Our article on "Tho Situation, -
printed few weeks ago. has been the
cause Of wOeful Consideration among
tue Foreman Stevenson. Republicans ;
aud Tue DEMOCRAT has been taking its
full share Of abuse, sipcc then. Jadg.
ing us by themselves, the Republican
editors supposed that We had not jus.
tice enough about US to commend the
good qualities Of an opponent; aud di.
Fectly We propose 10 "rrndcr unto
Caesar that which is Cnsar's." and
give any public official credit for all
that be may do that is right, they
straightway ay into a passion. and
abuse US. This is sad-vory sad, Tut
then We never did print a paper that
satisfied these gentry. They always
grOwl at US; yea, they grumblc IN.

little difficulty in the family. VIC shall

mics TO profit thereby.

The Legislature.

Our Legislature rcasscmbles at
Charleston on tue Goth inst, aud II is
to be hoped that we shall have profit
able srssion-on from which the State
will receive some lasting benefit.
0uc thing We think they should
and hope they will consider, and that
is, the importance Of having all tran.
sacliOns Of a fiscal nature, pertaining
to the county, published in one or
more newspapers published in the
county. Also delinquent lists of lands
10 be sold, shcriifs sales, aud contracts
and specifications Of county work to be
done. We believe m act Of this kind
would be Of great benefit to tho several
counties Of tho State, and woul be
approved by a largo majority Of the
taxpayers, A few little written mott
ccs posted are but seldom read, and
impart but little information to the
general public, aud We often see prop.
erty sacrificed simply for tue want Of
more general information. VS. believe
such Law to be public necessity and
we find that nearly every other State
10 the Onion bus such q law upon its
statute books.
Another thing We desire is, that the
liquor law passed last winter may be
SO amended that restrictions may Ie
placed upon tho mauy dram shops
started up throughout tho country in
tue shape of drug stores. II this can
DO done, and officers arc elected who
will Cnforrc the laws, we shall lock for
more virtue aud sobricty in the State.

Every year increases tho popu-
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due TO merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
It's high standard and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY on FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. Tho
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all cruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores tho capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create q new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, rs it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives tho hair q splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md, State Assaycr Of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
ccllent quality; and l consider it
the Best PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

victed by Mr.. Britton's predecessor, Mr. o. ~
Morris: but although declaring two months
after taking office that most Of tho other in
dicted persons could be convicted on the testi-
mony in his hands, Mr.. Britton has persistently
refused for year and more TO prosecute
single one of them.
And not only is it charged that thus ofhclal'
thus alleged TO have been fraudulently elected
protects the corrupt men by whom the I'M
doubted frauds were committed, but IL ~ al
legged that he has prostituted the Grand Jury,
of which the law makes him the legal adviser,
to unjust purposes of his own. We never
reached quite that depth even in this city OF
corruption. Ordered by the Court to nyesti-
gate charges published against him by me
| Chronicle newspaper, Mr.. Britton, according to
the statements of several jurors, so skilltully
conducted the investigation of himself that he
made out case on which to indict the pub
fishers. Urged in his public character as
county officer to indict former client on
charge of perjury, he threatened to have the
jury find indictments Of all witnesses who APP
| peared against his client, and did actually IN
dict three witnesses on the alleged testimony
of others who now swear they did not appear
at all in the cases before the Grand Jury.
Familiar as we have been made with all
manner of judicial outrage in New York, this
statement really seems incredible. 1t blackens
either the character of the accused or OF those
who make the charges. A thorough investi-
cation ought low to establish the exact truth,
and give to Kings County the protection 1t Is
entitled to, or the assurance of security to Its
ballot box and the purity of its courts which

action of the court by adding anti-monopoly
iudges to its number,-in imitation OF the
packing of the United States Supreme Court
when it was desired to affirm the constitu-
tiouality of the Legal-Tender law. Agitation
of this sort is extremely mischlevOus. III the
laws are defective the proper remedy is not
to overturn the court which points out their
defects, but TO make new laws. Ii may DC

an absolute limit of rates, or to punish ais

no right TO demand What constitutes IN
"iusticer or "extortion" should perhaps be
settled by a board of competent Railroad
Commissioners.
We have no confidence that either courts
commissioners, or legislatures can permanently
adjust on an equitable basis the relations
between producers and these rich and power
full CORPORATIONS, which are steadily growing
richer and stronger But there is chance
that in the present case the railroads may
have oyerreached themselves. The New-Eh'
gland manufacturers are taking alarm at Tue
present condition OF Western industry. Ihey
have discovered that the grain country buys
less and less at the East. The farmers are
forced to ecOnOmize more strictly. They are
forced also to turn their attention to home
manufactures. If we cannot afford to send
our wheat to Boston and New-York, they
say, to buy cotton stuffs, and imported
goods, and Yankee leather, we must make our
own textile fabrics, our own boots and shoes,
and oar own tools eff the farmers OF the
"West cannot live by produce raising" says
The Boston Journal of Commerce, "they will
manufacture for themselves" eff our mer-
chants desire to retain their Western trade
they must aid the West to obtain facilities
TO reach the seaboardn The railroads then
have been undermining their own business
When they find that their custom is slipping
away from them, that the West is weaving
its own wool, and the South is spinning ITS
own cotton. they will discover that their own
avarice has cut away their income.

JUDICIAL CORRUPTION IN BROOKLYN.
1t is not pleasant story which the Com
mittee of Fiftv of Brooklyn presents in its
second series of charges against District-At-
torney Britton. We have of Late had strange
proofs of gross official corruption in this city,
and have punished some of the 0ffenders-at
least we have expelled them from place and
deprived them of the power to commit other
wrongs. But if the statements of the Com
mittee of Fifty are true, or even in
part true, Brooklyn justice has worse
enemy in her District-Attorney than New-York
had in McCunn CardozO, and Barnard COM
bined. We have no means of knowing if all
that the Fifty allege against Mr.. Britton be
true or false, and we do not mean to assert
that he is guilty. But his ease has now passed
beyond the province of mere newspaper and
legal discussion. The allegations are SO seri-
GUS, the accusers are such prominent and re-
spectacle citizens the accused is SO response
bic an officer, with such unlimited power for
mischief if he be corrupt as charged, and the
consequences of his malfeasance to the county
which he represents are so grave and dishon-
orable, that Gov. Dix cannot, in justice to Mr..
Britton on the one hand, and to the Commit
tee and the public of Kings County at large
on the other, refuse longer to order the in
vestigation which is asked for.
The volumnOus documents which the Com
mittee has submitted, unaccompanied as they
are by summary of the case, really serve to
conceal rather than to make clear their
startling allegations. In effect, if not in so
many words, they promise to establish, upon
ample and undeniable proof, a state of affairs
in Kings County which may web cause alarm
to its honest citizens. AT the election OF 1871,
according to this story, over eleven thousand
fraudulent votes were cast, and among the
officers thus illegally returned was the accused
District-Attorney. The Committee not only
intimates that he refuses to investi-
gate these frauds for fear of showing
his own election to have been false, but the
impression is conveyed by the perusal of the
documents now submitted that the Committee
means to show that he was cognizant of the
frauds at the time Of their commission, or ut
least before he was sworn into office month
later. Thirty officials who perpetrated these
frauds were indicted, and four or five CON

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM h SUCCESS
Ii is a success. Persons of a skeptical turn
have doubted it, its enemies have reviled it,
its best friends have sometimes lacked entire
confidence but let us sing 10 Triumphe, the
Civil Service Reform is complete and perfect
success. There has been nothing like it since
.Jethro suggested to his son-in-law the delega-
ton of his judicial powers, and Moses set up
through all the tribes a civil service examina-
ton to discover who were proper men to be
Judges of the inferior courts. There was 30
much questioning about this matter Of exam
nations that even now, when the echoes OF
Marshal Sharpe's examination in decimal frac-
lions have hardly died away in the air, good,
honest well-to-do people are wondering
whether we shall get better officers after the
thorough examination ordered by the Com
mission. We are too much given to doubling.
Let us confess it. For here now, with all our
doubts upon us, comes intelligence, like light
ming from clear sky, that clears away every
thing, and sets up the reform as an estab-
lished, indlsputable success.
