THE SC CAPFGOAT BUsINEss

Congress has voted to drive General
Schoepf out OF the Interior Department for
procuring cadetship from Butler, Of Ten
nessee. But Just before it was seized with
this spnsm of virtue it had voted that But
ler had done nothing wong, and that he
was fit TO retain his seat- Yet, paradouca1
as the statement seems, the general public
viii settle down into q feeling of greater
confidence in Congressman because of the
proof that there are, or we're, few scona-
drels among them. The general public
must, therefore, have believed, until the re-
cent exposures occurred, that there
we're only few honest men
among them. Nor is it any
impeachment Of the honesty Of the general
public, that it learns with relief and salts
faction that are limited number of bribo-
takers where it had supposed there were
only minority Of honest men. Such re-
lief does not imply my preference On the
part of the general public for scoundrela
over honest men, but only satisfaction at
finding them in tie minority instoad Of the
majority,
|. An evil measured, reduced to a certainty,
and punished, always fills much less space
than the. 1umoa to which indefinite
and unpunished abuses would give
rice. The country was assured,
On tho authority of Mr. Parton,
that there were only q Corporls guard of
rascals IN Congress, the rest being Ill, Ike
Mrs. Caesar, above suspicion. But, having
no authority to designate which they we're,
the country indulged in no refined distinc-
tons, but simply divided Congress into
those who had found their price and those
who we're looking for it. Now, however,
that Whittemo1e, Deweese, and others have
been stoned ont Of the camp, We III
stinctively feel that they went out ns sin
bearers, loaded down with heavy pack
pannier, full, not Only OF their OWL sins, but
Of thoso OF the whole body,-and, indeed,
of Ill who enjoy the frankiug privilege and
tho right to draw Congressional pen
hiFcs and stationery. Many sur
yi7ing member OF Congress feels the
! soothing balm of this vicarious atonemenh
as having healing and grateful offoct upon
his own reputation. For, verify, where
two were grinding at the mill one has beon
| taken and the other left Before this
erent, the relative honesty of Congressman
was question Of casuistry, like that of
| the relative Innocence Of the various tribes
of Blackfeet Indians Was there ever be-
fore thoroughly-sifted body of Legislators
that had 80 lnrge proportion Of honest
men left? Never, unless it be the similar
IL purified Board of Supervisors Of Cook
County.

thieves seem possessed of fertile inven-

per, lady went into haberdasher's
shop, Rue Richelieu, and boughta pearl
gray silk dress. The shopman had no.
ticed q tolerably well-dressed man stand
ing at the door after the arrival of the
lady, and seeming 10 watch all her move
ments. Stepping up TO the cashiers
desk the lady drew 200franc note from
her purse. At that moment the man
outside rushed into tho shop, gave the
lady box on the ear, and tore the note
out of her hands. 81 had forbidden you
to buy that Dress" cried ho, 'sbut l
watched you, and you shall not have it. !"
With these words he fastened away, the
lady tainted, and the persons employed
in the shop, supposing the intruder to
be an offended husband, made no re-
mark, and let Linn go. When the lady
recovered, the proprietor of the establish
ment expressed his regret at this violent
scene, and pitied her for being depen-
dent on SO brutal husband. "AIy hus-
bandI" cried the lady eagerly. "Sir,
that man is not my husband; I do not
know him" The pretended husband
was daring thief.

q in; Austria and Prussia con cessions and
enlarged rights make up the order of the
day. Even great and glorious old Eng.
land combats the radical measures Of
Bright, Mills, and other intellectual gla-
diators, only by anticipating them with
her people, and forestalliug what she re-
CARDS an absolute necessity in tho way of
demand on their part.
Why then should we not gracefully ACCEPT
and endorse the labor of the Convention
and acknowledge this earnest and honest
platform as dignifed acquiescence in
pre- 1isting rights, ind us a wise desire
to relieve our beloved State from further
anarchy and corruption.
OF the gentlemen nominated by the
Convention, we shall speak here only of
General Butler, leaving our people to
read of Judge Carpenters character,
views and antecedents, from pens better
informed upon these points than ours.
And Of General Butler, our popular and
admired fellow-citizen, we shall say but
little, for what can We say, i'll this his
home, more than is already known, and
appreciated by all. Gen. Butler is an
able and practical man, an honest and
honorable man, and q man whose devo-
ton to his State is quite beyond all cavil.

Gen. Butler And if the negroes do OF,

CALIFoRNIA GoLD.-The annual pro-
duction of gold, it is reported by the
California papers, has in eight years
time fallen from $50, 900, 900 to 1928, 0OO,-
900, and has now become legitimate
business, yielding no moro than an ave-
rage remuneration, and not SO much as
many other trades The mining bust
ness, it is stated, has passed into the
control of large capitalists, and the
miners receive wages of four dollars n
day. The capitalists assert that they are
unable to keep the mines in operation at
the above wages. while the miners are
resisting reduction of prices; as con-
sequence, many of the mines are closed,
and those still in operation do not offer
any prospect of reasonable returns.
