..Rattar Leave Well Alone"

We see that Mr.. Goode, who represents one

,n;.s;on from Congress to publish speech, as
delivered before the House, on the question
-, III, Distribution of the proceeds Of the
pnhlic Lands, which he has written out.
southern men, when they cannot speak in
Congress. should be content to present their
INV. To- their constituents in the shape of a
l.,,,r printed at their own cost. Leave it to
Tnr,hern men to have speeches never deliver
ed except to themselves in their rooms before
mirror, published in the Congressional
Globc. a, the public expense.
But aside from the improperly ofissuing to
the world as speech an essay never deliver
rI we think Mr.. Goode has erred in raking
nm an old issue The question Of Public
lands is not an easy one to handle in can

south; and if it should be started in the Pc

Secretary Cobb.

Secretary Cobb isa trump. lie evidently
counted the cost when he first determined to
dispute the Presidents right to shape the
financial policy ofhis Administration, and so
prepared himself TO follow up boldly and
steadily the line which he then marked out
for himself. His whole course shows that he
was not engaged in mere experimenting
that he satisfied himself at the beginning that
he was equal to the contest before him, and
certain to win. His letter to the House re-
ceived yesterday indicates not a shadow
of iinching, hut shows him Just as positively
hostile to the Presidents financial views as
ever, and just as determined to stand or
fall upon the position assumed in. his annual
report. So the question is still unsettled
whether the President shall turn out his
Secretary, or the Secretary shall turn out
the President, with the chances, however,
decidedly in favor of the latter alternative
