STILL THEY COME.

The Washington Patriot says No
day passes without bringing to light some
new defalcation. As the days OF the ad-
ministration diminish, the thieves who
support Grant and denounce any form
of opposition seem to multiply. They
are all of the loyal stripe, and what IS
quite remarkable, whenever an oshce-
holder steals widows pensions or robs
the till Of the Treasury, the telegraph or
pensioned press is quick to assure the
public that no loss will occur. At best
il is only a slight irregularity, and the
robbery is usually estimated at about
one-tenth of the actual amount Only
a few weeks ago Collins deiaulted in
Washington, and the missing money was
stated at $40, 900. 1t has already reached
$4,000, and is still growing. When the
United States Treasurer office was
Numbered, owing to a loose system o.
accountability which would disgrace
huckster's shop, it was a mere bagatelIe
but it soon ran up to $4,000, which Mr.
Spinner, who handles millions, thinks a
triae. A few days ago, Baltimore, and
on March %, Maine, contributed theil
quota. The recent average Of stealing
has been about $4,000 a day, amoag

THE SOUTH.

The Pittsburg Post says Of the South;
The people of the South are naturally
a proud and high-spirited race OF men,
vet for years have they been under the
heel of the silent Idol at Washington,
bearing as best they could each turn OF
the tyrannical screw; and they have sub
mitted, generally in silence-hoping for
relief from the sober second thought OF
their fellow-citizens. True, insolent
carpetbaggers have now and then been
treated to a taste of rough and pro TEN
Justice, and murderous and thieving ne
groes have been punished outside of the
law. But that is exactly what might
have been expected to be the result OF
reconstruction ana Ku-Klux legislation.
Opposition on the part Of the govern
ment necessarily engenders conspiracy
upon the part Of the oppressed, The
flesh VIII culver where the pincers tear
but the legitimate results of tyranny
should be placed, not upon those who
writhe under the inhiction, but upon
those who infict it.

Lasting LONELINESS.

Twenty years ago, when paint, pearl
powder and enamel were running the
compilations and destroying the health
of women of fashion, HAGAN's MAGNOLIA
BALM was brought out as a pure botan-
ical cosmetic, guaranteed to restore
bloom and beauty to the skin. From
that time to the present it has been con-
tinually rising in public estimation as
the safest and most unexceptionable
preparation of its class. Instead OF
producing an artificial, metallic surface,
like the deadly enamels, or willing the
cuticle like the poisonous fluids sold
under various names as "beautihers,
IL keeps the skin as soft as velvet, rem
ders it as smooth and glossy as satin,
and imparts to it that delicate, rosy
tinge. which is the beau ideal of COM
plexional loneliness. This exquisite
chromatic effect is not transient. BY
applying the Balm daily it may be pre-
longed from youth to age. A lady who
purchased the first bottle of the article
nineteen years ago, writes to say that
her complexion at forty is "purerr
clearer and more brilliant than 1t has
ever been;" and she attributes its beauty
solely to the daily use of HAGAN's MAG

nvAyE OF PROFESSOR MORSE.

Professor Morse, the inventor OF the
telegraph, died yesterday in the city OF
New York at an advanced age. lie was
the most renowned man of all TINS
world. If Franklin demonstrated that
lightning and electricity were the same
Morse brought it into practical use.
Aeter long struggle to induce Con-
gress to afford him the means OF testing
his discovery between Washington and
Baltimore, that body, after years Of
doubt and delay, finally, in ls43, gave
him thirty thousand dollars. The line
was completed in 1874, and the expert
ment completely successful. 1t was an
achievement that thrilled while 1t aston
ished the world. Men Of science per
ceiyed in moment that if man could
stand in Washington and converse with
a man in Baltimore, the whole world
might be connected by telegraph. Pro
lessor Morse lived to see his inven-
tion more successful. than he had
dreamed Of, perhaps, in his early days.
He lived to see his telegraph engirdle
the world. He lived to see it revelu-
tionize commerce. He lived to see his
name honored all over the world, and
his fame rendered immortal. He lived
to see monument erected to his mem
ory and genius, and died at last only
when the vital functions of life could ex'
list no longer. The fame of no states
man or warrior will survive that OF the
inventor of the telegraph.

made furious onslaught on Trochu's
character, causing great excitement
Trochu's counsel seized Lochaud and
held him down, and when the excite
ment subsidized he vindicated Trochu's
character in an able speech. The jury
gave verdict of justifable libel as far
as regards Trochu's Governorship OF
Paris, but found the editors OF the Figa-
70 guilty of using insulting language to-
ward Trochu.
There is aninAux of Bonapartists from
Great Britain and other countries, and
the reaction is aided by the evidence at

of the responsibility of the ruin OF
