The hypocrisy uf tllc Dclnocrntio party In

THE WEIGHT OF THE CusroM-HoUBg.

AtAA " t14AN4A4 S1 44AN] NVo4NNAN1lONQ&s
Tho young gentleman WHO hollis tho hp-
roint,ncnt Of Supervising Architcct os Gov
ernment buildings. and parts his hair nicely
III the middle, locks down on tho report Of
the Chicngo architects who examined the
foundations Of tic Chicago Custo,n.llouso
with lofty dist'nin. Ills latest criticism Of
tllat irrefntable report contains Just two
points. Ono of these sclool-boy would not
liayo made, and tho other seems to indicate
tllat Mr.. poTTEa is afflicted with a defective
memory.
i. Mr.. PorrEn snys TINT m on1t plank
feet inches long and . feet wide 'would
cover feet, and not ~ feet" Wo arc not
familiar with tho aritlmctcal process by
Which Mr.. ForTER arrives at this remarkable
conclusion. The oak plan1s WIS 6 inches
thick, but we TO not sec what its thick
ness has to do with tho matter. If
it were o feet thick, 1t woull still
cover only the sanle a'nonnt Of superficial
nrea. which is tho point ut issue. Tho ouIy
figure this cuta in the case is, that the locnl
Commission ,natls their experiments with Nh
excavation II feet large, wl1ie tho other
Commission took tho a1,aco Of single square
foot, or m nugcr-holo an inch aud hnlf in
diameter. II Mr.. Po1rEn insists TINT, nc
corsling to the hgures 2 feet | inches BY
feet, the excavation was Rquaro feet u ii
only shows tint the test OF the local archi-
tects wns just TINT much fairer. If thero is
any point in it, it is favorable to the local
Commission, hut it is Chiefly remarkable for
tho display Of rulmcntnry ignorance On the
part of Alr. POTTER.
2. Young Afr. PorrEn's second criticism is
TINT the local architects have uildercstimntcd
tho nctsal pressure Of tho building one-hnlf.
This Is curious assertion in yiow Of tho
fact that tic locnl architects look tho figurea
OIL file in the Treasury Department ut Wash
ington, tho galno used by the Government
Commission. Tllese wero furnished by Mr..
PorrEn himself, accompanied by the follow

Moral CowardIce.

Tie New Orleans "Times" cones
at Ames with a most cutting article.
Among the Radical office-hold>
ers, as much odium originates IN
their utter lack of dignity as from
any other source. ia the sudden
and frantic appeal of Ames, of
Mississippi, for Federal interven'
ton, do we detect a woful absence
of even the semblance of manhood.
High moral courage and personal
daring have not unfrequently re-
deemed the worst cause. Bitter
opposition does not invariably en-
tail lack of resi- ect. The official
alluded to if report be true, has APP
proximate that OF thousands, he has
beeu placed in positions which de-
msnd the utmost coolDess. The white
element engaged in the controversy
have also been soldiers. They
would instantly have recognized
end respected the absence OF cow
ardice even upon the part OF an
enemy, and to hint tkat the presence
of the Governor, even in the midst
of the conflict, if be appeared as a
conservator Of the peace, involved
personal danger. would be an insult
TO their courage. His immediate
departure for the scene of the diff
Guilty, aud a few terse words Of
warning would have accomplished
more to calm the troubled waters,
than all the proclamations ever pen
ned. The indications are that in
this case, conscience was greater
provocative of cowardice than cause.
Something hidden, grim secrets
confined within his own breast un-
nerved the man aud instigated his
cry for help.
"True greatness rarely shrinks
in seasons Of peril. 1t is in the
midst of the tempest, when the sail
or is the calmest, and amid the
storm of battle the true soldier is IN
possession OF all his faculties.
However unprovoked may have
been the recent difficulty or needless
the riot, its existence has demon
strated a lack OF moral power in the
Governor of Mississippi, from which
he will probably not soon recover"
