W1SHLNGTON CORRESPONDENCE.

The trial of the Washington correspondent
of The Evening Post for slandering members
of the House of Representatives has ended, as
such trials in Washington generally end, in
verdict of "Not Guilty, but we warn the pris-
"Oner not to do so any more" There are
cases in which a verdict of this kind is the
wisest that can be rendered, and we dare say
the present case is one of them. Some allow
ance must be made for the superfuous zeal of
unwise reporters, who think less of their duty
to the public than of getting material for
spicy dispatch in advance of all their rivals,
but are not purposely guilty of defamation Of
character. Besides, in these days of bribery
and suspicion, members probably think that it
is better to throw no obstacles in the way of
journalists who are trying to discover frauds
and expose the guilty, and that to punish
correspondent for making mistake would be
interpreted by evil-minded persons as an indi-
rect attempt to muzzle the press by terrorism.
We are by no means certain that the press
would not be the better for little muzzling,
applied with discrimination; but the remedy for
too great freedom of the pen ought to come
from the public and not from Congress.
This affair of the Cuban bonds, however,
ought not to be passed over without few
words upon the offense which the correspondent
Smith has committed. The EUening Post has
the reputation of treating all subjects except
the tariff and all men except protectionists
with a decorum which at times $50 say the
iTeyeIenO amounts to dizziness; but We are
surprised to find it in the present case not
merely excusing its correspondent, but oven
asserting that he did uO wrong. lie made

DEAD NEWS NAMES.

Col JaGuess of the Seventy third Illinois
Regiment, made meteoric appearance at the
East and South in 1864. Subsequently YER
satile rao3nteur secured for him in The At
Idntic Monthly a sensational appearance that
for fortnight was the talk of the country.
He was next heard from in connection with
some very disgraceful charges brought before
a Court Martial at the West He has not
again dawned upon the public eye till, the
other day, certain alleged evidence of his,
given before a Senate Committee, in support
of his claim for extra pay, was prematurely pub
lished.
This testimony, besides giving rehash of
matter included in Mr.. GilmOres article in
The atlantic, and of a campaign document on
the subject, printed by the Republican Ma
tional Committee in 1864, introduces some new
statements, gravely affecting the characters of
some prominent public men. Its most serious
averment is that ex-President Buchanan was
in earnest sympathy with the Rebel leaders,
was in their confidence, and was active in
their counsels as to the movements on the
border. There are also some statements, not
entirely novel, concerning Gov. Seymour and
sundry other gentlemen; and there is
claim that through COL Jaquess' agency
the incendiary materials, prepared for firing
Northern cities and shipping, were so arranged
as to contain within themselves chemical
agencies for extinguishing the fire, shortly
after it had begun.
Most of the important things, however, in
this alleged evidence are not new, and it is
not clear that the new things are true. Mr..
Buchanan was weak old man when the war
broke out but we do not want to believe
him traitor without unimpeachable evidence.
When the report of this Committee comes
before us in proper form, it may seem to
deserve consideration. Now we can only
protest against blackening, on insufficient or
uncertain testimony, the character of a dead
man, who was once well enough esteemed to be
made our President, and who already has
crimes enough to answer for at the bar of his
tory. Let us have all the facts.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1870-06-24

but that Wholesale thievery is intended B
evident from the price authorized to be paid
for the work. Last Summer Dr. Harris, then
Sanitary Superintendent, cleaned AZ miles or
paved surface ten times each at total cost
of $3,547 "a, of which amount, however, 1901 10
was paid for disinfectants, leaving only
S2,745 "a, or less than SO per mile, as the cost
of cleaning, which it will be seen is not one
fifth of the price to be paid Brown, who has
heretofore OmiAal to do his work with the
same regularity that he has received his pay.
1t will be claimed, and must be admitted,
that DR.. Harris did not remove the sweepings
in all the streets but the cost OF carriage
cannot account for the great difference.
1t will be impossible to escape the whole
sale robbery which is contemplated. If we
appeal to the Board of Health we shall be
met and defeated by the Tammany influence
which now controls that body. 1t is useless
to call the attention of the Mayor to the griev-
ance, as he is fully aware of all the plans, and
might have thwarted them in the beginning
if he had desired. 1t is time wasted to invoke
the Intervention of the courts or of the people
of the city, as the Democratic Legislature took
the precaution of delivering both, bound hand
and foot, into the clutches of Tammany. we
must submit to be robbed with no other con-
ISOLATION or redress than an appeal to the state
to contrast Democratic high-sOunding pretense
with Tammany's woeful performance.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1870-06-24

There is no haste evnced by the Senate to
lump at conclusions on the Coolie question.
Mr.. Stewards bill, which designs to restrict
the immigration of the Chinese by making
less liberal the law of contracts under which
it is conducted, was yesterday laid over by
the Senate in temper which lndlca'es
that the subject is to have further ana
fuller consideration. 1t is not question OF
politics. as some persons seemingly desire TO
make it. The industrial aspects OF Coohe
immigration are for the present OF para
mount importance, and what is needed
now is that Congress shall regulate that
immigration so as to secure us from the
imposition of hordes of paupers and unframed
laborers, and prevent the system OF contracts
as now recognized from degenerating as it
readily may, into a system of slavery. The
social and political aspects of the question do
not force themselves upon us to-day. They
may, however tomorrow, and the regulation
of the immigration now will put the country
in better condition to settle the other ques-
tons when they do present themselves.
