XULLIGAN.

The witness Mulligan is a fit instrument
for the rascally job in which he is en-
gagged. OF all the scoundrels that have
been employed in the attempt to hunt down
and destroy Mr.. Blaine he is the blacklist.
This fellow went to Washington to swear
away the character of Mr.. Blaine. On the
witness stand he was contradcted in his
statement point blank by Mr.. Fisher and
Mr.. Atkins. Either he perjured himself
or they were liars. His testimony was
not only contradicted by those gentlemen,
but is disproved by the evidence of every
respectable witness who has testified in
relation to the same subject. The public
can Judge by this whether he swore false
~. or whether all the witnesses from Scott
to Fisher and Atkins who gave testimony
contrary to his committed perjury.
But blacker than the falsehood which
Mulligan swore to on the witness stand
was his keeping of the letters from Blaine
to Fisher, which came into his hands as
clerk of the latter. and his menace of pub
fishing them in order to deter a denial and
exposure of his lying statements. In
keeping those letters he betrayed the sa
cred trust of his employer. His crime was
worse than that of common thief He
not only kept property which did not be-
long to him, but he must have deliberately
calculated to use it for base and criminal
purposes. The common thief or assassin
may strike at mans life in order to rob
him, but Mulligan. the cowardly thief,
struck at what is dearer to every honora-
BILE man than life. at character, and thus
he hoped to get his booty. And this thief,
now known to have gone to Washington
with the stolen correspondence in his pos
session, having the evidence of his thiev-
cry upon him, refusing to give up the let
tiers when asked by both Blaine and Fish
er. is the villainous instrument upon which
the pursuers of Mr.. Blaine base their
hopes to destroy his reputation and defe at
his nomination as the republican candi.
date for President! Is it possible that
the opponents of Blaine have become so
desperate that they have TO resort to such
scoundrelly tools as Mulligan TO defeat the
ex-Speakerp And don't they know that
the more they have of such assistance
the better for Blaine?

The sensational point of Mr.. Kcrr's defence, if

scarcely less attention in the country than the crime

SUNDAY AT THE CENTENNIAL--The Centennial
Commission have decided to close both buildings
and grounds on Sunday during the session. This
will propitate religious people, while it will Of
fend rs many more. who are not Delivers IN a
strictly religious observance of the first day of
the week. The clergy have been interviewed
and generally favor the closing of the doors and
gates on Sunday, though there were some
chiefly those of liberal persuasiOns-whO believ
ed that the grounds and buildings ought to be
open on Sunday, for the benefit of the mnlttudes
who are unable TO visit it on any other day. Ar
gument on either side of this question will fail
to convince the other party. The views and
preJndlces OF both are too strong to be reached
by argument. The advocate of a strictly relig-
ions Sunday contends for its divine command to
observe it, while the others declare that the
modern religious Sunday is no older than the
Puritans, and that God can be worshipped as well
in the fields, in gardens, and in contemplating
great works of mechanics and OF art, in listen
ing to a sermon or average choir singing. The
religious people have won the day in this matter,
and will feel, no doubt, that the Centennial en-
terprise will now have divine protection as well
as government subsidies.-RockestT Express.

He FEELS THE IRON OF DISGRACE IN HIS SOUL
President Grant at last seems to have the
iron of his disgraced administration enter his
soul, for, betrayed by the sycophants whose
adulations he rewarded at the public expense, by
the bosom friends whom he fsttened in the treas
ury, by the relatives he dumped as fast as found
into the public crib he longs for the ith of March
1877, when his presidency and his pain may expire
together He has seen the sycophants proved
plunderers, the bosom friends proved traitors to
the little honesty expected Of them, and he has
seen the relatives come gorged out of the public
crib to batten with insatiate nav upon Door
soldiers and lndiaps, upon anything within
reach. 1t will tend to redeem the president in
the eyes of pOsterity if this remorseful aud dis
gusted mood lasts, but it must ever be regarded
as proof of the denseness of his insensibility
that he was the last honest man iu the United
States to wish an administration that resulted in
snch official putridity at an end.-Neu York

CENTENNIAL HIsToRY.-We have received from
the National Publishing Company, a copy of the
Centennial History, embracing the history of the
United States from the discovery of America
down TO the close of the one hundredth year of
American Independence. We recently published
an extended notice of the book, furnished by the
publishers. 1t contains over 900 pages, and sew
eral hundred engravings We are disappointed
III the work. 1t is compiled by one Rev. AeCabe,
aud is simply rehash of the various histories
heretofore extant, containing a very supernciai
account of each occurrence. The illustrations
are mostly rOugh cuts that have been Pubilshed
over and over in other works, for years past.
Considerable space is devoted TO the ReVointion,
and that has been marred by the malicious hand
of bigotry. While every prayer IN congress or
in the army, and every fast day, are faithfully
recorded, one of the grandest patriots OF that
time, the brain and soul of the movement Tor
indep endence, without record Of whose work
and sacrifices no history of the K evolution is
complete, is studiously ignored. There is not q
word to show that he ever existed, or that his
services were of any value to the patriot cause.
Even the very movements that he originated
and carried ont, are passed to the credit Of 9TH
ers This accumulated trash will not be for sale
in the book stores, but agents are wanted to sell
it in every County.
