Advocates Of an underground rapid transit road
in this city may be interested in knowing that there
is a good deal of dissatisfaction with the manage

There are only three more Senators to be-
chosen by the French National Assembly. The
election. az may be judged from the list
printed elsewhere, has resulted in decisive
triumph for the Republicans. If the 20 Sen
ators who are to DO elected in the departments
are of equal merit with the life members, the
efficiency of the new branch Of Republican
government in France is measurably assured.

Judge Donohue's decision against compelling
tle appropriation of $35O,OO0 to build an
armory for the It'll Regiment will be welcomed
by taxpayers. since this might have proved an
entering wedge for much more OF such extrava-
cance. The act OF 1875 providing for new
arnories. the Judge thinks, was only meant to
apply to regiments that had none; and this Is
at least q common sense view OF tue matter.

The question of reading the Bible in the
public schools bids fair to become favorite
topic for pulpit discussion. Among yesterdays
!. sermons which we present this morning, that
of the Rev. Charles r. Baker is quite pro-

promoted by being at all connected with the
common school system. This opinion is nota-
bic, W. the Episcopal Church is SO generally

MOSES VAN CAMP.

EDITORS CoLUMBIAN:-Af.w few weeks since
there appeared in the CoLUNrBGAN, bio
graphical sketch of some of the adventures
of Moses Van Camp; and it has occurred to
me that few additional facts on the subject
might not be uninteresting to your read
crs.
Moses Van Camp-known in the later
portions of his life as Gen Moses Van
Camp-was living, in 1914, in Livingston
County, New York. He was rather above
the medium size, with tendency to cor
pulency. His face was round and full, with
few wrinkles for man of his age, and
cleanly shaven. The top of his head was
slightly bald, and his hair was exceedingly
white.
In the political campaign of that year
he changed his politics My recollection Is
he had previously been a Democrat and
that be then identified himself with the
Wings; but may be mistaken in this. The
change may have been in the opposite di-
rection. Certain it is that he changed from
one party to the other at that time; and that
this fact created no little eXctment in that
section of country. He was brought out to
political meetings, and though not accus
toned to public speaking, was expected to
say something. On one of these occasions
/ heard him make his speecii-not much
longer than those that President Grant il
accustomed to make

II seems proper that the local celebrations
of the Fourth Of July, 1876, which will be
held throughout the land, should be made
to contribute to permanent historical
memorial of the Centennial Celebration. In
each county provision should be made for
the delivery ofan address tracing the history
of that particular community for the century
or from the time Of its settlement, and in
cludng a sketch Of its growth, its resources,
industries, prospects, etc. These addresses
should be published in uniform si2e,-that
of the Congressional documents, for in
stancc.--iR order that they may he bound
together by States, To competent persons
the preparation of such addresses would not
be an unduly burdensome task; hut in the
aggregate they would constitute an invalua-
bic historical repository such as no nation
has ever had the opportunity TO collect,
Designations Of the historians ought to be
made without delay, in order that they NAV
have time to accomplish their work. 1t il
to be hoped that the press will give general
circulation to the project, and that each
Journal will see TO its consummation in its
owa locality, and that the slight expense
involved be assumed by the county or town
