There was a noble youth, who,

to refuse. He was a pure young

the great statesman who kindly
invited him home to dinner.
"Not take a glass of wine?"
said the grSat Statesman, in won
derment and surprise.
"Not one simple glass Of wlne?"
echoed the statesman beautiful
and fascinating wife, as she arose,
glass in hand, and. with a grace
that would have charmed an an
chorite, endeavored to press it
upon him.
"NTo," said the heroic youth,
resolutely, gently repelling The
proffered glass.
What a picture of moral gran
deur wnsthat! A poor, friendless
youth refusing wine at tn, table

PresSdeat's MESSAGE.

II SHA e.
On our outside will be found the
message of the President, which
is a plain unpretending review of
the condition of public affairs,
and contains no suggestions to
Congress-, that is either new or
novel. After dealing another of
the blows at the frauking privi-
lege to which that venerable a.
buse has become very well used,
the President declares his appro-
val of Postmaster General Cres>
wells postal telegraph scheme,
but does not think the subject
eau be disposed of in the present
session of congress. The appre-
tensions Of those who recognize
in this scheme not merely a vast
job for private aggrandizementat
the expense of the country, but
dangerous interference Of govern
ment with the most private affairs
of the people, were not at fault
President Grant is now fully COM
mitted to this enterprise, and
may be expected to sustain it with
all the power of his administers
ton. Supported by a powerful
lobby supplied with abundant
means of ~persuasions, it will be
next to impossible to defeat this
scheme in the coming congress-
1t will be a partial realization of
that paternal policy of govern
ment which has found SO many
admirers in the recent political
history of the country. Railroads
and canals will next be absorbed
and finally all the business ofthe
people will be conducted by diff
ferent bureaus of administration.
This scheme will give to the gov
eminent tie control of not less
than 10000 new Office holders.
and supervision of the entire tele-
graphic correspondence of the
country. In an exciting campaign
it il easy to conceive of the ad-
vantages it would give to the par
ty manipulating the wires. Louis
Napoleon has already shown the
world what terrible uses he could
make OF a government telegraph
when he throttled the French Re
public. But his example will
doubtless powerfully recommend
this telegraph scheme to the lea
ders of the -o-ublican party. A
measure of legislation more par
tial and unjust, more completely
in the interest of the few at the
expense of the many could scarce
ly be devised. In a boundless
country like this, the annual de-
felt to the treasury under a re-
duction Of rates, would be enor-
NOUS, and that burden would fall
on the masses of taxpayers who
makes exceedingly small use of
the telegraph. OF the farmers
and mechanics of Ohio how many
are there who use.the telegraph
wires and who in their correspon-
dence cannot await the course of
the mails? Ofthe 800, 900 negroes
who voted for Grant how many
send a dispatch in a year? Yet
the vast majority of the people
are to be inflicted with this bur
den for the advantage of the few.
The scheme, however, has been
recommended by the President
md it, therefore, becomes a por-
ion of the policy of his party.

Presidential CEenseacy!

From Washington comes the
very startling news that Presi-
dent Grant has pardoned Hodges,
the payrpaster who swindled The
Government out of some $4,000
although he has not yet served
one-seventh part of the PERIOD
for which he was sentenced. A
year and a half ago, when this
polished robber was doomed to
ten years iii State prison, The Ad-
ministration organs exulted in
glowing eulogies of Grant and
has determination to stamp our
Tweedism in Federal offices by
making terrible examples OF cul-
prits caught and convicted. Ever
since then the case OF Hodges
has been held up as a sample Of
the administration of Federal
justice III contrast to the Ease of
Tweed IN New York. "TEere,"
pointing to Hodges, lis what we
do with our rascals," the Federal
orgaus were never tired Of shout
ing. They never forgot to add,
in the next breath, "There,"
pointing to Tweed" sis the way the
Democrats tried their thieves."-
The argument of the comparison
undoubtedly had weight With
many people. When, during 'he
campaign, a report gained circu-
lat;on that Hodges was to be
%.pardoned, it was Indignantly de-
MED by the Administration press.
1t will now be interesting TO note
how these same journals will ac-
count for the Presidents clemen
cy @ In ordering the criminals
release 30 soon after election aud
before Hodges has served one
fifth Of his sentence. Meanwhile
what has become Of those Ku,
Klux pardons We heard so much
about two or three months ago?
