THE PALLADIUM


We have frequently alluded to
Mayor Elders financial efforts-his
500 salary grab, that he voted into
his own capacious pocket-his map
speculation, where he obtained an ad-
vertisement for his bookstore, and
made the city pay for it and his maps
&c. These incidents go to show his
executive ability to remarkable ex-
tent; but they sink into insignifcance
with the engineering attempted on
last Tuesday night week, by and
through his able and adroit manage
ment. The fact of its failure does not
detract from his peculiar talent of an
able and accomplished 6nancier, in
the least. Like another prominent
Democrat, circumstances over which
he had no control, interfered. The
lack of success was not his fault;
hence. he should receive none the
less credit for the financial plot. We
are bold to aver that even our erudite
City Attorney would, if motion was
properly made in the Council, give it
as his legal opinion that .sHE (the
Mayor deserves credit for HER plans
their failure to the contrary not
withstandingr
1t happened in this wise: THE
Council, at former meeting, instruct
ed the City Clerk to issue notices to
the different proprietors of the print
ing Offices, for SOME MORE sealed
proposals 1.-two other attempts hav-
ing failed. 1t will also be recollected,
that at the second effort, Elders Free
Press, was the ONLY ONE that put in
an appearance in the salary line.
Now, what does the Mayor do. but
conclude that, peradventure, no one
of the publishers of newspapers, ex-
cepting HIS sheet, would again ask for
the city printing; so he fixes out TWO
BIDS, and gives them to one of
his employees, with instructions to
watch and watt (like Valandigham
did over the border until he was sure
there was no bid in, and then, and in
that case, present the HIGHEST bid
made out and ready for use; but if the
Clerk announced that there were 9TH
er bids, then to seal up the LOWEST
bid and present that. The sequel is
told:
The Mayors agent waited until the
Clerk annouaced that bids from the
different Offices were on the table, and
then, and not until then, did the
faithful employe lick the envelope en-
closing the lowest bid that the Mayor
had made out for his delectible sheet,
and handed it in! We admire SUCH
sealed proposals ''-they are excru-
tiatingly fair and Elder-like.

not possess financial ability of the
first wateri!!!

Renenl or the Gravel Road Law.

The Legislature, in special special
session in May, 1869. passed care
fully prepared act providing for the
construction of gravel, plank, and
macadamized roads. The principal
feature of the act was the assessment
of benefits on lands lying within one
and one-half miles of the roads to be
constructed. 1t was held that the ex-
pense of making and maintaining
roads should be met by those directly
interested. and that, in addition to the
| advantages of good thoroughtares, the
enhanced value of property would in
some degree reimburse the outlay.
The act was deemed one of great inn
portancc, and its passage was hailed
with satisfaction throughout the State,
especially in the rural districts.
Thereafter it was hoped the country
would be we'll provided with first class
highways, and that farmers would
never more suffer because of impassa-
bic roads and utter inability to get
their produce into market. In truth.
many good roads have been made
since the law was passed, and com
munities have been materially bene-
fitted. This excellent law, however.
has been repealed. Without note of
warning or time for winding up unfin
ished business nvOlving the outlay of
large sums of money. the act has been
swept from the statute books, and
those who are interested, citizens In
nearly every township in the State,
must close up contracts, submit to
grieyous disappointments and serious
losses, as best they may. In some
counties roads of from ten to twenty
miles in length have been partially
constructed, assessments have been
collected where the roads are unfin
ished, and have not been paid where
they have been put in excellent order;
nevertheless, the Legislature deemed
the making of good highways under
the law of 1869 matter of 10 conse
auence. and with reckless disregard OF
the public interests, under declaration
OF emergency, it repealed the law aud
left the people with a mass of unfin
ished work and scores of unsettled as
sessments, as sad reminders of legis
lative inefHciency.-Ind.J journal.

Clusters Expedition.

1t is is still fresh in the public mind
with what savageness and unanlmlty
the Democratic press denounced Gus
ter's expedition into the Black Hills
country, made by order Of General
Sheridan last summer. True to their
policy Of denouncing everything done
by the government, without regard to
the quality or purpose of the act, this
expedition of Clusters was stigmatized
as unauthorized unlawful, a gross
violation of Indian rights. wanton
waste of money, a mere pleasure ex
cursion, deliberate plan to bring on
an Indian war. etc. Now it turns out
that the expedition had definite and
wise object In his letter concerning
the Black Hills. published in the In
dianapolis Journal of Saturday, Gen
eral Sheridan says:
Two years ago it became apparent
to me that military post in the
Black Hills of Cheyenne would soon
become necessary for the proper pro.
lection of the settlements in Nebraska
from raids of the Sioux warrioss, who
always, before they commenced depre-
dations on the frontier, secured safe
place for their families and villages in
the locality mentioned. Believing
that these Indians would never make
war on our settlements as long as We
could threaten their families and viii
lagos in this remote locality, abound
ing in game and all that goes to make
Indian life comfortable, and with this
purely military object in view, the or
der was given for Clusters reconnois-
saHce.
So it transpires that the expedition
was purely military" one, made
with the definite purpose Of recon
nOitering an enemy country and pro-
'tecting the frontiers 1t was very dis
respectful in General Sheridan not to
take the Democratic papers into his
confidence before ordering the recon
noisance; but then they would have
had one subject less to howl about.

by Mr.. Coffin On the evening of March
21st. enjoining a more close eonnec-

teachings of Christianity. Having
noticed the manner in which the ed
itor of the Telegram was pleased to
notice the labors of Mr.. Coffin, by
disparaging those whose lives have
been devoted to the same good cause.

their hearers the same practical views

readers that the road our friend
Coffin is travelling, Is the old, old
road, "blazed' out by Christ and his
apostles, aud, as said last week, ALL
our Christian ministers in Richmond
were as assiduously engaged travelling
therein as he was, and we deprecated
so invidious a distinction, where all
were on the same plane-engaged in
the same work of reform, and where,
too, such practical teaching was so
much needed.

many protested Christians at the pres
ent time are not thoroughly honest.
There are, even among those who pro-
fess higher Christian life, some who
could not safely be credited even to a
small extent, and who, in their deal
ings. are not reliable. Some ministers
of the Gospel who have attained de-
gree of eminence are very careless
about meeting their obligations, and
pursuing a strictly honest course
Such instances have sad effect upon
the world. and tend to bring. great
discredit, not only on the indiviuals
themselves, but on the name Of
Christian,-andy yet they do not prove
that honesty is not an essential pari
of Christianity, and the invariable re.
