NeSlllItll's speech

"Figures wont lie," is no longer an
axiom, since Ex-senator Nesmith has
begun to tillancier. He said that the
expenses of the last year of Buch.
anan's administration were $55,-
901, 600. The Portland Herald
some months since said they were
s5S, ,469,7S0 0s. 1t will be observ-
ed that the discrepancy between
these two Democratic authorities
amounts to over t,co millions md
q haJ. The real fact IN the matter
is, the expenses Of Buchanan's adj
miniStration for his last year,
amounted in round numbers to
ST, 100000. If Nesmith would
misrepresent in this particular, is it
doing him an injustice to suppose
that he would do the same in his
other financial statements? 0 those
one hundred and sixty wagons Of
gold! Bah! Why didn't he make
a Tammany computation in wag-
ons?

sham.

Democratic politicians pretend to
be dreadfully afraid that Ben Hol-
laday will get possession Of the
Canal and Lock Improvement.
They make that a political issue.
Their fear, however, is a big sham.
The 0,egomion says shat at any
time during the last eighteen
months the 'monopolist' could have
bought out the Canal and Locks
Company" 'that a majority Of
the stock has been repeatedly Of
tered for sale to Mr.. Holiday, and
such an offer has been made within
the last few weeks" This fact
shows how ridiculous is the plea
urged, that a Democratic Legisla-
ture should be elected to prevent
iIolladay from monopolizing the
Locks. The company has all ele-
phant on its hands, and would
gladly sell out to Holiday, to-day,
fhe would buy.
Carl Schurz, in consultation with
the Missouri delegation at Cilcin-
natl, previous to the nomination Of
Greeley, said that lie was the
weakest candidate the convention
could nominate; that while he re-
Spected Greeley, that lie was not
the man, with his habits and lack
of administrative ability, to receive
the highest nomination; that he
was weak man among the Ger.
mans Of Ohio and Illinois, and nc
one who could not secure their suf
frages could be elected to the Prpsi-
dency. 1t was noticed that in the
closing address of schurz to the
convention, he uttered no words Of
commendation of either ticket Or
platform.

The Clerical villain Of Baltimore.
PROM the Ballimore American. Teb. %.

From the Baltimore American Feb %.
The apparent effort making by GER
tain parties to shield the Rev. L. d. Hus.
ton, late pastor Of Trinity Methodist
Z Episcopal Church South, from the charge
Of seducing several children connected
with the Sabbath School of st. Paul's
Church of the same denomination, has
induced US to thoroughly investigate
the matter. The result of this investi.
CATION has satisfied US that more base
and black hearted villain never dis
eraced any walk Of life than the Rev.
L. ID. Huston has shown himself to be.
One of the victims whose young life
has been blighted by the touch Of the
seducer was pupil Of the Western Fee
male High School, the daughter of a
lady we'll known to many of the people
of Baltimore as q lady of culture and
refinement. She was a fair scholar,
stood well in her classes, and, up to the
day of the melap choly discovery, there
never was anything in her conduct that
excited the least suspicion on the part
of her companions or her teachers.
Two years ago he took her out with
him nominally for the purpose of
walk, but really to an designation house
kept by a colored woman whom he had
brought here from. Virginia, where he
accomplished her ruin. Subsequently
he often took her to this and other as.
signation houses, and taught her, in her
childish innocence, that there was
nothing wrong in it, at the same time
frequently making her swear, with her
hand upon the Bible, that she would
not divulge the matter to her mother or
any living soul.
But this is not all the villainy charged
against this monster. The girl AYERS
that DR.. Huston had taught her to be.
lieve that such things we're common.
He told her to pick out among her ac
quaintances any young man that she 4
thought would best. serve the purpose,
and invite him TO take her to one of the
houses to which he had SO frequently
taken her. His object evidently was to
blast her character for reliability in case
any disclosures should at any time be
be made against him, and the letter |
intercepted by her mother
was undoubtedly written by him and
signed by another name to throw doubt |
on the mothers mind as to the truth of |
the revelations her daughter had made |
TO her. No such person lived at the |
house where the letter was dated from,
and no such person was known by the |

child.

ers, as they would shield bis other VIC
Tins from the sorrow when has almost |
crushed their hearts. Suffice it to say
that there were other children whom
he held in the same wicked snare, who
visited the same places with him, and
who were bound by like oaths not TO |
divulge the secret. They fortunately
have not been brought to the public |
gaze, but outraged parents would have
taken the life Of the villain il he had
not precipitately left the city.
