of its oppressive provisions.

The EXCURSION. Stamford took bis soiled
Legislators, with other blowers and strikers,
on an excursion to Truckee OH Friday, the
9th inst. If the reporters who accompanied
the party tell the truth, every honorable,
honest man, if such there were aboard, who
was on the train must feel both his shame
and disgrace keenly. The Charmen Of the
Committees Oh Corporations Of the two
Houses seem, from the reports, to have been
the chief hunkies Of the batch. Stanford,
who was aboard, il at himself, must have
pitied to the bottom Of his boots-his only soul
these craven creatures, and doubtless said
to himself on his return, "God forbid that !
should ever witness another such sickening
sight; but that l had to 'stoop to conquer,
| should have washed my hands of the foul
business, and ordered the menials from my
sight"

AlPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
Tuesday, NoromJer 10, 1872.
Mhnt will the Resul, Eel

We know the result of the cleo
ton as far as the question as to
who our rulers shall be, but what
is to be the rule of these rulers we
are unable to tell, with any GER
tainty, but from the past acts of
the same party we. can conjecture.
And in looking over the record
of the past we must confess that
we are unable to see any measures
or movements that promise any
thing in favor of amore prosperous
condition of our country being
given us. We find that during the
past political campaign the vast
army of civil officers in the United
States employ have neglected their
duties and employed their time in
advocating the claims Of General
Grant for the Presidency. We find
the cabinet officers blowing their
masters horn in all parts of the
Union, instead of attending to the
important affairs of our nation.
We can easily presume that this
will cease now when the necessity
has passed, but whether the same
deeds will again be repeated, when
an election is pending before the
peorle again, no one can tell. But
the record that they have just ex-
posed to Us leads US to fear, that
the first seeming necessity to keep
the party in power, official duties .
will he neglected and the officers
viii again become mere political in
st umcnts. General Grant has a
new lease Of power, and viii proba-
bly, have two-thirds of each House .
in Congress to heartily support
him. Under no auspecies could a
party be put in better order to sue (
cessfuly carry out the principles of
reform in all the departments of
our government, were they so in
clined, and yet the hope that permc-
ates every Democrat that this much
needed reform will be granted, APP
pears to have but little chance. Yet
as Democrats, and as a part Of the
people, we hope for it, and if the
administration will but cause a
thorough reform in the civil service,
abolish the much abused fraking
privilege, the whole country will
feel its good results.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1872-11-19
Get Ready.

The recollection of Grant sug-
gests the idea that applicants for
public favor must begin to look
about and see how they are to Sc
cure the Offices they desire. OF
course, the more costly the present
offered, the greater probability
there will be of the giver being sue
cessful. The following, from the
Port Huron Commercial, may be of
some service to the hungry Office
seeker:
"Grant is reelected, and those
who expect to secure places under
him must begin TO arrange the pres
ents they are to bestow before hav-
ing their claims submitted to con-
sideTatiOn. There is no use of be-
ing modest about the matter, eth
CT. The people have Just voted
that such things are all right and
cOmmendable, and there will be no
necessity Of trickery or conceal
ment in the matter. Bribery is the
rule under the popular verdict. 1t
is to be served on all government
plates hereafter, and on all occa-
sions. The man who wants posi-
ton will understand that he is to
buy it, and if he gets it, the peo-
pie will only need to inquire how
much he gave for it. Official pat
ronage will be thing in the mar
ket, and its value will be regulated
by supply and demand"

The Boston Fire.

The loss at the great fire in
Boston is not as great as at first re-
ported; but the destruction of
property will not fall short of
S100,000,000. There is but little
feeling Of despodency, and all man
ifest a disposition to meet the re-
verses in the most cheerful manner.
Relief is being sent from various
quarters, as it is much needed. Ten
thousand girls of various occupa-
tions were thrown out Of employ
by the terrible calamity.
The Boston Journal thus speaks
of the relief sent by the citizens of
Chicago to the sufferers in the for
mer place:
"The fact that 100000 have al
leldy been raised in Chicago for
the relief of our sufferers by fire is
marvellous. 1t suggests that never
was there such a case of bread be-
ing thrown upon the waters and re-
turning after not many days. On.
ly little over a year ago in the
crisis of general solicitude which
none of us can ever forget We
hurried our contributions to Chica-
go. We hoped they would help tC
keep her people alive till they
should get fairly started in the long
weary work of bnilding their city.
Now, out Of their abundance they
are sending q glorious sum in charge
of a glorious committee for the re
lief of Boston. That they can d.
such a thing at this time is encour
aging TO all our business sufferer
as the fact that they have heart t.
do it is grateful and refreshing t.

The epidemic spreads with great

pots, the street cars being stopped.
Mules are being effected about as
badly as horses. a meeting of the
Fire Committee of City Council,
called meetings of citizens in each
ward to organize companies of citi-
zens to draw engines TO fires i'll case
of an emergency, nearly all the
horses in the fire department being

officers of the Fire Department |
have purchased six yoke of oxen.
They issued a call for vol ~nteers to
render assistance in case of emer-
gency. The weather has been wet .

known for some time to car builders, but

What Mr. Beeeher Said About the Affair.
August Waters writes to the Newark

Never did Mr.. Bsecher appear 80 grand

10 referring to the Woodruff outrage, | ven
tured to express my deep sympathy, where
upon, with quiet uplifting of his lion-like
head, be remarked. any dear friend, | do
not need any sympathy" After~.rd he re-
marked he felt troubled for bis friends, be-
cause they we're troabled but as for himself,
his life for twenty-five years in Plymouth
Church must be his only defence. 1t would
be impossible to describe ny feelings on
leaving the presence of Mr.. Beecher on this
occasion. The majestic preacher could not
bend 90 low as 70 notice Mrs. Woodruff until
| remarked that the woman was undoubtedl,
insane; and then, with the kindliesi of
smiles, he replied: 81 believe so too. At
any rate l can only. wish people better
minds" The frat thing said 90 approach
ing him was, "Of course, Mr.. Beeeher, this
thing is fraud from beginning to end p
To which be repliad with an Undesirable
