Friday Morning, December 10, 1875.
Independent Democracy in Congress.
Tho Republicans in Congress have
sagacious leaders, and their manage
ment of the debate on the Louisiana
case, as reflected in the admission of
Mr. Morey, was admirable. But the
vociferous crow that has ascended
from the opposition press, of a strictly
partisan character, may turn out to be
more sound and fury than anything
else. Mr. Wood and Mr. Lamar may
commit mistakes, but it does not fol
low that they can lead their Democrat
ic colleagues blindly. The New York
Herald notices that among the Demo
crats who voted against Messrs. Wood
and Lamar were a good many Southern
men—nearly the whole Texas, all of
the Arkansas and most of the Ken
tucky delegations, as well as others ;
and among Northern men such leaders
ns Judge Holman, Gen. Elijah Ward
and Hiesier Clymeu. The Herald fur
ther says: “ There is not a shadow of
doubt that Messrs. Wood and Lamar
were iu the wrong. It was a part of
the Wheeler adjustment, freely ac
cepted by both parties in Louis
iana last April, that Mr. Kellogg should
be acknowledged the de facto Gover
nor. As part of the adjustment, a
number of Democrats were seated and
Republicans ejected from the Legisla
ture, and we will not believe, without
further evidence, that the Democratic
leaders of that State consented to this
attempt to procure from the House of
Representatives by indirect means a
Quasi acknowledgement of McEnery aa
Governor. If they are guilty of this
they have blundered more seriously
than they can afford, and will lose the
sympathies of the country, which they
gained by their peaceful and orderly
submission last spring. There is ap
parently an intention among the Dem
ocrats in the House to revive the Lou
isiana question. If they are wise they
will not do it. If it is forced upon
them by the Republicans that is an
other matter, but the wrongs of Lou
isiana are now very well known. The
story will not bear retelliug. The coun
try is tired of it; nor is it likely that
these wrongs will be repeated.”
Whether Wood and Lamar were right
or wrong in this affair, it is very mani
fest that the Democratic leadership
should be in the hands of men who
can avoid serious errors of policy, and
wno, when they do move, will carry
along with them the combined party
vote. It is to be hoped that Mr. Ste
phens will soon be able to appear in
the Congressional arena. While it is
impossible for him to take the active
leadership of the Democracy of the
House, on the floor, his vast experi
ence, clear brain and wise counsels will
prove, if followed, of the greatest bene
lit. We shall rejoice for the country
when he establishes himself at his old
headquarters.
Savage.— Anent the proposition made
to transport the house in which Horace
Greeley ytas born to the Centennial
Exposition, the Cincinnati Gazette says:
“The idea is a good one. Let all the
houses in which eminent Americans
were born be carried to the Centennial.
And all Americans are eminent by that
declaration which made them all equal.
Many foreigners will come to tho Ex
position, and they must be longiDg to
see the houses in which Americans are
born. Equally brilliant is the sugges
tion that we should dig up the remains
of Washington, Lincoln, and various
other dead patriots, and carry them to
the Centennial and put them on exhi
bition, as they did the corpse of poor
Henry Wilson, which they hawked
from town to town for a show. There
are not a few who think that we should
take the Centennial occasion to show
that, although born of well-bred par
ents, a century of democracy has made
us a nation of fools.” An honest con
fession, from a Republican standpoint,
is good f or the soul.”
The Milk in the Cocoanut. —The
Philadelphia Times shows, by a few
facts and figures, the true inwardness
of the disgust felt in the commercial
centres of the East by the war in Cuba.
It says the balance of trade against us
is continually increasing. Thus, during
the last thirteen years the exports of
the Spanish islands to this country
have grown from §23,000,000 to §IOO,-
000,000 —that is quadrupled, while the
return trade from the United States
has only increased from §10,700,000 to
§21,800,000. The same relatively is
true of Mexico, which sells us about
$13,239,000 annually, and buys but
§1,073,000. And yet the Times is for
non-intervention. United States bonds
are great conservators of the public
peace.
The Difference. —ln one of his lec
tures, Sir John Bennett, a London
Alderman, got off this metaphor: “You
can stop a clock at any moment, but
you cannot stop a watch. So it is with
the talk of men and of women. Man is
a great ugly, coarse machine, but you
can silence him. Woman is a beauti
ful, fragile, jeweled thing—but she will
run on till she stops of herself.” Sir
John will have to be wound up, if he
continues to run down women in that
way. ,
The Chaplain. —The House Chaplain
is shot at by the Republican press, be
cause, during the war, he refused,
though a Connecticut man, to pray for
Lincoln. It was a matter of taste, just
as a good many so-called “men of God”
cursed Jefferson Davis. For our part,
we never objected to any preacher
praying for Lincoln, on the solid
ground that he needed, like most men,
a deal of praying.
Beecher —Miss Catharine Beecher
thinks that a confession of temporary
insanity would l e the best way for her
brother Henry to clear himself and
take anew- departure. There is too
much of that sort of monomania ex
tant, and an example is needed. If H.
W. B. can not escape in any other way;
he had better retire to a lunatio asylum.
; The Pacific Railroads —Gould and
Scott.
The chief assailant of the Texas
Pacific Railway is the New York Tri
bune, whose owner and controller is
J said to be no less a personage than
Jay Gould, the boss gambler of New
; York. Now Gould also controls the
Union Pacific Railway, which is re
ported to be an enormous fraud upon
the Government and people. The New
Orleans Times says New York,
Chicago and Boston are all directly in
terested in the present Union Pacific
and interested to prevent the construc
tion of a competing line, and may be
excused for a somewhat hysterical
opposition to a Southern line, but
shame and common decency should
stop the mouth of this pretentious and
inherently rotten organ of Jay Gould
from charging the whole South with
corrupt motives in attempting to
secure this measure of relief and
justice, the Texas Pacific. The
editor adds: “If the Union Pa
cific Railroad organs see fit to berate
Tom Scott, we have no objection. For
our part, we propose to watch our own
interests and see that the terms of the
grant are such as to hold Mr. Scott to
a performance consistent with those in
terests; for the rest, it is unimportant
to us how much advantage he gets
from the concession. It is very well
known that we have no special interest
in Mr. Scott. He happens to be the
only instrument through which we are
promised the attainment of a grand
object, and so long as he fulfils, with
business fidelity, the conditions im
posed upon him wejimaglne the South
ern half of the country at least will be
reasonably contented. We shall have
occasion hereafter to review more at
length the virulent opposition which
has broken out in the U. P. newspapers
since the St. Louis Convention. What
we wished to do in this paragraph was
merely to call attention to the amazing
spectacle of Jay Gould warning the
country against Tom Scott 1”
The point the Times makes against
Gould as the enemy of Scott is a good
one. When the Devil turns precisian
and quotes Scripture, he is more to be
despised than when he comes in the
guise of that reptile which deceived
the first woman. In any case, he is al
ways to be guarded against.
The great objection to the Texas Pa
| cific scheme, beyond the possible jug
gling pointed out by Gen. Johnston, is
a political one. Can a Democratic
| House of Representatives, composed
largely of Southern men and ex-Con
federates, on the very threshold of a
Presidential election, afford to grant
a subsidy to Col. Scott or any other
man? That is the prime question. We
would like to see a Southern Pacific
I Railway built and in operation, but
Ido not care to hazard a Democratic
| success, in 1876, by favoring it. -
Journalistic. —The free-born Ameri
j can of the South grumbles if he misses
I his paper once in a while, because the
! printers take holiday. But, in India,
| there is a vast improvement upon this
system. We read, for example, that,
ia honor of the Prince of Wales' ar
rival, the proprietor of a native paper
issued the following pronunciamento :
“ The present is an occasion when all
our countrymen should cease to work,
and participate themselves in tho joys
| and festivities incidental to it. Accord
ingly we allow ourselves and our estab
lishment leave of absence for a couple
of weeks. During this short recess we
wish our subscribers and constituents
health and good luck.”
Houssaye.— The other day, the son
of Arsene Houssaye was married. A
Paris correspondent says the music
was delicious, and the wicked French
writer “looked almost sanctimonious
in his immaculate toilet as he knelt at
the altar with the newly wedded pair.
The next day he issued a book, which
I dare say he will not ask his new
daughter to read. He writes books
about women which, although he pro
fesses critically to study feminine
character, are intended to be read only
by men.” No stranger can have a just
knowledge of the French woman’s true
character by the salacious writings of
the Parisian wits.
in
The Currency.— A Western paper,
not Democratic, thinks, so far as the
currency is concerned, we had better
suffer the ills we have than to have a
delicate structure, on which the pros
perity and even the solvency of the
country depend, tinkered by charla
tans who know no more of its complex
relations than a monkey does of tho
mechanism of a watch. This Is a
roundabout thrust at Grant, Bristow
& Cos.
Disgruntled. —Some of the red-hot
Radical papers object to the Demo
cratic door-keeper of the House of
Representatives, because he performed
a similar function for the Confederate
i Congress. We are not so particular.
Deuce take the politics of a chap who
opens the door, so he does it cleverly
and does not require, as some truly
loyal fellows did, a heavy fee for the
privilege.
“ Crooked.” — A correspondent writes
us to know the full meaning of the
word “crooked” as applied to whiskey.
So far as we can ascertain, it is a term
characterizing frauds upon the revenue.
The whiskey itself is good, and regu
larly manufactured, but it reaches the
market in a manner the reverse of
straight, by collusion between the deal
ers and some of the Government offi
cials.
Jubilant. —A loud cackle goes up
from the Republican press because Mr.
Fernando Wood and Mr. Lamar were
worsted in debate on the Louisiana
question, brought up by the introduc
tion of Morey’s credentials. The glee
some editors eail this the first victory
of the Republicans. Well, let them
have this little Manassas. So we win
an Appomattox, it will all be right.
A Big Thing. —A ranch in New
Mexico, larger than the State of Rhode
Island, has been sold recently for
$219,000. There are many small patches
of Rhode Island which could not be
bought for ten times that sum.
Intriguing for the Presidency.
It is claimed by the Republican press
that the battle royal over the organi
zation of the House is one of in
trigue between Thurman, Pendleton,
Hendricks and Tilden, for the Presi
idency. So far, it is thought, Mr.
Thurman has won all the positions.
What the Democratic party should
contend for now is principles, not men.
We trust there is virtue and fortitude
enough in the rank and file of the
party to sacrifice any man, or any men,
rather than forsake principle and go
into the campaign of 1876 on a mere
scramble for spoils and spoilsmen.
Astor. —The Washington Chronicle
makes this point: “William B. Astor
was worth $100,000,000. That is to say,
he owned $100,000,000. He was the
only man in America who did not think
he could run a newspaper better than
the editor.” It is well to add that he
left the editors nothing in his will.
m
Disgusted. — Ever since the Demo
cratic House of Representatives has
assembled, tho North gallery, which
had become a sort of roost for the idle
negroes of Washington, has shown a
beggarly account of empty benches.
This is significant.
Sherman. — Instead of “Sherman’s
Historical Raid,” they now call it
“Sherman’s Raid on History.” This is
a very neat way of conveying the lie
direct as well as circumstantial.
• i—i • i
Stephens.— Mr. Stephens’ old seat
near the Speaker’s platform has been
reserved for him. We hope he will
soon occupy it. The “boys” may need a
little of his wisdom., after a while.
High Life. —A Brooklyn,book-keeper,
with a salary of $2,000 per annum, con
trived to live at the rate of $20,000 a
year. It is unnecessary to say that he
was a kleptomaniac.
No Joke.— lt is a tough job to run
“George” and a newspaper simulta
neously.
The Army. —The United States army,
on paper, is composed of 25,600 men.

Alarming Increase of Clerical Dis
honesty-Betrayals of Commercial
Trust, and What They Lead To—No
table Illustrations—The Prime Ne
cessity of Teaching Vico a Severe
Lesson, and Putting Honesty at a
Premium.
[N. Y. Times.]
Every newspaper reader must have
noticed the unusually large number of
exposures of dishonest clerks and
eashiers lately made in this city.—
Whether these have been crowded into
a few weeks by the general scrutiny
which the close of the year always
makes in mercantile affairs or not, we
do not know. It is certain, however,
that tho magnitude of some of these
thefts, and the baseness of certain
breaches of trust, show a most unfor
tunate state of things. In tho four or
five cases of the deliberate stealing of
goods from mercantile houses which
have been reported within a few weeks,
the facts looked blacker for the thiev
ing employes than they would have if
the purloiners had been driven to theft
by sheer distress. One young man,
who had smuggled his pluuder out of
the warehouse for more than two
years, and had systematically repack
ed it and sold it, is described as a per
son of good habits and “ highly respect
able connections.” Yet he had stolen
about twenty thousand dollars’ worth
of goods from his employers before he
was detected.
It will probably be found that almost
all the betrayals of commercial trusts
to which we refer have extravagant or
fast living for their immediate motive.
It need not be supposed that expensive
habits necessarily gambling,
drinking or secret immoralities. That
there is too much of this iu tho career
of young men of small incomes and
extravagant lives everybody admits.
One young man, who managed to make
away with nearly one hundred thou
sand dollars of his employer’s cash a
week or two since, was discovered to
be maintaining a costly private estab
lishment. Another dishonest cashier
was suddenly found to be a gambler,
and a third, over-fond of fast horses
and fine equipages, went into the stock
market to “make a raise,” lost, and
finally retrieved himself by stealing
from his employers’ cash box and falsi
fying his accounts. But, although these
particularly flagrant breaches of trust
seem to prove that vicious habits lead
directly to dishonest practices, multi
tudes of other cases remain unac
counted for on any such theory.
Somehow it seems hard for our peo
ple, more particularly our city people,
to come down to the plainer style of
living which wo knew before the war.
The times have changed, but the man
ners have not. Ever since the panic of
1873 we have been “coming down to
bed-rock,” as the expressive phrase
runs, but thousands of people reruse to
modify their expenditures accordingly.
In the nature of things, it is impossible
for men to make the sudden fortunes,
with almost no capital, which were
once so common. But young men in
commercial life, shut up to the pros
pect of a certain fixed and not prince
ly salary, are discontented because
they cannot keep luxuriously fur
nished apartments, entertain their
friends handsomely, and dress expen
sively. The highly respectable young
man, of correct habits, who muddles
away his modest salary on fine clothes,
upholstery, pictures, and bric-a-brac,
is in a fair way to be tempted to steal
from his employers when he has a good
chance. He cannot endure a plain
style of living—so many or his as
sociates’ manner of life makes his
seem mean. In this way the tempta
tions of a city life are really much
greater han the moralists make them
appear.
The consequences of this false style
of life are clearly apparent. If some
new Asmodeiis could take the roofs off
our City houses, he would be appalled
by the revelation of domestic unhap
piness caused by ambitious extrava
gance. Rut, worse than this, is the
crime Into which so many young men
are led by a similar weakness. Em
ployers do not know much about the
habits and expenses of their servants.
We do not exactly see how they can.
The conditions of society havo changed
very much since the time when young
men in shops, warehouses, and bank
ing-houses were regarded as apprenti
ces, and were a part of the family of
their employers. The only hope for
the future is in a more general practice
of economy in all departments of life.
The old-fashioned virtue of frugality
seems quite lost. Few young men save
anything, Many of them spend more
than they earn. The result is that the
shore is strewn with moral wrecks.
Lovers should be careful how they
act in the country, for potatoes have
eyes, corn baa ears, and bean stalk.

- BOYS IN OBEY.”
WE were wont to admire the boys who
wore the grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival
rous hearts that beat under it. They com
manded the admiration of the true and the
brave in every land. But how few admire
a lino head enveloped in grey hair and
whiskers!—very few. Wo all love admira
tion, and nothing in our appearance is
more calculated to secure it than pretty
hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow has
robbed you of it, you can regain it by the
use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its populari
ty is so great that it can be found on the
shelves of every druggist in the land.

APPLETON’S
AMERICAN CICIMDIA
NEW REVISED EDITION.
ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE
ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY
SUBJECT.
Printed from. New Type, and Illustrated with
several Thousand Engravings and
Maps.
The work originally published under the
title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO
PAEDIA was completed in 18G3, since which
time, the wide circulation which it has at
tained in all parts of the United States, and
the signal developments which has taken
place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and
üblishers to submit to an exact and thoro
ugh revision, and to issue anew edition en
titled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA,
Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowl
edge has made anew work of reference an
imperative want. „ .
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts, aud the convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions have occurred,
involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own coun
try, which was at its height when the last
volume of the old work appeared,
has happily been ended, and a
new course of commercial and in
dnstrial activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our
GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
Have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of tho
last decade, with the natural result of the
lapse of time, have brought into public
view a multitude of new men, whoso names
arc in every one’s mouth, and of whose
lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought
and important sieges maintained, of which
the details are as yet preserved only in the
newspapers or in the transient publications
of the day, but which ought now to take
their place in
PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY.
In preparing the present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim of
the eaitors to bring down the information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish
an accurate account of tho most recent
discoveries in science, of every fresh pro
duction in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as
to give a succinct aud original record of
of the progress of
POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS.
The work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, and with the
most, ample resources for carrying it on
to a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates
have been used, but every page lias been
PRINTED ON NEW TYPE,
Forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predeces
sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex
fienditure, and with such improvements
n its composition as have been suggested
by longer experience and enlarged knowl
edge,
THE ILLUSTRATIONS.
Which are introduced for the first time in
the present edition, have been added not
for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the exDiana
tions in the text. They embrace all
branches of science and of natural history,
and depict the most famous and remarka
ble features of scenery, architecture and
art, as well as the various processes of
mechanics and manufactures. Although
Intended for instruction rather than em
bellishment, no pains have been spared to
insure their
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE.
The cost of their execution is enormous,
and it is belived they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable feature of, the
Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high charac
ter.
This work is sold to subscribers only,
payable on delivery of eacli volume. It
will be complete in Sixteen Large Octavo
Volumes, each containing about 800 pages,
fully illustrated with several thousand
Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
