Mr.. KEAN, of Winfield, Long Island. in
splred by a Just admiration for that truly good
man, Deacon RICHARD SMITH. OF Cincinnati,
sends us a letter nominating him for President,
and urging us to come out uncompro misingly
in support OF that nomination. We regret to
tell Mr.. KKAS that this thing cannot be done,
at least at present. There Is q constitutional
prohibition In the way. Deacon RICHARD SMITH
was bora In Ireland, and the Constitution
now stands, only native citizen can become
President. Fortunately, however, this ciroum-
stance does not prohibit Mr.. KEAS from con-
tinuing to cultivate that beautiful sympathy
with true goodness which his letter evn ces.
lie can still love Deacon RICHARD SMITH, al
though he cannot vote for him for President.

JAY GouLD has for some time had in

made the halls of the Lotos Club again aud
again resound with his chaste elOquenco.
Astonshed foreigners have listened with
awe to his language and stood transfix ed by

ponderous and gives evidence Of Power

love and sadness with which he adorus it
having all the beauty and charm of the
varlecated flowers which gladden. the eye on
some graceful rock of the valley. IL Is hard
TO say what he might not talk about at the
Centennial, SO wide-reaching is the scope
of his Powerful Mind. Probably, however,
he would celebrate the glories of our trans
continental railway and our great steam
ship line, and expound the theory and
principles of i ck-jobbing journalism. IL

Mr.. A. J. CAMPBELL has introduced in the
Legisl1ture bill TO reduce the number OF the
District justices Courts In this city. and for tho
abolition Of large number Of sinecure ogices
connected with them. which certainly should
become law. The business Of those courts,
which too often have been ssYlums for the
maintenance OF third-rate politicians, could be
just as effectively transacted n the proposed re-
ducton OF their number should be made, while
the city would be relieved from the support OF
numerous persons who render no equivalent for
the money they receive from the puolic treas

result In saving ti25,OOO annually. without any

| into the legality OF these issues, which are
believed to be tainted with fraud and cor
riiption. All such appeals went for
nothing. Even MIR. EDMUNDs vouched for
the integrity OF the Commissioners; and
Mr.. DAWES, after condemning their acts,
gave them a certificate OF character, i'm
Guiding j. III. KETCHAM by whose side he
had sat in the House, and whose repute as
a legislative jobber he knew well
The Republican Senators were deter
mined TO put the resolution through. right
or wrong. Their friends, and perhaps
some OF the Senators themselves, were in
terested In the bonds: some parties had
speculnted largely for rise; and 10 depre-
ciate the bonds by adverse legislation
would be to deplete the expected profits OF
Ring that would contribute largely to
the coming elections In New Hampshire
and Connecticut. SO the fifteen millions
were driven through under turn of the
party screw.
1t was contended by Mr.. MoRroN and
other Republican Senators, that the three
Commissioners of the District, who really
constitute the executive Government,
with plenary powers, were not RESPONSE
BILE FOR the issue of the 3.G5 bonds at all,
because subordinate Board of Audit was
the ministerial agent for examining the
claims and giving the certificates of in
debtedness that were convertible into
bonds.
This same sort OF trlckery was employed
to shift responsibility in the Territorial
Government, between the Board OF Public
Works and the executive authority, so rs
TO have two separate and distinct sets of
functionaries In one Territory. That tech
meal distinction cost the public Treasury
many millions Of dollars; and the present
commission, created TO overthrow that
Ubiquitous system, Is now following in it's
footsteps in this rs in every other respect.
After the Senate had sanctioned the out
rngeous issues, the Commissioners gave
fiat contradiction TO the statements OF
MORTON and his associates by ordering
" that the Engineer forthwith suspend all
work Of every kind being done under con-
tracts for which payments are stipulated
to be made in 3.G5 bonds, so called, or in
certificates OF the Boarl OF Audit converti-
BILE into such 3.65 bonds" So they had the
authority to stop the bonds, which was
emphatically and repeatedly denied on the
Republican side Of the Senate. But it was
not exercised until their point was car
ried.
All through the legislation for the Dis
trict of Columbia, from the first day the
Washington Ring was organized until now.
there has been IL systematic process of de-
ception ard underhnnd management
which is little short of positive swindling
by act of Congress. The appropriation
bills, the special laws. and all acts relating
to the debt or the payment of interest, are
characterized 10y this sharp practice. The
power which directs 1t ali is well known,
and the attorneys In Congress cannot help
showing their hands whenever q pinch
comes. They are as well marked now as
Boss SuEPuERD is.

To render light-wearing fabrics I'M
innammable, It has been proposed that the
materials should be sized with starch con-
tanning ammonia suphate, mixture Of
phosphonc and boracic acid, or In
some eases OF tungstate OF soda. A German
chemist, however, In recent report on the
dressings" OF the various fabrics sent to the
late Vienna Exposition, observes that a consld-
cradle amount Of ignorance appears To prevail
among manufacturers In the selection OF the
substances employed In very many Instances,
he says, the dressing Is not so harmless to the
coors Of the material as 1t is assumed to be (;
neither does the latter gain in reality the requl-
site degree Of fundamentally. His expert
ments have led him to recommend ammonia
alum, and hyposulphite Of soda, all Of which
are inexpensive, as suitable substances for the
purpose.

Sharp Practice at Washington.

The House Of Representatives passed
Joint resolution on the oath of January, 10
provide for the payment of interest upon
the 365 bonds due LIST of February, under
certain limitations. That resolution went
much further than we thought was iusti-
ned, after the official developments show
Ing an enormous increase of debt during
the past year, large part OF which was
created in fragrant violation OF law and by
illegal extension of contracts.
Still II contained the following proviso.
that any further issue of 3.G5 bonds Is
hereby prohibited" This was distinct
notice to the Commissioners and TO all
sthers connected with the District Gov
brnment, by one branch of Congress at
least, that no more bonds should be issued
From that day forward, until new au-
thority was given. Extravaganza and
worse had been charged. and investiga-
don was ordered to examine the truth Of
che allegations.
Instead Of ceasing their operations the
District authorities kept their mill run
ming day and night, and Mr.. CARPENTER,
The new Second Comptroller, exhibited
extraordinary efficiency as a member of
the Board Of Audit, in certifying the
claims and accounts which were passed
by Boss SHEPHERDs former clerks and
tools. 1t came out in the debate in the
Senate, that hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars were issued in these bonds, after the
passage of the joint resolution by the
House, and IN fact while Senators were
discussing the subject of a restriction upon
che aggregate 10 be allowed.
The Commissioners had asked the House
TO name fifteen millions as a limit. and
when that was refused, they went on with
out any authority, and in defiance of the
expressed will of the popular branch, TO
run up the issues TO that amount, relying
on the Republican majority OF the Senate
20 sustain their high-handed proceeding
They had Mr.. SHERMAN, whose nephew is
partner with FRED GRANT in the bank
ipg business Mt Washington, Mr.. SARGENT,
who represents Boss SHEPHERD IN more
senses than one, and Mr. MORTON, to de-
fend their case and TO insist upon the re-
sponsibilty OF the Government for these
bonds 10 the full figure or fifteen millions.
Mr.. EATON, Mr.. BAYARD, Mr.. KEENAN,.
and other Democratic Senators, exposed
this misconduct, and demanded, as THE
Bun has done repeatedly, that not dime
OF interest should be paid beyond the ad-
United obligation OF the United State0,

The nrst important act OF the present
House of Representatives was TO pass, on
Dec. 1b the following resolution, offered
by Mr.. HOLMAN Of Indiana:
R,,or,d That in the Judgment Of this House in the
PRESENT condition Of ths financial sans " the Govern
,orSemsP p or g pledge Of hs puzzle crcat should b.
oy oonGfes TO associations or co porstons en-
erprises aud tnat All spproprstions from the pub
public service"
This resolution was adopted by the vote.
almost unanimous, of 223 members in the
Affirmative and only SO in the negative.
or these SO members, Il were Democrats
and II Republicans. Thus there voted I'm
favor of this resolution a sufficient proper
tion of the Democratic majority of the
House 10 outvote in any future question
of subsidy the whole Republican minority,
strengthened by the entire body OF the
pro-subsidy Democrats who gave their
puffrages against Mr.. HoLNAN's resolution.
This was the principle established by the
Democratic majority OF the House and yet
when the question was raised of granting
asubsidy OF million and half In money
90 the corporation engaged in getting up
the Centennial Exhibition in Pbiladelphia
this majority Of the House turned around,
In contempt OF its own declaration, and
voted In favor Of that subsidy.
In the same spirit, the question Of n
credit subsidy to the Southern Pacific Rail
road has just been treated. sub-com-
mittee OF the House, headed by Mr. La
MAR. its most conspicuous Democratic
member, have voted in favor OF granting
such subsidy. Tho question has now TO
he passed upon by the fun committee, con-
risting of eight Democrats and five Repub-
hcans-a committee. too, il must be re-
mem bered, selected with the greatest care
by Mr.. Speaker KERR, the chosen Demo
cratic head of the House. II this full
committee should likewise determine In
favor of the subsidy, the question will
BE- brought before the House. and then we
shall see how the great Democratic party
will stand toward il, and how the gentle
men who with such singular promptness
gave their voices in favor of Mr.. HoLMAN's
resolution, will stand toward the proposal
10 fly In the face of that resolution, and to
do on the largest scale aud under the most
mspicious circumstances the very thing
which they then pledged themselves not
TO do.
The last House of Representatives
having Republican majority, passed
resolution similar to that of HOLMAN, and
Eaveit emphasis by a subsequent refusal
sven 10 suspend the rules in order 70 give a
bearing 10 q hill granting a subsidy to this
same Pacific Railroad. If the Democratic
party, Notwithstanding the precedent thus
set them by their antagonists, should dis
honor their own pledge, and take up this
eorruptand discarded policy of substituting
. rniroad, they may rs well omit the idle
ceremony OF making nominations for the
election OF next November. We can tell
them that the people will have nothing
to do with party which holds open the
doors Of the Treasury for such a stupen-
dous grab. The Republicans learned the
lesson in 1874; the Democrats, II they pro-
woke it, will learn the same lesson in 1876.
