biScKLEY.-This enterprisiug gentleman,
VINO 1t Is generally understood is filing in
rather lively manner the ONCE OF Solicitor OF
me Internal Revenue Bureau, IL Q regalar
God-send to newspaper men In 8 dull season.
As Aching Attorney General last year, when
things were terribly stagnaut, be created any
number of first Glass sensations by his "opin-
ions" and now again,-when the mere sign OF
a rumor is chased by straining eyes and willing
feet,-even though he has hardly warmed his
new seat, he is bidding fair to Guido himself in
that way. And he will, too, if they'll only
give him a chance. He seems liable to come to
grief, however, some way or another. But il
he does, il will doubtless be in a way to make
it the basis for an A No. item. So the boys
in Newspaper Row have pretty sure thing of
il, whether he stays or whether he goes out.
On the latter point, a good many of the guid
nuncs about town have it that one OF the first
things Congress will do when it next assemblies
will be to take such steps, by legislative enact
ment, as will retire him once more to the quiet
and shady retreats of private life, without the
benefit OF doctor or priest. They argue that if
there was no necessity for filing the Office Of
Solicitor for more than a year after it was
created, no pressing emergency existed when
the appointment was finally made, and that
the mere fact that it was filled at last by 8
person known to be obnoxious to Congress,
and already legislated by it out of one snug
place. is of itself sufficient reason for abolish.
ing the Office. if the illustrious incumbent can't
be got rid Of in any other way.
In the mean time, ru.nors are plenty and
pretty we'll authenticated, 10 the effect that in
fiuential representatives Of the New York De-
mscracy are still here trying to induce the
President or any other man to make him quit
''sloshing around in that city. Some of the
more plain spoken ones irreverently style him
regular 'sbun in a china shop"-damaging
otherwise what he don't smash to pieces; and
they want to get him out, either by coaxing or
driving. We wish them joy of their undertake
ing We wish Buckley JOY, also. And, pro-
fessionally considered, we don't care whether
he sticks or lets go. We are going to have
items either way. $50 it husband! 20 it BARI
We have been more than a little entertained
by the perusal Of the oficial exposition" of
new educational institute out in Ohio, STYLED
1.-The Albany Enterprise Academy" located
somewhere in Athens county, in that s tate
One Of the distinguishing features of the new
candidate for public favor is thus stated by the
president and secretary, who, we take it, are
American citizens of African descent In fact
we may say we know they are, from a remark
they make. They say:
at is an institution of our own; owned nv
colored stockholders; governed by colored off,
GERS; taught by colored professors and teachers
and is for the education of colored students err
clusirety. We say erciusively, though there is
no law which keeps out white students"
"But," they add with charming naiyete ssbut
no white students apply for admission"
Another peculiarly of the institution, in.
tended, no doubt, TO commend it to public favor,
is thus stated: " Poor disabled colored soldiers
are favored with light or no tuition at ALL
which we hope the ''poor disabled colored
soldiers" will be able to interpret to their
advantage, somehow, though we can't see
1t in that light. Still, we hope the new senter-
prise" will be successful one, as we are in
favor OF the widest spread Of knowledge. And
this, 1t seems 10 us, is a clear case Of "spread"
