The New York Tribune says that one
war made Ben. Butler a Major-General,
and an other might give him a character.
As he has reformed, we think 50 too. He
could dispose of the one he has on hands
now to the Washington boot-blacks at a
figure that will make up the amount of
back pay and, salary increase. he is 50
anxious for somebody to make him return
to the Treasury. a.l-L

Senator Ferry, of Michigan, in his
speech in the Senate, the other day, on
the financial question, said, There was
three million Of men in the United States
oat of employment" If this announces
meut is true, and we doubt it not, at least
four millions Of our population will be
reduced to want and beggary this winter
and their necessities will have to be sup
piled by the charities Of those more fortu>
nate, Unless som measure is devised to
unlock the treasure vaults Of the country.

lfessrs. Editors I'm the present
crisis Of our country,it should be the duty
of every citizen in reviewing the past po>
%litical history Of our government, to Sc
lect those important lessons afforded by
experience, and with their wholesome ad-
monitions as lights to guide his pathway
in the future shape for himself, and for
those who look to him for counsel and
advice, such q course of conduct az will
result in purging the body petite of its
corrupt officials and purifying the channels
through which the government is admins
tered. This will restore confidence upon
he part of the people; strengthen the
powers Of the government, promote the
prosperity Of the country, preserve its in
stitutions, and advance the general good
and happiness Of the people.
Hitherto the people, as a mass, have
been borne along the political current
blinded BY party hate and party prejudice
unsuspecting the dangers ahead, and en-
tertaining nothought of the destiny await,
ing them as a nation; while political as
piranti> and party leaders, forgetting their
fidelity to their country, and the duties
they owe their constituents, have perverted
their official positions in many instances,
to tho acquisition of personal and pecuni-
airy cmoluments. And thus is it that to-
day We see all over u land a blighted
atniosrhere-business stagnated, markets
dull, the people bowed down with i'm
mensc and oppressive burdens of taxation,
and a general want Of activity peryading
all the thoroughfares Of COMMERCE, while
men, entrusted with high official positions
have iR,their great zeal, to accumulate
wealth at the expense OF the national
treasury, entirely forgotten the public
good.

A CURIOUS !suit is pending in the
Supreme Court of MASSACHUSETTS, in
which the plaintifl'sues the city ofBos-
ton to recover 100000 for damages
received by being thrown out of his
sleigh, on Fulton street, in December
last, the city having allowed snow to
accumulate in the street. If he had
been thrown from vehicle other than
a sleigh, thd suit would not hnve been
a singular one. Possibly the Boston
streets were In the same condition as
our own at the same time7with little
or no snow in the middle and huge
banks thrown up on the sides by the
street railways and by the snow show
eled from the sidewalks. In such
case ''sleighing' was not unlikely to
be turned into "slayingn for both man
and BEAST Baltimore Sun.

Letter from Hon. John Ireland on Reg
istrutiOn.

SEGUIN, October Is, 1873.
Tool Persons Interested in Good Govern
ment:
II is a source Of complaint, and re-
grct, throughout the state that the
people are not registering. If the
voter has registered, no matter for
what purpose, under the present law,
he can vote. But inasmuch As all
former registrations were annulled by
the present law, there must be regis
tration since its passage. -,
II will not do to complain of this ; II
was well known that former reglstra-
tious We're fraudulent and corrupt
hence they had TO be set aside
No fee is now paid directly by the
voter for registering.
Is it possible in n free government
that man can be so indifferent to the
welfare of his country rs TO neglect SO
simple and plain q duty?
The registration laws are required by
the Constitution hence they could not
be dispensed with.
This appeal then is made not only to
the Democratic party, rs an organlHa-
ton, but to each voter personally, to
register and then so and vote. Let it
not he said that we have thrown away
a glorious victory by pure neglect w.
We have tasted the bitter fruits OF
apathy in the past.
Let us profit by experience, and have
no self-reproach on this subject.
