tropical, temperate or frigid, it acts as a

SENATOR WILSON ON THE STUMP.
some Facts worth Reading.
MARCH 10, 1872.


Senator Wilson made a most effective
speech in the New Hampshire campaign.
We give below some brief extracts:
WHY THE ADMINISTRATION is AssAILED.
You would suppose, to hear our Demo-
cratic friends talk, that we never had any
corruption before; that they had always
been pure, because they never published a
thief. Applause and laughter pro-
pose, right here, to lay down this PROPOSE
ton: that the reason why this Admins
tration is so assailed is not that it has been
more corrupt or as corrupt as its predeces-
sors, but that it is doing much to expose
thieving and to punish men who steal.
The Democratic party-I mean the mod
ern Democratic party-cane into power in
1929, under General Jackson. One man,
Samuel Swartwout, in General Jackson's
day, when the Government raised only a
few millions of dollars year, stole mill
hon of dollars i'll the New York custom
house, nearly as much money as has been
stolen under this Administration in three
years, in collecting and paying out nearly
twenty-one hundred millions of dollars.
The percentage of loss under the Admin
istration has been less than under any adj
ministration since General Jackson was
inaugurated President of the United States
There is not a shadow of doubt of it. l
assert here and now that there has been
q less percentage of loss under General
Grants Administration than any other
administration since the days of John
Quincy Adams. John Tyler, son of
President Tyler, in letter recently pub
lished, states that there were, in Van Bu-
ren's administration, ninety-eight receiv-
ers of the public money, ninety-six of
whom were defaulters. Ninety-siX out of
ninety-eight! [Laughter] Is there any
man here tonight who knows that any
one of those men was ever sent to the pen
itentiary? 1 believe Republican thief is
a worse man than Democratic thief.
Laughter He has not had so many bad
examples. Laughter and applause.
The difference between Republicans and
Democrats on this question is this
The Republicans try to discover and
punish their thieves; the Democrats never
punish theirs. You cannot tell me to-
night of a man who stole from the Nation
al Government under Democratic adj
ministration who was sent to the peniten.
tiary. Under this administration several
thieves have been sent there. Most O.
their stealing was under the late admins
tration, for there has been but little steal
ing under this.
There has been collected under General
Grants administration i'll three years near
ly twelve hundred millions of dollars
nearly four hundred millions ayear there
has been paid out nearly q thousand mil
lions of dollars, making about twenty-one
hundred millions of dollars. We have lost
out of all this immense sum, in all the de
partments Of the Government, million
and quarter-less than a fifteenth part OF
one per cent

Snow Sheds.

Miles and miles of these building have
been erected, and here again the terrible
severity of the wind is manifest. Some Of
these sheds are literally filled with snow,
which had 10 be taken out on fiat cars.
The smallest cracks were sufficient to let
it drive through in astonishing quantities.
Clinging to the rafters and braces Of these
sheds snow still remains in great round
cakes, many of them as large as wash-tubs
and as hard as ice. Some of the sheds
were literally filled to the top, and a pass
age-way has been cut for trains through
IT, leaving perpendicular wall upon each
side, against which the sides of the cars
rub.
These sheds are made with slanting
sides and roof somewhat like that of a
house. They are thoroughly braced in
side and covered with inch plank, tapping
each other like the weather boards or clap
boards of house. You cannot see cracks
sufficient for snow to get through, but it's
presence in such quantities inside is evil
dence that 1t did. These sheds, costly as
they are, will all have TO come down, and
heavy frame work with well nigh air
tight sides and top take their places.-H.

Rev, DR.. Huston.

The Memphis Appeal evidently does not
intend to spare the Rev.M Huston, whose
name has become somewhat notorious in
the past week. 1t alludes to him in the
following style:
There will surely be rise in the mar
ket of sackcloth and ashes since the fall of
the infamous DIR. Huston, of Baltimore.
The atrocious conduct of this Christless
Goddess rascal has caused many to realize
the cynical poets wish, when he called
for forty-parson power" TO sing the
praise of the great goddess Hypocrisy.
These shocking revelations cause both sim
ner and saint 10 loose faith in humanity.
Huston must have been model hypocrite.
His cravat was white as the beautiful snow.
His eyes had so often been lifted toward
the God they insulted that the optic
axes had a tendency to revolve in that di
rection. His mind was 80 pure that he
felt it a religious duty to hobble the chick
en- cock to prevent his Tapping his wings,
growing and gsllanting the hens on Sun
day, and to yoke the geese to keep them
from going into the fishpond washing in
violation of the Sabbath. Huston howled
talked, breathed, and belched religion. He
was SO sanctimonious that his wife should
have tied him to the bedpost at night to
prevent his being translated. But beneath
the thin crust of piety there was q seeth-
ing caldron Of corruption. Like the accursed
serpent that entered the garden of Eden
he entered the household of his friends,
blighted and blasted their happiness and
strewed along his shiny pathway the dark
wrecks Of ruined regulations. But Mem
esis, with her horrid whip, is scOurging
the rascal naked through the world. Ode
serted by mankind, whose enemy he has
been, and loathed by God, whose holy
temples he has desecrated by his horrid
mockery of religion" he will live amid
the excavations of a world from which he
would gladly fly, did he not know that il
70 a pardise in comparison to the torturel
that await him in the other.

INGToNs BIRTHDAY.-The Chinese shoe
makers at North Adams, Mass, of all the
inhabitants of that town, were alone pat
riotic enough to celebrate the birthday of
Washington, which they did by giving a
feast in their shops, and by letting off a
prodigious quantity of the most superior
imported crackers.

Hon. Henry S. Foote, of Tennessee, was
among the first to indorse the election of
Jefferson Davis as President of the South
ern Confederacy, and he is now, of the
leading men of the South, the first to APP
plaud the nomination of Judge Davis for
the Presidency of the United States. Mr.
Foote is apparently very partial to the
Davis falnily.-LouiSUiLIe Commercial.

Brick Pomeroy, who has been sued by n
New England lady, Miss Sadie Wilkin-
son, for breach of promise, sets up in his
answer that he never asked Sadie to wed
with him that she was given to drink,
and was loose her morals; and, further
more, that she was gifted with bad temper,
and threatened frequently to deprive him
of his life. It's a wonder that p. didn't
marry her.

Mr.. Barber voted to remove al

duty from tea, coffee, salt and coat.
The committee Of Ways and
Means reported IL bill making a re-
duction Of 10 per cent. on all tariffs.
A member moved to make the re-
duction2o per cent. The Chairman
of the committee, who had been n.
work for six months on the tariffs
assured Congress that to make tn
reduction 20 per cent. would ne
leave sufficient income to pay I'll,
expenses Of the government, pay
the public debt, aud pay the soldiers
their pensions. Mr. Barber voted
for the 10 per cent. reduction.
We submit to every candid man
do theabove votes indicate Mr.. Bar
Der to be u "ferocious protection
iSt:" Are they not consistent with
the following resolution, adopted at
Mr.. BIS suggestion, by the convem-
ton which nominated him:
RESOLVED, That labor Is the true source of
wealth and that all laws for the raising OF
necessary revenue should be so framed as 10
be least oppressive upon the ,aborcr, and best
secure to him ample reward Tor his toll
AMNESTY.
On the 18th Of January, 1872,
Mr.. Barber voted in favor Of llales'
Amnesty bill, by which all disabili-
ties were removed from all rebels
except members of the Z. 5. Con
grcss aud officers Of the army and
navy who withdrew and went into
the rebel service; the total mum.
Der of whom in all the land does
not exceed 200. Do the people de-
maud any more liberal amnesty
measure than that? We think not.
KNOW NOTHING ISM.
All the ground that exists for ac-
cnsing Mr.. Barber of know nothing
ism ~, that he voted against suS-
pending the rules to put on its pass
age n resolution proposing to 40
amend the constitution that any for
eiguer, without regard to age or
other qualification, would be eligible
To the office of President of the
United States rs soon rs he became
uaturali2ed. Who blames him for
that vote?
CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr.. Barber is called IN enemy to
civil service reform because he Voc
ted against a bill which provided, in
substance, AS follows: Thatit should
be penal offcnse, subject to fine
of 800 to 81 900 for member OF
congress- to express An opinion re-
spccting the fitness or uniitness OF
an applicant for appointment, ex'
ccpt it be done in writing, and then
oaly at the request OF the President
or head of a department. No sens
iblc man will blame his represents
tive for that vote.
PUBLIC LANDS.
Some hair Drained retormcr pro-
posed an article to the constitution
setting apart AL public lands cxclu-
siycly for settlers under the home
stead law, and rendering the pur-
chase Of u foot by any party for amy
purpose an absolute imposslblity.
II, for instance, settler wished to
buy piece of government land adj
joining his 100 acre homestead, he
would be, under the above article,
utterly unable to do 50. Mr.. Bar
Der voted against the proposition,
and for that vote is charged with
conserving with land monopols,s,
and in favor OF indiScriminate land
grants. Is the charge well sus-
taiurd? We thi0k not; and SO the

The Dolly Warden party in this
district opened the canvass by de-
cisrlng in their convention that Hon,
J. Allea Barber misrcprcscntod his

IN Congress against their interests.
Since puttng their candidate IN the
