WASHINGTON.
A Family BOND.

WASHINGTON, May THE official bond
Of Col. Parker, Postmaster at New VI
leans, is family affair. Gen. b. r. but
Ter, his brother-in-law, assumes SzGO,OOOi
his nephew by marriage, Gov. AdelDeu
Ames. Mississippi, 100000; and the tather-
iu-law of Col. Parker's daughter, SlOO,OOO,
making the required 100000.
Conditions Of the National Banks.
The Comptroller of the Currency will
cal unon the National banks to make to
him a report of their condition at the close
Of business on the Ist inst. Notices and
necessary blanks viii be mailed to the
banks Monday next.
Pratt Has an Eye TO Business.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
1t is limited by some Of the intimate
friends Of the President that Senator Pratt
accepted the Office Of Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue with the understanding
that the precedent set in Mr.. DelanO's case
will be followed in his (Pralt's) case, and
that he will be promored before a great
while to be Secretary Of the Interior. lt is
considered a letting down for United
States Senator TO accept, at the end Of his
term, position at the head of a bureau,
even ore 50 important as that OF Internal
Revenue. Long AGO Nj. Pratt expressed
his dislike for Washington life, and his de-
sire to live away from its shams and syco-
phantic subserviency. II must, therefore,
have required some strong argument to in
duce him to consent to come back here TO
assume a subordinate official position.
The Boss FOiIed Again.
Boss Shepherd has failed again in his ef-
fort TO get even with the newspapers that
have been instrumental in exposing his
mismanagement Of affairs while he was at
the heard Of the Board Of Public Works.
For wears he has endeavOred particularly
to get Mr.. Dana, Of the Aelg York Sun,
into the District Courts for trial on allega-
ti0ns Of libel. His last attempt came TO
naught to-day when the grand jury, .afier
mature deliberation on the grounds on
which he claimed he had been libeled, dis
missed the charge and refused to bring in
4 libel.
CONSERVATION Among Pennsylvania
PIacemen.
special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The removal Of Esr. Douglas has created
a good deal Of CONSERVATION among the
Pennsylvania Republicans in Office, and
there is an uneasy looking forward 10 the
next step on the part Of the President. 1t
seems that in the Treasury Department
alone four or five Of the prominent bureau
officers are Pennsylvanians. Whether
officials from this State or tie friends Of
the Cameron ring in Office are in peril or
not, is a matter still in dispute; but there
is good authority for the belief that the
President will soon make a number OF
changes among his Office-hOlders. The
D0licV which is to control these meditated
changes has not transpired, but 1t IS said
that IN deciding upon them the President
will ignore the wishes of leaders who have
hitherto been influential, and will act for
himself

THAT,s WHAT'S THE MATTER.

You may think the word that OF very Ill
tie consequence. ,,
II you win read on, however, you will
soon see that that is Of considerable imPor-
tance.
You will see that that that, which IS
used in the second sentence, is used as q
noun.
And we viii say still further that that
that that has been spoken OF last IN the
third sentence, is also a noun.
We gave the fourth sentence ont one
time 10 gentleman to parse, and a friend
afterward remarked, "That that that that
that gentleman parsed, vas parsed ineor-
rectly.'
The first gentleman retOrted "That, that
that that that that gentleman parsed was
rather A clumsy sentence"
Another one said, ''That, that that that
thatthat that, was still more clumsy
sentence"
A lady present ventured the suggestion,
"That, that that that, that that that that
gentleman made use Of was a correct gram
matical sentence
That's GnGugh.

xaEREACTION IN FAVOR OF STATE
RIGHTS.


Murat Halsted's opinions which we
published on Saturday, are generally
conceived in a modern spirit. He has
\ genius for news, and seldom falls into
the vein of antiquated and untimely
notions; but II his fling at Senator
Eaton's Safe flag IN the several sOver-
eign States each acting for itself IN Its
0EH capacity, we think he conmlJUeo
this fault.
Under what may he called theOld re-
r,ime in this country the doctrine Of
State rights was used 70 protect sla-
very. and as thai was an OdIous thing,
the protecting doctrine became odIous
also. The rebellion wes the grand cul-
nination Of that sort Of State rights
and Of slavery together, and thus a new
and blacker OGIum vas added ID both.
Besides. during the war It was neCes-
sarv IN every way II strengthen the
Federal Government By which the war
was carried on; and through all. these
causes the philosophy Of State rights

utter darkness, and the theory Of cen

Nevertbel less, the truth Of State
RIGHTS lies at the foundation of the
American system Of government, and
without it the United States could not

fathers meant to establish, and which
the sons love so we'll Instead OF beng

rFOu of fhe Trial,


tIOn Of the Trial,
NV YorK. Nav7. 1S75.-Ad Adense crowd
of spectators were in the BrOOa' Fh Clty
Court room this morning. The attenda.'Ce
of women was largely in excess Of the pre-
yious days. MI Beecher and wife were in
court before the proceedings opened, which
were delayed by the late arrival OF some OF
the counsel. Mr.. EvaTts said that MT. Beach
and Mr. SheaIman were compelled TO be
absent. and as the case was now reaching a
close, the difference Of an adjournment for
a day or so would not matter very much.
He suggested, therefore, that the court
should adjourn for The day. Judge Nelson
entertained the suggestion, and the court
adjourned over until Monday next.

nrobable duration OF the Beecher trial, says

The Budget ShaPIy Critieised-The
Chancellor Accused Of Making a
Fictitious Statement.
LONDON, May s, l A. Mn the House
of Commons last night, in the discussion Of
the budget, Mr.. Gladstone censured the
method Of stating treasury accounts, where
by, he said, deficiencies were concealed.
He pointed out that the expenditures had
increased during the year OF the COnser-
vatiye government Fl, 100000. lie con
tended that, counting interest on loans,
interest on deficiency, savings bank and
friendly societies accounts, which arc not
mentioned in the Budget, the Irish educa-
tiOnal charge, etc, no surplus existed. MI.
Gladstone also contended that the proposal
for reducing the public debt is totally IN
real and visionary, that the experience OF
thirty years has shown that the debt had
been increased by fresh loans more than
reduced by surpluses. Yet Sir Stafford
NOrthcOte had anticipated that surpluses
during the next thirty years would amount
to fISOOO,OO0. Mr.. Gladstone said party
priding itself on the traditions Of its past,
ought not to delude the country from the
safe road in finance.
Sir Stafford NoTtheote, Ia reply to Mr..
Gladstone, conceded the figures Of the
Budget might be so taken as to show a de-
ficiency, but he said the system he had
adopted was one of many years standing.
He declared the interest on loans had been
fully considered in his estimates, and no
vote on account Of savings banks was nee
essary for the present year. Doubtless
supplementary estimates might more than
absorb the surplus, but if he anticipated
additional charges, he had a full right to
anticipate that the addition will be bal
anced by other items Of revenue. lie
said Mr.. Gladstone had formerly approved
the system Of the reduction of the debt by
fixed appropriations. Robert Lowe said
the budget was unworthy Of the confidence
of the house. Chancellor Northcote had
manipulated his accounts and produced
fictitious surplus. He said the Liberals
had paid f56,OOO,OOO Of the public debt
and left a surplus in the Treasury, which
the present government had squandered.
That there was deficit was a national ca
lamity, and there ought 10 be a surplus Of
revenue.
The House of Commons will adjourn
from the 18th to the 10th inst. for Whit
suntide holidays.
