H We have a great mind to conclude
that the exposure of flagrant abuse, a
shameful public wrong, is an act OF fool
hardness which no discreet person can be
expected hereafter to venture upon. You
may do it ever 60 we'll, and under circum-
stances of the most urgent necessity, and
nobody thanks you; while if you happen
to be blessed with enemies, political or per-
sonul, they will very certainly improve the
opportunity to remind you Of their exist
ence. Is it not better, then to be discreet
and let abuses wax so outrageous as to work
out their own curel
We were at Washington at the close
of the late Session, and looked on-mainly
in the Senate-through the sitting of six
and twenty hours, in which most OF the
business Of the Session was accomplished.
We saw, in the first place, some fifteen to
eighteen hours wasted in concerted, deter
mined efforts by minority TO avoid de-
eieiye vote ON the River and Harbor bill,
and then We saw tho Appropriations and
other important measures pitchtorhed
through ono oyor another, and sometimes
,w6 or thfeo within five minutes, whllo
some othsf was formally under conaidora.
