LESAON FOR M TIMES.

Here is n story which we recommend to the
lesser Mortons and GImans. who are not yet
found ont. There are such men, who know
themselves unfit for the trust repOsed in
them. and yet go on robbing others, pursued
by a fearful looking-for of Judgment. Not
necessarily villains by nature, either. The
recent hard times and the struggle for dis
play and power make temptations strong and
the American custom of leaving officials un-
watched makes fraud easy. Good reputation
alone will carry man through forgerles as
clumsy as Gilman's, and swindle as gigantic as
Morton's. and even enable him, like the latter
gentleman, when he is found out, to charm re-
spectfu reporters with grandioquent declara-
tions of remOrse, until they hasten to cover
I'D his crime with admiration of the
Christian graces with which he adorned it,
Heaven forbid that we should be hard
upon any fallen man. But there is no
more significant sign Of the corruption of
public morals, and there is no surer way to
spread that corruption among the young, than
the good humored fOIbearance which such
criminals nowadays meet from the public, the
leniency with which their felony is excused

press lifted it to view as Shem did his fathers

and the crime began in such mans career.
We are apt to forget that the history of the
world in few years will be made by just such
lads.

not to end until proper attention has been
given to this important matter. 1t is to be
hoped, too, that Congress will deal with 1t IN
a more liberal and enlightened spirit than usri-
ally characterizes legislative bodies. This fine
library, which is growing with such striking

an eye to the future as seldom characterizes
the Congressman who fights with all his might
and main for an appropriation for the dees-

that does not affect the "deestrict." The IL
brary ought TO have accommodation worthy OF
it, and Congress ought to give it promptly,
and in liberal spirit.

Judging from Mukhtar Pasha's report. the
predictrd battle did not Gene off on Friday.
Having repulsed him on ths previous day, the
Russians were, doubtless, satisfied with their
victory and unprepared to renew the conflict
az soon as was expected. If, as Mukhtar
Pasha claims they have retreated, it Is no
doubt from inability to continue hostilities,
rather than from strategic motives The po-
sitions they held were evidently as good as
they could acquire.

In connection with the subject Of Southern mml
grafton we invite attention to work on Viz
ginia, published recently under tho supervision
of the State Board of Immigration. 1t gives as
thorough description Of the soil, climate products
and present social condition Of the State rs could
well be put in the space of 300 pages We presume
the book will be sent by the board, whose office Is
AT Richmond. to all who desire information with a
view of settling in the State. Virginia. after the
close of the war, led all the Southern states IN inV-
ing immigration. As early 1867 her Legislature
adopted resolutions extending an invitation to ." all
'casses Of men from all countries to settle the sur
"plus lands of the Commonwealth and engage IN all
the great industrial pursuits" The welcome held
ont tosetlers from the North and from foreign coun-
tries, and the good order that has prevailed IN the
State during and since the period of reconstruction,
have secured for her several Thousand new citizens.
There room for many thousands In no part Of
the South will the settler find better conditions for
prosperng in new home than in the Old Dominion.

Mr. Tweed did not startle as much as he
amused by his testimony on Saturday. lie
went over ground that had been well plOughed
before and turned up little that was new.
The most serious document submitted IN proof
that The albany Argus had been subsidized,
was a check for $4,000, Endorsed by President
Cassidy and Attorney Manning of The Albany
Argus Company payroll of sinecures with
the name of Mr. Cassidy's brother upon it,
and list Of payments to The Argus Company
of a very suspicious character. A plausible
EXPLANATION of the check business was tele-
graphed by Mr.. Manning, but a simpler and
more trustworthy explanation of Tweeds story
might have been had by showing, as the
banks books undoubtedly will show, to whose
credit the money was placed. The naming of
| James J. Weed as the one who drew $4,000 a
year from the ring for Senator WOOdln, adds
strength to the charges already made against
the Senator, and mere denial will hardly re-
lieve Inn from the suspicion that Tweed
has all along told the truth about him.
The political design of much of this ex-
animation was indicated by two circum-
stances. The attitude of Senator Henry
c. Murphy and William c. Kingsley in fa-
yor of the denomination Of BigclOw and Fair
child made them targets for former shafts
which were intended to affect State issues.
| The appearance as interOcutOT on this second
occasion of Demas Barnes, whose opposition to
the same men on local matters is notorious,
indicates that Tweed's rather indefinite testi-
mOny of Saturday was intended to affect local
issues in Brooklyn. The other incident indi-
eating the political purpose of the inyestiga-
ZION was the quick and general objection to
any answer to the question of completely i'll
ring frauds of present members OF the Tam
many General Committee. There was great
| fear and intense anxiety lest innocent men
might be involved by the response of the wit
ness. 1t was an absurd notion. Let the in
qury go on now to the end. No innocent
man can be injured, and some guilty ones
hitherto unsupported may be exposed

An active discussion concerning the whereabouts
Of the remains of Columbus is likely to arise from
the recent claim at Santo Domingo of their discov
cry there A resume Of the Sant0 Domingo evidence
has appeared in The World, with comments on the
weakness of the testimony which appear TO he
fairly justified. The story as given by La Fdrd'
NAV be summarized as follows: There had long
been a popular tradition that the remains OF Column
bus still rested in the cathedral at santo Domingo
The remains of Don Luis Columbus, who was Captain
General of the Island from 1910 to 1913, nave
been recently discovered in that cathedral. These
circumstances it 10 stated induced the authorities"
TO make an investigation. which was conducted IN
the presence of spectators of high eccle-
siastcal, civil and military rank. The sepuchre be-
ing opened with due respect" lead collin was
brought to view. 80 to the astonishment OF ALL" TN
the top was found the inscription ID de Ia per Aie
The Diario says that 81 dc Ia A F" means DeS6H0dcf
de la america but before accepting this evidence
It is questioned whether the name Of America had
been given to this country in Columbus's time. On
the inside of the coffin found IN German Gothic
the inscription Hire Esdo VGron ID ChrstoDd'
Colon. Finally bones and dust were found within.
La Patrid also refers TO statement IN Spanish
newspaper published in this city in 1886, suggest
ing that at the time of the removal OF the remains
in 1896 TO Cuba trick was played by canon by
which other remains than those of Columbus were
substituted. Taking the whole story rs 10 now
stands there appears to be more probability that
trick was played on the present than on the previous
occasion. This discovery of remains, as described,
has the air of being preaTanged and conducted Tor
sensational effect. Assuming that TIE performance
was from first to last, n fraud it is supposed that
the coffin with its contents and inscriptions, was re-
Gently prepared and deposited.

Since the Howgate expedition to Arctic re-
gions has taken definite shape, expressions OF
a wish that EnglishInen should make new
effort to reach the Pole have been frequent in
London newspapers. Probably the projected
voyage of Sir Allen Young III the Pandora is
in part the offspring of these desires. The
choice of the Spitzbergen route indicates that
the opinion of Captain Mares is still of weight
in England. and that there is doubt there
of the theory-based on recent accounts OF a
Dundee whaler from Davis Straits-that the
Palaocrystic Sea was broken up tins Summer,
since large quantities of ice were coming
down Smiths Sound.

in the scathing language which Gambetta

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 9. 1877.

Congressional proceedings are Of no
public importance, nothing bit routine
matter being indulgedin BY either House,
both wings Of the Capitol evidently
waiting for reports from investigating
Committees in the South. Every i'm
portant Committee having from two to
five Of it's members either absent from
the city or ssigncd to special duty, it
is almost impossible to secure quorum
of the Senate or House. 1t is expected
that early action will be taken on the
Bland Siirer Bill. The Committee are
averse to that portion of the Bill which
makes silver an unlimited legal tender
beyond the sum of fifty dollars. 4 ru-
NOR is IN circulation that the $4,000
recently stolen from the Treasury has
been returned somewhat mysteriouslv
TO Treasurer Wyman. A clerk in the
Department is said to be the thief, who
relented and the money TO avoid
public exposure. lis thus the Radicals
shield their rascals. The subject of a
new Presidential election is being dis
cussed, but there seems to be a general
disaPproval Of the proposition by both
political parties. Speaker Randall said
Haven't we had one election already /:
| don't want another till know the re-
suit Of this one." Fernando Wood
could not possibly understand upon
what Constitutional or statutory author
ity the proposition was based. Mr..
Hewitt would prefer another electio, TO
civil war, although he thinks Tilden and
Hendricks undoubtedly elected. In
case Of new election he was sure the
democrats would sweep the entire coun-
try. The Republicans are exceedingly
fearful lest the reports from the Florida
Committee will be unanimous in favor
of Tilden. They are awaiting in great
anxiety to hear also from Louisiana, and
feel conviction that the report from IL
will be very damaging to the cause Of
Hayes and leave both the Senate and
House no other alternative than 20 throw
out the vote of that State or count IL for
Tilden. II is significant that Garfield
and Hale are the only republicans of
the House tina. have defended the Re-
turning Boards. The republicans Of
liberal opinions seemed to be prepared
to vote against accepting the returns of
that State. President pro fem Ferry
says he will abide by such decision. and
act in accordance herewith in count
ing or rejecting the certificates of the
disputed States, as the Senate and House
may direct: but should they fail TO agree
upon some method, he viii proceed to
act in accordance with the Constitution
as he interprets it, which is to "count
IN" Hayes. In that event there will
certainly be trouble here. Conkling
has not yet committed himself 10 the
support of either Tilden or Hayes: his
silence grieves the RAIDS seriously

MARYLAND CENrENSIAL.-The 2lst
OF next March will be the centennial Of
the Inauguration Of the first Govern
or of Maryland under the Republic,
Thomas Johnson, jr., and there is some
talk of observing the day with appro-
pirate ceremonies. Governor Johnson
was a warm friend of General Wash
ington, and, while member of the
Constitutional Congress, nominated him
commander-in-chief OF the army. After
Washington had been elected President
he offered Governor Johnson the office
of Secretary OF State, which the latter
was compelled to decline on account of
failing health. The ceremonies attend
ing the Governor Inauguration were
OF an imposing character, including a
procession of Senators, delegates, and
other State officers, citizens, military
and strangers. After the administra.
ton of the oath dinner was served. AT
which the first toast was Perpetual
union and friendship between the State.
of America" The ceremonies closed
with brilliant ball.
