SECRETARY Cox ON JoHNsoN's AD-
MINIsTRATIoN.-The ex-Secretary of the
Interior, in his article on civil service re-
form in the North American Reuieao, says !:
{" During MIR. Johnson's administration,
it was notorious that duplicity of the most
shameless description was used in obtain
ing an appointment from one end of the
Avenue aud confirmation from the other.
To one who was at all acquainted with the
intrigues then rife at Washington, it is no
wonder that peculation had invaded every
department Of the administration, and
that maximum of taxation was pro-
ducing minimum of revenue. The con-
ditiou of things was one in which honesty
was a chimera and fraud was reaping its
harvest 1t was game of diamond cut
diamond in which the two parties were
using all their resources and refnements OF
intrigue to get the start of each other in
the control of the offices; while dishonest
incumbents were plundering the people
under the shelter of tenure-of-office act,
which seemed to be skillfully adapted to
remove every trace of responsibility from
both the appointing and confirming pow
ers.' -

A SINGULAR PREsENTMENT. - Thomas
Ewing, in referring to Surratts account
of the assassination of President Lincoln
says:
GA month before the assassination,
became impressed with the conviction thai
there would be an attempt to seize and
carry off Mr.. Lincoln and eor two active
members of his Cabinet There seemed
to me motives enough in the then desper-
ate condition of the Confederacy, and |
did not think the attempt by any means
desperate or even difficult. / accordingly
wrote to Stanton, expressing my appre-
hension, and advising him to look out for
a raid--saying that the President and he
might be seized, bound, gagged, carried
off in a market wagon at moderate pace,
while half dozen hacks driven furiously
in ether directions would confuse and elude
pursuit.
$50 far as the President was concerned,
this caution was unheeded, though Stan
ton seems to have been well enough guard
ed. l never feared assassination, and do
not believe it was ever within the pro-
gramme. T. EWING"

The Railroad War.

We suppose every body has read the vo-
luminous reports of the farce now going
on before committee Of the Legislature,
called an Investigation into the affairs of
the Alexandria and Fredericksburg rail-
road" The mountain seems to bein great
pain, and ought at least to bring forth two
mice-perhaps it may be delivered Of the
"three blind mice" which recently disap-
peared from the stage of our theatre, and
must have taken refuge somewhere about
the Capitol.
The public want to know, in voice of
thunder, "What's all this about!" and we
answer the public with Lightning swiftness,
accompanied by little mild thunder, eve
don't knowI but we half suspect there is
cat in the meal tubl' There have been
but poor pickings of late, and something
had to be done. A fat turkey has been
found and they viii pluck his feathers and
pick his bones, and thereby grow muchly
in flesh.
We are waiting further developments to
write up our own views about this "raid
into Pennsylvania"--this second advance
upon Gettysburg-and in the meantime
give what "Chester," the wide-awake and
intelligent correspondent of the Petersburg
Inde1, thinks about the matter. We ex-
tract from his letter of yesterday:
The Investigation into the affairs of the
Alexandria and Fredericksburg Railroad COM
pany commenced before the House Committee
of Roads, &c., last evening. Both sides were
represented by counsel, Raleigh 7. Daniel and
Judge Robert Ould for the prosecutors, the
Richmond and Fredericksburg company, and
Judge Hunter Marshal for the defence. The
Richmond and Alexandria Railroad company
gave the very best evidence OF the honesty
Of their purposes and the justice of their
cause by bringing from Philadelphia, with
out the Jurisdiction of any subpoena or writ
of the committee, their books to invite and
offer the very fullest scrutiny in their acts and
Intentions That the manner OF their organi-
cation was net above censure, in some respects,
none will deny or attempt to contradict, but
that is no sufficient reason for rival corpora
| tion endeav oring to prevent the construction
of an all-rail line from this city to Washington.
Our people are at this very moment enduring
the most serious Inconvenience by reason OF
this half and half, water and rail mode OF con-
veyance, and while they probably know little
| and care less about these railroad companies
that are fighting each other, they are interest
1 ed in seeing an all-rail line built, and any
| finale that accomplishes this end will please
them,

The Theatre. the theatre last
night and glancing around at the empty boxes,
we came to the conclusion that there was
"slim show" there, and consequently we should
have a simmer one on the stage, and in this
we we're not disappointed. The performance
was wholly inadequate even to the small audi
ence present. Theatrical managers and actors
make a great mistake when they slur and
| sloven things because the house is poor. That
| is the surest way TO break down theatre.
The few present are always advertisers, and
good ones too; and as they pay their money they
are entitled to the best the theatre can afford.
If they go away dissatisfied, they are sure to
spread the contagion among the public, and
immense injury Is done. 1t should be the cus-
| tom to play IL there is but one spectator, as
well as il the house were crammed. 1t Was
| most dreary performance. First,~ we had .
repetition of Mr.. Dalton's readings from Ten
nyson, to which,we had been called upon to
listen the previous night. He reads well, but
then it was very tiresome. Nobody bad come
TO hear it, and all were restive under the in
Fiction, which, like Banquo's progeny in the
witches cave, we thought would have strung
out to the crack of doom. Before he half
way came to the point Of calling Maud
into the garden, we mentally asked our
selves, "Whst has Richmond done that
these accumulated Affections should be heap
ed upon her people ?" We mean no els.
respect to Mr.. Dalton, for whose drs-
matte powers we have the highest admira-
tion but, in future, when he reads Tennyson
to such an audience we beg him "to cut it
short" The only ser cations Of pleasure we ex-
perienced during the tNening, were when those
favorites Of the Richmond public, Sallie and
Mary Partington appeared in their Pas dc
Deur; the 'itte sprite' Zoe sung ard danced
in her own queer, quick style; and the infant
Adele and Master Ignacio danced the miniature
"Can-Can." As for the " Red Gnome"-to |
call it a =" farce" would be misnomer. Then
that horrid advertising sheet of curtain
ugh 1t gives us chill every time |
it comes down. Just to think of the taste of |
such thing Why it aloneis enough to drive
people from the theatre. Imagine some grand |
finale OF some grand opera, just finished with |
burst of music that fairly stills the audience |
in trance of delight, and that advertising
sheet descending upon It'll 1t is splendid to |
bring one back from dreamland to the reali- |
ties Of life, with its railroads, insurance com.
panies, oyster saloons and apothecary shops |

nightmare of posters. tDrop that filthy ragp

AS l stroll thoughtfully along the boule
wards aud browse among the book shops
I am constantly reminded of what
thought among the ruins of Pompeii
| Now as then, here as there, material splen.
dor and vicious indulgence fiourished side
by side. But here the latter has been con-
cealed under the iron hand of power. The
bideous monster which in the Second
Empire was compelled to observe certain
amount of reticence aud seoresy, is now
stalking abroad under and fattening upon
the "liberty, equality and fraternity Of
the present irreproachable regime.
The most grossly obscene books are ex-
posed upon the boulevards for sale, and
cried by women and children on the
streets. | may not even give the title of
these vile publications but they cannot
be left without mention by any one who
cares to be a careful chronicler of the crisis
and its causes. And will say that in the
concoction of some of these caricatures
and pamphlets the author has descended
to tbe very lowest depths of loathsome in
decency. / have seen caricatures of the
Empress to-day, which, ! am sure, could
not be tolerated on the streets of any city
of Turkey or Hindoostan.
In the smuttiest shop window of the
most unfrequented streets of the most
licentious cities of Italy or Spain, you will
see nothing so loathsome, vile, and brutal
as the pictures saw, one hour ago, dealt
out to merry purchasers on the boulevards,
by an equally merry young woman of
about 1s years, and pretty and unblush-
ing face. l am determined to believe that
English speaking Chrstendom could not
furnish even the street strumpet who
could hand such picture az that to man
without a recoil of nature or change Of
complexion.
And this is not an exceptional spectacle.
1t is to be seen from one end to the other
of the Boulevards, and of a dozen other of
the most frequented thoroughfares. The
best dressed men and women join the
crowd that presses up to gaze long and
with an admiring relish upon these filthy
creatures. Books make their appearance
in the shop windows which heretofore
were concealed under the shop counters,
and engravings which formerly were only
shown to the initiated, are now within
reach of lads and lasses who accompany
their mamma or the servant
A very respectable (7) shopkeeper said
to me, "Let me show you how rapidly we
are progressing" and pulling out carte
de visite he said s'Look on the back of
it! That is the name of the most fas-
tidious Photographic establishment in the
city. Before the war they would prose-
cute the man who charged them with pub
fishing such picture, and even upon
cartes of the most ordinary departure from
decorum they would not put their name.
Then, as to selling any shop that should
be caught selling such picture as this,
would have been closed and its proprietor
punished"

Le, a Little Justice be Done.

We are glad to note disposition on 'n'
part of the Legislature to rerder at least
little Justice to the coored people OF the
State. The resolution introduced by MT
Ragsdale, is certainly both modest ano
moderate in its demands. 1t does not ask
for all the rights to which his raceis clear
ly entitled by law, but simply for por'
tiou thereof; and not even that, when we
come down to plain terms; for SO far from
demanding justice it is an appeal to our
humanity. Ought we not to be ashaTed oil
ourselves, and blush when we are adj
dressed as gentlemen, while we can treat
womea as Mr.. Rassdale has represented
them to be treated on our public convey
ances Where is the. respect we have for
these "old mammys," who suckled us
when young-"who ran to help us when
we fell, and kissed the spot to make it
WE'LL" when we can eject them from cars
in which we oursel YES now ride, and force
them into such british associations as are
to be met with but too frequently in our
second-class cars, there to be insulted and
abused7 Why should these colored wo-
men be prevented from riding in any car ?
We do not object to them in our houses.
There they dress "my ladys hair, or rather
comb out her chignon, and deck her
out for ball, party, opera or rout. They
are the cherished companions of our child
rem ,--and in sickness are our tender
nurses. On the street, and in the busy
marts of the city. we are in daily con-
tact with them and is a public railway
car so sacred above all these, that even the
old colored woman may not ride in one
where the lady rides, whom, perhaps, in
infancy she nourished at her breast 2 Out
upon such morbid and mawkish sensitive
ness. We swallow camels and yet strain
at gnats. Why. before the war, we never,
in the South, heard any gentleman or lady
urge the slightest objection to riding in the
same vehicle with any colored woman.
But if prejudice has become SO strong
against the race, growing out of their
emanc patton, that we cannot ride in the
same conveyance with them, and as this
appears to be peace offering, which does
credit alike to their modesty and their
moderation, we think the Legislature
ought certainly to grant the request nay,
it should do more. The railroad COM
panies should be required to give them a
car, furnished in all respects as
as that in which the " white
folks ride, for the same fare.
Our own opinion still is that time will
cure all the ills of which the colored race
complain that in very few years they
will come to be treated just as other folks,
and that their appearance in any place
will excite neither surprise, indignation |
nor remark but until then they shall
continue to practice that highest of vir-
tues-Patience.

The Monument erected by the people Of
Richmond to the memory of DR.. Lawrence
Roane Waring, and which now stands over
bis remains in the Monroe Circle in Hollywood
cemetery, is justly regarded as one Of the
handsomest in those grounds, and no less an
honor to the philanthropist whose memory it
is intended to perpetuate than it is creditable
to the committee whose taste originated the
design, which the artist has so ably carried
out in finishing up the monument. Nothing
more appropriate than it could have been con-
ccived or carried into execution.

How Prince salm sal,n Met HIS Death,

How Prince Salm Salm Met His Death.
When l wrote and published in the
Eoening Mail, few weeks ago, some para
graphs of "reminiscences of ''The Salm
Salms," nothing but the brief words an
nouncing his death had been transmitted
across the cable; but am now in possess
sion of some interesting facts concerning
the events which eliminated in his death
on the battlefield of Gravelotte. 1t is
well known that he had most enthusi-
astic attachment for the unfortunate Maxi
milan, and counted it a high honor to
share his captivity in Mexico. The fate
of that ill-starred Emperor, whose soul
was as chivalrous as his judgment was
weak. provoked in him an almost phren-
zied desire to mete out vengeance to his
French betrayers. at Bazaine's door he,
in great part, laid all Maximilian's misfor-
tunes, and he was mad to meet him and
reckon with him.
During the years that elapsed between
the downfall OF the empire in Mexico and
the breaking out of the present war these
feeling burned within him with unabated
ardor. Joyfully he hailed the prospect of
hostilities between France and Germany,
and more joyfully still, when the time
came, did he press forward among the
foremost to offer his services to assailed
Germany. The Princess Agnes, who has
always been as one with him in his way of
thinking and acting, went as gladly with
him to the battlefield, and took upon her.
self the trying duties of nurse in field
hospital. The last words that he spoke to
any one just before leaving Berlin for the
front were to the effect that it was his DEAR
est wish, as soldier, to die in defending
Germany from France, but that if he might
add another-still dearer, because more
personal-it would be that he might meet
Bazaine face to face, and, with avenging
shouts of "Maximillian !" "Queretaro p
press loaded revolver to the traitors
breast.
When, on the 10th of August, in conse-
quepce Of the defeat at Woerth, Bazalne
took the chief command of the French
army, and the German guards were drawn
up facing him, Prince Salm-Sslm exposed
himself SO recklessly that the other COM
manding officers expostulated earnestly
with him, He was then trying 70 cut his
way up to Bazaine, and instead of needing
them he merely looked over his shoulder,
displaying countenance which, naturally
ruddy, was now inhamed by terrible and
reyengeful feelings, he cried out
"Ahl you cannot understand how |
feel-you who have but country to pro-
tect But I, in addition to this, have to
avenge the death of my Emperor, who was
also my friend"
Saying this, he held on in his rash and
headiong course, and in few minutes was
struck by fragment of shell, which in
flicted mortal wound. He dropped
swiftly and silently, and was carried at
once in the arms of his men, to the very
place where his wife was ministering to
the wounded, and shortly afterwards died
with his head on her bosom.
Maximilian | Queretarol" Doubtless,
for poor Carlotta's sake, if for no other
the avenging cry will not die away all at
| once.
