Newspaper Mems Trials.

One of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession is, that its men,
bers are compelled to see more of the
shams of the world than any other pro-
fession. Through every newspaper
Office, day after day go all the weakness
es of the world; all vanities that want
to be pulled; all the revenges that want
to be reaped; all the mistakes that want
to be corrected; all the dull speakers
who want to be thought eloquent; all
the meanness that wants to get its
wares noticed gratis in the editorial col
umns, in order to save the tax of the
advertising columns; all the men who
want to be set right; all the crack
Drained philosophers with stories as
long as heirhair, and as gloomy as their
finger-nails in mourning because bereft
of soap-all the bores who come to stay
five minutes, but talk five hours.
Through the editorial and reportorial
rooms, all the follies and shams of the
world are seen day after day, and the
temptation is to believe in neither God,
man nor woman. 1t is no surprise to
me that in this profession there are
some skeptical men; only wonder that
journalists believe anything. Dewitt

beautifully beaten. Poor Guyon, our
chief-of-staff, an hour before going into
action, imagined a coup de main with
some lancers and Arab Spahis upon this
little work. There was wild rush, a
scattering fire of musketry, half q
dozen saddles were emptied and the hill
was won. 1t was the key-point of the
enemy's position, leading to his rear by
a gentle slope, but too steep on the
side of his batteries for those to act
effectively against us. A couple of
battalions came up with mountain
battery, and our fire began to be very
troublesome. Immediately an officer
was sent down to explain the advanta-
ges of the position. An hour passed by
without reply, and then hail of
shells came down among our ranks.
Hussira Avni-the same who. as Seras-
kier, was murdered last June
by the Circassian Hassen Bey-was
then in command of some squadrons Of
lancers, and at once dispatched
second messenger to the Pasha. at
least this time we had an answer, but
it was not encouraging. ''Tell those
fools''-the term was PeSauink, which
is a little ,stronger-''th the plan
agreed upon indicated the Karadagh as
a Russian position, and that as such I
will treat it.'' So he did, and we were
forced to retire, leaving behind us more
than 100 dead and wounded, all struck
down by Turkish proiectiles. My read
ers can judge for themselves Of the Ser
kier's value as commander-in-chief
New York Times.

To The Editor Of the National Republican!
The undersigned desires TO correct false i'm
pressions which might perhaps be received by
the public upon reading the card Of Delegate
Kidder published in your issue OF yesterday. Mr..
KIdder says the Black Hills have been organized
by enRctments OF the Legislature OF Dakota, but
omits TO state that only one.third Of the Black
Hills are within the Territory of Dakota.
In speaking Of the amount Of money voted for
establishing roads from the eastern portion OF
Dakota, Mr.. X. does not inform the public that
all the territory between eastern Dakota and the
Iillsls still an Indian reservation, and inhabited
by the savages.
In giving the distance from the Missouri river
to the Black Hills, the gentleman failed to add
the distance Of three hundred miles from Yank.
ton to Fort Pierre, the point from which he Spys
there Is 100 miles to the Hllls, making over 40
miles from Yankton TO the Hills.
By publishing these statements In your columns

The late contest for the Presidency having
been so close, and in view OF the fact the cOntro
yersy was characterized with such heated de-
bates, the friends Of the President-elect have
been seriously considering the probable ground
OF complaint which people might raise, II there
was allowed the shortest hiatus In the Office Of
President After reviewing precedcnts and
thoroughly canvassing the situation, Mr.. Hayes
has decided TO he sworn into Office, at moo to-
day, at the Executive Mansion, by the Chief
Justice OF the United States.
AcceI ted authorities state that for the purposes
In view, Sunday is no more than any other day,
and that the constitution in speaking ofthe Presl
Dental term, gays, "trom and after March 4th,
and therefore, It is decided that the Ith OF March
must be o calendar day for tho administration of
the oath, no matter what day OF the week It falls
upon. In los, March 3, came upon Sunday. The
Senate adjourned on Saturday March 2nd, and
met the next day. The entry in Its Journal, is
March Sd, and Jefferson signed bills on that day.
The practice has been, however, not to
perform any legislative acts on the Sabbath.
In regard to the necessity OF administering the
oa tn In public upon the second Inauguration Of
President Washington, this question was mat.
ter Of cabinet discussion. 1t was decided then to
administer the oath Of Office in public.
When President Monroe was inaugurated,
March 4th coming on Sunday, the Senate was
notified that he would be sworn In on that occa.
sion. In Mr.. Tayl0Ts time the oath was admin.
istered on the 9TH. Taking all the precedents
into consideration II was decided that the taking
OF the oath on Sunday does not lnyaiidate IL.
whereas IL the oath OF 6liice was not taken until
Monday, the 5th instant, there would be a lapse
OF twenty -four hours from the time when the
term OF President Grant ceased and that Of
President Hayes began, and In case OF an emer.
gency tonight the technical point might be
raised, can q President act in his oaicial capacity
