Hays and His Panty.

The attention Of the Democratic press
of Ohio is called to the fact that Govern
or Hays and his party,who secured pow
er last fall upon the pretense OF being
in favor of honesty and economy in the
administration of the State government,
have openly violated every pledge made
upon the stump and in convention; and
instead of introducing economy, they
have gone far beyond any precedent in
extravaganza, increasing taxation and
multiplying Offices. The Democrats en-
deavored to modify some of the exor-
bitant exactions of the Office sbolders, by
reducing their salaries to an approxima-
ton to the coin value of currency, but
this was strenuously resisted by all the
loyal, and the Abolitionists being in full
possession of every department of the
government, defeated all attempts to IN.
troduce economy or to fulfill the pledges
mouthed by them throughout the State
last fall. The people should see anc
know these fellows when they go about

The Howard Corruption Business

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston News says: ThereIis apre.-
ty fair prospect, unless the Investigation
is rendered grossly PARTISAN, that Gen.
Howard the Commissioner of4he Freed
mems Bureau. .will be thoroughly shown
up as the most complete hypoerite Of the
age. The "whirligig of time" sooner
or later. reaches just such men. and in
this case it has already been proven that
he had thrown the cloak of religion over
some of the most remarkable rascalities
of. the day. The evidence thus farta-'
ken shows that he appropriated nearly
quarter of million of dollars out OF
the Freedman's Bureau fund of the Uni
ted States Treasury to pay for the erec-
ton of the negro institution here, known
rs the Howard University, and that he
did this without scintilla of law, or
construction of law, authorizing 1t. Men
are serving terms in the penitentiary
for "appropriating" less sums than this
out of the public treasury. But he has
not stopped there He had a pet church
here he wanted to foster, and SO he took
$4,000 more out of the United States
Treasury, without authority of law, and
bought the bonds of the church. These
bonds have no marketable value whatev-
er, and even if they did, it would be,
nevertheless,a misappropriation of funds
to buy them. But Howard has not been
the only guilty officer; for the evidence
shows the existence of regular Freed
mems Bureau ring. all of whom have
suddenly grown rich.

Mover Rulings by speaker Blanc.

Mr.. Blaine, of Maine, is making for
himself a FIRST class reputation as Speak
er. His method of making decisions
and of keeping order is something which
neither Banks, the king Of parliamenta-
rians, nor Colfax, the smiling master Of
the Jcffersonian Manual, could boast of.
Mr.. Blaine has facile and varied meth
cd, walch is greatly assisted by a. non
retentive memory. He can within five
minutes give two decisions on the same
point. and each as diametrically oppo
site as possible With the most remar-
kable GOODNESS he can decide "ycs' for
Dawes or Schenck or any other promi.

ward, or Cox, or Z dr.d ;e, or my other
Democrat. He can pound his gavcl

than half dozen Congressman Cabling

is restored He can make twenty times

of "calline the honorable gentlemen by
name" unless they take their seats but

impending calamity and go on with their

Banking influence in Congress.

The Chemical National Bank of New
York has capital of $500, 600. On this
it pays six per ceatdiridends at the end
of every two months, making 36 per
cent per annum. Besides this dividend
it has accumulated a asurplus Of $4,000
600.
Such banks can well afford to keep &
powerful lobby and an Immense corrup-
ton fund at Washington to defeat meas.
ures for increasing the currency. 1t is
not certain that any other bank yields
such enormous profits, bnt it is certain
that they are abundantly able to defeat
any measure before Congress which
threatens their dividends.
Wherever the interests of the people
and those of the banks como in confict,
tits very obvious which must 60 down.
This will be better whenever the people
send to Congress no more bankers, and
no more men that bankers can buy.

time leads in the case, and conducts the
trial with view to exculpating those

The worst feature of the affair is that
these parties among whom are said to be

Rap,dity OF Thoug htin Dreaming.

A very remarkable circumstance and
an important point of analogy is, said
DR.. Forbes Winslow, TO be found in the
extreme rapidity with which the mental
operations are formed, or rather with
which the material changes, on which
the ideas depend, ARE excited in the hem
spherical gangalia. 1t would appear as
if a whole series of acts that would re
ally occupy long lapse of time, pass
ideally through the mind in one instant
We have in dreams no perception of the
lapse of time--a strange property OF
mind forif such be also its property
when entered into the eternal disembod-
led state, time will appear to US eternity.
The relations of space as well as of time
are also annihilated; so that while al
most an eternity is compressed into a
moment, infinite space is trayersed more
swiftly than by real thought. There are
Illustrations of this principle on record.
A gentleman dreamed that he had en-
listed as soldier, joined his regiment,
deserted, was apprehended, carried back,
tried, condemned to be.shot, and at last
led out for execution After the usual
preparations gun was fired; he then
awoke with the report, and found that a
noise in the adjoining room had, at the
same moment produced the dream and
awakened him.
A friend of DIR. Abercrombie dream
ed that he had crossed the Atlantic and
spent a fortnight in America. In en-
barking, on his return, he fell into the
sea, and, awakening in the fright, found
that he had not been asleep ten minutes.

H California papers give us some
curious facts III regard TO the geld pro
duction In eight years it has fallen off
from 49,, 100000 to $4,000, 900, and
has now become legitimate business S.
yielding no more average remuneration
than any other, if as much. The bust
ness has fallen into the control of asso-
ciated capital, and the miners themselves
receive wages averaging about 81 day.
No large increase of production is an.
|ticipated for the next few years, although
it Is thought that mining will become a
steady and recognized American indus
try in the future, the same as manufac-
turing and agriculture. just at present
there is difficulty between the mining
companies and the laborers. The for
mer assert that they are unable to make
dividends with wages as at present,
while the men are strenqously resisting
any reduction. The consequence is
that very many of the mines are not be-
ing worked, and those that are do not
offer the proprietors any inducement fol-
doing SO vigorously.

The Ex.Regcnt OF spain.

Francisco Serano was born near the
close of last century, and acquired his
military reputation in the war of inde-
pendence. Devoted to the interest of
the Queen mother, he assisted in the
overthrow of Esperatero in 1S43. After
the restoration he coalesced with Mar
yacz in the attempts of .he latter to
break down Olozaga, and shortly after
the marriage of Queen Isabella in 1916,
he acquired such influence over the roy
al mind as to occasion differences be-
tween the king consort and herself, and
even to excite scandal outside the pal
ace. The Ministry of the Duke of So
tomayor, which attempted to destroy
SeraAo's power, was defeated by him,
but that Of Salamanca, which he sup
ported, was forced to yield to the popu-
lar clamor. After this nc turned liberal,
and just, previous to the accession of
Narvaez, he accepted the position of
Captain General of Grenada. Becom-
ing implicated in an insurrection at Sar-
a.ossa in 1854, he was exiled, but re-
turned the same year, and took part in
the revolution of July as an active adj
herent Of the. O'DoDn,ll- Espartero Cab
inet. In the rupture which soon follow
ed between these chiefs, he sided with
the former, and having been nominated
Captain General Of New Castillo po-
sition which held virtual control of Mad
rid-he Joined O'Donnell in the coup
detat of 1856. The following year he
was sent ambassador to Paris in 1853
he was appointed Director and Colonel
General of artillery, and in June, 1865,
Captain General of Madrid. Serano's
instrume ntality in the expulsion of lisa
bella and the Bourbon dynasty is famil-
liar to all.

EyJt appears by our Washington

EEJt appears by our Washington
dispatch that Van Horn, one of the
Radical members of the House of Rep
resentatives from Missouri, is holding
his seat by virtue of forged affidavit
of a Supervisor of Registration,by which
Jackson County was thrown ont. One
would naturally suppose that this would
end the contest, and that the man whom
the people elected would be permitted to
take his seat But 1t would not surprise
us in the least if the majority of the
House sustained the forged return and
kept Van Horn IN his place. They are
capable of any rascality.
