A RICH AND POINTED EXPERIMENTAL
young gentleman of this city called on
lady friend, last evening. At the time
of his visit the lady Was engaged in
darning stockings. having an egg in one
of the stockings to keep the hole in
shape, or for some similar purpose.
When the gentleman made his appear

on chair and invited him to be seated;
and. although he don't cover a great
deal Of surface when he is seated. he
managed to sit down on the stocking
and the egg and the darnipg needle all
at once. Then he got up land darned
the stocking and the egg and the needle,
and when the pain had subsidized little
and he got the egg wiped off his pants,
he said it was one of the richest and at
the same time most pointed experiences
he had ever met with in the whole
course of his long and eventful career.

even though j. be Centennial year.
Let the Southern Democracy fill the
seats in Congress with ex-Confedera:e
officers, if they can DO it without OPP
pressing those to whom we pledged the
protection of nation. Let the South
ern Democracy reimburse those who
los. their property in endeevoring to de-
stroy this Government, if they can do
it without depicting by one dollar the
National Treasury. or harming the ma
tional credit, or laying q finger weight
of burden on loyal industry. Let the
more or less reconstructed South enjoy
homo rule to its hearts content, but the
freedom which we have established we
will maintain; the promises We have
made we will surely keep; the faith we
have asserted we will not recant; and,
though they may laurel as they will the
graves Of their dead, they shall not strip
the bays from the mausoleums Of our
heroes for material.

The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany have instructed their agents and
employees to refuse trade dollars for
fares and freights except at discount
of ten per cent. Unfortunately the
public have no redress in this in
stance. The law authorizing the coin
age Of trade dollars does not make
them a legal tender for any amount.
They are not coined by minis except
on private account. Anybody hav-
ing bullion may have it coined into
trade dollars at the Carcon or San
Francisco minis, the charges for doing
so being IA per cent. This privilege
does not extend to smaller coins. Half
and quarter dollars arc coined only on
Government account, and notwith-
standing the heavy discount on sill
yer, the minis are not authorized to
dispose Of them except at their par
value in gold. \ trade dollar con-
tains more silver than two half dol
lars, yet defective legislation makes it
worth less as currency.

RUNORS-FALSE REPORTS.

The Presidential campaign never fails
TO be prolific source OF rumors and false
reports. 1t is a time when the wits of
bad men appear to be more active than at
any other season. Some who start III
mors seek revenge, some have axes to
grind, and some seem to be actuated by
no other motive than to create a sensation
and make a demand for the newspapers
which retail every rumor that comes to
them.
The campaign about commencing prom
Uses to be one not surpassed by any other
In regard to the uttering of sensational
and false reports. The newspapers that
will publish them have for some time been
heavily laden with this kind of matter
If they continue as they have begun the
amount issued during the campaign will
be simply enormous. Every day brings
its batch of new reports, although attend
ed very closely by statements showing
that large proportion of the rumors pub
lished the day or the week before were
without any good foundation. Take the
reports which have been diligently sent
out from Washington for several weeks
concerning Secretary Robson. They
have been yoluminous. They have
charged him with fraud here, there, and
everywhere In the management of his de-
psstment. He has not only been accused
of using large sums of public money to
aid Jay Cooke g. Co. in their financial diff
fioulties. but he is charged with stealing
Old iron, copper. brass, etc., from the ma
" yards, and being In collision with old
tunk dealers to cheat the government
And yet the appearance is. as far as stric'
investigation has been able to let light in
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1876-04-11

to Mr.. Robeson's management, that he is
innocent of all the weighty accusations
made against him.
This is one example. For another, take
the report sent abroad the other day pre-
tending to state how certain senators voted
upon the question OF confirming the nom
nation of Mr.. Dana as Minister to Eng
land. Twelve hours had not elapsed from
the time of the publication OF this canard
before it was authoritatively contradlcted.
So there are reports OF divisions and dis
sansions in the Cabinet, and OF what the
President has said and done, all of which
are downright labrications and ialsehoods.
Akin to these are reports OF conversations
and expressions of opinion among proml-
nent men, none of which ever took place,
and surprise nobody more than the per-
sons concerning whom they are reported.
The consequence of this flooding the
country with rumors and falsehoods will
be TO set every man on his guard as to
crediting such reports. The best class oil
people will become disguised with the
newspapers that publish them, and even
those who crave sensation will weary OF
the trash presented them daily. 1t is bad
enough to have to print the testimony OF
self convicted scoundrels Ike Bell and
others, who by their own stories better
merit place in the penitentiary than to
be allowed to go at large, but the evil in
that case does not begin to compare In
enormity with that of those who under the
garb of decent journalism send out in their
columns lies manufactured to order for
any market.

A case has arisen in Texas which shows
pretty clearly the animus of the southern
people in regard to those in that section
who were opposed to the Confederacy in
the rebellion. The term of Mr.. Hamilton
as United States Senator from that State
will close next March. The friends of
representative John Hancock are urging
his selection for the place, and have writ
ten him asking that he go to Austin and
engage personally in the canvass. This
he has refused to do, and will not even
announce himself as candidate, although
he will not by any means withdraw his
name now that it has been put forward by
his friends. Almost the only reason
which has thus far been urged against
Judge Hancock's election in his own State
is his Union record during the late civil
war. Having, in the State Legislature in
1S60-6l, refused to take the oath of ale
glance to the Confederate States, he was
expelled. Now the more ultra of the
democrats Of Texas, when by his efforts
aud those of others Of liberal views the
danger Of carpet-bagism has been averted
urge upon the Legislature the election of
no man to the United States Senate whose
"war record was not good" by which
they mean no man who did not sympa-
thize with the cause ofthe Confederacv.

Two important Discoveries The discovery of
America by Columbus, and DR.. Perce's Golden

kind new continent, the other fountain OF
health, which is indispensable to the full enjoy

above sentiment come the unsolicited attestations
of tens of thousands of grateful parents, who have
been relieved of chronic ailments through its in
strumentality. Those voices are limited to no one
locality, but from every city, village, and hamlet
in our broad domain, as well as from other cmes
and in the strange utterances of foreign tongues
like the confused murmur of many waters, come
uniegned and hearty concentrations. It is in
