THE FRAUDULENT AND TAINTED"
BONDS.

The Picaynne having been charged by the
Bee with appearing to shave become or TO
have been made the organ Of the cred
itors Of the State, passes by its accuser
and discharges an amount of vituperation
against the REPUBLICAN,. 1t is perfectly
welcome to pick its antagonist. for
there is nothing within its capacity for
mischief for which we have not the
supremest contempt. Indeed. this Chi
nese fashion of coming to the charge. with
a round of unsavory missiles and a
clangor of abuse, is played out from Can.
ton to Camp street. 1t is intended to
repulse any adversary who has regard to
the comfort of his nostrils or the fear Of
fuss. Its object is to scare of an attack
from an untenable position.
Sc We return to rout our neighbor as
we have done his numerous predecessors.
What was the proposition under discus
sion in which the Picayme pronounces its
Judicial opinion?
The president of the Chamber of Com.
merce said, in debate, that
The opposition to the funding bill pro-
ceeded chiefly, in the proportion of eighty
per cent, from the holders of the fraudulent
and tainted bonds known as the Chatta-
nooga bonds.
The Picay2uae, from which this state
ment is an extract, said:
The holders of the fraudulent and tainted
bonds to which he refers are the only parties
who are quite well satisfied with the pro-
visions of this bill They are secured
very good substitute for bonds which have
been for some time valueless. 1t is those
holders of deprecated bonds who have
judgments in favor of the validity of their
bonds who are really the benefciaries of
this funding act. They are placed beyond
the possibility of reputation.
We deny that these fraudulent, tainted
and deprecated" bonds are beyond scru-
tiny and annulment by the board of liqui-
dation. We need not restate our own

Wellington was once asked by lady of
rank. after dinner, to give her an account
of the battle of Waterloo-a request very
like that made by French countess, whe
seized a philosopher at the supper table
and exclaimed, while they are cutting up
the fowls, and we have got five minutes to
spare, do tell me the history OF the world,
for want to know it SO much" However.
the Iron Duke proved himself equal to the
occasion, for he replied: Battle of Water
loo, ma'am; We pommeled the French, they
pommeled us, and We pommeled the hardest;
so we gained the day

| This is the mortal mission of this re-
porter, and we hope he is duly proud of
it. When be shall have followed Senator
Pinchback about for several years, he will
have acquired valuable materials for a
biography of his distinguished subject,
and we shall have him going about to pub
llsh 1t by subscription. Incidentally this
eavesdropper prints great deal about the
purposes of Kellogg, Casey and Norton.
He must have wormed himself into the
confidence of these gentlemen to know
their secret intent and purposes SO per-
fectly. He secures himself against dis
charge from this monotonous service by
contradicting each day pretty much all
that he may have said the day before,
and so, like the princess in the Arabian
Nights, keeps himself alive by the con-
tinued credulity of his hearers.
Senator Blackburn affirms it to be the
duty of the State government to indem-
Nifty all citizens who may lose property
through mob violence or lawlessness. He
relieves parochial and municipal authori-
ties of all responsibility in such cases ap-
parently, and would make the general
treasury bear the burden of relief. Here
is fine opening for the sufferers by the
gun store riots to put in their little bills
and secure champion animated with
most generous ardor. If New Orleans
must pay for outrages perpetrated by the
rnffians of Colfax. surely it is but just
that ColfaS should reciprocate by sharing
the costs created by our local scoundre!s.
''If citizen" says the Senator" has
been despoiled Of his property by violence
before the government can interfere to
save it, it is the duty of the government
to indemnify him." This theory, carried
to its logical conclusions. would vastly re.
lieve the insurance companies in cases of !
arson. and had the armed and desperate
mob Of burglars succeeded in getting
away with friend Kreeger's silks and laces
the other night. he would. no doubt, have !
elt justified. after perusing Mr.. Black. !
ourn's argument in demanding reclama-
ion from the State. The Senator from !
Jefferson seems determined to stamp this I
dea out of the minds OF his colleagues.
however, SO that any serious results are
not likely to ensue.

There is an interesting trial in progress at
Kalamazoo. Michigan. The Hon. Charles
i. Stuart of that city, has sued the board
OF education, in order to prevent its collect
ing tax for the support of the High
School, His plea is, that schools in which
languages other than English are taught
can not be legally main tanned by city or
State. This will probably be test case. If
the courts of final appeal sustain Mr.. Stuart
we may expect to see irate taxpayers try
ing to enjoin other boards of education from
paying for instruction in German and other
languages in high schools.

The Boston Post asserts that 'there is u
prevalent suspicion that when Judge
Waite and William NJ. Evarts were in col
:ege together at Yale, they each bet that
the other would be Chief Justice first. The
wager was small, but it has been on inter
est all the while, and amounted to a good
round snm, SO that Evarts positively re-
.used the use of his name in connection
with the position. Waite preferred the
