The Situation.

The people of this day, unlike the
days of century ago, read and study
both politics and religion for them,
selves, do theirown thinkingEand come
10 their own conclusions. At this time
the people of this country, both men
and women, are busy in reflection as to
the best policy to be pursued 10 this re-
public. From the adoption of the Con-
stitntian to the present year, we have
beyond pasallel, 10 the worlds history
of nations, increased from four to forty
millions. Up to within ten years We
have been almost exclusively manu-
featuring and agricultural people, hav-
Ing comparatively no wars, or standing
armies but our history, from 1861 to
1865, is one of blood and anarchy.
The storm which for thirty years was
gathering, to break upon us 10 such
torrents, has passed. Our lakes and
seas no longer swarm with iron -clads,
and our rivers and streanlets have
ceased to be stained with human gore.
and the watch word Of the great mass
of the Ametican people once more is,

"EinalitieS.o

To those of the leaders of either the
Democratic or Republican party, who
are fond of the assertion that existing
outrage and oppression are "finallties," +"
we commend this passage from Charles
Dickens. The year is seventeen hun
dred and seventy five: There was a
king with large jaw and queen with
q fair face on the throne of France" and
.it scas clearer than crystal to The cords
Of the State, preserves Of lodues and fish
es, that THINGS WERE SETTLED FOREVER. !"
And yet, '.rooted in the words of France
aud Norway, there were growing trees,
already marked by the woodman, Fate,
to come down and be sawn into boards,
to make certain moreable Framework
ritka sack and knife nit, terrible in
history" And Gin the rough outhouses
of some tillers of the heavy lands ada
cent to Paris, there were sheltered from
the weather that very day, rude carts,
bespattcred with rustic mire, snuffed
about by pigs, and rooted in by poultry,
which the Farmer, Death. had already
set apart to be his tumbrils Of the Rev
olution. But "that Woodman and that
Farmer, though they cork Increasingly,
,cork silently. and no one heard them as
they cent about Nth me6ped tread: the
rather, forasmuch as to entertain any
Suspicion hatthey scere awake, iras to BE-
atheistical and traitorous."
This will do to ponder. 1t is most

From the st. Louis Democrat.
Fooled by a Sllrewd and Determ.
fned Little Girl.

Several days ago man, giving his
name as John W. Mitchell, called upon
Justice Jecko and requested his imme-
diatc attendance in his official capacity
at the Olive street Hotel The good
looking Justice started off post haste,
and being introduced to the bride, found
that she was mere child, not more than
thirteen or fourteen years of age. Her
name, she said, was Maria F. Casey. her
residence Citation County, Illinois. She
had e.oped with Mitchell with the delib-
crate intention of marriage, which she
desired performed as speedily as posi-
BILE. The usually urbane Justice refused
to act the parson in such an evidently
immature case, and retired. Mitchell,
however, Was not to be thwartcd in his
lplans, and called upon Justice Lawrence
to do up the little job. Meanwhile the
girl very sllrewdly came to her lovers
relief by darkcning the room, and upon
the arrival of the Squire placed herself
upon stool, so that she looked fully az
tall and a great deal prettier than the
nervous bridegroom. The unsophisti-
Gated Justice was fairly caught in loves
trap, and speedily launched the pair into
the turbid aud squally sea of matrimo

RuIlock,s bribery.

On the charges that bonds and money
had been offered to secure the votes OF
Senators in favor of continuing the
Bullock party in power in Georgia until
the fall of 1872, the senate judiciary
committee on Tuesday examined three
witnesses, namely: Judge Hughes, for
merly judge of the court of claims
Louis Porter, assistant postmaster of
Washington, and the Correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial. The form
er, who is now practicing lawyer here,
testified that he was approached by Por-
ter with an offer of large amount OF
railroad bonds, indorsed by the state Of
Georgia, if he would secure the vote of
Senator Carpenter against the Bingham
amendment. Porter's testimony was
long and rigid. 1t is said the commit
tee finally succeeded in gaining some
information which will lead to some
damaging revelations in connection with
the Georgia bill.
The correspondent testified that he
obtained his information from Joshua
Hill submitted to him certain papers
signed by him { Hill and Judge Hughes ;
that he understood that Carpenter was
the senator to be operated on with ten
thousand dollars worth of bonds, and
that he believed the statement to be
trustworthy, and refused to send it until
he had some evidence Of its correctness.

Cornn1Ittee WsrA.

Since men are to be afflicted with the
abuse Of committee legislation, the pro-
ceedings of these potent bodies ought
to be made public. In the British Pr
lament when an investigation Of this
sort occurs the evidence taken is p1b-
lished, and the law makers are not only
helped on in their work, but the public
is enlightened. What flood of useful
information wsuld be poured out could
we hear all that passed before the Com,
mittee Of Ways and Means IN theit late

.rhe richardson Trial.

The New York correspondent of the
Gazette, who has always been favorable
to Richardson, says that the trial has
lately produced reaction in his favor.
We take the liberty of doubling and dis
putting it. 1t is not yet concluded; but
the evidence thus far is strong and unan-
swerable that Richardson played a base
and treacherous part in seducing the af-
fections of Mrs. Mcfarland from her
husband, and whatever may be thought
of the conduct of the prisoner, no SYM
pathy can be pleaded in behalf of his
victim. The trial has developed the rot
tenness of the Free Love Literary Socie-
.ty of New York, and has thrown flood
of light upon it.-Cn Eng.

San Domingo.

The defeat this unprincipled ring suff-
cred in the Senate, the other day, has
not disheartened its leaders, and I am
told that a rally is in progress, promis-
ing better results to the greedy concern.
A stranger would be bothered to know
where the money comes in--but a knowl-
edge Of few facts, or little reflection,
tells the story. Let us suppose the debt
of the mongrel government to be eight
cen millions This could all be purclas
ed for million, and that probably with
out the expenditure of a cent. in actual
cash. The annexation of the Island puts
this heavy sum on par with our own in
debtedness. This is wortha fight.
Again, it is said company, organized
in New York, that is now one Of earth
breathing holes of hell, for the ostensi-
bic purpose of surveying lands. It is
claimed that the only surveys made are
of property held bt this company, for
which 10 money has been expended
The annexation would cause sudden
rise i'll real estate, astonishing to even
Chicago.
| That such questionable transactions
should send the President of the United
States to the lobby of the Senate, bet in
halid, to labor for their advancement, is
something new in the history of out
unfortunate republic.
What puzzles me is, to know where
the opposition wing gets its money =
There is such wing here, ,and it is abou,
as INSCRIPTIONS and active as its oppo-
nent. As you can not have valley

Adjoul nment OF the Legislature
Big Row.

CoLUMBUs, ONO, April 16.-The Leg.
islature has spent to-day mostly over the
business necessary to close up the sess-
ion. The House and Senate have set
tied their differences in regard to the
bill amending the municipal code, and
the same is now a law. A bill was pass
ed providing for the selling Of the old
site Of the Central Lunatic Asylum, and
the rebuilding of a new asylum on some
farm within four miles of Columbus, to
be purchased by the Governor, Attor.
ney General and State Treasurer. An
unsuccessful attempt was made in the
Senate to take up the bill for this sess-
ion.
Boti, Houses of the General Assem-
bly, held stormy sessions last hight, the
House adjourning at midnight and the
Senate at 5 O'Clock this morning. In
the House the Democrats offered 4 pro:
test against the action of the House in
ratifying the Fifteenth Amendment.
j. Hitchcock, Speaker pro. tenn, ruled
the protest out of order as cgAtaining

Facts for the People.


At the close of the war every South
ern State was Democratic, but the Rad.
icals give suffrage to the negro in order
that he might beat the white man at tho
ballot box and give the State to them.
Georgia under reconstruction, was
Democratic. The army was sent to stifo
the voice of the people, and force it 70
vote Radical. Z
On a full and fair vote-negroes and
all-Tcnnessec was Democratic. Tho
Radicals in Congress aremoying to stidc'
the voice of the people and force the
State to vote as they decree
West Virginia and Missouri would bc
largely Democratic but for the shame
ftl laws which exclude at least thirty
thousand of their white people from the
right of suffrage which every celered
man enjoys.
These are facts for the people, and
show as a contemporary says, ''that the
Radicals are cutting away the frame work
Of free institutions. The people may
stop it, or they may submit until their
votes are ND longer accepted or count
