.tftcr the democratic platform had been adopted

a plank had been devoted to the soldiers and sail

Of the following resolution:
RESOLVED. That the soldiers and sailors of the
republic, aud the widows aud orphans Of those
who have fallen in battle have iast claim upon
the protection aud gratitude OF their fc!lowcti-

As tins resolution is rather indefinite, not men-

general support. If the time should ever come
when the heirs Of cx-Confederatcs shoald apply

were referred to- but this construction would hard

such treatment before them it is hardly possible
that this piece of buncombc will capture single

About Mileage.

Mr.. Talbot's house, asked and received pay for
only 100 miles, which is al least ten miles more
than the real eistance.-Hepublican july lst.
The Union of the present week undertakes to
parry the force OF the above fact, by publishing
the distances for which the representatives, and
Senator, from this county took pay for the year
1873. This does not help the matter at all. The
fact remains that John &. Talbot, the reform can.
dldate Of the democratic party for Governor Of
Maine, asked and received pay for 100 miles from
his home III East Alachas to Augusta, when the
most liberal computation cannot make ii over 100
miles. The Union says that j. w. Lyman to )k
pay for 1855 miles. We have before us the pay
roll for 1875 which gives the number of miles
computed by MIR. Lyman as los, which he hi n
self says is correct. This foot note is also append

when he was entitled to just 40 cents, and no
more. There is more than this to this matter of
reform. The statute provides that members sha Il
receive two dollars for every twenty miles from
their place of abode, once in each session. Ia
1877 Mr.. Carlton member from Whitetield got a
resolution passed after the pay roll was made up,
in these words "Resoved, that the State Treas

member and officer of Mis legislature, double the

of this language in debate: "My constituents are
willing for me to get all can" The Union pub
fishes the nu,nber of miles and the sums paid, as
made up on the pay roll, and in Mr.. Lyman's
case omits the foot note which SAYS the sum for

which means that Mr.. Lyman did not take pay
for travel but one way, and made his mileage very
near what it really was, while Mr.. Telbot the re

BILE fcr Governor OF New York which have re-
Gently appeared in Mr.. BKNSErTs paper, were

Is preposterous idea. MIR. BENNETT cannot be
actuated by such petty motives. Besides, be
knows very well that there Is no distinguished
citizen OF this State for whose talents aud cnar-
acter we entertain more sincere respect
than for those Of Sir. MARBLE and 10 one to
whose elevation we should contrit ute with more
unfeiened satisfaction. THIS Boston writer
should get more sense before he undertakes to

rcss OF population is not directly proper

GENTLY subversive Of Mills theory, but
actually moves at n relatively greater rate
Thus Pomerania and Westphalia, in re-
spect OF density of population, differ as
one to two, while as regards their mean
annual gain during the last four years,
they vary as one to three. Again. the
number of inhabitants TO the square mil

turns for the several federated states point
in the same direction, and we infer that
the facilities for meeting the necessities of
life are not contracted, but augmented, by
the agglomeration OF individuals within
small areas, and the multIform and intense
activities that grow out Of It.
In the distribution OF the German popu-
lation we recognize the symptoms Of that
social change which is by no means inao-

sontially transformed the British Isles. Ow-

the middle-aged citizen of Bonn OF Stet-

Dclknapism IN the Scnatc-Thc Vote
of Yesterday.

Tnking refuge behind n tcchnicality that
had been overrulcd by a majority vote OF
The senate itself Mt the opening of the i'm
parchment trial which ended yesterday
The Republican Senators have evad-
ed the iniquitous facts OF tue case
and failed to convict the brlDc-taker
BFLKNAP 1t would have been TOO absurd
m them to pronounce him not guilty OF
The hiph crimes and misdemeanors with
which he stood charged for his guilt had
been established, not merely by his own
virtual confession, but by body
Of direct evidence that could not
be shaken. But he has been shielded
by Republican votes from the proper
and Just penalty of his misdecds, under
The pretext that the jurisdiction OF the
Senate. In impeachment trials, did not ex-
tend over functionaries who resigned
office after the exposure OF their ctimi-
nality. He had cunuingly handed i'll his
resignation, which GRANT instantly and
iccommodatiuglyn accepted. after the eNl-
acnce against him had been produced !;
md thus, by this trick, secured for him
self the patry plea of which lac has been
SLOWED to take advantage.
The vote by which BELKNAP's so called
Acquittal has been brought about was Who'll
~ made up of Republican members. with
The single exception OF EAToS of Connec-
ticut; and IL embraced an actual ma
joritv Of the Republican members Of the
Scnofc Tho Democratic Senators, near
lv MI of whom voted for conviction
were sustained by number OF Republican
members; but n two-thirds majority was
required. The Republican party, MS rep
resented In the Senate, is thus directly and
indisputably responsible for the escape OF
this guilty man. They must defend and
justil y this infamy before the people, who
will not be satisfied with the subterfuges
by which justice has been defeated.
Many OF them doubtless, felt that they
could not convict BELKNAP without injur-
Ing the Republican party as much as 1t
would be injured by his acquittal. Not n
few Of its other high officers and leaders,
Including members Of the Senate itself,
have been guilty of offences like those with
which BELkNAP stood charged. His con
viction would have been an assault Oh
GRANT himself.
The guilty Secretary has escaped convic-
ton in a pitiful way; but no man who has
read the evidence can entertain any doubt
of his criminalty. In his acquittal, both
the Republicans and the Democrats of the
country are furnished with a spectacle of
dishonor which may well set them all
thinking.
