DORSEY, the indicted sr-route thief, late
secretary Of the Republican National Com.
niittee, aod, by the recognition OF Garfield
and Arthur, savior of the Republican party
in the PREF DENTAL election Of 1880, recently
Eolemnly swore that James and Macy eagh
were two dirty scoundrels, sho disgraced the
Offices they held and the administration that
put then in Office; that il Garfield hadsbeen
shot a week later both of these persons would
have been kicked out Of their offices in con-
tempt and disgrace, and that this he Gar
field) had promised him (Dorsey) TO do IN
the presence OF Ingersoll." Now here is
pretty kettle Of fish.
THE late Thurlow Weed, once whiting the
late William Tweed in his cell, IN Ludlow
street Jail, during his incarceration there,
was once ask d by the latter to what ne at
lributed his success in life. Inc venerable
lobbyist said that he replied laconlcal!y:
ITO Two lhings-frst, never seeking othce Tor
myself, and second, never writing a letter that
QiO not an Wi
troubles have been brought about by your
ofice-holdi1g and confidential letter writ
ipg.D Mr.. Weed added that he never put
| into black and white anything that he was
unwilling that the world should know, aud
| consequently he never had OCCASION TO re-
| greet the publication of any letter he had
ever written, even though ysars had passed

| Speakership: Randall went at politics like
a gossip snd follower, and has picked it up
| as be csme along till ne is pretty adept, keen
| and plastic to party management. Carlisle
| has trained himself on the floor and in his
| books to matters of principle. The one was
| educated among the lawyer offices Of Ken
lucky, where an obstruction is always a de-
| light. The other was reared IN busy CITY,
| where industry has million wheels. he has
| kept his eve on the exterior Of things, and
regards statesmsnship as keeping those
| wheels going. The other man regards states
mauship to be balancing rights, ascertainlng
elemen AIRY tru b., keeping the CON passes and
| barometers in good order. Sam Randall Is
not so much busted with these scientific
| instruments, is watching the storms aad the
shore with the naked eye."
Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS editor oil

Gated men in politics: Coming down 10 our
| day and nation" Mr.. Curtis said, in closing
''the popular political maxims sre, 'Best
the devil with his own weapons Take mer
as they are,' Beware of the politics of the
moon and. above all, 'Despise Sunday
school stesmanship and stick to that OF ths
grog shop and the gutter This was our
political wisdom, and the results were
familisrp Mr.. Curtis asserted that it wa
the educated element IN our politics whici
was fret to break the machine and which
had rescued New York from Tweed. Il
conclusion Mr.. Curtis said: Take away
from this country at this moment The edu
Gated power in politics-the power which i
condemned as romantic and seutimental-anC
you would take from the army its general
from the ship its compass, from nations
action It's moral handspring"
