Rogues to the Rear-The PeO-

On Tuesday the 25th uit., the Re
publicans of TrumbulI county held
their convention at Warren to nom
mate candidate tor delegate to the
Constitutional Convention, and NOM
mated Hon. q. NJ. Tuttle for the po-
sition. But The delegates to that con-
vsniion coming direct from the body
of the people had other and more i'm
portant business TO transact. a reso-
luton was adopted. with but two dis
sentiDg votes, condemning Garfield
for his vote for the salary grab, and
asking him to Immediately resign his
seat in Congress, a request no one
supposes for moment he will heed.
The attempt TO whitewash the action
of Garfield, on the part of certain par
ty leaders, don't seem TO win with the
people. They are unable. TO nnder-
stand why, if he had the power TO de-
feat the stnpendous plunder and fail
ed 10 nse it, he is not the most gnilty
party in the whole matter; and If his
vote would not have defeated the
measure, they fail to comprehend why
he did not entirely wash his
hands fthe iniquity by continuing
to vote. according to his convictions,
against the villainous plunder..

Don't Like 1T.

The New Z ork Iaadependent, a re-
figions paper, of d deeided Radical ten
dencles, thus talks out about the ap-
pointment of brother-in-law Casey:
Hsl The nomination of j. f. Casey, the
brother-in-law of the President, TO
the collectOrsirip at the Port of New
Orleans, and his confirmation, by The
Senate, We can regard in no other
light than as u disgrace to the pepnb=
iican parity. He ought long since to
have been removed from the Office to
which he is now, reappainted. II
there were any doubt on this, point,
his nnwarraptable course in respect
to The Louisiana difficulties, like that
of Judge Dnrell, proves him utterly
nnfit to hold the office. The Presi-
dent would have been wise in dis
pepsing with such an unworthy in.
cumbent, and the Sepatei equally wise,
in summarily. rejecting his nnmina-
ton. The great objeet of the Civil
Service ruies is TO keep such men out
OF office. A political iactionist, an in,
termeddler with State affairs, and an
official corruptionist-such a man IN
Federal Office. by the appointment of
the President, IS an offensive spec
tacle TO the moral sense of fhe people.

airy. This is a place always reserved
in every army for officers OF distinc-

in travel and amusement in Europe
and in this country. 1t was recently
announced with some, parade in the
Administration papers that he was to
be ordered to has regiment, and to en-
ter at once upon active service. But
that he has received this sudden and
undeseryed promotion to q post which
could be properly bestowed only up
on one of the many veterans in the
army, the appointment will make a
painful and injurious impression up

who, ,after.the Rebellion ended, sus-
tanned a five days battle at. Beechef's
Island with the Indians, in which he
was repeatedly wounded, and in which
he won great honor for his extraordi-
nary courage and capacity. Such an
officer is to be sent away to make
room for q youth who has positively
nothing to recommend him but his
name. 1t really seems as if the Pres

Whenever legislators desire to do a

has now become popular for them to

Of human being. The following
statistics from the census of 1870
prove it. .......'st.,.,..st -
The total production of manufac-
lures in Massachusetts, in 1870 was
$553, 81, ,56S. The cost of this manu-
factured production was as follows.

This last amount was the dividend on
a total Invested capital of S93I .677. .S62,
or an average interest OF within frac-
tion OF 431ss 4311s per cent. On the other
hand, there were employed in Massa-
chusetts in 1870 q total number of
279. $50 hands, who received $11S, ,05f,
$50 wages, or as near as possible $422.-

that in the philanthropic State of
Massachusetts the aiindal, dividends
earned by aristocratic $57le cash, are,
$422. and the annual wages earned
