obtained possession OF It valuable mmug
property ina Colorado by procuring tho re-

the contemplated .oilurc. aud tn appoint

to support their claims to property winch.
rs the courts had decided, belonged to
other parties who had long been in POSSES
sion Of the same. There have been good
many scandalous disclosures lately in re-
gard to the manner in which the White
House Influence has been used for the
emolument OF friends and relatives Of tn
President but we do not know Of any thing
that has yet INSPIRED which has an ug-
Her look than this shamcful transaction.
The Pelican Mining Company had for
several years been working with great
profit u silver lode on one side of Demo-
cratic Mountain, near Georgetown, in COL
orado. The Dives Company. which had
begun operations on the other side Of the
eame mountain, ran what was called u
ofbfs-ful INTO iut Ncln DtlNnEltiR 10 lnt
Pelican Company, and then set up nm alb
surd claim that they were entitled to One
half the lode. OF course the courts decided
against the intrudcrs, who fhcreupon So
cured the assistance of II, II. llONoRn, the
fnthcT-in-law of FRrD GRANT, and of Scua-
tor LOGAN, who secured the removal OF
Judge BELFoRD, then Justice Of the dis

value OF 100000 was distributed between
Bcuator LoGAN, FHED GRANT, aud lIoNoRE,
IN order Ia secure the removal of Judge

property which is IN litigation. Even if
this is true, the improprloty Of his conduct

The Lee,.lntnrc and the Lohhy.

The approaching session OF the Lcgisa-
ture il likely to afford abundant occasion
for testing the merits of two of the most
stringent of the recent amendments to our
State Constitution. should IT prove other
wise, then New York will have reached
the borders Of such political millennium.
that we might perhaps get along without
any Constitution mt all.
We refer to what is known as Article
XIV. II provides in substance that any
official person who. except III payment Of
his salary. shall receive or consent to re-
ceive directly or indirectly. anything OF
vnlur or OF personal advantage, for per-
forming or emitting to perform any official
act, shall be deemed guilty of u felony. II
further provides that any person who
shall offer or promise TO bride an officer
shall he deemed guilty of "a felony, whether
the hrih bc received or refused. In prose
BUTTONS against the officer, 1t compels the
person offering the bride to testify, but
exenpt> him from punishment If ne tells
the truth. II makes IT the duty OF Dis
trict Attorneys to prosecute all cases
brought to their notice, subject to removal
from office 10y the COY eruor if they neglect
lheir duty.
The bane Of our LEGISLATURE fur the past
twenty YEAR has been corrupt lobby.
This lobby has been rs thoroughly organ
lied ut every session rs the Legisla ure It.
self. Indeed, it, organization has been
more complete and efficient than that OF
the Legislature, for it has had sort of
permanent existence from year TO year
a l. 4.
ing the recess as well n IN the session.
The amendments to which we have re-
ferred. together with those against bribery
at the elections, We're intended mainly to
purify and elevate the Leg stature, and
more particularly to drive out the chiefs
OF the lobby or lodge them in the state
prison. The question now l. whether or
not these amendments shall become dead
letter If, at the close OF the approaching
session, We could see. say cooplc of SEN
ators and half a dozsu A-scmblymcn, ana
three well known lobby chleftains, on the
way to Sing sing or Auburn it would do
more to purify Albany than can Toe done
In any other way. That there will bc
ample opportunity for testing the strength
OF these amendments this winter, nobody
doubts. The faces Of the three men who
constitute the head, the middle and the tail
Of the lobby are a- familiar t. those who
visit Tho state Capitol as are any of the IA
nous portraits that adorn H. walls. Let
them Ice detected. tired, and sent say to

; auding all the drawbacks % trade, IL
appeare, 20 far g. We can determine 10y
statistics, that the actual consumption
of cotton during the past twelve months
has gone, certainly 10000, and possibly
400, 900 bales, ahead Of production" The
expectation expressed above Of large
workman's strike has proved correct; at
Oldham, alone, only six out Of hun
drrd aud siXty-twO CottOn.mills re-
manned 1t work. TIE result Of all these
circumstances upon the opening Of the

anxious ana careful consideration. Our

very low prices. lit prove so the south
