“Corruption in Office,
Henry. Ward Beecher, speaking cf
the New York Legislature, in a recent
sermon, said : sii
. “Not ini Fulton Market is the meat
hung up and;-sold more épenly than
men are quartered and hung up for sale
in Albany.” Aten
Since the adjournment of ‘the Legis.
ure of this State, jeharges openly

___ remark applies ‘with equal force to this,
State. There ‘good réasons why
the names of parties cotitectedwith
these corruptions are not mentioned by=the press as the law of libel stands, but
there is no good reason “why the parties who acknowledge complicity in. the
corraption should not be, brought. be}
fore the Grand, Juries and rigidly examined in.regard to.the matter.
Whatever might be the result of
these investigations, the guilty parties
would be made to feel the liability of
detection, and hereafter we should
liave less boasting among the brokers
in regard to the accomplishment , of
their schemes, through the agency of
corruption,
One of the most infernal influences
connected with our Legislature is the
lobly. These ghouls that hang about
the Legislature during the entire session, do not hesitate to use the names
of legislators whose course is above
suspicion, and these men are frequently
bought and sold for or against a mezsure without their knowledge or consent,
the lobbyist first ascertaining how they
will vote upon. a certain. measure, and
then for a consideration pledging their
vote. The first step to be taken in purifying: politics is to break up this lob.
by. Make this~ work as criminal as
it is disgraceful, and ‘‘clean out” these
men who make the temples of legislation a den of thieves. But the lobby
lives and thrives, simply because it
finds material to work: upon in’ legislative bodies. The people must takea
‘hand in the reformation by defeating
——every aspirant for officewhosehonestyis not unquestioned, Honest men, asa
rule will inake honest: legislators, and
party ties should. never be strong
enough to induce a good citizen to vote
for any ‘other, The time has come
when good citizens, irrespective of party, must demand first and foremost,
“integrity of character,” as'a qualification for candidates,and politicians must
be taught that in order to secure the
success of party, principles, the very
best men must be standard bearers. A
high sense of duty, coupled with integ.
rity as a test for office, will soon restore
confidence among the people, and lift
our politicians out of thé mitre and dirt
into whieh they have been sunk by unprincipled. demagogues and dishonest
schemers,

A contest between two rival blacksmiths of Omaha, Nebraska, nanied R.

in the smallest space of time and with
the best show of workmanship, Stratton made 101 horseshoes in‘ two hours

hours and thirty minutes. The judges
decided that the work of each was

PUT THIS AND THAT TOGETHER.—
The San Francisco Chronicle of April
16th inst., announces with considerable
flourish the arrival, overland, of three
handred and fifty reams of paper for
its forth-coming enlargéd edition, This
paper was telegraphed for, says the
Chronicle, some weeks ago, and was 22
days en reute. . Now, the Chronicle
claims to have “the largest circulation
of any paper on the Pacific coast,”
while the Call swears to. over 18,000, a
number which would consume the
Chronicle's immense shipment in less
than nine days, Where the route is so
long, velegraphic.orders. necessary and
risks of accidents and delaye great, it
‘would seem that a provident provider
ought to secure enough to cover «the
contingencies of 4 fortnight, at the

A STRANGE Fact.—The Colusa Sun
of the 19th says; Itisa fact, no jess
strange thun true, that the spontaneous
growth-of vegetable matter in the Sacramento Valley changes’ almost every
season. Some seasons dog-tennel, foxback had Jed the people to suppose
that they had taken-the country. This
season, however, the country is covered with clover and other valuable
grasyés, to the exclusion of the others,
Who can account for this?
C. E. De Lona, Minister to Japan,
whoin very few people before thought
of much consequence, has gained a
great deal of credit forthe promptness
and. vigor of his course” in relation to
the Oneida disaster. The San Francisco Bulletin says—and every one will
coincide-—-that he has “earned the
thanks of his countrymen, as of all
right-thinking people, by his energetic
and able efforts to insure a strict inves
tigation, for his promptness in going to the scene of the disaster and
curing for the lost and the saved.”
Tne Kentucky Leyisiature proposes
to postpone the election of Congresemen until August 1871, thus leaving
that State unrepresented in Congress
until that time. It is boldly announced
that it is anticipated that by that time
a pretty good understanding will be
arrived at as to how wie accession of

It appeatsfrom this that. it is considered a ctimé to scratch a Democratic
ticket in San Francisco.and when the
Examiner makes such 4 charge the unterrified rush into print, andthe Hramtner thereupon “regrets the unintentional wrong.” The corruptions of the
Supervisors ring, and the heroes from
“Barbary. Coast,” are supported without question, fer fear df the anathemas
of the Hzaminer against scratches.
