COMMITTEES.

Were one to rely wholly upon the press
of to-day for information, the readers
would become impressed with the idea
that so far as corruption, thieving and
peculation were concerned, they hold
their heads higher in this age than ever
before, and that our body polite had be-
come mess of gangrene and fostering
sores. Two things should be borne con-
stantly in mind, in order to reach just
conclusion i'll the premises. First, never
before in the history of our government
were such opportunities and inducements
of corrupting character, offered or pre-
scented to officials, as now. Second, the
late war threw class Of men into prom
incnce, that otherwise would never have
been known to the country as officials.
In some respects the war was bad edu-
Gator. Too many men vaulted from the
glories of the battle field into positions
of trust and honor-men reputed for
bravery, but destitute of the true ele-
ments Of character. 1t requires the best
seasoned timber to build our staunch YES
sells, it will never do to use drift wood.
Men have been human always. The po-
litical press of the present day like unto
that Of the early and middle ages Of our
Republic, is given to exaggeratior and
guilty. The Democratic press has sought
to fasten corruption upon all officials, in
Guiding the President himself, while the
Republican press has leveled its bat
terics at some Of its own leaders, in order
to build upon their ruins, the fortunes OF
some favored ones, all alike feeding upon
the same putrid meat, scandal. Disap-
pointed, low lived, miserable men, for
profit or no1oriety, perjure themselves
to ruin upright and honest men. The
same has been done in all ages of this
Republic.
Washington was accused of nearly all
crimes known to man, and of making
money out of his position for himself and
friends. The great John Adams was
branded by q hostile press as traitor,
and Of tending all his powers and tortur.
ing official patronage to secure his re-
election. He was Very sensitive and left
Washington broken hearted man, lot
waiting to greet his successor, or attenC
his Inauguration. Jefferson was openly
charged with bribery. He was stigma
tized as an infdel and the father of color
ed children. Times were hard in Mad
sons administration, and tar barrels

beneficial results. About year ago, my little
girl, then three years of age, had a very severe
attack of Scarlet Fever which left her with her
ears discharging and almost entirely deaf; tried
your remedy, and after she had taken about six
bottles, was gratifed by perceiving that her hear
ing was wholly restored, and up to this time has
remained so, and otherwise, much better than
before she was taker sick.
