THE sTATEn PRISONER.

The public is well acquainted with the
prison life of the ''recusant witness" Mr..
Irwin. 1t is nothing more nor less than
simple mockery Of justice. If he has done
anything emitting him 10 communion and
fellowship with jail-birds, he certainly
ought to enjoy ii, and if he has earned for
any sin the wages of prison life, he surely
ought TO have his pay in the lawful rigors
attaching to such situation, always, of
course, keeping humanity in view. To say
the least, he is there under the solemn CON-
mItment of the House of Representatives,
and this carries as much weight as the SEN
tence of a judge from the bench. We are
not Directing particularly to Mr.. Twins
situation. 1t is the absolute absurdity of
the affair which provokes comment. The
best room in the Jail has been fitted up with
every luxurious comfort in the way of car
pets, bedding and furniture. His meals
are sent from Wormley's splendid table.
Two or three servants are in constant
waiting, and the surgeons-in-chief of
the army and navy of the United States
consult together at his bedside in regard to
his health. His surroundings and the at
tention he receives are of that imperial
character which belong to free prince Sc
cure on his throne, and not to man who
has been guilty of such a violation of the
law as consigns one to the condition of
felon. The whole thing fairly glitters with
mockery and absurditY. 1t is no answer
that Mr. Irwin has money and can COM
mand about him all this regal magnifcence.
The common Jail is no place for man
under circumstances such as surround him.
If he is likely to run away, and the saliva
ton Of the country depends upon knowing
Just what he did with few thousand dol
lars, a room in the Capitol would hold him
or the present; at any rate our Jail is not
fine place within which to erect palace
apartments for the confinement of imperial
prisoners of state, unadjudged by compe-
tent tribunals of justice 10 be guilty of
criminal infraction of law.

"THE NATIONAL

This is the title of new magazine published
by the National Publication Company of this
city. The February number and the first was
issued yesterday, and, as a Washington enter
prise, it was sincerely and warmly greeted.
We are aware Of the many troubles and disap-
pointments the publication and editorial de-
partments have had with the first number,
and for that reason do not feel disposed to
subject the magazine to any of the rules OF
criticism. In size and style of binding 1t re-
minds one of "Harper's." Its illustrated arti-
cles are 1.-THE National Capital" and ''The
American Centennial" The latter is a we'll
written article, and its illustrations add to its
value. The former is as poor as poor can be
in the way of information. Its accompanying
designs are we'll selected, but lose gil force
because lot written up to. "The Graves and
Cilley Duel' and "Luck of the Old Constitu-
ton Frigate" are valuable contributions. The
paper is inferior, the Typography is poor and
the press work miserable; but all things must
have a beginning, and we have great confidence
in the belief that the succeeding number will
be vastly superior to this. Mdete rirtiae.

A MAI named V. W. Smith lives at SyraS
cuse, New York He has written a brief
paragraph, which would fill five columns
of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, entitled a
"New Years Address, - and Inscribed to
"the Hon. Speaker Blaine, Of the House
"of Representatives, in which the writer
"gives his opinion Of the causes which led
''to the late disastrous results at the cleo
''tions, and suggests the most feasible and
'infallible method Of restoring the Repub-
"lican party to power, and thus preserving
&c the integrity Of the Union" This Smith

REPRESENTATIVE HAwLEY, of COnnec.
ticut, declares that he was not interviewed
by the New York Times correspondent,
and that as a consequence the remarks
ascribed to him in the columns Of that
journal, regarding the situation in Louis,
lana, were based upon insubstantial reports.
We were OF this opinion from the begin
ming. Governor Hawley is too careful a
man TO express definite opinions regarding
any subject before all the facts are in his
possession. Now that those facts have
been made public, let us hear from him in
a more substantial form.

God gave us our own judgments for guild
ance as to our duties, and when We have
done our best in the light accorded to US,
we are justified. If we do wrong because
jackson or Jefferson did wrong, when our
own judgments say we should do other
wise, then we are responsible for that
wrong, and cannot make jackson or Jeffer-
son stand in our stead. These specimens
are simply quoted for the benefit of those
who desire to shirk present responsibilities
to the shoulders of dead statesmen.

THE Baltimore Sun thinks that soldiers,
as a class, ere not statesmen, though states
men may be soldiers. Winfield Scott
Hancock is a soldier, and is described by
the Democratic papers to be q statesman.
Especially was this the case whel he was
in command in New Orleans. Will the
Sun explain this apparent inconsistency?
By the way, since the Baltimore Gazette
has begun to send its market reports South,
accompanied by ringing, singing and red
hot Democratic editorials, the Sun has not
been quite SO independent and conservative.
How is this? The railroads leading out
of Baltimore and Washington are now
freighted with the country editorials OF
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN and the Ga
sette, the two journals in this section recog-
nized as representatives of the two great
political parties.

THERE is a rumor afloat that the Wash
ington Gas Company has in its possession
an unpaid gas bill for something less than
Sc, 900 against a certain ex-United State:
Senator. We have long known that Sena
tors enjoy many privileges not accorded tc
other people, but this is the first time We
remember hearing that one of them re.
ccived his gas for nothing. Perhaps this
fact may account for evident peculiaritie:
in his speeches while in the Senate, if no
for his course since he left that body.

Bryant-an old man In his dotage, soured

Evarts-a chronic speaker at Indignation

Gordon ought 10 have gratitude enough to
remember that the country OF his nativity
