The prominent feature IN the
recent astonishing disclosures of
CopgressionM immortality is that
the revelation chiefly implicate
the foremost men of the Republl-
can party. There are black sheep
at Washington whom one would
think any exposures would touch
first, but the popularity of the
scandals of the day is thas the
black sheep ~ made to appear
purity itself by the side OF those
who are the thrice-choseu leaders
of the block. The o. ost immacu-

utter and dismal seems the fall.
FThe scrub oaks are as green as
ever,but the tall pines and bay
tree are shattered and blasted by
the stroke. tt7
In all this we trace peculiar
retribation. Frankenstein was
the first to suffer at the hand ofthe
fmonster he had 'f~abricated, and
the fall of Messrs Wilson and
Harlan and Colfax and Patterson
is into the pit they themselves
dug. They L the victims of
terDptationsthey have done more
than any other men in America
to bring into existanee. They
preached the gospel of subsidy
and by the temptations of the

:. The argument is beginning to
crop out that the steady increase

reelection has been eceasion-

reduced too much, and we may
soon expect to find the organs
grinding to the tune that in order

The Newark Adcocate says:
The christian church is now
being subjected to uany jeers
in consequence of the detected
srotteness of suudry persons who
have beeu boastfully held up IS
model "chri5tian Statement"
Prominent among those are Vice
President Colfa1, Henry Wilson,
Senator Pomeroy, Rev. Gen
Garfield, &c. The boast about
particular mems .piety is genef-
ally confined to IA side in
politicts, and hence the jeers on
the present OCCASION are all if
one direc tor. In the recent
campaignwe heard of a Newark
munster expressing fears that
one of his church members was
endangering his purity by leaving
his old party associates aud CO.
operating with Democrats. The
probing to which the Credit No
bilier corruption has been sub
during the month past,
has often recalled the good
minister's fears to our memory.
Possibly he thinks it better to
stick by the MobiIier men than
to fraternize with such untainted
wretehes as Seymour, rrumbull,
Hendricks, Thurman, &c.

James Brooks, of NewiYork has

that he is found to be IN this

which her pet has luxuriant coat, on
one side just where the neck joins the
shoulders, was twisted and knottdd and
raised up in a sort of lump Upon
examination she found that a rat bad
made nest in the wool of the sheep, and
when she pulled the place it stuck its
head out and looked at her as com
placently as you please. The rat was so
tame that it was easily caught and dis
patched. In the evening. when the sheep
was put back in the stable. Miss Lizzie
noticed that it went all around looking

though 1t were in search of something
showing that friendly relationship

The Liability Of Postmasters.

A very important decision has recent
ly been made at the Postoffce Depart
ment. The Postmaster General has de
cided that all Postmasters are liable to
the Government for the value Of all re
.is;ered letters lost in their Offices This
principle, which has been long maiutaiu
ed with respect to minor officers, has nev
er been applied to Offices where any con.
considerable number of letters has been
registered 1t is now claimed that the
bond oi Postuasters covers such case Of
loss. 1t is insisted by those who oppose
this ruling that the bond does not cover
such cases that inasmuch as the Govern
ment disclaims all liability for the loss OF
such letters, even that of an ordinary
common carrier, the Postmaster is by no
means liable TO the Government for a loss
which the Government does not sustain
There is eminent legal authority against
the liability OF Postmasters for such loss
he definite establishment Of such prin
ciple will render the responsibility uuder
Postmasters bonds much gaeater than
has been supposed.
