have had something to do with 1t. But b
this as it may, and sadly mixed as the
origin of the case undoubtedly is, we have
the authority of the entire press of Virginia
for the assertion that il is clearly and dis
tinctly developed. A tedious repetition of
details will add nothing to the interest of
the discussion, and It is sufficient
to add that among the prominent
ihcipient indications of the approach
of the disease was friendly
interest in the emotional excitementof the
game of faro, with its attendant designations,
and a sudden trip to Baltimore just at the
time when the patient should have been
placed under preliminary treatment An
other strange feature is the fact that COM
panion and friend of the unfortunate victim,
who was guilty of the same emotional ten
denotes, and is now on his way to the peni-
tertiary, where emotional insanity is some
times successfully treated, was not adjudged
by either friend or foe to be afflicted with
the disease. In his case the popular belief
was simply that he had stolen something.
But stranger STILL thetheft was not of Rad
ical or Republican doing. 1t was the act of
a Conservative gentleman, addicted to the
conservative habit of gambling, and 10 a
foolishly conservative disregard of the uses
to which he devoted the money of the State
treasury. Perhaps if the victim whose
case is under consideration had been Rad
ical he would have also been described as
an embezzler, but it would not do to have

THE MILLIONS OF PHLLADEL-
PHId

Elsewhere we print the explicit ordi.
nance passed by the City Councils of Phil
adelphia, voting On additional million to the
international celebration, on Thursday last.
We beg Congressman to ponder the terms
of this law Of the great city of Philadel.
phia, and also bear in mind that it is only q
portion of the immense amount of money
raised by that patriotic and spirited people.
1t will be seen that the money is to be
drawn by the chairman of the Finance
Centennial Committee, Hon. John Welsh,
one Of the richest, most influential and most
disinterested men in this country, largely
identified with every great progressive and
benevolent movement, and now devoting
all his time, without pay, to the proper and
liberal celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of American independence.
Associated with Mr.. Welsh are men like
John Wanamaker, the head of the great
clothing establishment in Philadelphia, one
of the most extensive concerns in the Union;
John o. James, (of the great mercantile
iirm of James, Kent, Santee & Cob VIM.
Sellers, of the extensive tool works; John
Cummings, of Massachusetts,; John Cor
ham, of Rhode Island; Abram S. Hewitt
and Thos Dudley, of New jersey; Daniel
NJ. Fox, of Philadelphia, ex-Democratic
Mayor of Philadelphia; Asa Packer, of
Pennsylvania, late Democratic candidate
for Governor; Samuel N. FELTON,, late presi-
dent of the Philadelphia and Baltimore
railroad; John Price WetheriH, Fairman
Rogers, Henry Windsor and Thomas Coch-
ran, of Philadelphia. Here we have the
men Of the whole country,
of capital, Of different politics
and of various enterprises. To their hands
will be committed the money voted outside
of the Government, and if Congress, in full
fllment of its solemn pledge and formal in
vitation to foreign Powers, shall do what it
ought to do. then the Government will un-
doubtedly appoint civil engineer like
Montgomery C. Meigs to see after the proper
expenditure of its own funds, and aid the
gentlemen above named in preserving the
Centennial free from all party bias or cor
rupt influences. When we add to this
showing that the Centennial movement has
received the Endorsement of Peter Cooper,
of New York: of Charles Francis Adams,
ir., of Massachusetts,; of Governor Parker
of New Jersey; of Ex-Governor Straw. of
New Hampshire, and of many of the ablest
men in the South, including Colonel Walter
w. wuol- Or Virginia, Hun. hioA. n.
Boteler, of West Virginia; Hon. VIM n.
Byrd, of Alabama; Hon Robert Mallory,
of Kentucky; Hon. James T. Earl, of
Maryland, and others equally well known,
no one will doubt that the organization is
in proper hands and will be conducted eco
nomically, vigorously and disinterestedly.

CHARITY AND THE PULPIT


The good work goes quietly on, and there
is every indication that the grand popular
movement in the cause of charity will be
carried to a successful conclusion. Upon
every hand noble and generous souls are
coming forward to assist in the grand IN,
dertaking, and arrangements are being grad,
uaIly perfectod on magnificent scale fol
the most creditable exhibition of benevo
lence Washington has ever witnessed. The
poor and needy have found hundreds o.
new and firm friends, who are eager and
able to devote their time to their interests,
and whose united efforts in the cause of
charity will soon be exhibited in deeds that
shall prove the extent of their selfsacrifcing
valor.
In this connection we deem it fitting to
direct few words to the ministers of the
Gospel of the District. Tomorrow will be
Easter Sunday day .fraught with glad re-
joicings; for it will be the anniversary o.
tho rising from the dead of Him who
was the embodiment of all that is good and
beautiful and charitable and benevolent
What nobler theme could be chosen on this
day than that of "charityf" Upon what
subject could more eloquence be displayed
than upon the one we have suggested The
people of the District are engaged in noble
Christian work. The pulpit can materially
aid it by giving it their hearty support ant
approval. They can urge those who love
AZ.
ment in which we are engaged by noblt
example.
The suggestion is timely one, and WI
trust the pulpit will see fit to act upon it
While we tomorrow sing hosannahs to thu
King of Kings that "Christ is risen" let u
remember that the poor we have Away
with us, and that while "faith, hope AMI
charity" abide "the greatest of these il
charity" .-..

THE Wisconsin State Journal takes up
the cry oc the people against the Democratic
monopolists, and in alluding to the recent
passage By the House of the McCrary trans
portstion bill pointedly remarks that cit is
"a continuation of the old fight The Re-
''pubicans believe this to be a government
I" of the people, by the people, and for the
people, and that among other reasons for
adopting the Constitution were the potent
''ones-to establish justice and promote the
general welfare. If any party uses the
Constitution to shield corporations in acts
'fOf injustice, apd allow them to injure the
public by oppressive charges, it violates
''the fundamental principles on which the
Constitution rests. But the Democnts
F'were well schooled on the State sovereignty
mot forgot the lessons learned. They
''found it profitable to side with the great
'tmoneyed interest against black labor.
''They evidently think it will now pay tc
make friends with the strongest money
'fpower in the land-the vast corporations
INSTEAD of listening to the demands Of
'fthe producers of the West" The Journal
is evidently inspired with the vigorous love
of the rights of the people, which served to
illustrate its principles long before and dur
ing the Democratic war to sustain slavery.

BOWNR. WHITE WAS RUINED.

Mr.. White, from the county, three miles
out on the Seventh-street road, made bad
showing before the District Investigating
Committee. He has about one hundred
and thirty acres of land on the Fourteenth
street and Seyenth-street roads, and com
plains grievously at being taxed five thou
sand dollars for roads and bridges, which
he declines to pay. His land is assessed for
about eighteen thousand dollars, and yet he
admits that he sold some of it before the
improvements were made at one thousand
dollars an acre. He dares not put an esti-
mate on the present value Of the rest of it
for fear that he will not set the price high
enough. He fears that the cost of the i'm
provements will ruin him. That is the
kind of man he is; and according to his
representations his neighbors are in the
same fix in regard to putting prices upon
their lands. Mr.. White says the roads are
in very bad condition, but are worst in the
vicinity of Governor Shepherd s farm, which
lies beyond Mr.. Whites place. This is
rather rough on those who charge the Gov
ernor with using his influence to have the
improvements made with an especial view
to the benefit of his own property. We
know quite large number of people who
would like to be ruined after the manner
complained of by Mr.. White.

TAINTED A MONARCHY

A number of Republican journals have
needlessly gone out of their way to explain
reasons why the delegates from the South
Carolina tax payers convention should re-
ceive extraordinary attention. They SEEM
ingly forget, in doing this, that they are vir-
tuslly lending aid TO the opposition, and
that, however reprehensible or faulty Re-
publican rule in that State may have been,
the true and only reliable method of reform
lies within and not outside of the Republi-
can party. They possibly do not know the
character of the men who compose and are
represented by this delegation.
We have heretofore explained that the
convention was controlled by men who. are
responsible for the theft of $1,000, 900 of
the assets of the State bank, and that its
members are, in a negative way, responsible
for the very condition Of affairs Of which
they complain, because they have persist
emily refrained from embracing the oppor-
tunities afforded them to accomplish needed
reforms in legitimate manner without
the interference of Congress, Recently,
however, weha been placed in possession
of information regarding the proceedings of
a business meeting held in Charleston
which will serve to show them up in their
true light as disafected citizens
Of the most traitorous stripe. The
meeting to which we refer was at
tended by the leading native white capital
lists of the State, and was held for the pur-
pose of enlisting the aid of certain English
capitalists, represented by a gentleman from
London, Robinson by name, in the con-
struction of the Cheraw railroad extension.
As soon as Mr.. Robinson had been properly
introduced, the participants in the meeting
began series of complaints regarding their
political affairs, coupled with congratula-
tons that Mr.. Robinson lived in country
governed by monarchy; that they were
able to grasp free citizen Of Great Britain
by the hand, and expressions of hope that
at some future day, not far distant, the Uni
ted States may be ruled either as part of
the British monarchy or as an independent
people under monarchical government of
their own choosing. As Mr.. Robinson was
an old-fashioned English Abolitionist, and
a warm friend of such men as Garrison and
Lovejoy, their congratulations missed the
work. Among others present, and who
joined in this sycophantic treason, was Mr.
8. Y. Upper, leading delegate and con-
ventionist, and other members of the dele
cation. Comment is needless.

IT HAsBEEN DETERMINED that Treasurer
Mayo, of Virginia, was sane enough at the
time he gave his testimony against Cole,
man, the defaulter, to know whereof he
testified. Coleman will therefore be sent
to the penitentiary, where he belongs
probably to call the roll of negro convicts,
or do some other clerical duty, after the
New York precedent of Stokes, Walworth,
ct I'd omns genus. Now let us hope that
some of the sham Conservatives of old Vir-
ginis viii be sane enough to admit that the
virtue of the State is not the exclusive prop
erty of the gentlemen's party" What

port of the Government during the war.
If the Tribune really believes, as It pre-
tends to imagine, that the Changers, or the
"ungranged" agricultural interest will re-
peat the folly Of disaffection to the party to
which they naturally have the right to ap-
peal for relief 1t is sadly mistaken. The
recent vote in the House on the McCrary
transportation bill will serve to rebuke them
for the error of last falls election, when
they gave the State into the hands of their
natural enemies, and when they learn that
the Republican party alone has had the
courage to resist the deceptive constitutional
sophistries of the States-rights Democrats,
and act as promptly as circumstances ad-
United for the alienation of their burdens.
Will it add circulation to the evident lesson
of the vote by printing the ayes and noes
on the bill in its columnsf Perhaps its
Democratic allies and their friends, the rail
road monopolists will object.

has been charged with personal corruption;
with robbery of every description with
fraud and malfeasance with enriching
himself at the expense of his neighbors
with encouraging, conniving at and partici.
pattng in municipal rascality; with. in
fact, all the crimes of the decalogue.
Now the time has come to prove them
and no side issues about old material. or the
piccadilloes Of members of the Legislature,
or hundred other minor things which ara
served up by the memorialists as their sub

we shall, SO far as we are able, hold these
venomous slanderers to the responsibility

rate of 500 per month for twenty-one

any legitimate service therefor. he pleads,
however, that he was engaged in the

OLD DOMINION EMOTIONAL IN
SANITY

1t has heretofore appeared that the dis
ease known as emotional insanity was ex-
clusively confined to the class of murderers
in New York and other Northern commu-
mites whose fatal freaks have brought them
into notoriety as accused criminals in the
prisoners dock. The doctors have disa-
greed regarding Its symptom, and no salts
factory diagnosis, even of the best defined
case, has ever been made. It has been
noticed, however, that the lawyers, instead
of the doctors, have invariably been the
first to discover It's existence, and, strange
to say, It's victims are always their clients.
Knowing as we do the impossibility that
If it were o Yankee innovation 1t could
assert itself in the blood of the first families
of the Old Dominion, we are compelled to
admit, In view of its recent development in
Richmond, that, with all its complications
and peculiar phases, 1t Is probably Of Vir-
ginia origin, and we Danish the idea that
Northern people, or Radicals and Republi-
cans, monopolized It with feeling Of re-
gret-a regret occasioned not less on ac-
count of the opportunity for evil effects of
the disease In its new field than anything
else, but nevertheless sincere regret

Richmond occurred before the arraignment
of the victim by any court of justice, and
seems to have been occasioned by the mere
forrnality of an arrest on suspicion. This

THE Washington correspondent os the Hart
ford Courdnt telegraphs as follows to that
journal: 1.-THE evidence produced in the Dis.
trict investigation is still of the most trivial
character. Those who originated the investi-
CATION are. privately finding fault with the
counsel for bad management, and the coun-
sci are also complaining that the witnesses
the memorialists bring forward do not give the
testimony expected. One great purpose of the
Investigation was political, and it has been
widely charged that General Babcock, the
Presidents secretary, was in real estate pool
of which so much was said. This charge is
wholly untrue, as General Babcock never had
any connection whatever with the pool"
