EtnACK-LOG STUDIES"

In this unique series Of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner, au-
thor Of MY Summer in a Garden, is doing his
best work. Here we have-in,a pleasant fiction
of talking group in front of an old fashioned
country back-log-philosophi suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits OF de-
seription, social out-looks-and, enlivening all,
fresh. crisp, yet juicy and delicious humor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day" The Boston Transcript says that "tor
dsicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best Of
things in their way" The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No, III. "renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formanees that we have in him a humorist of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. Mail says it is the ''best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
a day. and the Boston Commercial Butlstin
says: "BACK-LOG STUDIES constitute de-
cided hit in magazine literature" Another OF
these delightful papers will appear in the April
number of SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, which
will be for sale by all booksellers and newsdeal-
ers. u year, 50 cents number.

THE decision of the ESecretary of the
Treasury, that the salaries of the President
of the United States and of the judges of
the United States Supreme court are not
liable to the income tax, is based on the
ground that the compensation of the Presi-
dent and the judges of the supreme and
inferior courts can neither be increased nor
diminished during their continuance in
Office, according to the language of the con-
stitution.

We have lived and do live under Radi-
cal President, and experience but little in
convenience from the pressure of his rule.
His hand is withheld from US, and we do
not feel the weight of his power; but we
could not live in Virginia with the State
government in the hands of the Radical
scum and rif-raff which constantly menaces
our peace.-EnqW1er.
These two confessions deserve passing
notice. We are happy to learn from such
an authoritative source as the Enquirer,
that the weight Of Federal usurpation rests
so lightly on the neck of Virginia. Our
ears have been accustomed to different
"braying of the political mortar" and we
were hardly prepared for the confession
that there is so little inconvenience from
the pressure of General Grants rule in
the State. But the confession is made.
and we have no desire to question its
gennineness. or the sincerity Of the mo-
tive which prompted it. 1t undoubtedly
required some moral courage to make it,
and this feature of the confession renders
it all the more honorable and
praiseworthy in the coufessor. We
admire man who can be just
to his political opponent, at the same time
that he is true to himself and his own par
ty convictions. We do not find such men

respect and confidence.

sary to q complete outfit for GENTLEMEN,

every day in the year, nor are they by any
means too common or numerous in this
section of the country. The Enquirer has
undergone some improvement in this re-
spect Of late, and we will not stint our
commentator where it may be so deserv-
edly bestowed.
But while we may warmly commend
the first confession, the second one is alto
gether Of more questionable character
1t is more of an accusation, in fact, than
confession, which mars its beauty as
forrnulary of faith. Confession should be
simple, and, in matters of political and re-
liglous admission, free from avoidance
Shakespeare is authority for saying, that all
craft and malice should keep aloof in mat
tiers of confession. They are foreign to the
simple issue of ones faith. Had our con-
temporary frankly confessed that it could
not live under Republican administration
Of our State government-that its mortifi-
cation would be too great for its proud and
unyielding spirit to endure--we should
have responded 'amen" to its petitionary
prayer for relief, and let the thing pass.
But when it couples with this prayerful
confession an accusation of "Radical scum
and rif-raff," so much of the "piety of
confession" drops out Of its pathetic APP
peal, that we find no heart for responsive
ness, and must be pardoned for leaving
church" more abruptly than the sanctimo-
NOUS ceremonies Of the occasion might
otherwise require. ''Scum" and "riff-
raft" are both good, but little out of
place in the same metaphor. As we like
confession pure and simple, SO we prefer
metaphor plain and unmixed. Give us no
metaphorical smilitudes after the fashion
of Mrs. Malaprop, if the thing can be
helped. If you want to call us
"scum" to-day, leave the "riff-raff" for
a more sweeping editorial tomorrow.
Don't make us skimmings" and 'ssweep-
ings" at the same time, for we shall hardly
know whether to defend with broomstick,
or perform the burlesque ceremony of
"riding skimmngton, with so notorious a
scold after us as some of our contempora-
ries have proved themselves to be. We
will take flashing with quilD gracefully
at any time, but spare US metaphorical
CATO -nine-tails, for the sake Of the Eng
lish language, if no higher consideration
can be invoked in aid of clemency.

The passage by the House of the bill
authorizing the use of postal cards in the
United States mails cannot fail to meet
with universal approval, as it provides for
deficiency long felt in our postal system,
that of cheap postage. In land where
millions of letters are annually sent through
the mails low tariff of charges should be
the main point aimed at by the govern
ment, as such tariff has been repeatedly
shown to be the best both for government
and people, every decrease of postage hay
ing resulted, by reason Of the greater num-
Der of letters sent, in a large increase OF
revenue to the Postoffice Department. In
England the card system has proved a per-
feet success, and has been the means Of
adding very considerably to the wealth o.
the Kingdom, and there is every reason tc
believe that its introduction here will re-
suit in like increase to our own treasury
