revenue by delalcations and the pur.
loiniug Of public funds. These and
inuumerable acts Of a similar nature
should consign his administration to
iniamy, Bad aud reprehensible as these
acts have been, his administration is
ehargcable with others more damning
aud dangerous TO liberty aud the per.
petuity Of free government than all
these combined. When an administra.
tion in power uses the patronage and
lnilunec of Office aud the funds of the
government to influence elections in
order to retain power, there is no secu-
rity for the future. The present Fed.
eral administration, or the party that
sustains it, is not only justly chargea.
bic with this great crime, but, it is al.
legged, upon high authority, with the
still greater one of causing repeated
revision of the returns of the late elec.
ton in North Carolina, by which the
Democratic candidate was counted out
aud the Republican candidate counted
IN, with the view to its influence upon
the Presidential election 10 November.
Such an administration should not only
be removed from power by the votes Of
the people, but consigned by history to
lasting dishouor. The whole course of
Grants administration is a scandal to
the country aud an outrage upon the
rights of the people Any change
would be an improvement upon it
none could exceed it in oppression,
corruption, aud utter disregard of every
correct principle of government aud
every right Of the citizen.
For these, with other reasons which

as before iutimated, support Greeley
and Brown with all the euergy possess,
and hope that every Democrat aud
Conservative will heartily unite to rid
the country of the ring government,
which is eating out the substance aud
subverting the liberties of tho people.

Chnrybdis and Scylla, according to
Grecian Mythology, were two terrible
monsters who dwelt opposite to each
other, the first on the Sicilian, and the
latter on the italian coast. Charybdis
abode 10 rock of the sea shore, and
three times a day gulphcd down the
waters Of the surrounding sea aud cast
them up again. Scylla, whose den was
in another rock, was still moro loath-
some, having twelve feet and six necks
and mouths, each one of which took
victim from every passing ship. In
geography, Charybdis was a whirlpool
on The coast Of Sicily, aud Scylla a rock
on the coast Of Italy, whose proximity
rendered the navigation Of the Messe-
nian straits extremely dangerous to sail
ors 10 ancient times. Hence originated
the expression, 10 SO common use at
present-Avoiding Charybdis and en-
countcring Scylla, aud vice versa.

When nights gold urns grow fainter,
And in depths of amber die
When the morn brecE e stirs the curtain
Bearing an odorous freight
Then visions strange, uncertain,
Pour thick through the Ivory Gate.
All, the vision Of dawn is leisure

Rapid Railroad Track Laying.

A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
The new Baltimore and Potomac railroad
which Colonel Thomas Scott and the New
York Central are now building, is a rival to
the Baltimore and Ohio A through line
between this city and Washington was com
pleted through to Baltimore yesterday, in
an eminently characteristic manner. The
opponents of the road having failed in all
other expedients, had determined to get
out an Injunction yesterday to prevent its
passage through Baltimore. Their project
becoming known to the officers of the COM
pany, all hands, some 300. were massed
from all along the line, and as soon as the
court adjourned Monday work was begun
in earnest-in constructing the road and
laying the track through the city. Night
setting in, they were retarded little, but
the moon came out, and they went on the
same as ever.
At twelve o'clock nearly half the track
was completed, and the men tired and hun
CRY from excessive labor, pitched into four
wagon loads Of provisions that had been
brought along, with a fine relish. Work
was resumed with vigor, and before nine
o'clock yesterday forenoon, the time when
it was supposed that the injunction was to
have been issued, the last spike had been
driven. The distance OF the track laid was
about two miles, and crossed three streets
Galveston road, Franklin and Townsend.
At the two latter, double tracks were laid.
The hands belonging on the lower section
of the road embarked on the trains for their
quarters, and they moved off amid chorus
of yells and screaming of engine whistles.
1t is authOritatively stated that the road
will be running to Washington in a week or
ten days.

St. Charles Theatre.

The performance at this establishment
than anything that has been given during
the engagement of the memorable George
Francis Train, the gentleman who is now
starring it at that establishment with
most astonishing success. Last nights
performance has convinced us that
Mr.. Train is, like "COOney in the hollow"
a very apt scholar. He visited the re-
turned convention yesterday at the Me-
chanics Institute, and, after taking a short
lesson from the cOlored members, was ena-
bled to rise, at the opening of his perform
ance, to a frst-class question of privilege.
He cook from his pocket, in the best style
of our most inflated specimen of legislative
wisdom, a copy of the New Orleans REPUB-
LIcAN and Times, and read extracts from
both of those papers, and then pitched into
them in a style peculiar to George. This
part of the performance was new and
highly entertaining, because eorge,spu FRED
on by the aforesaid REPUBLICAN and Times,
excelled his ordinary self.
George has often been accused of being
mad, and has as often denied it; but if he
was not mad last night, then we honestly
confess we are no judge of madness. He
pitched into the REPUBLICAN, and Times in
a very savage manner, calling them little
One-hOrse papers and other names that did
not sound well to ears polite. George has
an utter contempt for the pulpit and the
press, and profound regard for Mr.. Train,
and that's just what's the matter.
Train is everything with him, and the
man that does not fall into that train of
thinking is nobody in the eyes of Mr.. Train.
With the exception of the question of
privilege" there was nothing novel or start
ling in what was done by the greatest
spread-eagle orator and mimic of the age.
But tonight the public is promised some
thing good. He will speak On the world,
the flesh, and the devil.

now being erected on the levee, between
Grayier and GirOd streets, that will still
further restrict the space, already INSULT
cient for holding cotton brought in by two

NEW ORLEANS LANDING, June %, 1872.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The above, from this evenings Pieagrtne,
forcibly suggest to your correspondent the
necessity Of some one of our city papers
taking the river interest in hand on the
same footing as financial and other COM
mercial matters. River reports, as we now
get them, and the river interest summed up
in the columns of our dailies. amount TO
nothing more than big puff, graduated in
length and quantity according to the num-
Der of dollars some vain and glorious clerk
or captain may feel disposed to pay from
an owners Golfers to impress on the pub
lie mind that at least one individual thinks
him bully fellow.
Is it not time that this system should be
abolished by our first class journals If
they can afford to employ a financial, com
mercial and local reporter, why should not
our river interest, in which over five mil
hons of dollars is invested, be entitled to
the same consideration Do any of you
publish a railroad column, giving to writers
Of squibs in the same the privilege of tax
ing the various routes mentioned five, ten
or twenty dollars Why should this tax be
placed on our boating interest Are those
engaged in the navigation of our inland
waters SO particularly sinful that they,
above all others, should be put to the tor
ture The wrong is a grievOus one, and
calls loudly for correction. Can not you, as
an independent journal, come to the relief
of the river interest, take up our cause,
and, as in other matters, set your eontem-
poraries an example in journalism Though
less favored by it than others have been,
do what you can for the
STEAMBOAT INTEREST.
