Gus in such matters will find complete ac-
count of the performances of their representa-
tives during the present session. 1t Is
briefly roll of honor, in which the
relative merit of members is Indicated
after a very suggestive manner.
Let us illustrate its value, though be 1t
understood that in giving meritorious names
we have no wish TO be invidious. The con-
stituents of Mr.. John Morrissey will doubtless
be greatly grieved to learn that he has not
found attendance on dull debates as attrac-
tive as other pursuits, and has been absent
from his place 100 days in session OF
ONLY one hundred and sixty-six. lie also
stands first in the list of those memora-
bic for having missed the opportunity Oh
recording their convictions. lie mas aiso
been guilty Of originating and introducing DO
bills of any kind. His only worthy
rival in this regard was Mr.. John Fox,
also of this city. The Hon. James Buflinton
of Massachusetts appears to have been the
most constant in attendance and most persist
ent in voting. having never failed to make his
appearance in his seat or on the record.
Aaron A. Sargent of California has, without
question, been the most industrious man III
Congress, having been absent only four days,
having missed only thirty-nine votes, and IN
troduced thirty-four bills, only two OF which
were of a private character. AT the head OF
the roll of honor of those who have been
busiest in passing private bills we find the
name of the Hon. W. b. Stokes of Tennessee,
who submitted just twenty-nne OF these
usually obnoxious measures. Third upon the
same list is Roderick Random Butler, OF
the same State, parent of twenty-one
private schemes, exclusive of the one
in regard to the sales of Cadetships. We
commend this part of the statement to the
constituents of these gentlemen with the hope
that they will give future representatives to
understand that private good should not be
their only aim. Indeed, the entire table is
worthy the serious contemplation OF all men
who go to the polls cOnscientiously resolved
to vote for pure men and true. 1t is not
very encouraging review. We hope that for
the second session Of the same Congress the
record will be more satisfactory.

eliminate and premeditated assault upon a
party of peaceable men, women, and children
who were enjoying themselves decOrously, in
a place where their assaiants had no business
to be. The irritation which the spectacle OF
an Orange procession may have caused in the
earlier part of the day offers no extenuaton
for the subsequent attack, when the Protest
ants were dancing within the Enclosures of
Elm Park, offending nobody except those who
sought them out for the purpose of being OF
Tended. The assault was worthy only oil
savages.
The ruflians who have committed this crime
belong to the class which, under the leader
ship of Mr.. William NJ. Tweed, has taken pos
session of the City and the State, with the
purpose, apparently, of beginning a reign OF
general license. They have seized upon the
ballot-box, gained control of most OF the
courts, and abolished as many as possible OF
the restraints by which the disorderly classes
have hitherto been kept in more or less sub
lection. Since the new regime began, the Yio-
lence of Mr.. Tweeds cohorts has been steadily
increasing. They threaten us with free muir
der, free drunkenness and free rloting. IL
seems to us they are going too fast. Ny
Tweed and his Judges can't afford to
give them so much rope. They are use
full, we know, on election day but for
their peculiar services at such times they are
now claiming privileges far more extensive
than Tammany can safely allow them. I'm
fortunately, the police took few prisoners on
Tuesday afternoon but the ringleaders of the
riot must have been recognized, and ought to
be soon in custody The city will demand for
the guilty a speedy and severe sentence.
Let us have no legal Juggling, no straw
bail, no mock trials, and no trivial
penalties. 1t is imperative that the
Boulevard butchers should receive ter
rible lesson. Mr.. Tweed will do well TO re-
member that there are many thousands of re-
spectacle gentlemen in the Democratic party,
and if he wants to keep their votes he must
let Justice be done in cases like this.
And now, will gentlemen who have berated
THE TRIBUNE for its efforts in behalf of n
general amnesty and speedy oblivion to the
bitter feelings of the late war reconsider their
views in the light of this Illustration? Judge
for yourselves whether it is desirable for the
National peace and prosperity that the mem
cries of Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and Appomat-
fox should be as bitter and as provocative of
bloodshed hundred years hence as are those
of the BOyne to-day

We are weary of these discussions about the
religion of Mr.. Dickens, and we did not in
tend to refer to them again; but the proceed
ings of the meeting of Boston Baptist clergy
men leave us no alternative but to say some
thing which we desire to say in that spirit of
Christian charity which seems little rare in
some quarters. This meeting was held ex-
pressly to decide whether Mr.. Dickens was in
Heaven or He'll, and after long discussion of
the probabilities the following rather remark
able resolution was adopted
"Resolred, That the position OF the Baptist pulpit OF
Boston and vicinity does not call for any rearmaton of
our principles"
But this was after a great deal of talk
about Mr.. Dckens's probable fate, which rem
dered the resolution rather a lame conclusion.
Somebody said that the Rev. Mr.. Murray would
Z" sit in his pulpit and laugh at them" We
think it extremely probable.

The new Census returns begin to show
whether THE TRIBUNE did or did not do in
Justice TO the Democracy at our late election in
charging them with the most shameless frauds

TILE RIOT

The celebration in New York Of such an an
niversary as that of the Battle of the Boyne
we believe to be in bad taste and bad iudg-
ment. When Irishmen come here to earn a
comfortable living, and enjoy the privileges
of free and impartial government, we have
reason to ask that they shall leave the spirit
of faction behind them, and neither break the
peace nor tempt others to break it. If the
great Orange anniversary were nothing but a
commemoratiOn of the triumph of Protestant
ism, or the celebration of national victory,
no one could object to Protestants keeping it.
Everybody knows, however, that the cause it
exalts was not national, but sectional, and that
the festival, whatever it may be in name, is in
reality not so much the celebration of a vic
tory as a taunt for the vanquished. For these
reasons we wish the 0rangemen could be con-
tent to keep the 18th of July, if they must
keep it, with less parade. Good manners to-
ward their American hosts at least might make
them careful not to be even innocent causes
of disturbance.
But whatever may be thought of the pru-
dence of the Orangemen, upon the behavior
of their assaants on Tuesday there can be
but one opinion. If the Irish Protestant Asso-
Citations choose to parade our streets, wearing
orange colors, and waving orange flags, they
have a perfect right TO do sO--just as good a
right as the Catholic Irish have to decorate
Themselves with green and block up the streets
on the festival of st. Patrick. The assault by
the Catholics on Tuesday was without shadow
of palliation. IL seems, from all accounts, to
have been a most dastardly outrage-an indls-

That old minstrel, 0ssian E. Dodge (who is
a minstrel no longer), publishes a letter in
The 81. LOuis (Mo.) Democrat showing how the
town of Duluth was "bulled" in the market
and financially founded by Dr. Thomas Foster,
the editor of The Duluth MinneSOtidn. The
Doctor has Sparkling vigOr," his "simIles are

owners tof land at Duluth gave him a
good many lots, and he proceeded to write up
the town. Lots went from SO per acre up to
500 per front foot. But the ungrateful pur-
chasers of DR.. Fosters pen event back on
"him,n when he showed himself independent
in town matters and the opponent of " thieves,
"lcentious pimps, and notorious gamblers"
These amiable persOnages determined to drive
him from the town which had been created
by his own genius. But he was ga war horse
then, and, "with a dOuble-edged sword, he cut
"right and left" Mr.. Dodge, the Minstrel,
intimates that as the Doctor wrote up the
town so he can write it down "deader than a

tremendous fellow that he can wipe out Duluth
Gin thirty days" With the Northern Pacific
line terminating at st. Paul, or, for four months
in the year. at Bayfield,, Wisconsin, Duluth
will go to the bow-wows. The Doctor has

The peace of Europe, we are now told, is
assured by the withdrawal of Prince Leopold,
but if the dispatches are to be believed it has
been at the expense of the peace of France.
There are statements of the dissolution of the
French Ministry, and the withdrawal of the
Prince seems to have created greater excite
ment than did the previous refusal of Prussia
to compel him TO do so. The dispatches, how
ever, state nothing with pOsitiveness and the
situation remains as complicated and as I'M
certain as before.

Congressman have strangely enough got the
notion in their heads that the people who
elect them estimate their value as Representa-
tives by the amount of talking they do.
Hence the plethoric appearance of the present
volume of that costly aggravation, The Globe.
But Congressman are as frequently mistaken
as common people, and arc decidedly in error
in this belief. City folks who have other
things to think of, pay little attention, one
way or the other, to what their Congressman
do, and are as content to be represented by
mere figure-heads as by the most indus
trious of Legislators. But in the country
a different system of valuation prevails, and
these constituents, who have time to read and
think calculate the number of days their rep
resentatiyes are absent the issues they fail to
vote upon, the public bills they introduce, the
number of committees they are on, and the
number and magnitude of the private schemes
they smuggle through. In short, they keep
