AN EXPERIMENT THAT FAILED Three young
men residing in the neighborhood of the Vir-
GINA Midland depot, fell in love with the same
young lady, but being firm friends they did
not want to fall out about the matter, SO de-
cided to leave it TO the decision of the fair one
herself. Last Wednesday The three called on
the lady, and, making known their business,
asked her to choose. The lady informed them
that they were all ESQ nice'' that she really
couldn't decide, so could not take either; and
they left, sadder if not wiser young men,

MILITARY ORDERS FROM New SouRoE.
the telegram addressed by Attorney General
Williams to the United States marshal at Pc
tersburg, published Monday, is the following
paragraph;
''You are instructed to take the necessary
steps TO protect tue property of the United
States from injury and the officers of the gov
eminent in Petersburg from any violent in
reference with them in the performance of
their official duties, and TO that end, if you
think proper, you may summon posse of the
citizens to aid you but if these men are found
inadequate for the purpose, you will be fur
nshed, upon call made by you upon me,
with troops from Fortress Monroe. 1t is de-
sirable not to use troops if possible
1t would be edifying to know by what au-
thority an Attorney General of the United
States--a mere subordinate of the President
in the law carbohydrates TO anybody
troops from Fortress Monroe, or anr other
quarter2 So far as we know he has about as
much right in the premises as he would have

forces in the West, and to regulate their trans
portation, whether by water, railroad, landau
let, or otherwise -Balto Sun.

EDUCATION The late Edward Everett con-
densed into single brief paragraph his esti-
nation of what constituted good education.
Here il is; To read the English language well,
to write with dispatch a neat, legible hand,
and be master of the first four rules of arith-
metic, so as to dispose of at once, with aceu-
racy, every question of figures which comes
And if you add the ability to write pure gram
NAUTICAL English, regard it as an excellent ed
ucaton. These are the tools. You can do
much with them, bnt you are helpless without
them. They are the foundation !; and unless
you begin with these, NIL your fiashy attain
ments, a little geology and all other ologies
and osophies are ostentatious rubbish.

CuRlous LEGISLATION. The last Legislature
passed an act establishing a police force in
Annapolis No sooner were appointments
made under the act than the municipal an
ihoritcs of the place ask for mandamus
against them, on the ground that the act pass
ed at the last session was not passed as the law
requires.
The petitioners claim they are the rightful
authorities Of the city. They charge that the
Governo: has undertaken TO appoint police
commissioners under an act passed by the Lee
gislaiure which was never passed or approved
as the constitution OF this State requires. They
charge that bill having this for its object
passed the House of Delegates on the 3Oth Of
March, 1874, was sent to the Senate, where,
before il was passed, ii was lost or mislaid or
purloined and removed from the Senate cham
Der. They claim that another bill, differing
in hct and contents, was prepared, and en-
tries were made protesting to be in conformity
with the action of the House upon the origi-
nal bill, which draft was passed by the SEN
ate. This, it is alleged, was approved by the
Governor on the llih day of April, 1874 -
They also charge that neither one of The said
bills. nor any other having the same object in
view, was passed by both Houses and approved
Dy the Governor.

A BAD LOT OF STATE OFFICERS.

NEW YORK, June ia letter to the Times
from Charleston says: From the official re-
cords of the prosecuting attorneys of the diff
ferent circuits of South Carolina il will be seen
that one-third of the number of persons hold
ing minor positions have been indicted for
some offence committed during their terms Of
office, and a much larger proportion is charged
with crimes Of various kinds prior 10 their APP
pointment. Charleston county is, perhaps,
worse in this particular than any other portion
of the State. From the highest to the lowest
State officer in the district nearly all have been
charged WITH and many of them convicted of,
one or more offences.
Among the cases cited by the Times is that of
Richard II. Cain, Congressman at large, who
is charged with fraudulent transactions, but
has not yet been prosecuted because he was
high in the favor of the State government.

TEz DgsrEucs 2xvEs-saaTsNs COMMITTEE have
publisSe3 tAtsr rsqorq, and if IL does not expose
those veo wsrs sagkgea ia swindling the CO.
yernmsnt, !. shows q Wasiefal extravaganza
of the public money. As the Baltimore Anier-
lean remarks; No man is charged with dis
honesty. The faeis are stated, and honest
people left to draw their own differences. The
committee take pains TO show that the restric-
lions and limitations of the act of February
u, 1871, providing for the reorganization Of
the District Government were utterly disre-
garded and that a gigantic debt was saddled
upon the people without warrant of law. A
plan of improvement was submitted 10 the
District Legislature and adopted by that body
which contemplated the expenditure of 81
1853, 598. The Board Of Public Works expen-
ded $ls S72, 565, or more than $l2, 900, 600 in
excess Of the estimate upon which the plan APP
proved by the Legislature was based The
manner of making contracts was reckless, and
the system of bookkeeping inexplicable. The
debt of the District is something like $780,
600, 600. An account was made out against
tue UDlNtu tOldltS 1ONtTImtub, III winch tne
sum Of 81, l40, 472.94 was claimed as due the
District on account of improvements in the vi
entity Of the public buildings. The committee
show that this account is "widey wrong"
For instance, the Government is charged with
So, 740, 6sl SO for sewerage, whereas the " hole
system OF sewerage for the city, when compile
ted, will only cost So, 435, 1888. The com
mittee recommend, first, the abolition of the
present District Government; second, the levy
ing of a tax OF per cent. on real estate in
Washington d per cent in Georgetown, and
per cent. in the District outside of these two
cities; and third, an appropriation by Con-
gress of ST. ,854, l0S.47 to pay off the laborers
who are suffering for want of their wages, and

THE ATTACK ON THE PREss-The eleventh
section of the bill regulating the jurisdiction
of Circuit Courts in the District of Columbia,
By which the proprietors of newspaper pub
lished in any section of the country may be
compelled TO appear in Washington to defend
themselves in suits, is exciting considerable
comment. Following SO close upon the fail
ure OF the District ring TO bring Mr.. Charles
A. Dana before police court for trial with
out jury, and upon the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of the correspondent Buell.,
who was pr ceeded against by Senator Chand-
Ter, in which jurisdiction in such cases was
denied by the conrt, it seems as if the deliber-
ate intent of Senators Carpenter and Conl>
ling, who pushed the bill through, 10 create a
local court having jurisdiction over the news
papers Of the whole country. The debate on
the bilplainly showed that this was their de-
liberate design, persevered in against able. and
eloquent protests. A bill similar in its pro-
visions was offered in the House Judiciary
Committee, and the section was passed over,
but upon some of the members becoming aware
of the nature of its provisions, it was recon-
sidered. Several members opposed the sec
