THE USE OF An ALIBI.

The Washington TrGdscer. which has en-
tered into the slander busines, in this city
with n good deal of yigor and enterprise, is
also engaged in protecting the interests OF
the Democratic party and in the manuiac-
ture OF uiibis on the shortest notice. OF
course dHbis are convenient to have on hand
especially with those engaged in the viola
ton of law and right. When ACKLE:;, the

following happy strain:

President interrupted and questioned in his
speeches, but Secretary SHERMAN was sub
iected to disreputable badgering when ho
appeared on the stand. The Herdtds re-
port of this feature reads as follows:
Texas alone, he said, a State larger than
Pennsylvania, New jersey, New York, aud
the whole of New England together, is hardly
more than q wilderness, notwithstanding 1t
abounds In natural wealth. A voice in the
crowd here shouted, Pass WRIGHT's Home
stead bill and we'll all go South" This was
greeted with an outburst Of applause and
laughter, which lasted for several moments.
The Secretary was plainly uOnplussed. Final.
ly he recovered himself and rcJumed by say
ing: Il don't know what bill you refer to, but
IL you want $500 the only way for you to get 1t

IN making the appointment Of Health
Officer the Commissioners should not allow
the impression to be forced upon them that
the confidence of the medical fraternity OF
the District is concentrated on one citndi-
date, Although large number OF sigma
turcs TO one paper may have been secured
through professional courtesy and an carly
start, yet the appointment of another man
would prove entirely satisfactory to II ma.
jority OF those same gentlemen. They have
so expressed themselves. And again, it
seems to rs the business men and general
public should have some voice In this mat
ter. Theory is very nice thing but often
fails in practice. The present Health Officer
has proven his fitness and value in the posi-
ton he holds. lie has the universal con-
iidcECc and esteem OF the medical fra
tcrnity, and general popular opinion Ger
tanly speaks III his favor lie should bs

THE Southern Democratic newspapers
begin to talk of Massachusetts as n Demo
cratic State after the next fall election.
They imagine that General len BUTLER
will carry it for the Democrats by running
a mongrcl Grcenback- k-National-Labor-Co Com
mune candidate for Governor. These
Southern Democrats are always anxious
for Democratic success in New England,
simply because the average Yankee oppO-
nent to the Republican party, as well as
some who are not opposed to it, is q syco-
phantic mudsill and ready tool OF the
Chivalry. Much as they hate BUTLER,
they would willingly take him to their
closest embrace, il by so doing they could
encourage him to aid in procuring the sue

The Charleston 5. c. Nccs is just now
engaged in the characteristic effort of build
ing up public sympathy in behalf of the
outluw REDMOND, who stands charged with
the crimes of theft, Illicit distillng, and
murder of an United States revenue officer.
The State courts have thrown their protect

safe at present from prosecution and mer-
tied punishment by the General Govern
mcnt but it is necessary that some excuse
should be manufactured for the exercise Of
executive clcHcnry in his case by Governor

not denying his guilt, but ovasivcly plead

THE yirtuous Democratic organ would not
mention the scandal with which Represen-
tatiye ACKLENs name has been so unpleas-
antly connected for fear of shocking its
readers, but it now has two libel suits on
its hands, both growing out of one and the
same article, in which an elderly maiden
lady oi undoubted chastity and respected
church member were held up to public scorn
as guilty Of criminal immortality. An edi-
torial in its issue yesterday, evidently writ
ten for the purpose of frightening the lady
from her intention of vindicnting her repu-
tation by sueing the organ aforesaid threat
ems that she will be obliged to submit to
great deal of unpleasant notoriety before
she gathers in the coveted shckels." 1t
is hardly probable that she would ever
gather in the coveted shekels," even If
she obtains q Judgment in her favor, as
there is a strong suspicion that there are
very few shekels TO be gathered in that
vicinity; but the lady by legal proceedings
will obtain complete and public vindica-
tion Of her injured reputation. The editor
also says that no decent newspaper ever
wantonly slandercd or traduced the char
acter Of private citizen, male or female"
This seems to be n startling fact which
the editor has just discovered. The wanton
libel, out of which the pending suits have
grown, indicates exactly the character of
the journal that printed it. In the desire
to pander to low taste, the editor publishes
u story seriously iniuring the reputation OF
two worthy people, which, even a SUI
pertic!al investigation wonld have proven
to be utterly without foundation, and this
