political warfare often becomes in this country. and
how calumny and SANDER are resored to when better

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

WAsHfNGTON, May II. 1880.
The resolation offered by Mr.. Carson calling for
epqury as to the accounts of Miles King late Naval
Officer at Norfolk, and the amendment offered by
MIR. Wbittesea, embracing much matter relative to
the concerns between Mr.. Eaton and the late Purser
Iim6erake, are producing very great excitement in
the House; and when they shall be taken up for dis
cusson, will elicit furious and curious debate. It
is said pretty confidently that draft of the resou-
ton was sent from the Office Of the Secretary of the
Navy, and has been seen by Members. in the hand
writing OF one Of the clerks of the Department.
The inference IS, that the Sec etary is DESTROYS To
hsve the call made, Ill order that he may prepare
some statement which may be panocd off OH the pub
tic, by the aid Of the Administration party in the
House. as full justification of this arbitrary act
Of prescription. There IS probability however,
that, rather than permit full enquiry into the Eaton
aud FmberIake connection. the party will suffer the
views 0! the Administration to be thwarted, and the
resolution offered by Mr. Carson sink into cold OBJ
Hvion. Of this. however, a few days will enable
u to Judge. In the time, there are reports
in circulation which must strike every thinking and
honorable citizen There reports thct practices
have been fesored to soetCtere, in order 10 prove

for the Editor also to state, that only one of the
Letters was republished in the Wing during the heat
of the late Presidential canvass-without being reyi-
sed and corrected by the author-and n q time too
when the passions of men were strongly excited,
that nothing scarcely short of inspired truth would
have commanded attention. The Enquirer seems to
be of opinion that nothing ought to be attempt
ed without positive Of success He thinks
that truth itself deserves very little respect unless
majority is on its side.
Mr. Richie is guilty of considerable affecta,ion in
what he says concerning me. He says he will say
nothing of the Publisher and yet he does saw some
thing He says, that the Publishers opinions con
corning General Jackson of the least
degree OF consequence. Now the truth is,-they
are OF much more consequence than Mr. Ritchie's.
for they have at least been uniform and consistent
Those opinions generally of the least consequence
which change with every changing breeze. No one
has confidence in them. Mr. Ritchie's warmest no.
iitical friends attach no weigh: to his opinions.
In conclusion, remark that the attack of tho
Editor OF the Enquirer upon my edition of 4leernon

great cause the work was intended to serve have

fisher, and as do not enjoy any of the oaves and
