A PECULIARLY hideous grey cloth wrap,
called "the Boston," is the latest fashion fam
cy in travelling costumes. As it has the Bos-
ton stamp, New England women are expected
to eagerly accept it. But the Modern Athens
in setting herself up as glass of fashion is
committing grievous mistake, second only
to the destruction of the Paddock elms. Her
taste in literature and art is unexceptionable
but her taste in travelling costumes is execra-
BILE. She attempts too much in taking all
knowledge to be her province. She has given
to the world the Atlantic Monthly and the
heliotypes of the Gray collection, for which
we are all grateful; but when she projects a
new wrap she ANONYMOUSLY fails. This high
est triumph of modern civilization is not for
her, and the New England axiom that the
voice of Boston is the voice of God is sub
ject to limitation in the direction of outer
garments. a,f.....

AFTER all that has been said, the Senate
currency bill is not so much Of an imitation
measure as has been supposed. If the Sec
rotary of the Treasury is inclined toward con-
traction there is nothing in the bill to pre-
vent him from Withdrawing the $4,000, 900
reserve, and no provision in the bill to COM
pei him to issue to the lirait of $500, 600, 900.
As to the increase of national bank circula-
ton $40 0OO, 900, the provisions of the new
bill in regard to the amount and place of
keeping bank reserves, increases the reserve
of the present bank circulation, including
the $46,0OO,000 proposed, $35, 500, 900, SO that
the amount of net imitation on the increase of
bank circulation is only SIC, 500, OOO..

PRESERVATION OF WAR DOCUMENTS.
Senator Logan, chairman of the Military
Committee, is considering proposition looking
to the preservation of the records of the war,
by printing those portions which are essential
to full and impartial history. At the close of
the war, Congress directed this work to begin,
and quite mass of records were copied and
sent to the printers. Before they were put in
type, for some reason not fully understood, all
further steps were suspended. Twice since, the
largest part of the records, including Confed-
crate archives, have been seriously endangered
by fire, and as none are in fire proof rooms or
buildings, the risk of their destruction is very
great Aside from this, the customs and rules
of the department do not permit any inspec-
ton of these records for other than official pur
poses, Several persons of standing, DESTROYS
of preparing a history Of certain campaigns or
battles, have found it impossible to obtain ac-
cess to the proper official documents. This dis
hculty does not arise from any design on the
part of the authorities to conceal them, but
such history is distributed through reports,
collections of dispatches, etc., belonging to the
papers of the Office, and such search as would
be required cannot well be made for individuals
Aside from the question of preservation of the.
records it is regarded as but just to all who
served in and who supported the war to have
it is held that no one could be injured by such
publication, except such as deserved to be,
while the countless unjust thin gs done waRld

The U. $. EsArotss.a,p AGAIN.

Wepresuine the election for United
States Senator will take place early
this week, and nothing we could say
now would>have any effect in deter
mining the result. We have the ut
most confidence that Judge Reagan
will be selected. In reference to the
charge that he was one of the first
men in the South to council submis-
sion, after the war, we have this to
say; That fact proves that Reagan.
while devoted and distinguished
Confederate officer, and with all the
devotion to our section that warm
and sangulue temperament would
naturally inspire in his hresst, yet
had coolness ane Judgment enough in
that dark and trying moment to
weigh properly all the chances Of the
situation, and to advise the course
that alone could lead to settlement
OF the future relations of the con-
quered States with the general gov
ernment. We have been forced to
come TO 1t in the end. 1t might have
been bettev for Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana had they
accepted the situation promptly. In
this State, if Reagan's advice had
haYe been acted upon, we would
have been spared the last, if not
other terms Of Radical domination,
and Coke, or some other good Demo
crat, would have been Governor of
Texas long before the 18th of Janu-
ary, 1874.
AS to his record on the Increase
Salary Bill, Judge Reagan regrets
that it had ..any shack pay" feature
in it. But, in common with all who
have devoted thought to the sub
ject, is convinced that the pay of a
Congressman Is too small to maintain
respectable position in the Capital
of the nation, and he only advised
what every legislative body in the
nation are necessarily compelled,
sooner or later, to do1-viz.: fix the
rate OF their own pay. In proof of
which we have only to say that be
was the leading spirit In the "Plat-
form Committee" of the late Demo
cratic Convention at Austin. This
document, we believe, is considered
sufficiently orthodox by the party
who won under it the proudest Dem,
ocratic victory of modern days.
Judge Reagan is not a man who
would pander to an unfounded aud
unjust prejudice. to mount the proud
EST throne in christendom. He Ia
strong in the consciousness of the rec. |
itude of his own intentions, and is
'ontent to let history defend public
areer singularly free from taint, or
ven the suspicion of demagog sery,
dishonesty or unfaithfulness. The
'eople ofTexas know him well. The
eyday OF his manhood has been de-
oted to their service, IN positions of
ublie trust and confidence, and in
rying times and under trying cir

tical knowledge, she has had in her >
