WASHlNGTOAy MATTERS.

General Myers Of the eignal service is car
nestly opposing any reduction of the force
and, also, proposition emanatiDg from the
Engineer Corps that Il be Entrusted with tht
signal service.
The ways and means committee defeated
Kelley's s-e5 bonds bill BY large majority,
only Kelley and Sheldon voting for it.
The House made final disposition of the
West Virginia election cases by seating the
persons elected in October. This has been
one of the most closely contested cases fol-
many years. The rejected August contest
ants are both democrats. Mr.. Haeans is a
republican Mr.. Davis is democrat.
The Senate Finance Committee have agreed
| to bill Increasing the capital Of gold banks
throughout the country. The Presidents OF
several of these banks who appeared before
the committee, stated that the capital is now
limited to 81, ooo, 900. They desired to have
the law changed to allow an indefinite in
crease of capital. The bill of the committee
fixes it at 100000.
The President, it is stated, after consulta-
ton with his Cabinet, Wednesday, decid-
ed not to send any message to Congress con-
corning the Louisiana affairs. Republicans
from that State are understood to have ad
vised him against such action, believing that,
while it might stir Up much unpleasant dis
cussion, it could do no good. It'll stated that
the wing of the party in the State led by Col
lector Casey has broken with the kellogg
wing, and the former favor a new election.
The House Committee on Appropriations
have finally determined to recommend res
olation providing that work on public build
ings not begun shall not be commenced, and
that the appropriations therefor be covered into
the Treasury; also, that the Secretary of the
Treasury may, in his own discretion, suspend
work on all public buildings in process Of con-
struction. There will be opposition to this
resolution in the House. 1t can be considered
certain that all Representatives in whose dis
tricts appropriations have been made for build
ings not commenced, will be united against
the resolutions. They urge that it is unfair
to ask that the appropriations for such build
ings be covered into the Treasury, and main
tain that that they should be held for the pur-
pose for which they were originally designed.
until such time as the condition of the country
and of the Treasury will warrant the expen-
diture.
Several amendments have been made by
the Banking and Currency Committee to their
free banking bill, the most important of which
is one providing that the Secretary of the
Treasury be authorized to issue, the LIST Of
February next 100000 of United States
notes of the denomination of $40, payable in
gold, two years after date, not exchangeable
for notes now in circulation; greenbacks, to
be cancelled as they come in, mutilated or
counterfeite1, for destruction, not to be re-
Issued. This is regarded as step toward re-
sumption Of specie payment

GRANT AND JOHNSON.

The editorial of the Maine Standard,
comparing the course of. President Grant
in relation to the difficulty in Texas con-
corning State officers TO the reconstruction
policy of President johnson, would have
more force if there were any resemblance
between the things compared. II the
Standard had examined the policy o.
Mr.. johnson the editorial referred t.
would probably never have appeared
Wherein the refusal of President Gran,
to interfere with the dispute about State
officers in Texas, can be likened to the
policy of johnson, which presumed to es'
tablish State governments In the South, 10
demand immediate representation in Con-
gress without regard to the fact that the
States had recently been in rebellion, to
make himself the judge Of their right to
seats, and to do these and other acts OF
like character by his own absolute will and
power, is something very difficult to see.
The one seems like the act Of President
keeping carefully to the path Of duty; the
other the policy of a despot, usurping and
trampling upon the rights of coordinate
branch Of government, making his will
the supreme law in the important work OF
reconstruction. We refer the Standard to
Horace Greeley's views upon the policy OF
Andrew johnson, as published in the
Tribune about the time of the impeach-
.ment trial. We believe Mr.. Greeley was
the last Presidential candidate which the
Standard supported.

AIDING THE BLUENOSES.

A correspondent Of the Argus is very
DESTROYS that we take notice of the follow
ing paragraph which appeared in that
paper:
In 1860, II per cent. Of our foreign trade
was carried in American bottoms; in 1864, AZ
per cent. in 1868, "A per cent; in 1871, 3S per
cent; in 1872, 20 l.2 per cent. in 1873, 81
per cent
What we have to say about it is, that if
the figures are correct as stated above, it
furnishes proof that all the vessels which
can be built in Maine will be needed for
some time to come, unless free trade in
ships is allowed. There is demand for
more vessels than we have. But if free
trade is allowed New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia will come into the market with
their cheap vessels, and destroy the bust
ness of the Maine shipyards. What the
Dominion people wish us to do in the mat
ter is precisely what We ought not to do.
But the Argus favors the free trade policy,
that will build up St. John, and opposes
keeping the business in the shipyards Of
Maine. We can see nothing very attrac-
tive for Maine shipbuilders in policy like
that. As national policy we ought to
build our own vessels instead of employ
ing foreigners to do it for us. 1t is nc
wonder that the democrats of Maine are
in the minority while they hold to meas
ures to enrich the bluenoses and starve the
people Of their own State. Unless they
take new departure on the shipbuilding
question they will lose and ought to lose
the support of every shipbuilder in Maine.

The Advertiser has not abused Mr.. Ham.
lin. We have stated simply, what we be-
lieve to be true, that on the vital issue Of the
present day, Mr.. Hamlin holds one opinion
and the majority Of Republican voters in
Maine hold another. Mr.. Hamlin believes he
has right to use the whole array of govern.
ment officers in this State as an electioneering
force to procure his denomination and re.
election; we regard the system which gives
him this power as monstrous abuse, which
ought to be and must be completely broken
up. Now, before talking Of "bolting." will
the Kennebec Journal say plainly, which Of
these two opinions is Republican doctrine p
Portland advertiser.
The Advertisers language in previous
articles is the best evidence whether Mr..
Hamlin has been fairly treated in its col.
ums. What the Advertiser believes in re.
gard to the opinion of the voters in Maine
is entitled to consideration only as an
opinion Of the Advertiser, nothing more.
In regard to what Mr.. Hamlin believes or
disbelieves in relation to the reform OF
the civil service we are not authorized to
speak, but since the Advertiser has no OBJ
lection to joining hands with democrats
in the election Of United States Senator,
who claim our civil service system as the
special work of their hands, it seems to us
to be broadly inconsistent in Directing to
Mr.. Hamlin as it does, even if his views
are as represented in the article above.
A civil service reformer going over to the
democrats for aid and sympathy is like a
lamb seeking protection from wolf The
republican doctrine question may be
settled by reference to the republican
platform.

Pertinent Questions.

The Red ngRepublican says: speak
ing of the Republican State Convention,
Although this body will have few nom
nations to make, it will have per.
plexity in another direction greater
than any that has assembled lately.
What shall it say in reference to the
back pay outrage, or shall it say any
thingq Mr.. Dunnell. who took the back
pay, and voted to reduce the salaries as
required by the last State Convention,
liz renominatcd already, and the indica-
tions seem to point to the denomination
of Gen. Averill, who took the back pay
and voted against the reduction Of sal.
aries.
If the State Convention says nothing
about the back-paysters this year, will
it be thought to have been sincere in
the resolution of last year! If it re-
afiirms it's denunciations of back-pa-.
brabbers, will it be thought to be sim
cere now, when two of the three dis
'tricts have renominated them. Again
if it denounces the taking of back pay
how will it leave Averill and Dunnell
IF it does not, how will it leave the par
ty! These are conundrums that we
should prefer, if possible, to give up.

personal reasons, for our financial sue
cess is already more than assured.

goes wherever the poison is spread, we
have no fears for the result. Circulate

Most OF the newspapers published in Con-
stantinople are suspended during several
months Of the year, by order of the Govern
ment. The last suspension was that of the
Levant Times, for having printed some news
about the private affairs of the late Minister
OF Foreign Affairs.-Erchange.
That's what the Republicans would
like to bring the newspapers to in this
country. If we had such law as that
we never would have been troubled
with editorials adverse to the Chorpen-
ming claims and Secor swindles, and
even Williams laundalet would have
escaped notice.

Some ''heavy dorg" in Hastings,
having first strengthened his stomach
for the disgusting task, proceeded to
puff Strait; but he did it in such a
clumsy style that even Frank Daggett,

stand it, and so he rises to remark:
In speaking of the peculiar qualifications
Of Major Strait, for Congress, the Hastings
