ough Christian education. The educa-
tional influence. of society thus CONSTITUTE
ed, would be great beyond comparison
It would not only protect the tender M
terests Of those well educated IN the fam
ily, but would gather in the neglected
and half ruined from the. hedges and
highways, and train them also for use

of private and public virtue, and the ex-
emplar of that religion which. purlfles

The historian informs us that the laws
of Lycurgus and Scion were only the
public sentiments of the age in which
they lived, and that their names have
been immortalized for doing what cir
eunstances demanded. Fortunate it
would be if such state of public senti-
ment existed among US, as it would not
only create wholesome laws, but the
necessity of their execution; as would
not only compel us to feel the import

Cured. Mr., Crane thought it likely one
of. them would remain in charge of the.
office. and that he would be at once SUI
perseded. They made no intimation of
the kind, however, and. Informing Mr..
Crane that Commissioner Douglas would
know how to. :sympathize with him,
as he had. been the victim of an embez-
Element of $4,000 by deputy, when

Two,of. three months later, the first
collection district was consolidated with
the second and third, and. in October,
Mr.. Crane received notice of his appoint
ment to the enlarged district comprising
the counties on the west side of the
State, and Washington county. This
appointment was heralded and accom-
panied by eongratulatory letters from
the agents who had made the exanlina-
ton Of his books 1t had not been. So
hcited by Mr.. Crane, and it was, of
course, received by him as evidence that
he personally retained the confidence of
the department. He hesitated about sc-
eepting il, under the circumstances; bat
went on to Washington, had an inter-
view with the Commissioner, and had
no reason to complain of his treatment
at the department He was, of course,
held accountable for the amount due the
government, but was informed that
reasonable time would be allowed in
which he could make good his account.
Only after his return from Washington
did he disclose the state of the case to
any of his bondsmen, when the matter
at once became public.
These statements at present rest neces-
sarily on the authority of Mr.. Crane,
corroborated to some extent by letters
in his possession from officials of the
Revenue Department. Mr.. Crane AYERS
that his books will fully support his
statements. So far as we are aware, no
extended examination of the books of
the office has been made other than tn at
by the clerks and agents of the depart
ment, except that the last bondsmen
have examined them for the period since
last June Ito which they understand
their liability to be limited) and have
found them straight and all funds ac-
counted for.
The faction of the department; the
list of Mr.. Cranes bendsmen, and his
well-known standing in the community,
are evidences of the confidence that has
been reposed in him.
Mr.. Jewctt is understood to be in
Chicago, where is one of the Assistant
superintendent of the Pullman Car
Company. He has friends in this COM
munity, and influential relatives in other
parts of the State, who naturally refuse
to believe him guilty, except upon posi-
tive proof. If not guilty he should be
here without delay to face his accusers.

IT was noticeable fact in the or
ganization of the House of Representa-
tives that the Hon. Fernando Wood and
the Hon. Samuel S. Cox, both of New
York, were the principal candidates be-
fore the Democratic caucus for the hon
or of party endorsement for the
Speakership, and that Mr.. Wood won
the empty honor, Notwithstanding the
proceeds of the 'back-pay" were stick
ing out of his plethoric pockets, while
poor Cox lost both. These men are both
wealthy. Neither of them particularly
needed the back pay. Doubtless each
spent several times that amount to Sc
cure his reelection to the House. Mr..
Wood voted for and took the back pay,
put it into his pocket, and kept it, like a
man conscious of personal rectitude.
Mr.. Cox voted and spoke against back
pay, and returned his portion with rea-
sonable promptness to the United States
Treasury. And now, at the very first
opportunity, the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party have endorsed the back-pay
advocate, and have openly and formally
repudiated the virtuous man. This dis
elimination against Mr.. Cox and in ia
vor of Mr. Wood can not be put on the
ground of difference in ability. To say
the least, Mr.. Cox is the full equal of
Mr.. Wood in all these respects. 1t
would seem, therefore, to be clear that
the very first act of the Democratic
members of the House is an unequivocal
Endorsement of the ''back-pay grab, as
it is called. 1t is evldent.that ''it don't
pay for a leader of the Democracy to
refuse ssthe back pay. - 49,.

THEIR ''MEssEs" FIVE. AM. TWENTY YEARS
~, .s,... .,.-, AGO. .,..tt. s.s....ta. :

Ben Perley Poore, in his Boston cor
respondence, thus alludes to the above
topic: Five-and-tWenty years ago there
were seldom over fiye-and-twenty Con-
gressmen who brought their wives to
Washington and kept them there during
session. Up to about that time the Sen
ators and Representative usually lived
here in what they called illnesses. p"
From half a dozen to fifteen cengenial
spirits would take rooms at boarding
house, with the understanding that no
one else was to be admitted, and the
party thus formed family circle. In
many of these illnesses" no ladies were
tolerated, while in others the chief at
traction was the wife of some Senator
or Representative, who was virtually the
queen of the establishment. Was it to
be wondered at that so many Congress
men used to pass the evenings in eight
ing the tiger" at some of the comforta-
BILE gambling bells on the avenue, or in
carousals at the gorgeously fitted up es-
Establishments near by? Washington city
was then a very immoral city, and many
fine intellect failed to preserve the
owner from temptation.
Nowadays matters have changed.
There are to-day in Washington forty
five Senators out of seventy-two, and
one hundred and six Representatives out
of two hundred and thirty-fve, who are
accompanied by their wives and these
one hundred and fifty-one wives of Con-
gressmen exercise a potent influence.
Gambling, drunkenness, and other vices
which it is not necessary to name
here once so common among senators
and Representatives, are not now open
ly practiced, if practiced at all, by any
of them. About forty Congressman
keep house, and are benefited by the so
cial influences of home while the others
board at hotels or boarding houses,
where agreeable circles are formed
Eighteen Senators and twenty-four Re
representatives. have also here with them
daughters who go into society; others
are accompanied by female relatives or
friends, and thirty of them have chill
dren to young too go out. So the success
sors of men who used to pass their even
ings at faro bank or poker table escort
their daughters to balls, or remain at
home and frolic with their children. All
this is a decided change for the better.

CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAMS was, in his
youth, resident of Pompey, Onondaga
county, n. Y, where his parents now
reside. Having been in his early days
engaged with his father on farm, he
resolved to have an education such as
his limited means would afford. About
the age of sixteen he commenced his ed
ucation at an academy. After the COM
pletion of his course of study at the
academy he commenced the study of
law in the Office of the late Daniel Colt,
ESQ.,, at Pompey Hill. The other stu
dents at the same office were Hon. G. B.
Sedgwick and Judge Leroy Morgan of
Syracuse, and Hon. r. H. Duell, pres
ent representative in Congress from that
district
When admitted to practice he remoy-
ed to Iowa, and settled at Darlington,
when his talents brought him into no
tice, and where a vacancy occurred he
was chosen circuit judge, in which posi-
ton he distinguished himself as an able
jurist.
After remaining in Iowa some eleven
or twelve years he removed to Portland,
Oregon, and after serving as chief JUS
tice of the territory, was elected Unit
ed States Senator, and at the expiration
of his term received the appointment of
encouragement of the United States.
In politics he was democrat, until the
organization of the republican party.
Since that time he has been distin-
guished repres entative of its principles
and policy.
He was also member of the Joint
High Commission, which negotiated the
treaty of Washington. He is a self
made man, and his present success is
wholly due to his ability, energy and un-
firing industry.

Late Markets.
CHEESE.

F-f. CHEESE. s'.... .---.-
At Utica on Monday the market was
duh and. the weather cold. The offer
ings were mostly odds and ends, and
footed up only about 8, 600 boxes. Only
one sale was made. That was 1875 boxes
of October cheese at 1880. Buyers did
not seem in the least inclined to do bust
ness, and sellers were not disposed to
offer the cheese at reduced prices for
the sake of getting purchaser. Some
was sent on commission, and some was
left on commission in Utica. The sea-
son may be considered practically closed.
Next market day will probably be the
final one for 1878. 1t seems rather
"cool' to be selling cheese on the mar
ket with the mercury only eight or ten
degrees above zero.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were 40, ia
boxes, and the exports were 4, 554 boxes.
The cable was 65@6Ss. Gold closed at
1904, and the quotation for cheese was
14c. For the corresponding period last
year the receipts were IS, 607 boxes, and
the exports were $3.50 boxes. The
cable was Cos. Gold closed at 1929, and
the highest quotation for cheese was
14tc.
At Boston the receipts for the past
week have been 1891 boxes. The mar
ket sustains a little firmer tone, but
dealers buy sparingly and it is difficult
to get over 1910. for round lots of the
best factory, though we notice further
small sales at 14c. per pound. The fol
lowing are the ruling rates: New York
and Vermont, choice factory, 1904 {;
fair to good, 11@124; western factory,
choice, 13@134 common to good, 10
@124.
BUTTER.
At st. Adams the market was dull.
We quote. Common to fair, 20 to 25c;
medium to good, o5 to csc choice, 80
to 33c selections, 35 and 36c. No
cheese offered.
At Nergennes and New Haven the
transactions were quite large, the gen
eral price being % to 2Sc.
At Boston the receipts sof butter for
the week have been 8,161 packages
against 9,015 packages for the cores
ponding week last year. The demand
has been moderate, and with light re-
ceipts prices are we'll maintained. We
notice further sales of fine fall at 35 a
SIC. per h., but very little of that kind
has been received for several weeks past,
and most of the transactions have ranged
from 25 to 33c. per h., which includes
Western, New York and Vermont good
to choice straight diaries. There is a
very light supply of common butter, and
although we quote bakers at II a 1sc,
hardly anything sells under zoe. per Id.
The range has been New York and
Vermont, fine fall, per h., 80 a 81 !;
choice diaries, 31@33 common to good,
5000. Western, choice to extra, $50
80 ; fair to good, 22@25 common, 100
90. Bakers butter, 17@18. Canada,
choice fall, 30@33 summer, 26@30
