to its lying without wincing. Perjury is
as easy as any other form of lying. and
rather the more impressive form OF it.
There are men who make a lucrative pr,-
fession of perjury. We had Democratic
Legislature last winter, aud the Ring used
it We have Republican Legislature this
winter, and the Ring is attempting to
use it. Last winter the Police
Board was Democratic, and now it
Is Republican, and its character is
unchanged. Last winter Republi.
can assistance was given the abolishment
OF the Board of Public Works, because the
Engineer was competent and the Board in
dependent This winter there is Republi-
can opposition to the abolishment of the
Police Court Commission, because it is sub
servient to the contractors. There are
some formalties OF settlement to attend to
between the Trustees of the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad and the contractors, but
there is nothing alarming. An exagger-
ated notion of the incompleteness Of the
road has been formed bv the people at
large, owing to the delay in the announce
ment of the great Southern excursion
People should understand that before we
accept the responsibility of transport
ing thousands of people fr M the South
over this road, we must be sure that all
will 80 we'll. and we ought to wait for the
road to be in good order and for compara-
lively settled weather. There are some
preparations also to make along the line.

The Enquirer says: John Sherman is an
acute politician. His eve is keen for tbe g
main chance. He is ambitious. He is un.
embarrassed bv principles He never had
conviction that he would not abandon
for political advantages. He has stood
upon all sides of all the commanding oues-
tions since the war. He is, therefore, un-
restrained BY his belief, if he has what is
called belief But ough lie is opposed
to the American soldier, lie is in favor of the
| heather Chlnee" The Eastern Money
Power of which Sherman is the tool, was
opposed to depicting the Treasury to DO
Justice to the soldier, and 50 Sherman
vas opposed to it. The Eastern Money
Power Is in no sense in sympathy with the
aboring men of this country, and is care
less as to the importation Of Chinese.
