The HOUSE OF CORRECTION

The committee of Councils having the su-
perintendence of the erection of the House
of Correction visited the proposed site of this
much needed municipal institution yester-
day, and selected the spot upon which the
buildings are to be erected AS the differ
ence between the competing contractors has
now been definitely settled by legal deci-
sion, there ought to be no further delay in
putting up the necessary structures for the
House of Correction. 1t is acknowledged
on all sides that this insti tuition is an impera-
tive necessity, and after all the discussion
that has taken place on the subject it is GER
tainly high time that something definite was
done to make it an established fact
The County Prison and the
Almshouse are both crowded to overhowing
with outcasts of both sexes who do not pro-
perly belong there, but who cannot be cared
for in a suitable manner until they are lodged
in House of Correction and obliged to do
some honest labor for the food they cat and
the clothing they wear. Independently of
those who are thus directly thrown upon the
public, our streets are swarming with pau
pers, and it is utterly imp ossible to institute
any measures for their benefit or for the pro-
lection of the public from them until
House of Correction is built
and in operation. 1t is not creditable
to great and wealthy city like this that such
long delay should have occurred in putting
into practical execution the idea of House
of Correction, but now that the first definite
steps have been taken, and the project seems

Our dispatches from Washington state that
the President was very much surprised at the
publication of the correspondence between
himself and ex-Secretary Cox, and that he
proposes to give the public a statement of
his side of the case that will place his conduct
in more favorable light than it is at present.
AS the matter now stands the President is
certainly not in very enviable position be-
fore the country, and if he really has any good
reasons for his recent conduct the
sooner he let's the public know what
they are the better it will be for his reputa-
ton. We very much fear, however, that the
President will find it impossible to present
such version of the why and wherefore of
Mr.. Coxs exit from the Cabinet as will be
satisfactory to the right-minded men of the
country, and unless he can make really
satisfactory defense the best thing he can do
is to say nothing, for lame defense will
only have the effect of intensifying the dis
gust of those who look upon his acceptance
of Mr. Coxs resignation as a shameful sur
render to some of the most corrupt influences
that disgrace our national politics.

The name of Washington College, over
which Robert e. Lee formerly presided, has
been changed to Washington-Lee University,
and G. w. c. Lee, second son of the late
President, has been elected as the successor
of his father. The trustees of this institu-
ton are evidently determined to lavish
honors upon the military leader of the Re-
bellion; and while the addition to the name
of the college is perhaps fitting in view of
their special purposes, it would be shockingly
inappropriate if they were Influenced by
broad American motives.
