HUNDUG HUMILIATION.

The Inauguration OF General Grant as
PreE.dent OF the United S:6tes, and the
refusal Of the Senate to raufy the one
ssd.d treaty concocted by Lord Cls1en-
den and Revc,dy Johnson, c.n.e the
Tcry press OF Great Britain to no.n, and
to despair OF overresehing this govern
meut IN the settlement at the Atah1me
claims. The London Times whiuingly
snss: "We have done cur best; we
have gone TO TIE Tery verge-t We hsvc

humbug. The British G lvesnnens has

In the newspapers ot the proceedings OF
Legislatures are edited now and then by
speeches and resolutions, in which tie
reporters are referred soa "persons who

such statement Is truly amusing.
In nine cases out of ten the per-
son who indulges in this form Of speech,
and then assails the press upon the floors
Of legislative body, Is conscious Of
guilt; and his af1cced contempt for
newspapers is confession OF the fear OF
exposure which hsunta him by dsy and
by night aud gives him no peace.
