We hear it limited that some of the
antimonopoly members of the Leg
islature who declined Legislative
passes, have siuce accepted 500 and
1000 mile tickets "with thanks" etc.
All right, we do not believe there

We welcome to our table the At
lantic Monthly for February. Its
table Of contents is so rich and varied
that any of us can find many things
that are new. 1t is made up for the
millions and each one of them can
always find in it some article that al
most appears to have been written
for his or her special benefit, hence
particularly interesting. To us such
an article is "Som Truths About the
Civil Service" by Henry l.. Nelson,
published in this number, which is
only one of twenty, each of which
have peculiar merits that will not fail
to please not only the student but the
casual reader. OF these we note the
following: Michal Angelo, part
second, by Longfellow, Herbert
Spencer's Theory of Education, by
Sill F.; Ancestral Footsteps, by Haw-
thorne; With the Birds on Boston
Common, by Bradford Terry In
Winter Months, by L. L. burke /:

The TINES thinks that the Sagin-
aw Herald labors under a mistake in
supposing that there is considerable
Republican opposition to the re-
election of Senator Rollins in New
Hampshire" The editor Of THE
TINES was actively engaged in the
late contest there and was largely
over the state. All the opposition
he heard of came from would be can
didates, who arc not endorsed by the
party to any considerable extent.
That Mr.. Rollins will be re. nominated
by the Republican caucus and be re.
elected without any effort to railroad
him through" we have not one
shadow of doubt.

us in regard to him
"He was awarded the sweepstakts

and was the sire Of the litter of pigs

The whipping post has been erected

Another State Treasurer has alb
seconded and his cash is short some
thing over 100000. Alabama is
the state that suffers this time, and
the fugitive probably bent his steps
New-York.ward. He is charged with
using the public funds in stock specu
lations and to have been great loser,
and has come to grief. There is a re-
markable correspondence between
this Alabama affair and the Tennss-
see trouble, yet Alabama is not, like
Tennessee, repudiating state.
There is no excuse for her Treasurer
to run away and leave a efficiency in
his accounts of over 100000. The
Treasurer of Tennessee, Mr.. Polk,
could plead the general want of hon
esty in that state in justification of
his action, but Treasurer Vincent, of
Alabama, lacked that mitigating cir
cumstance. Alabama is entitled to
sympathy in her bereavement, but it
will be a secret satisfaction to Re-
publicans to know that Mr.. Vincent
was not OF their household of politi-
faith. He belongs to that party
which declares ret0,m is necessary.
