j Extract from Gen. MoRSan,s1SpseEn.
General Morgan, in accepting the
to Congress week be-
fore last, made brief speech, from
which we make this extract and COM
mend it to the consideration Of all
our readers-Democrats and Repub-
licans alike: - -. = .sh'l
" At this moment the agricultural
Interests of the country are being
plundered and oppressed BY the mo-
nopolists of the East, and the evil can
only be corrected by the intelligent
action of the people at large. For
instance: within fraction, Ohio pays
one million six hundred thousand
dollars more internal revenue taxes
than all the New England States; yet
the State of Massachuset 8 alone is
worth seyenty-seven millions more of
property than Ohio. The truth is the
ingenuity of the East has grown rich
upon the industry of the West. ! At
this moment, while New England is
the champion of protection, she OBJ
tains free of duty every article which
is calculated to enhance the Interests
of her own citizens. Thus her, fish
packers draw, their salt from atlaesous-
tom house without paying duty; while
the beet, pork and butter packers of
the West pay one dollar ana fifty
cents tax on every dollars worth OF
salt. do not complain of the IprOs-

England has ottwitted theb West.

/. GENERAL MUs;TAcHE..

The French were very hopeful in
having Marshal 'Leboeuf. In this
hour of his disgrace the following,
from the Paris correspondent of the
London Daily Neaos, is interesting:
" Marshal Leboeuf has dimples.-
His beard is Olympian and his mus
tache would stretch twice round the
body of M. de Bismarck, or, tied end
to end, would reach across the Rhine.
He is the very type, of the heroic. SOL
dier; commanding torso, a stout
heart, and sweet and gentle manners
The Gaulois entreats its readers to
contemplate the picture of the figure
that goes forth this Saturday. eve
ming to the banks OF the Rhine, to
strike terror into the hearts of the
.Prussians. And in this style whole
gallery of portraits has been painted.
NJ. Francisque Sarcey observes, Y ou
must make loud shout if you would
be heard at great distance He
sees distinct gain in measuring the
mustache of Marshal Leboeuf The
immortal elun of '92 must be thor
oughly brought to the popular mind.
This can be reproduced only by yehe-
ment writing, drumming, and singing.
The French must be told, in a. hum
dred different forms, how chivalrous,
brave and generous they are; that
they are covered with military glory
already-with just one little bare
spot to be FURNISHED by the victories
of 1870; and that the world, in breath

IL A Massachusetts, statesman, lone
Bancroft Davis, d fellow who had, by
some means or other, been made one
of the directors of the Erie Railroad,
and who, while in this relation to that
corporation, took q bribe OF $50, 900
to betray the Interests of the qcompa-
ny, and diddle the stocKholdefa out
of a large sum of money, was the
other day made Assistant Secretary
of State, and has taken up his abode
in Washington Grantappointsd him
and the Senate sanctioned the act, and
to-day this individual is hand and
glove with the Puritan of the. White
Honse. Some people, some Journals,
nay, even some. of the ruling party
are disposed to protest against so out
rageous an act on the part of Grant
and the Senate. Why, it's perfectly
enregle. When the accident of
the. White House calls honest and
high-minded officials about him, to
aid in the administration of the gov.
ernment, Satan will have been con-
yerted to sanctity, and that hot place
we read about in the Bible will be
transformed into an; ioe cream depot.

THERE seems to be no doubt that
Congressman Butler OF Tennessee,
who, was charged with selling a CADET
ship to West Point, but escaped ex-
pulsioh, has been guilty of d more
serious 0ffense. He is charged with
forging the name of poor widow to
papers to the pension bureau, and
drawing the money due her without
her knowledge. The offense is one
of the most flagrant character, and if
the Congressman is guilty, as, there
appears to be no reason to doubt, his
punishment ought to be swift and Sc

It was night. Jerusalem lay quiet

But mortal darkness involved the
nation in its unlighted shadows. Rea-

undiscovered, and his future destiny

A New YORK dispatch Sunday night
to the Cincinnati Chronicle says Hen.
ry Ward Beechers church was filed to
more than the usual suiiocation this
morning, it having been rumored that
he would take new departure in ec-
centric theology, The audience were
not disappointed Taking Matthew xiii,
30th verse, as his text, he proceeded to
pull the plug ont of the bottom of the
lake of fire and birthstone. The Bible,
he said, was full Of fiction; as examples
he mentioned the future life and the New
Jerusalem. I ry man, be declared,
was his own heaven, maker. His res
marks were humorous in the extreme,
and the congregation were kept upon a
broad grin until they drew the corners
of their mouths for the bencdiction.
