WHAT WAS FORGOTTEN.

The consequences that would ensue 10
the country by putting into the once OF
President man with title manlliactnr-
ed as MIR. Hayes title has been, were left
entirely out of view by the men who COLI
structed that title. They proceeded upon
the assumption that no matter what might
be the materials out of which they fash
ioned it, the people of the United States
are such lovers Of peace, and have. so
much at stake in public order, that they
would acquiesce in any result rather than
have sanguinary contest for the possess
sion of the Executive office.
This calculation, short-sighted and des-
perate, left out of view the enormous in
jury to the feelings of men that must be
produced by requiring submission to that
which could not be regarded as anything
but great public wrong. If left out OF
view all that infinite mischief which was
to ensue from violent, unwarrantable,
indefensble construction of constitution
al provisions construction of which
has made the electoral colleges mere ma
chimes for defeating the popular Will, has
gone far to work out their destruction.
1t lett out Of view the spectacle of a
President coming in contact with peo-
pie who cannot see him without seeing
what is stamped upon his brow, the in
dellible marks of fraudulent title; and,
finally, it left out of view the spectacle Of
party maintaining that it had chosen a
President through the electoral votes of a
State in which the same tampering with
the popular votes had aimed to appoint
and is confessed not to have appointed, q
Governor.
For all these and a thousand Other
consequences of making President a:
Mr.. Hayes has been made, no man who
is entitled to be regarded as representa-
tive of that majority whose votes were
given to his opponent is in any way re
sponsible ; and no man who is entitled t.
be regarded as a representative of tina
majority, or is in sympathy with it,, cal
by any act allow it to be supposed tina

MIR. Frederick Douglass SAYS his speech

MIR. Frederick Douglass says his speech
was incorrectly reported. Whatsoever of
incorrectness there was was lenent and
in his favor. The american slightly soft
eued down the vulgarity and indecency
of his language, but left enough to justify
the heartiest Indignation in Washington.
The sun and Gdzettereported his remarks
just as he made them. Mr.. Frederick
Douglass further says that his remarks
about Washington society were "humor-
ous." These ideas of humor do not be-
come public officer. 1t is not easy to
see where the laugh comes in when a
marshal of District calls the people of
that District ''thieves," "poor white
trash" and other humorous epithets
The only people disposed to laugh at this
humor wss the audience of negroes at
the Douglass Institute. The citizens of
Washington think the joke so very poor
that they regard it with feelings quite the
reverse Of hilarity. On the whole, Mr..
Douglass apology, if such it can be call
ed, dosen't help the matter at all ,-Balti-

spent $500, 900 in medals. He gave magnificent
entertainments ia Meendo aud Arequipa and
chartered the steamship Panama to bring 900
guests from Lima. President Balta attended the
fele in Arequps with military escort of l 900
men. Meiggs lived in Lima in a house two sto-
ries high, the lower floor of which was occupied
by stores, while the upper floor contained 20
rooms fitted up in regal STYLE He was always
prepared for guests at dinner, and naval officers
frequently went from Callao to Lima to dine with
him. Meggs improved the City of Lima by tear
ing down the old wall and laying out beautiful
park on its site
For this work he was granted much valuable
land by the Government. Meiggs has been &C
cused of bribing public officers in Peru to assist
him IN his schemes. 10 the construction OF RAN
roads he employ ed the natives, and they worked
well under his Superintendent. Although be was
a man devoid OF principle, his memory Is reSereu
by the poor wherever he has lived. HIS money
flowed freely for the cause of charity, and before
he left San Francisco in disgrace he managed 70
pay all OF his poorer creditors. Yet he was to the
last INSCRIPTIONS; for when last year the news
reached Lima that Peruvian bonds had iaiIeh
to the lowest figure ia London, he obtained by
bribery, 1t is alleged, contract to continue lne
Oroya Road over the Andes, and to drain the Ia
nous mines of Cerro de Pasco. New paper was
issued on this contract, which was guaranteed,
and Meiggs caused It to be understood that ne hau
secured financial support in New York and Lon
don. He then began to draw bllls on ms ofother
in London at 80 DAYS, which were accepted on ex-
change, and confidence was once more felt IN
Meiggs, until it became known that the drafts
made ON his brother were not paid at sight. lie
made one more attempt TO regain his foothold, but
his specuations had injured the credit OF Peru,
the paper olsr, or sol, having fallen in value
from 80 36 cents and at this time his health be-
gan to give way rapidly. There are said to be
many contestants to his WILL but is not likely that
the successful ones will gain much. Meiggs was
man of imposing presence, and was mathema-
tcian Of wonderful SIX i'll and quickness.

The record of bankruptcies in the United
States for the three months expired Sept.
80, shows gratifying decrease both in
number and amount as compared with the
corresponding period of last year. In
number the decrease lacks but one of be-
ing twenty-five per cent. and in the ag-
gregate of liabilities the reduction is five
aud a half millions of dollars, o: nearly
twelve per cent. During the year ending
September 80, 1876, the aggregate liabli-
ties of all bankrupts in the United States
amounted to 1927, l61 $50. During the
year ended September 80. 1877, the
amount was only Sl76.7 97, l59. The re-
duction was, therefore, more than 80 mill
lion dollars, or about twenty-five per cent.

1t has long been an open secret, says the
New York Times, that Wade Hampton,
of South Carolina, would not object to
representing that State in the national
Senate. He is tired of the Gubernatorial
duties which he assumed when the legal
Neglected chief magistrate was driven
from the Capitol, and he is shrewd enough
to know that the difference between his
promises of reform and the actual condi-
ton of affairs in South Carolina cannot
much longer be concealed from the coun-
try. For these and other similar reasons
he would like to change his residence from
Columbia to Washington, and to facilitate
that change his dearest desire at this time
is to have the seat of Senator John j.
Patterson made vacant. In short there is
no doubt that the ambition Of Gen. Hamp-
ton is at the bottom of the prosecution of
Patterson.

England having once determined to give her
young children at least an elementary education,
set about the gigantic task vigorously, and within
six years the greatest of her cities has been al
most supplied with sufficient school room for every
child that lives in it, In 1871 London contained
574.693 children in need of elementary education,
and only 262 2j9 places in schools for them. The
amount of accommodation has been nearly
doubled. The voluntary schools now have room
for 2S4 IA while the School Board schools exist
ing, or planned, have room for 220,5i9 more.
There has been great Improvement in punctuali-
ty Of attendance. Two years ago, one child in
l42 came TO school too late; in 1877, only one
child in 3l5 has come too late. Every gang of
young thieves known to the police has been broken
up and its members compelled to 60 to school.
In the year 1876, $4,000 children were sent to
school in obedience to 300 600 cautions given the
parents.
