The Boston Transcript says that the Pres

the successor of Secretary Richardson. Yes;
but he hasn't got clear Of Richardson yet
There's the rub.
The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Union is authority for the asser-
ton that the Washington memorialists have
decided to abandon their charges of corrup-
ton against Governor Shepherd and his asso-
ciates of the District government, being con-
WINGED that they will be unable to substantiate
them. They will now devote their attention
to the other charges which are of recklessness
in changing grades and paving streets, land in
favoring certain contractors
Gen. Hawley writes to his paper that his
advice to his friends is, in substance, to do
the best they can at the coming election, and
''then select..a good man for the Senatorshp
and put him in" He concludes as follows
SIN alternate years we unfortunately hold an
election iu the midst of tumultuous Congress
sional debate and legislation. By the end of
the session we shall find that the clouds will
have lifted, many of the wrongs will have
been righted, and much good will have been
done. The country is not ruined"
A North Carolina correspondent of the
New York Times says that the Democratic

ate money to build school houses. The

ou1xorrc SCHEMES.

QUIX0TIC SCHEMES.
The transportation committee has held daily
or nightly sessions for some time past and is
ready to report. There will probably be four
recommendations: one for extensive improve
ment of the Mississippi River, including a canal
at Fort St. Philip, the improvement of the
Ohio, the enlarging of the water ways connect
ing the upper lakes with the ocean; and canal
either by way of james and Kanawha rivers,
or through Georgia from the Tennessee River.
1t is between these two canal lines that the
committee is not yet decided There is also a
proposition under consideration to recommend
instead of either, a double-track railroad from
the Ohio to the seaboard. 1t is not the inten-
ton to ask for present appropriations, on &C
count of the financial condition of the country.
The committees estimates for the whole are in
the neighborhood of $100.O00,O00.
AN IRATE GRANGER.
There was very curious passage in the
House with respect TO an immemoral usage
by which the House has set apart a front bench
in the gallery for the use of the Speaker, to be
used in his discretion for his family, or for Wis
ting strangers of distinction, to whom it is
proper to extend the courtesies of the House.
The custom is much older than the present
House building ITSELF A Western member, af-
filiated with the Changers, some days since en-
deavored to force his family into that seat, and
was prevented by the usher. The member con-
sidered that the liberty of an American Gran
ger was infringed, and consigned, in very
coarse language, the door-keeper to the "Dem-
uition Bow Vows" and made himself couspic-
uously disag feeable about it. The subject hav-
ing been called this morning to the attention of
the House. the House with but one dissenting
voice, that of this Granger, McNuita himself.
declared it to be the sense of tle House that
that bench should be forever set apart for the
purpose indicated in accordance with the i'm
memorial usage. The Granger, who was very
vehement upon the floor at what he called the
infringement of his liberty as a Congressman,
was overwhelmed with confusion and the Kisses
of the House when, at the end of his vulgar
protest, Speaker Blaine invited him to preside
overthe House as Chairman of the Commit
tee ofthe Whole.

John Ruskin is organizing band of Oxford

Bradlaugh is stumping England, and to larg-

1t is stated that Mrs. Fanny Crosby, who
wrote the favorite hymn ''Sweet Hour of

band, and is extremely poor, nearly blind and
very old.
The guarantee fund of $500, 900 on the Peace
Jubilee has all been used up, and probably
$4,000 more will not satisfy the demands that
have show of legitimacy. Who next wants
to 60 on a guarantee fund? asks the editor of
the Boston Commonwealth.
The Portland daily press., 1874-04-06

Mr.. EDITOR Somebody uses your columns to
make invidious comparisons betwixt the Maine
Central and Boston and Maine Railroads In the
matter of freight charges, misstating the facts
thirty-three per cent. to the detriment and dis
advantage of the Maine Central 1t will be
well to recollect that the Boston and Maine
railroad, whether it charges more or less, charg-
es enough to pay its owners an eight or ten per
cent dividend on Its stock. 1t is is the general
apprehension that that concern gouges the
public the worst which takes out of them the
biggest annual tax for profit. Precisely this is
what the Boston and Maine does amongst all
the railroads in all this region. DIRIGo.
The ''Shylock" is leading furniture manu-
featuring and dealing firm in this city whose
business is somewhat affected by railroad rates.
As to Illustrating the facts we have only to
say that Bangor furniture firm in a letter be-
fore us to the firm above named, says that"$L SO
is the regular freight on extension tables" from
Bangor to Portland, but all we could get off you
have the benefit Of" If statements of this
Kind are "inyidious comparisons it IS no fault
oi ours. 1t is no funeral of ours nor have we
tne least interest in the railroads, but as to
"gouging" it seems that the friends of the road
whose regular charge for an article is ri 90 for
100 miles can't shout "gouge" very loud to
road which charges for the same merchandise
fifty cents for 10 miles,
