WELL SAID,

Senator TRuHBULL, in his remarks in the Ser
ate last Friday week, made this reply to somO
over jealous Republicans. who had called his
Republicauism in question (:
Sir, who is the best friend OF the Republican
party, he who goes to work to ferrett out and re-
form its abuses for it is admitted that abuses
do exist-or he who throws first one obstacle
and then another in the way of investigation be-
cause the committee proposed is not precisely
the one he wants fit is expected by Senators
that the Republican party, which has hitherto
done So much for human liberty, its own and its
country's honor, and mr. mankind, is to preserve
its cscutcheon untarnished, they must purify it
of all corruption and make it party Of progress
and reform aud the day that it shall begin,
under one subterfuge or another to hide iniqui-
T" will begin 70 fall in public estimation aud
soon go down in disgrace under the condemua-
| ton of an honest people.
Nv Repubicanism is not partisan. | care
nothing for the Republican party except as
means Of benefit to my countrv and when
see around me, from the Pacific ocean to the
| Atlantic coast, first ono defaulter and then an.

by interposinglone objection and then another,

submit my Repubcanism to the test Of the Sen
ator from Indiana particularly after that decla-
ration Of his, first promulgated in the West, ant
repeated here to-day, that our civil service as I
exists. is the best in the world. The President
does not think our civil service system the best
the country does not think so ana il there il
one thing demanded by the honest people ot
this country, it is that 1t should be reformed anC
be made better.

A Noble County Indeed.

J. N. DALEELL, Prosecuting Alto rney Of No
BILE county, writes thus to the Cincinnati Ga
Stte, as to osthe.progress OF Temperance in that
county, and Of the glorious results thereof:
"Wo have not a single open dram shop in our
county. but Of course soma intoxicating liquors
are clandestinely brought in. And the good ef-
feots of this reform is indicated among other
things, by the fact that crime is almost unknown
10 our county Of 5000 people. Last year not
single felony was committed. Murder, arson,
burglary, robbery, larceny and crime Of like
magnitude, are unknown here. Al the last
term Of our Criminal Court there was nothing to
do ; consequently the expenses Of criminal prose-
cutions in Noble county will next year be very
smsll-much less than any other county 10 the
United States, no doubt. Ard will not the other
counties try to do as much for themselves as we
have done for our county by pushing forward
the temperance reform :"
1t is hardly to be expected that those in'eres-
ted in the.bickerings of ncighbors, SO frequsntly
the results Of intemperanc. and which unusually
ends in litigation, should take any very active
part in the suppression Of such evils. 1t is tax
ing bread out of their mouths, The inebridte's
family, Of curse, don't need any.
We are pleased to record il, however tha
there are disciples Of Blackstone in our oWr
county, as well as 10 others, who have takeu a
decided stand in behalf Of the cause Of temper
ance, knowing that q Legitimate livslyhood cat
be obtained without it being done at the e1
pense of the inebriale a.d lis family.

~ summed up thus:
lst. He has had the honor TO be Viewer on
several Roads, and "it has always been cHson;-
ary, where the road was Of any length, &c., aud
the work was all done in one day, to charge for
too Gays. Wonderful logic indeed I, Silas
d. Stenrns, have been viewer on public roads
before have helped to establish this method
of public swindling; IhaVs worked one day and
charged for t,ro before. Ye', Ihave done it, and
whateyer have done and still do must be right
andno man must call my doings in qucsiios.
O. Our deponent further saith: al have
known viewers on Improved Roads to ride
through on the road, spend perhaps half the
time we did and then meet next day and make
their report and charge for tieo days"
Yes, others have Violated the law and therefore
il was right for us to do the same. Ii 10 very
fortunate for the public that s. d. s. does not
want an Office. II he did. and should succeed in
getting it, he might be led astray by precedent
II his predecessors had bsen rascals his re-
markable initiative powers might lead him into
the same cinHei.
But the climax Of the argument is reached il

dened with double assessments to pay officer

the County Surveyor, and him alone, with pre-

customary" in viewing roads "of any length"
where the work is "all done 10 one day, to charge
for fco days" Has such a custom any founda-
ton in law ? When the law speaks of one day,
does it mean two days? Is custom your guide,
or law AS you "have had the honor to be
viewer on several roads," you certainly took The
oath OF viewer before entering upon your du.
ties in that capacity. You now virtually ac-

is customary, rather than by what is law. 1t is
time that the over burdened tax PAYERS of our
county know this. II is well too that they know

Custom may make distinction between rainy
days and clear days-the law does not. And
you think it is mot too much" to charge for one
days work, the price Of two days-becauss others
have done so-because it is custom. Ii you are
so welded tn custom, my dear sir, is it not
strangely inconsistent in you to take upon your
self oath to confer strictly in all respects to
the law governing viewers
The truth uf it is. Mr.. Stearns, your pitiable
excuses about what is customary" about
''working days" and about "not wanting Office ;"
is the sheerest gammoa and the lamest defense
ever brought before a reading public.
This is no "personal matter,"as you are
pleased to term It, Sias, but one which interests
the pnblic and which pertains to you in a public
capacity, and il YOU were compelled to "hunt the
county over to find a copy Of the JOURNAL, to
give you an excuse to satisfy your Itching de-
sire to rush into print it is clearly evident that
you have made the fastest time on record.
Yours, truly. GUSTAV.

The N New Year.

"New Years Day" as II is commonly termed'
was very generally observed in this oCAlitras a
holiday. The visitation Of friends, the presen-
tsiion Of gifts and the hosptaliles OF the table
being In order. In these matters we but follow
the usages OF past generations OF mankind, who
from TINA immeinprh,l have consocrated the
elnmeueement Of the New Year to similar pur
poses.
The Jews had a two fold commencement OF
the year-eivil and religious. The latter took
place from their exit from Egypt, which To them
was as the Christian era to us, new beginning
Of hme. This commenced about the vernal
equinox but the orgiuautear began at the au'
tumual. This was commenced with what the
Jews term their feast OF trumpets. Their New
YEARS Day was consequently religious festi
val.
The present uouth, (January,) was frst In
truduced into the year by NuNA, before whose
time the Roman year was very defective, aut
they were obliged to resort TO awkward expedi
ents in ordor to make Il agree With the sun ant
keep the seasons in their Place. This was ded
icated to ANUS, from whom 1t received its name
Meat offerings, libations and incense were free
~ offered to their idols, workmen entered on nsv
labors, scholars on fresh studies, and the Con
Auls took possession Of their Offices and in sole M
procession with the multitude, offered sacrifice
10 Jupiter Capitolinus, making their prayers an
VOWS for the prosperity of the empire.
Following their example, we too celebrate thi
day By acts not dissimilar to Those performed b
them Of old, In these acts, however, we are In
ausnced by a,higher civilization which reacbG
beyond imaginary objects, to Him who is tn
Supreme First Cause. With unequalled physics
advantages and blessings with national peac
and prosperity, aud the enjoyment Of the wide
rlnge of civil aud religious privileges, we ma
unitedly, as people and nation and ndividua
" as citizens and neighbors, rejnice over pa
benefits enjoyed and with hearty confidence wis
each other, "a Happy New Year"
