The Marshal was told that he could nave
troops IL they were really necessary, but MI.
Williams hoped he could get along without
them. It is not clear from this dispatch
whether the "officers of the Govern
"ment in Petersburg" over whom the
Marshal was to extend the @gis OF
his protection were the municipal ana
State functonaries, or only the agents OF the
Federal Administration the designation Is
broad enough to include all officers, and 1t Is
no new thing in the South for the President
of the United States to meddle with petty
local dignitaries and ward politics; but Droba-
bly, Mr.. Williams only meant to intimate that
the Federal officers who arrested the judges OF
election, under the enforcement law, must De
protected i'm the execution of their warrant.
1t is strange that bitter experience has not
taught Southern Republicans the folly and
danger of calling upon the General Govern
ment to do the work Of policemen and con-
stables. The General Government undertook
to regulate the domestic affairs of Louisiana
by means of the Collector and Marshal OF
New Orleans. and the result was the destruc-
ton almost of the semblance of State author
ity. The General Government took the con-
Germs of South Carolina under its paternal
care, and the consequence was bankruptcy.
The General Government tried to rule Arkan-
sas and Alabama, and brought about universal
corruption and generalization in both States.
eliminating in one of them in civil war. All
these disastrous experiments have begun IN
the same way, by ciques of politicians run
ring to Washington for help in their local
difficulties, calling for troops" whenever
they were afraid Of being beaten at the cleo
tons, or dressing up the President with blue
frock coat, leather cap, and locust club,
and bidding him keep the peace for them.
There is not likely to be any trouble In
Petersburg but it is pity the application OF
Mcssrs. Plat and Stowell should not have
been answered with little wholesome advice
from the President on the subject of local
self government.

The Senatorial fever which has been Selling 80
many Ring politicians of late, has assumed in some
parts of the Union the proportions of an epidemic.
According to Senator TptOns statement in Congress
more than year ago, every able-boded man in Ne
braska was then candidate for his seat which will
not become vacant for more than year to come |;
but considering the relative size Of tho populations.
the condition of things must be much worse in
Rhode Island, where on tho first ballot the other
day fourteen candidates received votes, beside no
doubt great many who hoped to get some but
didn't. But what we wanted moro especially to call
attention to was the discovery in that modest and
industrious little State Of an undoubted case of shoe
latchets. Whenever ex-Congressman Dixon's turn
comes to vote for Senator he votes for exCongress
man Dixon, with discrimination and good sense
sbared by Is or % Of his fellow members, but unfor-
tunately not by majority. II would be cold and
cruel to find fault with this proceeding Nobody is
an familiar with Dxons qualities of mind and heart
az Dixon himself and his vote is simply the verdict
Of An impartial observer In his favor. Besides, Mr.
DIXON il merely following out TO their legitimate
conclusion the maxims Of tho time. No doubt no
scorns the notion that thcro may exist IN Rhode
Island or any other main division Of this terrestrial
hall. anybody worthy to unloose his shoo-atchets.
No doubt he would be genial mate for Sawyer who
probably thinks that no ought to DO Secretary OF
the Treasury, or Pomeroy who holds that Kansas
and not himself Is the chief Of sinners The Senate
rial fever has flown TO Mr. Dixons heels instead OF
his mead As his name is called, he significantly ex-
bibits his shoe atches-and the clerks tally one for
Dixon. Still IA The Commercial Advertiser limited the
other evening" 1t does seem as If he might vote for
Whittier.
We were not mistaken in the belief that the good
ci,izens of Brooklyn would feel deeply the shame
and disgrace brought upon their fair city by their
recreant officials and tho failure Of the courts to
punish tho Offenders. Tho circumstances were

II was perhaps hardly necessary for the
friends of Gen. Dix to make a formal publca-
ton Of his views On the temperance question;
but the letter which appears In The Syracuse
Journal ought to put an end to the isjudicious
attacks which have been made upon the Gov
ernor by certain jealous reformers, who are so
strongly convinced OF the sonndness OF their
own methods Of doing good that they can see
nothing but evil in any other.

Undismayed by the experiments of others,
the bricklayers are now on strike. Very
many of them bitterly regret step which all
but the moro ignorant see to be ill-timed and
little likely to lead to success. They say,
however, that the Union having voted for it,
they dare not disobey. Few of the large en-
ployers will consent, in the face of the gen.
era depression of business. to make any
advance in wages; and, judging from late
experiences, there can be little doubt that
they will soon be able to fill the
places of the strikers and 60 on with what
little work is in progress as well az at present.
Nearly all the builders would gladly pay the
advanced wages il the men would consent to
work ten hours a day but this they utterly
refuse. We trust that each side TO the con-
nct may now remember that the other has
rights which must be respected. IL is the
unquestioned right Of the bricklayers TO get a.

questioned right Of the employers to get their

The vote in the French Assembly yesterday.
by which the Constitutional bill introduced by
the Left Center was declared urgent" is not
without significance. 1t shows that dozen or
more members of the Right Center ARE dis
posed to support the bill. When the final vote
is cast, if the members of that party who abb
stained from voting pursue the same course
as on this test question, a defnitive solution
of the constitutional problem is near at hand.

The dog-murdcring business is as brisk as
ever, and dog-stealing is rapidly becoming one
of the great professions. Yesterday there were
rumors of hydrophobia at the pound-rumors
no doubt, entirely without foundation. Chained,
beaten tormented, and half-starved. it would
be strange if many of the unfortunate ami
mails confined in Thirty seventh-st were not
driven into fits; but rabies is not caused by
ill-treatment, and we do not believe any case
of it has occurred.
