1T is boldly announced by the Demo-
cratic friends of Doorkeeper FIELD that he
had renounced his allegiance to the United
States, the Government that gave him his
education, long before he took service under
the Khedive of Egypt. There is no news
in this announcement; but the boldness Of
its declaration discloses the wanton disre-
gard Of the Democracy for consistent 10y
atty. To complete FIELDS record Of varied
allegiance it is ou!y necessary to add that
he renewed his citizenship in the United
States gimply TO get an office. The same
motive, otfice-getting, induced him to be-
come an Egyptian, and on occasion would,
no doubt, induce him to become a Russian,
Turk, or a Patagonian. Is he q patriot or
Hessianr But, never mind, he's an e1-
Confederate, qualification which commands
the admiration of the Democracy.

IN the spirit of true concilation the Re-
publican party and its leaders have never
failed to extend the right hand of fellow
ship to er-Confederates In fact, many of
them-Judge HuGHEs, of Virginia; Judge
SETTLE, of North Carolina, and now of
Florida; Judge AKERMAN, Of Georgia, and
General LoNosTREEr for example-have
been exalted to high official position by the
Republican party in recognition of their re-
turn to loyalty. This is true Cancellation.
But the Democracy proceeds differently. It
promotes -Confcderates, or rewards them,
simply because they are ex-Confederates,
and degrades Union men simply because
they are Union men.

A MUCH.ApyERTIsED MAN.

There are signs Of serious commotion In
the camp Of the Opposition rs the stately
COLORADO JEwETT approaches the seat Of
Government. c. j., be II know, is mas
ter Of the mighty deep, with mighty deep
mind for mastery. He lays cables at the
bottom Of the ocean, and allays storms at
the surface of the same. When shipwrecked
at Long Branch last year, he bid defiance to
the jealous anger of NEPTUNE and went
ashore in hand-basket. To be sure NEP-
TUNE had II his own way for awhile after
that, but G. J. was enabled to boast over the
wires Of the Associated Press that in fra
gile hand basket, as aforesaid, he had put to
shame the efforts Of the Sea-God TO destroy
one Of Americas Greatest Citizens. This
was supposed to be the crowning victory Of
his life, and It was rudely hinted that the
eager, yea, the yearning, Associated Press
could record no greater achievement to the
credit and further advertisement Of
this Noble Traveler-for be II known
that his life is devoted, rs It were,
to travel in foreign lands and visits
to foreign countries for the purpose of
arousing the envy of the Old World be-
cause Of the fact that America has produced
such an Elegant Specimen of Complete
ment subsidies for his cable projects. But
these rude hints, or expectations, have
been dissipated into thin, even the thinnest
kind Of air, and the airiest kind of airy
nothingness, by the proclamation, over the
Associated Press wires, Of course, that he

Great Conservative party. Everything c. J.
does, or contcmplates and does not do is
Great. But this erection is intended for the
benefit Of the pending Administration. He

as he has been of all of the admins.

clouded; but which does not interfere in
the least with the perennial habit of the
Associated Press to advertise his leaving

have defed NEPTUNE in hand-basket
and escaped a watery grave by means of 1

THE New York Times Washington corre-
spondent thinks the District public school
appropriation is opposed in Congress by a
number of ultra Democrats, because hun
drsds of colored children are receiving ex-
eellent education in the public institutions
of this misgoverned community. And his
judgment is not far from right. He might
have added, however, that the Democrac y
is opposed to the public school system on
general principles. The vote by which the
appropriation was carried through the Sen
ate shows this, for none but Democrats voted
in the negative, and the prompt passage oi
the bill was defeated in the House by Dem
ocratic objection.

THE Boonville Miss Pieader of April
s, in referring to the visit of Mrs. CHIsOLM
to that State to testify against her hus.
bands attempted murderers. says:
"Now the truth Of tho matter is that Mrs.
CHIsoLM never left Washington. She was not
asked nor did she answer any questions, be-
cause she was not before the court. The pris-
oners have not been acquitted because they
have not been tried, the prosecution not being
ready. Judge IRELAND has nothing to do
with the trial, ss Judge HAMM presides in
that district"
We have the very best authority far say
ing that Mrs. CHIsoLM did attend the Fed
eral court at Jackson, the capital of the
State; that Judge HAMM presided, and
that the farce of trial was gone through
with to convict for an attempt to murder
Judge CHIsoLM on the day appointed fol
him to speak in advocacy of his interest as
candidate for Congress in 1876, at DE
Kalb. Mrs CHIsOLM was not allowed to tell
her story in her own way, because that
would not suit the purposes Of the court
and spectators. Those who attempted the
murder were acquitted, much to the joy OF
the bull-dozers in that section of the coun-
| try.
