CONGRESS has adjourned, and the
country breathes freely once again.
The appropriation bill and the river
and harbor bill were passed.
Hon. Thad. G. Pound, our NJ. c,
called up the Northern Pacific ex-
tension bill just before the adjourn
ment, at an inopportune time as ii
proved, but the House refused to
entertain the question, and the bill
went over to the doubtful mercies
of the next Congress.

the heroes of the Commune made a
target of an archbishop? Was it for
this that "Liberte, Egalite, Frater.
nite," are inscribed on all the dead
walls and fences; that woman,I ,Iovely
woman whom we adore should be
deprived of the poor privilege OF
riding on the top OF an omnibus?
Wha. liberty is there in any land
which prevents her from riding on
the top of an omnibus? What equal
ity is there in any country that de-
nies her the right of riding on the
top of an omnibus? How can she
fraternize with a fellow on top OF
an omnibus, if they won't allow her
to get On top? These are questions
vital to French liberty which, | hope,
the next Commune will settle in a
manner sharp, quick and decisive,
Another source of grief to every
liberty-loving Frenchwoman (and
all of them love liberty arises from
the fact that they can't wear their
two story and half hats in the
parquette of the Grand Opera. In
fact they will not allow them to go
in there at all, and the most mag
nifcent and comfortable portion OF
the house where everybody can look
at you, and you can look at every
body else, is appropriated exclusive
ly to brutes of men. Madam
Roland was right: ooh! liberty, lib
erty, liberty?' ETC., etc., etc. Let

may stand on her head or go with
out fig leaves, but she can't put hel
foot in the parquette of the Grand

SHERIFF. KING.

The Board of County Commissioners on
yesterday afternoon held meeting and
elected James King sheriff of Ramsey
county, in place of Major Becht, deceased.
This selection will give general satisfaction
to the public. AS chief of police, Mr.: King
has proven his ability and integrity, and the
only regret owing to his election as sheriff
will be because it deprives the city of such
an excellent head for it's police department..
Under his management a great revolution
has taken place in the police of st. Paul.
No city of its size in the country is better pro-
tected by the police, and few as well as St. Paul.
The faithfulness of the chief has long been
the subject of commendatio1, and he brings
to his new position both ability and in
tegrity.
Politically speaking, other things being
equal, the appointment was good one, and
the result will, we trust and believe, be to
strengthen the Democratic party in this
county and heal breach which has long
and nearly fatally divided the organization.
It is time for the Democracy of Ramsey
county to meet their common enemy with a
solid front, and Mr.. Kings selection will 20
far to produce that result.
We congratulate both the Democracy and
the public at large upon the selection, and
heartily welcome Sheriff King to his new po-
sition.

grand jury of Will county to do its duty,
saying: 'sIf the discharged and reprimand-
ed officials had anything to do with causing
Reeds death. discharge and reprimand are
not adequate or legal penalties" Such a
statement must commend itself to every
reasonable man. It is just such an injunc-
ton as was contained in Judge Cox's charge
to the grand jury of Nicollet county in rela-
ton to the allegations of homicide in the St.
Peter asylum. In either case we trust that
the grand jury will do its duty without fear
or favor. Grand juries are sometimes in
huenced, without themselves being aware of
it, by prejudices of local feeling or interest.
In these cases the jurors ought to. be most
careful to strip themselves of any bias for
or against the accused persons, to the end
that justice may prevail.
Daily globe., 1878-05-31

No. 3os1, a bill (H. r. No. 1876 amending
chapter 73 of the act approved February 2s,
1877, relating to the pensions of soldiers who
have lost one hand and one foot which was
read a first and second time, referred to the
committee of the whole on the State of the
union, and. with the accompanying report.
ordered to be printed.
There is pending bill to date all pensions
from date of death or discharge, called the
"Arrearages Bill" which will soon pass.
There is also pending bill for the relief
of the Mexican soldiers. This has been dis
cussed in part. The solid opposition of the
Republican party prevents its present con-
sideration, and may prevent its passage. But
the pension committee will push it, and let
the responsibility rest where it belongs
with the Republican party.
