Times are always changing. Nothing is
conducted as it was quarter or half cen.
fury ago. And among other things, the the
DRY and art of politics have changed very
much. Formerly, everybody was obliged to
adhere strictly to party lines or suffer the
odium or reproach Of the term turn.coat.
No matter how corrupt or unpopular can.
didate might be, it was considered to be
every voters duty to support that candidate
and thus save the party at the expense Of
the interest and wishes of the people. Now,
it is different. People are getting advanced
ideas Of the art of politics and Independent
in their views and actions. Here in Yer
mont, at least, people are getting walked up
to the fact that men and their qualities, not
mere party necessities are to be considered
in their nomination of candidates for office
This is right. The sooner we all learn this
truth the better. If unsound and unpopular
men are presented to US for Endorsement at
the ballot box, we should show our dsap.
proval by voting for men whom we know to
be honest and trustworthy. BY doing thus
we show that we have the best interests oil
our country or our community at heart, AMI
that VIC are disposed to turn our theories
into practice. In our own county we are
having such an experience. 1t has been our
fortune or misfortune to have one Of these
secessions or bolts from our county ticket.
Some who were not satisfied with a part of
the names on the regular republican ticket,
have put into the field ticket bearing the
names Of some of the regular democratic
nominees, and asked the people to support
them in their departure. Whether this
change was justifiable on account of the
characters Of the several candidates we do not
propose to discuss, That is for the voters
to decide. But we do say to our reader,
think it over thoroughly, look up the records
and attitude Of the candidates on both sides
upon the question now brought into dispute
and when you have done this, vote for the
nominees whom your conscience tells you
will most faithfully and rightfully fulfill the
duties of office, and above all, do not lei
your decision be hampered or controlled by
the weight of party prejudice and demands

SECRET SERVICE PICKINaS.
How Government Officers Furnished
Their Homes with Pianos.

An ox-officer, who was connected for
many years with the United States secret
service, relates how government officers
fraudulently converted public moneys to
the purchase for their wives and daughters
Of pianos from Marcus A. Decker, who
was taken into court last week on the
charge Of labelling cheap and second hand
pianos with the names Of welLknown man
ufacturers, and then selling them as first
class instruments at great profit.
Says the ex-ofhcer: Decker had his
piano warerooms at SO Blocker street, and
rented the second, third and fourth floors
to the secret service at an exhorbtant rent,
which was paid out OF the national
treasury. Decker did business under the
name of Decker Il Brother. Ths brother
was a myth, and the firm name a decep
ton. Decker's name was placed on the
pay roll by Col Whitley, and he drew d
salary as a secret service operative without
performing any duty. On his books, which
have been examined in court, appear the
names of Ichabod G.. Nettleship and Johl
j. King as the purchasers of pianos from
him. | personally know that the piano,

attorney general, had her house in Wash

assistant to Whitley, the chief Of the secre
service, and King, assistant United State.

friend, co operating with them in many Of
their jobs. He associated with the Har.
rington- Babcock crowd, aud for several
months he drew salary as a secret ser.

served as assistant district attorney
Nettleship bought one piano at $3.50 for
his residence in Newark, ind he paid out
as much more for another, which he
shipped to Whitley's house in Cambridge
Mass. The government had to pay for
the pianos in each instance. Apologize

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the edge
Of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the lettslde; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top OF the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are CoStive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with q painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial TO him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have ocCurredwheref few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensiyely deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them A FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and as
staple purgative, they are unequaled.

PROFITABLE PRINTING.
Mr.. Clapp Asks the President to Vindi'
cate Him and Give Him Another
Chance.

Mr.. Clapp, the congressional printer,
who has just Eeen legislated out of Office
by congress on account OF the charges
made against him by an investigating com.
lDittee TO the house. wants the president
to ''vindicate' him by appointing him to
tho new Office of government Printer,
which has just been created. The testi-
mony taken by the house shows that Nh.
Clapp bought over million dollars worth
of material of one New York jobbing firm /;
that he never inquired whether they
were selling to him at manufacturers
prices; and that as a consequence, they
charged him nearly double what the
manufacturers would Lave done. For in-
stance, they charged in one item 81 ,450
for gold leaf, for which they paid the
manufacturer $S7975; on one bill OF calf
skin, amounting to $4,452, the same firm
realized IA profit OF 81 ,264. Mr.. Clapp
testified that he had $4,000 on hand,
realized from the sale of waste, which sum
should have been turned into the treasury,
but the committee could only find $l6,257,
the balance being still unaccounted for.
The cashiers Of three banks testified that
Mr.. Clapp was a holder of bank stock and
u depositor TO the amount of $30.UOO to
$4,000, while his salary was but $4,000.
He also owns houses and lots in Washing
ton and Buffalo, though poor when he
went iutO Office seven years ago. The
house charged him with Incompetency and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and when they offered
him Il chance to make his defence he re-
fused, but called on the senate to protect
him, as he was an officer appointed by
that body. The senate was evidently con
WINGED OF his uuGtness tor the Office, for il
agreed to legislate him out; aud an under.
standing was had with the house that q

Eating Crow. F"
The Cincinnati Commercial throws this
weak SOP to a too curious correspondent:

weak sop 10 u 700 curious correspondent
"Hayes as our correspondent knows, was not our
choice for the presidency. We wanted Bristow,
the man who made war to hurt on those who were
defrauding the revenue service, and who In his
administration Of Justice did not respect persons.
He was defeated in the Cincinnati convention, but
at last the decent elements OF the convention NOM
mated Hayes, and he Ia fairly before the people as
the representative OF the latter part Of his party
The Commercial is trying to eat its
dish of crow" with good grace, but the
the attempt is not satisfactory success.
If"the decent elements Of the convention
nominated Hayes" why could not the
same elements have nominated 'the man
who made war to hurt on those who we're
defrauding the revenue servicep" Evil
IDENTIFY there was not enough decency
among the assembled wisdom of the Re-
publican party to nominate Bristow, but
just enough TO nominate Hayes This is
pitiful shutting. The Commercial knows,
by painfully humiliating experience, that
the very reasons why it wanted Bristow
made the nominee at Cincinnati we're the
reasons why he was overwhelmingly de-
feated. Had he never struck blow al
the whisky ring he would have made a
much stronger race than he did. Wits.
ky-ring influence killed him, and the same
influence found in Hayes the man Ct its
choice. To say that the latteris the rep
resentative of the better part of his party. y
is fat contradiction Of facts. He was
nominated by that part Of his party which
wants things to go on as they have been
going for seven years, which sees in Grant
and Grantism objects worthy THE contin-
ued and hearty gratitude Of the American
people," which believes that no man
who talks about reform has any business
in the Republican party" Had there
been the smallest suspicion of reform pro-
clivities attaching to Hayes. the Republi
can convention would never have touched
him. Ii was because he was not what
Bristow ,ods that he received the honor
which belonged to the only reformer the
Republican party has ever produced
He represents the anti.reform portion Of
that party, and he viii! receive no vote
which would not have been given to Grant

the anti-reform leaders.
