THE unfair aud dishonest Democratic
method of conducting investigations is call
ing forth general complaint, and will have to
be abandoned. The custom has been to take
in secret session testimony of damaging
character from irresponsible witnesses who
swear, not 10 their own knowledge but to
hearsay. Then distorted account of the
testimony is given by some member Of the
investigating committee to newspaper cores
pondents and thus spread over the country.
Public officers have no chance TO make ex-
PLANTATION until the charges are printed far
and wide and frequently their first knowl-
edge of the accusations comes from seeing
them in the public prints under startling
headlines. The injustice of this infamous
method of procedure calls forth general
outcry, and the people are demanding that it
shall be done away with.

Mr., BIaine's Answer.

Elsewhere will be found the remarks of ex-
Speaker Blaine respecting the scandals which
have been circulated respecting his conuec-
ton with certain alleged railroad transactions.
Every candid man, whether friend or foe of
Mr.. Blaine, will admit that he has fairly met
and completely refuted all the charges made
against him.
Mr. Blaine declares, first, that he never
owned dollars worth of stock, bonds Or any
other property of the Union Pacific Railroad,
directly or indirectly, or procured any money,
bonds or other property of that corporation
for any one. This declaration is confirmed
by the most positive and sweeping reitera-
tions of the same statement by officers OF the
Union Pacific Railroad Company.
In the second place, Mr.. Blaine shows that
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
grant was made to the company about twenty
oears ago by the state of Arkansas, having
previously been donated to that state by
Congress, that no act of Congress since he has
been member of that body has been re-
quired to confirm the land grant made by that
state and that he never received any stock or
bonds of this latter company for a price or
consideration other than that given by every
other purchaser at the time.
1t will be curious to witness the attempts
OF the argus and othe mud-slinging Demo-
cratic machines to explain away this over
whelming answer of Mr.. Blaine to his
defamers.

The New York Tribune predicts that the
Republicans will have an easy victory in In
diana at the next election. Mr.. Orth the
Republican candidate for Governor is general
ly esteemed while Mr.. Williams the Demo-
cratic candidate is weak man.
There is an out spoken newspaper in Vir-
ginia, the West Point Star, which modestly
says of the Presidential candidates: '1f we
consider only fitness and ability, JEFF Davis is
our trst choice; but then he can hardly be
regarded as available just now."
1t seems that the vindication of John
Wilkes Booth is going to be an issue of the
Democratic campaign this year. The Rich
mond Dispatch says that the connection of
Gen. Hancock and Gen. Hartranft with the
trial of Mrs. Surratt will forever preclude
them from any public Office in this country.
In commenting upon the recent display
made by Tucker in the Confederate House of
Representatives, the Elmira Advertiser hits
the mark when it says Democracy is bound
head and heels to these outspoken champions
of rebellion" who love the north just for
the doughfaces they may attach to their

IT is evidently the purpose of our people
to astonish the foreigners who visit the CEN
tennial exhibition. Many strange things
have been sent to Philadelphia, but nothing
stranger than pair of boots, said TO be very
handsome, forwarded from New York. The
boots are made from human skin, and are
not blacked, the account assures us, 'but are
forwarded in the light brown color that the
tanning has created" 1t is confidently be-
lieved that the effect upon the blasted for
eigners will be stupefying, and that they will
be forced to confess that the effete civiiza-
tion of Europe can produce nothing so novel
in the line of leather. Mr.. Mahrenholz, the
ingenious tanner who is responsible for this
new fashion in hides, estimates that the skin
of an average-sized man will make two pairs
of boots, including the soles, and it is be-
lieved by economists that his discovery will
knock the Malthusian theory higher than a
kite. He appears to be taxidermist as well
as tanner, and is now engaged in expert
ments upon human skin "with higher view
than that of preparing it for boots" He par-
poses to tan the cuticles of man, a woman
and baby, and stuff them. These spec-
mems, we regret to say, are not to be sent to
the Centennial, but are reserved for exhibi-
ton in the Bellevue Hospital.

Political News.

Somebody says Blaine's "Great Unknown"
is Roscoe Conkling; the two gentlemen have
not known each other for many years.
Gov. Hendricks must have written that In
diana platform himself 1t is the most per-
feet embodiment of a straddle on record.
A number of gentlemen in Washington, says
the Boston Advertiser correspondent, con-
cludedtbat Senator Morrill, is the best man for
the Presidency in the eastern states.
The New York Post expresses the opinion
that the expenditure made by Mr.. Davenport
to prevent fraud in the elections in that city
'was entirely justifiable."
James Russell Lowell has consented to
serve as President of young mems political
club in Cambridge, whose object is to secure
the attendance of leading citizens at caucuses
and ward meetings.
There is no more danger of the present
congress examining the alleged corruption o.
the Pacific railroads than of its calling Schu-
maker and King to account. Too many vir-
tuous Democrats have had some OF that
pork.
Gov. Smith of Georgia thinks division OF
the colored vote in that state would give the
Republican party majority in the State.
The feeling against the colored leaders keeps
old Wings and Union men out of that Re-
publican organization.

A Historical Parallel.

Those who are inclined to lose faith in
Republican institutions and seek in some OF
the late disclosures of individual dishonesty
an indication of national decay, would do
we'll to study the early history of our govern
ment for the purpose of reassuring them
selves that the times on which we have
fallen are not altogether evil, but compare
favorably in purity and integrity with that
much lauded epoch of the Republic when
the administration of public affairs was char
acterized by the greatest simplicity and
most .unselfish patriotism. The following
extract from letter written by Washington
in ITS to Benjamin Harmon, Speaker of the
House of Delegates of Virginia, discloses a
condition of affairs during the Revolution, OF
which even the most respondent observer
would not claim to find parallel IN these
days, although we are now reaping the re-
suits of the widespread Generalization and
extravaganza which were engendered by the
late war. After having visited Philadelphia,
during the session of the Colonial Congress,
and observed the condition of affairs, WASH
ington wrote as follows:
If were to be called upon to draw picture of the
times and of men from what have seen, heard, and
in part know should in one word say that idleness
dissipation and extravaganza seem TO nave alo fast
hold of most of them; that speculation, peculation
and Unsuitable thirst for riches seem to have got
the better of~every other consideration, and almost
OF every order of men, that party disputes and per-
sonal quarres are the great business Of the day. while
the mementous concerns of an empire, a great and
accumulating debt, ruined finances, deprecated
is the want of everything are but secondary consd
erations, and postponed fro day to day, from week
pect. After drawing this picture, ,ohich from my
soul belieUe to be a true one need not repeat to
you that am alarmed and wish TO see my country
men aroused.

A LETTER from Mr.. Charles Nordhoff to
the editor of the PRESS denies the truth of
the story about the Tweed-statue article in
the Erening Post as told in our New York
letter of last week. Mr.. Nordhoff says
among other things:-"I wrote the article
on the Tweed statue with the consent of Mr..
Bryant; he read il in proof and approved of
it; it was printed with his consent and I did
not resign my place on the Erening Post
until a number of months-how many don't
now recollect-after it appeared" The New
York letter, in another column, treats. of the
matter and makes full and regretful retrac-
ton, as is due under the circumstances.
Nothing is more foreign to the purpose of the
PRESS than any Misrepresentation of the
character, action or motives of any one, and
we hasten to make all the reparation possible
in this instance.
1t is but just to say of our correspondent,
Yarmouth" that he would not make any
statement without such evidence of its cor
rectness as is ordinarily accepted by gentle
men, that he is extremely careful about his
statements and that he will always, in case of
any mistake or misconception, be eager to
explain and correct.

While recognizing many points Of resem-
blance in this letter to the criticisms which
are so freely made at this day, we think that
the disclosure is favorable to this generation,
and that no patriot need lose faith in the fr-
ture of the republic. Compared with the
universal corruption and venality which -four
ished under the English government in the
days Of Bacon and Walpole our times disclose
a high state of public virtue and the temporary
evil from which we suffer will soon find its
cure in the aroused conscience of the people.

The Medicine that Cures

There is not case of scrofula in existence that
