Ie RRR ANB nn ta LR anes mip mins Peiiaansn i ei cs j “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 prs a the floor of the Assembly, of bargain and sale openly 1 : responsible man at-e publi meeting in San Francisco; we have abundart ma: ___ 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, Anvit Duet; Tunk, “Stoo Fry.” A contest between two rival blacksmiths of Omaha, Nebraska, nanied R. M. Stratton and. Andrew Manning, took place on the 26th of January, The match was for $50-a side, the stakes to -be awarded to the man’ whorcould turn off'one hundred horseshoes, completely made, with the exception of the corks, in the smallest space of time and with the best show of workmanship, Stratton made 101 horseshoes in‘ two hours and nineteen minutes; Manning accomplished his 100 atter laboring two hours and thirty minutes. The judges decided that the work of each was equally good, and awarded the prize to Statton on the ggound of quickness, be. i: beating his opponent. eleven Wai THE Prince of Austria, Queen Isa,.

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 least; ck 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 the Negroes to the yoting population of Kentucky willaffect the political status of the State, AN English Treasury return shows a amount of the funded debt of nited Kingdom is £727,589,940, the oo “St HELENA claims the most beauti. ful tree in the State—a gigantic Madrona, covered with wax like flowers. erty..

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.
