The ..Cass Organ" at Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Sun is exceedingly angry
at being called ''CAss organ" and pours
forth all manner of abuse against MS for using
the term in regard TO it. Abuse from such a
quarter may be allowed to pass unheeded.
The Sun was "warIn and unllinching'
Wing, it says, and therefore it cannot be a
"CAss organ" When we spoke of it in the
latter character, we referred to its present
course, not to its history of which we know
little; and any man who has watched the con-
troversy which has been carried on during the
last few days between different sections Of the
Philadelphia Democracy, and who read 1he
article which appeared in the Sun Of the Goth
ultimo, will feel that the application Of the
words was fully justified by the circumstances.
On that occasion the Sun appeared as the
champion of Mr.. CAss, and, expressed the
warmest interest in his nominations; it claimed
CAss as the American candidate, and bemoaned
the dulness Of his prospects, in consequence of
"the once great Democratic party of Phlade-
phia county" having ''dwindled into absolute
nothiDgness." These were the points of the
article, and we ask if they are not more indie
alive of CAss organship. or advocacy. than a
swarm and unflnching" Wing?

The Cuban PrisOners Released.

BY the arrival of the steamer Africa at New

something like uniformity ought to be observa-
Bile in the length Of the printed speeches, even
after making adequate allowance iof the
comparative slowness or rapldity of the speak

over seven of these speeches, and find that
they exhibit, respectively, the following mum
Der OF lines: 81, "a, l08, III, 1877, $50, 1877.
Now, who can believe that the 1877 lines
were delivered in five minutes2 Allowing
eight and half words as the average embraced
in each line of the report. the 1877 lines contain
about ,627 words-double the quantity which
ninety nine.Out of hundred could deliver in
the time, and one third more than the fastest
short hand writer could commit to paper in that
period. These facts render it evident that ere

"coohing"--in majority of instances very con-
siderable expansion.
The genuineness of the report seems to be-
altogether lost sight Of in desire to please the
after thought of individual members. little
reflection must satisfy them, however, that
the practice which permits this license is
prejudcial to their own position before the
country. For example, A makes a speech,
to which b replies. A, having no con-
science, alters the official report of his
speech to an extent which renders BIS reply
absurdly unintelligible; or b, profting by a
similar opportunity, sharpens his reply until ii
conveys what he intended to say, not what he
did say. This course of proceeding manifestly
admits of no limitation, and divination is not
needed to discover that, 50 long as it is practi-
cable, the public can place only partial conf
dence in the Congressional edition of its own
OratOry.
