THE Chicago Tribune suggests that
if the very plain spoken bill introduced
by Mr.. O'Brien passes Congress, the
great National Livery Stable and In
telhgence Office at Washington Will be
broken up. If the bill should become
n law it Will work a revolution in Off
cial practices about Washington, where
royalty is being aped to a wonderful
extent.

IT appears that Ben. Butler is not
held in very high esteem in some por-
tons of Maine. The Portland Press
remarks: Butler! Why that is the
name with which good parents in
Maine brighten their unrUly children.
If the National Constitution should be
changed to conform to that Of Great
Britain, SO that we could select non
residents for our representatives in
Congress, Butler could never receive
our suffrages so long as we could choose
between him and Brick Pomeroy, or
JEFF. Davis, or Tweed, or Oakley Hall.
No, with all our faults We haven't
reached that depth"
