There is a soft-headcd as well as soft
hearted sentimentality which pleads for Tweed
and Gould's Chairman of Judiciary in our
Reform" Senate, because he is "S.sadly
"broken," and because he "did MT realize
"what he was doing" There is no convict
at Sing Sing for whom as much might not be
said. Members who talk about reaction set
ting in for the man, since tho brutal" mo-
ton for his expulsion, might as well talk
about reaction setting in for some sadly
broken" house breaker, after the brutal
sentence to Sing Sing by Judge Bedford OF
Recorder Hackett.

Taxpayers will not contemplate with COM
fort the figures relating to the cost of the
"newn Court house, which appear in our
Albany correspondence this morning. The
Controller reports that the total amount of
bills paid and due is about S14,0OOOOO! This
enormous sum, to be sure, includes furniture
and repairs" but the grand total is some
thing terrible to contemplate. 1t would, per-
haps be liberal estimate to fix S2,OO0,OO0 as
the actual cost of such a work as that which
we call the New Courthouse, including its
furnishing. SO here We have an excess of
S12,000,000 yet unaccounted for, and never
likely to be explained, as the fraudulent
vouchers which covered most of the disburse-
ments have been destroyed. The Tammany
Ring stole S12,OOO,OOO through the Courthouse
job. How do their apologists and defenders
like the figures

Omaha and Council Bluffs are having an
angry and excited contest over the Missouri
Bridge question. Congress has authorized the
building of a bridge connecting these two
cities for the presumed use of the Union
Pacific Railroad. But Omaha, having given
several blocks of land to the Com
pany for depot purposes, on condition
that the trains are all made
up on the Omaha side of the river, the Rail-
road Company decline to run their trains over
the bridge. Consequently, the only use pro-
posed for that expensive structure is that the
connecting roads on the eastern side of the
river shall run cars across to Omaha, paying
$40 each therefor The rivalry between the
two cities is so bitter that dispatch says
that a band is organizing to tear up the lines
terminating at Council Bluffs. We may have
a repetition of the old Erie war, further west

A letter from the Hassler expedition, pub
lished in The TRIBUNE to-day, tells OF the
good use the naturalists are making of their
long detention at Rio de Janeiro. Sixteen
large cases of specimens are already
on their homeward way; and among
them are, it is believed, some remarkable
evidences of the truth of certain prophecies,
which Prof. Agassiz ventured to make before
the expedition started. as to what novelties
would be found. With other specimens, how
ever, the Professor has not been equally for
tunate, as an enthusiastic servant at the house
of friend where he was staying poured the
alcohol OFF the fishes, scaled them, and served
them up at the table, fried.

Aggravated Indigestion.

Persons who predsposed to dyspepsia, find
their suerings from this cause greatly aggravated
by damp weather eastery winds, and sudden changes
from a mild to chilling atmosphere. In the
spring, therefore, the pangs of indigestion are
seriously augmented by the atmospheric variations
peculiar to the season, aud it is incumbent upon all
who desire to pass through the ordeal of its cold
mists and insalubrious gales with easy stomachs
and untormented by the indiscribable torrents
which accompany dyspepsia, to tone and strengthen
he digestive organs with healthful and6hectiye
vegetable invigorant; and at all familiar with
the medical record of the age, can question for one
moment that Hostetter's stomach Btters is the
Tonic best adapted to this purpose.

equalled in number and character by those Of any
other advertised medicine in the world If ever there

Champion Tonic and Alternative on this side Of the
Atlantic. in popularity il has never been approached
