THE LADY SAID.

The Lady Said" He was poor young
man and had saved little
by little each week to buy
himsefa coat, and he read
the advertisement of
certain store, with its
wonderful bargains, and
went on Saturday night
but the poor fellow was
fleeced numerically 1t
was an outrage. We have
come to buy him a decent
one and pair OF boots,
and / also want to get
some shoes for myself and
children. My neighbour
having purchased from
you last week, liked her
goods and was astonished
at your low prices
THE GENTLEMAN SAID.
The Gentleman Sai6-"Glad to see you.-
Didn't know of the
place before, but we
have Just started, the
eleventh day of last
month, if you had
come here. Every
body deals safelyhere.
THE LADY SAID.
The Lady Said-"It was the advertisement
that caught him. but he
didn't know anything
about the goods"
THE GENTLEMAN SAID.
The Gentleman Sdid-"The advertisement
is very easy to make,
and many of them
are purposely worded
to catch people. Now
with our House the
advertisement is
small part of the
whole matter. Our
principal point is
that the goods shall
be just as represented
and we try to make
them exceed even the
expectation of our
customers, and as to
prices we are just as
careful as you are to
see that they are not
too high, for it is to
our interest to put
them low"

here last winter, and you
have made n great i'm

but don't wonder, as it is
all the talk up in our

sell so cheap and that your
goods give such great
satisfaction, and that they
cannot deal anywhere else
with such satisfaction,
and it is a relief to get
into place where the

what the customer wants,

After the debate in the House yesterday
upon tho Electoral Commissioners decision
In the Louisiana case, and tho rejection In
that body of the decision by a vote of 172 to
D., the two Houses assembled In joint con-
vention, and the electoral votes of Louisiana
were counted for HAYES. Then the electoral
votes OF tie other States were counted,
without interruption until Michigan was
reached, when objection was made to one of
the electors from that State on the ground
of lneligibilty. The Houses separated and
debated the objection, but both Of them soon
ngreed TO accept the elcctor in question.
The joint convention was then resumed, and
the count Of States once moro proceeded
with till Nevada was reached, when objec-
lion was made to an clector from that state.
Once again the Houses separated, and the
Senate voted to accept the Nevada elector,
but the House, without discussing the case,
took q recess till to-day.

A man who regards II as disreputable to

no just and adequate conception OF consti-

the practice Of the law, in either criminal or
civil causes, may be so conducted as to be
made disreputablc, just as preaching may

EccLEsISE, If his own pastor were to be
falsely accused Of heinous offence, as has
SO often happened to clersymen, would DO
coward enough, If asked, to refuse to defend
him.

the ablest, by common consent, that ever
presided over that body, was convicted, and
imprisoned moro than two years, for an
alleged act under the internal revenue law,

offence, merely because he was not properly
defended, as was afterward conceded by the

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: The
Herdlds Washington correspondence contains
tho following paragraph concerning the mem
bers Of the diplomatic corps accredited In this
country:
Attention having been drawn TO tho absence from the
accredited here, and who persstently reside in New
YORK tits rncre that The secretary STATE Is about
~ call the attention OF their Governments 10 their con.
stan, absence and 70 request INSTRUCTIONS TO the Mns
who will remain At the seat OF Government
II others are appointed. the result will not
he different or better. The heads Of the foreign
legations. whatever may be their merits other
wise. are all gentlemen. and accordingly cannot
live in the atmosphere Of Grantism ut Wash
lngton.
The accusation is, besides. not justified by
facts. Only those representatives OF foreign
powers who have no families are known TO
visit New York more or less frequently. The
English. Russian. and Spanish Ministers. for
instance, have their permanent establishments
ut the national capital. and scarcely ever come
to New York. They don't go. Of course. into
Washington society such rs IL now is, when
they can deeently avoid 1t. But that is not q
proof OF their being guilty Of absenteesm.
The Heaids report Of the accusation brought
against tho diplomatic corps is evidently direct
ed against the Turkish Minister. Aristachi
Bey: the Italian Minister. Baron Blanc; and
the French representative. NJ. de vaugelas; all
Of whom are well known in New York They
go TO Washington MS frequently as their pres
once Is needed. and always leave somebody In
charge Of their legations. Besides. ii. de Vau-
gelus has been the representative Of France but
q short time and temporarily. u. Max Qutrey,

but q few days ago, and II taking rest ut the
Brcvoort House after u long and stormy voy-
age. II applied 10 him, the accusation becomes.
therefore, still more unwarrantcd.
There are good reasons for suspectng that
oil this fuss il made solely because the Grand
Dukes Alexis and Constantine did not call at
Washington and are reported to have eX-
pressed their determination not V put their
foot there ~ long as Grant and Fish are In

rte FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT IND MS
APPOINTMENTS.
Frelinehwysen 10 he Minister TO England
Evarts Secretary of state.


WASHINGTON, Feb 2O.-It Is understood
that Mr.. Freinghuysen is to get the English
mission as "A reward for his patriotic services on
the National Returning Board. He was greatly
instrumental. in connection with the railroad
corporations in having Judge Bradley appoint
cd on the Supreme Court TO decide tho consti-
tutionaity ofthc lcgal-tcnder act. and 10 reverse
a previous decision of the same tribunal. which
would have compelled them TO pay large debts
in gold instead Of currency.
Judge Bradley has become q political power.
His vote made Mr.. Hayes what he is likely to be
ON the 9th Of March. He has the right to make
conditions with the Fraudulent Fl oaidont. and
he will appoint Mr.. Frelinghuysen as successor
TO Pierrepont, unless something better should
turn up. The outgoing Senator would like 10 be
Secretary of State hut as Mr.. Evarts has pre-
emptive claim on that place. he will have to re-
tire his prctensions.
All the counsel. and the illustrious eight Com
missioners, who steadily supported and voted
for the Returning Board frauds, expect to be
considered in the first rink of favor with the
Hayes Administration. Most Of them have
picked out soft places for themselves, or their
families. or their next friends. and they look
forward to a good time during the next four
years at the public expense under the Fraudu-
lent President

OF this magnificent array of securities,
only the cash on hand, and the accounts
and bills receivable, amounting to s2,6ss, 1921,
are available In case Of the companys bank
ruptcy. The stocks and bonds of the vari-
Gus railroads mentioned are, with the ex-
ception Of the Boston, Hartford and Erie
bonds, simply obligations OF the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company itself, and
worth no more than It's own promissory
notes. All the value there is in the Boston,
Hartford and Erie bonds consists In their
availability In payment for the use OF por-
ton Of tho track of the Erie Railway, and
could not be sold for five cents on the dollar.
The company has, therefore, only S26S5,S2
with which to meet debt Of 81, 100000, sure
si,0o0,00O more, within the next six months.
In its balance sheet the directors set down
the cost Of the old and almost useless canal
from the Delaware to the Hudson river as
representing sG,339, 900, and their sixty miles
of local railroad at SO 1876 900. The company's
real estate, coal lands, and similar property
figure for about s1s,0OO,000. That these
values are altogether fanciful it is easy to
see, and the directors indulge In pleasantly
when they say:
III the past record Of the company and its present
position a,ails anything, the above statement should
belief that your cstmcnt possess points of strength
at least equal TO any whose prosperity depends In
measure upon the marketing Of coal"
That is to say the Delaware and Hudson
Is as good as any other coal company.

The Partisan Administration of Crimi-
nal Law.

WILLIAM M. TWEED was confined In Lud-
low street jail upon an order of arrest in a
civil suit. He escaped and fed to Spain.
We had no treaty with Spain for the extra
dition OF fugitives, yet our Government per-
suaded the Spanish Government to surren-
der Mr.. TWEED; and although no prosecu-
ton against him, either criminal or civil,
had ever been instituted in the name OF the
United States, he was brought home In a
man-of-war, at heavy expense to the
Treasury
We have no defence and no excuse TO make
for Mr.. TWEED Let him stand or fall by tho
law and the justice OF his own case. We
have however, something to say about the
contrast between the action OF the national
Administration toward him and toward its
own supporters and friends-not merely
arrested on ciyN process, but convicted and
imprisoned for offences against the laws Of
the United States.
Tho country has just witnessed hardly
less than general Jail delivery, through
the pardoning power, by the President OF
the United States. No longer do his friends
who had grown rich by frauds upon the
revenue, lauguish in Western prisons. The
no guilty man escape, has smiled upon
them, ano now once more they bask In the
sunshine of liberty.
But few days OF official life remain to
our present President, and 1t would be only
consistent for him TO improve his brief op-
portunity by the issue Of n proclamation
extending pardon TO all his numerous friends
and associates who stand charged with high
crimes and msdcmeanors, but have not yet
been brought to trial and conviction. This
would be without a precedent, TO be sure
but then many unprecedented things have
been done under this Administration.
Judging from what we have seen, 1t is but
reasonable 10 conclude that II TWEED had
been GRANT man, and had defrauded the
United States Government out Of millions,
he would have had no occasion to go abroad,
but might now have been at liberty, and en-
joying his spoils ut home
