Mr.. Blaine's dig"

The passage.in the second volume Of MIR.
Blaines book, in which he refers to Mr..
Edmunds's former position upon the ten
ure-of- Office law, has been much copied
and commented on in some quarters. Mr..
Blaine reports Senator Edmunds as say
ing
Owing to the peculiar circumstances
that have attended the last administra-
ton Andy JOhnson'sl it is desirable that
there should be an immediate and general
removal of the officeholders OF the country
as rule; and as an agency for that re-
moval, subject to our approval when we
meet again in confirmation of their sue
cessors, these bad men being put out, we
are willing to trust this executive with
that discretion.
Mr.. Blaine considers this Objectionable,
and he in substance charges Mr.. Ed
munds with permitting a large number of
men to be confirmed in executive session :;
and then when their places were wanted
for others getting up and branding them
as bad men" This Mr.. Blaine considers
to be neither broad craftsmanship nor fair
dealing. The Woodstock Standard re-
plies effectively to this criticism by quot
ing from the preceding page of his book.
Mr.. Blaine remarks: "There was a gen
President Johnson had forced into office
before the restraining act was passed "
The question naturally arises, says the
Standard, "Why should Edmunds be
criticised for failure to keep out of Office
the men whom Johnson, having the pow
err before the restraining act was passed,
had forced into Office ~
But Mr.. Edmunds did not originate the
expression charged to him. The Stand
ard shows that Mr. Morton of Indiana
has used it, while Mr.. Trumbull of Illinois
| spoke of the offices as badly filed and
Senators Yates of Illinois, Fessenden of
Maine and Howard of Michigan had all
emphasized the necessity of making
sweeping changes. Speaking after them
and in reference to the appointments pre-
viously SO characterized Mr.. Edmunds
used the language above quoted. Mr.
Blaine, claiming to be an impartial his
toran, omits all mention of the language
of the older Senators, who were the lead
ers in the debate, and singles out Mr.. Ed
munds as mark for his reproof. This
moves the Stdnddrd to say:
But then, Twenty Years of Congress-
would not have been symmetrical in all
its parts, in the estimation of its author, il
it lacked dig at that bad man from Yer
mont, whose silence, if not golden, is by
many believed to be more potent than the
voice of legion with banners. No legit
innate opportunity for the play of his sar
casm having been found, he was driver
to the necessity of perversion of history t
serve his purpose.

1t Would BE IA Disgrace.

We again hear rumors Of plot to de-
feat the reelection of Edmunds to the
United States Senate by the legislature of
Vermont. That there is some ground for
such reports is beyond question Mr.. Ed
munds made many enemies by his luke
warm course in the Blaine campaign,
Nevertheless, Mr.. Edmunds is Il man of
whom any State ought to be proud. We
do not agree with his political philosophy,
but every one must bear witness to his
great ability, industry and honesty, and
to the value of his public services. it
would be disgrace to Vermont to refuse
to return him to the Senate, and he alone
can make the influence of the State felt
IN national politics.-New HdrCH, conn

a Man WHO Is LIstehed 10 WITCH TIC THIks'
Senator Edmunds is not in the least
frightened by the talk of another man

Supreme Court, and when he has spoken
it has been field day with the members
of the Court Nothing delights the old
gentlemen more than case tough. big

a Reaction Against the Boycott

"A KcactlOn Against tnc boyco'''
The popular reaction against the unlaw-
ful and tyranncal methods adopted by
some of the trades unions, which has UNI
mstakably set IN, has shown itself very
distinctly in the case of Mrs. Gray OF New
York city, the little woman whose modest
bakery has been placed under boycott, be-
cause she refused to compel her workmen
to join the Bakers Union, when they
were satisfied with their places and wages,
and did not wish to join any union. The
Bakers Union has done it's best to drive
and keep away her customers from her
shop but she has gained many more than
she has lost. She has had over thousand
dollars sent her, by different persons in
sums of $50 or s25, with directions to
send bread to that amount to hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions. The
New York papers are giving her plenty of
free advertising. Persons from all parts
of the country visiting New York, go out
of their way to load themselves with the
products OF her oven, and hand her bills
of large denominations, for which they
refuse to accept change. The plucky lit
tie woman has about all she can do, what
with baking, receiving assurances of SYM
pathy and support, and running to the
bank with fresh contributions to her
fund. She is already obliged to employ
extra help-non- union, of course-and
all the men are working over
time and getting additional pay for
it. Meanwhile Mrs. Gray's friends
have taken her case before the courts and
the grand jury, to see if some legal pro
lection cannot be secured for her against
the existing conspiracy to injure her bust
ness. Four members of the Bakers
Union, who have been actively engaged in
the boycott were arrested on Thursday
on complaint of conspiracy. and the
grand jury of the court of general sessions
took up the matter of the boycott against
Mrs. Gray's bakery. The law CONSTITUTES
the offence as misdemeanor, and the
penalty attached is year in the peniten-
tiary or a fine of $500 or both, and as pub
lie sympathy is strongly on the side of the
woman, it is not unlikely that the boycott
tiers may get useful lesson; and would
be boycotters all over the country receive
a wholesome warning.

it is a secret conclave, devoted to trading
Offices and covering up corruption. There
is, however, we suppose, no Likelihood
that the Senate will make any such
change. The Democratic Senators as a
body as well as many Republican Sena-
tors are opposed to opening the doors,
and the arguments of General Logan and
others for open sessions will not be likely
to change them in n hurry.

The Chinese pawnbrokers in San
Francisco are reported to be fully as
shrewd as, if not shrewder than, the
fraternity, who usually monopolize the
business in American cities. They are
very prosperous, therefore, such a thing
as failure never having been known
among them. Their shops, which are
subterranean, are dens of the viest sort,
reeking with odors that no one but a
Mongolian could breathe and live. They
are exclusively patronized by Mongolians,
some of them fe Anime, and the pledges
are mainly articles of clothing, pipes of
innumerable kinds, some of them very
rich and handsome, jcwelry in curious
and fantastic shape of gold and the jade

ness for diamonds, emeraldS and other
gems), hair ornaments Of exquisite pat

Two Kentucky DesperadOes.

"Alf Underwood said a Congress.
man from Kentucky "was one of the
smoothest desporadoes that ever stole Il
horse or robbed traveller in the noun
tains of the old commonwealth. He was
the famous Jesses brother, and looked
the fiend he was, while Jcs c looked the
angel and was worse thal All. On ons
occasion ALI. forged an order foF $50 ea
relative in Bath County. The order
was protested and Alf. was arrested. He
made the man he imposed on go his bail,
and that same night he and Jesse stole Il
horse apiece and left for Nirg,n One
Of the horses gave out next day and they
left it at a farm house, with money
enough to have it taken Eack to the own
er, whose name they gave to the farmer,
and to whom they told that the horse
had been borrowed. They then put out
through Virginia Jesse OH foot and some
distance behind. The officers in pursuit
came on them n this condition, and cap
turing Jesse, they had a comparatively
easy time in getting Ali. On the way
back Jesse made an attempt to escape,
and he was shot in the back with a mus
krU ball and so badly wounded that he
was left i'll Jail in the next county town
the party reached. ALI. was taken on to
Owingsvile, KY, and jailel. He stayed
there some time, and one day Il younger
brother tied q revolver to pole, and
hoisting it up to the window, Alf took
it and prepared to leave his confinement.
When the jailor came around with the
prisoners supper he was confronted with
the muzzlc of the shooter, and having
nothing else to do, surrendered. Ali.
made him stay In the cell with him until
he had eaten his supper, and then he
locked the jailor up and went forth
free man.
He stole a couple of horses that night
and put off post haste to the Jail where
his brother Jesse had been recovering,
and Appearing before the sheriff, armed
and equipped, showed his papers forged
as acons, able and dcmlnded the prisoner.
The sheriff told him Jes was well
enough to travel. and he was anxious TO
have him sent where he belonged. lie
told the pseudo constable that lie was a
very dangerous man, however, and that
he would send Il deputy or two a,ong to
assist in his safe transfer. All. tod him
that he was not afraid of anything that
ever wore shoe leather, AMI felt perfectly
a1le to take the scound Ct back to justice
without assistance. Th, sheriff finally
agreed to let him have the prisoner, and
with few dire threats to Jesse who
was meekIy submissive as to what would
be his fate in case he made any attempt
to get away, Alf. put him on the extra
horse, and with the repeated cautions of
the sheriff ringing in his ears he rode
away with his prisoner. On the elge of
the town Alf transferred coupe of re-
volvers to his brother, bracsd him up
with drink and the two desperadoes
rode merriIy back to Kentucky and for
long time after that held high carnival
in the hiffS. These two brothers were
afterward the leaders in the famous
underwood War in the State, aud
Jesse died with his boots on, while Alf.,
if he lives, is in exile and cannot bear
the weight of his own name. = IEasbiag-
