Republican Senators believe that Sena-
tor Clark has offered to contribute $3.50
90 or more to the Democra,i &c campaign
fund this year if he has the general sup
port of the Democratic Senators, who are
generally disposed to vote against him
On the other hand, Democratic Senators
believe that Senator Clark has offered to
contribute 10 the Republican campaign
fund or to the campaign fund of individual
Republican Senators in return for support
on the Republican side of the chamber.
The astounding assertions of the above
paragraphs are not the emanation of q
sensationalist, but are published in the
Philadelphia Record as the result of the
observations of special, and evidently
well informed correspondent in Washing
ton.
Is there any man who can read this
story of wholesale bribery of Senators /;
who knows of the brides paid for the
election of Senators; who sees HANNA
building up new corruption fund, by an
enforced contribution or bride from Phiia-
delphia; who reads of bank presidents
claim for the use of government deposits
because of contributions made to poIiti-
cal fund lis there any one who can see these
constant happenings, without realizing the
depths of corruption to which we have so
speedily descended?
Brides here aud brides there; brides for
this and brides for that; the people cor
rupted; the parties corrupted Congress
corrupted; the treasury corrupted How
much more is there to be of it, before
either revolution, which will break up
the rottenness; or compliance which will
break up our government?

The Paulsboro- swedesboro County
Road.

The property owners abutting the Pauls-
boro -Swedesboro county road have rendered
a genuine public service in insisting on a
public hearing of their grievances before
the Board of Chosen Freeholders, and then
by so plainly stating their case that tax
payers haYe no reason for misunderstood
ing the extent of the imposition upon them
in the construction of that road.
No ordinary lsxity in the fulfillment OF
a public contract would bring such una
nimity of protest from those most interested
as was eviuced in the Court House last
Thursday, and no denial of any of the
important statements was vouchsafed by
any member of the Board or by the Super
visor or Engineer.
We have made our report OF the meeting
as full as is possible, the report of Engineer
Carriers explanation being written by him
self, and at our request.
In the whole transaction there seems to
have been lack of appreciation of the
importance of the expenditure of public
moneys.
While the contract was as plain as words
can state it, that the road should consist OF
two layers of stone of given dimentions
each to be four inches in thickness after
thorough rolling with a ten ton roller, tc
be finished with layer of fine stone, te
form a road eight inches in thickness one
year from its acceptance, the road was
built in haphazzard, happy go lucky
manner, four inches and a half to eleven
and a half inches in thick ness. with greal
quantities of sand raked in, filing the
entire mass. over its entire length, as a
binder"
The abutting property owners ask the
Board to bring this road up to the contract
standard before laying assessment on them
or relinquish them from the payment of q
paltry ten per cent. of its cost. and they
will stand their proportionate loss with the
balance of the county.
The latter proposition, TO our mind, is
unworthy the men who have made this
protest. If this road is in the condition SC
positively stated, and not denied. contrac
tor Mullen eonspired to cheat the county
and the county's servants were too weak tc

men answer for his crime against all the
taxpayers of the county, or be compelled
to build the road as he contracted to build
