II was pleasing to contemplate the
agonies OF representatives, of Eastern
communities and states while the
house was voting five or six millions
out of the treasury to construct feder-
al court-houses and post-oflices INVEST
ern and Southern cities. Hundreds OF
millions have been spent along the
Atlantic coast on custom. houses, and
as many millions in erecting halls of
federal justice, and palatial postoihces
have been reared in all these older
states, aud hundreds of millions are
lavished on custcm-house officers and
clerks, all, in these sea-coast states.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
Mckinney, April 1.-THE regular
advent of the GAZETTE meets with a
Justly deserved appreciation among
our citizens, and is welcomed as an
invaluable addition to our daily news.
A severe rainfall witnessed the ush-
ering in of to-day's morning, and the
wind, blowing in 1itful gusts, left
hardly dry spot in or out of doors.
A change to SUMMER weather has been
realized previous TO the time of writ
ing, and the mornings gloom is now
pleasant sunshine.
The exercises of the literary society
on the evening of Saturday last were
generative of instruction and fun to a
marked degree. The debater were
profound in thoughts express ed,
and much of wisdom was
cleaned by the appreciative
audience. A recitation by the accom-
plished Miss Lille Powen bespoke his
trionic talent, eliciting warm congrat-
ulations, while the inimitable Heard,
with his fund of humor, filled all with
pleasant memory of the society's
efforts. The two journals edited by
this body, the Clique and Retaliator
are able in their nature, and prove
considerable element in the success OF
the weekly entertainments.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

To those who oppose the Republican
nominee because be represents the
principle Of protection TO Ameri-
cans, ii should only lie necessary to
say that charity begins at home. Mr..
Blaine is an exponent of self protec.
ton and self assertion, and the worn.
out cry Of selfish policy will no longer
prevail against the growing American
feeling. 1t IS well enough to be lib
ersl, but first we should be just, and
liheraliIy such as is desired by some
means injustice TO ourselves. No other
nation ever WIS free giver of its own
land, and no nation is now free
trader in anything which interferes
with its own industries. A head of
family would be regarded as crimi.
nally careless and prodigal should he
make such lavish use of his means for
benefit of other people as to lessen his
ability to provide for those dependent
upon HIM, and the Government is the
head of the American family, and
should see that Americas are cared
for before casting bread on the waters
of free trade.

SOMETHING ABOVE MORALITY.

The Republicans in this campaign
are making an open fight. Their can
didate tells the people just what he
believes in and plays the hypocrile for
the purpose of catching the vote of no
man or no particular class of men.
This is campaign of principle. and
prejudice, whether moral or religious,
will Yit such an insignificant figure
that those who expect to derive any
benefit from the use of 1t will be dis
appointed. Once before in this paper
It was urged upon Republicans to rely
upon the merit of their cause and not
upon the real or supposed personal
defects of the opposing candidate
Recently the question of his morality
has been raised Without Ycnturing
an opinion as to the truth or falsity OF
any statements concerning his chas.
iity, the BULLETIN will remind its
readers that the private character OF
the candidates has no bearing on the
great public question at issue. They
are pledged to certain lines of policy,
and itis that policy which interests
the people of America.
For this reason, alone, all the talk
about Cleveland's ways among women
should he stopped. That is the bust
ness simply ofthe women who associate
with him. If they are satisfied, it is
the business of nobody else. The Re
publican party has started boldly upon
the policy Of seeing that this country
minds its own business and making
other countries attend to their own
business, so far us America is con
cerned. and consistency of principle
demands that we shoUld let The private
affairs of Mr.. Cleveland alone. If the
Democrats choose to abuse Mr.. Blaine,
let them do so; al they say against
him rs an individual, but tends to help
him; but Republicans should refrain
from abuse Of. the chastity of Cleve-
land. Aside from the fact that the
charges, whether true or false, do not
In the. slightest degree, affect anything
in which the general public is inter
ested, '-thc impossibi|ly of proving
anything of tie kind should deter
Republicans from wasting their time.
In the first place, should the woman,
or lady, in question still retain her
affection for him, she will save his
reputation by telling story which
will entirely exonerate him. On the
other hand, should her affection have
been changed to hstred,
"Hell hath no fury hike a woman scorned,"
And her story will be so bitterly
exaggerated that no person will believe
anything she says. 81
Under any circumstances. therefore,
It 10 not only bad taste, but bad policy,
to call up the private life of Nj
Cleveland. The measures in dispute
are sufficient for argument and those
who cannot be persuaded to vote for
their own interests and the interests
Of their. friends and relatives are not
TO be influenced by hypocrilical pleas
Of moral pretenders.

why AND WHEREFORE.

The following reasons for support
ing the Republican ticket, from an
exchange, save good deal of writing
and1fme:
l. Because The Republican party Is
the only party which has no cause to
be ashamed Of its record.
2. Because It began Its existence by
resisting the extension Of the curse Of
human slavery to the free Territories of
the West.
3. Because It fought four years
war to save the Union from being
broken into fragments, in the face OF
the party that declared the war is I'm.
holy and failure, and whose proudest
boast TO day is that it is the same old
rock rooted, moss.covsred, ironclad,
Bourbon organization it was between
1861 and 1865
a. Because ii emancipated four mill
ions Of slaves and by an amendment
10 the Constitution forbade the States
TO deprive any citizen of the ballot on
account of the color of his skin, thus
making suffrage national and Impair
tial.
g. Because in struggle Of ten years
duration it steadfaslly and successfully
defended The National honor against
regulators, and put the credit of the
United States on II par with that of
other civilized nations of the world
6. Because it made good he nations
promise TO the holders of its greenlack
notes that should have been redeemed
in coin. bringing the whole volume of
the paper currency up to par with
gold by the passage of the Resumption
Act, in spite of the persistent hostility
of the Democrats.
T. Because it provided the country
with the hest banking system known
to the world. and rescued it from he
evils of the irresponsible, wildcat,
State banking system.
5. Because it has always honored
labor and recognized its right. com
