Reform ILLUSTRATED.
matter up

1. Mr.. E. V. Smalley was for six or seven
years clerk of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs.
9. Two years ago, with full knowledge OF
this fact THE TRIBUNE hired Mr.. S. to do
some work at Washington and elsewhere at
such times az did not interfere with the faith
full discharge of his official duties. We PAID
him in full for all he did for us, as we still
pay him, and not one penny moro or less
because of his official engagement as clerk,
with which we had no wish to interfere.
8. Upon the receipt of the news of MIR. Gree
ley's nomination at Cincinnati, Gen. JOIN CO.
burn of Indiana, Chairman of the Committee
aforesaid, dismissed Mr.. Sy1alley from the
public service without consulting his c6mem-
bers of that Committee. He did not require
Mr.. S. to choose between our service and that
Of the Government did not require him to
give more time to his oincc.,.H.l duties, dld not
| charge him with any neglect of duty-he simply
kicked him out, evidently under the miscon-
ception that he was somehow spiting The
| TRIBUNE.
| The Evening Post approves this act, and
regards our objection to it as proving us
of comprehendng it. TO make its point, The
Post mistakenly asserts that
"As correspondent OF newspaper, 1t was Mr..
smalley's duty TO send TO NewYork for publication
everything that he learned confdenialy through his
position in the Committeeman. He received regular
salary from THE TRIBUNE to disclose the secrets of tho
Government"
If The Post had some practical knowledge
either of newspapers or Congress it would be
ashamed to say this. If Mr.. Smalley had ever
been guilty of such breach of trust, he would
have deserved instant and ignominiOus expul-
sion. lie is as incapable of it as is the Editor
of The Post, and great deal more incapable
of the shameful libel The Post has wantonly
perpetrated VIII it either retract or try to
justify it
By the way what does The Times have to
say on The Posts general doctrine concerning
newspaper service and Committee Clerkships 7

TIE TREATY TROUBLE AGAIN.

Tbs Administrator is so unfortunate tina,
~ is imnGssible to restrain feeling of SYM
pathy for it. Nothing it does comes TO good
end. 1t certainly made desperate effort to
save the Washington Treaty. 1t allowed Lord
Granville to dictate his own terms for its
capitulation, and sent the supplemental arti> ia
to the Senate just as it came from his uands.
The Senate, with an ;ncongruous and mis.
placed sense of duty and dignity, thought
they had the right to say something about
matter of which they had s5 suddenly been made
the aroiters' m" took the liberty of chang
ing ID phraseology of the article, but, as all
the dispatches from Washington agree, not
materially altering the sense of the instrument.
1t is clear that neither Mr.. Fish nor the
President imagined there was anything
in the changes which could possibly give UNI
bragg to the British Government; for we have
been informed of their expansive joy and
mutual congratulations when the vote Of the
Senate was made known to Them Their in
spired organs played lively and cheerful tunes
also, and rewarded with ungrateful inso-
lence the efforts THE TRIBUNE had made
to keep the Cabinet and Senate from
compromising their self-respect for nothing.
But the exultatiOn appears to have been pre-
mature. The peaceful garlands of Monday
were withered on Wednesday. Washington
is full of dismal rumOrs that the British
Ministry is gravely displeased that the Senate
should have dared to NEEDLE with their
parts of speech. We certainly imagined
we had bowed low enough, but Lord Gran
Vile does not like the fashion of bowling. We
must get up and bow again, is the whisper
about the Executive Mansion and the Senate
House. We cannot imagine Lord Granville
and Mr.. Gladstone any more inclined to listen
to good advice than our own rulers, bus
somebody ought to tell them that even Mr..
Fish and Gen. Grant may be pushed too far.
Our rulers have seemed to think that the
good pleasure of England is more to be con-
suited than any considerations of American in
terests OF self respect. But there is an cleo.
ton coming on, and they really cannot afford
to keep up the present attitude much longer.

The Tichborne claimant, being out of prison. IL
going about making speeches, and We have report OF
one delivered at Alresford which began in this con-
fident way: " Ny friends, tenants, and nelghbos"
Certainly this claim will not suffer for lack of per-
sistent iteration. You knew me- said the self
STYLED Sir Roger, " in former days, and know / am
not an impostor villain, a scoundrel, as branded
by the Attorney General" There is something
almost staggering in the appeals which tho man
made, such as: Il have been continually with you
who knew me in former days, and yet no one hero
has ventured to call me impostor, except the con-
nections of my family who are interested in "
doing" And then how simply forcible is the in
quiry: "Is my mothers evidence and my solicitors
to be ignored because lord comes forward and
swears that be tattooed me p And so the speaker
concluded with hoping the time would shortly come
when che should live among them again. 1t is q
noteworthy fact that the tenants on the estates
seem thoroughly to believe in the business OF this
extraordinary claim but it is probably one of those
which will never be satisfactorily settled. Half the
world will continue to believe the man to be Sir
Roger. and the other moety will cherish contrary
opinion It's something like the case OF the Sian III
the Iron Mask, OF OF Louis AVllth over again.
