aggregate 50 much ~ manJ Of tho distin-
guiahcd Democratic gentlemen who hold tho
Office In tho "good old days." Mr. JHrFEn-
Bon, 1t appears from The record, was absent
from the Capital more than two years out Of
the eight which ho served as President; all
the inoumbons Of tho Office, from WAsntsa-
TON TO LINCOLN, exercised their own discso-
ton about nbsenting tAcmselvea, md many Of
them spont much more Of thoir .timo elae-
whore than Geu. GRANr has spent
IA to the Inference from tho House rcsolu-
tion, thnt tho President has no authority to
do any official acts outside Of Washington, 1t
simply shows tho ignorance Of tho men whom
tie Democrats have chosen to represent thom
in Congress. There is nothing in the Con-
atitution, nor In the laws OF the United
States, nor In the precedonts, which warrants
my snch assumption. The only locat;on Of
tho noat OF Government contained In tho
Constitution Is in tie enumeration Of tho
powers Of Congress, which says that Con-
gress shall "oxeroise exclusive legislation
in all oa8es whatsoever over such district
(not exceeding 10 miles aquare) as may,
by cessiou Of particular States and the ac-
ceptance Of Congress, become tho seat
Of tho Government Of tho United States,"
cto. But there is nothing requiring
tho constant residence Of tho President In
that seat Of Government, though It Is
evidently his implied duty to mako 1t his
headquarters. There are many supposablo
circumstances, however, which would noces-
aitate his removal, mud many formor Prsai.
eouts (among them WARRINGTON, ApAHB,
JEFFERSON and MAD1aoN) exercised the pow
ers Of the Office at distance from the Capital
ut their own pleasure and convenience. Nor
were any yof these gentlemen ever oalled upon
by Congress of iguoranuses to mako apology
or explanation for doing what they had n
right to do. As to Mr. BLACKBURN, who In
stigated the adoption Of the impudent reso~
luton Of inquiry, it will be we'll for his con-
stituonts to relegate him to private life until
lo ahall have acquired some Of tho rudiments
Of law and the public service.

Tic fellow in tho play, who goes around

with the usual aud proper discontinue, md
now Alr. BLACKBURN has been aummarily,
ovon though aguratively, kicked down Rtairs,
whoro he ought to stay. 4 Paul Pry is cor-
tainly very disagreeable and objootional
person on general principles, but his career
during tho present Congress Aas been rather
beneficial than otherwise to the Republican
Administration and party. For instance, Mr.
BzAcKnunN's impertinont resolution, calling
upon the President for information which
Congress had no authority to ask, gave Gen.
CHANT the opportunity for m official reply
to the Democratic criticism which Inns been
made for years on his occasional absence
from Washington. As long as this criticism
was confined to party newspapers and tho
stump-speeches Of his political opponents, it
would hare been undignified In tho President
OF tho United States to tako notice Of it eyen
though 1t waa entirely unjust but when Con-
gross gave an official expression to this criti-
cisul, it was proper for Gen. GnANT to reply to
It in fitting terma, and indicats not merely its
injustice, but also its impertinonce. This he
haa done thoroughly in tho recent message he
sent to tho House,
The popular interest In this controversy
will be mainly confined to tho answer tho
President makes to tho charge that he has
neglected Lis duties by abssuting himself
from tho Capital during the dog-days, and by
an occasional attendance upon conspicuous
public celebrations. There II something In
finitesimally Bman In tho assumption TINT
the American people deny to their Chief
Executive the midsummer hliday taken by
tho most obscure c!erk in any Of the
Government Departments in Washington. A
continuous residence IN that city during tho
summer, particularly for persona who were
not renrod in tho climata, IL not merely ais*
ag.eeab!e. but dangerous. There Is sullcn
sort Of sultriness about Washington summer
weatLor, with its scorohing sun and lack Of
winds. The situation is low, and tho city is
cut OF by the surrounding hills from the
publication Of tho winds. It ia too far re-
moved from the sea to enjoy the salt air, and
the Potomac at low water diffuses noxious
and unhealthy smells. In escaping from MI
this, tho President sclected summer rasi.

hours Of travel and few minutes' commu.

for which figures are given. In the quarter

tho reduction has been much more conBidern-
bic, the number being 1901 in 1866, and 049

LOCAL TAXATION AND DEBr IN ENGLAND.
Tho March number, Of F'raser's Mdgazine
contains criticism upon the Annual Report
Of tho English Local Government Board,
which brings out somo facts touching local
taxation and local government which aro not
gennrally known or understood in this coun-
try, summary of which will prove of In
terost, as giving general view OF tho ex-
national expenditure for 1874 was $874, ,6l0,-
200, which has since been increased $ss5,-
600, 900, and in addition to this sum there hns
been expended under the head Of local tnx-
alton $183.82f, ITS, thus milking the totnl
national outlay $5s3, 1855 The increase
Of local indebtedness has boen remarkable.
While tho expenditure under tho head Of
local taxation has boen 8103, 1924, ,775, the
amount raised by annual imposts has been
only $l14,785, 155, leaving n difference Of
s4s,539, ,o2o, representing the debt incurred
during the year. The local taxation as COM
pared with our own country ia only about
one-haf the latter. Our local taxation In 1870
was $280, ,591, ,62l, and during tho succeeding
six years it has probably increased to $780,
ooo, ,000,-the ercoss over the English tax be-
ing due to our larger country and population,
although Great Britain Inns twice tho amount
OF property drawing interest to DO 1ovied on.
The Statistical Department of tho Local Gov
ornment Board nlso furnishes SONS interest

Of the local authorities Of England for loans
in 1873, ~, rs, tho aggregate Of which
reaches thu handsome GUM of $415,91O, 600,
tho heavier amounts Of which were raised at
a per cent, giving m approximate annual
amount OF interest of $18,076, 900, which is
