Editorial Correspondence of the Waco (Texas)
In another signal instance recently has the
President placed himself between the country
and danger. A House committee had declared
fits right to lay hands on the papers Of the De-
partments, and had made demand in accord
ance with this declaration. The President de-
cided that he could not permit this; that copies
of papers could be furnished, but the House
could not be permitted to carry away the
original papers and archives of the Govern
ment. It is the opinion of not a few that there
was more method than admitted in the mad
ness of this request Of the House for the
papers of the Government. Grant such q re-
quest, and the heads of Departments, Cabinet
officers, and even the President himself might
soon find themselves without the evidence
wherewith they could make settlement with the
country; grant the request, and all evidence of
the conduct of Floyd, Jake Thompson and
men of their like at the breaking out of the
war, and the conduct of men during the war,
might soon come up missing; grant the re-
quest, and the Confederate House might cap
ture the Government by a much easier method
than at the cannon's mouth, as they proposed
during the war. The House as yet has made
no reply TO the decision of the President, and
it is not thought 1t will care to raise much
noise over the issue.

THE beneficial result OF open investiga-
tions by the House committees has been
illustrated by the proceedingsin the Insane
Asylum Investigation. At one time, when
the adverse testimony reached its culmi-
mating point, public opinion was directed
very strongly against DR.. Nichols; but since
then, the evidence for the defense having
been made public, tardy justice is rendered
to deserving official, and the popular ver-
dict is in the Doctors favor.

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT.

nian last night when he heard of Don Came
ron's nomination for Secretary of War, ''that
looks as though the Republican party intend s
to stand by its big guns"
The proposed transfer of the Indian bureau
to the War Department will virtually destroy
the peace policy OF President Grant which has
so long been admired by even the most bitter
foes Of tie Administration. The transfer is
what the Democracy desire. They have hated
everything that added dignity to the Admins
tration and endeared it to the people, and In
the humane system of Indian treatment
adopted by the President they find one of the
strongest policy features created during his
term of office, and consequently desire to de-
stroy it, If possible. The Senate will proba-
bly, see that their wishes are not gratifed.
Fitzhugh is no longer a bigger man than the
President. He has gone. The Democratic
party could stand his Kentucky and Texas
crimes, but not his weak grammar, and they
sent him-sent him plunging headlong from
his great eminence down to smaller man
than the President, even to the sphere of pri-
vate citizenship, with no visible means of sup
port. At the charges of arson and perjury the
Democracy smiled, but when the unfortunate
man committed the unpardonable sin of SPELL
ing "my" with an '"they raised their flip
