The following from the l. aiding Repub-
lican paper of the country, the New York
Times, has the truthful and digpifed ring
of an average Democratic editorial. "rhe
demsgogues and sdventurers." to whom
the Times refers, can not be ether than
such men as Morton. Conkling, Chandler
and the administration ring who are as
silent a. the grave over the disgrsceful
&C of the president:
Hardly less Inc xplicsble than the conduct
of the president is the passive attitude OF
these who are entitled to be considered
leaders of the Republican party in the
presence of occurrences which iDjuriously
affect its interests. The demagogues and
adventures who 70 I'VE fastened themselves
up Il II, evidently do not hesitate in their
approaches to the president, and in their
u of the IN fuence they have unfortunately
acquired. They have, probably, nothing
TO 90 With the determination to drive out o
The departments the friends and assistants
OF those who have incurred the presidents
displeasure. But il is impossible to over
look the tact that the infiuoncs posse ssed
Is in inverse ratio to merit, and that sena-
tors and representa- ives who really enjoy
the respect OF their party, and might tair y
claim to speak in its behslfs witness III
silence the working OF a policy which their
indgm MIS- musL condemn. Ii is Bluford
Wilson's revelation over again. Toe
president gives a tree rein to personal feel
ing, aud it carries BIN so far that his mo-
tiYts are susceptible of q most uniavorable
construe ion. he yields in OLner re-
specIs to the sscendeDcy OF individuals
" no are unworthy OF his regard. Aud
he withholds from others, whose char
scter should impsrt weight to their coun-
sci, the consideration that would enable
them TO avert the plumbers we are d y
at er day called upon TO record. Tue en-
forced resignation of Mr.. Jewell was, in
the same manner, a shock to correct
ideas of public duty, and OF the relations
which the head OF an important depart
lnent sustsins to the country. The changes
now going on in the postal service show
| that the indignation excited by the
prescription of faithful and able Of
heals simply because they had earned
Mr.. Bristow's confidence has been IN
needed. The post flee department. is
| to lose men against wnom no complaint is
preferred, because they were appOintees OF
| Mr.. Jewell, and had acquired his respect.
| The removal of Col. Wharton, district at
torney for Kentucky, apparently to crafty
| the spite If u member OF Congress who
voted against the resolution condemnatory
| of q third term, Is another incioeut of the
same humilia5ing character. The whole
series OF circumstances seem to prove that
| the PRESIDENT clipgs to his mistaken con-
| ceptlon of the important trust involved in
the exercise of patronage, and OF the obi
cations he is under to the party and the
people.

Mary Clemmer Ames complains that
smoking is done in the chamber of the
House of Representatives,, and that the
splitting of tobacco juice on the carpet is
common. "rhe pale blue carpet" she
says, in the Independent, It's about as
soiled as stable fl ,or. I walked through
it, when 1t was empty, the other morning,
and was astonished, not at the number OF
spittoons, but that they had rarely been
used; that tobacco guilds stained the deli
cate tiDis OF the carpet, and that the plies
of debris had been swept into the corners.
A nsstier place would be difficult to i'm.
agine. Even the outside porIic, and steps
are furnished with these detestable recep-
tscles in vain, while the entire surface OF
the steps of the great msrole wings are q

The reader will naturally inquire why
this alarming increase OF expenses has
taken place, and what has been the occs-
sion OF this annual expenditure OF bur-
dred millions OF money more than the
Democrats expended.
This increase alone Is eaough to pay the
interest on the whole national debt but IL
has been led and an additional hundred
millions per year has been wrestsd from
the people to pay this interest. One wou d
naturally conclude that since the people

self Seward, on State policy. As the argu.
ment grew contentious. Seward declared that
il the conduct the war was to be trificd will,
by the appeals for humanity he should go out
of the Cabinet and use his influence
against the President, and should charge
him with being in sympathy with the
South. Lincoln yielded and Beal was executed.
The reaction to Lincoln nervous system was
such that for days he was far from well.
The effect on Booth was terrible. He raved
like mailman; and IN his frenzy sworc that
Lincoln and Seward should both pay for the
grief and agony he had been put to. From
the death of Beal. Booth brooded vengeance
for that which he considered personal af-
front. His rage took in Seward, and he en-
gagged Harold, Atserodt, and others to avenge
Beal's death by killing Seward, while he,
Booth, wreaked human vengeance on the
President.
AT last came the hour. Booth killed Lin
coin. His friends and relatives or avengers Of
Beal tried their best to kill Seward, and when
they left him stabbed, bleeding, and limp as a
cloth, as he rolled over behind the bed where's
on they found him, they supposed their work
was completely done.
Our story is told. We have given the truth
of history, and told exactly why Abraham

States vas killed. Pomsroy's Democrat.

VIcToRrA's CRowN.--The Grown of Queen
Victoria was constructed out of the frag-
ments Of half dozen bygone diadems, which
were broken up in 1888, worn by Mary No
dena, including those worn by Queen Caro-
line and Queen Charlotte as consorts, and by
Mary II, and Anne as Queens regnant, and
others. The large sapphire, the partial drill
ing of which suggests that it may formerly
have figured in the turban Of some Eastern
sultan, was purchased, it is true, by George
Nv. !; but in the front of the diadem, and In
the center of Maltese cross of diamonds, is
the famous ruby given to Edward the Black
Prince, by Pedro, King Of CASTLE, after the
battle of Najeve, A. D., 1867. This same
ruby was worn by Henry v. in his helmet at
Agincourt. The gem is pierced right through.
Every other diamond ruby, emerald, and
pearl in the dazzling galaxy may have its
own pedigree and legend. No authentic re-
cord Of the crown jewels has been preserved.
The caps is of crimson velvet. The crown
was first exhibited complete in June, 1888.
