Ought man ever to go osurety for
another? Why not? 1t is most
friendly act. If prudently done, it
may be of the most eminent benefit
to a neighbor. 1t gives him the
benefit of your good reputation
where he is not known. 1t lends
him your credit where his own is not
sufficient. 1t puts him in funds
which otherwise he could not COM
mand. Such service to friend is
generous, and sometimes even noble.
No better use can be made Of ones
money than to help true friend.
We are commanded to remember
those in bonds as bound with them.
To be sure, this was originally ap-
Piled to bonds of different kind,
but with not whit more propriety
than to pecuniary bonds. A man
who, by few thousand dollars, can
save his friends, and perhaps his
family, from bankruptcy and want,
could hardly spend his money in a
manner which, all his life long, he
would remember with more satis-
faction.


But there are certain moral and
prudential considerations which
should be borne in mind in going
surety for friend. You should
make up your mind how much prop,
erty you have, and how much you
are willing to give away, absolutely
for that friend whom you indorse

HAVANA, March 9O-For all that yesterdays Diario
published accounts of six fights and skirmshes won
by Spanards in the West, aud though these accounts
are more or less circumstanta and backed by official

world refuses to believe them, even when they speak

of at least $3.50 600 by the company, and will
result in very ma 'eral advantages to the con-
venience and business interests OF the rail

on the Hudson, and affords the finest kind of

in their attacks upon West Virginia's

from the Pittsburgh Gazette of Monday:


Said Mr.. Boreman, in replying to an
objection made in a committee-room OF
the Senate, the other day: "There need
be no apprehensious as to the coal sup
ply of the lower Ohio valley, by reason
of the bridge obstacles at Bellaire and
Parkersburg. The Sandy and Kama
wha rivers, below these bridges, will be
able to supply all the lower markets"

tor He degraded his trust, and betray-
ed the interests of his people in this pal
try make-shift. We do not impugn his
motives; that may be left to an outrag-
ed constituency, who will not overlook
their own duty in the premises. Nor
shall we discredit the universal belief,
at Washington and elsewhere, that he is
the Senatorial attorney of the Baltimore
railway. Be that fact as it may, a paid
attorney for the corporation could not
have said and done more than he effect
lively did to promote its special interests


As an index of the now prevailing
opinion OF BoREMAN's mental and moral
heft, this extract is very fair. Some OBJ
iect for enc reason, some for another,
but decided majority of the Radicals
in this region unite in the belief that
tho new Senator from West Virginia is
neither able nor honest. We know of lit
tie reason why those people who, accord
ing to their own showing, have been
sold out by FOREMAN, should receive
one G rain of sympathy, no matter how
sad their sorrow. During several years
they have had placed before them the
most incontrovertible proofs that this
man was a narrow-minded, unscrupu-
lous, and greedy demagogue. But
they rejected all light upon
the subject, dismissed all his Guberna-
tsrial villainies with contemptuous
talk about "Copperhead malice" and
absolutely made belief in BoREMAN's
infallibility a test of fidelity to the Re-
publican party. All that sort of thing
is over now. BoRENAN has made these
good "loyaT folks pay dearly for sim
ming against light and knowledge in
setting him up as saint. And while
they writhe and groan under his snub-
bing and kicking, nothing but the fact
that it is ungenerous to rejoice over an
