No. l teachers receive from so to SSa

At the last State election Barbour coun.

accounts for the milk in the cocoanut.

This was emphatic language; but
think the action of Barbour county in

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

1t is, to say the least, extremely doubt
full whether Mr.. MEAp's design for the
completion Of the WASHINGTON monument
is such as would be approved by the judg-
ment of persons Of cultivated taste in art
matters. The responsibility of approving is
certainly grave one, inasmuch as if it
should be condemned by the judgment Of
intelligent art critics it would remain a
perpetual reproach to the Administration
which sanctioned its erection.
We think, therefore, that II would be
safer to fall back upon the original design
and complete it after having strengthened
the foundation as proposed. The small
contributions Of many thousands of people
have aided in carrying the monument to
its present height. Their contributions
were made with the understanding that
the monument would be built according to
the plan exhibited to them, and good faith
to the numerous contributors, both living
and dead, demands that the original plan
should not be abandoned.

THE POPULAR CHARACTER OF THE
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT

Notwithstanding the lessons OF the past
sixteen years the popular character of the
General Government is not sufficiently un-
derstood. There are those who, in speak
ing Of 1t, use the terms Capitalization, im-
perialism and consolidation in such q
vague and indefinite manner as TO imply
that 1t il In some mysterious way hostile to
the rights and liberties of the people. Any
such view Of the subject is grossly erro-
neous and founded upon total misappre-
hens!on of the spirit and philosophy of our
Government.
The National Government Is equally
with the State governments creature Of
the popular will. II is in no sense a for
eign, external authority, independent OF
the people. However extended or re-
stricied It's powers may be it is no more or
no less than what the people wish 1t to hr.
The truly Democratic character Of the Ma
tional Government was ably and explicitly
set forth by the Fedsralist, rs will appear
from tho following extract:

MR. MOORES LETTER.

After having remained silent for nearly
Q month, during which period he has pa
tiently borne more than the average guam
tity of Misrepresentation and abuse, ex-
Special Agent MOORE has at last spoken.
In his letter to the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, which VIC publish this morning, Mr..
MOORE makes some very pointed and
serious charges against certain Treasury
officials, in which he includes Gen. BoYNToN,
the well-known correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette,
Mr.. MOORE states that whilst uuearthing
the stupendous rascalities Of the Norfolk
custom-house his enemies took advantage
against him and effect his removal froui
Office. Mr.. MOORE boldly accuses Mr.,
SrURrEvAST, the present head Of the sta
tionery bureau Of the Treasury aud brother
in-law of Mr.. MooRss successor as chief
special agent with having been an
accessory to the stealing of certain
papers from the files of the Treas.
ury Department, which were placed in the
hands Of Gen. BoYNroN; that Gen. BoYS-
TON frst endeavored to blackmail him with
the stolen papers in question, and falling in
that, used them to Mr.. MOoRE's detriment
with the President. Against Mr.. TISaLE, his
successor rs chief special agent, Mr.. MooRR
makes = very grave charge. He declares
that after having informed Mr.. TINGLE that
he was on his way 70 communicate with
Assistant Secretary McCORNIcK relative to
the Norfolk custom-house, in the irregular
ities Of which Special Agent CHAMBERLAIN
was implicated, Mr. TINGLE earnestly re-
quested him to suppress all the facts
against Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN. From Mr..
Mo0RE's letter we are led to the con-
Clusion that he has been barshly
dealt with, to say the least. II half OF
what he says is snbstantiated, aud Mr.,
MOORE certainly speaks with the boidness
Of man who Is well intrenched behind the
necessary proofs, he has been the
victim ofa bass and foul conspiracy, and we
have no doubt, IL such is the case, the Presi-
dent and Secretary Sherman will sec to it
that fun amends are made to him for the
great wrong that has been done. It IN now
in order for Messrs. SrURrEvAST, TINGLE,
CHAMBERLAIN and General BOYSToN to ex-
plain.

THE FUTURE OF WASHINGTON.

Many years ago by wise forethought an
act was passed by the Legislature of the
State Of New York authorizing the authori-
ties of the city Of New York to plat the
whole of Manhattan Island 80 that all inn
proyemcnts might he made with reference
to the streets which 1t was toreseen would
be required by the future growth Of the
city. This wise action secured regularity
OF system in the plan of the upper part OF
the city, which would have been impossible
had matters been allowed to go on in %
haphazard way.
The city Of Washington WIS fortunately
laid out upon magnificent plan, which Sc
cured such unity and beauty in its design
as win ultimately render il the most splen-
did capital on the globe. The city is al
ready beginning to spread beyond its limits
as planned by L1NFANT. No time should
be lost, therefore, in extending the plat of
the city so as to include all the territory
within the District of Columbia. This
should be done in order that no valuable
improvements may be made within the
District which might interfere with the
extends beyond its present limits.
1t Is, Of course, very important that all
future additions TO the city should be in
harmony with the original plan and it is
equally important that large reservations
should he made for parks, in addition to the
splendid grounds Of the Soldiers Home
For example, there should be park laid
out 50 as to include all of Rock creek
which is within the District. All buildings
should be removed from its banks US faI
down as the P-street bridge, at least, and
the stream restored to its native condition
Its dells would afford the dwellers in the
National Capital such cool and shady re.
sorts as no other city can boast Of We urge
upon our citizens to consider this subject in
time, in order that the necessary Legislation
may be procured ut the next session OF
Congress for carrying this design into effect

From the Cincinnati Gazette:

Five or ten years ago the House Of Repre-

We have upon more than one occasion In

next, the downfall OF Randall was sealed, and his
prospects for the speakership Of the next House,
blighted and withered. Subsequent events have
proven that views were correct for day by day
his chances have weakened and now, It may be
confidently asserted that hts ambition will receive
q crushing overthrow, and he not attain the much
desired Speakership,
