Mr.. Blaine. in his recent speech on the
finances, made his argument very compre-
hensiye, going back even to the year one
OF the world, and pressing into his ser
vice the Mosaic account of the creation.
He says
The thing which hath been is that which shall
be- The great laWgiver of antiquity records in
the very opening chapters of Genesis, ''that the
gold Of the land Of Havilah is good
Moses is describing Eden and its many
charms in the days Of happiness and pros
perity before the fall Everything was
good there, as the Creator expressly said.
and that of course included the finances
and circulating medium. The same Was
true OF this country before the devil OF
radlcalism enticed and deceived the peo-
pie into transgression and clothing them
selves with the fig leaves Of paper money.
The fall was easy enough, but the return
is full OF peril and difficulties, and in face
of flaming swords 1t is to the credit of
the original Satan that he didn't come
back and try to excuse himself on the plea
OF military necessity, or anything of that
kind. in the hope OF another opportunity
to deceive. Satisfied with the mischief that
he has done, he lett his victims to repen-
tance and the lessons of hard experience.

Death Of ReverdY Johnson.

BALTIMoKE, Feb. 10. Reverdy johnson, the
distinguished statesman and jurist, was found
dead this evening, at S:15 O'Clock, in the
grounds surrounding the executive mansion at

Carroll, and dined this afternoon, with other
gentlemen, at the executive mansion He was
found dead in the yard by servant

came his guest. To-day the Governor invited
Chief Justice Bartol of this State and several
other gentlemen to meet Mr.. johnson at dinner
in the mansion. They dined about p NJ. AT
dinner MIR. johnson appeared in excellent
spirits and usual health, and entertained the
gentlemen by his conversation and relating
anecdotes. After dinner he suddenly asked the
Governor to take him to the parlor He took
the Governors arm, and, walking in there, sat
down on a sofa. The Governor proposed to
have coffee brought Mr.. johnson replied.
No; if you want to smoke, rejoin your guests
and smoke" The Governor answered, Every
well; will join you in few minutes,' and re-
turned to the table. Soon Il servant appeared
and said Mr.. johnson was lying in the ward.
MIR. Johnson was found lying in the carriage
way under the porch He had evidently gone
down the front steps and around the side of the
house and fallen where he was found. He had
been there at least half an hour

Why do the good have an unequal contest

ness Pressure Isle Sunrise.
That's one OF the hard questions that
have puzzled mankind ever since the Gre
atlon. II the present Congress pushes in
yestigation into all the departments Of
government, it is hoped that solution
may be approached, so far as this country
is concerned. With the light at present
afforded, it is believed that the whiskey
frauds have had a good deal to do with it,
by supplying the votaries of sin with un-
| limited funds.
| The Rockiand Free Press puts this
heading over its leading article-.'Saving
at the spigot, and wasting at the bung.' -
1t ought to know that such rhetoric is en-
tlrely contrary to the spirit of the Maine
law, and should not be tolerated by any
prohibition paper. Besides, it is unpleas-
antly suggestive of Grant, Babcock, Nc
Donald, the western distileries and peni-
tentiaries swarming with the truly loyal.

the testimony is pretty tough on Bah. Maj.

Louis, has been upon the stand and testiii-
ed that he had delivered letters to McDon-

him with a package of 81 900 to the sub
treasury to get two $500 dollar bills. He
brought them to Joyce who enclosed them

The disposition of the President has
been taken, and will be read in course of
the trial He disclaims all knowledge or
belief in anything to impicate his secre-
tary.
There was a long and severe fight be-
tween counsel as to the introduction of
other kilograms, the defence obiecting to
them. This is very curious, considering
that Babcock has claimed that their expla-
nation was entirely consistent with his in
nocence. The court decided to admit the
kilograms, which We're accordingly read

A bad box tor Blaine-Tarbox

The editor of the Gardiner Home Jour-
nal, an independent paper with Republi-
can proclivities, makes sharp shot in the
following
The Republican papers are now filled with
the kindred and interesting topics of rebel pris-
ons and Blaine clubs. 1t is cheerful and elevat-
ing reading, in this Centennial year, and every
patriotic editor should do his best to, so far as
in him lies, int1ame sectional animosity and
hate. We hope we may be permitted to re-
mind our political compeers, that JEFF Davis is
not the rival of Mr.. Blaine for Presidential hon.
ors, and were we they, we would not discuss
Mr.. Blaine as though we thought he was.
