Mr.. EWING, OF THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
HIS DEFENcE.-One Of our Washington cores
pondenis undertakes the defence of Mr.. Ewing,
Secretary of the Home Department, against certain
petty charges trumped up by Grandfather White

"Uuion" newspaper. We condemn Mr.. Ewing
for his general policy and principles as an adviser
Of the President-no more, no less. Ga the ques-
ton Of rewards and appointments he is ga journey
man throat-cutter'-no more, no less. Grandfather
Blockhead, Washington, would do well to make
a distinction between General Taylor and his

The NAVY AND THE ROUND ISLANDERS. -The

and The overthrow of despotism In that productive
island, has returned TO Norfolk, to take in wood
and COAL to be in readiness probably, for the trans
portahon Of Mr.. Poussn back to France, If he
should accept the "free passage" offered him by
the Secretary of State. The ship Albany remlined
at Ship Island, and the steamer Water Witch and
the schooner Flirt at the last accounts, stand
Ing guard over the fishermen at Round Island.
II Is well to be on the safe side, for half dozen

A careful examination OF this table will show vast
difference In the reported cost ofrunning the trsns Of
each company On the Utica aud Schenectady the cost
Of running per mile last year about 81 90 while on
the Harlem It according to the report only about
ninety. eight cents On the Albany aud Schenectady,
the cost Of running was eighty Eve cents per mill,
while the Troy aud Schenectady IL was about SIXTY
eight cents per mile Horse power on railroads IL very
expensive and any company using that power to any
extent must larger per Of ts receipts for
current expenses, than roads using none other but
steam power The cars II the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company drawn about two miles nv borss
power, and is estimated that this horse pover ccsts
four and one third cents per mile per passenger,
and seven cents per ton per mile for freight. Now
when 1T Is considered that about three quarters O,
the income Of the Harlem Railroad Company Ia
derived from the city business 10 which horse no yer s
used exclusively, 1t will be impossible to resist Thu,
conclusion that the current running expenses per mile
reported, are tar below the actual expenditures Az
to the cost Of this road there probably Il ~ great a
discrepancy. In the annual report for 1877, the
Harlem Company says" Total expense Of con.
structng the road In operation 50 miles sls7lso27ly
And In the report for 1915 the Company says this, so

NoN-INTERvHNrIoS-A ANOTHER NESr Eco roR

published in the city Of Mexico afiirms that Eng
land has offered her mediation to the Mexican GO
vernment in the war which continues to rage be-
tween the whites and the Indians Of Yueatan.
The chief condition of the pacification. is the
grant Of a slice of territory, doubtless at some
point commanding the south passage into the
Gulf, or a route across the lshmus to the Pacific.
II these overtures are accepted, Great Britain may
occupy the Straits Of the Caribbean SCI, and lock
up the Gulf Of Mexico at her option. The policy
Of Mr.. Monroe, in the affairs Of the North Ameri-
can continent, was the policy Of non-intervention
by foreign nations, the policy Of no more foreign
colonies, or nest eggs for future squsbbles with
foreign governments. The Secretary Of State
having taken, from necessity, the right position in
reference TO the Sambo Squa,ter Of the Mosquito
