Mr., Hoar and the Press.

MIR. Hoar of Massachusetts did very
wise and manly thing in the house Thurs
day, when he set his foot on hasty and
muddlepated proposition reported by Mr..
Cannon of Illinois, for tamperng with the
public mails under the threadbare pretense
OF preventing the dissemination OF sob
scene and immoral publications." Lecisla-
ton of this sort is greatly affected by pre-
cisely such scamps as the two Massacb1-
sets ex-senators, Pond and Wlnslow, one
OF wnom IS now convict, and the other a
fugitive for INDUCING in certain irregular
tiles known to the law as "forgcres. We

into 1.-THE domain of theological opinion
and TO bring down upon men the odiun,
MeoI9glcnm, which is worse even than DO

kicked itself over, and was recomnitted

The Press and the Mails.

In the house on Thursday, while the bill
providing penalties for the sending of OBJ
scene matter through the mails was under
consideration, Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts,
said that quite recently the press of the
country had been thrown into state of in.
tense excitement by the bill reported by
MIR. Poland, which provided for the trial
In the District of Columbia, of the publish
ers OF newspapers printed elsewhere, and
which should contain lbsls. In bis judg-
ment the press was quite right in its oppo-
sition to that law, which was entirely CON
trary to sound principles but, in his judg-
ment, this bill very clearly exposed the
press of the country to danger hundred
fold greater than the one contained IN Mr..
Polands bill. Whenever jury in any To-
cality should find that paper contained
matter which might be devoted to a pur-
pose which the jury decreed not only indie
cent but immoral, that jury might convict
the man who sent ii, or the man who re-
ceived 1t through the mails, and the post
master might exclude the paper from the
malls. lie was aware that the same OBJ.
Jection applied to the original text of the
revised statutes. This bill was no worse
In that respect than the existing law, but
IL lne Dill was to be recommitled he de-
sired to bring out this point In the hearing
OF the house, SO that the new law might
correct the great danger to which the press
and the people were exposed.
The bill was recommitted.

The case of those assessors in town in
Cheshire county, New Hampshire, men,
toned in yesterdays GLOBE, who sad,
relative to their appraisal of real estate,
that they had "agreed not to tell until they
hear how other towns have appraised
their real estate, SO that they can alter
their figures, if necessary" sounds rather
funny; but, after all, wherein does it diff
fer IN practical results from the practice
which, in Vermont, has the sanction of the
law Here the assessors-that is, listers
have no occasion for silence, as after they
make their appraisal, they meet in county
convention, and raise or lower it, or leave
it as it is, so that il, may be substantially
alike in all the towns. After this is done,
then the appraisal is subjected to another
raising or lowering process by state con-
vention, and the ''tgures altered" so that
all the counties and towns may be apprais-
ed alike-and that without much regard to
actual value. The only difference is, that
the New Hampshire assessors endeavored
to do indirectly that which, in Vermont,
has all the sanction of law.

THE INVESTIGATIONS
Tho Department of Justice.

A meeting Of the committee on expen-
dtures in the department of justice was
held Saturday morning Mr.. Caulfeld,
of Illinois, the chairman, has been engaged
tor some time in obtaining information
from various sources in regard to the
abuses existing in that department. and
Monday the committee began the work
of investigation in earnest. Two sub-com-
mitees were appointed, one to visit he
attorney generals office and examine the
records of the same, consists of Messrs
Caulfield Of Illinois, Durham of Kentucky,
and Joyce of Vermont. The other sub
committee to investigate the report of ex-
penditures of the United States court In
the state Of Mississippi is composed of
Messrs. Caulield, Mcmahon, Joyce and
Durham. The former sub committee will
meet at the attorney generals office next
Saturday, and the latter committee will
hold its first meeting this Tuesday evening.
The committee will thoroughly investigate
the enormous expenditures made by the
United States courts in Arkansas, South
Carolina, Mississippi and other southern
states and the territories. In Arkansas
the expenditures in the department Of
justice for that state exceed those of an y
other state in the union, and the official,
there claim that it is due to the unsettled
condition of the country and the great
difficulty of subpenaing witnesses. though
the investigation last session developed
enormous frauds there.

ECONOMY AND HUMANITY.

Ills Excellency, Asahel Peck, governor
of the state of Vermont, having refused to
call special session of the general assem-
bly,, presumably, for economical reasons
although, he says sit would serve no
" beneficial purpose to attempt to set forth
+" the various considerations which have
g weighed in my mind'-has now refused
to grant amnesty" to James Girain and
Charles Butterfly now confined in the Rut-
land county jail-the one for intoxication,
and the other for having in lis possession
intoxicating liquor with intent to sell the
same contrary 10 law. There is no neces
sary connection between these two acts of
the goyernor-any further than being
equally inexplicable-an we only call at
tention to them at the same time as show
ing the governors idea of economy, how
jealousy he guards the interests of the pc. =
pie, and to point out what might have been
A special session or the general assembly
would have cost the people of the state five
thousand, ten thousand fifteen thousand
twenty thousand, or twenty-five thousand
dollars, according rs one or the other sum
might have been appropriated-and the
governor, presumably, refused to convene
the general assembly in order that such
money might be saved TO the tax payers.
This retrenchment and economy is COM
mendable surely, but when governor
holds himself out as a special embodiment
of economy, the people would be better
pleased 10 see more uniform exercise of
1t; and this suggests that special session
of the general assembly might have been
convened, an appropriation of ten thous.
and or twenty thousand dollars made, the
members have received their full per diem
and mileage without calling upon the
wicked Governor Smith to ''dead-head"
them, If the governor had practically car
ried out the true ideas of economy, and
shown little humanity in such cases as
those of Gllrain and Butterfly. And VIC
may be permitted to suggest that restoring
husbands and fathers to families in need ia
