There is no avocation 10 life that requires
more prudence and discretion than that of
editing newspaper, for everything that is
printed, no matter how ridiculous, is sure to be
believed by some one, and to produce an effect
of some kind. During the late riots Wash
ipgton correspondent sent US telegram stating
that 'the hands on tho Washington and Ohio
railroad had struck. and that Receiver Nc
Kcnzie had called on the President for
the Marine Band" 1t was printed along
with tho other riot news, but with exclamation
marks, 80 that even the unobservant reader
might see the joke; but next day We heard that
a lady in the upper part Of the city, as soon as
she read it, remarked that "Mr. Mckenzie was
wise as we'll as good man, for he knew that
music soothed excited people, and he did not
want to resort to harsh means"

WASHINGTON, February 8.-The case
of the United States against ex Secretary
Belknap was dismissed to-day ON the
motion of the District Attorney who did
it at the direction of the Attorney, Gen
eral, who, in turn, was directed by the
President, who indorses report by the
District attorney as follows:
In view with the within statement Of
the District Attorney Of the District of
Columbia to the effect that he believed
a conviction improbable. and in view of
the long suffering of the accused and the
great expense to which he has already
been subjected, think the District At
torney should be directed TO dismiss the
suit. N- u. s. Grant.
This end of the case is generally re-
garded as about the proper thing to do,
considering the notorious character of
Juries here and the failure to prosecute
with any degree Of skill of the cases in
which prominent officials are defendant
or are interested. The disagreeingljuries
in the safe-burglary cases, and the bnng.
ling Indictment against Ottman, the
Treasury robber. are but samples of the
| the sort of work in the Washington
criminals courts during the Grant ad.
