The threatened expose of high government
officials By the New York Tribune is postponed
until further notice, not exactly on account of
the weather, but because the documents upon
which il was based were unfortunat ely found
TO be for geries. A good many of the other so
called exposures Of the same class would be held
mp while, or suppressed altogether, by fair
dealing newspapers If the character Of the
charges, the responsibility of their authors, aud
their probable motives, were first carefully in
quired into and it is worth while for true Jour
naiists to consider how far this course would
protect public morals and at the same time ele
vste and dignity their own calling. At least,
the Tribune owes ii TO itself, not less than to the
public at large, to expose the forger in this
case. VIII il do this mucL?

The correspondents representing other papers
here telegraph that General Farnsworth tells
them that all the necessary advertising for the
District government the first year of its existence
could have been done for $500. This shows that
General T. doesn't know much about the value
of space in newspapers; and journalists belittle
themselves and degrade their profession in cir
culsting his trash. The ex-HonoI able gentle
man had better confne himself to telling the
public what he knows about the transportation
OF cavalry regiments by railroad. That is a
subject on which he Is able to speak under
stRndingiy

A Virginia member of Congress has intro
duced a resolution looking TO the finishing of a
monument over the remains OF Mary, the
mother of Washington, which repose in the bur
ial ground near Fredericksburg, Virginia. 1t
seems that the cornerstone Of such a monu-
ment was laid many years ago with great cere-
mony, General jackson and other distinguished
men being present, but that since that time
nothing has been done towards building the
shaft 1t would, perhaps, be better TO wait
until we complete the monument to the msm-
DRY Of General Washington before erecting one
70 his mother. As theoretical monument build
ers the American people doubtless excel all
others. The alacrity with which we vote mon-
uments TO the memory of the illustriOus dead is
worthy of all praise, and our failure to ereCs
them of anything but commentator. The
way We build, or rather don't build, monu-
ments, reminds one of Micswbers manner of
paying his debts. He Cancelled his pecuniary
obligations, il will be remembered, BY giving
fresh /. y. Us when pressed by his creditors,
and after doing this felt, as he expressed it,
that he had discharged a duty which he owed
to society" Let us complete the Washington
monument before voting to build any more.

There is probably no city in the United States
where human life is held so CHEAP as in Cum
oerland,-a fact which can hardly fail to
seriously interfere with the future growth and
prosperity Of the place. People looking out

Yesterday, in a passenger railway car, we
heard discussion between two well dressed
intelligent looking individuals, relative to a
disputed point of city improvement, which
ended in one Of the parties using the knock
down argument well, IL has been so for fifty
years; why not let il remain sou That is ex-
actly what's the matter hereabOuts. Old things
AND old ways are considered good, simply be-
cause they are ancient What We want here to
make our city great and prosperous Is new life,
new energy, new enterprise. Too long have
We been COntended to tread IN the Well-beaten
track OF those who have gone before US and in
doing so we have lost sight of many Of the bless
ings which the fresh and vigorous action Of the
present might have brought us.-BdIt. Gdzstts.
''Ihat is exactly what's the matter here
abouts." IL Is very we'll for the Gazette to talk
about ''new energy" and "new enterprise"
but just let some OF the progressive citizens of
Baltimore undertake to make the city "great
and prosperous" IL will find the good enou Oh
ss-it-was people opposing the march of pro-
gress at every step, and vilhfying those who at :
tempt by ''fresh and vigorous action" to lift
the city out Of the mu1. So we have found il
here in Washington and we have no reason to
believe that the old fogies OF Baltimore would
wage less relentless war against improve
ments tran the few obstructionists in our
midst.

EITHER GRANT, HELMBoLD, or A Cha
cUs-The Washington correspondent o.
the Chicago Times, Of the 18th in
slant, says The Presidents new team
composed of four handsome bays, with
gold-trimmed harness, made its second APP
pearance on the avenue this afternoon.
Very wide and very white reins controlled
them, and the team SURPRISES anything OF
the kind ever seen here. About the only
thing that ever came up to il in style was
Buchu Hembold's turnout with gold-trim-
med harness also, which was here four OF
five years ago. The horses OF the Prcsi-
dents fourth hand are all superior, and il
is said the team can get over the turf at a
threc-minute gait. Two of the horses, the
leaders, have done better than this on the
private half.mile track south Of the Exec
utive Mansion, on the White House lot
on more than one occasion, and once, at
least, President Grant himself held the
ribbons.
The Washington Ctpitai says Speak
ing of the family, all the friends, support
ers, and dependents were startled and graf
fed by the appearance of the President
carriage upon the avenue last week drawn
by four spanking bays, adorned by silver
mounted harness aud white reins Of the
most gorgeous description. The new mem
bers Of Congress, who are very green
thought circus had arrived, while old
residenters, remembering the carnival,
jumped 70 the wild conclusion that Buchu
Helinbold had reappcared in ell his glory,
rejuyenaied by his own ccnlpeund We
however, Who have seen diplomatic service
abroad and heard lions roar recognized
the imperial turnout ut once.
