The eorroytionists now in power must be displaced, liefore the public will be able to tell what the worst really is.

They axe in a situa tion to conceal much, and it is not to be supised that the lialf has been brought to the surface yet, although what has len already proven ought to lie enough to throw any party out of power. The people now see the character of the men they have so long entrusted with power their remaining duty is to remand them back to the obscurity of private life and elect better men in their places.

Babcock, the President's Sec-' 1 ,5 w8 that paer was money sedly retroactive for the purpose of legalizing illegal transactions. Not content with making "irregular" things "regular," it is proposed to "authorize" that for which there was no authority. A municipal corporation has no right to seize a man's lands and tenements, goods and chattels and money, but if it has done so or does so, it is to be made lawful. If this bill is passed, then the Constitution and every other law on the statute books ought to be repealed, for robbery will then be the supreme law of the land. The idea of seriously askin the Leg-islature to pass a wholesale license for robbery committed through "irregularities," or wholly without authority, would seem ridiculous were it not a wilh- retarv.

Every publisher of a periodical who extends the circulation of new sensible ideas relating to farming, is truly a public -benefactor. Everything indeed rests uion the farm. Witlwut it, manufactures, trade, art, science, and the entire commerce of mankind, as well as mankind, would soou cease. All know that; but all do not at all times suilicieutly consider it; or sufficiently regard the vastnessof our agricultural interests, and their bearing upon the general welfare.

Huntington, by their own confession were the original District King as it stood iu 1871, and their connection with the raid upon the Freedman's Bank will be shown by a few extracts we shall make from the suppressed statement of the Bank Examiner.

His personal and official relations with Mr. Fish Continued, however. The two visited personally, and bad frequent official consultations. This was daring the period when the San Domingo treaty laid on the Senate table. On the eve of the final vote on that treaty Mr.

Fish visited him at his house, and, ruring a discussion prolonged until alto midnight, sought to change his views upon the treaty, and then, all else failing, ottered to bribe him to abandon hi place in the Senate by proposing to make him Minister to England. Mr. Sumner rejected the bribe. Mr. Motley, bis friend, was removed from London because he was Sumner's friend, and, thereafter, the Secretary of State and the man who had rejected Lis bribe were not on speaking terms.

Then the Secretary of State informed the Senate caucus that the President, and the President's Private Secretary, and Mr. Fish were not on speaking terms with the Senator, and the dutiful and obedient caucus, well knowing that the alleged excuse was the result of the senator's opposition to San Domingo, dismissed Mr. Sumner from the head of the Committee, and appointed Mr. Cameron in his place. Now, with these facta made public, Mr.

Hamlin and Mr. Howe declare he was not degraded because of his opposition to the San Domingo measure, but for the reason that the President and Secretary of State were not on speaking terms with him. It is fortunate that Mr. Sumner left behind him an explanation why he was not on speaking terms with Messrs. Grant, Babcock, and Fish.
