On Saturday last NEWTON BOOTH
vacated the Gubernatorial chair, and
is now on his way to Washington as
United States Senator to succeed HA-
GER. RoMUALDo PAoHEGo, late
Lieutenant-Governor, is now Cover
nor, and WILLIAM IRWIN, President
pro tenn. of the Senate, is Lieutenant
Governor. The new Governor is so
well and popularity known that we
need to say nothing in his favor. That
he will faithfully and satisfactorily
discharge the duties of Governor for
the short time he will hold the posi-
ton, no one for moment doubts.
The new Lieutenant-Gove is what
is termed a Bourbon Democrat, and a
politician who is for himself first, last
and all the time. He voted for FIRE.
MONT for President, but shortly after
experienced change of heart, or re-
allied that he was not on the winning
side, and went over to the Democracy.
He first attained notoriety by voting to
sustain Governor HAIGHT's veto of
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany's subsidy bills, from which time
until the last session of the Legisla-
ture he was regarded as a staunch an
ti-subsidy man; but in the effort to
distinguish himself as the author of a
Freights and Fares bill, he become so
confused in trying to comprehend the
logic of STEVE GAGE and other Gen.
trail Pacific lobbyists, that he has left
a strong impression on the minds Of
the people that his anti-subsidy prin-
ciples are not so strong rs to intrude
themselves in the way of his chances
for Governor. Mr.. IRWIN will use the
prestige of his short term as Lieuten-
ant-Governor as lever to hoist him.

GHECO. The matter of BooTHS resig-

An oppressive government makes a
nation of robbers. The little brandy
mine that was struck a few days ago
near this city and which startled the
community as though an unparalleled
crime had been committed, is no new
thing; it has only revealed sample
of what is going on all over the coun-
try. This is the largest transaction
that has been revealed to us, but its
magnitude does not increase the crime
in moral sense. The man that had
his property assessed for fifty dollars
less than its real value and swore to it,
is guilty of higher crime than our
unfortunate distillers. He has not
only swindled the Government, but
committed perjury besides. 1t is the
boast of some respectable citizens of
our community that they never pay
any taxes. Such men have no right
to hold up their hands in holy horror
at the discovery of little brandy,
underground. Let him that is with
out sin cast the first stone." The fact
is majority of the whole people are
in sympathy with the would-be Gov
ernment swindlers; and there are
many reasons why they are. First,
because majority of them have been





guilty of the same character of crime,
only in less degree. Second, they
are opposed to Government that
shows such partiality between its
subjects. The manufacturing men Of
the East are protected; the iron men
of the West are protected; the sugar
men of the South are protected, but
the grape producers of this coast have
ever been legislated against and can
get no protection. Third, they are
opposed to the Government for max
ing such laws, not to increase the rev.
enue of the Government, but for the
sole purpose of feeding an army
of officials at the expense of
the hard working people, merely
to keep them as spies in every commu-
nifty. There is not less than half
dozen of these officers among us all
the time, and they are well paid at
the expense of the poor, hard working
people. They claim $40, 900 made for
the Government by this discovery.
We will see how much of this amount
reaches the Treasury of the United
States and how much of it is absorbed
by salaries. When MATHEW KELLER
and others went to Washington few
years ago to petition reduction of
tax on distilled grape brandy, there
was but twelve dollars and fifty cents
to our credit there. And this is about
a fair proportion of what the Govern
ment receives from every part of the
United States. The people have paid

says There is no doubt that careful
efforts have been made in New York
to feel the pulse Of financial men on
the same subject. The idea has been
seduously impressed upon them within
the last month by persons coming
directly from General Grant, that It
would be worth hundreds of millions
to the business of the country if the
financial community could be assured
now of an unchanged policy on the
part of the government and a steady
adherence to hard money ideas, and
that nothing can give such assurance
but the denomination of Grant. The
idea has made some he adway.

Still the Democratic orators go on
talking about withdrawing National bank
notes and substituting greenbacks, though
they know there is law; the law creating
greenbacks-which forbids the issue OF
more than $400,000000 of legal-tender
paper, and that we are only about $780,
100000 below the limit now. The Dem
ocratic proposition-is, therefore, to violate
the green back law, and thus break the
contract that the Government made with
the people. The next thing is that the
decision of the Supreme Court affirming
the constitutionality of greenbacks, rest
ed upon the war power only, and that an
issue of legal-tender paper in time of pro-
found peace would be declared unconsti-
tutional by the Court without dissent
ing Judge. There cannot be more green
backs, therefore, without violation of
the law of Congress and of
the Constitution. Sam. Cary is lawyer
enough to know this perfectly we'll, and
every howl that he raises for the substi
tuition of greenbacks for National cur
rency ought to choke him. The Demo
Gratis propose, also, to take greenbacks in
part for Customs duties. This means
that the Democrats do not propose to
pay the coin interest on the bonds; and
that is repudiation in the most fragrant

of its citizens as a personal shame. 1t
would, moreover, almost certainly in
volve US in a foreign war, and our credit
being gone, we could not raise money to
carry it on. We might run little while
on illegal greenbacks, but they would de-
preciate like the Confederate currency.

struction of the National banking system

The New York Times says: Rev. S.
Malone, pastor of the Roman Catholic
Church of SITS. Peter and Paul in Brook
lyn, on Sunday last (Aug. 29) in alluding
to the opening of the parochial schools,
paid warm tribute to the efficiency of
our public schools. He never, he said,
had spoken q word against them, for he
knew the great good they had done, and
the benefits which they had conferred
on the people of this country. Had it
not been for these schools we should not
he asserted, have such a powerful Gov
ernment as that which we now possess.
Notwithstanding this commendation of
our public schools, the reverend gentle
man urged his parishioners to send their
children to the parochial schools. The
Church desired it, and as a minister of
that Church he was bound to obey its
commands. Father Malone evidently
regretted that his clerical position forced
him into a seeming antagonism with the
public schools. He said that as they
could not have q division of the money
for educational purposes, 1T appeared TO
him that there could not be found, in
accordance with all principles of justice
and right, a better system than we now
have in our public schools.

view of the matter, (though dangerous
one for him to express) but what he or

We have never pretended to be satisfied with tbe action of Republican President and a Republican Congress in giving countenance to Louisiana Kellogg and hls usurping government of thieves. Nor do we anymore approve of cut-throat White League. We blame Congress and the President for taking sides with either party when they should have left it to the people of Louisiana to choose an honest governfnent at an honest election. We have observed with profound disgust that no such thing as an honest Republican State government has seemed possible in the South. It seemed at one time as if those states could never attain to honest self lfgovernment without the overthrow of the national Republican party. For this and other reasons we have been inclined to follow the apparent tendency of the coun- try press and have given more and more attention to local news and less to politics, making the Enquirer local rather than

 party paper. That we are not singular among Republicans in Litchfeld County

 in losing the keen interest we once took in politics the following table of party votes cast at State elections in this county, for the past eight years, will sufficiently
