own protection, and it is to that end that their
so-called investigation is made with closed
doors. This will not do! All the world
knows that the Ways and Means Committee is
suspected above all others of corruption in this
very subsidy business, and Star Chamber
inquiry will not satisfy the people. Although
the session is near its close we must have full
exposure of the iniquity, and the money taken
dishonesty out of the public Treasury must be
withheld from the company. 1t is time that
the people should be protected against the
avarice of this magnificent fraud, and it is only
o proper retribution that the company should
be made to lose the money it has invested in
debauching Congress. Let us have full and
open investigation, and let every honest man
in Congress insist upon the repeal of legisla-
ton secured by bribery and corruption. Pro-
duce the accounts and minutes of the Pacific
Mail corporation and the books of the Ser
geant-at-Arms!
In the meantime it will be well for the d.
rectors Of the Pacific Mail Company to bear
in mind that they are all personally liable for
any loss that may be incurred through the
improper or illegal action of their officers,
and it will be well also for the stockholders Of
both the Panama Railroad and the Pacific
Mail to look to their securities. Have they
reflected how long it is since thorough ex-
animation of the securities has been NADER
As oil sorts of rumors ore flying about the
street, and as it is notorious that the high
officials of Pacific Mail are badly chit by the
bursting of the bubble, little prudence on
the part of the directors and the stockholders
may not be out Of place. ae

L
as he does in his Message, that he is extremely
anxious to avoid any appearance of undue in
reference in State affairs; but words amount
to nothing when the action is so different
The greatest tyrants often talk loudly of
liberty while they are destroying it insidi-
ously. Nothing was better established or
more sacred in our system of government up
to the time of the war, when the republican
party came into power, than the non-intsr-
ference with State affairs by the federal gov
eminent. The very basis of American free
dom was local self-government through the
municipalities and States. In fact, the germ
Of our liberty was found in the municipal gov
ernments Of England, though it grew and be-
came much enlarged on the congenih soil of
America. Unfortunately our shallow and
time-serving politicians and tyro Presidents
have lost sight of that and are going
as fast as possible to centralized des-
potism. The Enforcement oct referred
to, in the hands of narrow-minded or
sham statesmen, goes far to destroy
the foundation of American liberty. II fed
eral judge on any pretext from ignorance or
to serve partisan political purposes, can set
aside ON election in Louisiana, why not in New
York or Massachusetts? The pretence of car
rying out the Enforcement act of Congress
could be used in one State o. we'll as another.
Only think how monstrous it is that one man
can subvert the machinery Of government, de-
feat the will of the people and throw State
into anarchy! Have our liberties no better
foundation than the caprice or partisan preju-
dice Of one federal officer?
There appears to be o Pandora box Of trouble
in this Enforcement act The time might
come when on aspiring tyrant could use 1t as
pretext to place large port,srn OF the coun-
try under military authority. It is easy to ..,

THE origin of the expression, Print
er's Devil is said to be as follows :
When Aldus Manutius set up his bust
ness as a printer in Venice, he came in
possession of a little negro boy. This
boy was known all over the city as the
little black DEVIL" who assisted the
mysterious bibliofactor and some of the
most ignorant people believed him to be
none other than the en- bodiment Of Satan,
who helped Aldus in the prosecution OF
his profession. One day, Manutius desir-
ing to dispel this strange hallucination
by publicity, displayed this young imp
to the poorer classes. Upon this occas-
ion he made this short but characteristic
speech: "Be it known to Venice that l,
Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy
Church and Doge, have this day made
public exposure of the Printers Devil
All those who think be is not flesh and
blood may come and pinch him"
