WILL NOT GO BACK.

The New York Times, comment
ing on the astounding report of the
intention of the President to "go
back on his anti-intfation veto, re-
calls the fact that he has not hest
tated to say to those who have dis
cussed the subject with him, that he
believes in the sounduess of the
views advanced, last session and
that he proposes to urge ON Con-
gress to take, in the next session,
some step in a policy that will at
tain specie payments 10y 1876. And
it truly says that his promise to OPP
pose the intiationists cannot be vio-
lated without the most serious con-
sequences to the community, and
certainly not without utter ruin to
his own reputation.

Forty miles an HOur-TO Death.

Men of true manly grit are not to
be found every day but one Of this
kind died at his post in Cheyenne,
the other day. He was an engineer
on the Union Pacific Railroad.
Coming west, bringing the passeng-
er train, he was suddenly taken SER
iously i'll, but rather than shrink
from duty, he increased the speed
of the engine to 40 miles an hour,
and reached Cheyenne ahead OF
time. AS the monster machine
came to a halt, and the engineer
who was to relieve him stepped into
the pilot-house, he said family !:
"Take the engine I'm ready to die
now !" and in five seconds he was a
CORPSE.

SUsPICIoUs.-A suspicious fact
connected with the u. s. Senator
ship is that all the Democratic pa
pers of the State are in favor of
Matt. II. Carpenter. To US this is
strong evidence that he is not the
best man for Republicans. Demo-
Gratis are not always blind to their
own interests; they see plainly that
the election of Mr.. Carpenter would
estrange many Republicans from
the party, and tend to draw them
toward the Democratic party 1t is
not that they love Carpenter that
they hope for his election, but that
they hope thereby to regain in next
years election what they have lost
in this. The Milwaukee Neocs, lead
ing Democratic organ of the State,
has an article on the 18th in Mr..
CARPENTERS interest, and denuncia-
tory of Washburn. 1t attempts to
prove Washburn unpopular in GER
tain localities, by showing that he
received less votes in 1873 than the
Republican candidates for Congress
in 1874. Ii this is to be accepted
as proof that Washburmis unpopu-
lar in the Seventh District, then
from equally as strong evidence OF
the same kind, it must be admitted
that he is obnoxious to the Third
District. In 1873 Gov. Taylor re-
ceived a majority over Washburn IN
this district of about 300, while at
the late election the Republicans
elected Magoon by over LOO. Yet
any one pretending that Washburn
is not popular here is either knave
or fool.

A NEW York paper has been re.

A New York paper has been re-
ceiving the results of scientific tests
in the matter Of liquor adulteration
from several States, and thinks that
it is time the State Legislatures en-
tered into Deliberations touching
the question as temperance meas
ure. In the reports, experienced
gentlemen state that the liquor bus
lness of the United States is con-
Quoted with shameful and reckless
disregard of the laws for the preser-
walton of the public health. In
stances are cited to prove that
nearly nine-tenths of the liquor sold
in this country is an adulteration OF
the genuine article. Thirty-six
samples tested in st. Louis showed
in every case "the grossest adultera.
tions, principally with poisons.'
In the same city ''rare old WHISTLES"
costing from Sc to SIS per gallon,
were found to be made of "stuf"
that reduced the expense Of Great
ing such fancy drinks" to 30 cents
a gallon. An experimental from
Chicago said that he found pure
liquor in only forty of the hundreds
of bar-rooms in that city and an
other from trip about New York,
could scarcely find an unauthorized
beverage in the hotels of that me-
tropolis. If it is criminal to mix
poisons in the drinks which are fed
to those who indulge in stimulants,
as it certainly is, then should laws
against the practice be made and
executed. When temperance advo-
Gates have crushed out authorizations
in Intoxicating liquors, they will
have taken the profits from the
trade, and that will shut up more
saloons, and keep them closed, than
can many crusaders.

A little while ago the numerous
citizens committees of Louisiana
were assuring General Grant of their
warmest personal regard and their
highest respect for the office which
he occupied. Since the election the
tune has changed. The Shreveport
Times now says, speaking of the
Thanksgiving proclamation of the
President:
The people cannot regard General Grant
save N brutal aud vniictive tyrant, who
has violated his solemn oath of office and his
duties to both God and man. TO Cypress and
outrage them while he has grown rich out
of brides aud gifts, they have been plundered
by his cmissarleS after they had won Il glo
rious victory over their piunderers aud re-
established legal government in the State
he awoke from drunken debauch To hurl his
army upon them aud crush them again under
the feet Of the robbers.
This sounds so much like the old
abuse of Abraham Lincoln that the
President ought to feel battered.
And yet we cannot help wondering,
with Horace Greeley, why God, in
His inscrutable providence, permits
the publication of such mischiev
Gus, intolerant, and utterly idiotic
newspapers. They seem to do
nothing but harm, to be of no pos
sible benefit to anybody, beggars in
intellect, literary Migrants, political
footpads; and yet they go on year
after year, some of them actually
hourishing, growing fat off COM
munity which they hoodwinS and
deceive. 1t is curious, mysterious,
unfathomahle, but true.

WASHINGTON, November, 49,
Congressman Page has received
from California affidavits of the Rev.
Otis Gibson, +. d. Simons and Ira
NJ. Conduit, all for many years resi-
dent in China, and now engaged in
missionary work among the Chinese
ia San Francisco for the Methodist,
Baptist and Presbyterian churches,
certifying that they have personal
knowledge that regular system OF
importation OF and traffic in Chinese
women for purposes Of prostitution
exists in China aud California, and
at least nine-tenths OF all the Chi
nese women in California are owned,
bought and sold for vile purposes,
there being 5000 of them in San
Francisco alone. Mr.. Gibson fur
nishes an original bill of sale Of one
of these transactions in the Chinese
language, and gives the English
translation, showing the remarkable
open manner In which this slave
traffic is conducted. These afida-
Wits were forward by Mr.. Ester, late
Speaker of the California Assembly,
to be brought to the attention of
Congress by Page, with a view to
securing Federal Legislation to pre-
vent further importations Of this
kind, it having been held by the
United States Court in California
that the State laws enacted for the
purpose ore unconstitutional.
President Grant in a recent con-
versation on the subject expressed
the opinion that such importations
are in violation of the spirit of the
treaty with China, but he did not
say he believed the treaty was di-
rectly violated thereby, nor did he
give any assurance, as has been In
correctly stated, that he would call
attention to the subject In his forth
coming message.

The Milwaukee Sentinel, special
organ Of Matt H. Carpenter, attacks
Gov. Washburn on the subject Of
back pay. The offense OF Wash
burn is that in 1856 he voted to in
crease the Congressional pay from
So per day to $4,000 per year. 1t
was afterwards raised from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year, but not while Wash
burn was a member and so it re-
manned until the last Congress
raised it to $500, with back pay
added. The people found no fault
with the change in $50 because they
recognized it as just; neither was
there much complaint about the in
crease to $4,000 when currency was
so greatly deprecated, but there
they thought it ought to stop; es-
pecially when greenbacks were
worth but 10 per cent. less than
gold, and living expenses greatly re-
duced from what they were in war
times, when the increase to $4,000
was voted.

A MORMON Bishop, VIM. II. Dame

A MORMON Bishop, VIM. II. Dame,
has been arrested at Beaver, Utah
Territory, in his own residence,
charged with having committed
murder, as one of the participants
in the Mountain Meadow Massacre
many years ago. There will be a
great deal of hemp consumed, if all
the murderers in the Mormon
Church are executed, but there
would be many homes made happy
in the process. There is a DANTE
Colony hourishing in the Canons of
Kanab, in which it would be mod
erately safe thing, to fit every male
above twenty-five years of age, with
hempen cravat; but even then,
the faint of murder would not be
wiped out from the stronghold of
the faithful, where so-called Indian
outrages used to be continually
planned.

ANDREW JOHNSON.

A curious feature Of the Tennes-
see election was the popular vote
taken on the Senatorship. Andrew
johnson, who holds that Senators
should be elected by the direct vote
of the people, proposed that the
Democrats, while voting for the
State officers, should at the same
time cast an extra ballot indicating
their choice for United States SEN
ator The returns from Memphis
show that the vote was ten to one
in favor of the ex-President, and it
is probable that the result in Cen
trail and East Tennessee is in the
same proportion. And yet it is
very doubtful if he will be the
choice of the Legislature. His cam
paign has been very bitter and per-
sonal, especially his attack on Gov.
Brown. AS Andrew Johnson would
be sure to make an indecent exhibit
ton of himself in the Senate, his
election would hardly add to the
Democratic strength in that body.
Financially he is straight repudia-
ZIONIST.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-the Catholic
English Bishops wish to pursue an
independent course, in case the
British Government should seek to
restrict the liberty of action of the
Catholic clergy. They will repre-
sent to the Pope, that they wish to
respect the laws of England, and
cannot accept the regulations as are
imposed on continental bishops.

SCRANTON, Pa, has a collisry
known as the Fair Lawn, and some
time since the men employed there
in struck for a diminution of their
toll, without a corresponding change
in their wages. The proprietors
declined to accede to the demand,
and for some time work ceased en-
tirely. Eventually miner named
Digger, contracted to manage the
mine at the old rate, and in pursu-
ance OF that arrangement, he en-
gagged men from distance, to carry
out his undertaking. The introduce
ton of the foreign element to Scran-
ton, caused riot, in which women
as well as men took part, and at
one time it appeared very likely
that lives would be lost. One irras-
chile lady threw lump of coal at a
man named Archibald, but fortu-
nately for both parties, her aim was
as bad as her intention. Missiles
of various kinds were freely hurled
during the melee. The men who
are at work, are known as "black
legs" and "Molly Maguires."

SECRET society mania is just now
possessing an association which is
in session at Chicago. The mem-
bers of the Association are very
generally members Of churches,
which are in their very essence, and
properly enough, secret socities
but we are at a loss to discover their
consistency. Masonry is at least as
old as their most ancient ..ssocia-
ton, its ritual is as high as religious
thought can rise, its objects en-
noble humanity, and the best men
who have ever come to the front, in
the hour of the nations peril, have
been those who knew how to re-
spect and revere the Masonic obi
CATION. 1t is time for unreasoning
zealots to hide their bigotry, if they
cannot exercise it altogether. When
they, and such as they, do their ut
most to bring religion into disfavor,
the reverence fostered by Masonic
teachings, toward the Great Archi-
tect of the universe, will rebuild
their churches on basis of truer
benevolence, and more catholic faith
