Just to think of it. The boys say now, says
the Washington Star, when they want TO know
when this or that gentleman was elected TO
the United States Senate, "What year did
Senator So-and-so buy in % That's deci-
dedly cool, but the numerous investigations
now going on give point 10 the sarcasm. The
most successful aspirants to Senatorial honors
are those who have the heaviest purses. 1t is
said that the new Senator from Oregon owes
his election 10 railroads md gold mines The
election Of the Senator from Nevada, in the
place Of Nye, cost, it is said $3.50, 0C0. All
know how Patterson, Of South Carolina, was
elected-by buying up the colored Legislature
of his own State. That is what colored
member stated, and said he was sorry II was
true. From the investigation now going on.
it is in proof, that from 5 900 to 81, 500 per
head was paid TO secure the election Of Cad-
WELL the Senator from Kansas, and Senator
Clayton, Of Arkansas, is charged with having
comprised his election in a similar manner
This statement, if the half be true, is bad
enough, and the American Senate owes It to
the country 10 purge itselfof such unworthy
members not by whitewashing committees
but BY exposure. Let us have one body pure,
Mt least. The Credit Moblier investigation re-
fleets no credit upon the members of Congress
who were engaged in that gigantic specula-
ton. The details which come TO Us constantly
remind us Of the accusations made by de
Toc1ueyille against the French government, in
the last wears of the reign of Louis PhilIippe
when he predicted The fate of the monarchy,
and declared that "public functionaries had
no other object then but the augmentation of
their private fortunes, and that consequently
liberty could not be maintained, and anarchy
or despotism must cnsue," sooner or later
The latter came, and the people sought refuge
under the strong arm of power. The people
may well become alarmed for their liberties
when yenality is the order of the day.

The re-inanguration Of President Grant to-
morrow win be accompanied by the most
interesting ceremonies and pageants ever
witnessed in connection with an affair of the
Kind. The attendance will be larger and the
displays vastly more brilliant than ever before.
General Grant has had seventeen predecessors
in the Presidential chair. Since the adoption
of the Constitution there have been twenty-one
Presidential terms; but seventeen men have
served them out Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe and jackson each filed two
terms, and with the exception of Washington
all Of them lived for many years after they
had retired from Office. The only ex-Presidents
now living are Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. johnson.
No President has served out second term since
jackson.

Justice to the ,Districf.

The appropriations made by Congress to-day
for District improvements amount to the lib
eral sam of nearly two and quarter millions
OF dollars. We congratulate our citizens gen.
orally on this auspicious result II fully estab-
fishes the principle that the general govern
ment shall bear its due proportion of the ex-
pense of making Washington " lat it should be
as the capital OF the nation. In this
way the action Of Congress is most
encouraging in regard to the future of the city
Grand as has been the work of improvement
here since the District government took control
il is but the commencement of the plan that
shall result in making Washington fully worthy
of the nation, and entitled to rank amongst the
first capitals of the world. The people of WASH
ington Withhold in deserved regard the energetic,
public spirited men who iabored so sturdily and
untiringly to secure this act of justice to the
District from Congress, and viii allot a
proper measure of odium to the mar
plots and rniscreants who, ia a spirit of re-
yenge, and to carry out their own selfish pur-
poses, have sought to defeat these appropria-
tons, and blacken the characters of all who
advocated them.

The Attacks Guard have declined to attend
the Presidential Inauguration, not having been
able TO make satisfactory terms for transporta-
tion.-RieAmond Wing.
We doubt very much whether this policy on
the lines Of travel to Washington, dictated by
Mr.. John W. Garrett. will prove very profitable
TO the companies in the long run. 1t does not
need to be demonstrated at this late day that
large excursion parties can be carried over rail-
roads at one half the fare charged ordinarily
and still leave handsome profit. When, rs in
the above case, the excursionists are stopped by
the greed Of the company, the latter not only
lose this profit, but the good will of large por-
ton of the travelling public. Washingtonians
should remember the men who are responsible
for throwing impediments in the way OF travel
TO this city az this time.

FTHE JUDGMENT OF THE PUBLIC.

Doctors disagree. Each school Of medicine has its
own theories AMI these theories differ widely il
Is clear that few, If any of them, be right But
II medical men cannot agree upon anv theory or
system OF practice, the public find no difficulty tn
agreeing as 10 notorious matters Of fact For
instance, they have observed for many years that
Hostetters stomach Bitters uniformly cure dyspep-
STA, constipation, rheumatism, biIiOusness nervous
debility and many other diseases which the prescrip-
tions OF the pharmacopeia do not and cannot cure;
and they know, therefore, that there can be no mis-
take about 1t. On this point they are rm and posi-
tive. They take their stand on incontrovertible
facts, and they state to another verbally, and
sometimes BY letter, what they know about reliev-
ing and preventing sickness with the standard
vegetable tonic and Alternative of America
Here, then, the inv aid has q guarantee Of value
that can be relied upon, viz: the sober judgment of
the public. After twenty years Of observation and
reflection, the American people pronounce Hostel
ters Bitters the best invigorating and regulating
medicine at their command, and give evidence of the
faith that is in them by purchasing of it than
Of any other advertised medicine manufactured on
this continent. large number Of physicians, too,
however much they may differ other points i'm

Btters as q tonic and alternative and recommend il

The President and Cabinet officers at the
meeting held last Friday, discussed at considera-
ble length the state of affairs in Louisiana and
the indisposition manifested by Congress to re-
heve the Executive OF the responsibility of deal
ing with this matter. The rejection of the bill
to authorize new election, without proposing
sny substitute, gives this whole question in
creased gravity, as it practically legalizes the
Kellogg government There was no policy
definitely fixed, as events must in a great meas
ure determine the action of the President In
Official circles here there is no apprehension of
collision between the opposing factions i'm
New Orleans. But even if such an unfortunate
occurrence takes place, it is believed that Gen.
Emory has sufficient force at his command to
preserve the peace. One company Of the It'll
cavalry, which was short time ago ordered to
Dakota, has been directed to remain in New
Orleans for three weeks longer. No new in
structions have been issued to Gen. Emery.
The instructions issued to him last fall, when it
was expected that a collision would take place
between the political factions in New Orleans,
are deemed sufficient to meet any exiyencies
that may arise from the present situation of af-
fairs in that city.

A word to our hotel and boarding house
keepers, restaurateurs, livery stable men and
dealers generally. Don't kill the goose that lays
the golden eggs by overcharging strangers who
come TO see the Inauguration. Let all who come
carry away favorable impressions of the capital
of the country, aud the fair dealing of Its citi-
zens. We do not believe that there are In our
city many individuals of the classes above
named who would practice extortion even with
such an excuse to raise prices as the unusual
demands upon their resources by the immense
crowd now on a visit to the Federal metropolis
If there are any weak brothers, however, to
them We say, forbear. The good name of our
city is at stake. Treat strangers in such way
that they will be glad TO come again on holiday
occasion and induce their friends to come also
Many who, in days gone by, came to see our
city, afterwards made their homes with us, and
among them are to-day some of our most
worthy and enterprising citizens. The slight
Iecuniary benefit which would result from
taking advantage of strangers now would in
the end prove a loss instead of a gain. Resist
ance of the temptation will bring realand per-
manent advantages Washington is growing
more attractive TO visitors every year and bids
fair to become the social and literary center, as
well as the political capital, of the country Its
progress in these directions should be promoted
and not impeded by all who have the good of
the city at heart.
