THE DEAD BEAT.
Governor.

About this time of the year tho professional
beggar girds up his lons and goes into action
Christmas, az he knows, has sOftened his rich
neighbours heart, and on New Years he
generally thinks about making a new Dives

traits, will be open as the day to melting

The soil is warm and plowed up, out Of
which his peculiar crops grow.
Of course we shall shock our country friends
by abiding to the Dead Beat Gas slang has
dubbed him) in terms of cold encouragement.
He ia unknown in the inland village; or if he
venture there is apt to take rank among the
few immortals, the ght-have-beens, always
known to a country neighbOrhOOd, who are
momentarily expected to do some great work
from the cradle to the grave, who live on
clover and die in glory on the strength of
deeds they never did. Our Dead Beat, az one
of these, is rarely found out His bread is of
the best and the laurel on his coffin of the
greenest But in town he belongs to class !;
he chooses beggary as business, just as other
clever able fellows choose blacksmithing, or
trade, or the law. His capitals more secure than
theirs. The market may be dull for horse
shoes or cottons, or briefs may be hard to
get, but benevolence and pity are never lack
ing in the hearts of men. Our village friend
has no more conception of the skill Of this
manipulation of the emotions than he has of
the pre-Adamite Foulke lizard. One is as far
out of his era as the other. The true Dead

grit, as would make his fortune in honester
courses. He begins in small ways as the poor
newsboy who drops his papers in the mud be-
fore a clubhouse door; he rises to nights OF
pathos and misery incredible to all who have
not known him. His children are in the hands
of Death, and nothing will rescue them out
the price of apitch- plaster; he is dead and his
wife brings you to look at him before asking
you for the funeral fees. Restored miracu-

"longation of the war :" and the British
agents refused to go on with the arbitration
until these indirect claims had been thrown
out of the court. II may therefore be OBJ
jected that it would he something like piece
OF sharp practice to interpret the award us q
compensation for losses which the tribunal
had declared not to he entitled to cOmpensa-
ton at all, and it certainly would be looked

We do not know that we are bound to con-
suit England as to the disposition OF our
money. The award of the Geneva Tribunal
was made to the United States, and not to
individual claimants. The nature and extent
of the damage inflicted by each vessel was
taken into account in fixing the amount Dut
there was no agreement, either express or I'M
piled, that our Government should apply tne
money to the satisfaction OF those particular
damages. The award, in short, was made TO
the United States absolutely, and not TO the
United States in trust for any CLASS
Of claimants. The Government may
legally do what it pleases with it; add it to
the sinking fund, spend it on the Washington
monument, or turn it into half pints of silver,
and resume specie payments again on the five
dollar plan. What may be the most equitable
mode of dispOsing of the money we do not
undertake to say; but it ought to be clearly
understood that it is now the property OF tho
United States, and that no one has claim to
aDy part of it who cannot show actual losses
for which he has rnrai"o9 "o conPthSa''on

predict that the number of those who can do
this will be surprisingly small.

There are fresh reports of combinations to
put up or keep up the price of coal. We in
cline to the belief that, in some previous
cases. combinations of this sort have been un-
Justly charged. But there is a simple method
of doing away with some of the danger, which
we hope to see Congress take before the
present session is over. There is no sense in
a tariff on coal as measure of protection, and
no wisdom in maintaining it us a measure for
revenue. Let Ills havethe duty on coafabolished.
We doubt whether it will materially affect
the price, though the tendency will ut least
be in the direction Of discouraging combina-
lions to keep it up. But the abolition of the
duty will remove one of the standing re-
proaches of the protective system, will do no.
body any harm, and will be productive of
good 80 far as it is productive of anything.
Let us have the duty on coal abolished.

Government. To circulate three million docu-

A meeting was held at Exeter Hail. London, .
short time ago, TO hear the report of the English
delegates to the Evangelical Alliance in NewYork.
The Rev Mr.. Marston. Lord Alfred Churchill. and
the Rev DIR. Parker spoke with unbounded enthusi
asm of the hospitality of New-York and the good
feeling which characterized all the sessions Of the
Conference but the most remarkable address, per-
haps was that of the Dean Of Canterbury, who took
occasion TO reply to of the structures which had
been made upon him for taking part in the Joint
Communion service in DIR. Adams's church. Thors
was no canon in the Episcopal Church of America
forbidding such proceeding, and the Dean seemed
to be more than half of mind that it was great
advantage not to have a State Church in which
such canons could be enforced. The audience. wo
are told received the statement that IAN estab-
shed church is not altogether gain" with pro-
longed and vigorous applause.

There is no prospect chat the world will ever
know all the exact facts concerning the col
lison of the Loeb Earn and the Vile du Havre.
The investigation in London has so far devel-
oped but little, so far as we know, that can
settle the question of responsibility. Cable
dispatches say that Mr. Chas. Waite of this city,
who testified yesterday, deposed that Cap
tain Surmont was rescued by French
boat while clingng to some wreck
age. Mr.. Wates published letters show
that he had his wits about him and was dis
posed to take generous view of the lament
able particulars of the collision and his testi-
mony ought to he conclusive as to the charge
that Surmont was rescued without being in
the sea at all. 1t Is worth something to have
such shameful story brought to naught.

Last Summer, under orders from the Board
of Health, the police swept Off the unsightly
excrescences which had grown about the mar
kets. The raid was severe in its effects; but
it was sanitary necessity. The dispersed

the streets about Washington Market al
most as difficult to travel as before.

nent. 1t may seem hardship to Tear away

a great deal of wholesome comment, generally
favorable to the Recorder. OF course it will
not be expected that the Committeeman should
be pleased with so vigorous a rap on their
knuckles, and DR.. Mierson responds in the
tn quoque style natural to politicians. What
ever may be said of Judge Hackctt's practice,
his theory is wholly admirable. 1t is great
impertnence for any political organization to
ask for the appointment of a ministerial officer
of justice. and it would be a serious impro-
priety for any Judge to entertain such de-
mand.
