How to Conduct Investigations.

There is very great and very proper dis
satisfaction at the recent decision OF the
subcommittee of the Judiciary, who are
charged with the investigation of the
BLAINE bond matter. That committee
consists of Mr.. HUNToN of Virginia. Mr.
LAWRENCE Of Ohio, and Mr.. AsHE of North
Carolina. Mr.. AsHE was not present when
the question which provokes criticism was
decided, and therefore Is not responsible
for II.
1t Will be remembered that Col. THOMAS A.
sooTT testified that he bought the Arkansas
bouds from JOSIAH CALDWELL of Boston,
and paid for them an exorbitant price, far
beyond any value then recognized in mar
ket SCOTT practically appeared as a wit
ness for BLAINE, and he introduced CALD-
WELLS name. CALDWELL is in Europe,
and is believed to be kept there by parties
connected with the Little Rock and Fort
Smith bonds.
JOHN MCCLURE of Arkansas appeared
as witness, and when asked If he
knew anything regarding the seventy five
bonds upon whicn the Union Pacific had
advanced SG4, 900. he answered" No, except
what JOSIAH CALDWELL told me-" He was
about proceeding to explain, when Mr..
BLAINE suddenly interposed aud objected
TO going beyond the strictest letter OF the
resolution, with his own construction upon
1t. In other words, when the bottom facts
were about 10 be disclosed and the mys-
terry Of this transaction cleared up, Mr..
BLAINE, taking BEECuER for precedent,
shut down the gates and refused TO admit
any one who might be able to put the
committee on the track. That was his way
OF confronting full and searching in
curry, such AZ he had professed TO desire.
For reasons best known to themselves, Mr..
HUNroE and Mr.. LAWRENCE sustained This
extraordinary position, and excluded the
testimony on the ground that 1t was hear
ray
Now, that was good secondary testimony
under strict Interpretation. and ought TO
nave been received If the committee meant

No other Democrat yet mentioned MS
Presidential nominee has got such send
on ns ex-Gov. JOEL PARKER had yesterday
from the New Jersey Democratic Conven-
ton at Trenton. The voice of the Con-
vcntion was unanimous in his recommen-
dntion, and the fervor displayed in his be-
half was something remarkable, even for
New Jersey. The entire body of delegates
had been elected on the strength OF his
name, and no man had any chance of be-
ing sent to the Convention who was not
pledged to sustain JOEL PARKER. There
is no doubt Of his being the favorite son of
New Jersey, so far us the Democratic sem
timent OF the State is concerned.
TILDrN Is not sustained In New York.
HENDRIcKs is not sustained in Indiana,
nor ALLEN in Ohio. nor BAYARD III Della
ware, ms PARKER has been in New Jersey.
The Convention that nominated PARKER
was sound on the financial question. and
went for reform; but its proceedings were
almost exclusively personal In their nature.
Well. JOEL PARKER Is n hearty embodi-
ment of the excellent qualities that belong
TO our enlightened and patriotic fellow
citizens of New Jersey. He comes from
ancient md solid Jersey stock, and was
born in the fine old county of Monmouth
hard by the sounding sea.

the Doulton ware are TO be seen at every step.
The finer kinds OF procelaln are represented
in several very precious collections. There is,
for instance. a set OF fnely-decorated Greek
vases. modelled from specimens III the British
Museum, and superior to anything that was ever
seen OF the same kind Messrs. Daniel Son are
the exhibitors OF the best OF these collections.
Stafordshire pottery is also admirably repre-
sented, and the display Of tiles OF all kinds Is
immense The American exhibits Of this branch
look by the side Of the English like so many
pieces OF miserable crockery about to DO de-
spatcbed to n country fair.
In the furniture limo Shoolbred & Co., Wright
& Mansfield, Cox & Sons. and several other cele-
brated London firms have sent out the finest
specimens Of every STYLE There are whole rooms
fitted out with admirable effect. The richness,
solidity, and exquisite taste OF every Of
tho pieces OF artistic furniture are unpar-
alleled. Compared with them tho exhibits
OF American furniture appear as a heteroRen-
eous collection OF snowy parlor and dining
room sets ordered by mock auctioneer, OF a
Western upstart about to marry and NJ out
his residence. The want OF taste Ia par
ticuarly striking In the upholstery Of the Amer
lean furniture compared with the English.
American glassware is, OF course, Inferior to
that Of most of the European countries, and It
~ accordingly not surprlslnR 10 hnu tnat tn's
country Is also far behind in crystal ware aud
articles OF Gu: glass. James Green Nephew Of
London make an exhibit OF glass chandeliers,
which suggest that this country will have TO
send money for articles OF this kind across the
ocean for many years to come.
But II we except these branches OF iu-
dustry, and perhaps few particular kinds
Of cutlery and certain varieties of
textile fabrics, shall ind that there
is hardly anything else In which the Brit
lsh competition can present any serious danger.
The Exhibition shows beyond any possible
DOUBT that the industry Of the United States Is
progressing not by steps, but by strides that In
several most important branches America
equals the old country that In one or two she Is
ahead OF her, and that in those in which she Is
behind, experience and the acquisition Of bet
ter decorative taste are all that is wanted.
