HOW A BARLOW ORGAN EARNS ITS MONEY.
The Burlington Clipper was one of the pa
pers whose sudden conversion, the other
day, from opposition to Bradley Blrlow to
support of that gentleman's candidacy of
Congress have been alluded to in our col.
umns. The Clippers thinly yelled avowal
of its reasons for its flop, and its uninten-
tionally frank admission that, while always
taking opposite sides from the FREE Pass.
it was never on the winning side, but
would like to be for once" created
some amusement at the time, and the smile
will broaden as people see what his new or
gan is giving to NJ. Barlow. We do not
often bave occasion to quote an editorial
from the Clipper, but its last leader seems
to US worth reprinting. Before copying it,
however, we call the attention Of our readers
to the following editorial from the Washing
ton Capital edited by Dom PiatD Of June
10th, 1873:

Mlddleburi Commencement

Opened on Sunday. with the baccalaureate
sermon at the Congregational church.
President Hubert preached from Matthew
Il, %. "Come unto me, all We that labor
and are heavy laden, and l will give you
rest" His subject was, Christ the organ
izing centre of humanity. The tendency Of
human minds, he said, is to cOngregate at
centres. This law is ioreshadowed in all
material and vegetable nature, in gravita-
tion, cohesion and chemical affinity. The
centres at which human minds have gather
ed, in politics, in science, in religion, in art
or philosophy, are called schools, and here
they have been satisfied or dissatisfied ac-
cOrding to the measure OF the truth which
they receive. Christ is the great centre, the
stone cut out of the mountain without
hands, which shall attract all who como to
it, until it shall increase and fill the whole
earth Tho sermon closed with an appro-
pirate address to the class.
The address before the Philadelphian So
ciety was delivered, Sunday evening, by
Rev A. II. Clapp. D. D, of New York,
who spoke of the demands of the country
upon the young men, and the preparation
needed to meet this demand.
WOuuay eNeuiuS, NuhTIts DuuicS NhI-
ner, of Hartford, Conn. delivered the ad-
dress before the Phi Beta Kappa society
Prof. Brainard presided. and introduced
Mr.. Warner. who spoke of several aspects
of American life. The first of these was
devotion to wealth. This desire to get
money is not peculiar to Americans. The
American differs from the nations Of the
old world in that he il as eager in the
pursuit of wealth as they, but does not
keep his hold of the wealth which he has
acquired with a. great tenacity. The
American desires money mainly for the
social advantages which it procures for him.
Although it is boosted that America lis
land of equals. the proceedings at the pO-
lice courts when two prisoners-one rich
and tho other p0or-are arraigned before
it show that boast ~ founded on fancy
Ii l. a bad sign that every ono in Amer
lea Is debt. Their - r doubt
whether America contains enough land
unsncumbered By mortgages in which |
still she has developed her resources during
the past hundred years, and there is little
doubt she Is about to enter upon an era of |
the accumulation of wealth such as she has |
never before experienced. Another charac- |
teristic of the American is his unbOunded |
confidence in his way of doing things. An
other characteristic is the desire To get |
rather than to he something. |
This characteristic, however, is not one that |
marks the American Congressman, and it is
for this reason that We, and all the world, |
admire and revere our legislative body ut
Washington.

Tho United States Supreme Court has once
more decided in favor Of the constitutional
right Of State to protect the welfare OF the
community. by means Of prohbitory legisla
ton. The case was that of the Boston Beer
Company. against the State Of Massachusetts,
to secure the value Of quantity OF malt
liquor, seized by the State under the late
prohibitory law OF Massachusetts, The
court, by Mr.. Justice Bradley. saij, in affirm
ing the decision Of the Superior Court of
Massachusetts,.
The plaintiff in error was incorporated
&" for the purpose of manufacturing malt IL
quors in all their variety" it is true, and the
right to manufacture, undoubtedly, as the
plaintiffs counsel contends, included the
Incidental right to dispose of the liquors
manufactured. But although this right or
capacity was thus granted in the most I'M
qualified form, it cannot be construed as con-
ierring any greater or more sacred right than
any citizen had to manufacture malt liquor
nor as e1empting the corporation from any
control therein to which q citizen would be
subject, if the interests of the community
should require it. If the public safety or
the public morals require the discontinuancc
of any manufacture or traffic, the hand of the
legislature cannot be stayed from providing
for its discon.inuance by any incidental in
convenience which individuals or corpora
tions may suffer. All rights are held subject
to the police power of the State.
The plaintiff in error boldly takes the ground
that. being corporation, it has right by
contract to manufacture and sell beer forever,
and in spite of any exigen-
cies which may occur in the morals or the
health of the community requiring such
manufacture to cease. We do not 50 under
stand the rights of the plaintiff. The Lcgis-
lature had no power to confer any such
rights. Whatever differences of opinion
may exist, it is said, as to the extent and
boundaries of the police power OF the State,
there is no doubt that it extends to the pro-
lection Of the lives, health and property Of
the citizens, and TO the preservation of good
order and the public morals. Nor can the
Legislature by any contract divest itself OF
the power toIrOvide for these objects.

An Editorial Pirate,

10 the Editor Of the Free Press and Times
You have the thanks of the community
for exposing SO cleverly the editorial"
piracy praeticed by the Clipper. have
frequently observed this popularity of that
Original and aggressive" sheet. Some
time ago New York newspaper con tanned
an article referring in high terms to Sena-
tor Conkliug. The same article, word for
word. with the exception of the substitu-
ton of the name OF Senator Edmunds for
that Of Conkling. appeared a. editorial in
the next issue Of the Clipper. How Yer
mOnt's great Senator must despise such eff
forts in his behalf. Cases of similar piracy
could be multiplied indefinitely. Your
happy exposure of the Clipper man has
made him the laughipg-stock of the whole
city, and if anything could shame him he
would now hide his diminishedhcad but he
won't; he will be more likely TO claim that

What Mr.. Barlow Paid TO Suppress Investlga-
tlOn OF his Mall Contracts.


February q, 1876.
The drift of the testimony of the last
week is to show that about $40, 600 was
expended by Mr.. Barlow. the great mail
contractor, to protect his interests from
competition and from the Investigations
instigated by his opponents. That money
was disposed Of about as follows,
for of its disbursement no denial
Is made; To the Farrar and Nc
Kibben combination, $4,000; McKibben
personally, $4,000; n. Wilson, legitimate
attorney lees, $4,000; Hood, useful about
Departments, $4,000. Morgan l.. Smith, a
loan, $50, 900 buying bids, 900; Jere-
miah Black. McKibben and Paschal, add
tlonal counsel fees. $1,000; total Sl3S 900.
OF the above sum $40 900 was confessedly
paid to suppress an investigation in 1872. ="
Mr.. Barlow's organs say, true he paid the
money; but he did not pay it to Congressman
or postOfEce officials. Very well. Who says
he did ? But he paid it to suppress meestiya-
non. And the fact that he paid such encr-
nous amounts for such purpose is damn
ing fact.

DOES FARMING Pay I'VE answer yes, il
men will use the same intelligence and in
dustry as they must to succeed in any other
business. Here is an instance 10 the point ::
John Quinlan, Of Charlotte. now GA years
OF age, came TO this country forty years
ago, with no money, and commenced to
work on a farm for ten dollars month.
After working some twelve years for Mr..
Ezra Mech, he bought farm of 200 acres,
where he now lives. Shortly after. all the
buildings were burned. lie now owns 500
acres in his home farm, and 400 acres
a short distance away; keeps fifty
cows; has nearly $50 head Of cat
tie to turn for beef, next Fall,
has good buildings; has raised eleven
children and given them good education;
takes the DAILY FREE Pass and keeps
" well posted" Now what this man has
done may be done by others-but | would
advise to have smaller farms. Many men
have large farms that are run over and
produce half crops, in the west part of the
State especially. Mr.. Quinlan is an excep
ton to that class of men, as al inspection
Of his crops will show.
Mr. Joshua Dean. of Charlotte, is build
ing barn 45x67, slated roof with cellar I'M
der the whole. His COW stable is on level
with the ground on the west side of his
barn in which he can tie up thirty cows.
His drive way ~ over the stable by an easy
grade On the left of the drive way is
bay the whole length Of the barn, 50 that
most of his hay is pitched down from his
wagon. lie has also moved an cid barn
next to the new one for horse stable and
carriage house-cellar under the whole.
When completed it will be very convenient
and save a vast amount of labor and
manure. Ii our farmers would Ego and do
likewise" they would all be the richer tor
it in few years. Mr.. Noonsn, of North
Ferrisburgh, Is doing the job in most
thorough manner. K.

Dem Ocrutie party in the last Congress. lie
says that nothing but fear that extreme
MEASURES would jeoplrdiEe their success in
the next elections prevented the Democrats
from revealing their full purposes. One Of
these was to break up the army and clear
the way Tor Democratic reorganization
with ex-rebel material. "Beyotd any ques-
ton, be says, ''it is the fixed purpose of the
Democrats. ~ soon as they lave control
Of both branches Of Congress, to claim
places in the army fr ex-rebels. to
place them On the en'ion rolls, to admit
them to the national military asylums. and,
in short, To give them a fall share in what
ever the nation has done, OF II doing, for
Union soldiers or their heirs" On the
question of Southern claims he is equally
emf hattie, saying IAN immense payment
of Southern claims will begin at once when
ever the Democrats secure both branches of
Congress. 1t is quite the style in many
quarters to sneer at those who make this
assertion but for all that, those who are
only surface observers here cannot fail to see
that such payments are settled cart Of the
