Congress is still engaged in getting u

Congress is still engaged in getting up campaign documents in the shape ot stump speeches and maneuvering for position ip the great conflict of 1880. Over and over agaln they repeat the same stale stuH which nobody reads and nobody believes in if they - do read it. General Bragg of Winconsin, whe gained some notoriety in the last Con gress by pitching into the Southern Claims, again came to the front with proposition to abolish the Southern Claims commission. The general was somewhat verdentaand be- levsd in it. He didn't seem to understand whose pockets be was touching and that r was oaly"a good enough Morgan until after election. When it came to voting on his proposition members of both parties united in defeating it. The Hartford Post raps' some of it's friends over the knuckles as fol-. 1ows:.
 :. Alter all that has been said concerning the Southern war claims, their magnitude. and the ease with which the treasury has been depleted by pretended sUnlonists, it must surprise the country to find the leader of the Republicans in the House defending the old Southern Claims Commission. and carrying with him votes enough to defeal MT. Braggs motion by majority of nearly two to one. A counter proposition was made that all these cases be turned over tu the regular Court of Claims, with the addi- ton of clause making disloyalty suff1- cient defense on the part of the Govern ment Even, thls was voted down, and though it is possible that Mr. Springer's pro- posal to allow the Court of Claims to inVes- tigate and report to Congress may carry, the votes already taken render it doubtful if anything IS done to terminate this hoary abuse. MT. Bragg may have had parti- san purpose in his motion, but it was move in the right direction. and ought not to have failed for lack ot Republican sup port.

 yorr columns about National Reform" Il ssHndsd to me % the vsics of ens crying in the wilderness. It is astonishing when we consider the condition of the country and the general dsmsrslixstisn prevailing. that there is % little interest taken in the subject of reform by thess mest inmedl atsly intsrssted-ths people. It is owing perhaps to several causes First. because they have heard co much about 1t and seen % little of its results. Second, because they have become % accustomed to fellow the dictates of party. right or wrong. They lesk upon their party e the people of EnS- land look upon their sovereign. Their par. " ,s their King and the King can do no wrong. They seem sometimes to shut their eyes to all argumsnt or reassn and, 10 use a slang phrase, ''eo it hlina." So long as sucl principles prevail reforms are hardly practi- cable. Third, because whsn Ahuses within the party become @ great that they canno, be overlooked sad somsthing has got to be dsns, the leaders and wire-pullers immedi
 atsly become great reformsrs and raise the cry of reform within the party and tho hon. t. st and well-msAning msmbsrs of the party are dseei. cd by it.

CANAAN, CONN. WEDNESDAY, APR. 23. 1879.

Tt seems almost ludicrous to talk aoou' hard times and more money and then reau about a combination of some Of the leading banks in New York gobbling up in on. mouthful per cent. government bonds to the almost fabulous sum of $l50, ,00O, ,O00 besides offering to swallow at the same time the whole amount of the $l0 refunding Ger, tificates, amounting to $40, ,0O0,O00. On tn. 18th inst. the Secretary of the Treasury is sued circular offering to sell 4 per cent. bonds for the purpose of redeeming the ten forties to the amount of about l60, ,O00, 900. Last week the circular was withdrawn, tht whole amount having been subscribed. l. becomes every day more and more appar snt that it is ouly the poor whe are poor iu this country the rich are very well off.

FIeeting Thoughts.

What do w1 mean by being saved2 Is it an earnest purpose to live pure life, be honest, faithful and true in all our relations with our fellow creatures, to be loyal to God and man, striving to live up to our highest and best con- victions or does it mean something else; and if so, what?
 What is good common sense7 Is it plain, frank and fair statement of something whlci, common people can understand, and which is adapted to their real wants or is it a granu mythical statement of something beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals?
 We ought to get the most real happiness we canin life every day, living not as though each day was our last, but our first. cheerful sweet and happy contentment this day, makes an indelible impression upon all our future. If the product of each days labor has been cast in the right mold, we need have no nor bid fears about the future. ''RECIPE"
