To THOSE who have watched him closely
L. Q. c. LAMAR is one of the most insidi-
ously dangerous Southern men in public
life to-day. Beginning with his career in
the House since the war, an inquiry into his
record will show that the spirit of cum
ming, two-iaced, hypocritical political assas-
sin has been his guiding motive. When he
eulogized Senator SUMNER his words were
spread before the North rs evidence Of his
conservatism. General, then President
GRANT knew him well enough to explain
the covert object of that eulogy. "LAMAT
has the floor and is eulogizing SUMNER
was the remark of one of his visitors that
day. al am not astonished," replied Gen
eral GRANT; SUMMERS attitude just pre-
"ceding his death was that Of an enemy o
the Republican party. LAMAR hates sum
"NER's memory as ho hated the man him
self; but this eulogy comes into play nov
" as part of his accustomed policy of at
tacking the Republican party under thu
mask of sympathy and respect for one o.
ats former leaders and founders" In thi
last brief sentence may be found an analyst
of LAAAR's character as politician ant
statesman. He works negatively in every
thing, and it is safe always to mark hin
down exactly contrary to his professions.

THE Charlotte Observer occasionally in
dulges in sort of semi-barbaric piety in
politics, which is more remarkable for its
pungency of hate than for its holiness Of
purpose. On the 9th it had an especial at
tack of its peculiar type of goodness, and
walked into everybody who had not been
rebels and traitors with an extreme junction,
denouncing them by wholesale as "Scribes,
Pharisees, and hypocrites" If the Observer,
and those of its way of thinking, could only
have clothed themselves in this kind Of
piety-"Do unto others as ye would that
" Others should do unto'you"-since the close
of the war, there would be far less heartburn
ing, ill-will, and dissension in this great
country than there is to-day. The toma-
hawk and rifle piety of the South is not OF
the kind which brings peace on earth and
good will TO men"

WHY don't some Of the truly sentimen-
tai and strictly conscientious Opposition
journals find fault with Congressman
BLACKBURN for going to New York on an
election-fund assessment tour? The idea
of his being permitted to bleed the Demo-
cratic paupers of Gotham, who haven't held
Federal" Office for years, is simply horri-
BILE. 1t suggests the further idea that they
submit to his assessments because they ex-
pect to be rewarded with offices in the fu-
ture. This proceeding shocks our delicate
civil-service sensibilities. In the absence
of any fault-fnding from the usual sources,
we enter our protest. Let Mr. BLACKBURN
be recalled let the Democrats go into the
campaign moneyless, and let the Republi-
cans win. For the first time we begin to
see the beauties Of civil-service reform-if
it could be applied only to the Democracy.

he is the person referred to in Mr.. HEWITT
dispatch of January 10, 1877, to TILDEN, q
portion of which reads rs follows:
Our Senate friends earnestly favor accept
ance, because they do not believe II possible to
pass over -. The Democrats on House
committee believe this is the last chance oi
agreement.

patching up an Electoral Commission fol

of the Commission. If he is not the pass

TrLDES is a private citizen of the state
of New York and nothing more, in the light
of his present surroundings; that is If we
accept and ignore the fact that the Govern
mcnt is prosecuting him rs an income-taX
thief. But, rs aprivate citizen having some
especial knowledge Of the manner in which
the campaign of 1875 was carried on, he
would prove to be n valuable witness before
the POTTER committee. As an income-tax
swindlcr he would prove to be a fitting
cotemporary of the Pelican Perurer on the
witness stand. Let us see to it that he i:
suhp~naed. The press, or the Republican
portion of it, would be delighted to have
him fall into the hands of BEN BUTLER fol
cross-examination, and the Democratic or
gans would not dare to object 10 his being
summoned, because they pretend to believe
he is an honest man. At any rate, his baul
accounts should be examined and the
Oregon corruption fund traced back 10 tha
bari o money. This job is exactly in But
LER's line of business. He would enjoy
coming bricks for present and future us'
out of the mud in which TILDEN's persona

SoME curiosity exists to see the campaign
documents issued by the Democratic Cam
paign Committee. Thus far the only docu-
mcnt they have sent out has been n compila-
tion and garbled one at that, of JIMANDER-
SONS testimony, iuterlOrded, asit were, with
the hardly less sulphurous evidence OF
WEBER. This kind of reading matter may
do very well for distribution among that
class of voters who do not read newspapers,
aud who therefore may possibly be ignorant
Of ASDERsoS's character; but in other
quarters its circulation will damage the cir
culators. The proceeding Of the Demo-
cratic branch of Congress for the past three
years afford them no respectable material
for documents relating to other subjects,
and GLovER-but we forbear There never
was party in this or any other country so
poor on the eve of a campaign Of arguments
with which to advance its claims for further
public support. The truth is, having tasted
only a part Of the sweets Of power, the De-
mocracy is already on the defensive.

WASTE AND WANT. = Either man
must be content with poverty all his
life, or else deny himself some luxuries
and save to lay the base Of independ-
ence in the future. But If man de-
fies the future, and spends all he earns
(whether his earnings bo one or ten
dollars n day. let him look for lean
ard want at some future timc-for 1t
will surely come, no matter what he
thinks. To save Is absolutely the only
way TO get a solid fortune; there is no
other certain mode. Those who shut
,Leir syos and oaro 20 those oortain
facts will be forever poor, and in their
obstinate rejection of truth mayhap
will die in rags and filth. Let them
so die aud, thank themselves. But
mol They take sort OF recompcnsc
IN cursing fortune. Great waste Of
breath. They might as well curse
the mountains or the eternal bills.
For can tell them fortune does not
give away good and substantial goods.
She sells IL TO the highest bidder, TO
the hardest and wisest worker for the
boon Men never make so fatal mis-.
take as when they think themselves
creatures of fate; 'tis the shecrest fol.
ly in the world. Every man may
make or mar himself, whichever he
may choose. Fortune for those who
by diligence, honesty, frugality, place
themselves in position to grasp hold
of fortune when it appears in view.
rhe best evidence Of frugality is the
five dollars or more standing in your
name at the savings bank The best
evidence Of honesty consists in dill
gcncc and frugaliiy.
