The Trenton organ of the Democracy, says
the Newark Advertiser, has perfect right to
criticise and condemn the Republican Legis-
iature if 1t chooses, and its readers may pin
their faith to SO much of its argument as they
desire That is their own affair but there
are three msstatements which should be cor
rected. The State tax of one-half mill ON
the dollar has been abolished the salaries of
the legislative officials were decreased and not
increased, as stated, and the sinking fund in
vestigation has not vindicated the manage
ment of the fund because the committee has

not yet patented. He ascertains the resist
ance of the carbons by the ordinary method

of treatment.
There are some who entertain the opinion
that an Empire or limited Monarchy is the
only perfect form of Government, and that
corruption in politics is the concomitant sole
ly of Republic. 1t may change their opin-
ions to watch the present political struggle in
England. They do not have chance over
there very often. but when they do have they
improve it. 1t costs to be elected member
of Parliament not less than $4,000 even in a
"rotten borough or where there is no can
didate in opposition, for the honest elector
must have his ale, and the women their green
parasos all the same. When there is hot
contest it is hot indeed, for John Bull is fam
GUS for free use of condiments. 1t is not
uncommon for each candidate to spend &c.,
600, and where the contest is very close there
will generally be found body of voters hold
ing the balance of power who never reach
conviction until a few moments before the
closing of the polls. As to throwing rotten
eggs and fresh vegetables at the candidates,
that is an amusement SO intensely British that
