The RoADs.-Our correspondent
''Progress," in his communication
on the important subject of the
public highways, lays the blame of
their wretched condition upon the
Board of Supervisors. If the
Board is not justly censurable, let
some member "rise to explain"
Probably the honorable president
could brock the force of his stric-
lures. At all events, there should
be a reform in this matter of fail
ure to work and keep the roads in
good condition, and the members of
the Board of Supervisors will add
to their popularity by giving the
subject their early attention.

THREE CENT BUTLER wants to be the

ernor OF Massachusetts. and hopes to
win by sublime audscity." After
painting portrait Of the moral obl;qui-
ties OF this man, which is terrible in its
truthful vigor and intensity, the New
York Tribune continues: 1T is such q
man that aspires to be Governor OF
Massachusetts,. Two years ago he had
the same ambition. He made such g
desperate effort for it then as extorted
the admiration Of his opponents for his
stubborness, persistency and hardihood.
But the Republicans OF Massachusetts
had not reached that level, though the
Republicans Of his district returned him
to Congress by an overwh Ginning major
ity. Since then they have seen frauds
in administration covered up, corruption
condoned, bribery winked al, PERJURY
passed over, elections carried by fraud
and convicted repeaters parioned. party
pledges repudated, maladministration
continued, promised reforms denied, in.
vestigations turned into jugglery, incom-
potency and dishonesty rewarded with
official position, and a Congress turned
pluuderers. Doubtless Mr.. Butler
thinks his time has come. We hope so
certainly. This is no straw that be

camel is already overloaded"
