DOCTORS WII.H. nISAGREE,
Doctor Metiasl<cy vs.. Doctor
Prent Dollivcr on tIsc Capital
Question.

Doctor Prent Dolliver, not able to
longer repress from the world his
views on the capital question, foun-
ders through two mortal columns of
that honest(?) exponent of public
sentiment, the Post,o last week, seek
ing to enlighten the voters of this
county on the capital question. The
Doctor is rather young, it is true, to
assume to instruct older and wiser
people, but it is q badge of the age
for youthful etirontery to confound
itselfwith wisdom.
The only point in Delivers essay
is that the capital of state cxerts
no peroeptihle influence in opening
up and developing the resources of
locality in which it happens to be To-
Gated, and this is conclusively shown
by reference to Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New York and other states Herein
is the only grain of sense or logic in
this long windcd and otherwise III
rellevent production. With this
brief notice we will permit the Doc
tor, out of consideration of his ox-
IRENE youth and inexperience, to re-
tire on any laurels he may haze IRON
in this csntest.
On he other hand, in this week $
Post, Doctor "Jim" McClaskey, en-
cased in his armor, comes to the front
showing that

CoSGREssIoNAL.-There seems to have been
lively debate in the executive session of
the Senate, over the New York Custom
House nominations. In the course of it
sharp passage at arms took place between
Senators Blaine and Gordon, in regard to the
record of the two parties, the honesty of
their purposes, etc., during which each
Senator remarked that he regretted that it
would not be parliamentary to use such Ian
guage as he desired. Mr.. Blaine said be had
known General Arthur for long time, and
that no more honest and efficient officer is in
the service of the United States, and that his
efficiency had been vouched for by the whole
of New York city. Senator Morrill,, of Yer
mont, took strong ground against the policy
of the President in regard to these appoint
ments, and in favor Of retaining good men
in office when their services were once Sc
cured.
Mr.. Edmunds submitted resolution, on
Wednesday, authorizing the select commit
tee appointed to take into consideration the

States, to also consider and report upon the
best manner of electing those officers, and
the duration of their terms of office.
