OF course the President Of tho Unit.
cd States would not for moment be
suspected Of completely IN the corrup.
tions that have recently been unearth.
ed at Washington, and yet few per,
tinent questions sdggest themselves
Just now. "a
First. When Bclknap wont to Gran,
and rendered his resignation ms Secrc.
tary of War, with n confession of his
guilt, why did the President accept i,
80 promptly ,citA reg,eti Was it to
prevent, il possible, the impeach hmenl
of his bosom friend?
Second. Why did Grant order th,
Attorney General to institute prosccu.
tions against al who were connected
with these little "irregularitics'" ?" Was
it TO frighten those who knew allabout
the matter into leaving the country, ",
that there would be none to testift
against Belknap in the courts and thu,
secure his acquittal?
Third. Ever since Col. Fred Grant
graduated at West Point, he has anus.
cd himself by travelling in Europe, and
since his return, by loating about Wash.
ington. Now, that his name Is use,
in connection with this rnscaly bust.
ness why is he ordered to report a
once for service on the plains? WASH
to get him out Of the reach of lcga
process. which would summon him L
appear before the House committee
and force him to divulgc some fmil,
| Isea~ats2 .
Fourth. Gen. Schcnck, minister (,
England, has been accused of compile
ty in the Emma Mine frauds. WI,
was his resignation accepted by Grant
while he was upon the high seas, Of
hss way home ? Why was il not nc
cepted while yet on British soil or post
poned until after his arrival in thi
countryH Was the first to prevent hi
arrest in England and the second, hi
impeachment by Congress 1? There ar
u few other little matters concernin,
Brother Orvil, and Brother.in.lav
Dent that the people would like t.
have explained, This affair from b.
ginning to end, shows desire and ci
fort on the part OF the President to pre-
vent full investigation and to screel
the scoundrels that have brought di>
grace upon the nation.

THE GREAT RAILROAD CASE.
Decision of Judge Woods.

After the argument of counsel Friday
Judge Woods took under advisement the ap
plication of the linois Central Railroad Com
pany for receiver to be appointed for the
New Orleans, ST. Louis and Chicago R llroad
Company, and Saturday morning granted the
application, and issued restraining order,
preventing the defendant road from alternating
its bonds and property.
This order puts Mr.. Alexander, the trustee,
in possession of the road from here to Cairo,
and takes the management of its affairs en-
tirely out of the hands of its former owners.
Gen. Walthal, representing the jackson
Road, made motion that an attorney be ap-
pointed, with compensation. to represent the
interests of his clients. but Judge Woods
overruled it, saying that as the case now stood
no solicitor Yves necessary.

Good Enough to be True.

A lady now living in. California relates the
following as an incident of her early life
I" Travelling in a coach in fhinly-settled par,
Of Alabama with her parents she gave utter
ance to the enthusiasm Of young girl at the
romantic scenery. Her father apologizod to a
fellow passenger for her exhuberance The
Stranger answered: DO not check her; en-
thusiasm is gift of G1d;' and then he began
in eloquent language to tell of scenes he had
gazed upon and lands he had visited, dwell
ing alternately on the majesty of the wilds
of the West apd the splendors of the highest
civilization. The girls fancy was all af1ame,
aud she led the stranger to speak of foreign
lands, and at last Spain, until, forgetting him
self, he spoke of scenes and narrated legends
in words which disclosed to Der his identity.
Chpping her hands, she cried: You are

About four years ago Charles Sumner said
in the United States Senate: "See, for one
moment, how pernicious must be the Presi-
dental example. First in place, his personal
influence is far-reachipg beyond that of any
other citizen. What he does, others will do.
What he fails to do, others will fail to do
His standard of conduct will be accepted, at
least by his political supporters. His meas
ure of industry and his sense Of duty will be
the pattern for the country. If he appoints
relations to Office and repays gifts by official
patronage, making his Presidency "a great
gift enterprise, may not every cfice-holder do
likewise, each in his sphere. so that nepotism
and gift-taking officially compensated will be
general, and gift enterprises be multiplied in
definitely in the public service? II be treats
hlsatrust as plaything and perquisite, why
may not every ofice-holder do the same !?
If he fraternizes with jobbers and
Hessians, where is the limit to the demorali-
zation that must ensue? Necessarily the pub
lie service takes its character from its elected
chief, and the whole country reflects the
President. His example is a law. But bad
example must be corrected as bad law" A
number OF people will read that extract to-
day and confess its truth, who read it with
hot indignation when it was uttered, and de-
nounced the great man who spoke it as a
traitor and q slanderer.-N I. Tribune.

DESOLATION.

My life is like the drifting wreck
Cast by the waves upon the shore,
Whose broken spars and floating deck
Tell of the shipwreck that is Ger.
Yet from those relics of the storm
The mariner his raft will form
Again to tempt the faithless sea
But hope rebui.ds no bark for me.
My life is like the blighted oak
That lifts its sere and withered form,
Scathed by the liShtning's sudden stroke,
Sternly to meet the coming storm.
Yet round that sapless trunk entwine-
The curling tendrils of the vine,
And life and freshness there impart
hot so the passion-blight heart.
NV life is like the desert rock
In the mid-ocean lone and drear,
Worn by the wild waves ceaseless shock,
That round it's base their surges rear.
Yet there the sea-moss still will cling !;
Some flower will find cleft to spring,
And shed around its sweet perfume
For ms ife's flowers no more will bloom

TEE CUP Is FULL.

Stealage and corruption among government
officials comes home to every husband, every
mother, and every child i9 the Republic. Ii
takes away a part from the market value OF
every bale of cotton, every barrel OF nolasses,
every hogshead of sugar, every barrel OF
-four. every cask of tobacco, every tierce OF
bacon. every head of cattle, every package OF
wine every cargo of lumber. and every pro-
duct Of mechanical industry whatsoever.
The people are poor because their rulers
steal. The people groan and suffer because
they can not sell what they create for its law
full market value. The times are nard every
where. and the causers of hard times are our
corrupt rulers Heavy taxes represent steal
age We pay tribute to political brigands
and official pirates. Forty per cent OF
all duties goes into the pockets Of scamps.
Sixty per cent Of all internal reve-
nue. is likewise diverted. Somehow, by hook
or by crook, the profits Of all industry, and
especially Of agricultural industry, go into
the Golfers of bankers, traders, spectators
and iobbers. The fraternity Of scamps fatten
and flourish, but the people mourn. Inc
rich get richer all the time and the poor grow
poorer from day to day.
This thing can not last. The people OF the
whole Republic feel that they are paying TOO
dearly for their political whistle. They may
concede that q poor government may some
times be better than none, but they are
beginning to feel that the existing govern
ment ia so thoroughly bad and corrupt that 1t
is much worse than no government ct all.
The American people were never SO thor
ouehly awakened as now. They are begin
ming to look closely into this sham, called
government. and to weigh its benefits against
its cost. They are learning the strange ways,
and the marvellous extent of frauds and swim
dies which have been perpetrated upon them.
The catiffs are in greater danger than they
may imagine. Many now in high office will,
in a few weeks, find no shelter from the anger
of an insulted, robbed and vindictive people
We can clearly see what must come, and see
ing it, we in all kindness warn the culprits
that they have no time to lose in escaping
from the overflow Of popular sentiment. The
day of retribution is at hand. The records
of political scoundrels ere to be overhauled
The people are resolved to be governed by
thieves no longer.

Prof. Crookes of London, has actually sue
ceeded in weighing the light of candle, al
though light has hitherto been considered i'm
ponderabls. The principle OF. his delicate and
complicated instrument is based on the fact
that fine thread of glass, suspended at one
end, may be turned round twenty or thirty
times without breaking, and has tendency
to untwst itself. By fastening such thread
in tube. and throwing ray of light on the
interior, it has been found possible, with the
aid of other scientific appliances. to register
the revolutions aud tensions caused by the
introduction of the light of candle into the
tube the result OF which is that it weighs
about O.O0l72S, or nearly two-thousandth
parts of grain. Taking this as an approx
innate starting point, we find that the light
thrown out by the sun on the earth is equal
to about thirty-two grains per square foot, or
ffty-seven tons to the square mile, or 3,0oO,-
600, 600 tons on the whole earth, force that,
but for gravitation, woold drive our planet

important If True.

"a Startling Invention is announced by
the Chicago Times. and marked copies sent
around the country. Il IS called the "hydro-
carbon burner and gas generator" which
promises to revolutionize cur domestic &c On
omy. The materials used are coal oil and
water, which, if we may believe the rather
exuberant account Of it, is made to "produce
heat enough to run an engine, propel ma
chinery, heat Q cooking stove, illuminate a
mansion, or perform any other result usually
accomplished by means of wood or coal T" The
attach ment can be made to any ordinary stove
or range, and at an insignificant cost. A Pro-
lessor Kendall chemist is quoted as saying
that he was able to do the cooking, washing
and ironing for six persons, for seven days,
for fifty cents II all this is true, our gas
companies and coal dealers may as well pre-
pare to close up their business; but they may
as well look into the facts first.

The Square Truth.

Extract Of private letter from Washington
Washington is all wallow of thievery
and CORRUPTION, with full sprinkling of de-
lighted official Sambos intermixed by way Of
Il .vor and ornamentaton.
"Yet the city is just as it has long been.
There is really nothing new. Only time grad
ually develops to the many what was well
known to the few. Thus there is great cape
and stare over Belknap, while there is nothing
new in the case. His story is that OF the whole
civil service ever since Grant came in. II is
Just what we knew about, and went in to re-
form in 1872. All the thanks We got was o
shower of brick-bats.
"There is no place for an honest man in
Washington society as at present constituted
No man who speaks the truth can appear in
it. II you can't meet thieves and liars on
terms Of equality, you do not belong there.
Moral and political debauchery has here
reached q height that history sometimes
speaks of, but of which this country has
never before had any experience, or even any
approach to, except in the local sphere where
Tweed figured. Bat the scoundrels who have
usurped the name, organization and admins
tration of the Republican party, have beaten
all their predecessors in this line out Of sight
Fire and birthstone might have done for
Sodom, but it wouldn't purify this city. The
man doesn't live who is a sufficient master OF
language to depict its degradation.
"Don't fatter yourself that everything is
bound to come out now, in either the War or
tho other departments, where things are
worse. As, after great burglaries, we hear OF
new fastenings, chronometer locks, fresh
guards and combinations, SO now there are
new grips, and new padlocks Oh every fellows

A Perfect Gentleman.

A correspondent OF the Boston Journal,
says:
Passing down Washington street Thursday,
near the Old South, saw before me woman
having two bundles on her arm. One Of them
fell az she was passing the foot Of School
street, just as q well known gentleman Of this
city came out of Fairbanks store. He stopped
and picked it up, carefully brushed off the
slush into which it had fallen, and handing it
to the female with polite bow. passed up
School street. I said to her, "Do you know
who that polite gentleman was?" ''No in
dade," she replied. ''Well, that was the Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,. Indade, he's a
perfect jntleman, ony way, was her reply.

OF GEN. RUFUS INGALLS,.
From the New York Sun we clip a copy o

My life is liFe the summer rose
That opens to e morning sky;
But ere the shades Of evening cluse,
Is scattered on the ground-to die.
Yet on the roses humble bed
The sweetest daws of night are shed,
As if she wept the waste to see.
But none shall weep tear for me !
My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moons pale ray;
Its hold is fraiI-its date is brief,
kesLless-and soon to pass awayl
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree wi mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leahess t;ee,-
But none shall breathe sigh for me
My life is like the prints which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand.
Yet, as if growing to effAce
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the sea-
But none, abs shall mourn for me
