DANA, REID AND LIBELs.

Poor old Mr.. Dana cannot endure to
cease being martyr or to the sharing of
the honor with another, especially when
that otheris his hated rival, the man who
occupies the chair to which Dana for years
aspired. He is very unhappy. He refuses
to be comforted. He who occupied the
next chair to Greeley fer years was arrested,
and only saved from transfer to Washing.
ton for trial by Intervention of friendly
Judge. No Senate committee moved on his
behalf. Whitelsw Reid, successor to Gree
ley after an apprenticeship of only few
months in the chair in which Dana labored
for score of years, was arrested here in
the District of Columbia, and held to
answer, when Immediately the Senate Com
mittee on the Judiciary made report
stating that libel is not an ofense against
United States statutes, and that If it were
the party charged with it would only be
amenable to our courts when the crims

INoNE of the Democratic National con-
ventions held just before the war-at Bal
timore, if we remember correctly-the
Commonwealth of Virginia was represented
by very earnest and dignifed delegation,
the chairman of which was tall, power
fully built gentleman of the old school, who
was possessed of a deep bass voice and, of
course, of a due regard for the solemnities
of that important occasion. The delIbera-
tions of the convention were protracted
and exciting. Very frequently, when the
State of Virginia was called upon to vote,
the chairman to whom we have referred rose
to his feet and, after obtaining recognition,
detained "Mr. President, the State Of
"Virginia desires to retire for consultation.
81 am instructed by the delegation Of
(Which have the honor to be chairman
ITO beg permission of this convention that
"the State be allowed to retire for that
"purpose. The pompous and self-sufi-
cient air with which this request was made
and granted attracted no little attention ;
but as it was made even on the most trivial
provocauon it finally became tiresome.
The chairman, however, was utterly igno-
rant of the ridiculous aspect of his
proceedings until, when filing out
of the auditorium, followed by long line
of delegates and slternates, his attention
was called to a diminutive, shrimp like
specimen of humanity, who stood on his
feet, however, and beat the air with his
shriveled arms, while in the piping tones of
second childhood he acclaimed: "Mr Pres
"ident, the State of Rhode Island desires
"to retire for consultation. lam instructed
"by the delegation of which have the
"honor to be chairman, to request permits
emission of this convention that the State
"be allowed to retire for that purpose. I"
The permission being granted, the Rhode
Island shrimp walked out of the hall alone,
as he was the only delegate present, and
was not attended even by single alternate
The comparison between Virginia and
Rhode Island was simply ludicrous; but
not more so than is now presented by the
attitude of the Governor of the latter State,
assumed in Vindication of State sovereignty.
When Virginia, after the convention re-
ferred to, finally took a stand for State
rights, it was in behalfof something more
important than few barrels of whisky; but

THE New York World accuses the Re-
publican party of having been guilty "of
L" ten years of narrow minded persecution
(which have brought the South to ruin. I"
Undoubtedly the World believes that to
attempt to enfranchise millions of human
beings, to forgive treason, to rehabilitate
States, and to protect the high and low in
the free exercise of constitutional rights, is
narrow minded but if the party had not
attempted all this and had not attempted to
repress Democratic violence and White
League crime the World would have cred
lied it with having pursued broad-mindcd

GOOD TIMES COMING In THE DISTRICT.

Many of the shrewdest operators and
commercial prophets of the country pre-
dict that with the opening offspring weather
business will revive, and what is generally
known as good times will return. Ex-
actly upon what basis this prophesy rests,
except feeling of general confidence that
Congress will be unable for several years
to unsettle our financial condition, is IN.
known; but it is made with an assurance
that betrays conviction. OF course there
are many who doubt the reliability of the
prediction, and others who are Indifferent
regarding it; but it is, nevertheless, true
that number of leading firms in different
branches of business in New York and
elsewhere are making preparations for
revival of trade. Even the stock market
shows the influence of this hopeful feeling,
and prices are stronger, while in the pro-
ducts of the soil the preparations for opera
tons, both in this country particularly in

IF THE Democratic party gets into power,
or if the Republican party while in power
neglects its duty to provide for a rigid ad-
hesion to the provisions Of the reconstruc-
ton acts, every State in the South will ex-
punge from its constitution the recognition
of the supremacy of the General Govern
ment required by those acts and sanctioned
by their present constitutions. State rights
" ill be reasserted in all their organic acts.

THE COMMITTEE on expenditures of the De-
partment of Justice made report just before
the adjournment, in which they state that
having examined all witnesses suggested TO
them, they find nothing which in any way re-
fleets upon the personal or official character of
United Statesi Marshal Douglas, Of North Car
DINA. They refer to the fact that while the
expenditures have been large the revenues
have been greatly increased. Official letters
from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
presented to the committee, show that the rev.
enues from tobacco alone in the two districts
under Col. Douglas charge are nearly two
hundred thousand dollars a year greater than
when he became marshal; while during the
same period the tax-paying grain distillers
have increased nearly three hundred per cent.
While the revenue officers are very efficient
in that State, this gratifying result is admitted
to be largely due to the vigorous enforcement
of tn law by the marshal and his deputies.
In ad dition to this, a large gang of counter
feiters has been broken up, many of the mem
bers being brought from distant States; while
important suits have been prosecuted in behalf
of the Cherokee Indians in that State, by the
successful termination of which. the Gov
eminent has been relieved from the pay
ment of about two hundred thousand dollars.
The evidence before the committee plainly
indicates that Col. Douglas was selected as an
object of political attack, the animus of which
becomes apparent when it is remembered that
he was formerly the Private Secretary to Pres
ident Grant, and that he is acknowledged to be
one of the most active workers in behalf of the
Republican party in North Carolina.

In ONE of the large western cities a
plan for providing for the destitute and needy
has been adopted and carried on with great
success. The citizens are called upon to de.
post old clothing, and such useless articles as
only burden them, at the police office. The
merchants make donations of flour, meal,
corn, potatoes and bread; also, orders for
small quantities of wood and coal. These are
distributed among the deserving poor, and
honest beggars, instead of disturbing the
people with pitiful tales at their street doors,
apply to the police for assistance, and their
wants are supplied with more discrimination
than the citizens themselves are apt to use.
The number of persons in. this city who are
actually starving is very large. If this plan
were adopted here much of the suffering that
is going on right around US might be
alleViated.

With this unqualified guarantee by Con-
gress of our bonds, and with such resources
to ensure the payment of the interest and
meet the demands of the sinking fund,
there is every reason to believe that our
bonds are to-day as valuable as those of
any of the Northern and Eastern cities,
many of which are now at a premium.
They will very soon be all absorbed by
trust companies, insurance and other fnan-
cial institutions where absolute security is
of more importance than high rates of
