People are apt to think of the Scottish cuisine as
a thing gritty with oatmeal and pale with eternal
dough- But It's not so. A fastidious French trav-
eler-it may have been NJ. Taine-whO went despair
ingly over Britain without getting q really good
dinner, found at last in Edinburgh dish he liked,
Haggis, and partook of it with pathetic joy, cry
ing AT last an artistw As for the cookery of En-
gland one of her own people says it is the worst,
most wasteful and unwholesome to be found in any
civilized country and that the average Englishman
and the savage are the only human beings to whom
cooking means simply warming meat at fire. Well,
whatever Britain's cookery may be. it IS certainly
from her Puritan daughters that America got her
dishes most individual, spicy, and. if not exactly
delicate, at least tasteful. Mistress Gail Hamilton
doth shrewdly boast of New-England baked BEANS
and truly she hath reason. England and divers
regions in the Middle States have ways of dressing
vegetables and treating fowls calculated to humili
ate a Soyer. In these parts Of our country alone
may be seen the cooking at which we may point
with pride" as being Enthusiastically Anglo
Saxon and American. In Baltimore and Richmond
and New-Orleans the ancient French element
entered the kitchens century ago, and their sable
cooks who are truly accomplished. put their whole
minds right into the evolution of strange decaces

low Pearl about IL o'clock last night, the passen-
gers in a Third-ave. ear saw drunken man lying
on the sidewalk, and brute standing over him
kicking him in the head, with a half dozen other
brutes looking on. The poor fellow who was down
picked himself up after while, but hardly had
gained his feet when another brute, who was
an employee, possibly proprietor Of the
saloon, rushed out and struck him IN the
face knocking him at full length on the pavement
his head striking with dull thud on the stones A
woman in an adjoining saloon picked him up and
cared for him. The policeman of that beat was
eating a mellow pear in front Of THE TRIBUNE
office at the time, and when informed of the oc-
currence continued to eat his pear and look at the
City Hall clock. He Is probably employed to eat
pears and keep his eye on the clock.
We read of rigid colored moralist said to be
preacher in South Carolina. He always sold his
vote for $40. and he would take no more. He
summed up the matter by saying: "Dis ting of git

it's WORT" We fear, however, that there Is mis-

value so low that nobody would care TO sell it, or
rise so high that nobody would care to buy it, we
might DO little nearer purity of elections than

There is something positively refreshing in
the animated language in which Judge Dono-
hue expressed his righteous indignation at the
action of Justice Smith in signing warrant
the purport of which he did not know. The
warrant in question happened to be one for
the committal of friendless woman to prison.
Justice Smith signed it because his clerk and
q police captain were satisfied that it was all
right. Judge Donohue deserves the thanks OF
the community for his handling of this in
competent and bungling magistrate, and
District Attorney Phelps should see that the
lesson read by his Honor on this occasion

An attempt to form fair opinion as to the
Coushatta Parish murders In Louisiana by
persual of the statements of Gov. Kellogg and
The Ne,c- Orleans Picayune must result in
failure. 1t such statement as that of Kel
logg came from almost any Governor in the
Union except himself or Gov. Moses of South
Carolina it would be regarded as final. But
unhappily the de fdcto Governor of Louisiana
is better known as a tricky politician, always
working for party success and his own
personal advancement, than as chief magis-
trate alive to the interests OF his people and
Jealous of the good name of his State. His
record is such, that if his story, marred as it
is by evident partisan coloring, is not accepted
without question he has only himself to
blame. The fact remains, however, that what
ever the provocation, Coushatta Parish has
been the scene of an outrage 80 villainOus
that the mention OF it should bring a blush
to the cheek of every honest citizen of
Louisiana, and that whatever SAVIOR of politi-
cal stock -jObbing there may be about the
accompanying statement, all aw-abiding
people must admit that Gov Kellogg has
done the right thug in offering heavy

If Mayor Havemeyer had not committed so
many absurd acts in Office and shown such
extraordinary disregard of public opinion of
his official course, we should consider as in
credible the well-confirmed report that he
proposes to remove Commissioners Disbecker
and Duryee upon charges based upon the
allegations of two discharged employees of the
Street-cleaning Bureau. AS to the truth of
their allegations we have no present means of
Judging, since the particulars are not known.
But the Mayors position before the public is
not strong enough to justify him in proceed
ing without the clearest proof. 1t is well
known that the Mayors animosity to the two
Police Commissioners grows out of their
refusal to aid him in the folly of foisting
Charlick and Gardner upon the people after
their conviction of misdemeanor. They were
right in refusing to vote for the reinstatement
of these two gentlemen in the Board, and
they won good opinions by their unexpected
frmness in that crisis. ANY attempt of the
Mayor at this date to remove either of them
by such means as those suggested will simply
strengthen the Commissioners and weaken the
Mayor.

II it was necessary for the Attorney-Gene-
raj to do anything in the matter of the recent
lawlessness IN the South, he could properly do
neither more nor less than issue such a circu-
lar as is about to be sent to the United States
Marshals and Attorneys in the South. 1t does
not appear that any of the laws by HIM cited
have been violated of late without proper
efforts on the part of the State officials to
bring the offenders to justice-witness the
prompt action of Cows. Leslie, Brown. and
Kellogg. But there can be little objection to
calling the attention of the officers of Federal
courts to their duty in case their services are
required, particularly as many of them, accord
ing to a previous circular of the Attorney
General, are now absent from their districts.
The only danger involved lies in the fact that
so many of the Marshals and Attorneys in the
South are notorious partisans, and are too
ready to stretch their authority to the utmost
and call upon the military for a helping hand.
especially when an election happens to be
pending.

The report of the Solicitor of the Treasury
upon the District Safe Burglary shows that
the suspicion of diabolical plot on the part
of certain members of the District of Column
bia King to blacken the good name of an
enemy of the King has been fully sustained
by evidence elected in a careful investigation.
Secretary Bristow's action in view of this
finding is just what it ought =. to
have been. "a, He dismisses 90 all = of
the employees of his department who are
clearly shown to have lent themselves to the
conspirators, and satisfied, as many others
have been for long time, of the entire cor
ruption of the Secret Service Bureau wipes it
out of existence so far as its present organi-
cation is concerned. 1t now remains for the
Grand Jury of the District of Columbia to at
tend to the case of Assistant District-AttOrney
Harrington; and they cannot be too quick
about it.

We have no doubt the Coroners jury rem
dered fair verdict in declaring that the
Vandueser child died of diarrhea "aggra-
waited by improper treatment in its earlier
"stages, and by his subsequent improper
"removal from the hospital" Whether
they would have been justified also
in acquitting the prisoner Barnard of all blame
is perhaps another question. At any rate they
neglected, by an oversight, to record any such
verdict, and Barnard Is held to await the
action of the District Attorney. We suppose
there can be no trouble in obtaining his release
on bail, and no further proceedings are likely
to be taken against him. The blame should
fall not upon an ignorant man, who doubtless
did as well as he knew how, but on those
who placed him in position for which he
was unfit.

is net lost upon Justice Smith and the magis-
tracy in general.

The letter from OwentOn, KY, printed in
THE TRIBUNE to-day, gives clear insight into
some phases of life in those sections OF the
South in which the people have not yet
learned to look to the law for redress of
wrongs. Notwithstanding its details Of COM
monplace crime and an entire absence OF
romantic incident, the story told by our cor
respondent is full of interest as showing what
havoc can be done by whisky and temper,
the latter being slightly modified by coun-
terfeit family pride and bastard chivalry.
The most remarkable thing about it, however,
is the participation of United States officials
in the family brawls of the Shoots and the
Walkers, not to speak of the extraordinary
imaginative powers which can convert such
lawlessness into a War of Races.

REPoRT OF SECRETARY OF TREAsURY.-The re-
port of Mr.. Secretary Bristow fills an import
ant place in the financial aspects of the times.
1t bears about it the marks of being prepared
under the direction of mind sound upon po-
litical economy, the proper remedies for the
cure of the financial ills upon us and the faith
full and economical administration Of the alfaif5
of that important branch of the National Gov
eminent. The receipts into tho Treasury from
all sources during the fiscal year ending June
30th 1874, amounted to $685., 47S,7 56.O6. The
ordinary expenses for the same time were $751;
133,S73.76, leaving an excess of receipts over
expenditures of only $2,344,8S2.3O. The esti
mates for the year ending June 3Oth, 1875, will
furnish a surplus of 81, OO2, 1861, which under
the law is to be applied to the sinking fund
But the law requires that $31, O96,545 shall be
applied in this way. An increase of taxation
or read listed tariff is recommended to meet
this demand.
His recommendations for the resumption of
a specie basis are similar to those of President
Grant in his message. He suggests in strong
way, but makes no recommendation, that the
easiest road out oil our difficulties IN deficiency
in revenue is the restoration of duty on coffee
and tea. The revenues from this source were
annually more than adequate to the defcien-
cies of the revenues that embarrass us. And
the folly about the matter is that the moment
the tariff was stricken off of these articles the
producer put the price up. The result is that
every consumer pays more for these articles
now than he did before. Then too the money
that before went to the GOVERN ent for revenue
now goes into the pocket Of the foreign produ-
GERS. The government is deprived of the reve
nue. and nobody in America receives any ben
eft. This is folly that has been pursued long
enough. Congress should now return to tariff
on these articles and give us the benefit of the
revenue

NasrThe proceedings of Congress up to this
writing are encouraging in some respects and
discouraging in others. The appropriation bills
for the various Departments of the Govern
ment have been referred to committees and are
far on their way to completion for report to the
House. But just on the heal of the Presidents
sound recommendations concerning our fnan-
cial difficulties the House of Representatives
has developed marked disposition to run in
its old groove of imitation. The bill originated
by Judge Kelly at the last session, known as
the convertible bond bill, was taken from the
table and a considerable discussion ensued af-
ter which it was ordered to be printed, as Mem
bers could not get copies enough to inform
themselves of what it contained. The bill lin
its the currency of the United States to four
hundred millions and authorizes the issuing of
bonds by the United States Treasury to bear
65 per cent interest. said bonds to be issued
in exchange for United States notes, said notes
to be applied to three fourths of their amount
to the purchase of outstanding gold bearing
bonds of the United States.

A HARD Casa Sunbury, Pa, paper says
An employee of the Pennsylvania iron company
having been idle for some time and bis family
suffering for the necessares of life, made applca-
ton at the office for an order on the steam mill
owned by the company for a bag of -four. 1t
being refused, the man proceeded to the mill and
deliberately shouldered a sack of -four and at
tempted to walk off with it. The miller inter-
posed, and inquired what be meant by such con-
duct as that. He informed the miller that the
company was still owing him, and that he had
applied Tor an order for -four, that be might pro-
cure it in the regular way, but was refused
That this family was suffering for the necessaries
of life, and that he meant to have the -four, COOL
ly drawing a pistol warned the miller not to in
terfere with him The miller seeing that it was
a desperate case concluded it was best not TO in-
terfere further and the man was allowed to depart
in peace.
