A DISGUSTING ExHIBIrIoS.-In accordance

and decidedly bestial character was decided
yesterday afternoon in a stable near the inter-
section OF Jefferson and Division streets. Two
weeks ago bet was made between two we'll

and the other from the Tenth, that a certain
notorious gourmdHd would eat three dozen
hard boiled eggs, without drink Of any kind,

rapidity two eggs were boiled, but as suddenly
the eater stopped and protested that the eggs

against. The umpire tested and declared the
objection well taken, and ordered forty new
eggs to be procured and boiled under his per.

sympathiZed with the intolerant spirit OF re-
bellion now submitting, although perhaps
with not very good grace, to the prevalence
and extension of Northern views In their
midst, we may thank God and take courage.
OF this we have pleasing evidence in the pros

days OF slavery'B dominion and In the heart of
Kentucky, has been wonderfully protected
while heToically battling with want, neglect,
and mob violence, until at last 1t appears
firmly rooted upon Southern soil.
During the last three years 1t has preserved
the proper christian attitude OF opening Its
doors to all, irrespective OF class or color, who
were seeking the benefits OF an education, 1t
has drawn to 1t large numbers OF students

therefore, depending upon 1t as their only
means oil obtaining an education, 1t should

THE PUBLIC OFFICES.


We are on the eve OF inaugurating a new
Administration nm Administration, too
which 10 to be republican In form, in principle
and In fact. There 10 10 be no oommingling oI
crude ideas, nor jumbling up incongruoui
principles and notions, which are anti.repub
lican In their purport and tendency.
The Republican party In the last Presi
Dental campaign made the issues distinct
fought their enemies upon these issues, and
achieved over their antagonists q complete
victoryi and It 10 neither the part OF wisdom
nor patriotism to throw away the benefits and
results four great victories under the miser
able pretext oflovins our enemies.
Every man who wants an once, though he
voted for Seymour and Blair, now claims TO be
sGrant man.
The friends Of General Grant have become
so numerous that the party 10 in danger oil
being overslaughed by pseudo Republicans
These latter.day converts in the North and ir
the South have come to be the original Grant
men, and those who have fought the battleI
for years, and stood BY the Government in tn,
hours OF its EXTREMIST need and perils, are
threatened to be pushed aside to make room
for these elamarous converts and profe.sed
Republicans OF the hour. We do not believe
In such sudden conversions, and we tell thes,
gentlemen to wait q little longer II youi
conversion is genuine It will not hurt you "a
wait. Try 1t for four years, and II during lat
time you behave well you may come to the
front.
To show what these pseudo Republicans are
doing to get themselves recognized, and espe-
cially to get office, 1t is only necessary to refer
to their efforts to get themselves and thelr
friends nominsted to high places by Mr.. John.
son, and then to get confirmed by the Senate
on the ground that they are Radicals Of the
first water.
The Republicans abroad would, did they
know the fact, be surprised at the patches Of
names which have been sent to the Senate
constituted, as they are in large measure, oil
men OF this class. To be sure, to sugar-coa
the thing, there 10 a slight sprinkling OF rea
Republicans mixed In with these nominations
just to help the thing along.
We observe that on Saturday a list OF Ter
ritorial officers for the new Territory OF wy
oming was sent to the Senate, made up afte
the approved pattern, but the coating o
sugar is so thin that we hope and trust tn
Senate will easily ascertain the bitterness o.
the pill and reject 1t entire.
Once for all we say to the Senate, reject al
these names. 1t Is not long to the 4th o
March, and the public interest cannot suffe
much till that time. Let us walt for Gen
Grant, and then let US have a clean sweep
So say all true Republicans.

THE LAW IN RELATION TO ASSAULT AND
BATrKRT.-Itis 10 to be hoped that Congress
will, during the present session, take some
action In regard to the law now In force In
this District relating to assault and battery.
The act OF Congress approved February %,
1867, section eight, provides that any person
brought before justice of the ps.ee for the
District upon the charge OF assault and bat
terry shall be admitted to plead guilty of tho
charge preferred, and the Justice is authorized
to assess such fne as he may adJudge proper,
and enter judgment therefor, and II not paid
"execution may issue as In civil cases;n In
other words giving any rufian the right to
commit an assault upon a peaeeable citizen,
and when arrested for the offence he is allowed
to plead guilty, have his fine imposed, and
then go scot free without paying It. II ex.
ecution 10 issued for the fine, which now be-
comes civil debt, he can shield himself
behind the generous exemption laws of the
District, and plead that he has nothing to levy
upon. Thus crime Is allowed to go unpun-
ished, and as 1t has now become well known
how frsil the law is, the rowdies and despe.
radoes of the city have no hesitancy to com.
NIT brutal assaults upon inotfensive citizens,
well knowing how easily It Is for them to
evade punishment. The Board of Police, iu
two of their snnual reports to the Secretary
of the Interior, have heretofore referred to
this matter, and we sincerely hope that the
law may at once be SO amended as to provide
ior the correction OF the evil complained Of
