TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION:
BUYING LEGISLATORS.

It appears that Mr.. John j. Patterson,
the new Senator from South Carolina, is an
old hand at buying up legislators. The
New York Sun rcviyes the following mat
ter Of record in regard to him: "The first
transaction in which the public generally
became acquainted with Honest John was
on occasion CT the election Of United
States Senator from Pennsylvania in 1868,
when be was examined by committee of
the House of Representatives Of that State
on questions touching bribery and corrup-
ton alleged against that immaculate states
man, Simon Cameron. The committee, in
making their report, state that 'Mr. Patter-
son agreed with DR.. Boyer member Of
the House cf Representatives-'ths he
[Boyerl should have $4,000 if be would
vote for Simon Cameron for United States
Senator, subjsct, however, to the approval
of Mr.. Cameron; and Mr.. Patterson after
ward informed Mr.. Boyer that Cameron
was agreed to the price," Patterson ap-
pears to be an apt pupil of the old Pennsyl-
vania corruptionist.

Who can be the Boston Clergyman so
vigorously and beautifully depicted by a
newspaper ss "a much admired colossal of

ity, grandeur-an AlPine torrent, full of
mighty pathos and ripe thoughts pulpit
orator without oratory, and with no sensa-
tional halo, to crush the brilliant mind teem-
ing with its own power" "Halo to crush"
is good, but we are not quite so sure of
"Alpine torrent fnll Of mighty pathos and
ripe thoughts"-that being kind of water
privilege of which we never heard before.
Whoever the reverend gentleman may be,
and whatever his salary, we are sure that
as an act of common justice, it should be
raised Immediately. "The Alpine torrent"
alone is worth 1916 per month.-Nep York
