publish "black list, of unworthy and cor.
rupt members, and roll of honor of the in
corruptible.
Asa Parker, who was mentioned last sun,-
mer among the candidates for the nomination
for the Presidency at the Democratic Conven-
ton in New York, is a candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania.
The Montreal Star argues that the inde-
pendence of the Dominion would be advanta-
geous for Canada itself, for England and for
the United States.
Agassz, Pierce, and Gibbs oppose the choice
of Mr.. Eliot as President of Harvard, while
DR.. Walker and Mr. Emerson favor it.
The President intends to take vacation of
i've or six weeks some time in the summer
months. He will visit New England and the
West, and there is remote possibility that he
may cross to California.

YOUNG OF THE TRIBUNE.-Great interest is
felt in newspaper circles in the case of John
Russell Young, managing editor of the New
has just been assailed SO severely in the New
York Sun. We have heretofore noticed the
charges against him-stealing Associated Press
dispatches for the benefit of the Philadelphia
Post, paper in which he is interested, and
selling his political influence and that OF the
Tribune and other papers with which he is
connected, to Cameron, Grow and others
The Tribune makes no defence of Mr.. Young,
but it appears that he has not been discharged
from that establishment. Mr.. Young in the
complaint on which his suit against the editor
of the Sun is based, does not deny the misap-
preparation of dispatches, but only contradicts
the charge of receiving money for improper
purposes. But John d. Stockton, editor of
the Philadelphia Post denies that he was in
debted to Mr.. Young for the Associated Press
dispatches, and says that Dana got all his thun-
der from one Charles McClintock, discharged
cashier in the Post Office, who was turned
off because he could not account for money
that had been in his possession. This McClin-
teck is the Charley" to whom the letters
published by Dana are addressed. The affair
is very unfortunate one, especially as the
person assailed is one of the most accomplished
and successful journalists in the country,
though he is still so young that he has been
known as the "blue-eyed boy of the
Tribune"

SENATOR CAdERoN's charge that constitu-
tional thief had been appointed to European
consulate was literally true. The man is one
Cox of Philadelphia. He possesses means,
culture and considerable ability, but is unior-
tunately a confirmed kleptomaniac. He was
arrested the other day for stealing some trivial
articles from a grocery store, and was let off
upon paying $500 to cover the value of articles
stolen during the last two years. 1t is absurd,
however 40 make his appointment ground of
repreash to Gen. Grant. The President can
not of course enjoy the personal acquaintance
Of all the people of the country, and is obliged
to take some fhis appointees on the represen-
tation of their friends. He promptly removed
Cox upon learning that he was unworthy of
Of confidence. He promised to take this
course in his inaugural, and has shown a de-
termination to fulfil his promise, Withdrawing
several unfit nominations before they could be
acted upon by the Senate and in the case above

DON PATT TO SENATOR SPRAGUE. Don
Piatt gives the Rhode Island Senator the fol-
lowing good advice:
There is, / admit, strong temptation to
dish up the little Senator. He has so many
good things, we like to- note the ugly ones
While we of the press are floating about on
spars, he is captain of a big three-decker. He
has fifteen millions gold. He has his seat in
the Senate. Chief-Justice Chase is his father
in-law, and his wife is large Drained, graceful
accomplished and lovely. By Jove. we are
forced to balarce the account or go mad. And
SO we say to him, when he appeals to us, as
the Jove I swore by said to the peacock, when
that gay bid prayed for the voice of the night
ingale, "Be content with your tail, old bird.
1t is splendid tail; be proud of it, and don't
attempt to sing, and people won't discover
that you have no voice."
He has been no student. With brainy peo-
pie about him, and no end of books in his Ii
brary, he has been content with his millions.
Millions are grand things, and we bump our
free and independent heads on the floor in
their presence. But they are not everything.
When Ingot comes before us, not only as q
Sena or an a lawmaker, but as leader, we
get up and look at him, and listen to him,
and if he fails to come up to respectable ex-
pectations, with the points of little pins we.
puncture him.
Only yesterday, William of Rhode Island
took to reading that duller sort of fiction call
ed history; and jumping to the conclusion that
what he read was as new to others as TO him
self he injects huge volumes into the body of
his discourse, to the great wrath of his brother
Senators and the galleries.
If William were as thoughtful as he is brave
and original, would send for David A. Wells,
and read my letters, he could take his millions
and make prodigious stir in the world. But
then he won't. No man ever does What
golden opportunities besides those of the mill
ions are throwni aside, or are passed unseen
and SO neglected.

The NEW PARTY.-The Riverside Echo. un-
der the management of its new editor, Rev. j.
E. G. Sawyer, takes less cautious ground than
formerly on political questions. In the lead
ing editorial of this week we find this
The friends of Temperance will do nothing
rashly, but they have been driven to the occu-
pying of a more independent position than
they have hitherto held, and they will respond
to the call of the hour. If the Republican
party would retain their allegiance, then let it
adopt their measures and support the men
whom they shall designate as their standard
bearers.
The matter of calling Temperance Conven-
ton, forming an independent party and nak-
ing a nomination for Governor, in accordance
with the recommendation of the Grand Lodge
of Good Tsmplars, will no doubt be settled at
the meeting of the State Executive Temper
ance Committee, to be held in this city on the
18th of May. Our impression is that prudent
esunsels will prevail, and that nothing will be
done to imperil not only the cause of temper
ance, but other cherish ID principles that have
found active and effective advocacy in the Re-
publican party.
