CONSISTENCY is not characteristic of the
New York Tribune. After having opposed
the Third Term on the ground that the
unwritten law of the nation permits of
only two terms, it now advocates that
ch.talked.of project in the following
very plain language:
''There's no law, written or unwritten, to
hinder any State from cherlshing the hope that
the highest offices in the nation may be filled
by her faVorite sons"
The Young Man OF the Powerful Mind,
Tall Tower, Velvet Coat and Lying-in
Asylum should be more careful in the
supervision of his editorials. Perhaps sc.
H. B. s" story of Whitelaw absence from
the Tribune Office may account for this
glaring oversight. That story, as printed
in last Sundays Herald, was as follows:
"a report is generally circulated in sewing
circles, class-mcttings and cheap clubs that
Whitelaw Reid has been sent to the Lying-in
asylum 10y his fast friend, ex-senator Sprague.

MISSISSIPPI IN THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION
29l,12j o5

The power of contrast was never more
strikingly illustrated than in the speech Of
Senator Morton yesterday, in which he
gave the history of the State of Mississippi
during three Of its eventful periods That
is, the first period before the war, the
second Immediately after the war, when
the Confederates controlled the State, and
the third period being during the years of
Republican control. 1t was shown that
the history of Mississippi during the first
period and before the war was history of
fraud, robbery and reputation. The list
of State and county defaulters, as presented
to the Senate, counted by the dozens. I'm
mediately after the war we have the same
disgraceful record. Confederate rule was
marked by the same spirit of plumber of
others which had made the State dis
grace to the American name before the
war. The burden Of taxation was thrown
upon labor, while jobbery and levee con-
tracts filled the pockets Of those who are
now talking so loudly in regard to ''politi-
cal purity" When the Senator came to
deal with the history of the State under
Republican rule it was shown that taxa
ton was lessened, the credit of the State
improved. schools multiplied and all the
forces of progressive civilization set in

DISTRICT POLITICS.

After the act of Congress abolishing the
Territorial government for the District of
Columbia, and the consequent abrogation
of the elective franchise, the necessity for
a general Republican organization in the
District was supposed 10 be a thing of the
past, and, accepting the new dispensation,
the politicians ceased TO banker after ward
meetings, and the political caIdron conse-
quently ceased to boil. That there was no
necessity for the old constant excitement
caused by political contests without the
right of franchise is selfevident fact, but
that some association, known to be Repub-
lican, and recognized as aa authority,
should have remained in existence, is ap-
parent today. Under the rules of the
National Republican Committee, the Dis
trict of Columbia, even under its present
form of government, is entitled to two
votes in the National Nominating Conven-
ton, and we should sse to it that fair and
honest representatives of the Republican
sentiment of the capital should be chosen
for that occasion. These remarks are
suggested by the course pursued by the
well-known A. NJ. Green, who has, with
his usual ofliciousness, during the past few
days issued call, as chairman of the Cen
tral Republican Committee of the District,
and held under said call slimly attended
meeting, at which reputed platform of
principles was adopted and promulgated
through the columns of the Democratic
paper of this city as expressing the views
of the Republican party of Washington.
1t is about time that q Quietus was put on
this would-bc leader and his handful of
hangers, on. If there be Republican
Central Committee in the District it is the
one which was organized in May. 1873, of
which Mr.. Joseph Williams was president
and Mr.. J. T. Settle secretary, and on
these gentlemen, if on any one, devolves
the duty of calling for such action on the
part of our Republican voters as will insure
them fair representation at the National
Convention. If the gentlemen named de.
cline to assume the responsibility, the next
fairest suggestion would be for the dele
gates in the last Legislative Assembly of
the Republican districts and the defeated
Republican candidates in the Democratic
districts to hold a meeting at an early day,
and decide upon some general plan of
holding district meetings or primary elec.
tions simultaneously for the election of
delegates TO the convention. This would
settle the matter, and the initial steps

THE amended report of Representative

He says:
Benjamin II. Hills printed speech has
been compared with full transcript of the
text Of the speech as it was actually deliv-
cred. The changes and notifications are most
extraordinary and unprecedented. Mr.. Hill
has been guilty of the unparliamentary con-
duct Of entirely suppressing an important col
loquy with Mr.. Hale, of Maine, upon the fugi-
tive slave law. Mr.. Hale's remarks are en-
tirely eliminated from the printed speech,
which is gross violation of the rules of the
House. Some of the Republicans talk of
raising question Of privilege, that Mr.. Hills
speech as spoken must befprinted, and that he
cannot strike from the Record the speeches Of
