POLITICAL NOTES.

The Maine Legislature has passed
law abolishing capital punishment in that
State.
One hundred and forty-four years ago
last Tuesday, George Washington was
born-hence, the 22d Of February.
The confederate Brigadiers" of the
Virginia Legislature have got in their
work again. They have expelled R. D,
Rufin, the colored member fiom Din
widdie county. His only offense was
that he stole the pay of another colored
member.
McCartie, Chief of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, has been white
washed and has resigned. The examina-
ton was made by the Treasury Depart
ment, and all short accounts were found
to be correct A Congressional investi-
CATION would probably arrive at a differ
ent conclusion.
Gen. Sheridan says that if the pay OF
army officers is reduced, the very flower
of them will resign. Very well, let them
resign. 1t will be no trouble to fill their
places with equally good if not better
men upon reduced salary.
If Henderson was so speedily decapi-
tated for his indirect remarks concern
ing Grant, what shall be done with
BrOdhead, who, in his argument against
Babcock, boldly charges him with COM
plicity in the whisky frauds, and says
that the White House is SO full of cor
ruption that the jury must rebuke it?
The Cincinnati Commercial remarks
that the religious formalities in schools
and colleges are like chaplaincies in leg
islative and religious bodies, without
otner effect than to keep alive a ceremo-
NAL religious device.

Ex-Secretary of the Navy Borie, one of
the witnesses in Babcock's behalf, has
been working most zealously for his
friend since his arrival in st, Louis. He
loses no opportunity to say word for
the defendant. why" he exclaimed to
group, day or two ago, "those who
know him would no sooner think him
guilty of what he is charged with than
that | would steal horsel Why, he's
only got about $4,000 now."- Washing
ton Special.
So "he's only got about $4,000 now |"
This is small sum, no doubt, in the eye
of radical ringster. But then it is
"about )" and hence may be three or
four or more times that amount Mr..
Borie does not explain how his friend
'Bab" made his fortune. Borie ought to
explain some of these ways that are
dark" and tell us how some men in place
and power at Washington have become
so rich.

the result is seen in these States, either
by their alliance with the Conservatives

SENATOR DAVIS. of West Va, wields q
dissecting knife. Last week while the
Pension Commission was under discus
sion he said he could not make it balance
into three millions, and which discrep-
ancy the Commissioner hadn't been able
to explain, although Mr. Davis had asked
him three several times. Mr.. Morrill,, Of
Maine, attempted to explain by the gen
eral term of increased PENSIONS" but,
as Mr.. Davis put it, considering that the
pension list is continually decreasing
from deaths, marriage of widows and the
coming of age of minor children, it don't
look just right" The matter was finally
laid over to await the appearance of a
bill which the Pension Committee are
preparing after the Senate had adopted
an amendment offered by Mr., Davis Civ
ing the Secretary of the Interior super
vising power over the contingent ex-
pensrs of the Pension Office. 1t was no.
ticeable that the Republican side didn't
attempt to sneer Mr.. Davis down as they
lid when he began to show up the Treas
Try Department, but were eminently
courteous and ConCiliatory.
