Mr.. SPEAKER BLAINE, in his New
Haven speech, included Colorado IN
the Presidential electoral vote of 1876
This is a mistake. By the enabling
act passed at the last session, Colorado
cannot be admitted till the second
session Of the FOrty-fourth Congress.
which is of course after the election.
The electoral vote therefore stands at
800, Of which 1S4 is a majority.

D THOSE who should know say that
the frauds which have Just been dis
covered az the Postofice Department
are not neE; that they have ben praC'
ticed under all Administrations since
the Government WIS formed, and that
they had been discovered before, but
that such publicity had never before
been given to,the discovery. Pc
Every new development Of corrup-
ton at Washington elicits from some
administration organ a bald assertion,
ike the above from tho specialist Of
the Chicago Tribune, that "the abuse
isone Of old standing" that 1T exi.ted
before the war," etc. But the above
must stagger the credulity Of the most
confirmed third-termer. To say that
such postal frauds as those recently I'M
earthed, existed @under ell Admins
trations since the Government was
formed" is to defend Grant by trying
to bring down Washington, jefferson
and Madison to his ignoble level. This
peculiar style Of argument viii not ez-
ert much influence on the average
American mind.

THE investigation now going on in
the British Parliament on foreign
loans will probably result inhighly I'M
portant revelations, likely toprove ben
efcial to many unfortunate investors.
1t is expected that in consequence Of
these disclosures the agents response,
bic for introducing certain Of the loans
to the British marset w1l be compelled
to surrender a very considerable pro-
portion of their clients ill-gOtten gains.
According to the latest report current
on Change, claims have been prefer
red TO the extent Of nearly 83,00O,OO0
by a number Of disappointed sub
scribers, and the bulk Of the loss will
fBIupong one or two Of the principal
financial houses Of the city Of London.
Messrs. Clews, Habacht, Hugh McCul-
loch, and even Minister ScheDck, may
b , called upon to answer for such
frauds az the Northern Pacific railroad
and the famous Emma mine.

The FISH Law. This law, one of the best
on the statute books of Virginia, prohibits the
catching of fish with seines in the waters Of tho
State tor the space of two months, from the
10Th OF June to the 18th of August, and the
hne for violation is $500 and couGscation of
boat and hshlog tackle; but to secure conviction
some one must become an iuformer, and this is
enough to prevent almost any honest man from
Interfering. Of course it is not to be supposed
that the various Commonwealth attorneys are
to become spies and detectives; consequently the
law is Of no effect
The Potomac river is protected by no such
law, and constant seiDe-hauling has destroyed
