PREPARING FOR THE BATrLE.-The
Central Pacific people, after long and
desperate struggle to get possession Of Goat
Island, which was only defeated at the
eleventh hour by the whirlwind of indgna-
ton about the Credit Mobilier business, are
busly preparing for another campaign.
Stanford and his lobbyists have returned
from Washington soured and disappointed,
but not conquered. They have work before
them of utmost importance. A Legislature
is to de chosen, which will have vital ques-
tions of the regulation of freights and fares
before it, and United States Senator is to
be elected by the same body. AT any and
every cost they must capture the Legislature
and orders have been issued accordingly,
1t will never do to permit freights and fares
to be touched, nor to allow an honest anti
railroad Senator to hold Sargent in check,
and neutralze his efforts for the great cor
poration. Therefore, instructions have been
issued to the political managers of the COM
pany to work cautiously but energetically in
every county and district in the State. Sem
ators and Assemblymen are the game in this
fight, with the control of the Supervi-
sors in certain counties. There is nothing
political III it. Democrats will answer just
as well as Republicans, if they can be relied
upon to do the bidding of Stanford & Co.
The agents of the corporation will pursue
the same policy in California that Jay Gould
and the Erie do in tie East. That is in
Republican districts, they will be Republi-
cans; in Democratic districts, Democrats,
and in doubtful districts double game will
be played with both parties. Under these
circumstances it becomes the paramount
duty of the people all over the State to
guard well their interests Tney should see
to il that no man is nominated for the Leg
islature who is not thoroughly reliable on
this issue. If he is at all shaky or doubtful
thrust him to one side, and select some one
whose record for honesty either in public or
private life is guarantee that he will not
sell out to the railroad Ring. The sentiment
of the masses cannot be mistaken. There
is an overwhelming majority opposed to the
Stanford clique, and by the exercise of vig-
lance and frmness signal triumph may be
won this Fall. If, however, trickery and
corruption prevail, the legislation next
Winter will prove burden and curse to the
States. +. Erening Post.

WHrTEwAsnED.-A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial tells how Speaker
Blaine was whitewashed by the Credit Mobil-
ier Committee. 1t will be remembered
that Oakes Ames testified before the COM
mittee that Mr. Blaine's statement was sub
stantially correct; that he offered Mr.. b.
stock, and that the latter, after deliberation,
declined to take it. The writer in the Com
mercial asserts that as Ames walked out of
the room, he met fellow-Congressman and
Republican. With dry, significant chuckle
he said: "Isnt it strange that they did not
ask me what reason Blame gave for not ac-
cepting the stock ?" "What would you
have said if the question had been asked !,
Mr.. Ames % "Why, should have an.
swered by giving the reason as Blaine gave
it. Blaine said had not offered him enough.
That if he could not get more he wouldn't
have any of the id stuff. These were
his precise words, and so should have told
them if they had asked me-" The writer
adds that the members of the committee
were again and again told of this conversa-
ton by different persons, and urged to recall
Ames and ask that question. 1t was never
asked, however.

WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER R.-Nothing pre-
sents sadder commentary upon the present
condition of society than the large number of
families, both in town, and in the country,
but more especially in the latter, that sub
scribe to no paper of any kind. How many
families are thus growing up utterly ignorant
of what is transpiring in the world around
them-ignorant Of the mighty events of the
day. But who can tell the vast amount of
injury that is being inflicted upon the rising
generation-those who are to take our place
in the busy world at no distant day-grow-
ing up without any knowledge of the present
Or any study Of the past; this ignorance, too,
being imbued into them by the sanction Of
those who should, and doubtless do know
better, did they only think of the injurious
effects of their insane course. Let the head
of the family think Of this, and place in the
hands of those for. whom he is responsible,
the means of acquiring some knowledge Of
the moving panorama in which we act our
different parts.

Ir is a remarkable historical fact, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, that the leading oppo-
sition men to the Democracy, when they are
in the last stages of life, before they die, unite
themselves with that party. If Henry Clay
had lived and been in good health in 1862, he
would have been their candidate for Presi-
dent. This was agreed upon by Douglas,
Cass and others. Both Clay and Webster,
if they had longer survived, would have
voted for Franklin Pierce for President.
They gave evidences of this fact before their
death. The founders ofthe Republican party
were VIM. IL. Seward and Salmon. p.
Chase. Both of them virtually belonged to
the Democratic organization, although they
have given their lives and servises to those
who were its antagonists. There seems to
be something in the Democratic party which
no man who lives to good age can oppose.

TIE CANKER OF CORRUPTION An Eastern
lady, the daughter of great politician, and
herself one of the most gifted women Of the
country, in letter to personal friend,
writes: "Unless something is done TO save
us from these overwhelming waves of cor
ruption, we shall go under some day and
only be known in history as terrible ex-
ample. Good heavens ! when l think Of
such magnificent Argosy as these United
States, freigbted with the noblest hopes and
aspirations of the human race, going down
on the awful lee shore of political corruption,
it makes me frantic with rage and grief. /
fancy ! can hear you chuckle over poor
Colfax's fall; but really, my whole heart is
full Of pity for him. lie looks like dead
man; and cannot throw stone at him
without shying bigger one at some of the
rascals who sat on him, and were too shrewd
to get their fingers burned"

PRESIDENT GRANT has offered gratuitous
and singing insult to the people of North
Carolina. A year or two ago Governor
Holden was impeached for high crimes and
misdemeanors by the Legislature Of the
State and broken of his Office. He left the
State to escape justice, but is now sent back
with bis commission in his pocket as POST
master at Raleigh. We may expect next to
hear that the fugitive scoundrel, Bullock.

enjoy some lucrative Federal office, with the

VERY PROPER ACTION. Iu their great
Convention at Springfield, the farmers Of
Illinois, met without distinction of party,
adopted this resolution with but one dis
senting voice:
Resolved, That, without regard to poll
tics or party ties, we do most emphatically
place the seal of our condemnation upon our
Senators and Representatives in Congress
from this State, who, by their votes, in
creased their own pay to,$7 500 per annum,
and bonus af So, 900 for services already
rendered; and we further condemn the Presi-
dent of the United States for signing the bill
by which they were enabled to realize the
increased pay, and his own salary increased
$25 900 per annum.
