The majority in the House has thus far
shown little capacity for the responsibilities OF
government but it is beginning at last to
prove that at least it knows something OF
the opportunities Washington affords for lnves-
tigatlon. letter from the capital, elsewhere
printed this morning, gives it a clcw which
we hope to see promptly followed. Why
should Secretary Belknap reject responsible
bids for army transportation in Texas at "a
cents per hundred pounds, where the cheapest
rates he had formerly been able to get were
So 80, and, after rejecting these bids, allow
the transportation to be done by the favored
railroads at extravagant local freight rates
Our correspondent names witnesses, andslndeed
outlines the whole case. IL only remains to he
seen whether the majority is shrewd enough to
follow the case up.

After being little more than year in power
President Varela of Uruguay has resigned,
and, it is supposed, will be succeeded by his
Minister of War, Gen. LatOrre, who is to act
as dictator. Don Pedro Yarela was placed in
office by n faction Of the "Teds" that fOrcibly
depOsed President Ellauri, whom their own
party had elected. Uruguay has been in bad
way of late, and is not likely TO improve under
an irresponsible ruler.

Country newspapers are unable to understand
how it should have made any difference to Gen.
Schenck whether his resignation was known before
he left London not since if diplomatic privilege
protected him while he held the embassadorship it
protected him equally, as everybody knows, while
going to and returning from his post. The explana-
ton il simple. Writs against him already out,
but had not been served because the lawyers raised
doubts whether his was a case iu which diplomatic
privilege did protect If he had publicly resigned,
service would certainly have been risked at once
before he could get out of reach. Even when he
started for home ostensiby on leave Of absence he
found an officer at his heels

Already the indirect effects of Plymouth
Church troubles are becoming manifest In
other quarters. In a remarkable discourse
the Rev. Dr. StOrrs of Brooklyn reviews the
proceedings of the Advisory Council, and de-
clares them not only inefficient so far as the
question of Mr. Beecher's morality is con-
cerned, but incompatible with the canons Oh
the Congregational Church. 1t is even lntl-
mated as possible that DR.. Storrs may 1eei
himself compelled to withdraw from the de-
nominations which would be very curious
result of a movement that originally threat
ened to drive Mfr. Beecher ont of Brooklyn.

The project for the erection of territorial govern
ment in the Indian Territory is of the most out
rageOus jobs that have appeared in Congress for
years. We have repeatedly exposed its true charac
ter as a scheme for enriching two railway companies
by enormous land grants which become available
whenever the Indian titles are extinguished and
saddling the Government besides with a troublesome
claim for indemnity on the part of the tribes whose
lands will thus be taken away The country will
watch the progress of this inexcusable Oklahoma
bill with keen eyes, and hold every man concerned
IN passing it to a strict accountability.

The history of Gen. Schencks retirement is still
further obScured by the following paragraph from
The Daily Nelrs (LOndOnl of Feb. 26: "We are in
formed that Gen. Schenck is not likely to retire
from the Office of Minister of the United States to
this country. The President has not required his
resignation and Gen. Schenek it is said is prepared
to defend his conduct in the matter of the Emma
Mine before both the English courts and the Amer
lean Congress- English newspapers are more eau
tious than ours about personal statements and this
appears to be inspired. Yet the resignation
apparently already in the Presidents hands when
this information was communicated to the London
press, and only a few days later Gen. Schenck was
on his way home and the name of his successor be-
fore the Senate.

The political course of Mr.. George William
Curtis has not always been to our liking, but
its fault has not been that of too out
spoken criticism upon the garinS bhnders
of the Administration. Mr.. CurtisS faults are
never likely to lie in that direction. For just
that, however, the strait-laced Administration
people of Staten Island were trying the other
day at their primaries to keep him from going
to the State Convention. Not long ago he was
good enough to preside over their Convention as
the representative Republican Of the State. Then
independent gudgeOns were to be caught; now,
COnkling delegates arc to be chosen. Differ
ent circumstances call for different men; and
so Mr.. Curtis is not now wanted. We shall
soon see what the real Republicans of Staten
Island have to say about it.

Il was understood that the Prince of Wales
went at State expense TO India, in order that
the revenue from his estates and other
sources OF income might accumulate and
help toward paying his debts. Little more
than this has been gained by the tour which
has Just ended by the Princes departure from
Bombay. The visit has, however, served to
diffise greater information regarding Hindos
tan, and possibly to enlighten the Prince on
the affairs of that vast country.

We have at various times gone out of our way to
give Mr.. Randall's friends chance to sing his
praises. We may now, therefore, with the more
frankness say to Mr.. Randall that he seems to have
recently acquired the uncomfortable habit
of making a fool of himself. People have
not forgotten tho brutal insolence with which
he attempted to put down member from New-York
in recent notable discussion On more than one
similar occasion he has lost his temper and his case
at the same time. On Saturday his manner to
gentleman, who undertook to criticise his back
pay record, was simply that of boor. Mr.. Coxs
unfortunate experience should have been sufficient
to warn off aspiring Democrats from the "hyena'
and "Blaine's pup" line of procedure for whole
session at least butinqusitve members of Congress
and the whole country must understand that, in Mr..
Randalrs judgment, lit is none of anybody's busi-
ness what he thinks about back pay" and that
il does not lie in the power OF any miserable men
to talk about his conscience" Miserable men they
would be- Of course, if they concerned themselves

Both the rivers Seine and Danube have re-
centlv ovcrfowed their banks aud caused
heavy loss. The foods in the latter river have
been felt with great severity at Buda- Pesth,
where several houses have been destroyed, and
blocks OF splendid buildings are still deemed
in great danger The island of Czepel,
situated below Pesth containing five
villages, was entirely submerged, and all
the houses except ten have been swept away.
The enormous loss occasiOned by these floods
should stimulate further inquiry as TO the
means of preventing them. France has led
the way by investigations as to the disasters
caused by the rise of the Garonne. In this era
of international conventions, one might wisely
be convened to compare notes on this subject

the laughing stock Of the country, and was never
anything more than ridiculous old keepsake for
polite members to send to their weaker cOnstitu-
ents, is piece of folly which makes the nation mad
and amused at the same time As it is impossible to
circulate the Report without the frankng privilege,
we may look for the revival of that nuisance before
the end of the session. There to be irst-rate

work By correcting the blunders perpetrated at the

The elegant style of the Chicago reporter is
aptly illustrated in q late number of The Chicago
Tribune. This is the way in which he announces
that he was unable to learn the details of confer
cnce between tho District-Attorney and the local
Tweed Of Chicago "What was concluded upon can
never DO known, as The Tribune reporter who was
invited to be present compelled to decline the
invitation and go to the funeral of his dog" This
which follows though obscure, is certainly fsncful,
if not fOTcible: He not dishonorable in grasp
ing that opportunity by the metaphorical collar Of
its iguratye coat" And the last which We can in
dulge in is forcibe and fanciful, and original too

porters overtures for an interview with the local
Tweed aforesaid were Indignantly rejected "A

runs on an average fifty miles in pipes,
and before it reaches the consumer Is as
warm as dish water. In fact it Is entirely
unit for use. The ice business is in the
hands oftwo companies, and, being thus
placed, it is huge monopoly. To erect
lce-houses on the Hudson, to build de-
pos in the city, to buy thousands of
horses, and to fit up thousands OF wagons
to deliver the ice, requires 50 much
capital that competition is impossible,

THE TILToNS.
The Tiltons are still in trouble. Theo-
dOre has taken the boy Ralph to his
fathers house in New jersey, leaving
Mrs. T. only one of the children, at which
the lady demurs, and will take legal
steps to get possession. Mrs. Tilton is
in close straits to live She has kept
boarders, but falling in that, has been
reduced to the necessity of sewing by
the day. Mr.. Tilton has sent her money
time and again, but she has stubbornly
refused to accept assistance from him in
any form. Tilton has tried to get money
to her by round about ways, so that she
should not know that it came from him
but in every instance she has detected
his good intentions, and returnedit. In
one instance she sent back money that
came from particular. friend of her
mother, for fear that it came from TheO-
dore, and no assertions to the contrary
could make her believe but that he sent
it She is a stubborn little woman, and
will die before she will be under Obliga-
tions to him. The old scandal is very
likely to be revived again. BY the way,
Mr.. Beecher ought to take her to the
White Mountains. She is the only suf-
ferer from the great scandal.
IN POLITICS
l have to report that Tilden is losing
every day, and Hayes and Wheeler are
gaining. The "Reform Democracy
headed by Morrisey and Tweedis old
friends, have shown their hands too soon.
The merchants and solid men have too
painful remembrance of Tweed times,
to put power into their hands again.
New York will give the Republican
ticket majority as certain as fate Make
no mistake about it, the Empire State is
sure for Hayes.
THE MENoNITEs.
Five hundred Menonites arrived list
week and are now on their way to Ne
braska. These emigrants are the best
that comes to the country. They arc an
intelligent hardy people, and are rich.
In this party there was an average of
81 800 in gold per head. They are ex-
cellent farmers, and make first-class
citizens. Over $4,000 more are preparing
to come. The more the better.

Approved May l.. 1875.

THE JEFF. of last week, devotes
ne arly one half of its space to what it
calls a record of Samuel J. Tilden.
The editor knew at the time that all
the matter published was untrue, and
that they had been retailed during his
canvass for Governor of New York,
which resulted in his election by over
$4,000 majority. On our outside we
give the testimony of Republicans
which explodes and gives the lie TO the
tales told in the JEFF. Hunt up some
more ISLANDERS.
That game of lying and brag will
not do. Not single word of what the
Courier publishes has any reference to
what we published. Fact is, that rec
ord cannot be squelched, and Fred
knows it. ne knows further that Til
den, months before his nomination,
was sued to recover money stolen from
the st. Lodis, Alton and Terra Haute
Railroad, has refused to file his an
swer By continually begging time
putting off the evil day, you know.
But hear what August Belmont says
of him:
Those who claim that Tilden is un-
assailable do not know him, or if they
do, then they are quite as dishonest as
he is. He has been counsel for all the
broken-down corporations with which
New York has been afflicted for a long
term of years, and out of them he has
not come with clean hands AUGUST
BELMONT.
On the 5th of June, the Cincinnati
Enquirer said of him:
He is hvpocrite, "a political swim
dier. has long been public plunderer,"
'disreputable candidate, ~ who
sought the nomination ssby methods
so unprecedentedly shameless and dis
reputable that it would be a reproach
upon theAmerican people to elect him"
But perhaps the editor of the Cour-
Ter does not read the Enquirer, or the
New York Erpress. or any other Dem
ocratic paper whose editor knotos Til
den. But these railroad plunderings
are matters of record and can be found
in records of court proceedings.

delay stripped its measures of all such
claim. They have already, by extend
ing the appropriations of last year

propriated by the regular bills, it will
swell the aggregate to as large sum as
that appropriated last year. This is
