the Attorney General seems to have chung to

However, Ole Feel, as his Radical chums
call him, is curious character, and there is
no telling what he may do much less what he

attempt to deprive thousands of naturallzed

TIE PROCTOR SUIT.

The referee in the suit of Miss Proctor
against Francis ID. MOulton has made his re-
port, and finds that "the imputatlons and
statements made upon and concerning the
character and conduct OF the plaintlh" III
the libelous publication "wcre wholly and ab-
solutely untrue" Mr.. Moulton professed in
court to have repeated merely the statements
of Mr.. Beecher. Out of court he IS repre-
sented as having sustained those alleged state
ments by q reference to several letters of Miss
Proctor's in his possession-fOr it was the un-
fortunate habit of Mr.. Beecher to commit to
tho custody Of this amazing person great
variety of letters and documents which there
seems to have been no reason for preserving
at all. In consequence Of the reported lnsln-
uations of Mr.. MoultOn, Miss Proctor insisted
that all these letters should be produced at
the trial. and we publish them this morning.
1t was not necessary for the lady's fame to
do this, but perhaps it is as well that 1t has
been done. She at any rate comes out OF this
miserable affair unsullied. The most Drurient
imagination cannot discover hint OF wrong
in the letters, word which can be twisted to
an evil meaning. Nay, they furnish the
strongest possible negative evidence that the
libelous story could not be true. They are
letters such as no woman could have written
to q man with whom her relations had been
too intimate. SO this particular side-lssue III
the great scandal is closed we hope forever.

much the unfortunate depositors will lose no
body can tell. The books are in fearful
state of confusion. but thus far the Liabilities
are known to be over 100000 in excess of the
assets. Many of the securities, loans, &C., in
cluded among the assets are Of very doubtful
value, and the Commissioners find it impossi-
BILE to realize on them at present.
1t needs no great penetration to discover IN
this raid upon the freedmen's savings the
same set of sharp operators who have made
the District of Columbia notorious by fraudu-
lent paving rings, measuring rings, sewer
rings, sandstone rings, and real estate pools
The well known names confront us on every
page of the lcdgers. And if the full history of
their operations is ever brought to light, we
believe the country will be amazed by the
disclosures of basencss in high places, and
dishonesty running through nearly every
branch of tho Government, and shocked to
discover how many public men there are mean
enough to rob 4 negro.

Mrs. Joaquin Miller has written a drama founded

Climax of Act /: "My marriage with joaquin; :"
Do. of Act2: " His departure and Myself standing
on that lonely rock watching the receding ship"
So does Mrs. Miller shadow forth the impending
drama for the information of a san Francisco re-
porter. We confess that are in no hurry to be
made better acquainted with this production. 1t Is
IA great mistake to suppose that the introduction of
living characters upon the stage as necessarily inter-
esting. Prma tace, and in ordinary hands,
such exhibitions simply q bore; and
do not remember more than two great men in dra-
matte annals who have succeeded in this kind of
writing-Aristophanes and Foote, who has been
called the English Arstophanes. There are several
reasons why these personal" dramas usually fail
In the first place, tho audience may have interest

In the second place. dramatic porraiture should be

women of individual Importance enough to be
put personally into a play not
mon. The great dramatic writers deal
with species. We do not wish to speak
too positively, but we believe that with all the
criticism to which the plays Of Shakespeare have
been subjected, it has been suggested that he
drew any man or woman of his time Photographic

his habit to do So he would long ago have been for

remember to have seen it stated that either Con-
grevc. Wycherly, or Vanbmgh ever portrayed living
individuals in their comedies. "The Rehearsal"
which was libel upon Dryden, is utterly obsolete
as an acting play. Notwithstanding its almost
incredible wit. 1t IS understood that Sberi-
dan drew Cumberland in the character
of Sir Fretful Plagiary, but we doubt whether no
intended to reproduce anything moro than

under cover of the franking privilege.
1t is not astonishing that the Right and Left
Centers of the French Assembly should be
unable to form union. However, their fail
ure to agree seems to seal the late OF tne
Constitutional Bills The Extreme Repub-
licans have no present interest in supporting
those measures, and the members of the Ex-
treme Right are inclined to do nothing to
consolidate the powers of the President. If
he wants to accomplish anything, the best
thing for him to do is to follow the example
of NJ. Thiers and become Republican.
FREQUENT complaints have been recently re-
ceived at this Office about the short supply OF
TRIBUNES on the trains OF the Harlem anu
New-Jersey Central Railroads, as well as at
the usual stands in Boston and at one or TWO
other points. In each case, representations
have been made to the proper authori'ies'
and an increased supply of the paper has Deeh
promised. We shall always esteem 1t 1aVor
if our friends will inform us wherever dealers
are unable on account of short stock 10 sup
ply them with TIE TRIBUNE. The universal
renort. not only of our readers but OF the
now s-dealers. is that no matter how large
their supply, THE TRIBUNE Is almost always
the first paper exhausted at the stands.
The lesson of Miss Louisa Lee Schuyler's
admirable report of her observations on the
European system of dealing with pauperlsm,
as presented to the State Charity Aid Asso-
citation, of which she is the President, Is that
to raise paupers to condition of sclf-sup-
port they must be dealt with as individuals
and by individuals. There can be no
question that our poor-houSe system
needs reorganization, that able-bodled
paupers should nowhere be sustained
in idleness at the public expense. and that
pauper children should not he kept IN aims
houses, or held together as a separate class in
pauper schools. In word, pauperism should
be dealt with as temporary, and not por-
manent, condition in life, and paupers should
not be supported so much as encouraged to
support themselves
| The Supplementary Civil Rights bill emerses
from the House judiciary Committee III still
another form. The principal notifications IN
this substitute for the bill passed by the
| Senate last Winter are the omission OF ceme-
teries, and the insertion of provision for
separate schools for the races In those States
in which each is afforded the same educational
facilities These changes will remove the
objections entertained by many sincere friends
of the negro, who have feared that mixed
schools might increase rather than dissipate
the prejudice Of race against race, and be
fatal to the public school systems of the
Southern States But with the opposition of
those who doubt the expediency of any legis-
lation on the subject. combined with that of
many who think the proposed substitute does
not 60 far enough, and the indifference of
others, there is little probability that even this

The analogy between Rum and Religion has been
discussed, but has never been practically deter
mined; and now, in England, comes up the recon-
dite relation of TitheS and Beer. The Mdncte>tT
Examiner informs us that it is the recognized custom
in North Wales for the rector's agent to give re
farmers and other titbc-paycrS, when they settle
their dues, tickets for beer which are convertible
into malt liquor at any inn in tle neghborhood.
The treat it appears is governed by the amount OF
the tithe paid. In certain parish a crown gets .
half-pint ticket; ten shiipgS pint; but then go
or even cl5 entite the payer to more than three
quarts at the rectors expense. The holder however,
isn't obliged to drink his whole allowance at once
for the publican will open an account with HIM. ana
permit him to swg out the rcctors beer by Install
ments 1t is an understood thing We suppose that
the beer shall be stout and good. for the honor OF
