New York, May l2-Ths Times, this
morning. in an editorial on the appoint
nent of Desbrucker Police Commits
sioner. says it seems to be the general
opinion that New York was never cursed
with so dishonest and disreputable u
Mayor as at present. and declares that
the supposition of the World that he is
insane, is the only hypothesis on which
to clear him from the charge of being
one of the most unprincipled men ever
known to public life in this city.
At a meeting Of the Aldermanic Com
mittee of Investigation of the street
cleaning frauds, yesterday, Ottendorfer
and Falconsr both identified themselves
with the reform movement, and freely
expressed the belief that the Mayor
would do nothing in tine matter.

Ny Way Of Expiapafiou.

The gentleman who has charge o: the
Washington line Of the Associated Press,
sent on the wires last night more than two
columns OF anonymous, personal. scandal
GUS matter concerning sundry gentlemen
connected with the Republican party in
Louisiana. The matter was more scurriious
than witty and most Of its statements were
pervertions Of facts. OF course, :ie trash
vas dismissed into q waste basket. Tho
motive that prompted tho sending o: the
stuff may be readily surmised.
We have not been alone in our complaints ts
of the management Of the Washing ITO
office. nor IS this the first outrage the agen
has inflicted upon us. AL OK ou: con tenn.
poraries have had like cause OF conpiai Mt.
yet the complaint seems to do no good " :th
the present management. There seems to
be complete indifference on their part as to
how uneven the Washington agent carries
his brains after dark, or how much his palm
itches. Perhaps Congress may na.ionalize
the telegraph lines one of these days, and
such affairs as this will give such meas
ure many votes. OF perhaps in some other
way the nuisance may be abated in the
good time coming; and then We will have
no more occasion to apologize to our read.

A diafin Ou;staA Son,4or oA,,rraS ,.oa

A distinguished Senator observed yester.
day, in conversation with q personal friend i.
that he did not think the proposition to or .
der the overthrow of the State government
OF Louisiana and order new election Of
State .ttcials under special act of Con
gress could secure fifteen votes ia the Sen.
ate, and yet she Democratic organs are
howling themselves hoarse with denuncia.
tions OF the President and the Republicans
in Congress for not doing what they have
insisted for three quarters of a century
the government of the United States has
10 power to do under the provisions of the
constitution. Had State election been
ordered by Congress these self constituted
censors would have been equally violent in
their denunciations of Republican Presi
dent and a Republican Congress for having
done what they now seem to demand.
Snch an act on the part of the govern.
ment of the United States could not be
justified on the plea OF military necessity,
because no war existed between the United
States and the State of Louisiana. Nor
could it be justified on the pretense Of
guaranteeing to Louisiana republican

meht, and al! this governments machinery
depends, nominally at least. on the will OF
the people.
Whether all the officials holding Office IN

may bo seriously questioned. Bu: This.
II true. Is not the first time In the history Of
civil governments when persons have been
illegally thrust into high .fficiaf stations.
Such .negal elections do not, however.
change the forms of Ii governmen. from
republic to monarchy, to IA oligarchy. or
to an aristocracy-is J. stlI republican III
form.
A singular feature of this controversy
consists IN the fact that the courts of Loui

State have been legally elected, while the
Democracy elsewhere declare them to be
usurpers.- WasAisgtoss Chronicle. Febrs-

A somewhat enthusiastic writer In :he

About nineteen years ago there came to
this village Tad. apparently seventeen or
eighteen years old and apparently OF pure
African descent, to deliver an anti-slaVeyy
lecture. He was poorly clad. and to cover
his thres:. bare ana dllapidafed coat he wore

lectured at the Congregational Church, and
Was listened to by q large audience, who
were astOnshed at the wonderful elOquence

Among the members OF the 1yeeum at
that time were Daniel Morris, Esq, since
member OF Congress; Cuyer +. Green,
Esq. John Sayre, DR.. Ois Richard, N.

in the old Academy. K. N. Warfield and

had spoken; he then arose. and with be.

bew!ldered every one. He answered his
opponents in the order in which they had
spoken, commencing. * We reJne IN Der right
with DR.. Otis. The doctor. in speech of
considerable length. had exhausted al! .be
arguments used in those days in favor Of
gradual emancipation. and concluded bv

the greatest inhumanity TO emancipate the
slaves without first educating or preparing
them IN some way 70, the great change.

Wendell Phillips on Finnncsa


NEW YORK, February 9.-The ErenissS
Post publishes this afternoon an open lettee
on the finances addressed by Wendell Phil
lips to General Butler. Phillips says:
"A debtor nation is always the slave Oe
| its creditors, and in consequence of this do
pendence debtor nation should separate
entirely it's national currency from its
international currency; to save its holy
system from foreign Interference and
for home currency, he proposes to take
from national banks all right to issue bills,
and Oblige them to return what CURRENCY
they have in a reasonable time; to accept
present. .greenbacks in payment of all debts
due the government, and destroy them An
fast as paid in Then let the United States
lend greer-Dacks at 3 % per cent per anDuus
on national bonds or improved land owners
of bonds to have, in greenbacks, tour
tfths their par value, and for land one.hag
its value, as appraised for taxation during
the last ten years. These green backs to be
legal tender for debts due the governments
ana private persons. Borrowers on bonds
and land may surrender greenbacks
at sny time, receiving their seen
rites. In return holders of green
backs can surrender them and have
in their stead national bonds bearing 3.GES
per cent interest IN greenbacks; principal
payable IN gold, In twenty or thirty yeara.
One result OF this plan would be TO reduce
interest ON the national debt to about fOusa
per cent, or instead of paying, as nogf,
sll2,O0O,00O annually in interest, the nation
should be paying $80, 100000"
Mr.. Phf;tps says that a new and undo
velopea country should have twice the
amount in currency per head AZ an Old and
developed country has. Another result OF
the plan would be to put currency beyond
the power OF disturbance by rings
Wages 1t ls held is not what cripples nanrso

because our dead capital, lands, buildings
and machinery is worth from ten to four
