MASSACHUSETTS, MANNERS.

We have heard great deal in times past
of "plantation manners" Massachusetts,
is now coming to the front to give us sam
pie of Der manners. The Legislature is
called upon by the press of that State to
investigate the charges of indecent conduct
on the part of certain of its members. The
most notorious case is that OF Mr.. Hoyt,
of Athol, the gentleman who has the IN
enviable notoriety Of being the originator
of the resolution censuring Senator Sum-
ner. The charge is, that, few days ago,
he came into the House, returning from a
dinner given by the "loyal soldiers " who
felt insulted by Mr.. Summers resolution, so
Intoxicated as to be mAudlin and diagust-
ing. He entered at once upon the debate
before the House, and behaved in man
ner 30 disgraceful that an adjournment was
moved and carried in order to put an end
to the scene. He is the Republican leader
Of the House, and consequently no cen sure
is passed upon him.

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH IN EN-
GLAND

1t appears that the only advantage de-
rived from government control CT the tele-
graph lines in England, is the transmission
Of messages at cheaper rate than in this
country. Many people have believed that
the administration of the English postal
service is perfect, and that it is a standing
proof Of the safety of trusting the telegraph
lines to our own department. But it comes
out, according TO tbeSLondon Economist,
that the ''postoffice officials have expend-
ed (within year, sS,2sO,OOO Of the public
money, which they had 10 right to ex-
pend" and ''tbat they do not know within
100000 or 100000 from what source
they obtained the money. All they know
is, that they have large sums of other peo-
pes money on two accountable deposits
of the savings banks and the moneys in
transmission by means of money orders,
and that out of one or other of these funds
(both Of which belongs to other psople)
they have paid the sums they required.
They cannot say whose money they have
purloined, but they are clear and distinct tn t
they have purloined some ones" Certain
ly this is not showing that need tempt
our people to load our own officials with ex-
traordinary responsibilities.

reasonable oouhs that e the plea efAigno-
rance and innocence made by this firm be
true, the whole transaction Is an Infamous
outrage on the part of every Government
official concerned therein. In the light OF
these provisions, the World remarks that
either the flrmswas really guilty and de-
served punishment, or the District Hor-
neys, Davis and Bliss; the Collector, Ar
thur; and The Special Agent, Jayne, were
(the Secretary|of the Treasury assentiDg)l
virtually blackmailers in the transaction,
using the form of law to coerce money into
their own pockets. The transaction does
seem open to objection of that sort; but,
doubtless it has not so presented itself to-
the minds Of the gentlemen who divided
the moieties. 1t will be remembered that
in menorabls discussion between two
gentlemen visiting neighbours hen-roost
by night, when one of them put the inquiry.
point hlsnk if this WASH 'tstealing, bis COM.
panion, with admirable presence of mind,
replied, "Tbat,s a great moral question.
Pass down another pullet." The World
says of Judge Davis's letter: 81
@This is certainly most extraordinary
statement to come from such a source. If
Judge Davis was satisfied of this absence of
actual design to introduce this merchandise.
without payment of legal duty and of gull
ty knowledge that the invoices we're false,
did he SO report it to his official s,iperiors?
Did he demonstrate with the Collector
AGAINST the tremendous exsction? How
does he now Justify the proposition to the
firm, which appears to have come from him
TO pay 100000, if he believed the firm in
Justify the payment of $260, 900 and more
when the District Attorney comedies the
validity Of their defense? Were the mercy
or pardon or justice of Secretary Boutwell,
or President Grant invoked as against the
long time before the Treasury De-
formed, but why did rot the plea
penalty? Why did not Judge Davis vol
unteer then, as be does now, to assert and
insist on the innocence of the firm? Or
did he represent the facts as he now states
them, ard were his representations unheed-
ed?"
All these seem to be "great moral ques-
tions," and there was a precedent for post
poning them while the "sulletB" were pass
ing down. 1t really looks as if it were
case of Matchmaking, to which the govern
inert has made party. The confession Of
Judge Davis places the matter in such
light that the government ought not to rest
quietly under the grave imputation.

THE STUDY OF SOCIOLOGY.

The Popular Science Monthly for May
contains chapter ten of Herbert Spencer's
great work entitled "Tbe Study of Sociol-
oSy." This chapter discusses at considera-
bic length "The Class-Bias," as developed
In the society of England. With an estab-
lshed Church, hereditary monarchy and
House of Lords, with primogeniture aud
entail as permanent Institutions, class-or-
ganzation and bias are likely to exist in
great force and prominence. Spencer shows
this to be the fac; and his citations and IL
Illustrations are often not without parallel
cases in this country, as showing the bias
of laborers' strikes, and trsde-uniOns. The
reason why so many industrial associations
fail is clearly shown. The laboring masses
are quite as deficient in mental and moral
culture as their employers and capitalists
generally. 1t is difficult TO find in their
nrmbers men wholly quslifed by well de-
veloped intelligence and integrity to con-
duct the business of a large labor associa-
lecting or abusing the trust. The
temptation TO dishonest practices
i. very great, acd not resisted
Even among e better educated class, the
men who establish hanks, build railways,
and large factories, and operate them
through officers, find it impossible TO select
persons whose honesty is above the reach Of
temptation. No,hing is more common than
for presidents, cashiers and directors to
chest their associate stockholders, as well as
wrong and rob the public. Such acts not
only create bias against what are called
monopolies and rings, but prevent the
proper development Of the principle of asso-
citation of capital, labor and cultivated in
tellect. In word, Improvements can not
he carried much farther without deeper
moral culture. .a

TIE Chicago Times has this to say of a

THE Chicago Times has this TO say Of
Democratic Congressman of that State:
"Hon. John NJ. Crebs, Representative In
the forty -second Congress from the thir-
tenth district Of this State, is to be added
10 tbs list of those members who, after
opposing the salary grab by their votes, had
the honesty and consistency to refuse to
avail themselves of the proceeds. He is
also to be added to the shorter list Of those
who did not use the swsg to buy popular
favor, by presenting it TO some home insti-
tuition, or to the State or municipal govern
ment, but left it where it belonged, in the
treasury of the United States"
The Chicago Journal, a Republican or
gan, refers to Mr.. Crebs' action as fol-
lJws:
"The fact that Mr.. Crebs is Democrat
should influence the Senators and Repre-
ssntstives of our own party to disgorge-
that is, such of them as have not already
done So"
In bis letter returning his back pay to the
Treasury Department, Mr.. Crebs says !:
" As persistently opposed the passage of
the bill for increase Of pay, cannot con-
scientiously receive the money"

THE only plank saved from the political
shipwreck of the Radical party in Connec-
ticut is, in fact, that they have msjority of
about fifteen hundred in the State on the
Congressional ticket. But, says the Hart
ford Times: alt is beyond controversy
that even this dubious comfort would have
been denied to that party, and probable
majority recorded against them in the total
ofthe Congressional districts, as it has been
on the State ticket, had the Radical candi-
dates dared to proclaim themselves the
adherents of Grant and his Credit Mobilier
back pay party"
