Thurlow Weed publishes letter of MI
Fillmore, written in 1888, in which he says

office or any popular favor for a lvcli-
hood. That moment. l should lose my

The sentiment, as has been said does him
honor and credit. 1t is doubtless true, that
he never depended upon any Office or any
popular favor for livelihood" but if he
had carried the sentiment one step further,
and placed it upon the true American
ground, and had then lived up to it, it
would have done HIM infinitely more honor
and credit, and the reputation of Willard
Fillmore would have been altogether differ

died some ten days ago. An office is neith-

retained his independence, because he
would have stood on the broad American
platform. When, however, in the proyi-
dence of God, General Taylor died. and
Willard Fillmore became President he, ap.
parently for the first time, was seized with
an overweening desire for office, the fatal
disease of seeking to be candidate for the
presidential nomination, and that mo-
ment' he did close his independence"
But for this he would have continued the

4 GRAVE MISTAKE.

The national House of Representatives,
Monday, made a grave mistake. A mis-
take in comparison which all others would
have paled into utter insignilcance. They
had their opportunity and neglected to i'm
prove it. Prompt action then, like charity
would have covered a multitude Of sins. Ii
is surprising that such a body of men as
compose the American Congress could have
made such mistake-it was worse than q
crime, it was blunder. We look for men
of more intelligence and ability in Con
gress than are to be found in our state leg
isature, and we know that they are there.
Our Legislature is composed of the "persons
most noted for wisdom and virtue" This
is not mere guess work, we know it. Don't
the constitution say that the legislature
shall be so composed, and dives there man
who dare insnuate that we don't always

1hc abuses gradually creeping into ,bc
mlnlgcmen, OF public affairs arc rendered
only the more apparent by the presentation
OF bill in the House of Representatives,
on Monday prohibiting the use of horses
and vehicles, owned by government, for
private purposes in Washington. The in-
PRODUCTION of such bill two years ago
would have been looked upon with surprise
by the country and, probably have been
considered az mean and unwarraniablc
attack upon the administration The dis
closures of the winter have, however,
mainly in connection with an unwise and
unfortunate nomination for chief Justice
prepared the country for its introduction
and convinced them of its necessity. This
abuse, which it is proposed to remedy, is
one Of long standing, ante-datng the
present administration, and had, it is prob
able, its origin in some real or supposed
necessity of the public service 1t has now
been carried to such ~ extent that it must
be stopped. The idea that the government
should purchase and own horses, carriages,
etc., fol the exclusive individual and family
Use Of an official is seemingly preposlerous,
hut to this extent the abuse has been car
ried. 1t has grown up from a small matter
to its present proportions, and unless IL is
throttlcd now, it will undermine the IN.
tegrity of more than one public man.

rectitudc, when winked at, are the danger
Gus steps. From this point, the gradations
are easy and sure, though they may be
gradual. While we all regret the necessity
of such legislation, it is far better than that
the abuse should be unchecked.

= Parliamentary Committee Gues-
t,nn

a new feature has appeared i'll connec-
ton with the district investigation. On
Thursday Senator Carpenter Vice Presi-
den! pre- toa. appointed Senator Stewart
to be chairman Of the committee in place
Of Coy Boutwell,, excused Shortly after
the committee assembled the point seems
to haye been made by Senator Thurman
that il was not competent for the Vice
President pro tan. to appoint chairman of
that committee, and that in case of va
cancy lac could only appoint an additional
member Of the committee, III which event
the person standing next should be chair
man. The proceedings Of the investiga-
ton were directly postponed and no evil
dcnce was taken.
The committee for the most of the day
were in close consultation as to the point
raised concerning the craftsmanship. 1t is
quite unprecedented for Thurman TO take
such action. He practically asks the re-
publican two-thirds majority in both
branches Of Congress to appoint the leader
of the Bourbon democracy chairman of a
joint committee Of investigation. 1t is not
competent for the committee, being Joint
committee to elect chairman, as there are
but three Senators on the committee, tive
of whom are republicans. If the Senate
portion Of the joint committee select {

able that the Senate will be obliged to set

TRIAL or A New LOCOMOTIVE SPARK
CONDUCTOR. Monday morning the new
smoke conductor, the invention OF Thomas
De Codezo, which has been attached to To-
connective -. NJ, Craver' on the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga railroad and which was made
at the company's shops on Green Island,
was tried in the presence of the inventor,
II \ Pounds, a Troy Press reporter, and
several gentlemen prominently connected
with the road 1t worked to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned. The steam bell
ringer, which is also attached to the steam
engine, was tried and worked TO a charm.
The pipes for the new conductor, which
are twelve inches in diameter, have been
placed through two of the cars, and the
train will be shortly tested and there is nc
doubt that it will work all right. The pipe
is made of wrought iron and Is forty eight
inches in diameter in front of the engine SC
as to get a draft and gradually become
smaller until it reaches the cars, where i
is twelve inches in diameter The whole
length OF pipe from the engine through thu
cars will be about 100 feet. The plans fol
