shameless violation of law; that the Wash
ington ring had plunged the city in the
most hopeless ruin, piled up debt OF from
twenty to thirty-five millions of dollars
Mr.. Merrick, the counsel for the memorial
lists, asserted it was twenty seven millions
-bankrupted half the property holders and
filched from their pockets millions and mil
lions of dollars. 1t was asserted that these
i'll gotten gains were turned over to mem
bers of the Cabinet, the Presidents init
mate friends and to members Of the Senate
and House.
Well the elections are all over, and the
campaigns have come to an end, and how
does the record stand? The three distin-
guished gentlemen who were appointed to
manage the affairs of the District last June,
to extricate the city from its financial en-
barrassmentS, to ascertain its debt have
presented their report, and in it we find
that the debt of the District is less by one
million than one half what Mr.. Merrick
asserted it to be. He said, as we have
stated above, that the debt of the District
was twenty-seven millions of dollars. The
Commissioners in their report set down the
debt at thirteen millions. Deducting from
this the amount which the United States
lawfully owes the District, nearly five mil
lions of dollars, we have a debt of between
eight and nine millions Of dollars. In
other words, taking the figures of the
Commissioners without deduCting the in
debtedness of the United States, we find
that Washington has been made the
finest city in the Union if not
in the world at a cost of less than the Dem
Ocratic managers in New York city eX-
pended upon a single building-the new
courthouse. In this report of the COmmis
sioncTs, which was printed in our columns
Yesterday, we have the vindiCatiOn of Mr..
Cooke and Mr.. Shepherd, the Board Of
Public Works and of the President Of the
United States, to whom the capital and its
citizens owe more than to any President
since Washington laid out its broad squares
and avenues. The vindicatiOn Of these
gentlcmen-and especially Of Governor
Shepherd, who last summer was COldly and
cruelty inundated to crafty pirates and
outlaws like Dana-thus comes sooner and
stronger than even he and his most intimate
friends expected it would come. Where
are The stolen millions about which we
heard so much? The bribery and the job
berry and the corruption have all vanished
into thin air, and there is no lOop-hole by
which independent editors" can escape
their own condemnation, except by asSail-
ing gentlemen of the rank and fame of men
like Mr.. Dennison and Mr. Blow as they
assaiIed those who preceded them in the
management of the District.

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

The action of the late convention of the
friends ofcheap transportation at Richmond,
Va, is of significant importance. The
personnel of the body referred to repre-
sented largely the active business men Of
the country. They did not hesitate to de-
clare that the paramount question in their
politics, as well as of those of the people
whom they represented, would henceforth
be control of rates of freight by existing
routes, and the rapid opening Of those
water routes designated by the Window
committee as worthy of construction by
the General Government.
The question of the constitutional power
of Congress to construct such commercial
arteries was raised but once, and then by
delegate from Texas. He was silenced by
Mr.. Frobell, of Georgia, who quoted from
Mr.. Madison, the reputed father of the
Con stitution, upon that point who, when
President recommended an improvement
in the Southwest He added that. while
his own mind was perfectly clear upon the
subject, if the language of the Constitution
was at all ambiguous in this respect, no
time should be lost in making the necessary
correction by an amendment comforting

A NOVEL and quite interesting law case is
now pending in one of the New York courts,
which concerns those newspapers that are ac-
customed to make extravagant statements re-
garding the immensely of their circulation for
the purpose of inducing people to advertise in
their columns. The New York Tribune has
instituted a suit against one of its advertisers
in its weekly edition who defends upon the
ground that false represent ations were made
to him regarding the volume of its circulation
as an inducement. The circulation was alleged
to be 10000, whereas the defendant believes
it was absUrdly below that amount. Upon the
issue thus joined in the case the defendant
asked for an order to compel the plaintiffs to
submit their books for examination by the de-
PENDANTS attorney. This motion was resisted,
two of the officers of the association, Messrs.
Whitelaw Reid and Gordon L. Ford, offering
instead to submit afiidayits showing the exact
circulation of the paper at the time the con-
tract for advertising was made. In deciding
the motion, Judge Freedman says: "If the
plaintiff, within twenty days after the service
of copy of the order to be entered on this
motion, shall furnish to the defendant a state
ment extracted from the plaintiffs books and
uuly sworn 10 Dy McSsfs. W nlJelaW hehl ana

Weekly Tribune between the 18th and 30th of

copies Otherwise distributed of each edition,
the number of copies returned and unsold of
each edition, and, in addition, will stipulate,
as offered, to produce on the trial of the action
such books and papers in plaintiffs possession
as the defendant may specify in a notice to

and in such manner as the court may then and
there direct-the defendants motion for dis
covery is denied. In case of noncompliance
with these conditions, or any of them, the de-
PENDANT may Lave, at the Office of the plaintiff
and in the presence of the attorney or counsel
of the plaintiff, an inspection of such of the
plaintiffs books and papers as will show the
matters concerning which the above statement
is required to be giVen.'

THE infationists opened the discussion
upon the finances of the country yesterday,
under the lead of Messrs. Kelley and But
Ter, with great spiritand plausibility. But
the great difficulty with the convertible
bond proposition seems likely to be that no
one will give the Government greenbacks
for convertible 3-G5 bonds so long as they
can loan them to business men and others,
or upon real estate security, at from six to
ten per cent. per annum. The theory is
very fine, but it appears to be utterly i'm
practicable at present Although it must
be admitted that such bonds would be in
trinsically 3-65 per annum better than a
greenbaek as an investment, it will be hard
to induce people to exchange greenbacks
for them while they can loan the former on
good security for double that interest.

NEARLY all the Journals which have
Lccn received speak in the highest terms
of the Presidents message. The suggcs-
tons contained in it are regarded as sound
and patriotic; 50 much so that the editors
who most bitterly hate him do not dare to
send with it to their readers their usual
measure Orabuse and condemnation. Even
Chas. 4. Dana is compelled TO admit its
force and wisdom upon all the questions of
the day. The journal founded by Mr..
Greeley says the party will do we'll to fol-
low his recommendations if ii cares to save
itself. Will Congress do so?

THE new bill for the government of the
District is the subject of good deal of dis
cussion among members of Congress and
our own citizens. While some of the fea-
lures of the bill are undoubtedly good, the
general opinion seems to be that the plan
of government proposed by it is even more
Cumbrous than that of the late government.
If nothing better can be matured during
the short session of Congress the District
had better remain where it is and wait for
rs and the advent of the Democracy. Is
the Republican party prepared for this re-
treat upon the government of this District?
