mccracy to arouse the Union sentiment in
tie East. They saw and recognized that
the blow was not SO much directed at
Belknap as against the unity of the Re-
public. They saw how blood-stained
rebels and their abettors were working up
q case to injure the Republican party and
thus remove barrier to their disintegr
ing designs, and they resolved to come as
one man to the rescue, the result being .
sweeping Republican victory and the utter
discontinue of the disgruntled Democracy.
The Democracy will doubtless attach the
blame of their defeat to the truthful but
ndiscreet Hill and the bad record of XIX
Robbins; but the facts were that New
Hampshire Republicans felt no more re-
sponsible for Belknap's conduct than our
forefathers did for the treason of Arnold.
The treason of the latter inspired the
Colonists to make more determined efforts
to be ridden of foreign oppression, and the
expose Of the former by rebel instrumental
isy rather tended TO strengthen than
weaken the Party of Equal Rights. Thus
have the unterrifed Democracy been
hoisted by their own petard.

ANOTHER Democratic leader and a pos
sible candidate for President has been
caught in the tolls of railroad ring. 1t
is no less a person than Governor Trlden,
of New York. The charges against him
are set forth in bill in equity in the United
States Circuit Court for the Southern dis
trict of New York, against Samuel ]. Til
den and other defendants, who, as is
claimed by the complainant, the St. Louis,
Alton and Terre Haute Railroad Company,
were stockholders in the company, and by
their associates elected and chosen as a
committee to dispose of bonds and stocks
and to reorganize the road, and also con-
stituted a purchasing committee. This
was in April, 1861. Subsequent to this,
and after settling the pressing accounts Of
the company, Mr.. Tilden and the other de-
PENDANTS, as is alleged by the complainant,
still had large sums of money belonging to
the company in their possession, and from
this money they appropriated to themselves
large sums for the services which they pro
fessed to have performed. In this way
Samuel ]. Tilden received $50, 600. The
complaint further alleges that Mr.. Tilden
and his associates have never rendered an
account of the trust reposed in them, mol
Of the moneys committed to their care.
Verify, Gentleman George will soon have
congenial political company.

one reason that they are sought after is be-
cause in many places and situations igno-
rant labor is as well paid as men who have
fitted themselves for higher positions in life.
Many of our statesmen are very willing to
be economical when their plans only seek
to reduce wages. Labor men everywhere
should watch the votes of their Representa-
tives, and those thatseek to reduce Govern
ment employee will seek to cut downevery
man who tolls for his bread. As to work
ing on farm in preference to going into q
Department as clerk. is question which
admits ofgrave doubts; but the farm laborer,
if he is not working for man who is afraid
he will get proud if he makes respectable
living, saves more money each year than
first class clerk can if he have q family.
Who says these salaries are high7 Who
paints the pictures that lurathese styoung
men of the finest talents" from the farm to
these hot, sitting rooms Of our Executive
Departments? 1t is done in the halls of
Congress by men who ought to know that
most of the salaries are not more than they
ought - ve. Mr.. Cochrane stood up nobly
for the laboring man, and for this honest
effort we thank him on behalf of men who
earn their salaries and live economically.

MILLER ON sALARIFs.

A Republican member of the House has
declared that to stop active, intelligent
young men from seeking to secure Govern
ment positions you must reduce their
salary. He does not have the temerity to
assert that clerks now get mole than
enough TO live respectfully, but that
they receive larger salary than bust
ness men give to untried assistants. If
this is so, what provision does the hon
orable member propose for those who have
become efficient by application and in
dustry? Does any one suppose that the
kind of men who win honorable positions
in professions and trades would consent to
continue their positions in the Govern
ment employ beyond such time as they
could fit themselves for other pursuits, If
their salary is to be cut down below fair
living rate! This trush for Office is not a
new phase of the country's history. There
are plenty of men in the gentleman's dis
trlct who would be willing to serve in Con-
gress without pay, merely for the honor
of the position. Would it be wise meas.
uiC8 UOu4u luC pOOlJ Jul dlnUiIlOuS
young men Of the Twenty first New York
district be willing to see this proposition
become a law?
There is not great difference between
the price paid by private parties and tn !,
Government in matters of salaries. Take
the price paid to good book-keepers in any
of our large cities where the cost of living
is equal to that in this city, and the differ
ence is not at all marked. Reducing the
salaries of clerks below fair living rate
will not prevent them being pushed from
their stools by men who are willing to fill
the place and draw the salary, trusting to
their wits to cheat some one orthe Govern.
ment out of enough to supply the deficiency.
There always has been, and always will
be, q scramble for Office, and the gentleman
cannot legislate so that he will not have a
dozen competitors next fall These Gov
eminent places are the common heritage OF
the poor men of all the land who desire to
earn fair salary for fair days work. and

HERE is a curious story abou: Mr..
Landers, the rampant Indiana infl4tionlst.
A little lawsuit which Mr.. Landers has
been conducting in indianapolis lets a
flood of light on his devotion to the afore-
said sufferers" In February last he
took two promisSory notes on sufferer, I"
the same being made payable, not in the
greenbacks which Mr. Llnders loves, but
in gold, which he hates. The notes were
not paid at maturity, and Mr.. Landers
brought suit for them and recovered
judgment. Now the question arises, why
should man who believes greerbacks bet
ter than gold, who believes that Govern
ment stamp ON piece of paper is the best
kind of money, prefer to have his notes
paid in gold? The only explanation seems
TO be, says the New York Tribune, that
Mr.. Landers is humbug.

ports over imports was S11, 134,729. In
January, 1875, the gold value Of exports
was SOS, 297, $40, and the excess of exports
over imports was s22, 500, Al. The exports
for January, 1875, however, comprised
$11, 142, 1872 in coin and bullion, against
s., 352, ga In January, 1876. This falling
off IN the export of the precious metals has
been quite marked for several months past,
and may be due in part to the effect OF the
Sherman resumption bill, in stimulating
bankers to strengthen their coin reserves,
but is also attributable in some measure to
the increased yield of some of our great
staples, especially cotton, of which the ex-
ports during December and January last
amounted to S57, GAS, GEO, against S51, 415,-

ponesTIc EXPORTS.

From the summary statement of our ex-
ports and imports for January, 1876, just
issued in printed form by DIR. Young, the
chief of the Bureau of Statistics, we gather
some facts in regard to the details of our
foreign trade for the month in question, in
addition to those heretofore furnished by
the same officer. The exports of few of
our leading staples during January, 1876,
and December, 1875, were as follows:

A new feature in the Belknap investigation
came to light yesterday. The sixth member
OF the committee was placed on the witness
stand-it was Gibson, of the New York Sun.
The House appointed five committee men,
and Hester Clymer took Gibson to his bosom
and commissioned him as the sixth. Accord
ing to Gibson, he was the handspring OF the
whole investigation. This drops Hester ely
mer's stock down to about 10 cents on the
dollar. The New York World has given
Clymer all the credit for the exposure, and
now Gibson says he did the work and Hester
helped him. There is something exquisitely
rich about this, something that touches a man
in the ribs and makes him laugh in spite of
himself. Clymer, the tool of Detective Glib
son; second fiddle to the agent of the Pirate
OF the Press If this thing.;s kept up much
longer the probability is that the devil will
take the stand himself and swear that he did
the work and Gibson helped him. Thislwill
be bad for Clymer. This will make him third
fiddler. Hester, the third fiddler. How it
would sound
