Pnilbrick's Reward.

Skowhegar away up in Maine has 1
National Bank and a very wealthy gen
tleman named Philbrick was its cashier
That he was fully able to perform the
duties of the office it was never doubt.
cd, neither was there the least taint Of
suspicion against his character IS an
honest man. Well, Skowhegan had an
election last September, and the caBti-
date of the Republicans was elected by
come three hundred majority. But it
so happened in Maine that at this elec-
tion it were not those who got large
majority of votes who were returned as
elected, and this was the case of the
Republican candidate OF Skowhegan.
About the time that be thought he " as
about ready to start to the Legislature
he found that the certificate of election
was given to his opponent, who did not
claim to be elected. This however was
not the end Of the affair. The National
Bank of that town had an election the
other day, and when the stockholders
came as usual TO elect cashier Mr.. P.
opened wide his eyes in astonishment
when he found that somebody else had
been elected to the position he had so
long held. The secret of the change
was that Mr.. Philbrick had been very
active in assisting to count out Repub-
licans and to count in Fusionists, and
the honest stockholders reasonably
argued within themselves and came to
the conclusion that man who would
take part in political theft was not ex.
actly the safest man to make cashier Of
bank. Mr.. Philbrick feels very much |
as if he had just recovered from the re-
suit of tickling mules foot with a
straw. He has had his reward.

Bay yards Legal Tender Bill

S,n4tor Bayari is now no doubt graft
fed That after long and pa len: strug-
gl' h" has succeede in getting the
Senate Finance Committee to vote upon
his legal lender resolution and that it
will now be brought before the Senate
by minority vote of the commi ttee,
which is equivalent to an adverse re-
port. T3is however will not prevent a
long ard bitter discussion in the full
Senate, the only fruit of which will be
to make some of the trimmers in Con-
grpss come down from their fancied
plac, of security, and to drive still
deeper into the heart of thu Democracy
the wedge which divides the party into
L stern ami Western factions. What
effect this will have upon Mr.. Bayard's s
p ,litical fortunes, remains to be seen.
There can he no doubt that the intro
duction of the resolution by Senator

Dissatisfied NiockhOIdera.

The st. Louis, Alton and Terre
Haute stockholders are dissatisfied
with the Tilden settlement. Lawyer
Willis, who has been consulted by
some of the stockholders, says "the
Board of Directors of the road, ever
since the organization in 1862, have
been chosen and controlled by the
bondholders exclusively. The stock
holders, scattered throughout the
country, have been outvoted and have
I'D no voice in the management of the
companies. Suit for the recovery of
$500, 200, alleged TO be wrongfully
withheld by four of their prominent
members, with accumulations of inter
est to bstween $400, 900 and $500, 600
additional, has been settled in such a
manner that the Company recovers
only $400, 600 and loses about $780,
000."

Tn. BoArd Of Education Balance.

I
Tho leaders Of the Democracy are
very much incensed at the Board OF
Education for not paying over the tri-
fling little balance of $22, 900 in the
Treasury OF the Beard to the City Off
cials that they may use it this year
in paying off the floating debt created
last year. At first sight there is really
nothing unreasonable in the demand,
but when the matter comes to be prob
ed and is properly understood, = will
be seen we think that this at least is
not the time to make such a demand
from the Board of Education. Had the
members Of the City Council and
the dominant party in the Board who
are in favor OF this reimbursement
made the arrangement at the proper
time for the paying over Of the balance
named, we presume there would
have been no difficulty whatever in
accomplishing the object. But now
the time has slipped past for any &C
count Of it to be taken in this years ap-
propriatiOns. The estimates of the City |
Council have been made up, compiled
into an ordinance and published, and
amongst those appropriations is one OF
s66, 500 for the Public Schools which is
the full amount asked for by the Board
of Education. Had the City Council
any idea at the time that the apprc-
priations were made that the $22, 600
referred to should have been refunded
then was the time that the amount
claimed should have been put as an
Offset in the school appropriation, and
then instead of the appropriation for
the Board of Education standing at
$66, 500, it would have been only $43,
900. Had this been done the total as
sessment would have been that much
lower and the rate of taxation would
have been proportionately decreased,
and, as further consequence the tax
paying public would have had the {
benefit of it. Most reasonable persons
will pause and ask why pay to the
City Council $22, 600, and the City
Council almost Immediately pay back
to the Board Of Education $66, 800?
And then again it must be remembered
that at the last meeting of the Board,
of Education it was stated that
the law expressly prohibits the Board
of Education from drawing orders on
the Treasury for any other purpose
than for the immediate and direct ,
wants OF the Board. In the face of this
positive law it is difficult to see how the
Board of Education, even if it desired,
could draw an order to pay the money
back to the City Council to be used for
the current expenses of the city. 1t is
claimed by the City Council that the Fl. 7
nance Committee and individual mem
bers of the Board of Education had
positively promised to pay over the
and we have no doubt that if
juch promises were made that they
we're made honestly and in all sincerity,
out now when the demand is made 7
or the money it is coupled with such 4
that the Board of Education
annot comply without a violation of
he law which subjects the members to
srtain specified penalties if that law is
'iolated.

Touch not a single line;
In youth it sheltered me,
But now, oh. alas =

But now, oh, alas?-
All the Temperance and moral reform
advocates for almost generation pas
have referred to the immaculate work
ings Of the Maine liquor law. Its virtue
have been held up in such light tha
other States have sighed for it, hav'
worked for it, and thought that If they
only had it, the great desiderstum o
life would be attained and earth woulC
be turned into a paradise. We hav,
been told many times that notwith
standing the Maine liquor law, there
never was any trouble whatever fol
tue thirsty to get their potations when,
ever they felt that they needed
them which with most persons is
often, but We have always feigned
to diSbelieve such reports. But now a
strange story comes from the Pine-trse
State, not less curious than the report
that the Mayor of Augusta has ordered
the liquor shops to be closed during
the present excitement. Without being
thought impertinent, We would like to
inquire how the liquor shops happened
to be open ? In the eyes of the law
there are DO shops Of that description
open or shut and it certainly seems a
little odd that Mayor Nash should find
such an order necessary. 1t would also
be of interest to the people of Delaw are
who have believed in prohibition to
know whether these liquor shops are
TO be opened again after the excitement
is over. One day we hear that the
Prohibitory law is grand success and
is rigidly enforced, and another day
We hear that it is entirely disregarded,
and the order to close the liquor shops,
we must confess, gives strong color of
truth to the latter report, SO far as the
capital of the State at least is concern
ed. There must have been liquor shops
in Augusta, or else how could the May
Or close them 1t is difficult to see
how that can be closed which does not
sxist. This is confusion confounded,
almost as bad as the confusion Of the

DISPATCHES FROM Europe convey the
intelligence that the "Aurora," the
new organ of the Vatican, has espoused
the cause of the Irish patriots in their
struggles against oppression and star
vation, and advocates home rule for
Ireland. In taking this stand another
important advance has been made, not
only in favor of Ireland, but in favor Of
the Papacy itself. However the church
may have stood in the past struggles OF
the Irish, there seems to be no doubt
that through the present generation all
the weight of its authority has been
used for the repression Of the national
cause in Ireland. In taking this stand
it may have hoped to receive more
power from the ruling classes Of Bng-
land, and in this the church has GER
tafhly been successful in bringing
many wealthy converts into its fold.
That the Vatican has again arrayed
itself on the popular side is evidence
that the liberalizing spirit of the times
has penetrated even its dark and mus.
ty walls.

The Maine LIQUOR Law.

Had it not been for the little political
breeze stirred up away up there in
Maine, We might never have heard any
thing about the workings of the pro-
hibitory law in that State that has
been SO devoted to the cause OF total
abstinence that none of the political
parties do what they would in other re-
spects, dare lay ruthless hands upon
Names prohibitory liquor law, and
the party that did so was sure to find
their banners trailing in the dust. T.

no compunctions Of conscience at steal

making a political speech deprecated

law and giving vent to his poetical
if he ever had any, might

Tribune Almanac for 1850.

The simple announcement that "The
Tribune Almanac" for 1850 is now

mlnac published in the United States

cyclopedic aims. 1t is a common sense
manual of American politics intended
for actual use by practical public.
This general contents of"The Almanac"
are of such character that they are al
most indispe1 sable to public men, con-
timing as it does digest of the laws
passed by Congress, political platforms,
complete election returns from every
State in the Union, and statistics of
railrosding, shiptuilding, rolls of Con-
gre5s and U. S. officers ard much other
useful information.
"The Almanac" has leen compiled
by the Hon. Edward Mcpherson, stat.
istician of National reputation, who has
conducted the series for several years.
The price remains a, tefore-twenty-
Ave cents for each copy-with the usual
discount 10 the trade. "Tbe Almanac"
for 1880 will be sent postpaid to any
address in the United States, on re-
ceipt of the price, and all orders will re-
ceiYe immediate attention.
