We notice the introduction OF a
bill into the Legislature for the reg
ulation of "the social evil What
preposterous nonsense this Is
1.-THE social evil P" is a bit of news
paper slang-whangery in evasion OF
a plump and honest allusion to the
traffic OF female prostitution. Such
a euphemism is excusable enough IN
the gingerly prattle of an over-nice
journalism; but when the makers OF
laws propose to deal with so serious
matter as harlotry, let them aban'
don all mere Alterations and cantlng
fripperies, and call things by their
right names. As we'll allude to
bread as "the staff of life" in bill
for the prevention of under-welght
in bakers loaves, as to thus tritie
with the title of a bill for the regu-
lation of professional strumpets.

THE CLAIM OF THE CORBETT
BROTHERS.

Shiftless individuals are not alone
in feeling reluctance in paying for
"dead horses"-even States are back
ward about settling their old debts;
and the difficulty experienced by the
Corbett Brothers in obtaining their
lust dues at the hands of the Legisla-
ture is not an isolated hardship.
much as they will have cause OF
grievance if the Senate should treat
their claim as summarily and I'M
Justly as the Assembly did. Here
are the outlines of the case under
consideration: These claimants
keep a public house; ard during the
construction of the Capitol building
they boarded and lodged many of the
workmen employed in the construc-
ton of that edifice. In payment Of
their bills at the Corbett House, GER
tain of these workmen gave orders
upon Mr.. Cavanaugh, the contractor,
and he accepted the same. Thus
they were made valid claims against
a fund set apart for the payment OF
such liabilities. Two years ago the
Legislature passed an Act making an
appropriation for the payment OF
such claims, and one of the provis
ions of the said Act was that the
said claims should be fled within
thirty days after its passage. The
Corbetts had number of orders,
accepted by Cavanaugh, as aforesaid
amounting, IN the aggregate, to $3.50.
or such a matter, and for some cause
or other they delayed the filing OF
the same until what they understood
to be the last day of the thirty days
contemplated by the said law. On
the day referred to they took their
bills to the Secretary of States OF
fee only to be informed, mucn 10
their surprise, that they were one
day too late. They were misled by
advertisements and erroneous oral
information, so they claim, into
being one day over time; and this
misunderstanding is the only thing
which lay between them and their
drawing from the treasury the
amount of their claim. The State Is
their debtor, actually and equitably
and if they are not paid the State is
to be placed in the not honorable
position of a man who pleads the
statute of limitation in bar OF just
demand against himself.

AN ACT TO ENCOURAGES The
PLANTING AND CULTIVATION
OF SHADE TREES.

Assemblyman Fox is the author
of bill, the provisions or intent OF
which should, by all means, be en-
bodied in a statute. The object of
the said bill is to encourage the
planting and cultivation of shade
trees; and it provides that all per-
sons in the State who, within the
next five years, shall plant and cul-
tiyate and sustain for three years an
acre of shade trees, or plant and cul-
tiyate a half mile of such trees, one
rod apart, for like length OF time,
shall be entitled to receive ten dol
lars per annum from the treasury
of the county in which he lives-the
proper showing being made to the
county authorities. Due precaution
is taken in the text Of the bill to pro-
vide against the getting of the boun-
ty by persons who plant willows and
cottonwoods merely for the pur-
pose of strengthing the banks OF
bitches or canals. It is also provld-
ed that the taxable property of lands
shall not be increased by conse-
quence of the suggested tree plant
ing. Section of the bill prescribes
punishment for those who shall mu-
tilate or destroy their neighbors'
trees. We like the notion OF this
bill. We can't do too much by way
of encouraging the growing OF trees
on our barren plains and along our
dusty roads, and We hope the Legs
lature may take this bill IN hand'
perfect its shortcomings, provide a
clause which shall protect the pro-
jected tree crops from animals as
we'll as men, and then pass 1t.

TIE SENATE Committee on the
Credit Mobilier business, after reclt-
ing the entire innocence OF Loga1
and Conkling with relation to Ames
and his transactions, proceed to the
case of Senator Patterson of New
Hampshire, whose doings they re-
probate and whose lying they de-
nounce; and then, with unanimous
voice, they recommend that the said
Patterson be expelled from his seat
in the Senate. This Committee con-
sists of Morrill, of Maine, Scott OF
Pennsylvania, Wright of Iowa, Stock
ton of New Jersey and Stevenson Of
Kentucky. The first three are Re
publicans, Stockton and Stevenson
being Democrats. All along we have
regarded the dabbling in these Credit
Mobilier stocks as more a matter
of bad taste than an evidence OF dis
honesty of intention; but whenever
and wherever Senator Or Represen
tative is caught lying about his con-
nection Herewith, then and there
comes the cause for summary ex
pulsion. Certainly Patterson ought
to be kicked out of the Senate; ano
certainly, also, it looks as if ColfaA
deserved to be turned adrift ID the
same boat. The fimsiest seeming
defense we ever saw summoned tt
the aid of a man in a corner is that
which Colfax submitted as means o.
accounting for that twelve hundred
dollar bank deposit. 1t was dreadful
thin!
