Printing Office Secrets.

The Brunswick Telegraph properly says,
of the secrets of a printing Office; "a
properly conducted printing Office is as
much a secret society as is Mason S
Lodge. The printers are not under an
oath of secrecy, but always feel themselves
as truly in honor bound to keep secrets as
though they had been put through triple
oaths. An employee in printing Office
who willingly disregards this rule in re-
gard to printing Office secrets, would not
only be scorned by the brethren of the
craft, but would lose his position in the
office. We make the statement because
it sometimes happens that communica
ton appears in newspaper under an as
sumed signature which excites comment
and various persons try to find out who Ii
the author. Let all be saved the trouble
of questioning the employees or attaches Of
the printing Office. They are know-noth
ings on such points as these. On such
matters they have eyes and ears but nj
mouth, and if they fail tc observe Thu
rule, let them be put down as dishonorablt
members of the craft.

The return to silver currency brings up
the question Of comparative cost with the
fractional paper currency now in circula-
ton. The statement of the secretary of
the treasury on the subject is curious The
fractional notes last less than a year, and
their renewal every year costs the govern
ment 81 100000 on $37,000,00O, while a
similar amount will only cost 1855, 900 in
the coinage, and will last for fifty years.
The annual loss of fractional currency to
the people is estimated at 100000, and
the gain to the government, estimating
the cost of bullion in bonds and the inter
est on them, will be 100000 But people
are never satisfied. Already they are
growing about the weight, etc.

Corpulence is becoming such wide
spread complaint in these days of prospect
ty aad good living, that any method by
which the adipose envelope may be re-
duced. without an entire sacrifice of the
pleasures of the table, must be welcomed
by large number of people-or, at any
rate, by a number of large people. Such
a method is the system invented by Mr.,
Banting, an English gentleman, and it is at
present employed in putting into condition
the jockeys of the French and English
turfs. There is nothing in the system to
terrify the most eager gourmand. This
is the daily menu which constitutes the
basis of the method: At breakfast, abou,
ten ounces of beef mutton, kidney, fried
fish, ham. or any other kind of cold meat,
except pork; good-sized cup of tea, with.
out milk or sugar, and little cracker OF

THROW THE BLAME ON THE
DEMOCRATS,
AND GET A BAD SETBACK.
They Try to Shield Belknap and throw
the Blame on The Woman.

In the house, on Friday, the 10th, Mr..
Bass. of New York, Republican member Of
the committee on expenditures in the war
department, attempted to throw the blame
of Marsh's escape upon Mr.. Clymer, chair
man of the committee.
Mr. Clymer replied to Mr.. Bass. He
would not nave said word on the subject
were it not that the recollection of his col
league (Bass), differed essentially and
thoroughly from the recollection Of every
| other gentleman on the committee, SO that
his colleague stood in an attitude that one
witness did against four. He proceeded to
read extracts from the statements of
Messrs. Danford, Blackburn and himself
and from the records of the committee 10
order to refute Mr.. Basis statements, but
he was interrupted by Mr.. Danford, who
asserted that there was not the slightest
discrepancy between his lDanford's) and
BASIS statements
MIR. Clymer said he would leave the
house and country to Judge of that. If the
statement of the gentleman from New
York was correct then it was impossible
for the statement made by the other four
members Of the committee to be correct
He wished to state once for all that if any
member OF the committee. when the wit
ness (Marsh) left the room, had made the
slightest suggestion that he should be re-
tanned, neither himself nor any other mem
Der would have made the slightest objec

The PARTY Respousible.

1t is claimed by Republicans who realize
that their party has received a staggering
blow in the fall of Belknap, that this dis
grace is his alone; that none can attach to
the party, and that it can in no way be
held as justly censurable. The Iowa City
Press says, if this be true, which it is not,
what guarantees of the efficiency and
integrity of an officer have the people
What inducement to honesty, or to the
selection of honest men, will there be to a
party that can at pleasure. shirk all blame
and accountability for the acts of its men,
bers and leaders? While party is in
power, and in full control of the govern.
ment, that party. as whole, is account.
able for the behavior of its public servants,
and for all acts of legislation. No other
rule is safe or reasonable. IF the Repub.
lican party is to be regarded as in no way
blamable for the derelictions of its Bel
knaps, Richardson's, Babcocks, Williams
and Robesons, then what is it blameable
forP IF it can relieve itself of the odiau
attaching to its administration, and to it,
public men as well, of what practical bene
fit to the country is it? We are greatly
mistaken if the people of the country will
not condemn the party that has permitted
if not perpetrated, the acts of maladmin
istration that have characterized the gov
eminent of the nation by the Republican
party, as did the people of New York cit,
repudiate and condemn the Democrati
party of that city that permitted tn
Tweed frauds.
