There are those who viii construe Bis
marck'S failure to pass jules Favre to Lon
don to attend the Conference as refusal to
recognize the French Republic. But 1t must
not be forgotten that NJ. Favre had previously
declared that an invitation to take part in the
Conference would be a recognition of the
Republic and hence no alternative was left
but to decline to pass him out of Paris. The
Prlssian Premier will certainly be in no haste
to recognize the Republic that resists him,
while it is very probable that he viii gladly
recognize any government which secures him
much coveted peace and the repayment of his
war eXDenSpS.

The price of a fiogging out West seems to
he governed by sliding scale whose principle
is not easily understood. When Miss Lydia
Thompson horsewhipped the editor of The
Chicago Times, she had to- pay for that pryi
lege a round hundred dOllars-indeed we are
not sure that it was not more. When Mr..
Murat Halstead punched the head of MIR.
Lavender, the other day in Cincinnati, the
performance was dirt cheap at twenty-fiye
dollars, and we don't believe Mr.. Lavender
would take another like it for twice the money.
These two cases tend to show that discrim-
nation il exercised in favor of the press. and
that in the eye of the law it isjust four times
as wrong for You to fog an editor as for an
editor to fog you. But what are we to think
of the following instance just reported Mt
Chicago Mrs. Mills, widow and keeper of
genteel boarding house, event forn Mr..
Knapp, a Methodist minister, because he had
asked another lady TO 20 with him to hear

The Senate wasted much time and many
words yesterday over bill to relieve them
selves of opportunities which are their chief
delight and which they have not any idea of
doing away with. A Senator without official
patronage would seem to himself about as unim-
portant parsonage as Washington holds. The
discussion is parade of virtue which the people
will gladly dispense with, for their knowledge
of human nature forbids them to think these
Senatorial protestat0ns of reform genuine.

Our esteemed neighbOr The Daily BiatheSkite, has
somewha, 10 say of Christian Charity and the
Divine Bencfcence a. illustrated in its accounts of
the clothes ladies when they say their prayers
at the churches hOnored by The Baih6skies reports
It's religious professions prOfu5e-albet tritle
late in life-that could wish they had shown
more reverence TO Etymology and Syntax. What
does our ncghbOr mean, for instance by blending
differences with peryadng bond" Bonds don't
blend. Nor do they peryade. They bind. Surely
our contemporary might have known this without
having worn handcutf given mortgage
Again: What does The Blaiheskite mean by "wido
and straight comprehensiyeness of scopep Com
prebensivenessp whatever the hidden and unsus-
pected attributes OF that embracing and involving
adjective is not straight and we shall require
siderable evidence to persuade that ii is wide.
These loose methods of exposition and embellish-
ment do not beft the journal which has bespoken
the Pope as a contributor. That august parsonage
is known, like Petrarch To be very touchy points
OF Etymology. What would the reverend pontiff say
il lie found himself the literary ally Of newspaper
which describes itself "eleyating the press to
prccedented sublimity by making it +" handmade"
10 heal wounds and weld something or other
into AN undivided democracy and IAN imposing
manifestation of the most sacred impulses of human
ity" 1t is likelythat he would temperately admon-
ISL his vigorous but uninstructed coaduOr that 1t
does not elevate anything To unprecedented submi-
ty to make of ii handmade: that it is not the office
of landmarks to heal things or weld things, and
that the ascription to them i'll leading article OF
such irregular and dscordan powers would be calcu-
lated not only to mslead the bewldered intelligence
Of the reader but to the handmade herself to
perSpire with unprecedented submity"

The Democratic party, not to say the whole
country, has been for some time in a highly
uncomfortable state of mind respecting an ap-
preaching vacancy III the Office of Senator from
Delaware The Hon. Willard Salisbury, who
has adorned Congress for so many years will
retire to private life on the 4th of March. The
Hon. Cove Salisbury, who was Governor of
the State, has retired to private life already.
The loss Of two Saulsburys-especially when
Willard was one of thcm-seemed to be more
than a small commonwealth Ike that could
bear. Delaware has no conception of states
manship outside the family of Salisbury
except in the family of Bayard. She has
always been particularly proud OF Willard.
He has been not exactly one of the steadiest
pillars of the nation, but one of the most con-
spicuous ornaments of the Capitol. Nobody
could forget Delaware so long as he was Sem
ator. OF course there was motion to reelect
him. At the first ballot in the Democratic
caucus he had 10 votes out of 30. AT
the third he had Il against 10. No
doubt he would have been nominated
if the opposing candidates had not been his
own brothers. Nobody can beat Salisbury
in Delaware except another Salisbury. In this
case Willard was pitted against Cove, who had
fourteen supporters, and Eli who had two, and
the contest is said to have been animated and
acrimonious in the last degree, until Willard,
resolved that Cove should not triumph at all
events, added his own fourteen to Ellis brace,
and the struggle was over. Brother Eli is said
to be an eminent member of the Methodist
Church. Willard is not that exactly, but he
has been an eminent example of Democratic
principles and practices, and the party Will
feel lost without him. AT any rate his fall has
been dignified and hOnOTable-wh is more
than can be said Of some OF his falls.

1t is difficult to decide whether the "Sub-
"sidy sChemers" or the "Land grabbersn are
the more impudent beggars. Yesterday the
latter asked for no fewer than 100000 acres
Of the public domain, while single bill for
steamship line appealed for subsidies to the
amount Of $4,000 year. We could better
locate and house a very respectable population
on these lands and with this amount of money.
