RELENtpS FALL.

malteasancc in Office has produced a
profound sensation all over the country.
The testimony of Marsh, before the Con
rrcssional Investigating Committee,
hat few years ago lie bad paid
Mrs. Deknap $4,000 down for a
post leadership, and Sc, 900 yearly there
after, and that Secretary Belknap did
not deny it, but had resigned his posi-
ton TO avoid impeachment, was like
a thunder clap in Il clear sky. All arc
satisfied OF the Secretary's guilt, and he
has fallen, like Lucifcr, never 10 rise
again.
Beknap was bravo and honorable
officer in the Union army ; but before
the war he had only been an attorney OF
mediocre standing in Iowa. He was
elevated to the Cabinet position, much
to the surprise OF the people at large,
npon the death of Gen. John \. Raw
Inns. As Cabinet officer, he has ranked
well until his recent do Snfall. Upon
the investigation of the French arms
matter he was triumphantiy cleared on
all charges made against him, and II
was thought that in the hue aud cry
raised against him generally, he was
more sinned against than SHINING. But
his official lite has now come 10 a close,
and he must henceforth rank with the
distinguished sinners who have been
cngulfed by their own corruption.
Belknap's crime is regarded as an
outgrowlh of the extravaganza OF The
Federal officials at Washington. On a
saary Of $4,000 per year. with no for
tune TO back them, they attempt to keep
up magnificent establishments, royal
aad costly warJrobcs, and to
fctc AS they arc feted. Twenty-Five
thousand dollars will go into eight thons-
and dollars no times. As our Nation
grows older, 1t seems to steer farther
from the republican simplicity which
our fathers advocated. The extravaganza
at Washington is not plant indigenous
TO that soil alone. The American peo-
pie, as a rule, are spending money faster
than they are making it. What was
luxury ten or fifteen years ago, is almost
a NECESSITY now. TO "keep up with
modern notions OF living, the diSritary
must spend more than his salary, or be
close.fsted, ungrateful,
and all that. We begin to hold strongly
to the opinion that it would be better
for the Government to pay higher
all around-salaricS which will
ndGce men to be honest.
The Democrats begin to point to Bel
Ilnaps iegenerary as an example of the
legeneracy and rotlcnness OF the Re
publican party. 1t is always easy TO
fad an "erGmyle,' bat not 60 easy to
set one. B,lknap is the CrdmPe now.
IN 1861 there was man named Jet!cr-
son Davis. Democratic Secretary of War,
who not only committed treason. but
i0le enough TO offset hundred such En-
,mples as that set by Belknap. The
leaders are on the qvi rire
,yer the fall # Republican official
md each one is rigging himself ont "to
&c in at the death OF the Republican
party" Bat party that can strike of
he rotten limbs when they appear, and
purify itself on every occasion without
he assistance Of others, will undoubt-
,dly be tie one to attend funerals IS
,al bearer and not as the corpse-for
several years 10 come.

gYSiTNPTiOs

There seem 10 be growing feeling in
favor Of the repeal of the Resumption
Act. 1t is argued that orr business
men can only see bankruptcy in the
future, SHOULD the Specie Resumption
\ ct of January l4th, 1873, go into force
January 1st, 1879. On the policy of
changing "soit money" for "hard
money the two great parties are d.
vided What is for the. best interests OF
the country seems TO be the problem
which is to be solved. There is too
much at stake 10 make the money ones
lion 4 purely partisan question. And
NC do honestly believe that there is an
exhibition of purer patriotism on the
the part Of leading men over the
money question, than there has been
over any other issue for number OF
years. To preserve our National credit
ii vital point in sustaining and estab-
fishing the perpetuity OF our institutions
and to prevent the calamity OF great
financial distress among the people,
seems to be the laudable aim of our
public mcn-both Democrats and Re-
pubicans. They are discussing the
question with carncstncss, and party
feeling seems 10 have been almost cE-
tirely banished. Late State Conventions
have declared in favor Of the practca-
biiity OF The repeal of the Resumption
Act. 1t is q movement, however, SIMPLY
for delay. AS rule, the demand is for
resumption as soon as possible; but the
belief is, the country will not be able to
commence on this noble plan, January
list, 1879. Congress cannot better occu-
py It's time at ,hIs .iuncture than in DIS
cassing thoroughly and cxhaustlvely
the money question in all its bearings.

Death of James Lick.


San Francisco, Oct. 2.-James Lick
died in this city at 1. O'Clock yesterday
morning. He had been gradually sink
ing for several days, death resulting
from mere decay of nature. Ills re-
mains are lying in state at Pioneer Hall.
The funeral will occur "Wednesday after
noon.
Since the last change in the trustees
Of his charitable fund deceased had fret
quently expressed himself better salts
lied with the condition of affairs, but he
has manifested considerable concern at
hearing nothing from his son, John
Lick, Of fredericksburg, Lebanon
County, Pa, to whom both letters and
kilograms had been sent requesting his
resignation as one of the trustees. All
the rest of the old board have rendered
their designations, though they have not
yet been confirmed by the court The
trustees say that the business is in such
shape that no complications can ensue
in carrying out Lick's charitable de-
signs, though there is some fear ex-
pressed that the action of John Lick
implies an intention of contesting the
matter in the courts. The total value
of the trust funds is estimated at about
81, ,000, ,0O0.. 1t is ascertained that de-
ceased expressed desire to be buried
on the summit of Mount Hamilton, the
site OF the observatory provided for by
his fund. John Lick is believed to be
about to come here in response to tele-
grams. Members of the board of trus-
tees express confidence that no effort
will be made by him to break the trust
deed.

Georgetown Colorado, a town no
larger than Cheyenne, is now illumi-
mated by gas.
There are some things that are small.
This, for instance, from the Baltimore
Gazette, is microscopic: 1.-THE country
wants to know more about Custer's
death. Let US have full and free in
quiry. Let us know who, if any, stood
of and looked on the massacre of Gus
ter and his men, and if they did this
for fear of the anger of the admins
tration." The editor of the Gazette is
not a fool, perhaps, but it is plain what
he thinks of his subscribers.
At Fossville, California. lives old
Fuss, the crack stage-driyer Of the
Pacific. He has now retired from bus
iness, having grown rich, and keeps
the refreshment station on the stage
road, having resigned the reins to his
son. He has collection of whips given
him by different associations and friends,
which hang on racks in his hall, as tro-
phies. One Of them, given him by the
great Ralston, is valued at $40, 900,
being mounted in gold and richly set
with jewels.

RoARING REHIHALIsTs.
Moody and Sankey in Satah's Strong
--ioIf7---

ftotQ.
Chicago, Oct. 2.-The Moody and
Sankey meetings opened yesterday
morning at O'Clock, all arrangements
about the great tabernacle being COM
pleted. Seven thousand people greeted
Moody's first appearance. Many city
pastors were on the platform. Sankey
sung with good effect and the choir
was harmonious. Doctor Goodwin, of
the 1st Congregational Church, prayed
with fervor and emotion. The sermon
by Moody was characteristic, and di-
rected to Christian workers, the text
being from John: .'Jesus said, take ye
away the stone.'' The point of the dis
course was the duty of Christians to
rid their hearts of whatever rendered
them unfit for the Lords use-pride,
covetousness, unbelief, prejudice and
sectarian bigotry.4 After the benedic-
tion, by Bishop Cheney, there were
great hand shakings and hearty greet
ings. A half hour before the time for
afternoon services the tabernacle was
full and there were people enough on
the streets to fill dozen churches.
Moody preached from the words "He
that reapeth receiveth wages.' The
discourse was perfect torrent of gos-
pei enthusiasm. Reverend Doctors
Kittredge, Chamberlain, Goodwin and
Thomson led an overflow meeting in
Farwell Hall. At the evening meeting
in Farwell Hall twelve persons proffer-
red themselves as seeking Christ. The
sermons every evening this week will
be to Christians.

UNLINITED REMEDIAL RESOURCES.

People sometimes suppose that DIR. Pierce's
Family Medicines represent the entire extent
Of resources for curing disease. This is an
error. Experience proved that while the Gold
en- Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Purgative Pellets Compound Extract
dy. would, il faithfully used, cure q large va
riety OF chronic complaints, there would be
here and there case which, from its severity,
or from ITS complication with other disorders,
would resist their action. These exceptional
cases require thorough examination into
their symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature
and extent Of the disease or diseases under
which the patient was laboring, and the use
Of specific remedies to meet and overcome the
same. This led to the establishment Of the
Worlds Dlspensary, at Buffalo, N. Y, with
| It's Faculty Of Physicians and Surgeons, each
| of whom is skilled in the treatment of chronic
disorders in general and those belonging to
his own special department in particular. To
one is assigned diseases Of the throat and
lungs; to another, diseases of the kidneys and
urogenital organs; to another, diseases Of the
digestive system; to another, diseases Of the
nervous system; and to another, diseases of
| the eye and ear Thus the highest degree OF
perfection in medicine and surgery is attained.
The establishment of this institution enables
| the Doctor to meet long felt want in the
treatment Off the more severe chronic affections.
| BY acareful consideration of the symptoms as
given in writing, he successfully treats thou
sands Of cases at their homes. Others visit the
DispeDsary in person. The amplest resources
for the treatment of lingering affections are
| thus placed at the disposal OF every patient,
and those on whom the proprietary medicines
| do not have the desired effect can procure
more thorough and efficient course by per-
sOnal application to the proprietor OF the
Worlds Dispensary.

She had seen him before and been an
noyed by him the same way many times.
So she was not surprised when he sidled
up to her and commenced 10 tread on
her new boots, and thought, brainless
idiot, that he was exerting pressure
on her toes. She looked at him with a
curiously mingled-up expression of in
dignation and contempt on her counte-

little fright kept up the scufiing till the
Indignation got the best OF the contempt.
