FLAoa ON CoNTRACrs-THE STATIONERY Hum
Bue.-In another column will be found Q second
communication from that clever fnancier, Mr.
John Straw, jun, in which he deals summarily
with the facts and figures Of Comptroller Flagg's
report on the stationery contract It viii be
seen from the items Of stationery furnished to
the Comptroller's own department, that he
found it desirable to suspend the conditions Of
the contract, 90 far as the articles furnished to
the latter were concerned, although he brings
the charge Of colluEve evasion Of it against
the contractors and number of persons con-
nected with the city government. We have
before pointed out the absurdity Of its being
expected that a contract for the supply Of
reams of paper and expensive account books at
zone cent each" could have been honestly car
ried out, but we certainly did not expect to
find, taking the statements Of his report into
consideration, that the Comptroller should have
first sanctioned departure from it's terms by
his own example and then quarrelled with 9th
ers for following it. This is carrying the hum
bug little too far. It won't do Mr.. Flagg
You must try and make capital out of some
less transparent materials.

TEE EUROPEAN WAR-AxYAICAN MEDIATION.
we call the attention of our readers, aud es-
cially Of both houses OF Con gress, to the petit
ton which they will find in this paper, from
citizens Of he city Of New York, praying the
friendly Intervention of our govern ment in be-
half Of the paci6cation OF Europe. Accompa-
nying tits memor al We also give the appeal OF
the Russian government to our own in behalf
Of peace, in reference to our war with Great
Britain f 1872. Numerous other examples
might be cited Of the friendly interposition Of q
neutral power as mediator between two or
more powers at war. The practice is not ex-
traordinary. 1t is fully authorized n the gene
raj law Of nations, (see Vattel on Medation,)
and fully established in its exercise from time
to time.
We trust that Mr.. Clingman viii call up his
resolution in Congress upon the first opportu-
nifty, and open the discussion Of the subje:t in
speech upon its merits. The discussion and
adoption Of such . resolution by both Houses
will make it incumbent on the President to act
in the matter. Indeed, such . step on the part
of Congress will Of itself have very great in
auence upon the European belligerents The
petition Of our citizensis properly directed to
the President; but that should not interfere ex-
cept to facilitate the consideration Of Mr.. Cling
mans resolution. Let him try it.
