~Itis little unexpected to find
what an immense fund OF information, on
the subject Of prayer, is possessed by
men who perhaps never prayed since
they have been old enough to swear.
And il We could believe them sincere,
it would be a hopeful sign to see SO
many alarmed lest PRAYER be pros.itutcd,
who have scoffed at prayer all their

vThe Boston Globe, an Admins

lukewarmness regarding public affairs,
but it comes from widespread discon-
tent and dissatisfaction with the pres

Transcript says that "the Republicans
owe their defeat chiefly to the fact that
it is matter Of impossibility for any
party to achieve success with its nom
ihal adherents at Washington supplying
such damaging facts against them. =

since, to comment on the shillv-shally-
ing, backing and filing, ram .at-the. gate
post manner in which Congress attempts
to fight the corrupsionists. No fairer
example Of their vacilation has been Of.
sorded than is now exhibited in the pre-
tended investigation Of the District Of
Columbia Rings.
When the names OF THURMAN, BoUr.
WELL, JEwErr and WILsoS appeared in
the committee appointed for that inves
tigation, there was general feeling that
there would be neither partisan malice
nor white washing in the proceedings
that their report would be accepted by
all parties as conclusive.
When the Committee was ready to
take testimony, they asked for small
appropriation to pay witness fees and
other Incidental expenses. Bat by this
time the nature Of the charges to be in
vestigatcd, and the standing and charac-
ter of the men involved, had become
known, and the alarm was sounded. The
result is that the appropriation must be
delayed until it is ascertained whether or
not the party is likely to be seriously
damaged. m III
The withdrawal OF BOUTWELL, from the
Committee was made the occasion of an
other backward step. STEWART, OF Ne
vads, whose reputation needs perfuming,
was appointed to fill the vacancy. He
had before this made speech or two, in
which be had defended the very rings to
be inquired into, and declared, substan-
TALLY, that they we're not guilty.
This peculiar specimen Of an investi-
gator was not only placed on the com
mittee, but was foisted in the position of
Chairman. by the presiding officer OF the
Senate. The Committee, being joint
one, denied the right Of that officer TO
appoint its Chairman, and resented the
impertinencc by appointing Chairman
OF its own choosing.
The ring thus far have gained all the
advantages They scared Boutwell, of
the Committee, they got one OF their
champions on. and they have caused to
be withheld the appropriation indisper-
sable to any investigation worthy Of the
| name if- f7 q
While We would not willingly believe
that a majority Of Congressman are cor
rupt, it is too plain to admit of doub,
that they have not the moral courage to
lay bare the rascalities of their party
friends While they show spasmodic
symptoms of exposing dishonesty, they
shrink with alarm s. soon as it is found
as is too often the easel that some high
official or other intimate friend of the
President is implicated
The rings are on the alert,and as soon
as these timid symptoms appear, they
raise the cry OF disaster to the party
the investigation is thwarted, and cor
ruption shouts over another victory.
We repeat what we have often before
repeated: That the only way to secure
the unearthing OF these frauds and pee
ulations, is to retire the party which
shows tha. it's interests lie in concealing
them, and 10 place in power party
whose interest it will be to expose ant
PUNISH them, and to compel restitution
of the millions Of money wrongiully ia
ken.

this noble order constituting the bone and
sinuc OF our social system. and embracing
within its fold the spirit of patriotism that
animated our foreiathers in their efforts to
give to future generations a free Republican
government, should take charge of this mat
ter, and revive custom which our people,
ir the hurry and excitelnent OF business af-
fairs, have allowed to degenerate and pass
into history as thing of the past. Ameri-
can holidays have been always resticted. as
compared with other countries, and we think
that this one day, above all others, should
BE- the synonym for patriotic demonstrations in
every city, town and hamlet.of America. We
shall be glad to see the old custom OF cele-
brating this day revived here in the Rocky
Mountains. and no class or society could
give moro zcst to such occasion. or infuse
more patriotic spirit into a celebration OF the
day than the hardy farmers, the honest yeo-
manry Of our county, whose very avOcation
is suggestive OF liberty. Our whole people
will give their aid and encouragement to the
project, and it is sale to say that the great
day of American Independence will receive
a new baptism in patriotic devotion from tie
people of Gallatin Valley.
