CRITICISM.
Hom:! is rouncs.
The right to criticise, is one of the
mot highly prized privileges of our
American freedom. It is one too,
whiib. we do not hesitate to improve,
and which is sometimes carried much
bajond the limits of absolute justice.
Politics, is particularly productive of
criticisms of all kinds, and in every de
gree. It is here, especially, that crit
icism too sften loses its real character
and degenerates into personal abuse.
The real purpose of all proper criti
cism is, to induce improvement. To
point out the errors of men, and the
weakness or inefficiency of measures, is
to assist in correcting and improving
them. The friction of opposing opin
ion! which finds' expression in mutual
adverse criticism sharpens, the intellect
and improves the methods c' the age.
This is essentially an age 01 conflicting
ideas. Every current event of importance
hpublished in hundreds of papers, com
mented on by as many editors, and sent
abroad to be read and discussed by
thousands of subscribers. These pa
pers are ready to publish the opinions
of any one who has an opinion upon
public matters, and can command lan
guage to express it. So it comes about,
that every 3iao who aspires to posi
tion of public trust, and every measure
proposed for the government of the
people is, sooner or later, submitted to
a Tery searching investigation. These
criticisms are sometimes pointed with
personal malice, and frequently tinc
tured with political hatred. But gen
erally the true steel is found equal
to the test. A man who can
aot withstand the pressure of honest
adverse criticism and, by inherent
force, repel unjust and malicious at
tacks is, usually, not the man to assist
ra leading a mighty people. But there
is one element of wrong and injustice,
Which is especially practiced in political
discussions. It is that of withholding
criticism until the time for its applica
tion is past. A measure is proposed
political assembly, composed, let
ay, of a majority of Democrats.
measure concerns the whole peo-
Land is defective and faulty. It is
business of the Republican press, to
ish their objections to it, before it
Ipted, to the end that it may be
iand improved. It is too often
Uhe caseMhat no objection is made un
til the measure is finally adopted, and
then th objections are showered upon
it, heated with all the hatred of politi
cal animus. This is what is called one
kind of campaign capital, and is looked
upon by many party leaders, as shrewd
political management. Let tho other
side dig a grave, and then push it into
it. That may be what is known as
practical politics, but it is not patriot
ism, livery public measure- should be
fully and freely discussed before it is
adopted. It is not the business of
parties or party leaders to make politi
cal capital, but to contribute to the ex
tent of their abilities to the better gov
ernment of a common country. Here
tofore, it has been the policy of the
Democratic press and politicians, to re
frain from tho discussion of a measure
proposed by tho Republicans, until after
the measure had been adopted and
could not be corrected. If a law was
enacted by Republicans no, substantial
objection would bo made until the law
had been passed and then, what should
have been adverse criticism was turned
into abuse. It is to bo hoped that the
Republicans will lift themselves suffi
ciently above that narrow party selfish
ness, to pursue the welfare and good
government of the country, even at tho
expense of a sacrifice of campaign cap
ital. And we believo tbey will We
believe in the days of a partial Demo
cratic supremacy soon to-come, Repub
licans will be.fonnd-uniti:
in every measure which promises the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and openly,, and fully discussing every
method aad measure without reference
to campaign capital or mere party success.
During the late campaign, Demo
crats were, on all hands, loudly de
nouncing the collection of money from
government employees by Republican
managers. According to the most
moderate of them, a great many hund
reds of thousands of dollars had been
thus collected; -voile the estimate of
the average Democratic editor reached
into the millions. Of course, by far
the greater part of this was campaign
capital. The fact of these collections
was condemned by a large class of Re
publican journals. They had no hope
of making campaign capital out of it,
but they recognized it as a wrong that
ought to be righted and accordingly op
posed it. Now that the election is
over, and the result announced, it is
evident that the danger of the congres
sional committee was greatly exoger
ated. It is plain, that no such sums of
money were received by this committee
as the Democratic orators and editors
had assurrd us. This whole system
ilitical assessments itv radically
ft should bcrfuoTed out; but
such absurd exonerations, as to the
extent of its operation, as was heralded
forth from every Democratic stump
and press serves rather to contribute to
its continuance than assist in abolish
ing it. But what money was received
and disbursed by this committee seems
to have done nothing toward accom
plishing the ends for which it was ex
pended. It was, no doubt, used in
organizing campaign clubs, arranging
political displays, paying the expenses
of political speakers, distributing docu
ments and such other expenses as are,
under the present political arrange
ment, considered essential to party suc
cess. The result jubtiGes the conclu
sion that none of it was appropriated
to the corruption of voters. It by no
means follows,, that the men who man
aged the fund were prevented by an'
compunctions of conscience from thus
using it, but it indicates that the value
of money as a factor in the solution
of political problems has been very
much overrated. . There is no doubt
that money is sometimes corrupt!' em
ployed to" assist in carying elections;
but the idea that a great party can buy
a political victory is an insult to the
patriotism and intelligence of the
American people.
o
General Chalmers, candidate for
Congress from North Carolina, has
been denied a certificate of election.
Thurlow Weed died last week at
his residence in'New York in the 86th
year of his age. Mr. Weed, was at the
time of his death, one of the oldest, and
in his time had been, one of the
greatest journalists -this country has
produced. He did as much as any
one man, to mould the form, and shape
the course, of the Republican party, in
the dark days of its birth and early
existence. He was a political leader
in fact, as well as in name, and was iu
every way worthy to accupy that posi
tion. He lead, not by accident or the
favor of the machine, but because he
was best able to lead. Though fore
most in many bitter political conflicts,
and has given and received many very
hard blows, yet no one ever questioned
his motives, or doubted his sincerity.
Ho died ata good old ago, full of years,
and rich in the consciousness of having
done much good in his day and gen
eration and respected, honored and be
loved by all.
The report of the commissioner of
K(T general ?iand office showsMLj''
during the year ending June 30th IboJ
the land occupied by nctunl settlers
under the homestead laws and those
sold for cash aggregated the enormous
amount of 15,700,000 acres. Last year
tho land thus taken amounted to but
10,760,000. This increase of nearly
5,000,000 acres very frocibly il
lustrates the fact that people are be
coming more and more discontented
with the doubt and uncertainty of
employment which depends upou
the interests of employers and are seek
ing free and independent homes in
what was once the far west. During the
year to which this report refers our for
eign emigration was unusually
large but it has fallen far short of
keeping pace with the increased occu
pation of farming lands. At this rate
tho time is not a great way in the fu
ture when there will be no more free
homes west of the Rockies.

He was 6rst reported elected by a
J?enle;jPrb!e u)?iorilyj4mLtb&.JJoird of
canvassers found the vote of ono pre
cinct had been given for Chambles in
stead of Chalmers. This, it is claimed,
is an error; as the vote was intended
for him and would have elected him
by a handsome majority Chalmers
proposes to contest the election on this
ground; but, in tho meane time, his op
ponent holds the certificate. This
General Chalmers, is the man
who murdered G50 union soldiers
at Fort Pillow on the 11th of
April 1864. It was a cold blooded,
deliberate murder, and could not
have mado him more infamous or
odious if he had cut the throats of the
650 victims with his own sword. No
such man should ever be honored with
any office in this government no matter
in what political cloak he may for the
timo be masking. The innocent blood
he hasso wrongly shed should damn him
forever. The telegram which lie-recently
sent to Gen Butler is an insult to tho
memory of tho men whom he murdered
and to tnose Americans who yet ten
derly cherished a sentiment of sacred
sorrows for the heroes who died for

It is repotted that 145,000 in con
federate bonds was rerently sold at
auction for 812.50 per thousand.
These sales of confederate bonds have
always been a matter of wonder. No
ono can imagine of what possible use
they can be, -except as mementoes of a
dead caube which conferred dishonor
upon its advocates and distress upon
the country. For fear that some
Democratic politician might magnify
this item into that frightful
garment which so haunts their

that the above -sale occurred before the

Governor Moody has appointed
Julius A. Stratton, Superintendent of
the Oregon Penitentiary vice Hon. A.
Bash, -resigned. The appointment is
highly commended by those' who are
acquainted with the new officer. This
is responsible office and one which it
is not easy to fill; but the Governor
seems-to have been especially fortunate
ha-this appointment.
President Arthur has removed from
their several offices, District Marshal

Ainger and his assistant 31. 31. Parker,
H. D. Helm foreman of the congress
ional Record and George Spencer one
of the commissioners of the Union Pa-
3ic-greund that-they-
interfered with tho administra
tion of justice in the star route cases.
Their removal should have been made
long ago. It is a notorious fact that
these gentlemen have been using every
means in their power to prevent tho
conviction of the principle star route
defendents. The President has done
one grod act at least and let us hope
that this is but a fore runner of better
limes at the White House. If defeat
is the stepping stone to success our
President has been provided with the
means of making an immense success
of the remainder of his term.
' Tie labor Congress which has, for
several days, .been in- session at Cleveland-has
framed an -act to make em

of all the States and the influence of
the labor-league is pledged to wcrk for
its pasrage. Indiana now has a law
similar to this, -
Upon the passage of the river and
harbor bill a much larger percentage
of Democratic members Mipported it
than itepublicans, Ihis fact was
pointed out by the Republican press it
tho time, but the Democratic editors
have uever ceased abusing the Repub
licans for passing the bill and insisting
that it is a political issue. The late
elections in tho southern states show
that a majority of the members of that
section who favored the bill have been
returned to their teats in Congress.
