Current Notes.

The Boston Post thinks the reason the
Beecher trial was adjourned over Monday
was because G. ". never told lie.
Mr.. Conkling is right, at last, in this, that
the Democratic leaders remind one of bum
die of contradictions, and represent book of
negations. s.-Louisville COurier-JOurnaL
We heard a keen-sighted social philosopher
assert the other day, that the rapid physical
deterioration of the New Englanders as race
might be dated from the time when they
gave up cider and the hearty good-living
which it typifies, and took to tea and mental
pabulum instead. The Massachusetts farm
er in Endicott' time ate his four meals day,
measured six feet two in his stockings, read
the Bible, and died, believing it, at four score
and ten. Nowadays he has cut down his ap-
pie orchards, starves at home, and sells the
last cleaning of wheat to educate his son at
Cambridge, finds his religious speculatons in
Emerson, until his lean body, being too tired
to work longer, goes down to death to prove
the truth of these speculations at the untime-
ly age of fifty-five.-N. Y. Tribune.
Further particulars of the Washington sui
eide by leaping from the dome OF the capitol
to the roof below say that 'brains were scat
tered all over the building" This proves
that the poor fellow died before his time. lie
should have waited till the meeting of tie
next congress, when brains will be sadly
needed all over the building. Post.
. The people elected the Democrats to carry
out these promises and pledges, and we think
they ought to have the fullest and earliest op-
portunity to begin the work. We think that
strict justice, and proper respect for the ex-
pressed will OF the people, demand that the
present Congress shall pass joint resolution
providing that the next congress shall begin
iIs session on the 5th of March, 1875. If the
Democrats honestly carry out the measures
and redeem the pledges upon which the peo-
pie elected them, then the whole country is
entitled to have the promised blessings at the
earliest possible moment. If, on the contrary,
the Democratic party has no purpose to re-
deem its promises, and its programme was a
fraud, as is generally suspected, then the
country has a right to know this fact before
the next elections.-Chicago Tribune.

AN old prediction made by Lord Shelburne
is just now attracting considerable attention,
and is of interest in the light of recent events.
Lord Shelburpe astonished Mr.. Laurens, one
day, by saying that he was sorry for his
Uaurens') people. Being asked why, he re-
piled that they would lose the habeas corpus.
Pressed for further explanation of his
meaning, he said: eve purchased it with
centuries Of wranglng, many years OF fighting,
and had it confirmed by at least fifty acts of
Parliament. All this taught the nation its
value, and it so ingrained into their creed, as
the very foundation of their liberty, that no
man or party will ever dare trample on ~
Your people will pick it up and attempt to use

WE knew that the Democracy were divided
on the currency question, we were aware
that they were not as one as regards free
trade, but we did think that they were
united in support of the dogma of ''home
rule" and that they agreed as to its mterpre-
tation. But it appears that we were mis-
taken. The fathers of ''home-rule," the
learned doctors who have been expounding
the dogma on the platform and in the press,
tie Statesmen" who have proclaimed it as
the panacea for The ills of the body polite,
fail to agree as to its meaning, and are fierce
ly quarreling as TO its application. The fight
has broken out in New York. Mayor Wick
ham and Tammany Hall construe it to mean
the power to plunder New York at their own
sweet will, to make vacancies in fat offices
and fill them with hungry patriots, TO gov
ern the city unrestrained by state authority.
Governor Tiden does not seem to be quite
clear as to the meaning of home rule, but is
very sure that it doesn't mean the power to
plunder the city of New York under the
forms of local self-government. Really these
Democrats agree upon nothing except the
desirability of getting into public office.

The sworn testimony Of Commissioner

however, be overlooked.

Douglass to revoke an order OF great
value and importance, as it subsequent
ly has turned out, in q matter entirely
