CONG IL ESS,

The dignity of this body of our legisla
tors depends upon its enactmenls. The SEN
ate and House have more direct and pow.
ertul influence than the Supreme Court and
Cabinet. On this account the people
watch the movements OF its members and
very soon learn who are statesmen and
who are demagogues. Duelling has long
since gone out OF date. President making
and the dividing Of the spoils of office are
getting to be poor kind Of business. The
country demands honest men, good and
true in the Custom House at New York
and everywhere. But we cannot afford to
stop the wheels of government for one
State or for Conkling's man. That gentle.
man must not attempt to play the role of
dictator. The people will have something
to say about it. Thousands of dollars
wasted on single appointment to Office.
Sixty thousand men worse than murdered
annually by the use of intox icating liquors.
The laws protecting the marriage institu-
ton trampled under foot by whole terri
tory OF Mormons craving over the coun.
try like lice, bidding defiance to the gov
ernment of the United States and making
our beloved country stencil, and by-word.
Cannot Conkling's ghost be hid long enough
to give Congress time to attend TO these and
other very Important matters. INDEX.

FROM BELLVILLE RIDGE

ED. JOURNAL: After a silence of sew
eral weeks l will try to write few items
for the good old JOURNAL. We farmers have
been 30 busy in agricultural pursuits for
the last few weeks that il has been impos-
sible TO think of anything else, but the
rush is over now and we propose to take
n rest.
Our school commenced ON the OH and
is progressing finely under the efficient
management of Miss Matte Weslcott, of
your place. Our Sabbath School il also
in full blast, w. w. Shoemaker, Supt; r..
Z. lielleyille, assistant; ID. NJ. Shoemaker,
Sec'y; Mary Beard, Treaa., and Miss Lib.
bic Beard, Librarian. The old fogies are
laid out and the Sabbath School has passed
into the hands OF the young people. Hur-
rall Tor Yonng America.
The Grangers gave n grand 4th degree
supper at their hall on Saturday evening
last. The Dobson Bros, of the b. G.
Democrat were present, and enjoyed the 0c-
chsIon hugely. The boys are not Grangera,
but they can get away with as much chick.
en- AZ M. two Grangers that ever saw.
heard several OF the matrons say that the
next time they get up supper OF this
kind that they were determined TO have
the editor OF the Journal there. Now
wonld advise the ladies, il they intend 10
invite all the bachelor editors in Wood
county, that they ha better lay in AN ex-
ira supply OF grub il they all have as good
hppetites ~ those from b. G. BY the way
editors are not the only men who are bIest
with good nppetiles, either, for Geo. Bur.
kei and Alex. Beard ate 30 much last Sat
Iirday evening that neither oil them have
been able 10 do u stroke Of work since.
The continued droull il having n dele.
teriois effect on the growing wheat, rye,
grass, &c. The apple blossoms seem to In
dicaie good crop OF apples
We are making mn effort TO have post
Office established hero, solnelhing tlmt we
are sadly IN need of-in fact tile Fenton
oilIce should not have been moved away
from here, nor would IL have been, but mo
one seemed to be willing TO assume the re.
sponsibiliiy OF keeping ii. But all ac.
knowledge now that il was great mistake
10 allow il to be removed three miles soull,
OF here. Yours In haste.

Extracts from n letter to "Or Union"
by L. NJ. Stevens, of Stroudwater, Maine,
March 18th:
"Maine is still marching on and is like.
ly to, Notwithstanding all the hard things
that have been said about her of late. Per.
haps the most absurd of all is, that pro-
hiblton has tended to increase crime.
Then we we're told that our pres
ent legislature would repeal part of our
prohibitory law, but it has done nothing
of the kind although great pressure has
been brought to bear. But instead OF re-
pealing, they are likely to press the amend
ment for constitutional prohibition. THIS
will give permanency TO the law which
has blessed us so long. We do want
it, for its benefits are so great that he who
runs may see them. To be sure drunken
ness still exists in Maine. No law extin-
guislles the evil against which it il aimed.
We are told that there are 130 grog shops
in Portland. This may be, but they are
mostly in dark cellars and back yards,
and the entire $50 do not own or sell ns
much liquor as one respectable (?) corner
store in New York does. In most of our
towns the law is as we'll enforced as any
other law is. On one of our
streets in Portland, perhaps 70 rods long
can count 80 closed grog shops. One after
another has gone out rs omr law has been
made more stringent. On the road from
Brighton to Portland, a distance of 40 iles
there was before the Maine law, dram,
shop for every mile. Now there ia not one
on the whole line. . Maine il nev.
er going back on her glorious temperance
| record. Other States may continue to
N In hap M tl,a St,ta ~,

Ex President Hayes has written n letter
TO friend, who has given the following
extract TO the public:
When became President I was fully
convinced that whatever might be the case
in other countries, and with other people,
in our climate and with the excitable, ner.
vous temperament OF our people the habit
ual use of intoxicating drinks was not safe.
/ regarded the danger of the habit as es-
pecially great in political and official life
1t seemed TO me that to exclude liquors
from the White House would be wise and
useful as an example, and would be ap-
proved by good people generally. The sug-
gestlon was particularly agreeable to Mrs
Hayes. She had been total abstinence
woman from childhood We had never
used liquors in our own home, and it was
determined to continue our home custom
in this respect in our official residence in
Washington, as we had done at Columbus.
/ was not n total abstainer when became
President, but the discussion which arose
over the change at the Executive Mansion
soon satisfied me that there was no half
way house in this matter. During the
greater part OF my term, at least during the
last three years, have been in practice, as
in thoory, a consistent total abstinence man,
and shall continue to be so. All state
ments, including the one you send me, in
consistent with the foregoing, are untrue
and without foundation.

The attempt OF some papers to make it
appear that President Garfield knew Of
and countenanced the star route ring trans
action for the purpose of raising revenue
for the campaign, is far fetched and silly
III such was the case would it be supposed
for u moment that lie would allow one Of
his Cabinet officers TO ferret ont and expose
these transactions? Would not the victims
soon implicate the President, if he was
guilty for allowing sucls investigation? He
could not be guilty without the ring hay
ing positive proof of it.
