PoLITIoAL BARGAIN.-In the Winter of ls4S-
the Wings and Democrats were almost equally
divided in the Ohio Legislature. Neither party
had working majority in the popular branch
and two Free-soilers, Townsend and Morse, from
the western reserve, held the balance of power
The election in Hamilton county was close, ow-
ing to some alleged irregulary Pugh George
E.) and Pierce, Democrats, contested the seats
of Runyon and Spencer who were Wings and
held certificates of election. The Wings stood
by the Wings, and the Democrats were solid for
the contestants. How would the Free-solers
vote? How and by whom could they be brought
around to see the legal question involved in the
contest from the Democratic stand point? These
questions were freely canvassed in the Demo-
cratic caucus. A prominent Free-soil lawyer
was called in consultation and, though up to
that time he had not been counted politician,
he then and there embarked upon political
career, with his eyes fixed upon the Presidency
of the United States. If we are correctly in
formed, he wrote a contract between the Demo-
Gratis and the Free-soilers, by which it was stp-
ulated that Townsend and Morse should vote
with the Democrats to unseat Runyon and Spen-
GER, and admit Pugh and Pierce to their seats,
in consideration of which the Democrats of both
branches of the Legislature agreed to unite with
Townsend and Morse, the two Free-soilers, and
elect the thimble-rigging lawyer-Salmon p
Chase-to the Senate of the United States. We
are informed that this contract, in the handwrit-
ing of the present Chief Justice of the United
States, is still in existence, and in possession of
a citizen of Cleveland, The bargain was carried
out by both parties in good (?) faith, and Mr.
Chase went to the Senate, where as the colleague
of Mr.. Seward, he bore distinguished part in
the anti-slavery debates of that time.-IndianGp-

That might prove how well my soul had strlven.

work of an old Vermont farmer, who has spent
his spare hours in working upon it for the past
eight years, He has produced an eight-day
clock, whose dial marks the second, minute
hour, day Of the week, day Of the month, month
and year; thermometer rests against its pendu-

ball of the pendulem contains miniature time
piece, derives its motive power solely from its
vibrating position, and keeps accurate time
There is also cylinder musical attachment,

HAIGHT's RECORD.

The Vallejo Chronicle furnishes the "Obitua-
ry" notice of Governor H. H. Haight;
The Democratic party have good reason to
distrust his Excellency, Governor Haight, whose
record upon every important party question will
not bear scrutiny. In 1856 Haight was a radical
Republican, and voted for John G. Fremont for
President in 1860, he sustained Lincoln, and
until the emancipation proclamation, approved
every measure of his administration. In 1857,
Haight supported the Know Nothing nominees
and favored excluding foreigners from holding
office or enjoying the right to vote until they had
resided in the country twenty-one years Eight
years ago he drew up the original Sunday law
that debarred the Germans from enjoying their
holidays, and used his influence to have it pass
ed. When running for Governor he promised to
sign any law which the Legislature might pass
for its repeal, but when put to the test he pock-
eted the bill for fear the Young Mems Christian
Association would haul him over the Goals, and
it became law through not being vetoed within
ten days after its passage.
In 1867 he stands upon a platform denouncing
these barbarian hordes and was pledged in favor
OF measures that would stop their immigration.
During all these years he employed Chinese in
preference to white labor. In 1868 he called
upon the President to empower him to use Fed
eral soldiers to overawe free expression at the
polls, and in 1871 supports platform that de-
nounces the employment of the army to enforce
the laws of the country in sedtious States. He
favored subsidies to railroads until he had signed
eighteen railroad bills, and then took n new de-
parture and vetoed two. He signed the infamous
ltigant bill, and the lottery bill, the million dol
lar bill, and then denounces the work of his own
hands, as if his latter day repentance will be be-
lieved sincere. He has established hosts of sim
ecures for his friends of Butter and Bread Brig
ade, and approved of the salary bill, which gave
Democrats fat and Republicans lean berths He
has accepted of the amendment to the Federal
Constitution, which he previously had declared
unconstitutional and an invasion of the rights of
the States, He has sent troops to overawe the
miners in Amador, demanding just compensa-
tion for their labor, and Joined the Industrial
Reformers, who are making fight against cap
ital and in favor of the workingmen. He has in
thousand ways sulti6ed himself, and the true
and faithful of his own party refuse to support
him, not knowing where he will stand if elected.
The Republicans, with whom he early affiliated,
cannot trust the party with whom he is identi-
fed, and the Democratic party believe him to be
a Republican at heart and not to be depended
upon. His record proves that he is constantly
SHINING and constantly rcpenting for fear of los
ing caste.

A CURIOUS DISCOVERY The number of bones
broken in English lunatc asylums has given
occasion for a curious scientific inquiry and it
is now asserted that the ribs of crazy folks are
more brittle than the ribs of the sane DIR
Hearndon instituted an examination of the bones
of twenty patients who died in Caermarthen
county asylum q In nine of these cases the
very frame work of the chest was found to be in
an abnormal and diseased state" In two in
stances the breast bone broke in removing il,
and generally the bones were no stronger than
stout card board. In one case the surface bone
was so spongy and soft that it easily crumbed
up between the fingers. Some of the ribs were
easily cut with a common knife there being,
through the brain, a wasting away of the phos-
pilates.

THE DAYs.-The names of the days were de-
rived from the gods worshpped by our Anglo
Saxon ancestors. On the first day of the week
they worshipped the sun, hence the day was
called Suns day or Sunday. The second day
was Moons day or Monday, Then they had a
god called Tuesco, or for him they named the
third, Tuesday. Wednesday was named for a
furious warrior, Wooden, whom after death they
worshipped as god hence Woden's day, or
Wednesday. Thursday was so called for Thor,
the god of thunder. Friday for Frigs, mother of
all gods and Saturday was Saturn's day.

UNCLE SAM AS A GoLD CARRIER.--It seems that
the United States mail by railroad, between this
city and New York, is largely availed of by bust
ness men here for the tranmission of gold I'm
der the law which permits the carriage at mail
rates of packages any goods not weighing over
four pounds, gold can be sent at much lower
rates than expressed effecting great saving to
the shipper, or receiver, as the case may be.
Thus 5 900 in gold, weighing little less than
four pounds is taken by mail for So 70, while on
the same amount by express Sl2 30 is charged.
The money is put up in tin boxes, or well Sc
cured packages, and if the amount sent is over
81 900, it is made into separate parcels to the
same address, as the law permits. The saving
by this mode of transmission is so great that
more gold is said to go into the mail bags than
as freight. Insurance can be obtained on mail
shipments at the same rates as on others, so
that the security is equal, and this new method
of shipping has had so much effect on the prices
of exchange that bills are now sold for three
quarters of one per cent, where l. would other
wise be charged The mal-bags are made
more weighty, but Government makes about
%oo,ooo year out OF the precious freight 1t car
ries at such a saving to the business community,
and there is no more risk of robbery than the
express is liable to, while there is an equal
chance to recover by insurance. Thus, the sys-
tenn of low postage on package supplements the
money order sytem, with superior facilities for
actual coin shipments and it is not surprising
that more and more gold is going through the
mails hence to the cities of the East.-BuLletin.

The Development of the resources of
the country has never been so great as
during the years since the end of the war
1t has been at least tenfold greater under
the policy of republican administration
than it was during the palmiest days OF
democracy. This fact, patent to the most
superficial observer, speaks volumes for
the republican policy and proves its adap-
tation to the peculiar circumstances of our
country. 1t is not so much republic
can as an American policy, and this
is the secret of its triumphant success.
On the other side, the policy of the de.
mocracy partakes much of foreign eie
ments and has more or less OF refer
enee to the interests of foreign capitalist
and manufacturers. This is why the de
velopment of our country has Away
been so slow under the democratic poll
cy. The adoption of this policy at the
present time would be a most unfor.
tunate movement. 1t would retard the
development of the country most serious.

rEE ARMY DEFAULTER.

The letter of Major Hodge to Gen. B
W. Brce, which appeared in the journal
few DAYS since, is an ingenious and pa
tbetic composition. 1t is not the utter
auce of systematic and hardened william,
nor the whining excuse of a canting cow
ard Ii indicates frank and generous
nature. erring through weakness instead
of deliberation, and while it ought not to
extenuate his SIN or mitigate its penalty
1t certainly should awaken a feeling OF
charity and sympathy for the man.
The mental anguish which Mr.. Hodge
saws he has suffered from the knowledge
of his theft explains those mysterious dis
appearances which so often precede the
discovery of unfaithfulness to trust. The
simple horror of knowing ones self to be
thief. while regarded as honest by others,
appears to be such that discovery itself,
with all its dreadful consequences, is re-
lief. The man seems to be on constant
trial by himself, and be he never so iovial
and assured outwardly, inwardly he con-
stantly hears the verdict of guilty pro-
nounced against him.
Major Hodge was certainly tempted be-
yond most men. During the last six years
more than twenty-nine millions of dollars
passed through his hands. OF this he took
about half million. But the Treasury
Department, whose business it was to de-
tect the theft before more than fraction
of this had been taken, appears to have
failed in ordinary prudence, and every
thing except his conscience favored the
defaulter's wrong-doing. Like John Rog-
ers, the defaulting cashier of the Pejeb-
scot Bank at Brunswick, who says that an
examination of the bank books at any
time during the last thirty years would
have revealed his dishonesty, Hodge was
in sense aided in his sin by those whose
business it was to keep him honest by con-
stantly looking out for dishonesty. VIII

fault with other menp
