IL is . very stupid thing to connect
York with Pomeroy as partners In
crime, and d still stupider thing to at
tempt to play of " York's treachery I"
asan excuse for Pomeroy's bribery
No. Democrat.
We agree with the Democrat In the
proposition that 1t 10 stupid to connect
York and Pomeroy as partners In
crime, but we would go further and
say that we differ. with the Democrat
in'Daking up an absolute judgment
~ q case before an Investigation is had.
We regard itas a very stupid thing or
rather rascally unfair thing, to do as
the Democrat has been doing in this
case, in regard to Pomeroy, viz: to
proceed at once in advance of hear
ing, to assume the place OF Jury and
Judge, bring in verdict Of guilty,
aud acknowledgement. The power
ofs great journal. with million read
ers, to injurc man, is very great;
. charge may be thus sown broadcast
Ina single Issue of such paper, which
proves finally to be false, and 90 an in
1ury be done which can never be fully
atoned for. No one knows this better
than the editors Of the Democrat, and
yet they take Pomeroy up and souse
him time and time again, into the lake
ofbrimstone, asthough he was fairly
and judicially condemned criminal
We concede that the picture against
Pomeroy appears to be dark one, and
we confess too, that our confidence in
him before this last dcnouement was
not very strong, yet wc deprecate the
idea that any journal, and especially
metropolitan one should treat the
charge of bribery against him a. an
established fact, and then proceed to
paint it in all it's hideous deformity.
IL there be one fault greater than
another,s aside from want of integri-
ty, in the editor Of great paper, it
is the fault of what is familiarly term
ed Shopping over" This fault we
should suppose tho Democrat had had |
sad experience enough in, during its
last three or four years of political |
action. a a

The owners of abraham" stock will he
pleased to hear that the horse has been
moved from the Cream Hill Stock Farm to
the country seat of Benz E. Bates, ESQ.,,
at WATERFOWL, seven miles from Boston,
and placed in the hands of one of the best
veterinary surgeons in the country. Mr..
Vim. II. Tourtellotte, who has had the
horse in charge, writes, Dec. Sth, that an
operation has been performed upon the
horses hoofs with such satisfactory results
as to promise speedy and permanent cure
Of his lamencss.
The horse, since three years ago, has
been affected with fevered condition of
the feet, producing cracks at the junction
ofthe hoof and flesh, causing bleeding and
lameness, and rendering him incapable of
exhibiting the speed of which he was well
known to be possessed.
Abraham" will return to his hcadquar-
,ers at ShOreham at the end of the winter,
and should his lameness not return, will
make his appearance at the next Vermont
State Fair, and such an exhibition of his
speed given as will satisfy all that he moi
only has most remarkable trotting action,
and is the most stylish horse in the coun-
try, but that he will compare fayorably a,
10 time, with those very fast colts of his
which now rank as the fastest.in the world
II is understood from the owners, that in
Introducing the horse to his numerous
friends next season, the public will have
reason to be more than satisfied. b.

CONGRESSIONAL MATrrns.-It was de-
cidedy funny sight after Mr. Blaines cleo
ton was announced to see him escorted to
the chair BIO the long haired, Indian looking
Maynard of Tennessee and the Louis Napo-
leon looking Fernando Wood The House
is such rowdy looking assemblagc that
when they put on airs or attempt anything
like dignity it Is as good as a farce. To.
day, while the vote was being taken for
speaker, boorish member stretched his
form full length on two desks in the center
ofthe hall, while he talked to another men,
Der. There, in the diplomatic gallery, sat
the French minister and wife, the English
minister and the Japanese who have come
here to study our ways. There were hun
drcds of distinguished ladies and gentlemen
present tn witness this violation of good
manners. II these men have no self-re-
spect, then there should be some rules Tor
good behavior adopted. The spcakeo might
call from the chair The gcntlmen from
Arkansas will please sit on the chair, and
not make bed of his desk. The gentle
man from Missouri will please put his feet
on the floor, and not elevate them above
his head. The gentlemen will find lunch
room convenient, and are forbid to pare their
apples while the House is in session, and
throw the peclings on the floor. Everything
now looks so clean and handsome that it
seems pity that it should so soon become
dcfaccd. - LouiSrWc Copyier-JopiporS

Financial.

We find, says the st. Adams Adcerttser,
in the st. Adams Messenger the following
extract from letter written six years ago
by the Hon. Bradley Barlow, of St. AL
bans, to Senator Edmunds 1t is nearly
identical in thought and spirit with the late
speech of Senator Ferry of Michigan, con-
corning our financial troubles and necessi-
ties
All paper money that ever existed in this
country was, and is, representative of
credit. No paper dollar ever represented
dollar in gold. The national banks are al
lowed to pay their paper in the paper of the
government, and limited as the amount is,
TO sum considerably less than the legal
tenders, the national banks could not pay
their notes in legal tenders to-day but for
ihc credit the government has given them,
which keeps their notes in circulation. SO
the credit of the banks is based upon the
credit or Indebtedness OF the government.
In round numbers the legal tenders
amount to about four hundred millions,
and the national bank circulation three
hundred million dollars of paper money,
authorized by Congress; sum not likely
10 be reduced at present.
nc iirst step IN the right direction, and
in the direction of making our paper money
equal in value and convertible into gold
will be to withdraw the three hundred mil
lions of national bank circulation and sub
stitute in its place three hundred millions
of legal tenders. This measure will not in
crease the paper money circulation one
dollar
The amount should be limited to such
sum as is deemed equal to the wants of the
people for the convenient transaction of
the business of the whole country
The present relations of the National
Banks and government, are an unmitgated
evil, and should be dissolved as soon us it
can be done without injustice
1t is useless to expect from Congress any
practical or beneficial legislation upon f.
nancial matters so long as Congress feels
bound to protect the banks in the privileges
they now enjoy. They will always be an
impeachment to wholesome financial legis-
lation.
Having got rid of the national banks, so
far as they have any connection with the
government, the next step is to provide
some system 10 give fiexibility to the cur
rency. This should be done to accommo-
date the volume of currency TO the vary

Civil RIGuTs.-A notable change has
taken place at the hotels in Washington on
the question of color since the advent of
colored congressman, their admittancc open

Brown of Boston, chairman of the Massa-

the proprietor requesting him to take his
meals in his room, and promising that there
should be no extra charge therefor. This
compliment Mr.. Brown declined, as he is in
