IT seems the Republican city treasurer
of Buffalo, N, Y, Mr.. Joseph Bork, is a
defaulter to some three or four hundred
thousand dollars, and has gone to Canada.
He is nearly through with his second
term-was large real estate dealer, and
was connected with various business in
terests. The Buffalo Courier, of the 3lst
ult., which we got from our neighbor
John Koons, gives full account of the
startling affair, and says it is serious
disaster to Buffalo and her citizens. BorE
was the real estate god of the city, and
astonished prudent old fogies. Hevalues
his property at five hundred thousand
dollars. He was a prominent candidate
for the Republican nomination of Mayor
last fall, but Philip Becker was nomi'
mated and elected. This is only little
more contraction.

William Aliens election cannot be
held responsible for the closing of shops.
The policy of the past years is the real
cause of the disastrous situation. Labor

Of the party in power. An enormous
public debt, one-half of which is fraud
an infamous and swindling tariff and
taxing policy-extravagance and COR

CHAMBERLAIN, the Governor of South
Carolina, was elected to that Office against
the wishes and the votes of the Reform
party ofhis State but since he assumed
the duties of Office he has shown pur-
pose to rescue the State from the deplora-
BILE position reckless politicians and cor
rupt officials have placed it. His recent
refusal to issue commissions to Moses
and Whipper, the two disreptuable per-
sons elected to Judgeships by the Legis-
lature, has satisfied everybody of his
trustworthiness and sincerity, and he
nCY commands almost universal, earnest
support. Newspapers which opposed his
election praise him in high terms
Great was his opportunity and splendid
is the use he has made of it, says the
Charleston Courier So far as the news.
papers of South Carolina express public
opinion, this is the judgment of Gov
Chamberlain's constituents.

He (Spencer, of Alabama) corrupted
United States officials for whom he pro-
cured Federal appointments and forced
his appointees under threats of removal
from Office, to pay money, and some of
them to commit crimes to obtain for him
his election. He caused men to be ap-
pointed to sinecure positions in the Gus
tom House, Postoffices and Revenue
offices, with the understanding that while
in office they would not be required to
render service to the Government, but
would get their pay, and while so paid
they would employ their time in secur-
ing pledges of votes and influence to re-
elect him to the United States Senate.
He paid and caused to be paid money
to members of the Court House Assembly
to secure their votes. That's the kind
of a Radical that helps to make laws in
the Senate for the government of honest
people.

THE New York Herald correspondent
at St. Louis wrote week or SO ago Of
Joyce that he had been interviewed in
the Penitentiary, and had expressed
himself quite freely about the whisky
Ring" prosecutions. He said that, if the
government attorneys take hold of the
matter properly, they will find more con-
elusive proof of guilt against Babcock
than they had against either himself or
Mcdonald, and that there were several
other members of the Presidents house
held who would be drawn as deep into
the frauds as Babcock.
Said he: "They have already scorched
the White House, and if the prosecuting
attorneys use all the evidence that will
be brought to them in the BabCock trial
they will play hell with every man in
the Executive Mansion"

WE1oHr of character is of considerable

WEIGHT of character is of considerable
importance in passing through this
world. To this, equanimity is necessary
as well as earnestness OF purpose. Sud-
den bursts of foolish violence are wholly
incompatible with dignity of character.
In this connection it should be remem-
bered that the language We use portrays
the mind. CAS- man thinketh, so is he;''
and "out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh." In this view,
therefore, it is advisable to avoid vain
repetitions, and LETT communications
be yea, yea, nay, nay. for whatever else
cometh of evil" or folly, showing lack
of sense.

CENTENNIAL year was grandly honored
and inaugurated last Saturday in most Of
our cities. Cleveland had a great dis
play in the evening, burning gunpowder
and prepared tank of oil in the square
for Illuminating purposes. Smaller towns
did not forget the year and the day. 1t
was not wholly neglected even in Can
ton. The bands were out, and a process
sion of fantastics paraded to the amuse-
ment of old and young.

The New York Tribune very properly
insists that "if Congress is to inquire
into Irregularities committed at the last
election, it shall make the inquiry thor
ough, and ascertain from what the ir-
regularities took their rise. If it is to
ask how the administration party in Mis-
sissippi was overthrown, let it ask what
kind of party that was, and whether it
had not invited its overthrow"

BLAINE is trying to steal Grants re-
ligious thunder against the Catholics by
preparing in Congress religious amend
ment to the Constitution. Grant, how
ever, has too much of start for Mr.,
Blaine, smart Yankee as he is, to catch
up and get ahead. No doubt Blaine is
as sincere in his hostility as Grant, but
the latter is backed by Bishop Haven
and has, as he thinks, a happy start.

THE dynamite theory is becoming quite
a favorite in accounting for mysterious
accidents to steamers. In addition to the
City of Boston, it is now limited that the
recently lost City of Waco may have been
destroyed by this explosive, and there is
talk of an investigation. This theory
will, in the future probably, weigh large,
ly with persons who are calculating on
the chances of their ever again seeing
any of their friends who happen to be on
a delayed steamship.

rHEpoIICY OF HIGH TAX ADVOCATES.

The McMinnville (Tenn.) New
Era, of last week, has a very sensi-
BILE and pointed article which we
commend to the attention Of the
people:
There is q studied attempt upon the
part of some Of the distinguished gentle.
men who are now csnvassing the State
to divert the minds Of the people from
their own depressed conditions and the
enormousness Of our State liabilities,
and the excessive taxes hat will have to
be laid upon the people il the bond
holders and ring masters are to be salts
fed. They are doing this BY ignoring
all State %afairs, and holding up the ex.
cessive taxes laid upon the industries OF
the State by the Federal government.
We are free to admit that the Federal
taxation is burdensome, but we know we
cannot eIcape it. We eau manage our
State finances, and they should not be
overslauged or ignored by obscuring
them by parsding Federal taxation be.
fore the eyes of the people, 50 as to shut
out from their vision the only way Of re
lief. The people OF Tennessee have
vastly more at stake in their " govern
ment than they have in the discussion o
Federal taxation. The State is safe fol
Tilden and Hendricks, but il is not saf,
from the iron grasp Of the bondholder
aud the designing men who are ring
bound 10 their interests.

scientific teachings, should pause before
daring TO assail his character. The
manifestation made by Bishop Coke. of
the Western Diocese Of this State, is
greatly regretted-and with good resson
by the best members Of his own
church. 1t was ill-bred, and therefore
Il don't think the logic needs explana-
tion) unehrissian. Perhaps out Of a
generous desire to atone for his ofense,
perhaps out of a ~profounder interest
yelled under the pretext Of curiosity,
the orthodox element has been largely
represented in Professor Huxley's audi.
c here. 1t is more than a personal
triumph for hint is u triumph for
science-that Chickering Hall, which
will seat 1900 persons, has been crowded
for three nights at the prices paid for the
Mighty Dollar or the Black Crook.
There is hope for the future, when one
of the greatest scientific men of our day
attracts as much interest as the coarsest
or ballet.

% Saturday last Judge Heiskell, Of

to the claims Of ia Thompson and other
parties to the Offices Of sslga aaglatrates
and aohslsbles aoms Days since Pro-.
bate Judge Roy decided that these extra
Offices existed, and that tho claimants
wore entitled to certificates from Com.
missioner Worsham, but Judge Heiskell
holds the contrary opinion, and refused
to grant tho petition for a mandamus to
pompel Commissioner Woraham to issue
a certificate Of election TO Thompson.
he decides that the district containing
tho courthouse Is alone ealitled to On
pztra maglairaIs aud constable. This
leaves out all except the extra officers in
the Fiji Civil district. The case was
argued before Judge Heiskell on behalf
Of the claimant, Thompson, by General
W. Y G. Hume, and 10 behalf Of those
opposed 10 such claims by Captain U.
w. Miller who made q very able argu.
menl upon The law OF the case.
