IHE House Committee on the District of
Columbia has approved Of the bill approp1.
ahng $500 eco towards the completion of
the Washington Monument. 1t arpear,
that the sum of $3.50 600 has already been
expended upon the work. that 1922 600 will
be required to complete the shaft, aud that
the entire cost Of the monument is estimated
at Sl.l2Z.o00. II would bs a reflection on
the patriotism OF the American people, to
express even doubt of their approval of
this appropriation by Congress to an object
which so nearly concerns the honor, liberali-
ty. aud pride Of the whole country.
During the last session of the Legislature
OF ibis State bill was introduced into III.
Liver branch, appropriating $40 600 for the
purpose of aiding to complete this mouu,
meht. The bill was never afterwards heard
of. OF course Legislature that could souan.
der thousands of dollars of the people's
money on such useless projects as Bates His
tory and other kindred corrup: jobs, could
DOT be expected to feel and appreciate the
patriotic duty of setting apart the paltry
sun "i $40 900 TO uerpetua,e the memory
and lame OF George Washington.
ihe monument ought to be com mpleted by
the w 'Untary contributions Of the people of
the whole Country. That plan has already
been tried and failed. for tie reason that
what is every mau's business will come 70 ho
10 .ked upon as no mans business T, :
right therefore that the representatives of III.
psnple should take the matter in charge, and
new that they have done SO. it is to be hoped
that the work will be steadily prosecuted to
,ompletion.

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. The admin

1T became the duty of the Connecticut
Legislature, now in session, to elect a Sena>
TOR OF the United States TO succeed Gen. q
B. Ferry, whose term of Office will expire On
the 4th Of March next. Gen. Ferry is r..
publican. but his course in the Senate has
been conser vatiye and fair, and fer that rea-
son alone he was repudiated by the radical
caucus and the nomination given to General
Hawley, a thick aud thin supporter of
Grants administration. The democrats he
ing IN a minority 10 the Legislature formed
a coalition with the republican mem bers who
were dissatisfied with Hawley's nomination
and at the election, which took place last
Wednesday. Hawley was defeated and Ferry
elected by vote of 1873 for Ferry to l25 for
Hawiey. This result shows what can be ef.
lected by union of democrats with liberal
republicans. Wherever it has been done on
ia'r and honorable terms, it hes uniformly
succeeded.

The Proposed Change in the Judi
ciary.

c1ary.
Our Charleston correspondent, "H. ,"
makes this morning q very lucid and
torclble comparison between the judiciary
system asit exists in the present Constitu.
ton and that proposed by the new. he
shows that the new will cost $10,616 a
year, or 3S per cent more than the old.
After his letter was written the pay Of
the Judges Of the Court Of Appeals was
raised $3.50, so'thats 81, 900 a year is to be
added, making the new judiciary cost
$11,61G more per annum than
the old, The appporti6lm Of the
circuits is grossly unequal and un.
fair, some having double the popu-
lation and business Of others. Then
again, sde county court system violates
one Of the fundamental principles Of Re.
publican government, which is that the
legislative and judicial departments Of
government shall be keptwholly separate.
We are to have county court and county
legislature in one. The same body is to
dispense justice and transact the fiscal
business Of the county. 1t will prove an
abortion for both purposes. s-
We do not believe that either in point
Of economy or Of efficiency the new ju.
dietary will be any Improvement on the
old. On the contrary, it will be more ex-
pensive and less efficient. ~:
There is one popularity in the compo-
sition of the Court of Appeals that seems
worth mentioning. 1t is to consist Of four
Judges. Where these divide evenly the
decision, Of the Court below, not being
reversed, Is of necessity affirmed; so that
no decision can be reversed except by
three out of the four Judges. 1t may
happen that a particular question will be
decided one way in one circuit and the
opposite way in another. An appeal is
taken in each case and the Court being
equally divided, each of the conflicting
decisions is affirmed and the question LETT
without decision at all. 70

Gratz BrOwn,s speech .at ETopekn.

ST. LOUIS, April 1.-THE Repu5ltcan
prints the speech Of Gov. Brown made in
the, Liberal Republican Convention at
Topeka last night. Gov. Brown boldly
ayows the rebellious character OF the
Cincinnati movement, and says instead
Of evading the challenges and rebukes for
It's irregularity, does not pretend TO be q
copy OF It's rival at PHILADELPHIA or else
where. Speaking of the cause that has
produced this revolt in the dominant
party he says ours is no longer a govern.
ment OF three coordinate branches, each
independent Of each and OF the others,
as our fathers framed, but within the
structure has been established another
government intangible to law, merging
all departments into one will, known
as the party and within the party has
been erected a despotism ruling all It's
memberships to Its own ordering known
as Executive fayors. The speech is de-
fiant in its assaults upon the attitude,
policy and character Of the administra.
ton party and gives some idea of the ma
ture Of the phases Of the campaign for its
overthrow about to be inaugurated.
