entertainment had been made matters OF dis
cussion, and that questions had been asked as
to whether the Presidential party should or
should not drink wine, or should or should
not smoke cigars; that the amount of wine
charged in the bill had been matter Of
amazement and rcproach and that one of the
committee went SO far as to publicly ex-
press his alarm lest the habits of President
Grant should lead him into an unusual and
painful condition of life.
We do not see really how the President
could arrive at any other conclusion. 1t is
the gravest offence that can be committed in
modern society for a host to put an insult
upon his guest. We cannot imagine anything
more offensive than for host to invite gen.
ueman to his house and after he has departed
either to comment upon his habits or man
ners or to discuss the wine he drank or the
cigars he smoked or to in any way make pub
lie declarations affecting his behavior or his
character. When this offence is committed
by public body and when the subject of 1T is
no less a parsonage than the President of the
United States there can be but one answer
This the President has properly made. 1t
may be rather an extreme act for him to re-
solve that he would not visit Bunker Hill or
any of the other centennial celebrations that
take place in New England The authorities
who had charge of this celebration in Bos-
ton can scarcely be held responsible for
the boorishness or indecency of those who
had charge of the celebrations elsewhere
AT the same time it is hard to draw the line.
A gentleman who has been treated like the
President may wei be parloned for hesitating
to put himself in position to incur repei-
ton of the affront

RECOMMENDATION mt w est Point.

The meeting of the Union and Confederate
soldiers at West Point this yeal is most grati-
flying event. 1t shows that til efforts of un.
wise men to prolong the err. of bad feeling
between the South and the n orth have sig
nally failed. The soldiers on both sides
would long ago have buried the Ratchet
had not intriguing poi ticians, tor
their own selfish ends, consti nifty famed
the expiring antagonisms Of thu war. The
clasping of hands at West Point is significant
us representing the thought of the most COM
handing figures of the defunct Contederacy.
In reappearing among their West Point COM
rades such men as Longstreet and Smith viz
tually confessed that the separatist idea was
dead, and that nothing remained for good citi-
zens, whether belonging to the North or South,
but to heal the wounds inflicted on the common
country in our fratricidal civil struggle. The
war is at an end, and that reconstruction OF
spirit on which the success of mere political
reconstruction must depend has begun in
earnest The South not alone submits to the
law OF the conqueror, but accepts the result OF
the war 40 final. And it is as an assurance of
this desirable state of the Southern mind that
this meeting of the men who left West
Point as comrades to meet on the
battle field as foes is SO significant.
1t is desirable that our centennial year should
find Us truly reunited. This can only be &C
compIished by making the men who lost IN
the struggle understand that we of the North
harbor no resentment and that we look upon
them as brothers. 1t is only by convincing
the South of tho reality of this sentiment that
we can hope to have all Americans pray that
We may be vouchsafed in the future one coun-
try and one flag.

grace to the city of New York. Such
rickety, miserable structure should long ago
have been replaced by substantial one.
One of these days, when some frightful acct
dent occurs during the return from the Jerome

our careless authorities TO pay little attention
to their duties and bestow some consideration
on the lives of taxpayers.

ARE THE CONTRACTORS who planted the pest
beds in the Harlem fats to be indicted? The
people of New York expect that men who SO
far forget their duty as citizens as to seek to
make money by sowing pestilence in the

impunity. McQuade and the others ought to
be indicted without further delay, and Cor
poration Counsel Smith should at once begin

paid to them.

COMPTROLLER GREEN AND TIE BOARD or
EDUCATION. Board Of Education has re-
solved to institute legal proceedings against
Comptroller Green to compel him 10 hand
over to the Board the money appropriated for
its use. The Commissioners hold that tho
law gives them the right to control and dis
burse the school funds and that Mr. Green $
intermeddling with tie payments IS unau-
thcrzsd, unnecessary and injurious. Il was
agreed, however, that an effort should be
made to settle the matter amcably with the
Comptroller before legal proceedings are
commenced, although two q three Of the
Commissioners expressed the opinion that
MI Green's stubbornness and obstructive
ness rendered any attempt % bring him to
reason by fair means farcical waste Of time.
The sentiment in favor Of testing Mr. Green's
right to NEEDLE with the funds by an appeal
to the courts was unanimous. Not a single
department Of the city government that does
not place itself abiectly under tho Comptrol-
ler's heel can escape a conflict with that per-
verse and grasping official.

Information received from the Rio
Grande is to the effect that the troubles along
that river, growing out of the cattle raids by
MexicanS, are as bad as ever. The Mexican
raiders have contract to deliver $4,000 head
of cattle at Monterey, and expect to steal
them from Texas. 1t has been asccrtaincd
that one great difficulty under which the
Mexican government labors is that, in send
ing soldiers to the frontier to prevent cattle
raids, they often desert and become cattle
thieves themselves, thus adding to the num-
Der of depredations instead of decreasing
them. The cattle thus stolen are shipped
after being run into Mexico. Cortina him
self was detected some time ago in shipping
cattle from Bagdad, small town on the
south bank of the Rio Grande, for Cuba,
such cattle bearing the marks of Texas
owners. 1t is also known that these cattle
thieves are engaged to a great extent in
smuggling goods into Texas, and on their
return carry cattle with them.
