WashingtOn News,

WASHINGTON, July IL. An unusually
large number Of members of Congress are
sick, several seriously, from the effect Of
heat.
There is still much speculation over Gen.
JEWELS forced resignation and the current of
opinion, even among the strongest party
leaders is that the PRECEDENT has made mis-
take which will seriously injure the party in
the forthcoming campaign. and especially in
the Eastern States. Mr.. Jewell, himself, to-
day does not know why his resignation was
called for, as no exclamation was offered and
none requested. One of the Presidents per
sonal friends said today that Jewell was
forced out because the President had arrived
at the conclusion that he was hostile to him
personally and doing all he could secretly to
break him down. This is utterly repudiated
by General Jewell, who says he has always
entertained the kindest sentiments towards
the President and worked hard and faithfully
toward making his administration a success
by purifying the service and placing men in
Office who would do their duty faithfully.

Smuggler and Judge Fullerton.

Smuggler and Fullerton trot,cd at Do
YER, N. H., on Tuesday. From 500 to 800
teams and about 4 900 people were on the
park. Smuggler drew the pole, but gave
it to Fullerton on account of difficulty in
getting the word. Fullerton broke on
leaving the wire and lost about six lengths.
At the quarter pole he steadied, but Snug
gler had gained too much to be overcome.
and came in on a jog in 2;27. In the sec
ond heat Fullerton was again ALLOWED the
pole. Smuggler broke on the first quar-
ter, giving Fullerton lead of two lengths;
but the former came down and rapidly
closed the gap, the horses at the half pole
being neck and neck. Smuggler got the
lead, and went under the wire IN 2.2l. In
the third heat Smuggler made another bad
break in the first quarter, losing five
lengths; but as soon as steadled, he did
some handsome trotting, and won the heat
and race in 2:2ii.

"THE PRINTING AND STATIONERY
SWIEnIEu

A startling discovery has been made
and our venerable and venerated pictorial
contemporary is entitled to the honor there
of. 1t is no less than the fact that the eX-
penses of public printing have increased
since 1861, because there is more printing
done now than then Startling discovery
Astute editor We suppose that this
ought to be received as a complete and per-
feet answer to all the complaints which
have been made relative to the increase Of
state expenses from 1861 to 1875. We
should hear no more about the fact that
these annual expenses have increased from
less than one hundred and seventy We
thousand dollars to over three hundred and
seven weight thousand dollars. The joint
committee, which the general assembly
was foolish enough to raise, should be dis
charged At once. A complete, perfect and
satisfactory explanation of the whole mat
ter has been furnished, and it is IS satsfac-
tory as it is perfect.
OF what use now will be the committee
anyway? They will meet, and the ques-
ton will be asked, why have the annual
expenses more than doubled in fourteen
years And the satisfactory answer is re-
turned: Because there were more of the
expenses They will inquire why the
amount of court orders have increased
from forty-ive thousand dollars in 1866
to seventy-two thousand in 1876, the class
of expenses being identical each year, ex-
cept that in 1866 the accounts of the
court auditors were included ? And the
answer promptly comes back: "Because
there were more of EN-" All very salts

the explanation las so long heen dormant
in the brain of the astute editor. He should
be placed side by side with the Worlds
arithmetic man." and both should be ex.
hibited at the centennial as specimens of
wha, a century Of American independents
can produce.
Notwithstanding the perfect and satisfac-
tory nature Of this explanation, il will
strike the average mind az very strange
that in 1861 there was paid for legislative
and official stationery and printing ST.
779.76, and that in 1875 these items amount
ed to S17,431. 81. We hardly think
that thsY will be satisfied with the answer
that there was more stationery furnished
and more printing done in 1875 than in
1861. They will be very apt to recall the
fact that the general assembly was in fes-
sion the same number of days in 1860 as in
1874, and these expenses are for the years
in which these sessions Of the general as
sembly were held-and that there were the
same number of senator's, representatives.
officers and state officers both years; and
remembering this they will be very much
inclined to think, unless some better ex-
PLANTATION is offered that This increase OF
Sl4,651 81 in this single item either re.
presents gross extravaganza or very big
swindie.
We showed, the other day, that the ex-
penses in this matter of public printing
including the printing of reports-aud sta
tionery was S27.180.73 greater in 1871
than in 1861, and We care not to 60 ovel
the items again. Our astute neighbor, how

THE CLONE asserts that it cost to print

This last statement is entirely erroneous.
The report of 1874 cost but $946 so. Our

E4ICU OF PLATEORMS.

The Indiana Republicans have fabricated
platform Of monstrous length which should be
bupg.up mt the Centennial Exhibition AZ a chef
dourre of an art peculiar TO the United States.
The Connecticut Kclleyte rag-money men
have done their business equally well, their
five resolutions swelling out over almost rs
great "A surface a. the twenty from the

were not 50 well provided with wind. Not
being inhationists, il could not he expected
of them to make much of display. How
ever they open with sentence which con-
taiDs more words than all the ten command
ments put together
We detect no evidence in these platforms that
the imitation factions want To 20 further than
they did in 1874. \ comparison of the Indiana
resolutions of the two periods indicates the
reverse. In 1874 tho Indiana Republicans
were in favor Of free banking and
legislation that would " furnish such dddi-
tionai amount of currency as may be
necessary to meet the wants." ETC. Now
they are in favor of "ultimatc redemption"
which VIC suppose, means redemption when
the affairs of this world are finally wound up.
They think that tins will not happen until
after January, 1879, as theS favor the repeal
of the act fixing that date for resumption. On
the other hand they take the position that
"the currency should remain ndisturbed,
"neithcr contracted nor expanded which Is
certainly not imitation. They are also in favor
of leaving the currency i'll the hands of its
friends and protecting il from the contamina-
ting touch of the Democrats. They have nomi-

9. The selection of st. Louis as the place
for holding the Democratic National Conven-
ton is, on the whole, favorable to the lnna-
tionists, and unfavorablc to either Gov. Iilden

friends would have been better pleased with Chi-
cago, and probably best of all with Boston-the
place which Lamar suggested, and in which
the Convention would have had the warmest

has a great deal to do with such gathering,
especially when politics are all IN chaos; ana
