THE Rev. Mr.. Newman, Chaplain to the
Senate, has received the appointment as
Inspector Of Consulates," at a salary of
$1,000 per year. This gives the reverend
politician chance to go around the world
al Government expense. But, not content
with that, he has procured the appointment
Of NJ. F. Newman as his chief clerk with a
salary Of $1,000 per year. N. +. Newman
cans Mary Frances Newman, and she is
the reverend gentleman's wife. The Buffalo
Courier calls upon the Methodist Church
to expel Newman and his wife from the
church as "genteel pickpockets." That
judgment is rather severe, but Mr.. New
man has cut into the fat pretty well. There
was time when such conduct would not
have been tolerated in either church or
state, but it was before Repubicanism, So

HOW NOT TO nnIT.

Several members of Congress, who will
rot keep their share of the bsck-pay steal
in their own pockets, are busy in inventing
excuses for disposing of it in some way
other than surrendering it to the people of
the United States through the Treasury
Department. Mr.. Hoar, Of Massachusetts,
has given his share of the swsg TO the
schools in bis town. Mr.. Corbett, of Ore
gon, has given his share to the Washington
Monument. Mr.. Roosevelt, of New York,
has given his to the Board of Education in
The city ofNew York, to establish from the
interest on the same prizes for proficiency
among the pupils Of the schools. Mr..
Wells, of Missouri, has turned his over to
the orphan asylums Of st. Louis-one-balf
to the Catholic institutions and one-half TO
the Protestant. And now comes Senator
Morrill,, of Vermont, who has written let
ter to the Treasurer of that State, inclosing
$4,340.S6, the amount of bis back pay, with
a request that it be spilled 10 the reduction
of the State debt.

NATIONAL HIGHWAHs

Judging from what we see in our ex-
change papers, the agricultural mind of the
West is in doubt whether the Federal Gov
eminent had better purchase and control
all the railways in the United States, opera
ting them in the interests of the people, or
build new iron ways uniting the West with
the Atlantic ports in New England, New
York and south to Savannah. The judg-
ment of the West is decided on having pub
lie iron roads 70 facilitate all needful inter-
course between the sovereign people
who own a little world of their
OWL. The private roads of monopo-
lies must become public institutions,
say Western men, or nothing. 1t has
been objected, that to put such system OF
high ways in the hands of the national gov
eminent would tend TO Capitalization and a
monarchy; but, in answer to this, an Illinois
correspondent Of the Rural Ne,o Yorker
afirms that Gas matters now stand, we
have a monarchy within a republic. a ball
dozen men absolutely control the destinies
of American farmers" 1t is argued that,
'sooner or later, the national government
will Lave 10 take hold Of this subject, and
emancipate the producers from their serf-
DOM"
Judging the value of public highways BY
the light of history for twenty-five hun
bred years, OF since the Romans began TO
construct good roads, it is not difficult to
see the necessity of making, in onr time,
steel ways for Ike public convenience.
What public road shall cost, or of what
material it shall be made, are subordinate
questions. In lsrge majority of nations,
such works, including modern railways, are
constructed aud held by governments. In
this country the people through the ballot
box control governments; but they do
not elect railroad directors, and regulate
the transportation Of persons and property.
Without public iron roads, on which to
travel, they feel this monopoly to be dan
gerous invasion of their rights of sovereign
ty. That they will fight for absolute SOW
ereignty, there can be no question; nor can
there be doubt how the fight will end.
But instead of buying some 10000 miles
of railways now in operation, the people
should instruct Congress to open a few
highways through the country where they
are most needed, as public thoroughfsres.
Cheaper and better roads can now
b. built than formerly, and that
is what should . be done. The
American mind has more work to do now
as matter of self preservation than in by
gone generations. Money is not only king,
but very arbitrary ard exactiDg monarch,
with very little brains. When Jay Gould,
as President of the Erie Railway, sent
thousands of dollars into different counties
of New York to secure the nomination and
election of bis tools to the Legislative of
that State, to rob the people of the State
and Of the West, be displayed the highest
attainments of his class. Their wisdom
consists in stealing largely and then make a
nominal division of the plum der with all
onfederates.

HOW is THIS?

In reference to lecture to be delivered
by Gen. Pendleton, the Mobile Register
says: "Perhsps the most curious poiut Of
all will be Gen. Hendleton's clear and con-
else narrative of that great fight wherein
the liberties Of the South were lost-GIld
lost by james LongStreet. The story of
Longstreet's delay at Gettysburg has often
been told; the effects of that delay have
often been commented on, but only by Gen.
Pendle.on have the motives which induced
that delay been plainly and directly charged
to the recusant."
