We scarcely need invite attention TO the
letter Of our New Hampshire correspondent,
published In another column. describing the
corrupt condition into which the politics OF
New Hampshire nave been brought by twenty
years domination OF a single party For this
revolving immortality we hold the Republicans
primarily responsible, because during the
long term Of unyaryng Democratic control
which preceded their acquisition OF mover, no
such mischief was ever Lnown; and also
because their present possession OF the State
Government is due to bribery. They have
elected the Governor and the majority Of the
Legislature because they had money and have
paid high cash prices for votes.
No state has ever been more tenacious In its
adherence to It's chosen party than New Hamp.
shire. With the second election Of ANDIlEw
JACKSON In 1892 1t became thoroughly Demo
lie, and so remained until 1855. when, in the
midst Of the slavery agitation, II embraced the
Republican cause. To that cause 1t has since
been devoted, until the corruption and yillainy
OF Grantism have compelled considerable
number Of honest and patriotic men 10 go over
TO the Opposition. As a remedy for this defec-
ton, the Republican managers have adopted
the practice Of buying the votes OF the worth
less and by this means they remain in power
IL is to be noted, however, that this business OF
purchase and sale affects merely the loose and
movable portion OF the voters, tue mass OF the
two parties remaining inoorruptible and sincere
In their opinions. hut this mass has no time TO
lose. II the people wish to save themselves
from universal and entire depravity, they must
cut up by the roots this cancer of bribery and
corruption.

A correspondent at Hackensack ad-
dresses to us the following serious question:


81 am constant reader Of THE sUS aud have bene-
hted largely by It's orthodox cditorais. Now l ask
you to answer the fooy ing question: yo1 Will kindly
do .o How eau cultivate the power to resist wrong
aud do riEhtP"
The FIRST and most important thing is resisting
wrong the business Of doing right will take
care OF itself nfterward. The power to resist
wrong is developed, like every other faculty OF
man, by exercise. II, for instance, whenever
you are tempted to steal you refrain from steal
Ing because II Ia a sin and Con has forbidden Il,
you acquire by that act an increase OF strength
TO resist any second temptation OF the kind. so
It Is with every other form OF wrong Resist
ance to an Impulse or a temptation adds to n
mans power OF resistance until at last he be-
comes proof against temptation; and abstain
ing from wrong IL thus rendered habitual and
developed into q second nature. When and as
fast as this result Ia accom- plshed. doing right
follows as matter OF course for when a man
does no wrong, everything he does IL sure toibe
right.

Now, the act of July IA, 1870, above re-
ferred to, declares as follows:
Nothing In this act or IN any otuerlaw now in force
tie bondef dot ofhs UAtiei States"
II will he observed that in the execution
OF the act Of resumption. SO far as the sale
OF bonds is concerned TO provide the money
to redeem the United States notes or
Greenbacks, it refers for guidance to the
previous act Of 1870; and this act, ms Is
seen by the foregoing extract, explicitly
forbids any increase OF the bonded debt
of the United States. Thus the Sec
rotary is plumply estopped from issuing
a single bond TO raise money TO redeem
grecnbacks with until he has FIRST got them
in his possession. And 1t is not till the
LIST of January, 1879, that he is authorized
to trade off bonds for greenbacks at ALL
After That, he may do 1t as opportunity
offers. But this is not resumption on the
LIST of January, 1879, by any means, and in
fact is no resumption at all in any just
sense of the term. II is simply a clumsy
proposition TO convert greenbacks into
bonds. How In the face of this palpable
prohibition of the Secretary of the Treas
ury TO increase the public debt, Mr. SHER-
MAN can say he can 20 on and sell bonds and
accumulate coin, to lie idle i'll the public
vaults until the LIST of January, 1879, with
which to redeem greenbacks after that
period, must be a mystery TO every one not
acquainted with political nnanciering, or
the india-rubber character OF the minds
and consciences OF the men who have of
late years dwelt in the corrupting atmos-
phere of Washington.

that in China an appropriation of t60OOOOO had
been made 10 provide against emergencies in the
case Of a war with any other nation, and an
official request forwarded to the United States
TO send some one out there with plans Of forti-
lcatioEs and proposals for the manufacture Of

out, We do not know who represented the
United States In this transaction, hut whoever
he was he showed great saRacity In getting
WIZARD out OF the country, and at the same
time supplying China with man who can
spend that $0O00,0O0 so quick that It will make

locked up In China, and II they only keep WIZARD

A good deal OF discussion is going on
about Gov. T1LDEN's veto Of the bill for
the employment OF convict and pauper
labor. II Is conceded all hands that
pauperism and crime may be diminished
by keeping paupers and criminals at work.
Gov. rnDEN objects to putting the prod
ucts Of such labor into competition with those
OF reputable persons. His point would seem to
be gained then, II their labor were OF some UNI
productive kind, while the moral effect would
be gained n only they were kept busy. Several
ways occur to us in which both purposes might
be accomplished. One is to build an immense
treadmli, which would turn hard and not
operate any machinery, and to Keep the paupers
and oonvcts trudging In this. Or they might
be sent to Congress to the state Legislature.
All these occupations would be unDroductive.
On the other hand II the proposed bill were to
become law, and no alternative were left to
the Commissioners Of Charities and Correction
but to put all the paupers and convlcts TO the
most profitable occupation. we see nothing left
but to make them all private secretaries to tue
