tion has refused to comply with this rule, and we think he does us very great injustice to impugn our motives and to insinuate that we are guilty of discriminating against his section of the county or against his fayoiite candidate. As we stated in our paper of the 14th of Feb. our only reason for not publishing his com munication recommending Mr. B. F. Bayliss for the position of Probate Judge was simply because we did not know who the writer was, and we treated it just as we have treated scores of other anonymous letters. We cannot and will not undertake to publish letters sent to us by Tom. Dick and Harry without any respon- sible signature accompanying the same. Were we to undertake to do so there are many instances where irresponsible parties would take aa- vantage of it to give vent to their spleen and pour out their abuse through the papers, and the parties attacked would have no method Of getting redress for their wrongs. In the presont case, however, we do not think our correspondent is one Of this class, for if we guess rightly he is a citizen of worth and charac- ter, and just the kind of a man we shall always be proud to hear from on any subject of public interest. We have taken the pains since re ceiving his second communication to compare the handwriting and we are satisfied that we now have him identified.
 The two communications referred to by "A Voter" suggesting B. T. Embry for Governor, and the editor of this paper for Representative were each accompanied by the bona fide names of the writers. Had they not been, either of them would been published. Thus aA Voter" can see that we have neither diseriminated against his section of the county, nor have we done ought to justify him in insinuating that we have an axe to grind.

 FOREIGN 1t is now rumored that an early meeting of the Congress IS no longer probable, and Russia don't care cent whether it meets at all, as England and Austria demands that the whole treaty shall be sub mitted.
 \ Vienna correspondent says that Russia does not contest the right of Congress to decide what clauses Of the treaty involve European inter ests. England demands that the Congress shall have power to dis cuss all clauses.

 Friday, March Is. The news from the National Cap ltal to day is very meager. Owing to the receipt Of news from Havana, of the death of I. E. Leonard, Repre-
 sentative from Louisiana, the. House adjourned without transacting any business of pubic interest. The House Committee on Civil Service have agreed upon report in Door Keeper Folks case charging him with loose management and recon mendIng his removal.
 FoREIGN.-England's policy con tending for the submitting to Con gress of all the terms of peace, ex- cept the question Of money indemni 1 ", is upheld by Germany. The Russians are making further adyane- es toward the Bosphorus, and the outlook is not so hopeful or pacific as it was.
 Saturday, March l6. l The Southern Mail Contractors bill has met it's death in the House. the Committee of the Whole having recommended the striking out of the enacting clause and the recommend
 ation having been adopted. The sub Committee of the Senate Railroad Committee made unani-
 nous report in favor of Senator
 Mitchell's bill giving the Northern
 Pacific Railroad ap extension of B years to complete the road. The Eastern question is again growing interesting and the dis
 patches are given sensational head ings. The Congress is likely to
 prove a failure and grave apprehen-
 sions are entertained of serious com
 plications. Russia is still strength
 ening her position at the the Bos 1 phorus and there is no abatement in England's military preparations.
 Russia does not seem disposed 10
 abandon her plans and pays but
 small regard, apparently, for the
 conciiation of the jealous powers.
 The outlook is threatening and the
 end may yet be more bloodshed and
 slaughter.

7uE CT>yOv HOTSE CHANGES.

The first political duty of the hour is
to prevent the control OF the Gov
eminent by the men who strovc 10
destroy it. Their alliance with the rcpu-
dating and cOmmunistic elements at the
North clearly makes the task difficult. No
agency can accomplish il, except the
Republican party, and that must fail
unless it brings ont its last man. Believing
most earnestly in the dangers from Republic
can defeat We hold Republican harmony now
a duty, and insist that neither "A President
nor n Senator be suffered to disturb it.
Nothing Is easier than TO 20 to qualrcIling
about the Ncw-YOrk Custom House and
throw away the state. 1t Is possible,
on the other hand to redeem four Con-
grcSsiOnal districts, and save the Legs
lature and the United States Senator, and we
insist that the measure and test OF the Re
publicanism are now to be found i'll sincere
and loyal efforts to that end
Many things, therefore, which ycStcr-
DAVIS revolution at the Custom House sug-
gests, may well be reserved for discus
SION at less critical times. 1t cannot.
indeed be disguised that the first
impression IT produces is not wholly pleasant.
If these changes were to be made, the public
would have preferred 10 see them made when
there could have been 10 suspicion OF a wish
either To dodge or to defy the Senate.
But if, as the Administration declares, the
interest of the public service did actually de
mand these suspensions, there can be no doubt
that the new appointments are just as
good as could be made. General Merritt rises
TO the Colectorship after signal success in
both the other chief offices Of the Customs
service. When he was made Naval Ohi-
Ger, Mr.. Grccley's own pen, i'll these
columns bore the warmcst testimony
to his fitness; and when he turned
the Office over to his successor, the same
pen paid tribute to the ability he had
displayed, and the spotless record he left
behind him. Before he was made Surveyor,
TIE TRIBUNE heartily commended him to the
Administration as the precise type OF man
il should seek for the place. We may
now fairly say that his service as Surveyor
is his best recommendation to the higher

prPpoSterouS fear of leaving the Federal Govern
ment ut liberty 10 do something in an emergency 4,
as old as the time of Washington. The ancestors Of
the present BOurbOns were shocked when he {, lled
ont the militia OF the neighbOring States TO crush
the Wh.key resurrection in Pennsylvania; but
Washington knew his duty. and after he had done
il the country admitted that he was right.
There has always been some difference Of opinion
among the managers of hOrse-railways as 70 tins de-
gree OF intoXlcatiOn which units a man or a woman
to become passenger. On one or two of the roads
the rules, we believe. are tOlerably severe tho
Third Avenue Company draws the line rgdly at
ability to pay fare, holding that nobody who il So
Der enough to extract five cents from his pocket can

passenger shall be able to keep his clothes on as ths
witnesses OF disgusting scene on ear No. So carly
last Wednesday evening could testify But with
the elevated roads the must always be very
different Under the most liberal construction of
the rules we can depend upon finding one in tho
cars who is not sober enough TO get upstairs.
For glacial assurance commend us to Mr. Jefferson
Davis, late chief of the Government which com.
mssioncd the Alabama and the Shenandoah. In
his speech at Mississippi City he charges upon tho
Republican party that it has been the means Of
Americas losing the carryng-t trade
