depths of fraud" and that he stood I'm an

said he. who is allowed to throw his drag
" nets under, and to rake, if possible, within
them the honor of an American Senate"
Throwing drag-nets to rake in the honor OF
American Senators is rather good Inquire Oh
speech. 1t not only reminds us OF the apos-
ties, but calls specially to mind the occasion
when they cast their nets all night long and
" caught nothing" In closing, the eloquent
Senator from behind the sunset called the
assaiant of Pomeroy "Mr. What's-his-name,"
and in most majestic way said;
Away with these Investigations. We nave enough VI
them. Away with such summOnses, # you would pre-
serve tho dignity of tho body! Away with huch III

cause feel that there is nothing that the human mhu
feeds upon like corrupt investigation Our ears have
been saluted with quite enough OF It, Inc puDhc dPpo
tito is gOrged with investigation"
This is the keynote of the character OF the
great statesman of Nevada. If there Is any
thing he has sat up nights to do for the past
eight or ten years 1t is to bear aoft the an
"cient dignity of that body" Very few Senators
of the period could bear it so far aloft OF so
much of it at one time. In all this time, now
ever. he has suffered constant and intense
agony from the conviction which he could not
dispel, that the tendency of the human mlnd
is to feed upon corrupt investigation" II Is
not strange that he shOuld cry, Away with IN
"ycstigationsw The country cannot survive the
Republican party, and the Republican party
cannot survive investigation. He meant 1T;
and not in this case only. Should anybody set
on foot an inquiry into the report that Jones,
who shortly comes into the Senate from Ne
vada, paid Nyc $4,000 not to be candidate,
he would doubtless take the same high ground.
But Nye disposed of Yorl's case. 1t Is
settled now that any man who makes russ
about being corruptly approached by United
States Senator is an Outside rascal" g " MI
"What 's-his-name," a villain stepped in the
depths of fraud" a man in short who has no
rights a Senator is bound to respect; while the
man who tempted him is brother Senator"

tenderly dealt with. So much we owe to Sen
ators Nye and Conllng. Well, it seems too
bad that we are to lose Nye. He isn't nearly
a funny as he used to be, but he bears alOft
d" the dignity" of the Senate in most touching
aud becoming manner.

doubt it will be cut short from the indications
thus far the Ring Is strong enough to carry
the Charter in any shape through the Assem-
bly, when it wills. We need not be surprised
to hear of its passage on Tuesday or Wednes-
day and transmission to the Senate at once
The greater need, therefore, for the expression
of public opinion contemplated in the call OF
the Committee of Seventy for public meet
ing on Tuesday next at Cooper Union.
There is little doubt that the audience
assembling there will be addressed by
numerous prominent Republicans who having
at heart the welfare of the City and the party
at large, are ready TO denomce the proposed
Charter as the scheme of corrupt Clique
who have no higher designs than to get pos
session of the City for themselves. AS certain
as they succeed, the Republican party OF the
State will at an early day have to bear IN the
bitterness of defeat, the odium OF tins RING
Our past experience should warn every man
of the Importance of defeating their plans at
the outset and we urge on all, speakers ana
listeners alike the pressing need OF positive
utterances and an imposing display OF num-
bers at the meeting next Tuesday evening.

binding upon all branches of the United States
Government Senator Hill, while cOncurring
in the majority opinion concerning the lille
gaity of the proceedings of both State and
United States Courts, does not favor new
election; he recommends that those members
of the Legislature who hold certificates OF
election from both Returning Boards shall be
called together as the Legislature OF the STATE
and that they shall then canvass the returns
and declare who arc legally elected State
officers.
The Senate has three distinct propositions
to consider: I. Shall new election be ordered
in louisiana 2. Shall the McEnery Govern
ment be recocnizedf 3. Is Congress powerless
to interfere with the existing or Kellogg Gov
eminent because it. has been declared legal
by the Supreme Court of the Statel We
make no account of Senator Hills proposition,
AZ Congress could only make recon-
incubation in such a case. III new
election is ordered, it must he by
the interference and under the conduct
of the Federal Governmental proceeding of
great delicacy and doubtful expedlency. To
leave the State in possession of illegally
elected officers, as Kellogg his coadjutOrs and
be, would be to tacitly COuntenance usurpa-
ton and neglect to provide for a republican
form of government IN Louisiana. There IL
not much question that McEnery was
legally elected; there is no question that
he and his associates received a majority
of all the votes cast at the November election.
The admission to the Senate of Mcmillan, as
argued in one of the minority reports, would
be sufficient recognition of the McEnery Gov
eminent, including the Legislature which
elected him; and, though beset with some
legal difficulties, it seems to be the most direct,
lust and equitable way out of the chaos. Next
best, would be new election in Louisiana;
we cannot entertain the belief that Congress
will even seem to sanction what Is admitted
to be a clear usurpation surrounded by the
hollow forms of law.

LEGISLATIVE Observation-Disclosures.

Sturdy John Holmes, one of the first Sena-
tors from the then new State of Maine, was
once instructed" by the Legislature of his
constituents. The somewhat independent and
very able Senator differed decidedly with the
Maine Legislators on the pending question
whereon they instructed him. So he voted
as his wisdom dictated, and then snubbed
the Legislature which had presumed to
lecture him. Who are you, asked the willful
old aristOcrat, who assume to teach me In
matters of law and precedent What do the
cobblers, top-sawyers, and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
of your Legislature know about the questions
on which you presume to instruct met II
John Holmes did MT say just this, his words
were to that effect. He instructed the LeSls-
lature-as he was able tn do.
We do not pretend to hold up the example
of this eminent old Conscnpt Father as one
worthy of all imitation by Senators and
Representatives OF the present generation
but some State Legislatures have not got over
the idea that they are conscience keepers for
their Senators in Congress. For example,

The work of the United States Coast Sur
vey for the past year forms the subject OF
bulky report, of which we give n synopsis
elsewhere. The portions relating to the voyage
of the HassleT having been already fully de-
tailed in the special correspondence of The
TRIBUNE from one of the eminent scientists
who took part in that undertaking, do not
need further reference, and much of the tech
meal matter of the report is also necessarily
omitted. We present, however, enough to
give our readers some notion Of the mag
nitude and importance OF the work OF
that Bureau. 1t will be observed that
the report suggests plan by which the accu-
rate survey of the minor subdivisions of
every State may be procured at slight expense,
while furnishing facilities for practical cduca-
ton to the students in technical schools and
COLLEGES There is very interesting account
of the means by which the Atlantic cables
were utilized in determining a possible error
of a fraction of a second in time in measuring
for longitude between Europe and America.
The details of the survey of the waters around
New-York give some facts of importance, not
the least of which is that dumping grounds
have been selected whose use is no injury to
our harbor.

MFR. Peter Cooper, in a letter published IN
The TRIBUNE to-day, gives some excellent
reasons why the Republican party cannot
afford to introduce partisaDship into the man
agemcnt of city affairs. As the party managers
have taken the bit into their teeth, 1t may be
useless to draw the rein; but the case as
herewith made out is a strong appeal to sound
judgment, nevertheless.

lent management Tho reserve was Illegally
ovcrdrawn; the cashier committed perjury in
his statements, and the legal-tenders on hand
were less than the amount required by law.
But the worst connt in this indictment Is
that the late Controller of the Currency. Mr..
Hulburd, knew the rotten condition of things,
but took no steps to have efiectual remedies
applied. This is grave accusation; if it
holds good, the exController must be partly
liable for the losses of innocent stockholders
and depOsitOrs.

The mania for Investigations, which so much
disturbs some of our Congressman, has reached
Albany. They are talking iii the Legislature
of inquiring into Mr.. Tweed's bargains with
Senators in 1870 and other years; also, his
right to a seat in the Senate. Mr. Johnson
who was left off the Erie Railway Investiga-
ton Committee which was raised on his
motion, is the IauthOr of these new inquiries
His inqusitiveness naturally alarms the
Reform" camp, which drops its Ring Charter
long enough to express dismay. Quarantine
affairs are also to be investigated If Mr.. ID. +.
Wood has his way. The suggestion that some
of last years Investigators need investigation
is timely.

Our Paris correspondent, whose letter is
printed on our third page, gives the latest
account by mail of the want of harmony
which subsisted between President Theirs and
the Committee of Thirty. We learn by tele-
graph, however, that affairs have taken very
different course from that which was antici-
pated. The success of Minister Dufaure in
inducing the Committee of Thirty to favor the
creation Of a second Chamber has had the Ell
feet of producing a rupture between the hight
and the Right Center. This result seems to
have proceeded from the dissatisfaction of the
Moderate Right with the fusion of LegltlmlstS
and Orleanists. A more satisfactory result,
however, will probably be the loss OF OBJ
structive power, which was exercised by the
reactionary members of the Assembly. Presi-
dent Theirs, if supported by the Right and
Left Centers, may be able to procure the
adoption of some bencfcent measures OF re-
form.

A curious and interesting chapter of CO.
temporary history is published on the fourth
page Of THE TRIBUNE to-day. 1t relates to
the legislation by which the Government lien

ginning to see the effects of this measure and
it is worth while to recall some of the circum-
stances under which it became law.

The Senate Public Lands Committee have
done the country good service in adversely

This scheme had a specious title, but, as was

benefit of and-sharks and claim-agents. Sol
diers would get but the shell of the oyster.

Per Cent BILL and the proposition to reopen
the war claims Of 1912, both of which Mr.. Hol-

reputation of the House that the debate was
not continued; there is no knowing what would
