I have been over the farms, among the laborers, observing their work and noting their daily life.

I have been int the bonsea of the humblest of them, sat at their tables, eaten with them and slept with them. I bare been alone the railroads, where I saw thousands of well-to-do whom I talked and made myself acquainted with their Joys and troubles. I went north into the less populated regions, where I ate and slept in the hut of the settlers." Mr. Arch regret that it is the wrong time of year to examine the western states and territories; and he goes back with somewhat slender ideas as to the respective chances of laboring men in this country and In Canad. He said further in his interview with the Tribune reporter: The seareitv of g-xod laboring mn is very apparent in Canada, and rnanv private persons and representatives of public corp0-tions have spoken to me regarding the probability of the emigration of my countrymen.

One railway president has offered to ffire work ta men and assist in their trans- rjrtsuon. II the state government of the mon wiil do as wePffor settlors as will do, I may safety hit that within nineteen months there will be t'l, Jf) Eojrt-sh emigrant making homes in America.

TIOX. The Democrafic judicial cocventioa for 'be seventh district, which was held ia this riiy yesterday, unanimously adopted the nomination of the Kcrnihltcan judicial oon-TentioB, which named Iloa. Darid Kamicy as a candidete for jutit of the supreme court.

There is, therefore, the Mint unanimity in thi ditrict this fad as there was two year ago, when Judge E. Darwin Smith was the candidate of both parties. The concurrence in the. nomination of Judge Humey by the convention yestsrdav wes in accordance with the decidedly expressed Tiews of the Ipjtdntr; Democratic rnemlxrs of the bar from a'! parti of the district. We jioint to the action in our judicial district this year as well as to the selection of our judges heretofore, in justification of the views we have expressed that the people are rapahlc of choosing tlicir own judicial GfUfers, and that they unite in making tiie l.icsl elections.

Tira rwrvATtwa snra of mourning among the Medoca is tar and ashes and a death in the family does not, accordingly, impoverish those of the surviving relatives whse duty it is to look grief -stricken and pretty. White Eeto ia frequently mentioned as the roost charming editor; but Deacon Richard Smith of the Cincinnati Gaeette, if ws may place confidence In that pleasant work of fiction the New York Sun, is the nobiet and the best. Rriron has rr mat Mrs.

Woodhall the authorities not to pot her in jail again, promising in return for their mercy to drop the Beeeher scandal forever. And certain'y theWoodbull paper has had nothing to sxy about Mr. Beeeher for months back. I'ros Eoimr api.t says eome sharp things, in another column, of the London Times and journalism in general, and thereby prove the assertion of Henry Watterson that as a journalist he would have been even more suc cessful than he has been as a dramatist. Wl Know of no more gratifying intelligence than that of the death of a western com nositor who insisted on mentioning a bony bride, thoxigh the editor had written It bonny.

He died very suddenly, and it is our fervent wist that hi peculiar disease niiy become epidemic. Secjult societies. Professor Wilder of Cor nell informs us, "are unknown in heavea. xV hat does the professor know about it 1 He never visited, heaven, and it is by no means certain that when he tries to go there ha won't be blackballed. Let us not be jo cer tain aJout these things, professor.

Wk Beg to coDgratulate the honorable Fiergon Htjilett. He will now be permitted to run for county judge alone, without being pestered as to the necessity of filling up the senatorial vacancy. And, as everybody knows, one distinction cf that kind is all that the broadest shoulders can comfortably carry. Mr. Cowex, it is said, is anxkras to sell the Independent, the circulation and advert isin patronage of that paper having greatly fall en off and Mr.

Bo we a being anxious to go to Europe. We don't know how true this is; but certainly Mr. Bjecber's name is a tower of strength to the Independent's chief news paper rival. Ir there is anything that secures the keen and absorbing interest of the general reader a boat this time, it is the startling editorials ruler the caption "The Duty of the Hour. Few can read them without weeping, and it is an undeniable fact that the exceptkma give vent to their excitement in profane language.

The floating bar-koom on Lake Cham plain hae been horned by some temperance people. and it is found that neither the laws of New York nor Vermont can touch them, any more than they could touch the owners of the bar room for selling liquor. And now will somebody tell us whether it is necessarily a poor rule that doesn't work both ways We LEAR from the Brooklyn Eagle that the Beeeher scandal is not to be reopened by the Plymouth church committee or any other committee. The Beeeher scandal, says that paper, is dead, as are the men who caused it, and the effort to resurrect it now is only less contemptible than the course of lying and equivocation which created it. Good.

Louisville has had the novel sensation of a prostitutes' ball for charitable purposes. Two hundred dollars waa realised, and the money was used for the aid of the sick and suffering in Memphis. There are many ob jects of charity which would indignantly re fuse aid from such a source but few questions are asked when the object of charity is to escape the advances of death. Asita Dtcktxsox, according to the Troy Press, has been chartering a special steamer and riding a fast horse again, this time in order to prevent a disappointment to a large audience at Keesville. The cost was something more than sixty dollars, and Miss Dickinson was more than an hour behind time at that.

Is it too much to say of Perseverance that her name is Anna Dickinson? We abe told of a southern lady whose hair is more than six feet long. She didd, however, and the hair waa buried with her; and now the physician who attended her is persecuted nearly to death by the ladies of the locality because he did not insist in the beginning of her disease that she was insane. We don't know why he should have so in sisted we only know that this is the situa tion to-day. Professor James Allex, a Providence aeronaut, is going to make an ascent from San Francisco, to see whether he can reach Brother Wise's easterly air-current and sail with it to New York, and to learn, likewise, whether a balloon can be kept up long enough to make the necessary journey. Mr.

Alien pre fers to mtvke his easterly -air-current experiment above land and very sensibly, for, as Faddy remarked, when one strikes dry land be knows where he is. It is scogested the New York Times that "special commemorative dollars, suitably inscribed, be issued by the government to mark Its resumption, On Monday next, of the exchange of silver for greenbacks. Such coins, aays the writer, would be transmitted as heirlooms through millions of families as a memento of the rebellion which caused the disappearance of coin in common life, and the financial heroism and national honesty which restored it. Aa excellent idea; and yet we frankly confess that any kind of silver dollar, commemorative or otherwise, will be a good enough heirloom for more than two-thirds of this portion of the human family. Hos.

Jobs H. Selkbeq has received many flattering notices from the press since his nomination to the -senatorship; but he says that nothing has so warmed his blood, so sot him in good-nature with his fellow-man, ao given him satisfaction with the past and a glorious hope for the future, ao imbued him with lofty patriotism and strength to labor for his men and brethren, so bound his heart to the starry banner and so filled him with confidence that the Philadelphia centennial will be a success, as a notice in the New York Sun in which he is abased like aa ordinary pickpocket. Which goes to show, aa we hare frequently renuurked, that the Sun is an angel in disguise very much in disguise. The latk Jobs C. Hekxak was so disgusted daring bis later years with the prize-ring, we learn from the New York Sun, that he could not bear to hear it mentioned.

He endeavored to lead quiet life, drinking no more than was quite necessary and making to trouble with anybody, voting the De-no-cratic ticket, running his saloon, etc And he was very popular with the boy whose tucoii.iiima, now that he ia dead, are aa emphatic aa they are characteristic, Chria. O'Ctumor aays, "Heworehia heart ooulde his overcoat. Why, he never waa any mora than a twerve-j ear-old boy. Anybody could io.pi se on him by an appeal to his feelings. And Earry UiH remarks quietly, "He was a good 'tin and a good square fellow.

He will be buried ia Weat Troy. Mrs. Heenaa (formerly Miss Sarah Stevens), who has been in Euroi for several months, sailed on learning of her Husband's iflue, and ia expected this Josara Asca is now ia Now York; but he will soon depart for England, with the intention of returning next May. He will bring ith him 500 laborers and set them down in Caeada, and will then immediately proceed to investigate the chances for labor era in li western portion of this country. Mr.

Archie a thoroughly practical man. "1 have done soma downright hard work dor-trg the past seven months, said Mr. Arch to a Tribune reporter, with a a mile of "and I haxe made myself perfectly acquainted with the workingman of Canada, hia home, his labors, his pay, his savings and his prospects. My time has not been spent in riditig about in carriage. You utight a well carry man about ia a hearse aa to shut baa into wagon.

That aaid contracting board waa bound by law to receive bids, opon public notice, for the work in this emptamt mentioned, and award a contract therefor to the hwt bidder therefor, who wonld give adequate security for the performance of said wirk. 1 hat finor to the '-xh day of liewmtter, 1 A said contracting board bad duly given public notii-e of a letting by conlra-t to the lowest bidder or bidders who would give adequate security for the performances of said work, of tbe repair for five years from January 1st, of superintendent section number one of tbe Erie canal, including the dredging out of the Albany basm. That by said notice the time of hldini such letting was appointetl for tbe tb day ol December, lstit, and the place appointed was the office of tbe canal commi-ioners io the city of Albany, at which place aeali proof pais for the said work and materials were advertised to be received unld ii o'clock noon of said last meuttooed That, on said Ltocember Stn, lfi, a Iaree number of persons attended at said place to bit! for tbe above mentioned piece of work, who were competent and prepared to give adequate security for the performance thereof.

That several proposals were prepared for presentation to said board at fair nxts ai containing terms advaotaeeous to tbe state, which rates were tbe fair value of said work and and which bids were much lower in amount than the proposals of tbe deltnCant Stephens, as hereinafter alleged. Ihat, orccrg such persons, several bad prepared bid to rio said work at the rats below named, which grates were lower ant more advantageous to the stuethan the rates contained in tite cen'-rsoc of said Stephens below mentioned, and others were reidy and competent to give adequate security jc the performance ot work. And the plaintiffs sar, that the defendants conspired, combined amd confederated together, to deceixe and to defraud the plaintiff, by inducing them, the sad plaintiff, to let "the work hereinbefore mentioned at higher rates than the same tra reasonably worth, and at higher rates thtn thtse at which the plaintufs might hive procured tbe said work to be done, had it not ben for such combination and conspiracy, and the acts hereinafter mentioned. That, by such combination and conspiracy, the plaintiffs were deceived and defrauded, and oined to a large amount, as hereinafter stated. That, in pursuance of said combination and conspiracy, and as a part thereof, and with the intant to d9ceive and defraud the plaintiffs, the defendant did assemble on the said December 2th, 1HJ, lie-fore the hour at which said bids wer to be out in before tbe said contracting board, and did organise a meeting.

That at said inset-ing the defendants and divers other persons did put up at auction among themselves the privilege of bidding for the work hereinbefore mentioned, and the right to control all he bids hich ere to be put in for said work. That it waa a2reed bv the defendant xn.l said other persons among themselves that the pei son who would pay the most for the sole privilege of bidding for said work and for the said bids including the said bids of the defendants, Spencer, Kadcliif and Kniotoe, should receive said bids and control the same to the end. and with the intent that the person so paying the highest price should mutilate the said bids and put them in as heriio-aiter set forth. That aU tlie defendauis tetre piesfrU ai gaid meeting and tStat aome of them made bids thereat, in the manner and for the purpose hereitibefore and hereinafter net forth. ami ttiat me oj them paid muney for laid pu; pc.f, and that of them received monrj in tht said sa'e of their said bid, ani that all of them, with the intent to defraud ana aeetrve the pram; 'ins a hereinbefore and hereinafter stated, did Join and participate, in meetung ana rue rraudurent piuposes mereoj.

That, In pursuance of said conspiracy and combination, and aa a part thereof, and as a means of carrying out the same, tbe defendants. Lord, Mudgett, and others, did with tbe intent to deceive and defraud tbe plaintiffs as hereinbefore and hereinafter pay toothers defendants or to the persons whom these represented, and to the aforesaid persons whose names are unknown to the plaintiffs as above stated, divers large sums of money to induce them to withdraw from said bidding and competition, and to fad and omit to pot in said bids, and to omit to prepare any bids, and to surrender to said persons so paying said money, said bids or proposals, and to (jive to persons so paying said money the control of said bids. That, after the said surrender of said bids, the defendant did fraudulently mutiiate aud deface the said bids surrendered as af oresaid, so as to render tbem defective and illegal. That the defendants did thereupon put in before said contracting board, on aaid December 35th, lsid, tbe said bids so mutilated and defaced, together with a bid for said work in the oameof the defendant Stephens, as bidder, wherein the said Stephens did propose to make said repairs on section one of the Erie canal at the rate and for the compensation of $70,000 per annum, and to dredge out said Albany basin at tbe price of seventy cents per cubic yard tor excavation. That said rates of prices in said bid of said Stephens were largely in excess of the fair value of said work, and largely in excess of each or any of the said bids so mutilated and defaced and withhe'd and largely in excess of the prices at which said persons who failed and omitted to prepare or put in bids would have agreed to said work, had it not been for the said wrong and fraudulent acts of the defendants.

That said contracting board, on said December 'Jth, 1-ttiS, ojened and canvassed all tiie bids so put in, as aforesaid, and being ignorant ot said fiaad and the Bid designed mu'ilation of said bids, and of the fraudulent withholding of said other bids, and of all the said fraudulent acts of the defendant did, on said day, award the contract for said repairs of section one of the Erie canal, and for said dredging of said Albany basin, to the defendant Stevens, under his said bid for five years troni January 1st, 17, at the sum ot 70, Uo per acntiro. and at the sum of seventy cents per cubic ard for dredging said Albauj ba-in.

And the plaintiffs said that the said action of the defendants in inducing certain person who, as aforesaid, had intended to bid, to omit and fad to do so, was done in pursuance oi earn ana conspiracy, and with the intent to deceive and defraud the plain tiffs by depriving them of the benefit of a fair ard honest competition tn the pre muse a That, Iff aaid acta of Out defendants, the plaintiff vert itutweH to enter into said contract vith aaid Stephens.

That each and ererg one of the defentlants has eitlter id moneij to iwocure tfte aforesaid mtrmrenunoit and mutilation of said bids, or ha received Vie monrff an paid to procure wtd tipprevton onrf mutilatioti. or ha ahared in the'moneu an paid by the plaintiffs vmler aaid contract of xeren, knowing that it tea oofatned by frr.ud aa aforesaid.

Our candidates are now all in the field. We mttrt make sure that all of them are elected. FOLLOWIMj IN THE lOOT-STEPS." The history of the operations of the Tammany Democracy ia this state is well known. Tammany, having its headquarters in New York city, dictated men and meas ures to the Democratic party of the state For years the notorious Tweed was the grand dictator. Ke ruled Tammany and Tammany ruled the party.

He took mil lions of money belonging to the people, and was the boldest and next unblushing of thieves. Republicans pointed out the facts, dencmccd the thieving and the thief tn juct and merited terms, and still for a long time the Democratic organs shiclced and defended him, or were as silent as the After the facts of his robberies wereknowu to everybody, as well before as since the dozen or more indictments against him were found, he came to Rochester and dictated men and measures to the state convection of the held and very soon thereafter was nominated and elected a member of the state senate. Ere long, it is true, the people all over the state, Democrats, as well as others, were compelled to acknowledge the truth of what Republicans had for years asserted. So well was this known ami believed that Tweed did cot dare to take his seat in the senate. The odium resting upon him was so great he would not go down to Allwiny and face those who but a few months before threw their caps high in air at the approach of the Boks," and were anxious to obey his slightest wish.

Tweed's political influence has passed and gone he has too many indictments hanging over him to be servica-blc in other matters. There is still Tammany rins; controlled by another dictator, and there is also a canal ring in this state. The doings of this body have lxen in part exposed, buits have been commenced by the attorney -general of the state to recover back some of the money this ring has wrongfully obtained. All know the frauds that have been committed by it, and yet the head of the ring, the dictator, the ''head-center ts now, as was the Tammany leader two years ago, nominated for the state senate. Will the people elect this If by any possibility he should be elected and follow the example of the once great Tweed stay at home and leave the people unrepresented would they be satisfied Possibly the followers of young Tommany hereabouts, and the mem hers of the ring, would feel satisfied, if their objects could be obtained otherwise, to have their senator follow in the foot-steps of Tweed, and remain away from Albany.

But the people do not want such a senator, or a stay-at-home senator. -Tweed was nominated to get a vindication by the people. His district obediently elected him, but they did not give him such a "clean bill of health that he dare venture to go to AlbaDy. The vindication went for nothing with hoDest people of all parties. There are many canal lettings, which the attorney-general of the state and others think, look bad, and an election would not wipe out the stain.

The letting Mr. Lord stay at home, for want of votes to give him a seat in Albany, will look better. The people should vote right, and not be guilty of following in the foot -steps of the voters of the Tweed district. HAS THE WATER COMMISSION VIOLATED THE LAW! We are accused of slandering the water commissioners, in charging them with gross violation of the law under which they are bound to act. We shall answer by facts.

The commissioners having entered the city clerk's office at night and, by obtaining the city seal, stamped bonds in the sum of fiCO.OOO, took them to New York and placed them in the hands of brokers there, who were also allowed to retain the proceeds of the sale to a large amount and at a low rate of interest. the law says we tjuote from chapter 754, laws of 1973 all bonds of the city of rochester made to provide means for the construction of waterworks SHALL REMAIN IN THE CUSTODY OF, AND BE SOLD OR NEGOTIATED BY THE TREASURER OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER, AND ALL MONEYS RESULTING FROM THE SALE THEREOF SHALL REMAIN IN THE CUSTODY OF SAID TREASURER. The same section provides that the city treasurer shall be paid $300 per year in full for the duties thus imposed upon him and as a guarantee that the bonds shall be safe in the hands of the treasurer, who is alone empowered to hold and negotiate them, the law says that he "sliall execute bonds in the "penal sum of 50,000 for the faithful per-" formance of his duty as eusttni-nn of the "water fund." Is comment necessary? But to another charge. We accused the of violating the la by allowing their brokers one per cent, and all necessary expense" for negotiating the bonds; in other wordi the bonds were in effect sold below the sum on their face, letting aside the fact that the city treasurer, as the only legal custodian of the bond and as the person entrusted with their sale, allowed $500 year for the work and that the commissioners have no right to pay any other person or persons a dollar for such custody and sale setting aside all this, the commissioners have violated another section of the law by their action in this negotiation. The statute reads as follows laws of 1873, chapter 37 When the plan adopted by said commissioners shall be approved by the mayor of said city, then said commissioners shall proeead witn their for providing said cay with and ahali have power I borrow from time to time upon the credit of said city ao amount not exceeding the amount named In their entiuiates of tba cost of said works upon terms cf credit out exceeding thirty years, and at a rate ot interest not exceeding seven percent, per annum; and to secure said loan toe said oocacnisaoners are antborued to make, execute and SELL AT NOT LEjvS THAN FAR, from time to time aa may be necessary, bond, certificates or written obligations which should le signed bv the mar-or and the members of tne txMtrd of water cotuuius'onem.

Are not our charges proved beyond a shadow of doubt i We boldly declare that the hue of water-works bonds, as far as made, is illegal We repeat that the members of the commission have laid themselves open to indictment before the court. We challenge any man to reconcile, their action with the plain provisions of the law under wLich thev hold office. CLRUENT TOPICS.

Stock Hot on Hand, will Order oa Short JTjtioe 105 Now Main Street, mocuKnn. at. Gebald Massxt delivered his lecture, "Why doesn'tOod kill the Devil in New York, Sunday evening. Having proved the devil to be a myth, wa are told, he proceeded to show that the only evil spirit now is one created by men themselves, and that spiritualism throws the most light upon that subject. We quote from a report in the Tribune The devil acquired his name from ths Egyptians, aiid ha his worshipers.

The old Frcrch represented a good devil. The good devil wan ht because tbeologists have al-ways done their worst to vihit'y preceding religions. Here, as elsewhere, certain natural facts were first symbols of goodness, and afterward chanyed tnto things of horror, sod gave birth to bell. In the book of Job, which is held to be an Arabian wore, Sataa is one of tbe sons of God, ani goes forth to be the tempter of men. As we go further, we find a atanical influence lying behind the serpent This ia a poor and wretched devil of our Christian theology.

Imagine a spiritual being who would seem to be created by God expressly to torment humanity The dex il of our most ancient traditions, in xxhich nature in her darkest moods waa personified and portrayed, was pretty much plajed out until it wasrevivedby the theology of Lother and Calvin. The devil of the middle ages is poor enough, indeed, aud bu become a grotesque image, for the poor ignorant peasant was cunning enoneh to outwit him. Jack always triumphed over the giant then, and, indeed, both devil and eiat had one origin. Our forefathers, the Norsemen, had very little respect for the devil, and thought or hell as the next best place to heaven. The Norsemen knew nought of a hell of everlasting tire.

If they had heard of it, it might have proved the more attractive place of the two. A good man once went out among them to enforce that theory, but found himself in the wrong latitude. When he had pictured the burning lake and the fire and terror of tbe place, be looked about him and was amazed at the result. Instead of seeing tears of anguish and expressions of dismay, he discovered they were blubbering in quite a different fashion. for their faces had brightened into full moons of happiness, and they sat rubbing their hands as if spiritually warming themselves at the fire which was warranted never to go out.

For the picture was a delightful change from the life they led in their inclement climate. They were ready aud willing to go to such a place at once. Mr. Massey said further on We have talked of the devil long enough. "We have a far more terrible way of realising the hereafter than any abstract idea of hell and the devil can oiler.

The real devil is aiive, working with a most infernal activity and piay ing the very devil with this world of ours. We nave been following a phantom of faitb, and the devd has been dogging us indeed. It is not a spiritual creature created for the purpose of dragging us down, butthe devil is to be realised iu his likeness to ourselves a devil bequeathed to us by the accumulated gains of selfishness. The evil shadow of self is the devil, and we have the blasphemous impudence to cast the blame of an existence of a devil like that on God! There is no doubt of his responsibility for certain natural conditions which inevitably result in much that we call evil, nor will he shirk his responsibility in that matter. We are apt to look on things at first sigbt as evil, which we finally find to be blessines in disguise.

Toe moment we recognise evil and the consciousness of its existence, the responsibility becomes ours. Here is a problem for us to solve by way of education. Here is a foe to fight to the death, no matter whether it be an individual or a nation. Here is something to be turned into good. Pain, mental or corporal, is essential to the perfecting of conditions.

It is God's reminder that there is something wrong, therefore something to be remedied. The loftiest pleasures of our spiritual life continually flower from a rootage in the pair. Pain is a passing necessity, and as the imperfect conditions pass away it follows that the pain must pass away, "The reason, then, said Mr. Massey in conclusion "why God does not kill the devO is because man has unconsciously created all that is the devil, which here and hereafter ia constantly destroying his own work.

The rote to take from them the duty that crs and laymen unke in saying has been so wt done since ISM will not he large. If the bar association in New York city had heretofore united in presenting the best men for judicial offices, good men of all partie would have followed their lead, and the. bench and bar would not have been disgraced by a Barnard and a Cordozo.

If they perniil the Tombs shysters and the ring thieves to select judicial ofiice, neither a high order cf abiiity nor integrity can be expected. In each of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth judicial districts a justice of the supreme court is to be elected this year, and there is but one candidate in each district in nomination. Admitting that there are other men in the several districts learned in the law, who would make good judges, it is conceded on all hands that no better selection could be made by any appointing power than those who have been nominated and will lie elected at the coming election. THE MLX HATE BEEN SEE W'e know exactly what we are saying, when we assert that Jarvis Lord has already had a private interview with his middlemen throughout the county. The work for election day has all been arranged.

The creatures who are to dispense the funds have received orders to report here on the night before the election to take charge of the money which will be used to carry the day. "While the honorable senator waa apparently off the track.while his name was ill wanting on the ticket, he was busy calling in his faithful mercenaries from the towns and quietly handing them their instructions for the coming contest. "While it was publicly given out that Lord would In no event accept, he was marshaling his paid followers for the battle. As in former years, money will be relied on to win the victory. Puch is the situation.

Will the honest electors of this district look on and see this man elected and by such means? Will you who hare shut your eyes to the manner in which he has risen to wealth and power, because of his frank and cordial address, still refuse to listen to the truth? Will you see the man who has obtained contracts by conspiracy and won elec tions by the use of money, once more suc cessful by the same meani? There must be an end some time or other to this corrupt use of money in elections, or we might as well abandon our Kepublican form ot government at once and for all. It leads to every species of fraud and debases our politic to a mere scramble for plun der. who are elected by money will make themselves even by direct or indirect stealing from the public treasury. You cannot trut a man in oSDce who gained his place by corruption. Then why not defeat a candidate who.as in this instance, r.jsts his case on such appliances.

There never was a belter opportunity to rebuke the corrupt use of money in a canvass than in this senatorial contest. No honest, intelligent man doubts that Jarvht Lord has, as we pociitivcly kuow, arranged the usual plan for dealing out large sums to his workers on the day of the election. This programme will be successful unlesa honest men of every shade of politics determine that no uch candidate shall have their votes. If corruption triumphs, they will have to shoulder the responsibility. It is just as well not to forget also, that every dollar used corruptly to carry an election has been taken or will ultimately be made good to the candidate who expends it out of the public treasury.

The people wiil be taxed for every cent of it. THE THINU ACCOMPLISHED. What the Democratic county convection failed to do what Bowman and the other leaders of the party failed to do what the interviewing editor of the Union could not accomplish, it seems the Democrat and Chronicle has succeeded in doing. Those who have lieen so anxious for Mr. Lord to be a candidate for senator are now gratified and will doubtless rejoice exceedingly at our success.

The united Deaiocracy could not overcome the two "paramount" reasons, the physicians' and all that. But the senator, by our efforts, according to Li own statement in his pro-nunciamento from has been brought to "concur," though he had fully determined that he would not. The candidate makes due acknowledgment, aud says: In order that it may be no longer a question with the Democrat and Chronicle, I de-sire to say that I am now a candidate L.r the of senator. We rtiail therefore now understand that Mr. Ixird is a candidate.

We did express doubts, hn most people said Mr, Lord was aud nil Id lie a candidate, lie says himself he had fully determined not to be a candidate, and as not a candidate until yesterday tiut we have changed his views and the iH-mtH-raey be thankful We shall teel ealied npon to do something for the st nutor health.
