THE CREDIT MOBILuER SCHEME
The evidence of Oakes Ames before
the Credit Mobillier investigation dis
agrees decidedly with several Of the
denials printed during the campaign"
says dispatch in the Advertiser. ellis
testimony, with that which has gone
before, has fixed direct or indirect own
ership OF interest in the Credit Mobil-
lier upon nearly all whose names ap-
peared in the McComb list. In most
instances the stock was held in the
name of Cakes AmeS. Some paid
part for it, and some paid nothing"
The same correspondent thinks that
the explanation made by Mr.. Brooks
only serves to further complicate the
case. This investigation like all other
Washington investigations will not
amount to much The result Of it will
only show the willingness of the ad
ministraton to cover up and whitewash
over the deepest corruption found and
other crime GRANTS re elected and
consequently the people cannot expect
any release from the present rotten ar
cement.

State Rights.

The disgraceful struggle going on
in Louisiana is one which interests lis
all. The question is not whether Pinch
back Or Warmoth has the right to sit
in the Governors chair, or whether the
Legislature convened in Mechanics In
stitute or that other one in the City
Hall is the rightful Legislature of the
State. The question is broader than
that it is whether State has the
right to govern itself. For the time
being Governor Warmoth, miserable
"carpet-bagger" and unprincipled poll
tician that he is, and those who act
with him are the champions Of this
right of the State. On the other side
are the federal oifice-holders ct New
Orleans, the federal court, the federal
troops, and, behind all these, the fed
eral executive. Alexander Hamilton,
who was a monarchist, in favor of the
strongest central government which
could be secured, once said: "The
States can nevor lose their powers till
the whole people are robbed of their
liberties ?" Have we already lost our
liberties, or was Hamilton wrong?

In his annual report, not yet print
ed, General Spinner, United States
Treasurer, says in reference to civil
service reform and increase of pay for
certain employees of the Government !:
"No real radical reform in the civil
service can be hoped for until the
holding of a public Office shall be con
sidered as comforting honor upon the
possessor, and the officeholder be an
honor to the people he represents and
serves. This, it is believed, can only
be brought about by the payment OF
such salaries as will draw into the pub
lie service, from the more lucrative
pursuits of private life, competent and
honest men, every way fit for and
worthy of places of honor and trust"

The Tennessee code prohibits the
sale of spirituous liquors on Sunday.
Under this law many Nashville beer
sellers were indicted and fined by the
Criminal Court in Nashville. A test
case, Weitmuller, VS.. The State, was
argued on an appeal in the Supreme
Court several days ago. Judge Rich
ardson rendered decision on Satur-
day, stating there is difference be-
tween spirtuous and malt liquors, and
declaring that the statute did not pro
hibt the sale Of wine and beer, they
being fermented liquors.

pectfully of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington; but the Capt.
tai prints an item Of information re-
garding the present Commissioner
which is calculated,to impress one with
favorable opinion Of that officials

sioner, in addition to pocketing his
own salary, has appointed one Of his

another at 81, 900. He also occupies

Progressive Democracy u

We confess that we do not like the
term "ProgreSSice Democracy" which
we find used so much at the present
time. We are among those who be-
lieye that true Democracy is not pro-
gressive, and its innate principles are
such as need no change. They in
themselves comprehend all that the
word Democratic can mean, when car
ried out to its full and complete def
milton, According to Webster's Die
tionary Democracy is ga government,
By and for the people" which Of course
means equal rights for all-individuals,
States, etc. So when we talk about 4
"ProWeSSioe" Democracy as y thing
seperate from the old time-honored
Democratic party, which was organic
ed by Thomas Jefferson and other
founders Of our national government,
we dishonor their names and disgrace
the record and memories of those dis
tinguished" Democratic citizens who
sustained Democratic principles in the
government until our party was broken
up by unnecessary divisions.
1t is the "New Departure move
ment that has reduced the Democratic
party from a powerful dominant party
to the..weak, unpopular organization it
now is. We trust therefore that the
members and leaders Of the Democrat
ic party will from hencetorth leave all
unnatural coalitions alone and also all
"New Departure" schemes to them
selves, These have proved unpopular
with the people, and have been over
whelmingly rebuked at the ballot box.
If our Democratic party wishes for old
fashion victories let us return to origi-
nal principles and we are sure to gain
them.

A Washington dispatch Of Dec.
18th, reads thus AT ten o'clock this
morning the House Committee on Com
merce held a special meeting to listen
to the arguments Of Col. Trolel, presi-
dent Of the Atlantic and Great West
ern Cannal Company and Hon. w. P.
Price of Georgia in favor of the pas
sage of a bill to promote the construc-
ton of said cannal. This is the pro-
ject to which the President referred in
his last annual message. 1t is estimat-
ed the execution of the project will re
quire an outlay Of seventeen million
dollars, and the company desire Gov
eminent endorsement of bonds to that
amount. This is called a new scheme
for enriching individuals at the Public
expense.

General Creswell

Postmaster General Creswell
seems to think that the item of expen.
siveness is the only one that the pub
lie dislikes in his monopoly telegraph
scheme. In pursuance of this notable
idea, he has been mraigning Mr.. VIM.
Orion with great bitterness, and max,
ing an unreasonable fuss and fury
regarding the reliability of Mr. Ortons
testimony as to the expense of tele-
graphy. The Postmaster.General is
AS vide Of the mark as usual. 1t
makes little difference to the public
whether his postal telegraphy would
create deficit of one hundred thou
sand dollars per annum So sure are
the people that the contemplated job
would be attended by an enormous
pecuniary loss to every one not per-
sonally interested in it, that nothing
that the future might bring forth, in
the way of debit accounts, could pro
ducc much surprise, The objection
to the scheme consists, not merely in
its extravaganza, but in the atroclous
principle involved; and the opposition
to it is the spontaneous opposition OF
the nation to the menace Of paternal
government with all its attendent DIES
potism and corruption. Postmaster
General Creswell will not he able to
divert and annul the popular disap-
proval Of his pet measure by the sup,
erfuous, irrelevant and offensive brow
beating Of an honorable gentleman
like Mr.. Orion.

Hannah Dustin and her escape from

almost. The land at the junction OF
the Contoocook and Pemigewassett
rivers, where the brave women killed
nine Indians, and made her escape,

who propose to erect monument to
her. The position is a commanding
one, and the Northern Railroad passes

BALLoU's MAGAZINE for January
In spite of the big Boston fire, when
the printing establishment of Themes
81 Talbot was destroyed, Ballou Mag
azine has made its appearance, looking
as fresh and nice as though it had new
er met with trouble and disaster. 1t
is a little later than usual, but better
late than never, we say, where such a
universal favorite is concerned, for we
always liked the sprightly magazine,
and we find it is generally esteemed in
families for its entertaining reading
matter, giving more for fifteen cents
than any other magazine do for thirty.
We congratulate the publishers for
their pluck and energy in placing their
publication before the public so soon
after the big fire, and we hope the peo-
pie will respond by subscribing for it
all over the Union. Only $3.50 per
year, and Is cents single copies. Ad-

TO the Public.

THE PAIN-KILLER manufactured
by PERRY DAVIS & SON has won
for itself a reputation unsurpassed in
medical preparations. THE uniyerSah-
ty of the demand for the Pain-killer is
novel, interesting, and surprising
feature in the history OF this medicine.
The Pain-Killer is now regularly sold
in large aud steadily increasing guam
ties, not only to general agents in every
State and Territory Of the Union, and
every Province in British America, but
to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, Uruguay,
Peru, Chill, and other South American
States, to the Sandwich Islands, to
Cuba and other West India Islands ;
to England aud Continental Europe ;
TO Mozambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar
and other African lands to Australia
and Calcutta, Rangoon aud other places
in India. 1t has also been sent 10
China, and we doubt if there is any
foreign port or any inland city 10 Afri-
ca or Asia, which is frequented by
American and European missionaries,
travellers or treders, into which the
Pain-Killer has not been introduced.
Irse ertent Of its usefulness is anoth-
er great feature of this remarkable
medicines. 1t is not only the best
thing ever known, as everybody will
confess, for bruises, cuts, burns, &C.
but for dysentery or cholera, or any
sort Of bowel complaint, it is u remedy
unsurpassed for efficiency and rapidity
of action. In the great cities of Brit
ish Inua and the West India Islands
and other hot climates. it has become
the standard medicine for all such
complaints, as we'll as dyspepsia, liver
complaints, and other kindred disor-
ders. For coughs aud colds, canker,
asthma and rheumatic difficulties it has
been ploved by this most abundant and
convincing ar!als aud testimony, to be
an invaluable medicine. The proprie-
tors are in possession of letters from
persons of the highest character and
responsibility, testifyiug in uuequivo-
cal terms to the cures effected and the
satisfactory results produced, in an
endless variety of cases by the use Of
this great medicine. That the Pain
Killer is deserving of all its proprietors
claim for it is amply proved by the
unparalleled popularity it has attained.
1t is a sa're and effective remedy, 1t
is sold in almost every country in the
world, and is becoming more and more
popular every year. Its healing pro-
perties have been fully tested, all over
the world and it need only to be known
to be priced.
