The editor of the SteubeuviIle Herald

The editor of the Steubenville Herald
will not be comforted. In the last
issue of that notoriously virtuous sheet
in referring to the competitive exami-
nation for the Naval Cadetship, held
in Bellaire on the 29th ult., he says,
"It is singular too, that the lucky
boy should be the son of Mr.. Gregg, a
Guernsey county delegate to the Bell
aire Congressional Convention, who
was instructed for Judge Bingham, but
who cast telling ballot for Mr.. Dan
ford. Some things are peculiarly
peculiar"
1t is true that a son of Mr.. Gregg
was recommended for the appointment
as the following letter from the gentle
men who conducted the examination
will show:
Hon. l.. DANEoRD, st. Clairsville, o.
Dear Sir:-Pursuant to your re-
quest that as a committee, we examine
the applicants for admission through
you into the Naval Academy, and re-
port which one is best qualified in re-
spect to educational attainments, we
respectfully submit that we discharged
that duty on the 29th ult., and of the
candidates present, VIE. B.. Suth-
erland, Chas. Mandel, E. c. Means,
Allen Gregg and II. Smith, we so re-
port in favor of Allen Gregg.
Very respecfullY.

Signs.
rom the Missouri Republican

From the Missouri Republican.
There are some signs on the
political horizon which are
worth studying. There is the
coarse arrogance Of Senator
Carentper's recent speech in
defense of his vote for the sal
airy bill; and there is the super
cillious declaration of the
same senator repeated by At
torney Gen. Williams that the
people ought to let politics
alone and attend to their bust
ness; and there is the cold
blooded assertion in the Eas-
tern Republican organs. that
the Western farmers have
nothing but their own mis-
Management to complain of;
and there is the almost Napo-
leonic ignoronce of, and, indif-
ference to the public business
of the Washington admins
tration. Then, too, we see the
commencement Of libel suits
and other similar proceedings
/ by government officials and
favorites against daring and
perhaps unscrupulnus journ
alists who are exposing theil
profigacy and corruption
How all this reminds us of the
I days of Rochefort and the EN-
pire of France, when the EN-,
peror was dawdling away his
tinre at.the watering places
when his ministers was neg
Letting everything but theil
owHease and profit; and wheI
the Lanterne's acrid and I'm
endurable attack on the gov
eminent stung it to despera
ton and to ruin. The chic
business of the French empire
| in its last days was controlling
elections and prosecuting
journalists. 1t would not b.
fair to say that this is the chic
. business Of the governing par
ty in this country, but it Ger
tainly seems 10 be tending il
2 that objection.

We can assure the leaders
ofthiS new movement that the
majority of the white people
had much rather give in their
adhesion to the Republican
party at once, under a pledge
from the leading colored men
to abandon the corruptiOnist of
their party, than to stultify
themselves by joining a hybrid
concern, swift to concede
more than the Republican par
ty itself demands, having no
cohesive power of attraction
between the races, and prom
lsiAg no good results, but only
a disastrous issue.-[Natchi-

When John Quincy Adams
was President, the Potomac
played him a mean trick one
day. While taking an old
fashioned schoolboy bath in
the river, the water rose so rap
idly as to sweep away his
clothes. AS Mr.. Adams walk

the garb which Nature gave
him, he may have felt like a

say he did not look like one
