No

Two weeks of the new year have
passed. and yet we 6ud no improve
meat in the moral or political condition
of the editor Of the Baueua. His
idol is still the democratic party, not
wi,hstanding its sins of omission and
commission during the war reach noun
tain high, and he can see nothing ex-
cept from a partisan stand point. We
have advised him well, but he seems
not TO have the ability TO appreciate it,
and still rolls and wallows in the dirty
pool of mere partyism. We are sorry
for him-we thought him an object
worthy of our efforts at reformation,
but we fear we have made q mistake
in supposing that he had the native
ability to rise above the mere partisan,
and in that way become a worthy
teacher of the people. His recent
ebulltions seem to confirm our doubts,
and we now conclude that we shall
have to fight for reform alone and
single handed 10 this portion of the
political vineyard. We accept the re-
sponsibility.
That there has been corruption, and
possibly extravagance. at Washington,
all admit, and its exposure is right and
proper. OF that no one complains.
But it is the spirit which actuates that
exposure that is Objectionable. 1t is
purely a party spirit. The motive is not
the correction of the evil, and thereby
the good of the people. but rather the
upbuilding of the democratic party.
1t is purely partisan. That this de
duction is correct in fact and in logic.
take n illustration. 10 the last issue
of the Bulletin occurs these words:
1.-THE wholesale bribery of
Republican Congressman with Credit
Mo6ilier stock" etc.
Why did not the editor say Rspu6-
can and Democratic Congressman?
Members of both parties were engaged
in that disgraceful business, and the
man who received the largest share of
that bride, if bribe it was, was a demo-
Graz. Why did not the editor tell the
whole truth? Because that would
have condemned democrats as well as
Republicans, and that his ~partyism
could not do. If the Credit Mobilier
fellows had all been democrats, we
have the right to conclude that he
would have said nothing That is what
we complain of-his p~artisanship, which
makes him look upon the upbuildiug Of
the democratic party as a thing of
more importance than the welfare of
the people.

A Peculiar Case in the United
States Court.
A case of peculiar interest came
up before Judge Swing in the United
States Court, yesterday.
1t appears that n James Canter
bury was indicted at the April term
of the Court. in 1871, for passing
counterfeit money, but was admitted
to bail in the sum of $1,000, with
James V. Porter, of Gallipolis, Gallia
County, Ohio, as security for his ap-
pearance at the next term of the
Court for trial
A short time after Canterbury was
set at liberty he murdered a mar in
Gallipolis; was tried for the crime,
convicted of manslaughter, and SEN
fenced to seven years Imprisonment
in the p%enitentiary, where he is nov
serving out his term.
Porter, his bailsman, naturally de
sires to be released from legal obi
CATION in the matter, and through
his attorney. Colonel L. H. Bond,
moved the Court to be released from
payment of the forfeited recogni-
zance. Colonel Bond claimed that
there had been no willfnl default;
that notwithstanding the default
Canterbury could be tried when he
was released from the p~enitentiary,
and that public justice did not re-
quire the penalty to be exacted.
Judge Swing directed the recog-
nizance of Porter to be respited until
the next term of the Court, when the
case will again be called to the con-
sideration of the Court.
