DIsRAEII has got triumphantly through


his troubles over the British Queens new title
OF Indian Empress. The vote OF censure upon
his Ministry, introduced to the House Of Com
mons, was rejected on Thursday by u majority
OF los, though 1t was supported, not only by the
Opposition leaders, but also by the speeches OF a
number OF the ablest members Of the Liberia
party. DIsRAELr la made this vote a test Of his
strength, and II had been announced that his
Government would stand OF fall according 10
the result of It. 1t may DO assumed that
the Tory whip did his hardest work In
bringing in members to the support Of the Min :
istry, and in securing such show OF strength
as would give hope OF putting at rest the ques-
ton OF the Royal Titles bin. The assumption Of
the coveted title by the Queen had taken place,
by royal proclamation, n fortnight before the
vote Of Thursday, and even had the vote OF CEN
sure been carried. she would not have been de-
prived OF II.

Nj BLAINE has not only been identified
with the worst elements in his party, but
his name is now and has been for years
tainted with the worst forms of Ring job
berry 1t appears in the Credit Mobilier;
the Iowa Falls and Sioux City bonds the
Little Rock and Fort Smith scheme; and
the Kansas Pacific, with many Others upon
which light has yet to be shed. How does
It, happen that he invariably turns up in
these legislative jobs. most OF which
were passed while he was Speaker
During all the excuses Of Grantism, Mr..
BLAINE never opened his lips to denouncc
or even to dsclaim them. On the contrary,
he defended the Administration Mt every
| opportunity, and appointed the select
committees by which its infames were
| whitewashed and the corruption in Con-
| gress was condoncd. Make him President,
and the JAY GouLDs, TON ScoTTs, and
other chiefs of the great Rings would be
| the masters at Washington.
On the other hand. the name OF Mr..
| CoNKLiNa is indebted with any sus-
picion of connection with Rings. He
| is n pronounced Republican, n friend
| OF the President, an ardent support
er of the Administration. and n man of de-
cided ability and culture, far superior to
Mr.. BLAINE; and he Inns, by tho force
OF his intellect and will, taken the foremost
rank In his party. These facts are almost
universally conceded, and it IL quite singu-
lar how Mr.. ADAMS could have been de-
ceived to dispute them. lie must indeed
live in "a very marrow sphere, to be so ig-
norant of the personal history of the times
as TO confound the characters of two con-
snicuous men of the party with which he
has hitherto acted, aud from which he has
derived his opportunities for dis,lnction.

position to take as little baggage ~ possible
and to carry it with them. Passengers who left
this city at noon ON Tuesday last did not get
their trunks In Philadelphia until noon on
Wednesday. and then they were delivered In a
condition so dilapidated as to suggest the idea
that they had travelled at least once around the
world. All previous baggage smashing was gem
tleness itself compared to the ordeal through
which they had passed. One consequence OF
the delay referred to was that many Of the most

been eager to come East to live. lie has grown
rich In California. and wants to spend his money
among his old associates. Schoned used 10 be
a professor mt West Point, ana no made u PROPOSE
ton to the President TO take the place OF Superin-
tendent Of that post. This was eagerly agreed
To by Grant. ms II would involve the removal Of
Mcdowell from Louisville to San Francisco, a
change which Grant believed and hoped would
cause Mcdowell to resign from the service.
Mcdowell II man OF wealth, and, it Ia we'll
known, detests the Pacific coast. He IL, further
more, almost compelled to remain In tue East
through a painful domestic aniction. He can
not, however, refuse to accept the command as
signed MIN, and the only alternative will be to
resign. ms Grant confidently expects.
such a course will leave n major gene ralship

An attempt is TO be made by the man
ayers Of the bible Society to reduce the large
EXPENDITURES incurred every year for the salaries
OF men whose work ought to be done gratui-
tously. This matter is spoken Of in the report
Of the society just published. The saaricd
agents will Of course resist the proposed change,
and may he strong enough to defeat 1t. They
get their livelihood out OF the society. and some
of them would find It hard to get II elsewhere.
1t is astonishing to see, In looking over the re-
ports OF the various religious and benevolent
societies now holding their anniversaries in this
city, how many men receive salaries for services
OF one kind or another that ought 10 DO freely
rendered. In many Of them large part of the
subscriptions Ia thus consumed. 1t is well that
the American Bible Society Is thinking of re-
form In this direction. Other societies should
follow its example, so that the offerings Of the
charitable may not be unworthily consumed.
