AlPeNA WEEKLY ARGUS.
Wednesday, AprH s, 1874.
The New York World gets Sena-

tor Morton in tight place thus:
believe that taking 100000
from the Eastern States and giving
il to the West and South would
disorganize business, would pro-
duce panics and disasters" says
Senator Morton How can this
be, upon Mr.. Morton's principals :
The West is a new country, and
new countries, the Senator tells us,
can stand the douche of sudden
imitation with equanimity. The
Eastern States are an old country,
and the theories of political econ
omy applicable to old countries
apply there. 1t is an inferance
from those theories that the only
cure for a deprecated currency is
contraction. Hence, contraction
being good for the East, that Sec
ton will prosper by q withdrawal
of currency, and imitation being
good for the South and West, those
sections will profit by having the
withdrawn currency soused upon
them. But then, as Mr.. Morton
says, "the great curse of our fin
ance to-day is theory and the
Senator may not be willing to have
his own fantastic doctrines reduced
to practice.

hand, sectional interests and the
moneyed and other oppressive
monopolies are strengthened, then
the people viii reject it as they
should DO.
/ On the temperance question the
Marshall Statesman says;
AS the natural outgrowth of the
present excitement on the temper
ance question, the prohibitionists
revive the effort to place a third
party in the field, to be known as
the temperance party. Experience
ought to teach the inadvisability of
such a course. Wherever the at
tempt has been made it has met
with failure. We do not include
in that statement all petty offices,
but apply it generally. In this
county the vote cast for a temper
ance candidate was nearly double
the majority of the Democratic
candidate. The movement has
been unsuccessful in the various
places in this State, where it has
been tried. Although members
of both political parties may be
earnest friends of the temperance
cause, enough cannot be induced
to sever their connection with the
party of their choice to create an
effective party. The question of
temperance cannot become the
basis of concerted political action.
The Monroe Monitor has the
following as to the work Of the
Legislature:
Our State Legislature has
adjourned. It's chief business was
10 increase salaries, this we believe
is fixed in the Constitution, from
fear that a seperate submission 20
the people would be defeated. The |
only question we believe to be sub
mitted separately is woman's suff-
rage. Prepare your ballots yes or
no. If the members had acted
wisely and for the public good the
liquor traffic question would have
been fairly submitted to the people
10 decide between prohibition or
license.
The st. Louis Herald says there
S very little probability that the
lew Constitution will receive
majority vote by the people of the 4
state. Many of its provisions, I
unlimited separately, would doubt ;
ess carry. Several other impor- :
ant ones would as doubtless be y
oted down. n

The District Investigation.

IL is not alone the people OF tn,
District of Columbia who have al
interest in the investigation into
the management of the affairs o.
the District, now in progress, un-
der the direction of Congression-
al Committee. The appropriations
which have been from time to time
made by Congress for public works
in the District, and for improve
meuts around government proper
ty made by the Board of Public
Works, have been drawn from the
public revenues and have constitute
ed a general charge. Therefore if
the government has been defrauded
by means of over-charges and false
measurements, for public work
done in the District by the Board
of Public Works, it is matter Of
general public interest that such
facts be assertained. 1t is unnec-
essary TO discuss whether it were
possible for the government to be
swindled if, first all officers whose
duty it was to certify measurements
and inspect and improve the work
of the Board were faithful in the
discharge thereof; and, secondly,
if Congress made no appropriation
for the District until il was shown
that the expenditure to cover
which it was made was authorized [.
and in accordance with law. This .
is not the question before the in
vestigating committee. The ques-
ton is, whether the claims present
ed to and paid by Congress were
just and regular. In the consider
alton of this it is the committees
duty to inquire into all the facts in
the case, and we are glad to see
that in strict accordance with this
it has determined to test the COR
rectness Of the measurements
submitted by the Board and ap-
proved by the Government engi- /
neers, of whom General Babcock |
was the chef. If the action of the
Board and its subordinates, as well
as of the government engineers,
who inspected the work done
under the direction of the District
authorities, has been entirely
disconnected from fraud or chica-
merry of any kind-if there have
been no false and fraudulent esti-
mates-if the government has only
paid for work which was authorized
and only Paid a reasonable compen-
sation-the investigation, in this
respect at least, can only rebound
to the credit of Governor Shepherd
and his associates, and they have
nothing to fear. If the result
should be their vindication it will
be conceded that they have been
most wofully belied; but for their
vindication or condemnation, and
in order that the public may Judge
Understandings concerning the
matters at Issue in which they have.
it might be said, direct pecuniary
interest, thorough investigation is
absolutely necessary.-Ffee Pres.

Notes Of tho Press.
The Lansing Journal saws

The Lansing Journal says:
The Legislature adjourned on
Saturday week. 1t is very doubt
full if the Constitution they have
submitted will be regarded as an
improvement on the whole to the
present one. The pay of the Leg
islature is raised to four dollars per
day, and the salaries raised all
around. The Governor is to have
$4,000, and the State officers g.
800 and 1000. We believe the
people will regard these salaries
too high these panicky times. The
proposition to prohibit free railroad
passes TO State officers and men,
bers of the Legislature was repeat
eddy voted down with contempt
and contuinely.
The BARREN county Record says
OF the new Constitution:
The matter should be thoroughly
discussed before the day for voting
thereon. 1t is no small matter to
adopt radical changes in the or
ganic law OF our State, except
there be the most abundant and
clear reasons therefor. II the
work Of the Commission or Of the
Legislature shall prove to be what
the growing interests of our State
demand, we haveno doubt but the
wisdom Of the people will indorse
their action. Bu; il, on the 9th =

1t was while Adrien LIE Couvreur was
driving Paris wild with admiration, that Vol
taire sat for his portrait to Largilliere. The
painter came TO his task at Voltare's apart
ment. 1t was during one of these sittings
that young girl went to ask for the poet.
She was so young and beautiful, that as she
stood on the threshold Voltaire, without a
thought of the painter, rose to his feet saying,

childs embarrassed gaze like an admiration
point. She looked at the painter, and said
trembingly. 81 wish to speak to M. De Vol
taire." The painter, charmed at the vision
as well as the poet, cried, 81 shall not op-
po your doing so," and concluded the
seauce The girl wore a dress that had once
been pretty, but was then faded and worn,
and looked like an angel shrned in poverty.
