the recorders OF the other papers take Occa-
sion to pull his nose be merely gives the in :
suited organ good strong blow to assure
himself that nothing is broken, and then re-.
yeDges himself by beating the other
fellow getting up the news. A man
knocked his beaver bat down over his
face at the election the other day. BY dex-
terous movement of his right hand he
punched two holes in it just opposite his
ewes, and proceeded with his work without
even asking who it was that had "done the
deed" Every editor who is troubled With
spupky reporters will understand how pre-
clous a man Jones is. When man comes
in to lick another reporter for publishing
him it suspends business frequently tor near.
" two hours. Jones, on the other hand, VIII
take his licking in twenty minutes and be
back at work, disheveled but firm. These
explanations we feel to be due to the public.
As long as Jones confines TO SHINE
around in this exceedingly lively manner
we shalt keep him. We should, OF course,
like TO have him correct in diction. But II
this will tend to relax bis legs, we shall pre-
fer him as he is. Ii Bret Harte, who is the
best writer of pure Dnglish on either side OF
the ocean, was out Of job, We might dis
charge Jones and give Bret trial. But II
he gave evidence of lacking the "git up and
git" that makes Jones great, we should re-
commend him to some literary magazine ana
renew our engagement with Jones's legs.
Jones has applied to US to buy him
writing machine. He thinks that it would
expedite WORK for him to strap 1t on his
back like hapd.organ and unstripg it on
each corner, as an Item might pop up ana
grpd out the EeWs. We intend TO buy Inn
one. And if so1ae genius will perfect an
photography and prosody attachment to the
machine we shall wind it about JoDes's fri.ky
form and sald him 10 the Centennial EXhI-
bition as Il perfect specimen Of the American
reporter.

charged with assisting in perpetratiog certain
frauds in the letting of mail contracts. 1t was
shown that Van Week introduced VIM. ID.
Kittle to clerk named Colt, who assisted him
in his negotiations with the Department, aud
that he was present when Kittle paid Colt a
considerable sum of money for bis service, but
there was no evidence showing any personal

The terms Of the award embraced in formal
report of committee appointed to consider
the matter were presented to the Louisiana
Legislature yesterday, and, in niuety-seven
votes cast, was adopted by majority of sixty
seven. Most of the displaced members made
speeches, quietly acquiesciug. One of the ne
gro ex. members was especially satisfied, as his
"old master" was to take his place, aud he
knew him to be Just and kind man. A reso-
luton recognizing Governor Kellogg as the
Chief Executive of the State, aud pledging the
Legislature to cooperate With him in measures
of reform, was adopted.

VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY, APRIL Ii.

Iu commenting upon the attempts made III
the last Legislature, and subs' quent attempts
to injure the credit Of the State, by the adv
cacy of reputation measures, the Richmond
Dispatch says: IF Vlrgiuians are ready to
destroy their public credit, all should Know It,
Especially should the great multitude OF good
people who propose to come to Virginia kno"
that there is to be prostration OF credit, and
business and enterprise in the State that the
lauds are to be unstable, and the minerals 10
developed; the State i, not TO have peace IN
poverty and dishonor; but that dishonor is but
the beginning of agitation, and Trouble aud
shame, and modification that will run on
through years. 1t would be great public out
rage to invite the stranger within our boun-
diaries to share miserable lot instead OF mud
ing that happiness and prosperity which we
ourselves had induced him to hope for. Vir-
pinsns should be frank, and let the world
know what they are going to do. The agita-
tors will force them to speak.

In monetary affairs there is still very little IF
interest to note. Money is "stringent' on re

very easy call loans being made at per cent,
and the .ersld says that In consequences of the
large dividends By various corporations and in
stitulions, not obly the banks will quickly show
the benefit, but good investment securities are
likely to be taken in hand and advanced. Be-.
tween this time and the 9th of April it is esti-
mated that about So, 2OU0oO will be- thus DIS

From the late report Of the Comptroller Of

is 1881, IA 32. In September, 1873 it was
