The following from the Chicago Time
may be true and may be lie but if tht
former it is a rather remarkable instance Oh
rather remarkable disposition:
Duke George, of 0ldenburg, is quoted
now as a pattern of courtesy. Some bur-
glars made the acquaintance of his cellar,
and removed thence fifteen bottles of his
choicest wine. They were caught and ar
raigned, but the duke declined to prose
cute. The burglars, delighted at the unex-
pected and-perhaps the duke didn't stop
to think of that-demoralizing. clemency,
begged the favor of an Interview with the
prince, at which they purposed thanking
him. The duke told them that he did not
their vehement desire to partake of
his wine, but that the breach of etiquette
they had committed in visiting his cellar,
without giving due notice of their inten-
ton to do SO, had caused him considerable
annoyance. He said: II attach much inn
portance to the observance of prescribed
forms. If you should, at any future time,
wish to invite yourself to my cellar as my
guests, let me know when am to expect
your visit, and you win be welcome" The
burglars should have put the princely host 8

A BAD BEGINNING FOR NEW ADMINS.
TRATIOE

The most important matter in which the
new Administration has shown it's hand
was, the recent canvass in our own State
Legislature for the election of two United
States Senators. During most of the can
vass the President of the United States was
understood to be in condition which alb
solved him from all responsibility for what
took place. Still, the power of the admin
istration was felt at Albany-it was visible,
and was made effective
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
proceedings were such as to stamp the adj
ministration as the most corrupt, in the
very beginning of its term, ever seen in the
history of the country

A correspondent of the Brooklyn Eqq

A correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle
after detailing the act of reputation com
mitted by the Republican party; the use of
the public money to carry the election of
1872; the steal of the Presidency in 1875;
the Qualification of the Star-route thieves
by the Republican leaders last year, says:
Every crime condoned as long as its
preparation promised to strengthen the
Republican party. Thousands of business
men were driven through bankruptcy to
desperation and death, but the Republican,.
party was strengthened. Open, undisguis-s
ed robbery was contenanced, provided a.
portion of the plumber was devoted to
strengthen the Republican party. A dead
ly blow was struck at the purity of the
ballot, and the assassins of liberty were
promptly awarded by lucrative posi-
tions under the Government
What wonder. then that mind
constituted like Guiteaus should be driven
to the conclusions at which he arrivedg
He saw Bristow and Henderson consigned
to obscurity for faithful service to the
country, because such services luxurious
~ affected the Republican party He
saw the men prominent in the electoral
fraud of 1876, rewarded by the Admins
tration, aud foisted upon the people in the
interests of the Republican party. He saw
Mr.. Dorsey Toasted and toasted by the
high toned Republicans of the Union
League and openly complimented by the
Vice President of the United States for his
success in carrying Indiana with Taught
er. He saw, too, that the crimes of these
men had resulted in disaster and death to
thousands, and in lasting disgrace to the
nation, but that they had been screened
from punishment because they had helped
the Republican party. He saw that the
Republican party was in great danger of
disruption on account of the disagreement
between the stalwarts and the President,
and he naturally reasoned that if the
greater blunderers who had served the Re
publican party at so great a sacrifice of life
and honor had not only been saved from
punishment but covered with honor, sure
ly he would be at least as well treated il
he could save the Republican party by the
painless death of one man. 1t is eminent
ly fifth ng that honest men of all parties
should execrate the assassins crime, but
the people do not need any instructions
upon the lessons to be derived from it from
the men who have been prominent in de-
Tending the greater crimes to which ! have
alluded. It is, perhaps a proper wish
that the lives of our future presidents should
be more carefully guarded, but that may be
effected by reversal of the policy of the
Republican party and the immediate pun
of all criminals, even though their
crimes have Injured to the benefit of the
