Another way for cOlfax's to EscaPs

1t appears Butler has been summoned TO tn
aid of COlfax. Ingenious old Ben. IL is said, sub
mitted report to the House judiciary committee
yesterday morning, that was adopted by the com
mIttee after three hours session II take
the ground that the House has no jurisdiction il
the ease OF Coliax, the offensc having been com
mitted before he was elected Vico President. II
is signed by eight members OF the committee. Ii
being privileged question, General Butler had
his report read to the House, by the Clerk, yes.
tenday, and test vote was taken which it is said
favors the report By 134 to 20. The vote it is said
shows the vote when the real question comes be-
fore the House.
This Is certainly singular way for Colfax TO es-
cape IRON censure and from impeachment by the
House. But 1t is nevertheless the most reasonable
1t is however, in effect an acknowledgement ofhis
guilt, on the part of his party friends. Colfax
stands pretty safe now. The Senate can do moth
ing with him. While the House is moi bound to
impeach him for an offence committed before be
was elected Vice-President. II Mr. Coliax &C
cepts Of this he will acknowledge himself
guilty man who fears TO face his accursers, not.
withstanding he has the ear Of three-fourths of
his judges-the Senate.
But if Mr. Colfax was no; Vice President
stands charged, Le was a member of the House
and we presume its Speaker The moral of the
case Is therefore is in nowise changed. lie fully
deserves all the punishment that could he infct.
ed for his crime.
The debate in the House, to-day, ii is hoped,
will show the true light in which such transac-
tions those which the Credit Mobilier scand dal
has developed, should be viewed. Now, that
COliax is out of the way, certainly time can be al
lowed for fair expression ofOPiniOn by the mem
beTs in regard to bribery and perjury committed
By the Congressmen charged with these offences |
What would have been the fate OF these men,
had they all been Democra;s' They would have |
been expelled at once. Brooks, Of the ablest |
men OF the House .and most popular, meets the |
fate thai should be extended to all. The Senate /
and House have both refused seats to better men;
under the rule that they were the judges Of their
own members. The rule could as well be applied
in these cases ~ ia Others.

An Enemy to Health and Happiness.

Dyspepsia not only destroys health,
but banlshes happiness from the fami
lv. A Dyspeptic is not only unhappy
himself, Int he makes all around him
unhappy. DR.. TUFTS Vegetable Liver
Pills is a certain remedy for it. They
are Il sure cure for costivenesss. Try
them.
"TIE LIFE OF THE LEsHIs THE
BLOOD"
This is an admitted fact. 1t is obvi-
Gus that when the blood becomes cor
rupt the whole system is corrupt also,
and those organs which are weaker
from functional arrangement will suf-
fer most. The large majority of fe-
male diseases proceed from this cause.
The true policy is to direct the remedy
to the source of the disease. 1t is ia
this way that Dr.. TUFTS Sarsaparilla
and Queens Delight acts. Its specific
effect is on the blood. 1t purties, vi
talizes it; expelling all distemper from
the system.
BEWARE OF CALOMEL,
and all MereutiaI Compounds. Better,
far better, endure disease than tamper
with this mineral poison, no matter
how ea'etully prepared. Its extensive
use has already proven the cause OF
great and distressing injury. DIR.
Tutt's Liver Pills can be taken at all
times with the most perfect safety aud
without diet.

GOLDEN WORDs.-The habit of look
ing on the bright side is Invaluable.
Men and women who are evernore
reckoning up what they want rather
than what they have counting the
difficulties in the way instead of con-
irving means to overcome them-are
almost certain to live on corn bread
fat pork and salt fish and sink to I'M
marked graves. The world is sure to
smile upon man who seems to be snc-
cesSful; but let him go about with a
crest fallen air, and the very dogs IN
the street will set npon him. We must
al have losses. Late trosts will nip
the fruit in the bud, banks will break
investments prove worthless, valuable
horses die, china vases break but all
these calamiIies do not come together.
The wise course to rursne-wheB one
plan fails, is to form another; when one
prop is Knocked from under MS, to fill
its place with a substitute. and ever
more count what is left rather than
what is taken. When the final rcck
"nins is made, if 1t appears that We
have not lost. the consciouSn' SIS of in
territorial rectitude, if we have kept
charity towards all II en-; #, by the Va
rious di>ci plinr of liI,. wc have been
freed from fnllies and confirmed in vir-
tue, whatever we have lost. the great
balance sheet will he in our favor.

THE DISPOSITION OF TEACHERS, AND
THEIR DUTY.

Teachers should have kind but firm dsposi-
ton, and should not be in hurry to use the rod
or scold. They should in no case get angry or
lose patience. They should go into their respec-
tive school houses with smile on their faces,
be accompanied with it on the play ground, and
even when away from the school. They should
know all about the manner and form of reading,
be able to spell all words in common use, the
why's and wherefores Of arithmetical problems,
and their general information should be as extern
siye as possible, that their instructions may by
no means be confined to the text books, but
to general subjects of practical information ap-
plicable as far as possible to everyday life; for
this purpose short time should be devoted each
day. Teachers should put on no dignfed airs,
especially while among their pupils, nor at any
time would we recommend it, the use Of profane
language in the slightest degree should be alb
hored, telling fbs is intolerable and must not be
allowed; drinking Intoxicating liquors and using
