TEE POWER OF JUDGMENT.

Surmises and suppositions cannot
I'LL the place of opinions formed by
penetration and discernment. A
man Of penetration is as slow to de-
eide as he is quick to apprehend,
calmly and deliberately weighing
every opposite reason that is offered,
and tracing it with most judicious
penetration. All 4hese one must
possess to have the judgment Of Plu'
tarch, to discriminate between right
and wrong while to have the clear
perez p,ion Of Ge.ho enc must be
willing to breathe a foreign atmos-
phere, aud, freed froms prejudice,
feel the inspiration of other scenes
ADD conditions. If, in fact, we wish
our life-structure to be perfect, we
must give it cur personal care, lest,
while we sit with folded hands and
placid minds, the toiteTing structure
over us falls with crushing violence
to the earth, buryiGg US amid the
ruina.

THE New Orleans Price Current,
which seldom DIVORCES from the paths
of trade to dabble in the field of poll
tiles, is constrained to say of the
Senatorial investigation now going
on in that city, thai "the testimony
already given would, to any impar~

favor of Mr.. Spofford," bat that Mr..
Kellogg has in Senator Cameron "sn
earnest and vigilant supporter, who
has alle we'd no opportunity to pass
to prevent the success of the Demo>

probably be majority and MINORS

WHEN Post Office Department
official who receives a salary of 3d.
500 finds himself able to purchase a
$4,000 house ia Washington, il
must be conceded that there is very
handsome margin for profit in office
holding. But Second Assistant
Postmaster General Brady's case
does not illustrate the existence of
this margin nearly SO conelusively
as do the cases Of some other promi~
nent officials, Secretary Shermap's,
for instance, who has become a mil
lionaire on salary which has never
been above $4,000 Is it not won
derfuI that a great party should have
resorted to fraud in order to retain
the privilege of this most remarkable
margin for profit, Or should nov

FROM QUA CORRESPONDENTS

WAsHINGToN,.D. c., Dec. /, ~
Congress met at II M today,
when the Presidents message was
read, 10 itself very unimpor.ant in
its subject matter
The Democratic party in the two
houses seems to be at present divid.
ed on the question whether or not il
shall follow up its fight for free eiec-
tions Hesitation on this point ia
probably caused by belief that
some of the apparent disasters Of the
Fall elections were due to the de-
bates already had on this subject. |
do not entertain this opinion. Ia
discreet ut:erances of some demo
Gratis artfully made prominent by re
publican papers and speakers, may
have affected the votes of few men
il the North, but there we're an
questionably conpeusations for all
such LOSSES. The great States OF
New York, Indiana, and Ohio, are
So likely to give their suifrsges to
the democratic as to the Republican
party, and the vote in Connecticut,
New Jersery, California and Oregon
is By no means such as to make
hem certain for the Republicans -
% some of these States by the way,
it is likely that the democratic posi-
ton on elections or juries was iuja'
rious to the interests of the party.
On sew York local quarrels did the
mischief, ia California there was no
strict party issue in the contest, and
in Ohio it is fair to attribute a, least
as large portion of our loss to other
causes. On the whole, therefore, |
shall not regret to see the Democfa
cy repeat in judiciouO manr or its
devotion to such great constitutional
tights as pertain to iuries and cleo
hons.
But if it is decided to let the re
cord on those subjects stand az it is
there is plenty to do 10 the line Of
practical affairs The expenses Of
the government are too great, and
might be reduced at once without 10
reference with the working Of any
of the Departments. The civil SER
vice ought to be reformed, and this
is seen plainly enough since Mr..
Hayes has been 10 the White House.
It cannot be accomplished until laws
are passed on the subject and penal
ties are provided FIR violating them.
This work will require great care
aud perhaps may not be completed
at this session, bat beginning can
and should be made.
EffectuaI means should be taken
to prevent the yearly recurrence OF
Indian difficulties Since the war
nearly one hundred army officers,
and a proportionate number OF enlist
ed men have been slaughtered in
these unnecessary outbreaks, border
settlers harassed, and Che Indians
made more wretched
than il let alone. Congress should
take up this subject in earnest, and
by such means as seem best, secure
the protection and advance the well
fare Of both races.
Ali that is necessary should be ap
propriated to carry out any sensible
plan of the Mississippi river i'm

Hartford Correspondence Springfield Re

"Many years ago, one night while
Conductor Mckinney, Of the South
ern railroad, was taking up fares, a
man without ticket offered him a
large bill, and he, as conductors are
apt to do, took i. along, saying he
would soon return with the change.
The purpose of these delays is to
make quie; study Of the bill in the
baggage car and sec if It is all right.
When he reached the baggage car
with the bill, 81. Mckinney found
what he had taken to be 500 vas a
bill for ST 600. He returned to the
passenger and found be had shifted
his seat. Telling him there was a
mistake, that the bill was for 81 900,
he was amazed to have the fellow re-
pudia,e the whole arrangement he
knew nothing Of it, aud Insisted, and
was supported by friends testimo"
nv. that he had ticket, and that Il
had been taken up. Finally Mr.
Mckinney went off with the bill,
which the next day he turned in to
the company, with his explanation
1t was deposited and Drew interest
for several years, was never claimed,
and finally y as given to the conduc~
tor by the company. The only ex
PLANTATION was that some bank bnr~
glars we're ON the train; that one Of
them carelessIy took out the wrong
bill, aud that they decided it was
safer to lose S 900 than to risk be-
ing arrested. Probably they thought
he knew of the burglary"
