State money, in direct violation
of the law; with appropriating
$4,000 to himself, and never
accounting therefor with ia,
king and payingout $40, ,000in
disobedience of the order of the
lower branch Of the Legislature;
with using nearly $4,000 in
the way of patronage to buy

S250,O00 in State bonds on no

to the great detriment Of the
State credit, and discomfort of
creditors in this country and

had met in the regular way he
would have been impeached.

will be elected to the Senate

l75 Representatives. Since
it first met two members have
been killed, five have died, and
fifteen are refugees from the

The factory girls in several
parts of New England are dis
satisfied with the treatment
they are receiving from their
employers. In Dover, New
Hampshire, about six hundred
have gone out on strike, and
a meeting offemale operatives
in Lowell have sent messages
of sympathy and,support. Ac-
cording to the complaint of the
chief speaker (Miss Collins), in
old times the girls were treated
like human beings, 'but lately
the cotton kings had become
more avaricious, and in their
wild rush for wealth had for
gotten all honor, and forsaken
every feeling Of humanity
The rights that these factory
girls are bent upon securing
are worthy of consideration,
and we hope they will succeed
in their demonstration against
the cotton kings ....

How TO TREAT A HORSE.
Some men have been using
horses all their lives on the
principle of forcing obedience
by the whip, without ever learn,
ing the true system Of Caress-
ing, coaxing, and rewarding by
such means as the animal can
appreciate. A handful ofgrass
snatched from the roadside
and given to your Rhorse when
tired, will do more good than
a cut with a whip. The horse
is not ungrateful; treat him
kindly, and he will serve you
faithfully. He is fond Of be-
ing petted, and we should take
advantage Of this trait in his
character.

Before the next great cleo
tiOn comes up, when the domi-
nant party, its leaders, and its
administration of the govern
ment, will be again tried before
the bar of public opinion, it is
we'll that the voters should full
ly understand the nature Of the
back-breaking load they are
carrying on their shoulders,
and be thoroughly alive to the
important fact that they are
to-day, and have been for the
past nine years, the most abus-
ed people on earth. The worst
featureofthe caseis, thattheyare
getting as obtuse upon the mat
ter of their wrongs as the most
Stolid slaves of the rotton des-
potismS and monarchies Of Eu-
rope; and they are actually
getting used to their burdens;
and, as we have lately seen by
the verdict of Pennsylvania
and Ohio, are disposed to hug
to their bosoms the rulers who
will surely load them to death
if put into office in 1872.
Can this astounding apathy
last? Will the old Democra-
cy notrise up in the power and
might of the party, and sweep
the reeking corruptions of the
hour from the face of this once
fair country, with the strength
Of the whirlwind? Why are

per year army expenditures,
and $2O,O0O,O0O navy, in a
time of peace, and no ocean
commerce to protect, if we
were not thus at peace with all
the world? Why allow the
public lands squandered away
in the shape of grants, which
grants are sold again to specu-
lators at so cents per acre,when
the lowest price of Government
lands is one dollar and a quar-
ter an acre? New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, New Jersey and
Maryland public land scrip is
being bought up at half a dol
lar an acre, by private compa-
MES, in huge bulk, when the
poor settler, who wants fifty OF
five hundred acres, has to pay
double that price. Wealth is
being wasted and squandered
by the present administration
and its pets, and the great mil,
lions, the poor man, the work
ing classes, have to stand the
cost of this waste. How long,
oh ye toiling millions, who are
thus robbed, will you continue
