Professor Girod, who had been con-
fined in Jail for six weeks past on a
charge of embezzling money
belonging to D. II. Baldwin q Co.,
of Cincinnati, had an examination before
Judge Evans on last Friday, and was dis
charged. Girod is pretty sharp fellow,
but that head and neck will always con-
denim him. He looks just exactly like
the great Kentucky mule lawyer, Bris-
tow. We told Linn this, and he says he
thinks it is rough enough on him to
have been in Jail, without comparing
him to the great muleteer.
BY the way Prof Girod will give one
of his best entertainments at the City
Hall on Wednesday night Of this week.
1t will pay to go and hear him.

The investigating committees of the
Brigadier Democracy in the House, have
had one Bluford Wilson, Bristow's So
licitor of the Treasury, as a witness
against Grant. He could not tell much
after all, and his veracity is much demor-
allied by the fact that when he left the
Office he packed up two boxes of letters
and papers, which he pretended were
private, and had been mixed in with the
public records. 1t was found that the
letter with Grants famous Endorsement,
"Let no guilty man escape" was missing.
Wilson's boxes were opened, and the
missing letter was found concealed in
one of them.
No such charge was ever brought
against Mark Sternberger. He sells goods
cheap, and resorts to no tricks. Store

PARTISAN CHARGES.

Granting the want OF an able and Alto
gether incorruptible organ of Democracy,
which required the establishment of one
altogether above reproach, We are satisfied
that in power Of political abuse and
capacity for political injustice the pre-ex-
isting Democratic journals have been I'M
exceptionable.
The Picoyune seems to have forgotten
the admonitions of sage experience, and
is rapidly reverting to that tone Of VIC
lence which brought it under the san
culinary flag and resounding hammer of the
sheriff's auctioneer. l. openly contrasts
the activity of the Democratic House with
the apathy of the Republican Senate. and
concludes:
Comparing the d ferent political com
plexiOn of the two house7, i. "a in o7es.bin
to avoid fastening the responsibility upon
the Republicans.
Upon recurl ng to the numerous bills
which have been ginned out by the exem-
plary House, We note some interesting
facts, That there have been in session
during the past year reform associations
who have prepared series Of bills for the
advantage of those who have drafted
them. In a schedule Of some fifteen OF
these bills we find three that refer to the
State and city printing and advertising.
They are very elaborate and very radical.
In the preparation and enactment of these
it is not unfair to suppose that the various
Democratic organs may be reasonably in
terested. There is an act amending the
election law anu abolishing the Returning
Board, so much in favor with Democracy
so long as Hatch, Da Ponte, Forman,
DeFeriet and other Democratic gentle
men could award its certificates.
The landlords, then, present bills for
uniform assessment, to define the object
Of drainage, to suspend the drainage tax
and stay all executions therefor There is
also bill to bestow the appointment Of
the police upon the Democracy. Here,
then, we have more than half this extra
ordinary activity somewhat accounted for
by anterior preparation at the hands of
interested parties, and tending to weaken
the one party by transfer of patronage
which will strengthen the other. We are
astonished to see no bill quoted which
effects the reduction Of the princely
salaries and perquisites now enjoyed by
the Democratic city administration and
the Democratic city officials.
There is another facility which greatly
aids the Democratic House. This is a
Democratic caucus which accompanies
the actions Of the Legislature, and pre-
pares for adoption not merely acts drawn
by the most astute attorneys, but meas
ures OF policy calculated to advance the
party in whose interests it deiberates.
We submit that, with all these aids and
accessories, it is not surprising the Dem
ocratic House should pass the acts in
which its own party is interested, while
the Senate, not having the advantage of
equal agencies, and not willing to execute
! the partisan acts Of its opponents, has

THE DISTRICT JuDGsHIP,

Our special dispatches bring us the not
unexpected announcement that the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee will report favor
ably upon the nomination of Mr.. Billings,
and that his confirmation is assured.
This will be welcome news, not only to
the numerous personal and political
friends Of MIR. Billings, but to parties
who have cases pending or ready to be
brought in the United States District
Court The Democrats have made most
bitter fight against this confirmation,
chiefly on the ground that Mr.. Billings
gave his professional advice and assistance
on the right side when Louisiana was con-
tending for a legal and constitutional
government against the partisans of mob
law before Judge Durell. In this
strife they have succeeded in
enlisting number Of halfway
Republicans, like Booth, Of Cali
fornia, Christiancy, Of Michigan, Hamil-
ton, Of Texas, and perhaps one or two
others. The Republican majority, de-
Quoting the semi-disa8ected, is not very

ancestress, the same plea has been set up
by all who want the moral courage to bear
their own share of the penalty upon vlo-
lation of law. We say, punish the off,
cial felons, because they have violated the
law, and then proceed with the Democratic
offenders. As the dealers in fraudulent
revenue goods are more numerous than
the officials who assist them, we may hope
that Republican strength in the next
presidential election may be greatly in
creased by the Democratic offenders who
will join Joyce in prison, or Tweed and
his companions in exile.

given its primary attention to acts for
the general welfare of the State, rather
than to the exclusive promotion of its
own partisan purposes.
The Picoyune more than intimates that
unless the ready-made bills shall be
passed Immediately, 1.-THE tacit conditions
of the compromise will have been vio-
lated" This is really new phrase. "The
tacit condition" game was played last
spring when it was attempted to be shown
that special session was "tacit condi-
ton Of the compromise" There was no
evidence that Mr.. Wheeler had proposed
any such condition, yet it was yielded by
the Republicans as price of peace and
essential for the confirmation of the agree
ment. Those who were concerned in the
compromise, and those, especially, who
remember the manner in which the
Picayune was berated by the Last Ditch
ers, will be surprised to hear such an as
sertion from such source. 1t was then
''tacit condition" that the Democracy
should have the control of the House; that
the printing laws and contracts should be
repealed; that the police force should be
turned over to the Democracy; that the
law Of election shall be changed and the
Returning Board abolished, and that the
princely revenues of the Democratic sher-
ifs, clerks and Administrators shall be
left untouched. If these were "tacit con.
ditions, they were so silent and so secret
that those who treated of them at the
time never heard them mentioned. If
these conditions existed, then they should
be void, for the idiocy Of any party which
would have assented to them. They were
simply conditions that the Republican
party should surrender both houses and
enact such bills as the Democracy should
present.

TOO BAD.

i
The organ of the Bourbons is distressed
on hearing the news from Brazos, Texas
It appears, on the authority of the Bryan
Appeal, that the farmers of that rich
valley have raised an immense crop Of
cotton-enough, in fact, to endanger the
markets of the world. They are hurrying
it forward, however, in utter disregard of
the threatened glut, and, alas the day!
boarding the greenbacks they receive for
it! Now, this is truly alarming state OF
affairs. What will the foolish Texas
farmers do if all this money turns to waste
paper on their hands, like SO much Con-
federate money? And in the opinion OF
the Democrat "a domestic difficulty or a
foreign war" would effect this alchemic
change in twinkling. Besides, boarding
these prospectively worthless greenbacks
has the effect to tighten the money mar
ket, thus making accommodations in
bank difficult to obtain except upon very
solid collaterals. Since the Texas Demo-
cracy has fallen into the pernicious habit
ofhoarding greenbacks, and Senator Bogy,
the successor of Old Bullion Benton, has
moved in Congress that they be received
for customs dues in lieu of gold, there
seems to be little left in this world worth
living for The "good old traditions
have been trampled under foot in the
house of their friends, and the faithful
grow weary, footsore and discouraged.
Now, while we are willing to extend our
sympathies to all those who grieve, from
whatever cause, sense of duty, founded
perhaps upon superior knowledge or
better sense, requires US to caution the
Democrat against too great precipitancy
in giving people advice in the manage
ment of their financial concerns. The
human instinct is unerring, while reason
often follows false scent The instinct
Of these honest cotton growers instructs
them that their greenbacks will be good
as long as we have government over our
heads, and patriotism never permits one
to look beyond. They do not care to at
tempt to penetrate the dark mystery that
lies behind another domestic difficulty"
As for foreign war, and its probable ef-
feet on greenbacks, there is very little
need for apprehension. The paltry sum
of $3.50, 1000, 600 in paper now circulating
throughout the whole country would not
have much weight on one side or the
other.
1t is generally safe rule to let those
who have money, control it, and those
who have none, work for it and then enjoy
the same privilege.
