Before the fiery host Of France. and gave
The battle cry that rolled, recediug wave

Than ever crushing Belgian b~attle-car

WE presume there is no doubt the bank
ruptcy of the Washington City District
Government" That Government has
been run by a ring of highly respectable
robbers. They have taken the precaution
to purchase all the newspapers In the
District with advertisements. The city
might have been saved from bankruptcy
and shamesif there had been a resident ed
Itor capable Of refusing bribes. & of serv-
ing the public in the capacity of their
enemy. Nothing saves q town from
the wild raids of the thieves who confs-
cate the property of the people in the
name Of Improvements" like a public
enemy, with highly improper newspa-
per largely circulated among all sorts Of
people. Bankruptcy is before all our
cities unless the fell spirit Of public i'm.
provement is checked by public enemies. y

A TIMoRoUs organ recently charged that
there was a diabolical conspiracy among
the editors of the independent press to
ruin the Republican party In response
to this awful assertion The Ctncirnda
Commercial has the audaeity to remark
1--WE shouldn't wonder. If telling the
truth about it will kill that party. we in
tend that it shall die. It is our impres
sion, however, that the persistent refusal
OF the Democratic party to be buried will
Keep sufficient vitality in the Republican
party to run it several years. Both the
great parties-the Republican and the
Democratie-are abominable. So long as
both remain, there is but melancholy
chance for choice of evils. -Erehagloe.
The audacious impudence Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial is astonishingl We
desire the Democratic party to li5eralise,

good men who desire and will honestly

cannot be for the worse. We hope TO fool

sense, practical old party, cease to act as

slender trees, evidently growing from a
cleft IN the rock. A Wild hope animated
her, and gave renewed strength 10 her
faltering limbs. By getting behind the
trees, and dodging, might she not contrive
to elude the animal until the party from
below should arrive?
The cluster of trees was now the coYet-
ed goal, and she strained every nerve to
reach it. But when she was within ten
feet OF 1t, she met with q fearful disap-
pointment-a deep, yawnIng chasm, right
in her path, between her and the trees,
and which had hitherto been hidden from
her sight by high bushes fripging the
edge.
The chasm was too wide TO leap over.
She turned and stood at bay-her back to
the abyss, her face toward the lion. There
seemed no hope now. Death was before
and behind her, hemming her on both
sides.
HIM. He uttered growl of triumph and
croucned for the fatal spring.
The lady strained her child closer to
her breast. To descend the dark depths
of the chasm was preferable to being torn
by that savage monster. There was no
time to lose. In another moment the
tawny body must come sEooping down
upon her.
But now a quick, wild thought-a
mothers spiration-flashed through her
mind. Under the armpits she clasped the
child which each hand, and raised it high
above her head, so that the bleeding
scratches on its white flesh were fully ex-
posed to the lions view
That sight reused to the full the uncon-
trollable desires of the savage BEAST
WithA smothered roar he shot up from
the rock, his huge form cleaving the air
with one tremendous bound for the child
That was what Mrs Benton had waited
for. By eleyating her child, she had com
PEELED the lion to take a lofty leap; and
now, with her little one, she quickly sank
fiat on the rock, thus eluding the monster,
which, uttering one long, wild terrible
roar, was carried head foremost, out of
sight for evermore, into-the frightful
depths of the chasm.
Nearly senseless from the fatigue and
excitement sne had undergone, Mrs. Ben
ton was soon after conveyed to the ship
by her rejoicing friends, who next day
left far behind them the place of that ex
citing scene Of mothers peril and time

Great pains are taken at Washington
to protect Gen. Howard's reputation for
honesty and capacity IN advance of any
proceedings that may be instituted
against him. He is warmly indorsed by
heads of departments and touching testi-
monials of entire confidence in him are
prepared and published to the world. We
are given to understand that if an exam
inatien of his accounts should show a de-
6ciency, the responsibility will be laid at
the door of his subordinates.
Now, we do not know IN the first place
whether there is any deficiency or irregu-
larity, but if such should prove to be the
case, General Howard as the Commission
er of the Freedmen's Bureau, Is in law as
in fact the responsible party If there
were dishonest subordInates, it vas the
Commissioners duty to put them undei
arrest and make an example of them

When James Buchanan was President
Of the United States, he occasionally. but
not very often-for he had old fashioned
lders of duty paid e visit to his modest
home at Wheatland, and who will forget
1t that has ever enjoyed its genial hos
pltahty? 1t was the abode of intelligence
and moderation, and kindness not only
to the parlor visitor, but (What was very
impressive) to the poor turnpike wayfar-
ers, who knew when their benefactor was
at home, and were sure Of his charity. No
retlnue of lackeys followed, ,him-no trail
oil private secretaries and cooks and en-
gineers and gardeners. He paid his Lam
caster market bills out of his own pocket.
This was the case In what our Republican
fnends are fond of calling the pad old
times of Democracy. What the condi-
ton Of things now is, our readers may
learn from the following extract from
we'll informed New York Journal:
General o. E. Babcoek, engineer in
charge of the Washington Aoueduet
Commissioner Of Public Buildings and
Grounds. Colonel of the Engineers United
States Army, and Private Secretary to
the President, started from this city to-
day tor Long Branch, taking with him
number ofgardeners, who are to be used
IN putting the grounds and garden of the
Presidents seaside residence in order.
These men are part ofthe force employed
here to take care OF the public grounds
and while it may he economical, SO far as
the Presidents pocket is concerned, to
take them away from their work here. it
is expensive for the Government. Not
only will their pay run on as if at work
here, but the cost of transporting them
70 Long Branch Will be charged to the
Executive contingentfund.
But this is not the only abuse which
the President tolerstes in this connection.
Nearly all of the household servants, the
cooks, buffers, &C., who are paid by the
Government for services in the Execu-
every season, and in this way the Sea-
side White House is run out of the funds
provided solely and only for the Wash
