MPnTENT RAGE

The scandalous purposes Of the ring o
Columbus Alexander malcontents and theil
newspaper abettors have always been ap
parent, but never more so than now. Tt
know just what they are see the columns
of the New York Sun and Tribuns anC
Baltimore Sun since Monday. They be
gin to see that their pet project of placing
this District, financially and politically, il
the hands of receiver" to administer
upon Ae ''estate," is dead in the commit
tee, and they show their teeth in an unmis
taxable manner. They confidently counted
on majority of the committee for theil
corruptly partisan scheme, and having been
deceived, their rage and venom know nc
bounds. The New York Sun impudently
cracks the whip over Senator Allison
shoulders and warns him that If he darsl
to obey his own convictions instead of its
commands it will seal his political doom.
Too late Mr.. Dana, you don't own more
than one member of that committee, and
we doubt whether. he will care to stand
before his colleagues in the House of Rep
resentatives wearing your livery. The
Baltimore Sun. feebly copying the man
ners of its New York pattern, indulges in
low abuse of Senator Stewart while the
New York Tribune is reduced to the mere
parrot-like reiteration of the desires of the
most malignant memorialists, which it calls
public sentiment
Republicans in Congress, are you pre-
20 NIn e
Republican associates who have laboriously,
patiently and judicially endeavored to get
at the truth during these three long months?
Who have spared no effort shielded no
man. failed in no purpose to uncover every
wrong, evil or abuse that was supposed TO
exist? And to accept It, too, at the dicta-
tion of a gang of newspaper harpies who
threaten any man with political death who
dares disobey their commands, and who
inspired this investigation solely, as we
showed at the time, for the political scandal
they might reap from il? We ask you,
Republicans, when you order an investiga-
tion. whether, being responsible for results
you mean to control it yourselves, or
whether you will consent to surrender it
into the hands Of the correspondents of the
Sun and Tribune, to run it as a smut ma
chine for your own political defamation and
defeatf Are you under so many obligations
TO this class for kindly. considerate, and
just treatment in your public lives that you
ore willing to confess that your wisdom,
sagacity and courage are less potent to mold
correct conclusions in District affairs than
the malice and falsehood of papers like the
New York Sun and its kindred brood of
slanderersH
We do not know what results will be
achieved from the deliberations of the COM
mittee, but we do know that one or two of
the pet schepss Of the malcontents and
their newspaper allies are dead. And we
RE9o% further that this fact accounts for
their impotent rage and for their bold and
impudent attempt to apply the lash to the
Republican members of Congress, in the
expectation that they can be forced into rem
dering and ratifying just such verdict as
the blackmailing Sun and its confederates
demand. Ifsny Republican now feels this
lash, he will know for what purpose it is
applied.

THREATENING THE CONMITTEE

THREATENING THE COMMITTEE
As the end Of the labors of the Joint In
vestigating Committee into the affairs of the
District draws nearer, the slanderers upon
Newspaper Row are becoming nervous and
excited. The men who have been flooding
the country for the last three months with
unfair, malicious distorted reports of what
took place in the committee room, who sup
pressed every word and line in favor of the
District government and enlarged upon
every syllable that told against 1t. are now
endeavoring to obtain from the committee
an Endorsement of all that they have pub
llshed. The anxiety of these persons is
quite natural. If majority of the CON-
mittee, acting as judges in the matter, and
impressed with some degree of responsible
ity, shall fail to look at the testimony from
their point of view and give a verdict
against them, it will, of course, carry with
it their condemnation, and brand them as
willful ISLANDERS and falsifers. From the
written utterances of these gentlemen, it is
evident that they are very uneasy. The
presses which they have SO long used to
strike down the District government they
are now using to sustain themselves
To that end the members of the Joint
Committee are threatened in the cold and
cowardly style with which the public has
been so long familiar. Take, for instance,
the Tribune yesterday. In its Washington
columns it says that certain gentlemen
'have been working with the greatest eau
''tion and secrecy" to influence the CON-
mittee; that 'their names are known, and
publication of them would be far from
pleasant, Now, print the names. Let
US have them. Never mind about the
''pleasantness. And, again. members
''of the committee must understand that so
'fntense is popular feeling that the sug-
"gestion of whitewash In their report
will cause their political death" "Pop-
ular feeling" wheref In the Tribune
Officer Where is the evidence, the
manifestation of itH But the crowning
impudence of the Tribune correspond
ent asserts itself in the following
sentence: There are two or three things
that those who have brought about the in
'yestigstion, and who now desire to see the
ring utterly destroyed, demand" ODE
mand" is good. But who are they who
demanded the investigation Zebulon
White, o reporter of the New York Tri-
bune; A. M. Gibson, of the New York
Sun, and the forty or fifty note-shavers
and obstructionists, whose principal bust
ness In this city has been to prey upon the
poor and the oppressed; who have been
again and again beaten at the polls and in
the courts; who, for the most part, were
slsvers during slavery, and rebels during
rebellion. These men demand that Mr..
Willard, one of our largest property hold
ers; DR.. Blake, one Of our most respected
citizens. shall be incapacitsted from hold
ing office in this city in the future; shall be
condemned as dishonest and unfaithful to
their trust, merely to crafty and sustain q
man whose reputation rests upon the theft
of treaty; who was saved from the county
Jail by legal technicality. The threats Of
these men are simply infamous, disgrace
to journalism, and an insult to the commit.
tee and to Congress.

HON WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON

HON WILLIAM a. RICHARDSON
This gentleman, who has just passed
from the Cabinet to the bench of the Court
of Claims, has suffered long and deeply
and silently from most ungenerous attacks
by the opposition, sometimes yclept indie
pendent press Educated to the bar, and
called early to the bench of his native
State, he led quiet, studious life, and soon
acquired an enviable reputation as an au-
thor and jurist.
Never having mixed actively in politics
it was with the greatest reluctance that he
consented to accept, even for few months,
the Office Of Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury. Perhaps he then distrusted his
ability to cope with the adroit political
managers and unprincipled tricksters with
whom he foresaw that he should be brought
in contact in the Treasury Department.
He at length gave up his own better judg.
ment to the persuasions of his friends.
If his views of finance were not so broad
and comprehensive as some could have
wished. they were, at least, sound, as far as
revenue laws were administered by him, SC
far as he had personal cognizance Of theil
workings, with an eye single to the faith

tics and laid chiefly in ignoring Newspaper
Row. He not only did not run after the
specials, but he did not even load and fire
the Associated Press guns True, this was
a sin Of omission, but the Secretary proba,
bly, never dreamed of having committed it
until the foolish laugh was raised upon his
proposition to substitute small coins fol
fractional currency. He, no doubt, then
wondered what was the matter with the
boys on the Row. Upon the sound principle
that our approach to the specie basis must
be very gradual, not to create dangerous
revulsion, but that such an approach should
be commenced, and the sooner the better,
his conduct was not only dsfensible, but
praiseworthy. Newspaper Row, however.
never does anything in small way. In
fact, it rather depises the day Of small

We WERE in error yesterday in stating under
the head Of "Capitol and Department" that the
appropriation BY the committee oftbe House for
Gatling guns was for experimental purposes
At the last session Of Congress q small ap-
preparation was made for this purpose and ex-
perimsnts were entered upon by board Of dis
tinguished army officers, which led to the
adoption Of this arm, and an estimate from the
War Department for the number Of guns re-
commended by the board as needed the first Of
July TO commence the armament Of our fortih-
cations. The report Of this board of officers.
which we have before rs, Is, we are assured,
the most exhaustive and thorough on this i'm
portant arm that has beea made In this or any
other country. The trials prove incontestably
the great value Of the Calling gun, and the
necessity that this country be supplied with
them, as has been done by other frst-clsss
Powers. It is to be regretted that the entire
amount estimated has not been approved BY

THE Senate yesterday discussed cheap trans
portation. It Is somewhat remarkable that
Senators should have instanced the Pennsylya-
mia canals, which traversed an unfavorable
route and were never finished, to show the fail
ure of canal transportation as an economical
method of moving agricultural products, when
the New York canals are living monuments OF
the striking success Of that method. These
Senators will next advocate the construction OF
railways, for the transportation of logs to mill
and lumber to market, as being cheaper IL n

SENATOR scorT made an adverse report yes-
terdsy from the Committee on Finance upon g
resolution asking for information Of names Of
delinquent Disturbing officers, and the balances
due BY them, and what measures have been
taken 10 collect the same. This is nght-not
because the Information is not proper to be
given, but because 1t Is generally contained In
the annual reports Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury, Solicitor and Comptroller, and can
easily be obtained BY slight search. In the
present instance 3 new collection of the infor-
nation called for would have involved several
months time and an expense of $4,000.
Members of Congress are much in the habit Of
calling for Information whenever they think
they want it, regardless of the expense, and
not unfrequsntly when It is Cd obtained in the
documents accompanying the Iast one, two OF
