DIR. MARY WALKER was very much
enraged day or two since because the
United States Commissioner of Patents
would not permit her to place the military
costume she accoutred herself in during
the war in the glass cabinet containing the
garments of Washington and Lincoln.
The clothes were labelled, sworn by Mrs.
DR.. Mary Walker during the war;" and as
historic relic for the inspection of future
generations would have been invaluable.

THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE

There seems to be IN some cases grave
miscenception as to the nature of the duties
required of the President of the United
States, and consequently misunderstood
ing Of the qualifications which candidate
for that office should possess. The constitu-
ton defines clearly his functions and con-
fines him to the execution of the laws and
the protection of the people. IIehas moth
ing to do with making laws generally.
His signature to bill is rather in the
nature of an attestation. The veto power
seems to have been designed to protect the
prerogatives of his own department rather
than to constitute him part of the law
making power. ....
He may properly suggest such measures
as in experimenting the workings of the
system he sees to be needed; but this privi-
lege is accorded to every citizen Of the Re-
public, and has no more legal force from
the occupant of the White House, than from
the humblcst dwcller in a prairie cabin.
What we want then in a President is the
possession of those qualities which fit him
to preserve the state from harm. He
must be wise, brave, firm, and above all,
honest and well intentloned. His wisdom
must be practical and available, taking on
the form of that rare gift, common sense.
1t is not essential that he has brilliant con-
ceptions of possible improvement in the
structure of society. He is not required
to possess that constructive genius which
z reaches forever to the future and aims to
remodel government upon higher ideals of
excellence. All this is well I; nay, it is our
great work of the future.
1t is not to the President that we look to
undertake it. However, while we go forth
to build the new edifice of the future, we
want to leave the present and its costly ac-
QUESTIONS safely guarded from waste and
robbery. We want the progress of the
past guaranteed from rejection. We can
not build except upon the foundation which
it has laid. Neither can we build except il
the confidence Of assured order. We dc
not ask that he who guards the past and
defends the present, shall catch all the bril-
liant visions of our best inspiration-tha
he shall be Sir Christopher Wren and {
Cromwell united in one but we seek tina
man who, with full sense of the response
bility, never hesitates to use the extrem
powers of his Office in the interest of orde
and for the protection of the humblest citi
zen in the enjoyment of his rights.
This is the fundamental condition o
progress and local growth. There can b
no healthy growth without stability. Tn
rash crying fanatic may cry out for chang
and seek to overturn all that exists. Blu

THE Bureau of Navigation is arrangg-
ing the details of an expedition whose
mission will be to examine and survey
the waters of the Pacific, and to furnish
materials for accurately charting its vast
surface and countless islands. The first
step will be to survey all that part Of the
Pacific running from the coasts Of Lower
California to the northwestern boundaries
of the United States, off Alaska and along
the Aleutian group of islands, and thence
southwark to the Sandwich Islands.

THE Missouri Democrat says of that
State: "That of the entire number of lib
eral Republican papers that advocated the
election of Brown in 1870, not one, with
the exception of the Westliche Post, is now
supporting the Cincinnati ticket. We are
in daily receipt of information from all
parts Of Missouri concerning the situation
of affairs, and feel justified in saying that
outside the ranks of the Democracy the
Greeley ticket has no appreciable strength.
Hundreds and thousands of Republicans
who were active and efficient supporters of
Brown for governor in 1870, are now advo-
| eating the election of Grant and Wilson.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN is advertised,

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN IS advertised,
or rather advertises himself-to be here
and to speak at the Richmond Theatre, on
Saturday night Of this week. His great
paper, The Train Ligue, with its half million
gratuitous circulation, announces this fact,
and we suppose that nothing short of Plan
tamour's great comet, will prevent his be-
ing on hand to fill the programme. Tram
Is his own candidate for the Presidency.
He is also impressed with the idea that he
is the peoples candidate. He expects to
run both Grant and Greeley off the track,
and to come in ahead by about five million
votes. Convinced of this, as one of the
inevitable certainties, he is on the Presi-
dental war-path, with the belief that none
but God and George Francis Train can save
the American people. He has whipped the
British lion, "chawed up" the bastard
French eagle, established the "Train
Iigue,u cleared one hundred millions in
Omaha lots, muzzled the Tammany dogs,
hung the pale ofimpending doom over Wall
street, and is now preparing to clear the
moral atmosphere of funkeyism, toadyism
