Effect or bad Example.

The Now York Post, tho ablcst Of
tho Administration organs, thus raps
the State and National thieves over
tho knuokles:
"Thc Pennsylvania Legislature fol-
lows the example Of the Inst Congress-
Of thieves at Washington in Increas-
ing their own salaries and voting
themselves back pay. This moral
contugion will probably spread like
tho smallpox, and, like the smallpox
among material pestilenccs, so this Is
the nasticst and meanest Of moral
sicknesscs. AS among thieves there
arc different kinds who are moro or
loss manly according to tho risk they
run OF detection or Of bodily harm in
tho act, 80 that tho sncak.thicf is held
even by bis fellows to be the most de-
testable. The sneak.thief among tho
public plundercrs is tho Legislator
who votes himself back pay; its in
ventor was Benjamin i. Butler, Of
Massachusetts; the first to engage in
the business were tho members Of the
XLlld Congress. 0S giiil POI
"General Grant is not a quick-wit-
ted man, but it is marvellous that
even he did not sec how great chance
for achieving an almost unbonnded
popularity Congress gave him in rails
ing his and their own salaries. II
was simply his duty TO refuse to sign
u bill that contained provision SC
disgrnceiul and so dishonest as that
which gave gratuity Of $4,000 out
of tho United States Treasury TO the
members of a Congress just going out
of existence. Had lho refused his
sanction TO il and given notice that
he should call tho new Congress TO
gether 10 pass a new Appropriation
bill, no would havo done himself inf
mite credit. He took tho othor COURSE

who would rcappoint to Office such n
man as Collector j. f. Casey OF New
Orleans might bc fairly givor over to

break up tho Legislature; and all his

was that Casey was retained in power;
and now bc hns been again appointed
to tho position which he has so openly
and shamefully abused There ncvcr
was any pnllintion offered for Casey's

now bo found for his persistent rcten-

The State OF Ohio had at least one
honest Radical member in the last
Congress, in the person of Mr.. Ste.
venson. We take tho following ex-
tract from his speech upon the report
of the Credit Mobilor Committee.
His remarks were cut short by tho
hammer Of the Speaker Said ho:
"And well that Committee might
have been reluctant, for what vas the
charge it involved Tho vico Presi,
dent, tho Vice President elect, the
sitting Speaker of the House, the
House itself, its very existence and
organization. Ho was not DISPOSED
to blame tho Committee, when il
caught all these great leviathans Of
the great deep in It's not, that It was
not quite ablo 10 haul them all into
their tubs Ilc quoted tho testimony
of the Wilson Committee to show the
cnoimily of fraud perpctratcd on the
public and said that even this was
but part Of The great system Of fraud,
the outcropping and surface indica.
tons of the great systom Of fraud by
which there bad been turned into the
pockets Of private and official citizens
Of this country tho valuc Of two hun
drcd millions Of public land and over
sixty millions Of cash, the value OF the
land being stated in railroad circulars
to bo not less than q billion of dollars.
II was the most mammoth fraud ever
practiccd on any Government on the
face of tho earth. And how had il
been doncy Partly by legislation,
Congressional and State, and chiefly
Congressional. Tho lobby had been
brought to bear, members had been in.
tercsied, ex.mcmbers and members
elect had been interested, until there
seemed TO bo a common apprehension
among the people that an auction
room had been made Of this Legislative
hall. And certain il was that more
property had passed under yonder (tho
Spcaker's) hammer than had ever
passed under the hammer of an auc-
tioncer in all tho world, Ana how
had this been carried outY Mainly by
tho suppression Of inquiry by Con
grcss. A certain corruption train had
been laid, sweeping from Maino tc
| California, and it bad succeeded. Tell
him not that it was a failure! Itwas
the grandes: success ever achieved by
such dcmoniacal means among men

Millerites in 1S43.

A writer, giving his reminiscence
Of these enthusiasts, says: "Some
OF the societies were SO sure that
the end was at hand that they put
their individual possessions, which
were usually very slender, into
Joint stock, in imitation Of early
Christians, who had call things
common" In Oneida County, N.
v, well-to-do farmer being con-
verted to their doctrine came to
Join their church, and, on being
told of this rule, said he would
think of it awhile and pray over it.
He went away sorrowiully, for he
was very rich. At the next meet
ing he appeared, ard upon being
called upon for his answer, he said
he had received message from
Heaven, and was prepared to obey
"While engaged in prayer fol
Divine directions" said he, 81 have
had one passage of the the Bible so
powerfully impressed upon my
mind that know it is from God
and shall do as / am commanded
The brethren and sisters were il
brcathless expectation of the tre
mendous sa, ritice he was about te
make. The elder bade him be O
good courage, and declare Tho
message. And the rich man said
'"That passage which came to my
mind, and which l am resolved te
obey, was in these words, Occupy

A Touching Incident.

From the Covington (Ky.) Journal.
A short time since, in this city, a
brilliant and much admired lady,
who had been suffering for some
time with trouble of the eyes, was
led to fear speedy change for the
worse, and Immediately consulted
her physician. An examination
discovered sudden and fatal fail
ing IN the optic nerve, and the in
formation was impaired as gently
as possible, that the patient could
not retain her sight more than a
few days at most, and was liable to
be totally deprived of it at any
moment. The afflicted mother re-
turned to her home, quietly made
such arrangements as would occur
to one about to commence SO dark a
Journey OF life, and then had hel
two little children, attired in their
brightest and sweetest costumes
brought before her; and so, with
their little faces lifted to hers, and
tears gathering for some great mis-
fortune that they hardly realized
the light faded out of the mother
eyes, leaving an inetfaceable picture
Of those dearest to her on earth:
memory of bright faces that vii
console her in many a dark hour.
