
of dwelling houses within our towns and cities
The result is inevitable.

SOMEWHAT PuNGENT-We clip the fol.
lowing paragraph from long leader in the N.
4.eCh"rch Union, which amply explains itself:
The Presbyterian repels any such thought as
savoring of politics" The millennium has not
yet come, and it saddens one to find that there
is good deal of politics in the best of men,
and the fnesse of the art may be detected in
modern ecclesiastical assembages quite rs
surely as in that ancient Council of Nice. The
tort on free action of deliberativc body, in
ficted by men who use private influence to get
control of important committees and thus car
ry their own purposes, is one of those evils
which are not yet cured in General Assemblies

A BAD ONE.-We clip the following from
the Chicago Tribune:
Rev. Mr. Hough, of the Methodist Church,
stationed at Metropolis, has been dismissed
from the Church and the ministry. During
his trial, which took place last week, it was
proved that he had been guilty of abusing
HIMSELF and of advising the youth of the town
to ruin members of the opposite sex whenever
they had a chance. The whte-cravatted beast
should be kicked out of every respectable COM
munity he may hereafter curse with his filthy
presence.

FRANK, If A CoNvIcr.-The New York
Commercial says:
Young Ketchums refusal to avail himself of
any irregularities in the legal proceedings
which terminated with his conviction and SEN

qnibblers. He frankly says: Il am guilty
and deserve punishment. The measures by
which you propose to release me, take advant-
age of a technical objection to defeat the spirit
of the law itself Iprefer remaining IN Jail to
being shystered' out in this kind of style.
Either pardon me absolutely for crime con-
fess having committed, or send me back to

JEFF. DAVIS IN LONDON.-A late London
paper has the following paragraphs:
One fancies that it s not very much known
that Mr. Jefferson Davis, the eX-PreSdcnt OF
the Confederate States of America, is living III
London, and is, moreover, an object OF great
attraction to the fashionable world. One hears
that his house is bcsieged by callers, and invi-
tations pour in on him in such abundance that
he is unable to avail himself of third of them,
and besides, his attendance on those which he
attempts to comply with has been so fatigung
that he is about to seek refuge IN quiet re-
treat in the Isle of Wight

guest at the late Blow Banquet, and in res.

can citizens, to pay slight tribute of respect
to a distinguished gentleman, who will repre-
sent your government in the Empire of Bra

should not have been here, for have had my
full share of the honors and glory of this world
and desire no more of them. | have long since
retired from political life and intend to devote
the remainder of my days to my business. 1t

WHITE SLAVES SOLD IN MISSOrEI.-N c
clip the following from the ST. LOUIS Rcp"bE-
can of July 2lst:
The Radical papers of the State prot'Ssrd
to be good deal shocked at the spectacle OF
Glasgow, Howard county. selling negro va
grant at public auction for SIS. But not a
word Of condemnation, so far as wc have seen,
has been uttered at the recent sales by the
County Court of Caldwell, at publ.c auction,
of Mary Fcrrington and her two children, and
Margaret McCulloch, poor whites, to the low
est bidder for one year Had these women
and children been negroes, and the officials
Democrats, we should have had howl that
would have done credit to so many Dcrvlshes.

BEAUTIES or PEonHIIloN.-Thc Boston
.ldrorti>,r thus briefly relates scenes and events
IL that city in consequence Of the enforcement
OF the last stringent prohibition law:
The public sale of malt liquors was stopped
for a few days. Large quantities Of adultcratcd
and fiery compounds have accumulated in the
cellars of the State Constable. Suits have
been begun in large numbers to be determined
by the courts hereafter. But, on the other
hand. drinking clubs have been revived on all
sides; concealmcnt and hypocrisy have taken
the place OF the eilrontcry of public drinking;
the hotels and eating houses continue to sup
ply their guests without interruption; groccrs
and druggists find their trade stimulated by
the change in the current: and the friends of
the law have the satisfaction of seeing n fierce
and angry commotIon prccipitated upon the
State without approaching as Yet the results
they confidently promised themselves. The at
tempt to dragoon the State into uniformity on
this question has put good and bad members
of the community on 4 level, and given those
who pander to lis passions and vices for the
sake of profit an advantage which does not
belong to them.
That is to say, the law has made a number
of scoundrels without, SO far as appears, saving
a single incbrlatc, or helping to save him.

PURITAN PURITY SHOWN UP

The Chicago Times has the following leader
against the corruption of the purists of New
England 1t says:
Because the Massachusetts and Connecticut
Legislatures have put Investigating Commit
tees at work on charges of bribery and cor
ruptlOn, fear is expressed that "New Eng
land legislation, which was so long compara-
lively untainted has caught the Infection"
The Legislature of Massachusetts, for years
has been under the influence of an unscrupu-
lous lobby, if the newspapers of the State may
be accepted as authority. The idea that New
England is less free from corruption than any
other section of the country will only be en-
tertaincd by simple and verdant men, charm
lngly confident i'll Puritan virtue In proper
ton to its population, there is not Il State
where bribery in elections is more unblushingly
employed or carried to a greater extent than
in Rhode Island
New England seltishness and greed in deal
ing with national questions are notorious. She
went as Il unit for National Banking law,
and then graspcd twice the amount of circu-
latlun 10 winch she was entitled She invested
more largely than any other section of the
country in Government Bonds and now de-
mands that her bondholders shall be exempted
from taxation and De paid double the amount
due them. She controls Secretary boutwell,,
and he controls the currency that New Eng
land moucy-lcnders and ShylOcks may make
fortunes out of the necessities of business men
caused by the strimgency in the money market
She has imposed on the country Il tariff by
which her manufacturers are enriched at the
expense of all other classes, and chiefly at the
expense Of poor men and iaboring men-a
tariff which Republican newspapers denouncc
as a sWludlc and an outrage.
Her bankers, and bondholdcrs, and manu-
tacturcrS carry whatever measure they may
want IN Congress by bribery, and the press OF
the ruling party has repeatedly charged such
to be the tac,. Her bankers, and bondholaers,
and manufacturers spent money as freely as if
were water for bribery, III the last Preslden-
tial election. The October election in Penn
sylvaula was carried by the Republicans by
bribery. and the funds for that purpose were
mainly drawn from New England
The stealing. and perjury, and rascaity in
various forms which now bIackcn the admins
trAtion "t all our public affairs are mainly due
To the contempt for law and restrictions placed
upon Congress by the Constitution, lnculcatcd
! by New England. Teach Il legislator that he
may commit perjury and usurp power to carry
out moral IDEAS and teach him also it is "A

WASHINGTON, Dec. o



One ofthe chief topics of talk here
to day in official and political clrcleS
has been the case OF Attorney General
Hoar. Some Senators who opposed his
confirmation Rs Associate Justice are
trying TO convince the people that
everybody on that side was governed
by the fact that he does not live In the
Southern Circuit, but the debate OF yes.
terday was not all confined to this rea.
aon for the rejection Of the nomination,
and politicians who have not been ablS
TO run his department according 10
their notion say this action OF the Sen-
ate will theach him good lesson. The
President does not yet say what he
will do about Withdrawing the nomi.
nation, and the probabilities are that
he will consult Hoar's wishes In re-.
gard to the matter when that gentle.
man returns from Massachusetts.
