The First Corrupt Candidate.
New York Sun.1

This canvass for President will be dis
tiDguIshed from all others in the history of
the United States by one circumstance
which every self respecting citizen, Demo-
GRAFT or Republican, must sincerely deplore
For the first time since the foundation OF the
Government, there is a question as to the
personal integrity of a candidate for the
Nations highest Office.
Our people have not been accustomed to
hear charges of personal dishonesty brought
against the men presented for their suffrages
That Is because the candidates chosen by
both great parties in all past campaigns have
been men against whose private character
there YVES not even suspicion. The selection
by either party of a candidate not only sus-
pected but proved to be guilty of corrupt
practices, is absolutely without prece dent.
One thing, and only one thing, could be
more humiliating to our National pride
the election and Inauguration of President
branded with personal hishonor.

All the professional forgery in England
for rome years past has been the work of
Americans, and so greatly have the banks
suffered by them that they have foraed a
union for the special purpose of breaking up
the gang. Any loss to bank resulting from
q forgery is borne by all the banks through
the union fund, which is also freely expend-
ed to secure the evidence necessary to con-
Wet the culprits. The English Judges seem
also to have made II rule to meet out ex.

ss much as they would have got In this

nearly took their breath away. The best OF
II Is that there is little or no possibility of
reduction Of sentence, or of escape. MANY
Americans who have been convicted in
England have tried the latter but no one
has ever succeeded.

BLUE FLAGS.
ELLEN NJ. HUTCHINSON.

What sweet rebellion in thy blood,
My June, hath bid thee raise
Thy royal standards by thee wood
Aud through the meadow ways?
What stir OF passion, darling sprite,
spread these blue banners to the light?
Past lily buds and arrowy blades
The glorious pageant flies;
In sunny shadows, reedy shades,
Unnumbered blossoms rise.
BY rocky coast, in salty blight.
Thy banners glitter In the light.
Wrought of warm moons and morning dew
And painted from the skies,
Say, hi ave they not the very blue
OF Maiden Marian's eyes?
All, June, thy flags are not so bright
AS those blue banners In the light!

One of the most sensible remarks ever
made, or said to have been made, by Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, is that attributed to
him in the course OF a conversation alleged
to have taken place IN Brooklyn day or two
ago.
He is represented to have said that if Sen.
stor Bayard were nominated at Cincinnati,
he would be very reluctant to impair, even
to the innnitesimal extent of his own ad-
verse vote, the Nations chances of obtaining
such a gentleman for President.
