The ST. Louis Participation gets in its
oar on the Star route frauds in the following
characteristic style:
When the real work of investigating the
Star route nsstiness begins there will be in
harmonious music in the atmosphere. MIR.
Brady, late OF the post Office department,
does not propose to die without struggle
that would do credit TO tho last of the Hors-
TIL His hackers have declared themselves.
Tney say that last fall, when the cause of
Garfield looked shaky, Brady was called on
for funds to aid in subjugating Indiana. He
assessed the rascals of the Star route ring
with the full knowledge and consent Of Cars
field. The fat thieves yielded a fine lot of
grease and il was taken to Indiana and
spread upon the surface of the body polite.
The Brady crowd declares that if the invest-
CATION is pushed general fire will be opened
on the administration, and it is intimsted that
there are soma little episodes in Garfelc's
congressional career which will cause the
Credit Mobilier business to look small This
may be the customary threatening of detected
knaves, but whatever may become of it we
cannot refrain from wishing the friends of
political morality well.
The Shravapnrt StondarJ eo,s of orot;o
and antarctic expeditions:
While our knowledge of the regions sur
rounding the North Pole has been greatly
extended by the energy and enterprise of
modern explorers. comparatively little has
been done in the exploration of correspond
ing portions of the Southern hemisphere.
At the head Of an American expedition,
Lieutenant Wilkes believed that he had es-
tablished the existence of an Amarillo CONT
nent; and this discovery was verified year
later by Sir James Ross, who found the ex-
lensive Victoria Land, with mountains H.
OOJ feet high and an active volcano. The
expedition now being fitted out for I'D An
arctic exploration, under the auspices Of the
Italian Geographical Society, will, il is
stated, be furnished with everything neces-
Sary for prolonged voyage, it being the in
tcntion Of the party, under the command of
Lieutenant Beve, TO winter in the Polar re-
gions,
The Leadvlle Democrat, in spasm of
virtuous Indignation, pours out the vial of its
wrath upon the prospective buying and SELL
ing of the senatorial seat in Colorado two
years HENCE and says:
II has long been understood that the race
is to be confined to some half dozen of the
bonanza kings. If we had Daniel Webster
in the state unattached to bonanza fortune,
he wouldn't stand better chance for the
place than does the steward Of the lost
Jeanette. The managers have determined
| to turn an honest penny in the transaction,
| and who can and will ''put up" the most
money, will get it beyond the shadow of a
doubt. What is this but bargain and sale,
and what is bargain. and sale but corruption?
In this case it is exhibited in the high place!
of the republican party. The fountain head
is corrupted, and how can the stream escape
the contamination ? A bonanza king whose
hoard doesn't mount into the region of
millions will not enter the race, This will
block out some of the best specimens in the
lot. Here is corruption in its highest and
most hdeous form. Here is exhibited the
responsiveness OF corruption when it strikes at
an object which should be alone the bright
beacon to beckon from its modest hiding
place, the intellect the worth and the virtue
Of the state. A man fit to hold the place of
senator going shsmelessly into the market 0
buy votes, to corrupt the poor and the
wretched And yet, that is just what the
next. member of the senate from Colorado
will be compelled 10 do, If he gets there at
all. Is the game worth the candle? VIII II

iect 50 valuable as this There are dczen
as we have said above, who will do it. And
there arc alas only one here and there
among all the thousands Of our citizenship
who will blame them, or see in the dreadful
corruption anything extraordinary, or at all
charming. This is the humiliation. When
a people become so corrupt, so degraded and
so british as TO kiss tho chains which bind
them the wiling slaves of money, to the
car cf be inaolent protentions.
The American Sentry published at Wash
iDeton City, says:
The proposed tbree-and- one-half per cent
bonds, in place of the six per cents, are
already a. one per cent premium over the
six PER cents, though the change has not yet
been actually gmade. The reason of this
prompt advance in prices is tho extension Of
lime on the SIX per cents. If holders were
sure that they would not be called in for ten
years, the premium would probably go TO
eight or ten per cent. This is because Of the
conveniencos of United States bonds for
speculative purposes. 1t proves, too, tina,
the three per cent. rate 10 the funding bill
was not the objection of bankers, but the
repeal Of the &C. of 1874.
The Chicago Inter-ocesn is genuine
} negrophoist, a fact that no one familiar with
the paper and its degrading instincts ever
doubted, and the following is only in keep
ing with its general character;
The deputy recorder of deeds of the Dis
trict of Columbia is person Of Importance
and will do TO run a hotel at Springfield,
!. Illinois. he is venerable party, of aristo-
cratic lineage, and has recorded deeds and
mortgages for many years. The proposition
10 appoint Frederick Douglass IS bis superior
officer calls from him protest that should
J not, however, occasion any widespread alarm.

der a "nigger." 1t has not been the custom
