ANOTHER HOLE IN THE BLOODY SHIRT"
During the recent political campaign in
Mississippi, Capt. Arther W. Allyn, u S.
A., commanding detachment of federal
troops at Jackson, was asked to loan
Democratic mass-meeting cannon with
which to fire salutes. As he had done the
same thing for the Republicans he thought
it would be unfair to make any distinc-
ton, and 80 loaned the gun. Some loyal
brother Immediately wrote to Washing
ton, charging Capt. Allyn with having
turned over government ordnance to
the rebel Democracy for the purpose of
intimidating the loyal blacks!" A court
martial was summoned, which, after in
vestigating the matter, at once and unani-
mously acquitted Capt. Allyn. Mean
while, however, Morton had put the oc-
currence among his list of "outrages,
and now the Indiana Senator is disposed
to damn the court-martial for not sustain
ing his indictment. There are great
many holes in the "bloody shirt" this
year
The Maine Standard thinks Mr. Blaine
reaches the climax of human assurance
when he presumes to read to the Demo-
cratic party homily on hard money,
while the leading financial maxim of his
own party has been that "a National debt
is a National blessing"-a party that
fought against Jackson, and for Nicholas
Biddle and rag-money-that derided Ben
ton and his hard-money doctrines, and
that has ever been the persistent oppo-
nent of hard-money as relic of barba-
rism

Quite an amusing episode happened to three
young men from Searsmont, who came to this
city to attend the Temperance convention on
Thursday Of last week. They left for home
about nine O'Clock in the eyeniGg,-one on foot
and the others to follow on with the team.
They went out on Congress street, and on turn
ing the corner near the residence of Nehemiah
Abbott, the sleigh struck rock, overturned
and threw them out. The harness breaking
the horse disengaged itself from the sleigh and
travelled on alone. One of the young men start
ed in pursuit and caught the animal after a
chase of about mile. The remaining unfor-
tunate lowered near the scene of the disaster
and meditated on the event. Should he follow,
and leave the sleigh behind? No. He placed
himself between the shafts and went over Will
sons Hill, presenting the appearance of thief
making Oft with his booty. At Frank Banks
he came up with his friend and the horse. In
stead of fixing the animal into the almost unin-
injured sleigh, they stripped him of his har-
ness and went on,-One leading the horse and
the other dragging the sleigh. When near
home they met the first named individual who
lent them hand. At O'Clock in the morning
this mournful procession filed its way SORROW
fully into town and to their homes. They don't
like to hear any thing about that ride.

the true cure for corruption in the revenue

thrown the Civil Service Reform bantling

the House its present Democratic majority.
If the Democratic party had treated this
demonstration with reserve and prudence,
and with sincere recognition Of itz real
meaning, they would not now perhaps
have cause to lament the reaction which
has followed aud yet threatens. But a
few insensaie journalists and stupid public
men Of the Democratic party, some of the
ultra Bourbon type and Others hopeless
fools, have con,rived by mingled insolence
and obstinacy 10 disgust even the reform
ers among the Republicans and thus We
stand to-day. The great majority Of the
Republicans are determined rs support
their ticket against the Bourbon Democ-
ncy, IL It leads them aud leads the country
to perdition while another important body
Of Republicans who want reform. but do
not propose to turn Democnts, or turn
into anything else, in order to get it, look
on with indignant indifference. And
while this Is the situation, there seems to
be 40 symptom of reconciling the difficulty
But whether the present attitude Of the
Democratic party in relation to the Re-
publicans, reforming and otherwise, be or
be not a necessity made inevitable by the
nature Of things and the weakness Of hu-
man nature, il is at any rate fact that
confrouts us as the principal key of the
situation. II there were nothing excep-
tional and abnormal in the condition Of
the Democratic party, and If It had wise
men for leaders, il would come into power
very much as the present House of Rep
resentatives was spoken into existence.
But powerful as was that outburst Of pub
lie disgust there Is great danger that il
will not be repeated, Notwithstanding the
extraordinary disclosures and renewed in
centiyes now stimulating the public mind.
Both reforming Republicans and REFORM
ing Democrats feel the pressing necessity
for public action that will express the pub
lie Judgment upon the culprits who have
brought such deep disgrace on the country;
but the method Of such action, we are sorry
to say, is not. yet clear. Il is a question
Of candidates and Of their personal char
acter and antecedents and neither hack
Democrat nor a hack Republican will an
swer; and thus there is imminent peril of
perpetuation rather than cure Of our
existing crimes aud disorders. The peo-
pie themselves must rise in the spirit Of
great reform, if anything valuable is to be
accomplished and we hope soon to see
better prospect Of sich an uprising.

TURN Or BURN.
George William Curtis, Editor of Har-
per's Weekly, says Recent events, cul-
minating in the crime and disgrace Of the
Secretary Of War, the return Of our Min
ister in England under charge Of swim
ding, and the declaration Of the Attorney
General that he has aascertained" the
private secretary Of the President to be a
thief Of private papers, leave no sensible
Republican in doubt that there is but one
way in which Republican success can be
assured in the Presidential election Of this
year, That way lies IN radical and
thorough change Of the spirit and charac-
ter and tone. Of administration. II is
puerile 10 say that Mr.. Belknap is only an
individual, and that party should not be
held responsible for the conduct aud char
acter Of all who choose to act with il.
Our Government is one Of parties, and the
party in power cannot evade its response
bility. What Is the value Of party prin-
ciples and professions If the men trusted
to put them into practice ara unfaithful
or dishonest? Can the Republican party,
for instance, claim to be a party Of civil
service reform merely because at its last
National Convention it declared for it in
the most unreserved terms, but when it
had gained power eontemptuously discard
edit? Or can the Democratic party claim
to be in any sense the party of 'hard mon
ey, whatever It may say in New York or
elsewhere, while its majority in the House
shiyers aud yields to the rag champions
The truth is undeniable that ten years ago
the Republican party had the fairest op-
portunity that was ever offered to politi-
cal organization. Is it any less true that
this year its only chance of success lies in
is power to persuade the country that it
is not hopelessly corrupt? *[That would

The President must bear his share Of
