The present Legislature of Massachusetts
has detected number of delinquencies in
the performance Of duties OF magistrates and
district attorneys. Few magistrates have
returned anything since 1853 1.-THE beginning
of the age of corruplicn) for unclaimed fees
of officers and witnesses. And yet the dis.
trict attorneys have outbcroded the magi$.
trates in Withholding and appropriatipg to
themselves forfeited recognizauces. In ten
years receipts from this source ran up as
high as $4,000 and ISL, $50 in two counties,
while from some there are no returns. The
sums returned varied from S237 10 six, and
twelve, and fifteen thousand, and so on. We
had expected better things OF Massachusetts.
1t is bad when the magiStraey of State be-
come corrupt. The danger is that the people
themselves in that case are well leavened with
very bad lcaren.

Meantime the poor people OF Spain are the

The subject is beginning to be discussed
with reference to these points. People sex

and his passengers to be murdered. IL u

now be turned 10 growing anger, anu pre-
pare for hostilit;es with the Spaniards.
Such inconsistency and hypocrisy may wei
break down all confidence in the Govern
ment. How fearful it is that the Government
of this country is in such incompetent banus
1t is we'll suspected that the Spanish pohcS
is mere ruse to create a diversion IN Idle
country-to withdraw the minds OF the peo
ple from reflection upon their suh"rings ano

trick. II is in conformity with the general
policy Of the Radical party, which suooroi'
mates the country to their interests. Inc
whole power Of the Government bias since
the war been altogether devoted to the main
tenance Of Radical supremacy.

The Defeat of Chandler.

Senator CHANDLER, of Michigan, is not q
loyable man. His own party did not dote
on him. President GRANT might have felt
the ties of boon companonship towards him
from sympathy of habit and passion between
the two. Possibly the President might
have been "hurl" little at his defeat, as
he was when poor HENRY" as MORTON
STYLED the Wall-street gambler CLEws)
failed. That hurt him, and there is no tell.
ing how much CHASDLEK's retirement Affect
ed him. CHANDLER was "hoWler," as
they are called, in the United States Senate.
Nobody could do anything that was in.
spired by prejudice and hate towards the
South that be did not approve. Lie had
TuAD. SrEvESs's malignity, LoGAN's power
Of lungs, and GRANTS capacity for drinking
and smoking. He did all that GRANT and
LOGAN could, and treasured malice as devo-
tcdly and tenaciously us STEVENS himself
ever did. Such man could not Inspire the
kindly feelings Of people outside of the
monstrous class of which be was member.
Therefore, ZACHARIAH CHANDLER, of Mchi.
gan, falls with the regrets of only few, and
those not-.not by u jusful-of the better
class OF society. 1t has been said OF him that
be was Il rough man, not fitted by disposition
or requirements to be Il statesman that he
was naturally 4 swaggcrer and bully. 1t is
added by one discreet thinner of character
that iu politics he was simply an intrguer;
Sin lcgislation.and State craft, a bluuGerer
.'and ischief-maker.' 1t helps to purify
the air when such person Withdraws, ard
it is a national blessing that he is consigned
10 private life.
Yet, let us not be too sharp on sold
ZACH" /: Is true his well maintained roar

there to lie irlitatcd. He was of a coarse ns-
ture, and behaved with a rudeness belonging
to his kind; but, nevertheless, there were
Others of meeker dcmeauor, a more gentle
grace, and lighter football, who bad just Us

him for his bowling, frem whose echoes
through he forest they protted in their pur-

just as honest, rs they are. CHANDLER leaves
behind him no rougher and ruder man, but
he bids farewell TO more than one person
whose departure from the Senate would be
happier event for the Union than even that
of the defeated "Oid lack"
1t is nevertheless blessing, for which We
should feel profoundly thankful that the
Michigan senator-the hating and hated
CuASDLEE-wi!l be no more heard in the
United States Senate.
His successor-Judge ISAAC p. CHRISTIAN

who know him to be man of upright char

triumph to society. Compared with "Old

A Good Hit.

In the debate on the Civil Rights
bill, in the House of Repres sentatives,
Mr.. Cain, a colored member from
South Carolina put in the following
good-natured but telling hit at the
Southern White Leaguers, which
brought down the House:
Mr.. Cain Rep) of South Carolina,
advocated the bill, and sneered at
the idea of there being being bad
blood between the races at the South,
when statistics showed that there
were over 1, 100000 mulattoes in the
country. That was not much evi-
dence of lad blood. Laughter Il
the negroes would only cease to be
Republicans and would vote the
straight out Democratic ticket there
would be no bad blood between them.
AS to social equality, he decided it 6
bugbear. "Why," said he, "do you
suppose that I would introduce into
my family the class of white mer
whom 1 see in the country? Do you
suppose so for one moment? Why
sir, there are men who occupy places
on this floor for whom 1 have grea
respect, and yet 1 should be careful
how 1 should introduce them to my
family. CLaughter.] 1 should bt
afraid that their old habits acquired
beyond Mason and Dixon's line NIGH
return and with great dramatic ei
feet stir up bad blood"

A Gard from General Kilpat-
rick,

SPRINGFIELD, O., February 19, 1875.
To the Editor of the Enquirer:
I seldom notice attacks made on
me by correspondents of the press
certainly never when 1 alone suffer
from such attacks-but since your
correspondent, W. P. H, of Wash
ington c. H., o., evidently intended
to injure the Lecture Committees at
the towns where 1 am to speak, as
well as SANDER me, ask the priv
lege of replying to his article through
the columns of your paper. l pass
over the first Infamous insinuation of
w. P. H. with the same contemptu-
GUS silence that I should its author
if CHANGED to meet him, and come
directly to his second query and the
conclusions at which he arrives:
'tNoT1cE.-Maior-G Kilpat-
rick will lecture at Washington G. H.,
March 5th, 1875. Subject: Scenes
and Incidents of the Rebellion Al
so at Bloomington, March 9th, 1875.
Subject: 'Sherman's March to the
Sea-"
Such was the notice that met the
astonished gaze of your correspon-
dent, W. P. H., of Washington.
"Who is Fitzpatrick" he exclaims
Oh, he recollects; he is fortunate; he
can read, he has read the newspapers
he forgets the war, but remembers
the Republic of Chill, something
about woman, and the name of Xii,
patrick; he reads again and repeats to
himself: incidents and battle
scenes of the Rebellion; Sherman's
march to the Sea-" A thought strikes
him-he becomes alarmed; consterna
ton seizes him-"COnaiag eUent,
cast their shado'oS before" he cries
and off rushes W. p. H., of Washing
ton G. H., O., to sound the alarm
"Will Fitzpatrick and his sort never
give us a rest on this war business?'
is his first exclamation.
Conundrum. I give itup. I have
read "there is no rest for the wicked.
And then he adds: "Are we always
to cry peace! peace! yet have nc
peace?" Not if he cries 'ipeace
peace .| and yet means ,odr. 'Is the
iackal become the prototype Of
Americans, that will not let oul
dead rest in their graves, but must
