lustrations was the following: "On my

to the affliction resulting from the loss of

ACLEATER SCAMP
/ ON the Jersey City Herald.

'AA SuS ocieOy OItJ
During the session of the last Congress
Mr. James G. Blaine was proved to have
taken advantage of his high office of
Speaker to subsidize railroads and enrich
himself at the expense of the people and
to the disgrace Of the nation. He begged
piteously of man named Mulligan-a
former clerk to Mr.. Blaine & Co.-not to
produce certain letters compromising him
in his nefarious transaction. He i'm
plored Mulligan to save his (Blaine's)
family from disgrace and not expose him.
He threatened to commit suicide if his
misdeeds were brought to light. He asked
Mr.. Mulligan to let him have the letters
for few moments. Mulligan said he
would if Blaine should promise to give
them back to him. Blaine promised
with strong emphases. Once inhisposses-
sion he refused to return them. Then
there was a great uproar raised about
Blaine's conduct in retaining the letters.
To quiet the uproar Blaine made pretense
to read the letters to the House of Pepre-
sentatives. Mulligan said that Blaine
read only few Of them, and those he
grabbed and suppressed in part. Then
Blaine was in very bad odor, and the
House of Representatives were about to
impeach him and send him to the Senate
for trial. Then Blaine was alaI med and
feigned prostration from sunstroke.
Then his friend, Mr.. Hoar, said in the
House that it was wrong to pursue Mr..
Blaine while his life was in critical con-
dition and on that account the investiga-
tion was temporarily suspended. Blaine
played sick until Congress adjourned.
Then he jumped from his bed in a jiffy
and went on the stump to tell the people
how bad and wicked the Democrats were.
He dosen't want another Democratic
House of Representatives following up
the charges against him, consequently he
is laboring very hard to secure '.grand'
Republican victory.
And this is the sort of scamp who is
going over the country abusing Charles
Francis Adams, Gov. Tilden, Gov. Curtin
Senator Thurman, Horatio Seymour, Gov.
Hendricks and almost every other pure,
honorable, high-minded statesman in the
| nation.
Are we a nation of fools or rouges to
tolerate such an inbred rascal as James
Blaine?

Winter Room Adornments.

Country people beyond all others can
make their homes beautiful at small eX-
pense, and the material for this cheap
adornment is particularly abundent at
this time Of the year. There are not only
living plants in pots for the window-sill
but colored leaves, dried ferns and grasses,
and skeletonized plants, out of which in
Vulnerable tasteful objects may be made.
But amongst the cheapest and most in
teresting of these room adornments is the
hanging plants, which may be suspended
from hooks and brackets, and by which
the whole window can be made to look
like summer scene in the woods, al
though we be in the midst of winter.
In the closely built cities some such
window gardening attempts are made, but
are generally failures. Some highly Or
namental chinaware. or some highly pain
ted or polished 'srustic" basket is employ
ed to hold the plants, but always evident
ly to the plants misery. Plants do not
seem to admire these elaborate prepara-
tion3 for them. They seem to understand
that they only seem to occupy very in
ferior position in the temple of honor, and
no wonder they die. In our country homes
we find them in old pots, shells, stumps,
or anything that can be improvised, and
always with suscess.
What he have here written is suggested
by Centennial experience. An exhibi-
tor makes use for hanging plant purposes
OF the husk of the cocoanut and it is won
derful how plants thrive by it. 1t reminds
us OF what we have often read about in
theEnglishhorticultural papers that cocoa
nut refuse is an excellent material for the
growth of plants. Everybody knows the
cocOanut; but all do not know that this
nut is enclosed in a thick spongy covering
or husk-of an inch or two in thickness
These. e.husks are cut across in the middle
and make two baskets, and can be easily
suspended with wire. As we have already
suggested there is great fertilizing power
in the material, and there is the basket al
the same time.
| The grower to whom we refer, has in
his coaconut baskets large numbers oi
dropping kind of cactuses and other sue
culant plants, which we seldom think to
use for room purposes, but which seem tt
thrive In this way very well.
However, our purpose to-day, is not tC
speak of any one plant in particular bu
to call attention to the numberless cheaI
ways in which plants may be made tt
give attraction to our winter homes

NICARAGUA CANAL VS.. PAIFfC RAIL-

NICARAGUA CANAL VS.. Patio RAIL-
RoAD.-It is coniectured that the
Nicaraguan canal is likely to come up
in some form in Washington next
winter, either in demand for char
ter of a private corporation, or for a
subsidy, or ih proposals from France,
which is eager TO invest in that inter-
est for joint construction OF the work.
The French, however, seem to have
quite overlooked the extent to which
this country has surveyed the isthmus,
practically establishing the superiority
of the Nlcaraguan route. the cost OF
which is put at $66, ,0O0, ,O00,-The
Philadelphia Press understands that
the Pacific railroad interest will pre-
sent "united front" in opposition to
this enterprise, which would naturally
be powerful competitor with them.
Whether this means that Col. Scott is
going to move on Huntington and
Gould via Panama time only will tell,
but we apprehend that his home rail.
road affairs are, sufficiently engrossing
Just now. 1t is apparent, however.
that the Nicaragua canal affords
a strategic point against the Pacific
railroad to somebody, and the United
States government may find it for It's
interest to occupy it. We can imagine
that it might have very mellowing
effect on the stubborn litigation with
which the Pacific railroads resist the
payment of interest on the bonds issued
by the government in their behalf.

A SUIT BROUGHT BY A RAILROAD COM
PANY TO RECOVER 100000.

A SUIT BROUGHT BY A RAILROAD COM
PANY TO RECOVER 100000.
Some time prior to 1860, William A.
George w. Brown, of '0gdensburg, were
appointed trustees of the Ogdensburg, St..
Lawrence and Lake Champlain Railroad
The annual salary of each trustee was fix
ed at $1,000. In 1865 The stockholders OF
the company, realizing that the trustees
were grossly mismanaging the road, insti-
tuted proceedings in the Supreme Court
for their removal. In 1866 an order was
granted by the Court, empowering the
stockholders to reorganize the company.
Mr.. Wheeler knowing that reorganiza-
ton would remove him and learning that
under the code of practice in this State no
appeal could be taken from the order of
the Court, secured the passage through
the Legislature of an amendment to the
code of procedure that rendered such Or
ders appealable. Armed with copy of
the law, he threatened to appeal from the
order unless the stockholders would COM
promise with him by paying to him and
his co-trustees $4,000 each, their salary
for four years. The stockholder, desirous
of getting rid of the trustees, and unwil-
ling to submit to the delay consequent on
an appeal from the order consented to Mr..
Wheeler's terms, and paid him and his
associates 100000. After the company
had been organized suit was brought
against Messrs. Wheeler, Eldridge and
Brown to recover the 100000. One Of
the company's counsel wasEdward Pierre
pont. The justice before whom the case
was brought was relative of one Of the
trustees, and it was therefore removed to
the United States Supreme Court, where
it is still pending. Since the suit was be-
gun Mr.. Eldridge and Mr.. Brown have
died SIM

How 1t Strikes u Leading English
Paper.

Pail Mall Gazette.-The Federal troops
have already been called in to aid the
State Government to keep order and Sc
cure freedom of election in South Caro-
lima. This state of things is what the
Chambers aud the Mortons and the Bout
wells and the Buffers of the Republican
party have been eagerly looking for. If
they can resuscitate the hostilities of the
civil war, they will have no difficulty in
diverting the Northern mind from the
less sensational question of reform, and
then ihe election of Mr.. Hayes will mean
simply the prolongation of the present
system with new figure head. The at
tempt to turn the drift of the campaign
aside in the question of Southern outrages
will not, we may hope be successful, for,
as the most enlightened Americans per-
ceiye, the decentralization of the Republi-
can party is due mainly, if not altogether
to the fact that politicians are able to
prove themselves 'righteous" at a cheap
rate by abusing the South and associating
the South with the Democrats.

letter which is published, cannot be ques-

letter:

The dispatch to the Enquirer further
says: at is signed by Mr.. Hayes, and

which impelled his nomination by the
