CLASS VII.

GLASS VII.
The committee of class No. z, report but
four entries as follows:
1 cactus in pot; poppy cutting; Golden
fuchsia; 1 collection cut flowers. @
The three first, since they were neither
collections of plants in pots nor of cut flow
ers they could not compete for either of the
premiums offered. The poppy was very
fine specimen and deserves this special men,
ton. The single collection of cut flowers for
which premium is awarded, was very credit
able indeed, both in number of varieties aud
arrangement. There were 1850 varieties
closely packed in two oblong boxes so sup
piled with water at the bottom that the
flowers retained their beauty throughout the
whole time of the fair.
The flowers in one of the boxes were so
arranged as to present the letters w. l. A.
thus; which was not only ornamental but
stood for Washington Industrial Association,
an institution which our flower lovers should
remember next year in different manner
from the show this year. There were many
beautiful plants in pots and choice boquets
on stands placed here and there for orna.
ment; but only four entries for premiums.
Another year we hope to see more compe-
tition in this class as well as in other depart
ments.

his betrayal of the constituents who had
branded ELDREDoE and then discharged
him from their service. He was equal to
the occasion, and here is his defence: "And
while | have no doubt such course was
not authorized by the law, there can be no
doubt IL has resulted to the benefit of the
public"
The Republicans whitewashed every
thing rs usual, ana some of them for very
substantial reasons. Mr.. HARDENBERoH
"concurred in their report, with modiflca-
tions as set forth by the Hon. GEORGE w.
CATE These two OBJECTIONS gave tho
Republicans the ascendoncy, defeated Mr..
BuCKNER's honest report, and prevented
him from passing bill that would have
punished the Commissioners and their
confedcrates.
Mr.. HARDENBERGH cannot escape tho
responsibility of this conduct and VIII en-
he pretends To excuse IL by saying " il was
OH motion of the Chairman himself that the
report which | signed was directed certi-
fed TO the Attorney G enera, TO the end
that il there had been violations OF law the
parties should be at once prosecuted" he
phly ubhS Nillii NtttDllou W HIS OiiCI
offence. lie ana CATE drove Mr.. BUCkNER
to that extremity by their desertion,
knowing that il was mere trick and ut
tcrly worthless even IA an expedient to
pursue the Ring. He now has the audacity
TO say, in this am sustained by the citi-
zens of Washington, who are waiting JUS
tice ut the hands of Congress" Let him
name one, not connected with the Ring,
who approves his treachery, and he shall
be adjudged innocent.
The effrontery OF making New Jersey
bear the burden of RoBEsoN's rascalities,
and putting forward that honorcd Com
monwealth to shield his corruption, is sur
passing. Hear him: "Was not New Jer-
sey's honor Mt stake, in tina, a son of hers,
a Cabinet officer, was on trial before the
country Was the honor Of Iowa
affected because BELKNAP, another Cabi-
net officer, lately colleague and confed-
crate of RoBEsON, sold his trust almost in
open market, huckstcred post trader
ships, and even the gravestones of Union
soldiers, among Republican thevesY The
sickening gush Of this mbcCle who mis-
represents IN intelligent people, thus out
ragged by his weakness, if nothing worse,
ought TO send him where he belongs.
They want no champions of Boss smEP-
HERD or SEcoR RoBEsoN in Congress. Mr.
HARDENBERGH may be the honest man
that he processes TO be in his letter, and
with repeated emphasis but we don't be-
leve il.

The Personal Attacks U pom Mr.. Tildcn.

The fact that the most viglant of the
Republican journals can find nothing to
Rllege against Mr.. TuDEN but the UNI
proven allegations in n civil suit, may I've
taken as very strong evidence of the ex-
pelIeuco of his personal character Such
suit cannot be tried in the newspapers.
Everybody knows that. when IL is tried
before the proper tribunal-a court of
tustice-wc have no doubt the correctness
of Mr.. T1LDEN's professional conduct will
be fully established. We Judge 30 from
the whole tenor of his life. He is over
sixty years of age, and his professional
reputation has steadily increased ever since
he was admitted to the bar. The astute-
ness which lac showed In ferretiug out the
Ring frauds in this city, was extraordi-
nary. Whatever he charged the railroads,
we may safely conclude they got full
value in the services which he rendered
them.
Nothing is easier than for n plaintiff TO
pile up accusations in a civil suit; TO prove
them is quite another thing.
Take the case OF CHARLES O'CoNoR. lie
Is worshpped as a demi-god, rather than
regarded as mere mortal. Yet, short
lime ago, on the complaints of the connec-
lions aud friends of "A former client of his,
he was made to appear guilty of very hard
practice in his profession. He demanded

others were appointed 10 look INTO the
matter, ana they reported that MIR. O'CoN-
bR's couduot had been all right.
So we entertain no misgiving that if Chief
Judge CHURCH, WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs, JOHN
K. PORTER, CHARLES A.-PEABoDY, and
JAMES EMorT were appointed commits
ZION to investigate the professional conduct
Of SAMUEL J. TILDEN, they would unani-

san Further Reductions In Freight Rates
Nuinou- Prices.


Some days ago it was announced that
the rates on all classes Of freight from New
YORK TO Chicago had been reduced below those
charged by the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. The
latter corporation had cut to twenty i've cents
per hundred POUNDS on frat, second, and third
class freights, anu to sixteen cents on fourth
class. This was practically cutting oil west
ward bound freight to sixteen cents, as the bulk
OF II is fourth class.
The Erie then announced still lower rates.
viz, twenty cents for the first three classes and
thirteen cents per hundred pounds for fourth
class. IL wus supposed by many railroad men
that there would be no further reduction as
these rates were regarded rs suicidal.
The Baltimore aud Ohio and the New York
Central Railroads announced that they would
not take freight al twenty aud thirteen cents,
preferring rather to leave the trade to their
rivals aud run their cars back empty to Chicago.
They found. however. that their customers
would not send by their nues when they could
obtain lower rates elscwh re, ana for a few
DAYS back the resolution To stand out for
twenty-five and sixteen cents per hundred has
been broken. The res ut Is that the greatest
demnraiiz zion exists in the carrying trade, aud

The difference between GILaoRE's beer

city abounds lies In the fact that the former ex-
actsuan admission fee from visitors. The police

cordance with their occasional orders. to enforce
the Excise law, and arrest Its violators without
warrant or ceremony. But the propnetors OF
