WASHINGTON, July l9-The committee
appointed b. the District Legislature has
been engaged several days investigating the
official transactions of Justices Of the Peace
and Constables in tb.5 District, ard the con-
ditioa OF Affairs developed Is exceeding dis
reputable. A curious feature of the pro-
ceedings is that these Justices, 1 he the
Police Court, claim that they are clothed
with al the powell of the United States,
and tie Chronicle OF to-day comedies this,
while severely denounciDg the transactions
brought to light. 1t says: San legal pro-
cess here runs in the name of the United
States of America. The Congress OF the

jurisdiction within its limits, hence
the whole people Of the .cosntty are
responsible for the administration of
justice among rs people. A Deputy Mar
shsl, or constable, as he goes forth armed
with an execution to collect q debt against
one of our inhabitants, goes in the name of
forty millions of people, who are jealous of
their honor and good name. He is not in
tended to be armed with an instrument of
cruelty, or expected to exhibit the feelings
and character of a brigsnd or Of : burglar,
nor yet those of Spanish inuuisition, AS de-
scribed during the dark days of European
history, but be is expected to do, firmly and
in gentlemanly manner, so much and no
more than the Law requires. Imagine forty
millions of people in The person OF street
loafer dubbed a constable, entering the
house Of a poor man in his absence, read
ing an execution in a voics and with the
manner of street bully; damning the wife
left in charge of his children and II tie ef-
fects; sweeping away the little saflor 0rna-
ments and household goods which the law
exempts from forc.ble sale; jumping On the
infants cradle, or child's baby wogon, and
smashing them to pieces. This is the mode
in which it seems certain small officials in
this district are permitted to ar them
selves in the households Of FOOT people
who may chance to be embarrassed pecun-
iArly."

turns to the Treasury Department by ex-

Bismarck's ShrcWd Policy.
Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal
WASHINGTON, July 20 -Greas complaint
is made by intelligent German naturalized
citizers of the terms of the new postal
treaty just concluded with Germany by the
Postmaster General, A provision has be en-
inserted in the treaty levyirg a largely
additional rate of postage upon all American
printed in the German language
1t has always been the custom of
Germans in the United States
to send their friends at home
papers printed in their own language.
By this means the latter were best made
acquainted with the resources of this cGun-
try, anu the advantages offered them to
make it. their home. The eady exodus to
this country of so many of its subjects has
been a source of great alarm to the Ger
man Government, and twill be remember
ed that some time siuce attempts were
m ade by that Government 10 stop 1t. If
by an excessive rate of postage, practical
interdct can be put on the circulation of
which they are able to read,
the people of G ermany can be kept In ig
norance of the great advantages held out to
them TO emigrate TO the United States
There is no doubt that such was the object
of the German Government in insisting on
this provision; and our postoffice authorities
were toy blind to see it.
A Louisiana Congressman.
Parties just from New Orleans say that
Sypher, the disreputable carpet-bagger
whose villainy was so eff9ctuaily shown up
before the Louisiana Investigating Commit
tee, last winter, is sill Boosting that he is
on the roll of the present House of Repre-
.el tatives, and has exhibited the draft Of
he cl ark of the House for the last quarters
, larry. This is very strange, after Mr.. Nc
Pher8on's denial that be had put this mans
name on the roll.
