Rad News from washington.

blAu NC"b - SAAA ~
The dispatches from the National Cap
ital this morning, disclosing the corrnp'
,ions and malIeasance in office oil 'he
Secretary CT War, are such as 10
surprise and shock the whole country.
The neople OF the United States oil all
p,r,ie, will read them with pain and
humiliation. II really seems incredible
,ho,,o hiph an office Of the Government
.bould enter into such nefarious schemes
ofplundcr. And yet the same department
oftbe Government has once before been dis
v,aced by the corruptions OF its chief, in
the person OF John B. Floyd, Secretary OF
War under James Buchanan, who achiev-
ed notoriety in the Fort Smelling affair
sufficiently infrmous. to stand as war
niur,o his successors for all time to come.
As we write, the news is coming over
the wires concerning the nature Of Secre-
t,ry Belknap's transactions, and We must
refer the reader to our Congressional re.
ports for full particulars. The guilt Of
the officer stands confessed, and there is
no dsubt about it. He is only too anx-
ious to resign and escape impeachment.
Az vet ii is not certainly known whether
his resignation has been accepted by the
President.
And speaking OF the President, the
country will deplore the swift occurrence
Of such an exposure upon the heels Of the
Babcock trial. The question will be,
where is this thing OF corruption in high
Office to end? Have we seen the worst of
it, We have had Boss Shepherd expo
.ures, Jayne-Sanborn exposures, Avery,
Mcdonald, Joyce, Babcock, Schenck, and
Belknap exposures, and now what next?
The lightning strikes very pcrsistently
at high appointees of the Presidents Not
that he himself stands implicated, but
that, most unfortunately, he seems to be
the centre of q group Of oiIice-holders
such as no President should care to be
surrounded by.
The country, while deploring General
Grants mistaken partiulitics,a nd friend
ships, personal and political, will grow
more impatient than ever at the talk
about third term. The motto Of the
Rothschilds is said to be, "have nothing
to do with an unlucky man." The coun'
try will now be inclined to utterly scout
the idea Of a third term for President
Grant, on the ground, il for no other
reason, than that he is such an unlucky
man in his surroundings. They will want
to try the experiment OF substituting
some one who will more certainly discern
the moral quality OF those whose conduct
isto give character, good or bad, to his
administration.

The Bellairc correspondent Of the IN:

that Barnesville seemed to be jealous Of

What Makes The Dinere

Did you ever notice the difference be-
tween the appearance of a man and
women on a hot summer day ? 1t is
one of the strangest things in nature.
You meet a man and you see him
hopping the sweat from his face,
which in color would shame a beet,
digging the dirt from his eyes, his
collar wilted, his coat wet through,
and in answer to your inquiry, he
soys "Hot l should rather think
So" and then he proceeds to regale
you with a history of his troubles
how the rubber in his suspenderS
has melted and run down his back
how he could wiring barrels of per-
spiration from his shirt-how his flesh
is evaporating like dew from the
fowers-how he has been sleeping
on the grass-how the very pave
ments have Scorched his boots, par
boiled his feet, and finally winds up
by exclaiming he "never saw any
thing like it,"
At the next corner you meet a
lady, and just mark the contrast.
Elegantly dressed, cool and smiling,
with dainty collar, jaunty tie, hair
nicely combed, eyes bright, spotless
kid, no dust, no pe%rspiration, no ex-
clamatian, no scrubbing of the face,
but everything apparently as pleas
ant and comfortable as on a calm,
cool delicious day in autumn. She
don't hurry a bit, but walks leisurely
along, stopping now and then to adj
mire the beautiful sights in the win
dows, using her parasol as an orna-
ment rather than a protection, and
by some peculiar ledgerdemain al
ways escapes the crowds which en-
velope and almost strangle less for
tunate mortals. She never makes
an enqui ny about the state of
the thermometer, never looks
longingly at soda fountains
nor squanders her currency for iced
sherry OF mint juleps. She is never
in a hurry, and does not dash franti-
cally for the shade of every slip of
awning on the street, and stand
there waiting for a cloud to obscure
the sun, and yet how she always
manages not only to keep, but to
look so enticingly, so luxuriously
%contented, is what the whole of us
can't find out.

Protect Your Horses.

1t is hardly necessary to impress
upon the minds Of those accustomed
to the handling of horses, that great
care should be exercised in working
or driving them during this hot
weather, but there are some persons
who occasionally ride or drive horses
who have an idea that there is no
limit to their endurance. Such per-
sons are very apt to injure horses
during this hot spell. They seem to
think that a horse can be driven and
urged along, with no more concern
for his comfort and wants, with the
mercury at SO in the shade, than if
the weather was cool and pleasant.
Such persons ought never to be al
lowed to handle as noble an animal
as the horse.
