About RrtsfOw.

Gen. Comfy, OF the Ohio STATE J0I9TiHi, gives
IL as the result of observations which have
been a. candid aud impartial as the imper-
feet nature OF a man and postmaster will
sllow" that here in Washington the public
sentiment seems TO have settled pretty unan-
fmousIy on Bristow as the republican candi-
date for the Presidency; that sentiment
pointing 10 the necessity for nominating
some candidate who has in some manner at
ITacted public attention TO himself as the
antithesis OF Belknappery. At the same
time he has not found any one rash enough
10 predict that Bristow can surely carry the
convention; and IL he does not carry IT, Gen.
Comfy says Hayes is the man named by
three persons TO every two as the probable
candidate. We suspect that the General
must circulate among Ohio people in Wash
ingtO1 when he finds this hankering for
Hayes. Aside from OhiOans we hear very
few naming Hayes for the first place. though
he is now and then spoken of as pretty good
timber for a candidate for the Vice PresI-
dency. The suggestion that Bristow, how
ever much mentioned now. may fail in the
convention has probabilit The truth is
that the talk for Bristow is a good deal like
that in the past for Chief Justice Chase,
Judge Davis, and Charles Francis Adams
IT is sort Of sentimental talk, that seems to
mean something, but those who take any
stock in it usually find their visions rudely
dispelled when the amount of strength il
really represents Is put to the test in the
rough waters Of nominating convention.
Every body admits that Mr.. Bristow would
be an unexceptionable candidate, j1st as il
was admitted by everybody that Messrs.
Adams, Chase, and Davis would do entire
honor to the position, but we fail to see any
evidence that there is any active, energetic
he Ri
ment-' OF course IL is not impossible that
'the boys who run the machine" may yet
take him up, but there is no present evidence
that they are even looking In his direction.
In the mean time the veteran party mana
fcrs in the various states are engineering
lie election OF delegates to Cincinnati
pledged openly or secretly to certain candi-
dates for the Presidency, aud when all the
delegates are elected we suspect that Mr.
BTistow's positive working strength in the
convention wilt be quite infinitesimal.

A bill was introduced In the House last
evening which proposes TO tx the price for
publishing legal notices in the District OF
Columbia IT a rate far below that charged
by any paper with regular circulation for
the cheapest form Of advertising, viz:
"Wants," etc, and which would not be re-
munerative In any case. Why some pro-
found statesman does not also offer q bill
fixing all lawyers fees at the same rate, ire
kpectiye OF the value Of the services to be
rendered, and likewise compelling manufac-
1urers and merchants to sell yard of double
width cloth for the same price charged for q
yard Of single width, Is what we cannot I'M
derstand. Such bill would be exactly on a
par with the proposed legislation In regard
40 legal advertising.

RI must be evident 10 those who watch
The progress OF events in Congress that the
appropriation committees OF the body con-
finually exercise very doubtful powers In
arrogatiDg to themselves functions which
properly belong to other committees. In the
case OF the consular and diplomatic appro-
priatlon Dill for instance. the House appro-
priation committee has taken the RESPONSE
bIlity Of reducing the compensation of most
of our representatives abroad, and in some
Instances OF virtually abolishing certain
missions, thus reversing the whole theory
upon which the business OF Congress II con-
Quoted. Several Senators, notably Mr.. Nor
Ton, have pointed out the vicious tendency
OF such legislation. Congressional commit
ices are raised for certain specific purposes.
Matters Of a commercial character go to the
Committee on Commerce for consideration
and report. Subjects affecting our relations
with foreign countries are referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, &C., the
theory being that each OF these committees
gives careful consideration 10 all matters
coming within its purview, and is therefore
better qualified TO make recommendations
As TO legislation on those particular matters
Than those who have not made them a
special study. By striking out the salary
for instance, OF a eonsulship In Japan, the
Appropriations Committee virtually abol-
1shes the office, provided their recommended
fiOn is concurred in. This, as Mr. Morton
plainly showed, is usurping the functions OF
The Committees on Commerce and Foreign
Affairs, which should determine as to the
necessity for the abolition of the consulship
In question. Again, should the Appropria-
lion Committee OF either House reduce the
salaries OF judges, they would be exercising
The legitimate functions OF the Committee
On the Judiciary. Mr.. Morton, therefore,
concludes that the safest plan is TO let the
Committee on Appropriations confine itself
10 those appropriations which the law re-
quires. otherwise ID must be taken for grant
I'D that 1t possesses as much capacity as all
The other committees put together.

General Custer has refreshingly straight
forward way of giving his testimony on the
witness stand. He makes no flank move
ments. but bears down directly upon facts
rs he understands them. His statements in
regard TO frauds on the Indians and the gov
ernment simply confirm the popular belief
OF the rottenness OF the Indian service under
Delsno and the Rev. Smith, and strengthen
The conviction that that service would be
more faithfully performed by the military
arm OF the government.

After an inglorious reign, Governor Ames,
OF Mississippi, throws up the sponge and re-
tires with his carpet-bag, much to the relief
OF the respectable people of the state. Like
Belknap, he goes out under fire, but, more
fortunate than the former, escapes impeach-
ment. The respectable aud Intelligent ele-
ment there now have the state under
their control. If they exercise moderation in
their administration Of affairs, and deny no

pIexion, his rights as an American citizen,

and that time no. far back, expected,
but instead Of one We have y troop. The last
was through the medium OF Is correspondent o!

correspondent suggested to him that several
newspapers had spoken oil the advisa.
bility Of cIectiug him 10 the Senate 10 the place
of General Logan, 50 that he might be made
President pro tem. o.! the Senate, and continue
10 the White House II there should be an int
rim before the inauguration of Hayes. To this
suggestion he replied in the following language
"My old friend Houghton, of Galena, sug.
gested my name for United STATES Senator
from Illinois, and The suggestion was copied
approviogly into one of the Chicago papers.
When | saw this article | immediately wrote
TO my friends ia Illinois that / could not be a

First. Although | consider myself a citizen
of Illinois, ard 20. & citizen OF any other State
or any Territory, yet | do not consider that

that, be was oGc Of the bravest and most infu-

ought to remember that when the war broke
out Logan was q democratic Representative in

majority. II lie had been u copperhead, as
many Of his political associates became, he
could have thrown distractions 10 the
way of raising Union troops in southern Hi
nois that could hardly be estimated. Instead
Of this, he was prompt, ~teerles, and unainching
