"The President Of the Council had alluded to

with him in this remark. He believed the llis-
trict was really In better financial condition

The language which ia here oficially used
has been employed all along by the Ring
to conciliate favor at Washington and to
arrest opposition. Aud it has had its effect
upon people shamefully pluudcred and
without any hope of relief except through
Congress. aud there the avenues have
been heretofore closed against them by
packed committees, owned by aud opcrat-
ing in the interests of the Ring
when the people saw four or Ave mil
lions voted to these thieves last winter,
against all reason and the rcmonstranro Of
some of the best men in the Senate and
the House OF Representatives., it was not
unreasonable that they should attach
weight to their assurances that the cnor-
nous debt which was every day assuming
larger proportions before their eyes would
bc assumed 10y Congress If they would only
keep quiet.
This method Of siloncing hostility gained
by degrees. Many yielded because they
were powcrless 10 resist, and were men,
aced also with the prescription of the Adj
muistration If they ventured to dcnounce
the Ring. The terrorism Mt Washington,
meanly and cruelty exercised through all
the agencies of Office and power, exceeds
belief. This serves TO explain In part why,
without single newspaper to defend
their interests, ana with every press a de-
pendent AMI willing minIon of the Ring,
the people have been apparently passive
under scandalous wrongs. They have not
spoken, simply because they had no voice
or means OF utte1ncc.
With consummate audaoity, and in pres
cucc Of the exposures with which the un-
shackled press is ringing everywhere, thi:

II il remarkable how rapidly people are
finding their true level in these days Of start
ling disclosures and detected frauds. A con-
spicuous Illustration Of this Is afforded in
the general feeling Of intense hostility which
exists among tho people OF California at this
time against AARON 4. SARGENT, who was sent
by the Central Pacific Credit Mobilicr to repre-
sent that institution IN the United states Senate.
It was we'll known that SARGENT, who is per-

his high position altogether to tho influence Of
the Central Pacific Ring, which has for a long
time controlled the Republican organization In
California; and soon after his election to tho
Senate some Of his constituents burned him ia
eni4y In san Francisco. Bat still the fictitious
importance given him by his senatorial charac-
ter led Callfornlans generally to regard him as
an able man who IN spito Of his railroad anilia-
tons would represent the State crelitably In
Washington. His indecent violations Of pro-
pnety however, in carrying ont the behcsts OF
his masters OF the Central Pacific Ring during
the late political canvass havo at last aroused a
manifestation OF popular wrath which must make
him quail. lie Ia to-day FAR moro unpopular In
California than any Of tho men in whose service
he Is, though they have suffered \ crushing

ing lamentation:

man takes one direction, and such equally
sound democrats as Pugh and Groesbeck take
directly opposite directions, what am to do?
Where am to go? / never was anything

can tell which way to be democrat. and at
the same time keep in the democratic party,

pure democracy, but the old folks have gone

sets line running from Boston to the State
line of New Hampshire; the Eastern New
Hampshire, from the State line to Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, twelve miles, and the Maine
Central from Bangor to Portland, Maine, 1888
miles. Various connections are made with
these roads, the most important being the
newly projected line to Halifax. BY this en-
terprise Col Scott secures an all railroad
route from Halifax to New York, saving two
days in the trip to Europe, and already has
his Philadelphia connection from the city
southwark and west by the Pennsylvania Cen
tral. But a very short time will be required
to complete this route, and it is said that then
the colonel will enter the list as the great rival
of Vanderbilt. This new road will form
another of the great qualifications of the Penn

INEBRI4TES.

A report of the Inebrate Home of Kings
county, New York, just published, emboiies
some interesting facts. The report shows
that OF last years patients, 80 have been in
the habit of beg inning their debauches with
the use of malt liquor, cider. lager, or light
wines, according to their respectively acquired
early tastes The use Of these stimulated the
diseased appetite for strong alcoholic liquors
which had been previously acquired. In
process of time even the strongest alcoholic
stimulant was unable to satisfy the inordinate
cravings, and refuge was had in the use of
opium, morphine, hydrate choarl, and other
narcotics. There have been patients in the

phine. Others have made it daily practice
to use from 20 to 240 grains of hydrate chic
raj. No less than 50 of the patients indulg ID
more or less in the narcotic poisons, showing
that the drugstore supplements the dran-shop,
and complexities and intensifies the malady Of
inebriety Among the results of these vicious
habits, 80 patients last year suffered from de-
lrium tremens, and IS attempted suicide.
These to say theleast are very suggestive facts.

GEN. BUFFERS DEFENCE.

The labored defence of the salary bill
made by General Butler will not change
public opinion upon the matter. 1t con-
sists chiefly of an attempt to render some
of his colleagues ridiculous who opposed
the bill or have returned the back-pay,
making display of smartness in cutting
and thrusting at them and other parties
who have denounced the measure stand in
the place of an argument upon its merits.
1t is no defence Of the bill to argue that
others are nearly as deep in the mire as
he himself. 1t is no defence to assail in
diyiduals for Inconsistencies or absurdities
in relation to it. To attack the motives of
others is no sufficient answer to the charge
that the bill is wrong in principle.
The point in which the salary bill most
needs defence, where it meets with the
loudest denunciation, is the point upon
which General Butler has least to say we
refer to the back-pay feature. This neg.
lect could have been no mistake on his
part. A man so keen Of vision as he could
not have failed to discover that this was
the part which needed terrifying by reason
and argument If it could be. That he did
not undertake to meet this requirement
argues that he considered it beyond his
power to make reasonable defence of the
grab. In avoiding it he has displayed the
skill Of an advocate but established more
strongly than ever by such avoidance the
public opinion that the measure is wrong
and indefensible. lie may have succeed
ed to his satisfaction in casting dirt at some
oil his competitors for political distinction,
but he has shed no light upon the question
