Corruption in office is not more preva-
lent now than it has always been, but the
officers are more closely watched. There
never was a time when members of Con
gress did not receive special favors from
men who We're interested in procuring
legislation. There never was a time
when owners of lines of steamers who
wished TO procure subsidies for carving
the United States mail or for other service.
did not bring to bear upon members of
Congress some of the appliances which
would be best calculated to produce the
desired result-not by direct bribery but
BY some act which would incline the
hearts of congressman towards them
Latterly it has become dangerous for a
man in office to allow himself to accept
favor, in any shape, from those who ask
for legislation. rs
A few years ago it was not considered
wrong for a Representative in Congress
to vote increased pay for his services. 1t
has been done-back pay too and no.
body then called it stealing. Now near
ly every newspaper in the land d~enounces
as robbery, the act of the late Congress in
voting increased pay. The law gave
them the power to do it. Precedent was
In their favor. We do not excuse the act
we have always denounced it as wrong.
The people are now holding their ser
wants to a ~stricter account than formerly.
Wrong doing is more openly denounced
than formerly. The people are becoming
more enlightened. The world is growing
better.

An EXPLANATION.

An extract from the New National Fra
which appeared in fridays JOURNAL, in
which an invidious comparison is made be-
tween the Hon. Charles II. Porter, of Vir-
ginia, and other Republican representatives,
surprised no one more than the editor of
THE JOURNAL, at that time absent.
1t came to this office marked, in
an envelope directed in script
resembling our own, and our
assistant in charge gave it place. We have
always been ready to do justice to Mr..
Porter, but we do not consider it necessary
to make damaging comparisons for that pur-
pose. The Republican members from Vir-
ginia have all been true upon the vital ques-
tons Of personal liberty and civil rights
without distinction of color. They may have
been compelled to differ as to the best means
of securing those rights. But we are
sure that the freedmen have no more faithful
vigilant and earnest friend than Colonel
Plat, and no truer champion than Mr..
Stowell. However it may be in other States
we are sure that the colored constituents
these gentlemen have no good reason to COM
plain. We desire to be wholly just to every
man. Our columns are not open to make po-
lltical capital for any one. We aim to COM
mend every man for his good work, and to
strengthen the Republican party by keep
ing it true to the cause of the people.

THE RoADs.-The condition of the
county roads may be inferred from the
request of the grand jury on Saturday to
be instructed to bring in an indictment
against them. They were then reported
to be in horrible condition, being almost
wholly impossible in many places. The
heavy rains since them have not improved
them we presume. The roads leading into
Manchester are also said to be in wretch
ed condition. But, bad as they are, they
are little worse than some of the streets
into which they lead.

Scotch Proverbs. Do nothing in
haste but gripping o. feas.
George Macdonald, speaking of
Bugns, says the mission of the Scotch
lyrist was to show men that there was
poetry around them and at their very
doors. Wordsworth says that the mean
est flower SO completely captivated his
mind by its unutterable beauty that
thoughts crowded on him too vast for
expression, too deep for tears and at
the feet of the man whose artistic capacities
have received not cultivation, and in con-
sequence are somnolent and lethargic, there
lies an undiscovered world more valuable
than that which meets the superficial
glance, and having more numerous and
deeper sources Of pleasure. Beauty and
utility 60 hand in hand in nature.

81 sincerely appreciate this renewed

ago there was less regard for party lines.
In the last campaign political differences
and personal hostility were clearly defined
by the line of party, but Notwithstanding
this, shall continue to endeavor to make
my administration of the government one
which will meet not only the approval of
the great party which elected me, but as
well of all the people of the United
States"

their assurance of the good will of both

strive to discharge the duties of the position
assigned to him with zeal, fidelity and i'm
Partially. He expressed, too, the hope
that the coming four years would be conse-
Grated by those entrusted with power to
the peace, unity and development of the
country, and that those in every depart
ment of the government might retire at the
close of their official career with the con-
seriousness of duties well done and with the
approval of their country men.
