TIE CATACAZY AFFAIR.--That staid,
sober aud dgnfiod journal, the New York
Journal IF Commerce, thus al'udcs to that
portion Of the Presidents Message which
relates to the Catacazy affair:
Whatever may be thought of the con-
dnct Of Mr. Catacazy and the measure of
hi, guilt in the quarrel between him and
the persons aud families Of some of the
Washington officials, there is but one
opinion, we believe, among intelligent
critics of all parties as to the want Of
good taste in the introduction of his tame
in the Presidents Message. As the Dis
putc was chiefly personal, and grew en-
tirel y out Of an unseemly squabb'e between
those members of the social circle Nos
necessarily recognized in diplomatic rea-
tons (temale jealousy of pretty woman
lying at the bottom of it) it would have
been wise, We think, under the circum-
stances, to have omitted all reference to it
in prominent State paper. But if the
President felt so sore about it that he
could not iorbear IA parting shot at the
retiring diplomat, he would have given it
much additional dignity if he had sup
pressed the name"

THE DELEGATEsHIp.-A view from

" neutral out look
The contest for Territorial Delegate at
the next June election, promises to be
interesting To u neutral spectator the
situation between men and parties stands
about thus OF the Republican party,
two,hirds of the leading spirits seem to
prefer Garlielde, with the other portion of
the party is hustle to his claims beyond
compromise. AS the party has no "surc
thing" without modifying II portion of this
sore headed minority, there is feeling to
pitch Garlieldc overheard for the sake of
peacc'-but the rub is, as yet, nobody
can be pitched upon who might unite the
dscordant elements; in fact, the berth for
compromise candidate is going begging |!
The Democrats have no hope for carrying
the Territory by square dash against the
" silver tonyucd" or any other single. can
,dida,c; but being strong and intact
minority, they have Judge McFaddcn
booted and spurred, ready for Il handicap
with Garfeldc, should he run with dead
weight of the hostile faction This is the
neutral out look Of Territorial politics..

TIE New DIspENsATIoN.-T Rad
ical Governor of Texas, in order to con-
form to the principles and policy of the
Republican party, has declared martial
law in two counties of that State, and is
levying contributions on the citizens. In
some States they issue few millions Of
bonds in IL quiet way, and divide the
proceeds, rs in South Carolina, and then
have the civil law set aside by the Prcsi
dent, which prevents, until too late,
proper investigation. In other cases, as
in Texas, they take the peoples money by
force, without the expense of negotiating
bonds. In other States as in Minnesota,
Radical Governors refuse to sign bills until
they are paid for it, aud in others they
appropriate the school funds as in Ne
braska. Before the A ADMINISTRATION came
to the rescue of these gentlemen by
procaiming martial law. it was the custom
to impeach Il Governor for crime, unless
he fled the country like Bullock OF Geor-

THE ALABAMA CLAIMs.-Th Herald S
Washington special says it now appears to
have been discovered that the British
Government completely outwit,ed the ad-
ministration in that part of the Treaty of
Washington providing for the appoint,
meut of arbitrator, aud that decision al.
verse to the position and interests Of the
United States will be the result Of the Ge-
neva Conference, as only two Of the arbi.
traitors are friendly to a Republican form OF
Government. 1t is said that the upshot
will be re.opening of the alabama dis
pute. The Spanish Government is anxious
to bring about Il complication Of this kind,
and is supposed to favor England's nom
liability for the escape of the alabama
because she desires to hold the United
States responsible for the escape of the
Cuban privateers and protection given to
the Hornet aud Florida This whole sub
ject will be ventilated in the House in
few days when the alabama claims will
come up for discussion.

1t appears. however, tina, ia that State. As
well as everywhere else, speculation aud
robbing is not confined to one county or
u single department, Of Federal, State
or municipal government. Wherever the
Republican party is entrusted with power
the result is invariably the some.
The latest instance of Radical theft is
that of Same. +. May, late Secretary of
the State o! Oregon, aud Radical noted
for his loyal zeal for the c,usc and devotion
to the party. A late Grand Jury Of
Marion county found five indictments
against him for stealing from as many
separate funds belonging to the State
The first is for larceny Of S3,549, from the
fund arising from the sale of IT, s. public
lands; second, larceny of 81 ,S75, from the
five per cent fund third, embezzlcmcnt Of
the proceeds of the sale Of 742 copies of
the Code, S4,452 fourth, larceny of
81 ,lj2 from fund arising from sale of
School and University lands fft!, larceny
of S2,G35, paid to May on account Of
Insane Asylum. These lhefts amount in
the aggregate to over $4,000, and this is
not all, as Nays accounts were found to
have been kept in such manner as to
afford no accurate means of determining
the amount Of his detalcatons. 1t is
supposed. however, that subsequent devcl-
opmcnts will increase the loss to the State
to full $4,000. These investigations are
said to likewise implicate Gov. Wood, if
not as accessory at lc,st as having some
knowledge Of the transactions while it was
yet in his power to hold May accountable
for his crimes
Gov. Grover has issued rc1nisition for
May, who is in Utah, with his master
Woods, and soon. doubtless, he will be
brought back to the State to answer to the
crimes for which he stands charged.
