All of yesterday was spent by the House of
Representatives in wrestle with the new
Tariff bill. Nothing was accomplished when
the day was ended. The wide divergence of
opinions on the Tariff could not be better illus
trated than by the confusion worse COMPOUNDED
that reigned in the House during the session.
After vain attempt TO reconcile the irrecOn-
cileable, the members actually adjourned in

An article by Judge Hannay, in The Kansas Maya
cine, gives the origin of the word "Jayhawkers" as
used in Kansas history. In 1856. an individual
named Pat Devlin was seen entering the village Of
Ossawotomie in Miami County. He was riding 20
mule and loaded with no incOnsiderable amount OF
plumber. "You look if you had been out on an
excursion said some one TO him. Yes" said Pat.
4" II have been out jayhawking." Pat then explained
that the jayhawker was bird in Ireland which
warned its prey before devouring it. From this
little incident sprang the of the word; and we
put the origin on record, 70 save from unnecessary
trouble the bothered philoogists OF the next age.

Tie Buffalo Commercial knows no better than
to say of Mr.. Greeley that
few weeks ago. he declared in 80 many words that
the Cincinnati Platform must not speak with any uncer
tain voice regard TO the Tariff He stated that he
regarded the Protection OF American Industry para
mount to almost every other issue before the American
people He must, therefore, be counted OUT said THE
TRIBUNE the Convention does not up to the mark
on the Tariff"
Considering how plainly THE TRIBUNE has
over and over again declared that it wished to
raise no issue on the Tariff question, but only
asked that Republicans be allowed freely and
frankly to differ on Protection and Free Trade,
as they ever have done, it must be said that
such paragraphs as that above quoted give
melancholy impression as to the capacity of
some minds to apprehend the simplest truth.

In San Francisco court Mrs. Zablowsh asked to
be divorced from her husband, basing her petition
upon his habitual of opium which incapacitated
him for business and the support of his family The
bill was brought under the statute allowing divorce
for intemperance, but the Court ruled that the i'm
moderate use of opium is not intemperance within
the meaning Of the statute. Perhaps not but Judge
Dwnelle need not have supported his ruling by say
ing that contrary decision would lead to divorces
for intemperance in eating or any ;ordinafy habits
of life" If a divorce should be granted on account
of dram-drinklng, it should equally be granted for
opinm-chewing. Eating too much has nothing TO
do with the matter

Another excuse for delay in the final publ
cation of the New-Orleans Investigation
Committee has been found Enough of it has
already leaked out to make the sacrifice of
Collector Casey necessary, and, as if to en-
large the value of that concession to public
opinion, the removal of his deputy, Hewins,
is also announced. This is mere fetch, for
a Deputy Collectors term does not out
last that of his principal. But, although this
has been done on account of the damaging
uature of the Committees report, it is now
told that more testimony Is to be taken. This
will postpone the revelations which are so
much dreaded and if the whole affair can be
put off until Congress is out Of the way, the
report may sleep securely until after next No

THE MAIE ARGUMENT FOR

The assumption that the country

ploved. ard It's business in sati~fac-
tory coniition-therefore, re.elect

gument for Monarchy \ man is

cession to his heirs. on purpose that
turmoil aud hazard may be avoided.
Il grant you. says the monarchiet,
- that il looks absurd to see re-
nowneI statesmen and generals pay
ing homage to an infant in It's
cradle. as their Iiege lord; but here
,litary rule has been found by exp"
rience to insure the greatest general
quiet and the greatestrNvmntlon from
perturbation and anarchy. 1t in
wolves fewer risks than Any form or
fashion of popular rule. Thousands

The argument for a Second Term
would serve heetter for third: and
still better for a fourth. Il is never
exhausted. admit that things are
not Just right now, will change
of rule be sure to improve them?
Nothing human is perfect; better
bear the Ills we know than fly to
others not now visible. but which
may prove far more formidable" So
monarchists reason. ami the Two
Term men follow closely in their
footsteps.
The Republican conception is.
radically different. 1t holds that as.
moving water is kept pure, while a
stagnant pool breeds maisma, so
passing power from hand to hand is
a safeguard against corruption and
tyranny The gigantic frauds which
last year startled New York only be
came possible after a few men had
impregnably intrenched themselves
in power. Had they not been able
to elect and re-elect themselves, mil
lions would have been saved.
Zach of the great parties that have
successively ruled this country has,
through its most eminent statesmen,
borne emphatic testimony to the
truth that a President of the
United States should not be eligible
to reelection while welding the
power and patronage of his great
Office. But for George Washington's
peerless qualities, the Federal Con-
stitution would have restricted each
President to asinG.e term. That Con-
stitution viii yet be SO amended as
to achieve this end.

IT HURTS.

The Nashville Banner is nothing if not
selfconeeited. But it is blessed with bad
memory and often falls into traps set for it.
Thus it accuses this paper Of 'garbling from
the editorials of the Bonner during the
Stokes-Senter campaign to show what the
Bonner was" and complains that we did
not 'tgive their eontexts fairly" by publish
ing the editorials entire. Nearly three
years ago we published the extracts which
the Banner now pronounces "garbled," to-
gether with others, "to show what the
Banner was" and our contemporary sac
cepted the situaGon," (see the Banner,
Aug. "a, 1S69,) as follows:

A DIsAPPOINTED KENTUCKY OF.
FICE.sEEHER.

On the 9TH inst. the Frankfort Common
1reait, the Radical organ at the capital Of
Kentucky, suspended publication. after an
existence of nearly forty years. We believe
this step was taken by the editor and pro
prietor, Col. a. G. Hodges, in preference to
supporting Grant for reelection. About
month ago a letter from Col. Hodges 10
Gen. Burbridge, written in May, 1870. was
published, in which the former gave an ac-
count Of his treatment by Grant as follows:
Il was foolish enough some short time
ago, at the earnest solicitation Of many of
the prominent Republicans Of this revenue
district, To permit my name 10 be proposed
for Collector, in the event of Colonel KeI-
ly's resignation, and was more foolish in
permitting them to prevail upon me 10 90
on TO Washington to present their recon-
mendatiOns TO the President ami to Mr..
DelanO. Mr.. Delano received me blaudIy.
and was pleased to inform me that there
were so many good men recon-
mended for the place, it was diff
cult for the President and himself
TO select between US, when | have 10
doubt both himself and the President were
at the time under pledge Of promise TO
Mr.. Belknap, the Secretary of War, to give
the place to Mr.. Bowman, the brotheT-in-
law OF Mr.. Secretary Belknap. As for see
ing the President, that privilege was denied
me, after two or three applications, by the
Presi tents very disting Iished brother-im-
law, Gen. Dent, who l believe, occupies the
position Of head usher to President Grant.
No, no, my dear sir, you have misconceived
my character, if you suppose | would ac-
cept any position under this Administla-
ton, after such treatment from Mfr. Delano
and President Grant"
We have in this brief extract an insight
into the character Of Grant which time has
fully confirmed.

A QUARREL WITH .THEPEopLE.

The Nashville Banner does not impugn
the accuracy of our extracts a few days
since from its editorials of the Stokes SEN
ter campaign. On the contrary, while
claiming that the extracts represent its po-
sition only imperfectly, it confirms oJE
charges, CuTiOusly enough, in this fashion:
''The organ dares not publish entire the
editorials which it garbles-it has not the
honesty TO give their cOntexts fairly, for il
would show its readers that the BaRaer
was actuated by no other impulse and hope
than the deliverance of the DISTINGUISHED
people, through a Liberal Republican Legs
latUre pledged TO State Convention. If
the UNION AND AMERICAN was opposed 70
that, why did it not say its say Hel, in 4
manly way, and not hold itself in reserve
until after its deliverance, to advertise that
1t had only been playing sneak all the
while?
We preferred deliverance through De-
mOcratic and Conservative Legislature,
that would represent the people OF Tennes-
see. That we We're Outspoken in the mat
ter the Banner well knows from its files:
and the world knows that the people adopt
ed our plan and carried it out, in the teeth
of the Banners rhetoric. We put our can
didates in the field, and elected them, right
here in the Nashville district. Liberal
Republicans as the term is now applied,
did not then exist.
We still think the Legislatures of 1869
and 1871 have suited Tennesseeans better
that the Banners "Liberal Republicans
of that day could have done. Our contem-
porary is evidently displeased with the peo-
pie for repudiating its pet scheme, and pre-
ferring selEgoyernment through really rep
resentative men. To speak of the policy
actually pursued by our people as "plsying
sneak is not very complimentary to Ten
nesseeans, nor is it calculated to win them
over to any novel and utterly unnecessary
experiment in State politics.
