CORRUPTIOS IS POLITICS Tlio Newbury port Herald say# “there is a class of people to whom the past looks so glorious that they cannot see the present as it is, that shut their eyes and only see through the medium of imagination. Io them men are smaller in stature, weaker in ihttseular strength and more feeble in intellect than they were formerly. And as this class has always existed from the earliest time when there are any records of uutukiiid. if we were to believe every successive generation in their praise of the preceding, we should have the prospect, in a lew years of dwindling in si/e and in telligence, till we become the prey of small birds and mice, and of becoming so contemptible in morals that the universe will ne wen rui ot sucn wort mess pigmies. The charge that public men are corrupt, may be true of many of them, but that they are more corrupt than formerly, needs something more than mere assertion for proof. There were other leaders of the patriots in the Revolution, besides Benedict Arnold, who were strongly sus pected of treachery, and the characters of some of them are not clear even now and as long ago as the beginning of the Chris tian era, there vms one of the apostles whose corruption was so poorly concealed that ho was detected a» a thief. There have always been bad and corrupt men in every government, every organization, every class of men, and the newspapers opposed to the government sixty years ago were a great deal more bitter against the public men of that 'day, whom all parties now honor as patriots and states men, than the opposition papers now are against the party in power of to-day. The faet is that men are pretty much the same now that they were a hundred years ago, and our children will very probably point to the great statesmen of to-day as models, and mourn the degen eracy of their own times, when small and dishonest men hold offices in integrity as much beneath the patriots of the days im mediately succeding the great rebellion as they are in ability. There are different standards of political morality at different times, but it is not so much from the faet that men differ as it is that their circum stances and the temptations to dishonesty are not the same. A hundred years ago in England there was a barter and sale of public offices and of votes in Parliament, that would not be tolerated for a moment at the present time. Not that men were worse then in that country than now, but the laws were such as to offer a premium to corruption and every discouragement to integrity. This is the real danger—in the laws reg ulating appointments to civil offices. If these are iuchnsto offer a continual temp tation to make the appointments for per sonal and temporary reasons; if the prin ciple is to continue, that I will appoint you if you will support me, or I will give ray influence for your friend if you will ad vocate jny measure, than we shall have ever increasing temptations to corruption, continual changes in the civil service to the detriment of the public, and a continu. al inercase of the difficulty in returning to an honest and pure administration of af fairs. Mr. Jenekes' Civil Service bill is aimed at just this danger; and eveiy where out of Congress is hailed as promising a reformation in politics that will purify it vary greatly. Nor in Congress is there any very active opposition. The bill is too much in accordance with the wishes of the people of all parlies for that; but it meets with ail exceedingly cool and Laodicean reception. It sceme to have few enemies and still fewer friends, and to save it from a very quiet and obscure death Mr. .leuokes has it recommitted, to await a happy resurrection at some more auspicious time, when the will of the peo ple in the matter shall lie so clearly an nounced that it cannot safely be disobeyed. With such a law there would be no dan ger of corruption in politics, unless the entire people should become corrupted, which docs not seem probable. The average American is a better man to-day than he was fifty years ago; and there is no reason to expect that this progress shall be reversed in the future.” At many places in Loudon county, Vir ginia, lust week, the officers of election refused to accept ballots unless they bore the number and name of the party voting. By this course it is said many persons, especially colored men, were prevented from voting. The same tiling was also done in other counties. The taking ot tin- census cnimneueed yesterday. If inquisitive gentlemen are noticed to lie around asking questions and taking notes it will not create unpleasant suspicions of tlieir character. Uncle Sam's agents are requested to take an account of stock once iu ten years, to sec how the old gentleman’s affairs|stand. The consolidation of the Portland and Kennebec and Maine Central railroads has been sanctioned by the stockholders of both roads and is now a lued fact. The small opposition manifested will not avail any thing against the measure adopted, Imt will probably test the legality of the action, to which there is no objection. There is so much indignation among the hard shell democracy over the scheme of the donkey democracy to sell the party to the highest bidder, dial it will probably have to he abandoned. Those who stick to .Jeff Davis through thick and thin don’t fed like yielding to the soft shells and pol icy men just yet. Their colors are nailed to the mast. THE SAGUENAY RIVER. The Quebec Chronicle of the 27lh gives the following account of the great fire which has been raging on the Saguenay River: On the afternoon of the !9th inst., a tre mendous conflagration was reported along the Saguenay Kiver. From Mistnssinie to St. Alphonse the greatest part of the habitations are destroyed by fire and over 5,000 persons are without shelter and deprived of every thing. Six lives were lost. The total num her of families who are destitute is 655. The fire covered an nrea of about five miles wide by thirty-six in length, and extended from bake St. John to Chicoutimi. All the build ings were destroyed by fire between 2 o clock in the afternoon and 9 o'clock in the evening of the same day. We learn, through Mr. Tremblay, M. P., for Chicoutimi, who has just returned from the burned district, that the fire in its ravages swept everything before it, and has left the number of families above quoted in absolute poverty anil ruin. The fire travelled in a circuitous direction, covering over 1,500 miles in supcrfices, and 100 miles from one extreme point to the other. This irregular course, it is supposed, is at- trihutable to the wind, which changed three or four times* while the fire was going on. I The poor people wlio were so driven from their happy and comfortable j homes had to seek shelter in the swamps and underground places, as every building stand- ing within the march of the fire was leveled to the ground. Some of the sufferings yhich the j poor inhabitants have had to endure are pain ful to contemplate. One poor woman who had just passed through the pains of child birth hut a few hours before the fire had reached her domicile, was removed, with the new horn infant, by the husband to a swamp, where shc^assed the night alone, as the hus band had returned to the house to save some of his wearing apparel, hut found in the mean time that the fire had cut off the communica tion with the swamp where his wife sought shelter. Another man, finding escape impos sible, jumped into his well, where he passed the whole night and part of the following day, while the fire swept over his head. Even here the heat at times become so intense that he was compelled occasionally to slip below the surface of the water to avoid being scorched. A number of families sought shel ter on the lake shore, hut were compelled to wade into it over the waist, as the fire infits ravages had burnt up everything down to the very edge of the water. The origin of this lire is attributable to the stupidity of certain farmers who had set fire to the woods in different places to make clear ances and burn up the underbrush. Had these people only thought seriously of the re sult which might follow their rash act they would not have set fire to the woods, when they know, after the dry season through which we have just passed, that the trees would he like so much punk. It is not only the great dan ger the people residing in isolated districts incur by setting the fire, hut as the member for Gaspe pointed out at the last session of the Local Parliament, the whole country suffers through this reckless destruction of our for ests. A law was passed to prevent the setting fire to the woods during certain seasons; hut this law, like a great many others, will be either allowed to remain in abeyance or be altogether disregarded. PAPAL INFALLIBILITY. The schema of the dogma of Papal in fallibility, which is now occupying the at tention of the Ecumenical Council, has been printed and is as follows. 1. If any one should say that the episcopal chair of the Roman Church is not the true and real infallible chair of Blessed Peter, or that it has not been divinely chosen by God as the most solid, indefectible, and incorruptible rock of the whole Christian Church, let him be anathema. If any«»ne should say that there exists in the world another infallible chair of the truth of the gospel of Christ our Lord distinct and separate from the chair of blessed Peter, let him be anathema. 3. If any one should deny that the divine magitterium of the chair of blessed Peter is necessary to the true way of eternal salvation for all men, whether unfaitful or faithful, whether layman or bishops, let him he anath ema. 4. If any one should say that each Roman Pontiff, legitimately elected, is not by divine right the successor of blessed Peter, even in the gift of the infallibility of magitterium, and should deny to any one of them the pre rogative of infallibility tor teaching the church the word of God pure from all corruption and error, let him he anathema. 5. If any one should say that general coun cils are established by God in the church as a power of feeding the divine flock in the word ol faith superior to the Roman Pontiff, or equal to him, or necessary by divine institu tion in order that the magitterium of the Roman Bishop should be preserved infallible, let him be anathema. WASHINGTON NEWS. Mr. Lynch's hill has been defeated. As amended the vote upon it was CO in favor to 10‘J against. That ends it for this session. Senator Chandler has a bill upon navigation interests. Wolcott Hamlin, now Engrossing Clerk of tbc Senate, is to be Supervisor of Internal Revenue for Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and W. A. Simonds of Boston is to be Supervisor for Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Guerrilla Mosby' is at Warrenton, Va., somewhat disgusted at the account of his or ganising Fenian cavalry on the border. A telegram from Charleston, S. C., to the Washington News Bureau of the Boston Journal says: “The election in the First District will tuke place on Tuesday, the 31st, and Mr. Whittewore will he re-elected by a large majority.” The House Committee on the District ot Columbia have agreed to report a hill declar ing Christmas, New Year’s Day, July Fourth and Thanksgiving Day, as appointed by the President, national holidays thrmurlwmt it... country. The President has signed the bill to enforce the rights of citizens to vote under the 15th amendment. The Fenian question has been discussed in Cabinet meeting. It was resolved to main tain the same line of policy that has been pur sued since the outbreak of the troubles, and to prosecute vigorously those of the Fenian leaders who were captured hy the United States Marshals while in open violation of the neutrality laws. At the republican legislative caucus in Providence, K. I., Henry B. Anthony was re nominated for United Slates Senator, receiv i mg sixtv-lour out of seventy-four votes cast j on an informal ballot. His nomination was made unanimous. On the docket of the S. J. Court in York county apjiear the names of Win. Shakspeare and Walter Scott as parties to actions, and, Strange to say, Francis Bacon is counsel in j both cases, The Independent asks “can the j dockets of the civilized world parallel this I singular coincidence I general news. The Turkish government lias gone into the ob printing business, and runs sixteen steam presses. One of the editors of thg Detroit Free Press, the leading IJemoeratie Journal of Michigan, is a colored man. The Boston and Maine Railroad Company has decided to build a double track from North Andover to Haverhill. Gen. Sylvanus Thayer has promised to give the town of Braintree, Mass., $10,000 fora public library, if the citizens will appropri ate an equal amount. Michael Howard, the first colored cadet at West Point, arrived there on Tuesday. He is from Mississippi, and is of purely African descent. He was received rather coldly by the cadets, but persevered, and gave promise of being able to fight it out on his own line. In Providence, the other day, a man refus ed to pay his three weeks’ bride’s fine for drunkenness. He said she was ‘‘a pretty fair sort of a woman,” but he was afraid of estab lishing a had precedent; so she went to jail. Russia, which hitherto has been in the hab it of buying her artillery abroad, particular ly at the German works of lirupp, at Essen, i is now in possession ot a factory for war ma terial at Perm, in no way inferior to those of other nations. The Chinese companies of San Francisco have decided to discourage the emigration of their countrymen to California, and have drawn up a circular to that effect, to be post ed in all the principal towns and cities of the Celestial empire. The white miners at Bannock. Montana, have organized for the purpose of driving the Chinamen from the mines. They fear that cheap labor will take the place of the five and six dollars a day labor of former years. A number of capitalists in >cw iors pro pose to builil a bridge from Ellis’ Island, in the harbor of that city, to Staten Island. This bridge, the construction of which is deemed practicable by competent engineers, would shorten the time between New York and Philadelphia some half hour. Snake stories are now in season. The Hates County Democrat says a young man near Butler, Mo., came across a rattlesnake, which he cut in three pieces with a grubbing hoe. and afterward was badly bitten by one of the pieces. It is said that the* defeated Democratic can didate for Governor of Iowa at the last elec tion lias recently lost $50,000 in pork specula tions, and is half inclined to believe that mis fortunes never come single. The French claim the honor of having con structed the first locomotive. It was made by one Crugnot in ITtiO. the same eventful ji>ar which was the birth of Napoleon I., Wellington, Humboldt, and several other cel ebrated characters. This f^rst engine is still reserved in the Conservatoire des Aris ct Me teirs at Paris. Among the Sunday school children of a certain church was a poor little fellow. He could not tell the number of the house in which lie lived, and was charged when lie next came to school to bring it. The next time he appeared he was asked if he had brought the number. “No sir,” said he, “it was nail ed on the door so tight that 1 could not get it off.” Houston papers describe a factory where beeves are killed, the meat roasted, and then packed for shipment! Here is what is said about the oven where the roastiug is done: The oven will bold eight or ten steers at a time, and will roast twenty a day. The build ings are calculated for one hundred beeves a day, and space has been left for more ovens like the one constructed. It is intended to increase the business as fast as a market can be created for the meat. On the premises purchased there are sites just as convenient as this one, for nine more establishments of the same size, and the business will be in creased as fast as a market can be found for the roast beef, up to one thousand cattle a ddy, or any number that can be sold, up to that amount. Z3omrstic isru)0. The Journal says that James M. Andrews, of Biddcford, has closed his quarries for the present, and is using the tools, derricks, en gines, &e., in the construction of a sea-wall at Galloups Island, Boston Harbor. This work has thus far occupied three years, and it will take another year to finish it. The stone for this work has been and is quarried in Bid deford, by James M. Andrews, A. G. Good win, Gooch Haines, and Charles Bragdon, and sent to the island in the steamer “Enter prise.” Mr. Andrews has several contracts for granite supplies for government only. The Warren Manufacturing Company's Woolen mill iu Warren, is owned by a joint stock company, with a capital of $75,000, and Albert Johnson, of the firm of Johnson, Full er Co., is President. The stock is pretty well distributed among the operatives in the factory and the farmers in the vicinity, and the concern has, therefore, many interested friends. The mill gives employment to some fifty persons of hotli sexes, uses up about 2100 lbs. of wool per week, and manufactures over $100,000 worth of flannel a year. We learn from the Independent tlmt the an nual meeting of the York County Five Cents Saving Institution was held Wednesday, May 11th. The following gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year: John M. Good win President; Thomas II. Cole, Vice Presi dent; E. II. Hanks, William Hill. E. H. C. Hooper, Horace Ford. Abel II. Jellerson, F. A. Day, Marshall Pierce and James Saw yer, Trustees. 11. II. Ingersoll, Secretary and Treasurer. The bank pays a dividend of 7 per cent. The Press says that a Portland firm had a load of lumber arrive in that city by the Grand Trunk Railroad, and amongst the piles of bonrds it was found that some birds bad built their nests. It is probable that after the car was loaded it had been switched on to a side track to await an opportunity to forward it, and the birds took advantage of this cir cumstance to build their nest there. The nest had three yggs in it. A correspondent writes the Lewiston Jour nal that one of the workmen on the founda tion of Hutching’s and Lane’s mills in Jay, turned up two hatchets of very ancient ap pearance, last week. They are very much eaten by rust. They had loops to insert the handle instead of eyes with heads, y Clapp North. From the Harpers we have a “Memoir of the Rev. John Seudder, M. I)., thirty-six years missionary in India,” by Rev. J. B. Water bury. This is a sketch of a man, who actuated by the most unselfish and highest motives, spent the best years of his life among tlie heathen, in efforts to teach them the prin ciples of Christianity. Such a life deserves to he perpetuated in history as an example of devotion to the Master. In the course of his labors among the people with whom he asso ciated there were volumes of incidents of the most interesting character, some of which are here related. For sale hv Clapp North. Harper Brothers swell their Library of Select Novels by the addition of two more volumes. One is “Bafflcld; or Michael Brand's Wrfing,” by Julia Goddard, price 75 cents: the other is “Beneath the Wheels,” a romance by a popular author, price 50 cents. Clapp North have them for sale. A new volume for the thoughtful lovers of religious and philosophical discussion is one just published by Harper and Brothers. It is entitled “Christianity and Greek Philosophy; or the Relation between Spontaneous and Re flective Thought in Greece and the positive teaching of Christ and his Apostles.” Its au thor is Professor B. F. Cocker of the Uni versity of Michigan. He holds that the prev alent method of treating the history of human thought as a series of isolated, disconnected, and lawless movements, without unity and purpose, and the prac tice of denouncing the religions and philosophies of the ancient world as inventors of satanic mischief, has been prejudicial to the interests of all truth and es pecially injurious to the cause of Christianity. Christianity as a comprehensive scheme of reconciliation, embracing “all things” cannot be properly studied apart from the ages of earnest thought which preceded it. ami upon them, the author has prepared his work, which will he studied with interest liy students of theology and philosophy. Clapp North have it for sale. The Canadian papers are not generally very complimentary to this government in the matter of the Fenian raid. Suppose we had given them a small measure of the Alabama kind of policy meted out to us by Great Britain, would it have pleased them any beter than what they got?

Editor Commoplite I desire, ns an unsolicited tribute to the merits of HelmboM’s Biichu, and for the benefit of those similarly afflicted as myself, to say that after consulting many eminent physicians, and trying nearly all the best, advertised remedies, in the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated kidney aud bladder diseases, ft-ora which I have suffered excessively for many years, good fortune finally suggested to me lleluibold’s Hurhu, which I 1 commenced using with little faith, and no apparent 1 beneficial results for about a month. At the expir ation of that time, however, 1 thought l commenced to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to persevere m its use, and now, at the expiration of four mouths, although I am an infirm old man, nearly 78 years of age, and consequently medicines cannot be expected to favorably affect me as they otherwise would, 1 have found such unspeakable relief and permanent benefit from Mr. Helmbold’s valuable discovery, that I feel 1 ought to publicly record the fact, as’ an acknowledgement to him and a valuable suggestion to the public.

I»h. llEi.Mnoi.n—Dear Sir: It is with much pleasure that 1 write you upon facts respecting my self. 1 do not know hardly how to express myself. 1 have been for tlie last ten or twelve years the greatest sufferer man could he and live; but more sometimes than others. The complaint was the “Kidneys” and “Bladder.” I have l>een sometimes from twelve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make water every minute, but could not. Have consult ed doctors,’both in Massachusetts and this Suite, and taken (dlls, I may say, by the cpiart, also liq uored medicines, but found no relief from anv, and got worse the last six months. 1 was so that I could scarcely get about. 1 could not rest night or day. It would soon have been “all up” with me if I had not seen your advertisement in “The Berkshire Courier” headed "Kidneys.” I read it through and thought I would try it. 1 purchased a bottle, but, mind you, bad not much faith in it. Why should I, when I had been trying so many things and cost mi* so much? Well, I Wgan taking it. and before 1 had taken the first bottle I felt bad; but 1 finished it and got another. By the time I took half of tiie second 1 still got worse (apparently). When I walked it seemed as if my right kidney was falling from its place, and 1 felt really bad. 1 felt so, before I had liuii-hed the second, that 1 had made up my mind it was of no use trying any more—and all this time the “Buchu” was doing its work, but 1 did not know it; so 1 gave it up and went to Hartford on Saturday to see one of the best doctors in the city. He said it was the neck of the bladder, and 1 should have to undergo an operation. He gave ine med icine, and 1 went home quite downhearted. n Sunday I was unable to go to church. 1 had uot taken any of his medicine, but on my return contin ued using the “Buchu,” and in the ufternoon I had a desire to make water, but could not. About one hour utter this 1 tried again, with the same result; but the next time 1 took the vessel it was the same turning a faucet and stopping it off again. It win bo for three times, and the third time there was something came through the passage and struck against the side of the vessel. 1 examined it, and it i» the ugliest stone or gravel you ever saw, cov ered over with little peices which collcted together. It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is am brfrd as a flint. Ho you see the “Buchu” was doing its work although I was feeling so badly. I procured an other bottle thinking their might be some more be h™* but aince that has passed, which is eight weeks ago last Sunday, 1 have been as well as ever 1 was iu my life. 1 have the stone securely wrapped and those who have seen it ie this place are sur prised. 1 cannot tell you ail, but this is a true story °f n,v vase, and you are welcome to make unci) use r.

Hkludold—Deak 8ir: In regard to the question asked ine as to my opinion about Bu elm, 1 would say I have used and sold the article in various forms for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have net used, or known to be used, in the various diseases where such medicate agent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of tho bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts. I have seen and used, as before stated, every form of Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex tracts—and I am not congnixant of any preparation of that plant at all equalto yours. Twelve years’ experience ought, I think, to give me the right to judge of its merits; and, without prejudice or par tiality, I give yours precedence over all others. I value your Buchu for its effects on patients. 1 have cured with it, and seen cur%il with it, more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cured with any other Buchu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name. Respect fully yours, Ac., GKO. II. KKYSER, M. August 11, 1865. 140 Wood-st., Pittsburg, Penn, j A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS’ STANDING.

I consulted my family physican in regard to using your Eqtractjfuchu. 1 did this because I had used a'l kinds of adver- Used remedies and had found them worthless, and gome quite injurious; in fact. I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to nse your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad vice, after an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. I commenced to use it about eight months ago, at w hich time I vas confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement of my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only he temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it wophl effect a perfect cure, knowing that it would l»e of I greater value to you and more satisfactory- to me. 1 itlll IU'H U»IC W UIOV wiv if uv »VM, after using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and led as well in all respects as 1 ever did.

The first number of the Daily Kennebec Jour nal was issued from the Journal office on Satur day. It is about the size and style of arrangement as the usual Daily Legislative Journal, and in ty pographical appearance will compare favorably, we think, with the other Maine dailies. It is de signed by the publishers to issue it daily through the year, but we fear they will find their enterprise which ought to be a paying one, considering the field it w ill occupy, to prove a losing one. It costs a deal of money to publish a paper these times, and a large, prompt paying subscription list ami a good ly amount of advertising patronage at respectable rates, are necessary to make a paper self-sustain ing. and prevent its being a source of emharass incut to its proprietors.
