HOW Many OF THE sEVEEl

The New York Nation claims to be q
newspaper and presumably to give correctly
the news Of the day to its readers, with such
comments as may seem fit to its editors.
To show how baseless the claim of the
Nation is to being newspaper. and to what
depths of degradation men can descend who
are partisan without being honest, we quote
the following from the Nation: -.
"The prosecuting counsel, Mr. Henderson,
said distinctly In his address to the jury thai
they left no doubt of Babcock's completely.
Under these circumstances, the obvious course
for General babcock, If innocent, was to hurry
on to st. Louis, present himself as witness
for Avery, and explain the kilograms. Instead
of this, however, he contentad himself with
telegraphing that he was entirely innocent,
and then turned round and demanded mill
tary court of inquiry, which has been granted
him, on the ground that he is a colonel Of en-
gineers." .r.asr Ut.
The editor of the Nation had, unless he
is more ignorant or careless than we sup
pose him to be, read before he published
the above paragraph the telegram OF Gen
eral Bsbcock to Colonel Dyer, United
States attorney at st. Louis, and Colonel
Dyer's answer. General Babcock said in
his telegram That he was innocent, desired
the opportunity to Uir:dicats himself before
the court, and asked when he could testify.
Colonel Dyer stated in his answer that no
such opportunity could be given, as the
testimony in the Avery case was closed and
no other of the conspiracy cases would be
tried before the 18th of December. 1t was
only then that General Babcock asked the
court of inquiry. The Nation being q lite
nary paper its editor has doubtless read
Touchstone,s description of the various
kinds of Lies. including 1.-THE Lie circunstan-
tial and the lie direct I" and we think he
must admit that he has dexterously used at
least these two kinds in the above para
graph. For ourselves we must, thinking
of the Nation, say with the Fat Knight
'Lord, Lord, how this world is given to
living"

Mr.. POSTMASTER STEUART,o of the House,
is to be disciplined. He has disgraced the
State of Virginia. Henceforth that Com
monwealth will no longer be known as the
mother of Presidents, but as the mother of
Post Office subordinstes. The Democratic
caucus to-day will take this matter in hand,
and as Mr.. Steuart if he is aware that the
Old Dominion is simply an integral portion
of the United States, and that the Democ-
racy has few friends outside Of the anti.
nuated city of Alexandra.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-12-13

THR Democratic caucus to be held to-day
will decide upon the course to be pursued
by that party in the House. 1t is expected
that a resolution will DO adopted by the
caucrs and subsequently presented to the
House pledging the party to do everything
that is loyal and nothing that is disloyal,
including under the latter head pledges not
to pension rebel soldiers or pay the rebel
debt. In this way the ex-Confederate
House of Representatives intends to make
political capital for the Centennial cam
paign. Meanwhile, the people begin to
ask what is the use of such pledges, when
as rapidly as possible through appoint
ments to lucrative positions.

THE Democratic support of the civil ser
vice system. as laid down by the journals
Of that party when they abuse the Admin.
istration, is simply amazing. For exam
pie, there are clerks in the House who have
grown gray in its service, but they are dis
placed almost without moments warning
to give place to inexperienced men. This
may not be considered consistent, but 1t is
truly Democratic. "To the victors belong
the spoils." But how about the Executive
Departments, over which the Republicans
still have control?

GREAT EFFORTS are being made by the
Opposition just now to make bad blood be-
tween the Secretary of the Treasury and
the President. Among other things, it is
asserted that the former is ignored in the
management of the whisky trials. The
facts are that the Secretary pursued the
revenue thieves according to law as far as
he could in his Department. When he had
brought them into the court, he turned
them and their prosecution over to the De-
partment of Justice, according to law. All
has been done with the utmost accord be.
tween the President and the Departments
of Treasury and Justice.

THE resnectablY Conservative member

The respectfully Conservative members
of the majority of the House were afraid to
allow that body to meet to-day, it being
the day under the rules for the call of
States for bills and resolutions. Their
fears were based upon the assumption that
some of the extremists of their party, like
Ben. Hill, of Georgia, for example, would
make peculiar exhibitions of themselves.

Means to get Rich.

Ten or twelve years ago there was n miner
working in the upper levels of the Comstock
at 81 per day. He lived in little cabin
down the canyon, did his own cooking, and
This:led softly, "There's good time coming
boys" To-day that miner walks about the
streets of Virginia City, as cordial as in the
old days; he dresses no better than any ord
mary gentleman of Virginia, and eats no
better food than conscientious editor ought
TO have. And yet, as his fortune is rated in
the stock list daily, he is so rich that, were
his stocks turned into money, he could lend
Scott that S70,000,000 he wants and have
enough left to live comfortably upon. He
could, unaided, go down and open, at his
own expense, the Darien Canal: or should
his fancy run that way, he could advertise
tomorrow that the Government through him
had determined to resume Immediately
specie payment, and pretty nearly make the
promise good. He could endow college in
| each State of the Union with 81, 900, 900 each,
or could build double track narrow guage
railroad from San Francisco to New York,
and solve at once the problem of cheap trans
pOrtation. There is no telling, indeed, what
he might do; but what he will do is appar-
ent enough, He was here when thirty feet
of ore near the surface was big mine. AT
1900 feet he has found it three or four times
as wide He believes at 1000 he will strike
it 5000 feet wide, and get rich
and be is going for t,-[Virginia Nevada.

1t is always better to pass dozen intend
ed insults without recognition, than to take
offence at n single unintentional neglect or
reelection. Misunderstanding are fruitful of
more unkindly feelings in society than ever
result from deliberate ill-nature. Hundreds
Of friendships have been sundered by Il a
egotistical sensitiyeness which is ever looking
for offence. We can all point to certain per
sous who are thus moFuidiy sensitive 20 &
painful degree They arc disagrceblo com
panions, We need not spend our prcciou
time in pointing to them, however, We have
each something to guard in our own chorac
ter. We are each inclined t1 take offence to,
easily. If we could ramove this eyer-jealou
watchgalness, society would gain neN
charm, or rather, it would be relieved of
very disagreeable feature. Pass neglect, thef
and personal reflections AZ gracefully as pos
sible, instead of taking the risk of being OF
Tended when no offence is intended.
