A QuEsrIoN.-If the Republican
party is in earnest in its bitter pro-
tests against those members of Con-
gress, of both political parties, who
still keep their back pay and increase
of Salary, by the law of March 1878,
why don't they repeal that part of the
act which increases the Presidents
pay $4,000, per year? We ask if
it is not t.s bad for the President to
retain that increase as it is for those
Congressman who have done so?
Perhaps our worthy President is to be
justified on the grounds that he is a
superior officer and needs the increase
more Butwe believe thepeople will soon
act upon this matter at the ballot-box.
With that decision we will be content

The reinstatement of President
Grant of Milroy, the Superintendent
of Indian Affairs in Washing ton Ter
ritory, causes much dissatisfaction
there. Milroy was suspended for d.
verting to his own use the goods and
provisions sent for the maintenance
of the Indians. He has not vindicat-
ed his innocence, and his reinstate-
ment is simply favor to his political
friends.

SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Thursday, March 10, 1874.
New Hampshire.

The republicans have got badly
licked in the election in this State
They put in operation their usual
tactics. Their candidate for Governor
was an old ''pod augur' fellow that
they nominated because they thought
he would get the votes of the Grang-
ers. They populated the Navy Yard
at Portsmouth with five hundred or a
thousand voters they put in lots of
money, and after all their party of
thieves were badly whipped
The democratic candidate for Gov
-ernor leads by some fifteen hundred,
and will be elected by the Legislature.
The House of Representatives is large
ly democratic, and the Senate will be
when the vacancies are filled, as they
will be, by democrats. Thus the
democrats have gained entire control
of another State upon which great
labor and untold sums of money have
been expended. This was not the
fight of an "off year" but was the best
fight the Administration could make,
and it was beaten.
This was owing in the first place to
the corruption and general "cussed-
ness" of the Administration and it's
hangers-on, and secondly to the Pro-
hibitory Liquor Law. And the dem
ocrots of New Hampshire now that
they have got the power should have
no nonsense upon this subject of the
liquor law. They should promptly
repeal the prohibitory law, and enact
good, sound law, licensing proper
persons to sell liquors, and stringently
regulating their sale, dependent upon
nobody but the proper officers, under
the law, for its adoption and USE
This would be in accordance with
democratic principles, and the manly
course.
Democrats may learn lesson from
the political events Of this spring -
The people are not in favor of theft
and corruption, Or the miserable
liquor law as enforced by politicians.
The election in Burlington showed |
this. About seventy thousand dol
lars of United States money have been
stolen there by the tools Of this cor
rupt Administration. The liquor law
has there been used to prosecute
democrats, and protect republicans
Men there who make corrupt bargains
about the officers Of the general gov
eminent, and accumulate money there
by, sneer at and abuse honest laboring
men. Men who graduate from in
ebriate asylums set themselves up as
exemplars of temperance, and bully
people more decent than themselves
But the democrats made a square
fight in Burlington and whipped this
pulled up, corrupt, and hypocritical
rabble. So may it be everywhere,

Resources of Tennessee.

We are indebted to the author, Col. j.
B. Killebrew, Secretary of the Beureau
of Agriculture, for a copy of the above
book, which comprises about 200 pages
of information useful to every Tennes-
sean. Col. K. has spared no pains or Ia
Dor to make this work complete in all
of its details, and he has succeeded
splendidly. 1t is a complete expose of
the resources of our wonderful State-a
comprehensive and minute detail of our
mineral and agricultural wealth, inclu-
ding chapters on Typographical fea-
lures, climate, Geological formations,
Relations of Geology to the Farm, Soils,
Timber, Farm products, Live Stock,
the Dairy, Grape Growing, Honey re-
sources, Coal, Iron, Copper and other
Minerals, River and Railroad Transpor-
tation, Condition of Agriculture, Pub
lie school system, word to emigrants,
Occupation of the people, and Gen
eral Statistics, followed by a detailed
description of each county in the
State, with its history, geological forma-
Just such information in regard to each
as would be wanted by any one looking
for a home. The volume is illustrated
with a number of maps. The GeOlogi-
cal and Agricultural Map of the State,
says the Gallatin Examiner, is invalua-
BILE. and would alone be worth the price
of the volume. We heartily endorse
and adopt the following from the E1-
dDsiRer:
''There is no estimating the amount of
good that this volume win accomplish
in giving the outside world a correct
knowledge of the resources of Tennes-
see, which only await the developing
power of Capital and Labor. 1t is the
first complete and satisfactory expose
that has been made of our "Resources,"
and the author has done more in that
direction than all other men put togeth-
er. Bringing to his work thorough lit
erary training in the best schools, an
unflagging industry, and enthusiasm
that always accOmplishes true genius,
he has produced work upon which he
may safely rest his reputation. The I'M
thinking portion of the community may
never realize, after the stream of immi-
and towns are magnified, and the roar
of a thousand shops is heard in the land,
and it's mountains yield their richness
of mineral, and our State has taken its
place with its peers in all of the cOndi-
tons that make State great and pros
porous, but it will be none the less a fact
that to such laboriOus workers as Col.
Killebrew, who has unrolled the map of
Tennessee and pointed out its magnifi-
cent capabilities win be due to the larger
portion of the credit and honor.
1t is to be regretted that only the small
edition of 5000 copies of the work has
been ordered by the State. Five times
that number could be adVantageOusly
circulated IN this country and in Europe.
The coming Legislature should see that
it is done. Copies of the work can be
procured at SO: 90 per copy, by address
