gentle Susan, the gush and softness Of Eliz-
abeth, what Henry wrote and Oliver said,
and Sam promised and the sainted Theo-
dore suffered. Hallett Kilbourne and
Lewis Clephane and John o. Evans,
DeGollyer and the rest were taken of the
rugged edge of snxiety-if they were ever
on it-only to give place to new set of
actors, on a new stage, in new costumes, in
newer and more exciting play. 1t was
with feeling akin to regret that we saw
the tender solicitude of the able editors and
the vigilant reporters and interviewers
transferred to another city and to another
set; that we saw another city, and that
sort of q suburb, too, mere stepping-of
place on the great highway, become the
great national sensation. We had hoped, in
one way or another, to maintain the proud
pre-eminence we had won to furnish the
daily newspapers thought and food for the
continent But the fates ordered it other
wise, and we had to submit with the best
grace we could command. With the re-
turning season, however, let US hope that
we shall regain our old position, when what
is thought and said and done in Washing
ton will resume its old attraction and i'm
portance for this great and all potent Amer
lean people. As we said, the signs multi
ply on every hand. The cool morning air
along the Long-branch beach reminds the
President that the time for State dinners
and the courtesies of the Capital has almost
come. Accordingly, next week the pre-
cious Jewell we have brought back from
beneath the cold and inclement Russian
skies to our softer Italian air and sweet
South winds, is to be appropriately hon
ored. The gay equipages which have been
the delight and admiration of the loungers
at the springs and on the sea-shore, again
begin to roll over our own unequaled pave
ments Mrs. Sherman bids some sixteen
hundred guests to the marriage of her
daughter, to be celebrated with the gorgeous
ceremonial of the Catholic Church by one
of that Church's archbishops; hundreds Of
workmen toll day and night in the seventy
rooms of the new house Of the British rep
resentative; Mrs. Dahlgren, who seems
ambitious to be considered the Madame de
Stael OF our republican society, promises
new edition of that wondrous book on
etiquette, which aims to decide such intri-
cate questions as what lady shall make the
first call, and to soften the boorish manners
Of Granger Congressman. In fact society"
generally is in delightful tremor prepar-
ing for the coming season, which will no
doubt bring with it the same weary and
vain and profirless round of so-called pleas
ure. But what, AFTER all, is the use of COM
plainingH 1t was 50 in the beginning, and
it will be so in the emo, and is it not our
great mission and destiny to be the political
and the literary and the social Centre of

want the whir of sordid machinery and
the odor of smoke and the faint of vulgar

The Charley Ross mystery remains to
plague parents of blue-eyed, fair-haired,
four-year-old boys. Hardly a day passes
that some anxious and greedy would-be
possessor of the $4,000 reward does not
give the detectives in some part of the coun-
try "a certain clue for his discovery.
While every person possessed of the aspi-
rations of common humanity would be glad
to learn that the child has been found, there
are but few who will not agree with us that
those frequent arrests of innocent parties
are ineXcusable nuisances.

Or COURSE! The New York Tribu,.s
has begun, even at this early date, to deride
the character and object of the proposed
convention of Southern Republicans. But
it will nevertheless be held, and among
the benefits certain to follow from it will
be a clear and forcible exposition of the
manner in which journals like the 1ri-
6une, aided by prejudiced telegraphic re-
porters, have for years misrepresented the
condition of affairs in that section.

THE New York World has great deal
to say about 'fhe broken promises and
shifty tricks" of the Republican party in its
relations with the blacks Of the South; but
it fails to prove a single instance wherein
the blacks themselves have had cause for
complaint in this regard, except in those
which occurred through Democratic re-
sponsibility and instigation. Itwas to have
been expected that party which supported
Horace Greeley for President would do
something more to redeem the pledges
made pending that support; but the result
shows not only a reputation Of those
pledges, but of every honest aspiration of
the life of its candidate.

THERE SEEMS to be trouble in the Demo-
cratic camp in New York. The Tammany
Hall party in the city are very anxious to
nominate Tilden for Governor, while the
party in the State, through their newspaper
organs, serve notice that Tsmmany, under
her new leaders, is as Objectionable as she
was under Tweed, and that she must not
interfere in the matter. 1t really makes
very little difference, as the Democratic
candidate, whoever he may be, will be GER
tainly beaten.

THERE seems to be fair prospect that the Dis
trict Commissioners will reduce the number Of
Justices Of the peace within the District to such
point as will make the office remunerative and
secure for the position men Of superior qualihca-
lions. We are glad to see that the bar assOcia-
ton recently had the subject under consideration,
and designated Messrs. H. W. Garnett, +. Miller
and J. O. Wilson as a committee to represent the
facts to the District Commissioners. Accordingly,
those gentlemen, in the course of protracted in
terview with Mr.. KetchaIn, represented that ten
justices of the peace would be amply sufficient to
transact the business now divided among ifty-one.
1t is asserted that this number will afford US a
larger ratio than is found to be necessary in most
of our sister cities.

THE Baltimore american says: awe and all
who worked with US to build up the Republican
party in Maryland have no more influence at
Washington thanthe procession ofnewsboys and
bootblacks who marched. up Baltimore street
few days ago." This is not only sad, but it is all
wrong. The american did gallant work in
building up the Republican party in Maryland.
1t put all its brothers, cousins and grand
children in office, to the number of about five
hundred, every one of whom carried trans
parency OIL a banner in Republican professions
and spoke eloqusntly at Republican meetings.
But now our contemporary has lost its influence;
the cousins have all been turned out and the
party is going to the dogs.
