TOO PLAIN.

The effort to turn to party account the
disgrace of Gen. Babcock, is plainly evil
dent in the course pursued by the self
righteous Committee, who in their anxious
impotence to strike the Republican party
blow under which it would stagger to its
death, sprung the Belknap mine too soon
for effective political results. Its lachry-
NOSE Chairman wept bitter tears, and sniff
fed loud and long, not at the National dis
honor of Belknap's act, or from sympathy
with the weakness of his Ex- Democratic
friend and associate, but that the infamy
of Republican misrule should be mirrored
in his Mortified features.
Mr.. Clymer condescended to the role of
the vulgar partizan, when he declared
"that Belknap's crime was the outgrowth,
"the true exponent of the corruption, ex-
"travagance, and misgovernment that have
"cursed this land for years past" The
arraignment of the individual Belknap, was
lost sight Of in the formal farce played by
the crafty but laundering Chairman. Care
full to conceal the purpose of the Commit
tee from the Republican members of it until
the witness Marsh should have made out
the case, they sprung the issue upon the
country with an indecent haste, that finds
no excuse save in their partizan zeal to
serve an unworthy cause. 1t was intended
to horrify the Nation. To send the re-
sounding echo throughout the length and
breadth of the land, that the re-echoing
hills of New Hampshire might watt back
the Democratic agony that moved the loins
of incorruptible Democrats at Washington.
The plot has ANONYMOUSLY failed. The
disguise proved too transparent. The de-
mand of the Republicans for the prosecu-
ton of the criminal, is met by the mere
shifts and pretexts Of the politician. Belk-
nap waiting trial, indefinitely continues the
period rife with dark rumors of official cor
ruption in the high places of the Admin
istration. Belknap convicted, destroys the
frail fabric Of Democratic hopes.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

II the Democrats of New Hampshire
expect the revelation of Belknap's dis
honor to help Marcy's cause, the recent
town elections in that State indicate that
they will be doomed to disappointment.
Instead of deserving their cause, the Re-
publicans are displaying unusual zeal in
their canvass, and are hurting back the
base insinuation cast upon them as party,
by virtue of one mans personal and politi
cal infideity. The Presidents appointment
of Mr.. Dana, and Judge Taft, has also
treasured them, and refutes the baseless
ISLANDERS upon his administration in choos-
ing such men as his advisers.

make it a success.

A PROBLEM.
Here is simple problem in addition,
which furnishes remarkable result. An
ex- Confederate at the Capitol has charge
of raising and lowering the flag at the
opening and closing of the daily sessions
His patriotism, however, forbds him doing
the act himself. He therefore hires ne
gro, paying him for his services ten cents
per day. Now as there will probably be
one hundred and eighty days in the pres
ent session. his patriotism is going to cost
him just eighteen dollars. The result of
the problem is this: The Democratic House
has elevated this man to a position which
is manifestly disiasteful to him, and they
would add to their meager reputation by
subtracting HIM from it. 1t is rumored
however that they insist on keeping him,
and passing bill of relief. SO that the
eighteen dollars may be made up to him,
even though it becomes necessary to re-
duce the salaries of our army chaplalns.

l know of no better way to educate the
mind-providing one has mind to be edu-
cated-than to attend the seances given
daily, Saturdays excepted, by the National
luminaries of the House. They exhibit
quite a weakness, however, on the financial
question, every man seems to be as stub
born in his opinions as he is wise in his own
conceit. BY the way, their caucus met on
last Saturday night, and had long pow
WOW on currency. There were two pro-
positions before the Committee. One was
to make absolute repeal Of the Resumption
act, and the other was the Payne bill to
delay resumption and prepare for it by
gradual accumulation of coin, but after
agreeing to disagree, they agreed to ad-
journ. The members of the House are
urging another back pay grab. They are
contemplating giving five millions of dol
lars to E1-Rebel soldiers who were pension
ers before the war and suspended for dis
loyalty. The restoration of these pension
ers is great magnanimity on the part of
the Government, but to remunerate them
for the time spent while fighting to destroy
the Republic seems like Offering premium
of five millions on disloyalty.

Much that is unjust has been, and is be-
ing said against the Patrons by politicians,
accusing tho order of being political when.
ever any person inside or outside Of the
order mentions the name Of member as
even a probable candidate for au Office.
This is unjust in every respect Members
Of the order have the same right to accept
civil office as any other persons, but it is uu-
lawful for oranges as such, to take political
action by making nominations. Should the
people of Vermont see fit TO nominate Col.
j. b. Mead for governor or the voters of the
third district nominate H. p. Cotton for con-
gress, they could make no better nomination
and their being members Of tho grange should
not deprive them of the privilege of allow.
ing their names to be used as candidates for
office. They have ne special claims for office
because they are members Of the order,
neither should they be considered ineligible
to office because they are Patrons. Almost
daily we see articles from those outside Of
the order telling that the Patrons will pre-
sent candidate for this or that office. Such
statements misead the people and leave the
impression that the grange is q political Or
ganiEation which is net true in any sense.
1t is the duty Of every Patron to attend the
primary meetings. to vote for the best men
for office and to decide before he votes which
will best represent the farmers interests, a
politician OF the present school or n farmer
and citizen who is not an office seeker.
