The EVERLASTING NIGGER QUEsTloS.-
The New York Herald, treating the Cuban
question, pays the following compliment TO
certain politicians in Congress, belonging on
both sides o! the line, who make the niger
the absorbing topic Of their public duties:
There is set OF miserable, low, dirty, pet.
tyfogging politicians in each of the great
parties that divide Congress, who will neither
look al the issue like men nor meet it as be.
comes the rep 'sentatives of free and
American constituency. They have come into
an ephemera public lie on the foolish quar-
rel of the Niger question, and they wish to
bring that question into every issue that is
presented TO the people. Having no higher
ground TO claim continuance in their pre-
sent posts than the fact that they are fanatics
for slavery, or fanatics for abolition, they are
ready to iorego for awhile their bitter hostili.
ty to each other, and TO strike hands in
friendship for the purpose of keeping life in
the niger.
Strongly put, but true beyond all dispute

The PUBLIC PRINTING AT WASHINGTON
We understand that the House Investigating
Committee of Hon. George Taylor, on the
subject of the government printing, are pros
ecuting their researches into this business
with commendable industry. This is good:
but we hope that the investigation will not
be suspended until all the Washington edi-
tors, publishers and printers, contractors and
lobby partners implicated in this printing bu.
siness are hauled up and examined. There
is no other way of getting n complete insight
into the lobby arrangements and combina-
tons under which the treasury, during the
last ten years, has been heeced, on account
OF this government printing, to the tune of
eight or ten millions of dollars. This Con-
gressional printing, in fact, has become the
principal fountain of corruption, and the prn-
cipal nucleus of the lobby, and thus an in
toerable public nuisance, that cannot be too
soon abated Brief, therefore, as is the re-
naming business remnant of the session, we
hope that il will not pass away without at
least breaking the backbone of this grand
lobby combination job of the public printing.
