Clothed iB Shame.

Stanley Matthews has had the good
sense to accept his fate, to slink away
back 10 Ohio, TO saw nothing about ifs
arrival ard To try his best 10 escape pul =
lie attention. OF course he knew that
the Anderson Letters finished him politi-
cally; and his refusal to go before the
Potter Committee was obviously to spare
HAYES the revelation of bottom facts.
| Stanley Matthews in his fall has, how
ever, shown two good traits. He has
shown oyalty to his companions in fraud
and he has shown that he still is capable
of the feeling of shame. A career of err
ror is not hopeless so long as the offend
er shrinks from exposure and disgrace.
He would not 20 before the Potter Com
mitLee because he did not want to lie,
and lie, and he knew that he C uld not
tell the trui b without convicting HAYES
of completely in the frauds that counted
him in.
Rat John Sherman cannot slink away
out of sight, aud probably would not do
, so if he could. He has that brazen tenn
permanent that has enabled Henry Ward
Beecher TO stand up and OUTAGE the eyi-
dence of his own letters and row that
the wretched fabrication of the jerks
testimony have broken down, he is cloth
ed with new shame for he is more than
suspected of having succeeded in "con-
quering the prejudices" of Mrs, jerks,
a. he attempted To conquer those of j.
+. Anderson and +. l.. Weber. When
a man seeks out the witnesses before
they testify, and tampers with them, the
punlic mind with un.rriug certainty ac-
cepts thai fact AS an additional evidence
of guilt. If after all interviews between
counsel and witnesses are over the wit
ness makes such a ludicrous failure in
her attempts TO eek Jnerate" him, it
shows that John Shermah's case is hope
less. Mr.. Weller's su igeStion that the
true defense of Mr. Pick wick in breach
of-marriage-promi>e action should have
been "a hahbi" was hardly more absurd
than Mr.. Shermaus defense, that Mrs.
jerks wrote the letter. The common
sense OF nine out of ten American peo-
pie is convinced, that Sherman wrote
that letter; and Sherman has never ven
tured to deny it. The reason THAI he
gave for not denying the copy was, that
he feared that the original or a photo
graphic copy might be produced and
even now that Weber has sworn, that he
himself destroyed the letter, Sherman
still does not venture TO deny that he
wrote it, He still fears that it is being
held back a trap, Upon this pinnacle
of shame now stands John Sherman,
convicted Il, in part, on his own testimony
of the authorship of letter, which
brands him as an accomplice in n series
of infamous frauds, Tor the perpetration
Of which he has received a valuable con-
sidetation in the position he now holds
The American Eagle must have felt on
the Fourth of July, that perhaps the
most unclean feather in the wing Of that
once proud bird, is the pre-ent Secretary
Of the Tre;sury.-Bait. Gazette.

IT CosTs TOO MUCa TO Run THE CITY
GovERNMENT.-We had been greatly
encouraged to think our city government
was coming down TO the views of the
masses in the matter of retrenchment.-
But the action of the Council last even
ing has discouraged us, and we feel deeply
alarmed at the aspect of things. Many
of our taxpayers will find that their bills
will be largely in excess of what they
were last year, and the action last night
in repeating the ordinance giving the
cleaning Of the streets out by contract, il
is said by many, will add ten or twelve
thousand dollars to the expenses. This
thing is hard to be borne even from oui
friends. They may hope to get democratic
votes by giving Democrats employment
on the streets, or they may hope to be
able to get the negroes by promises O
work to pay their taxes and vote. But
they will find what is gained this way by
this favoritism will be lost through tn,
resentment of men in their own ranks
The taxpayers are the sufferers, anC
none but ofiice-holders profit by tn
scheme.

The Fools are not all dead vet, fone
forms his estimate by the silly articles
that appear in the organs of the gold
gamblers, and the holders of L. 5. bonds,
in regard to the silver dollars that Sher-
man refuses to put into circulation. Poor
things they find it hard to get over their
being tripped up in their desire to deceive,
cheat and further defraud the people,
They @nstantly assert that the people
won't have the dollar. This is said in
the face Of the fact that the people are
using as much silver as they ever did, and
that Of the debased character issued to
redeem the postal currency, long before
the vote on the question of Iemonetiza-

question on the redemption Of the postal

IT'S A sin and shame that the produce
of farmers shall lay and rot in the ware
houses, because of favoritism to the manu-
facturer preventing the lowering of duties
and opening of the ports to moderate
interchange of products with the starving
world. Protection does no good; as the
mills have not been run regularly since
ls73. The mills would have more TO do
undera revenue tariff. The farmers cam
not sell their produce and have no money
with which to buy.

MERE IMITAToRs.-The Wilmington
Republican politicians are mere imitators.
They have taken up the Dover whine for
Office; and now these poor souls fairly
howl for Office. They are in sore travail
over the poor prospect of electing any
thing since the negroes have refused to
pay their taxes, and what will become of
them dear only knows. IfPatterson is
not nominated some of them swear they
will bolt: nobody is good enough for city
official positions, unless he is a lawyer
Well, we don't care, lawyer may be as
good as other people; but they are the
most expensive public servants, never al-
parently satisfied with the amount of theil
salaries; and duplicating charges frequent.
ly where they render very small SERVICE
Their candidate for the Mayoralty is tn,
most bitter politician we have ever know
at this bar; and no mercy need be expect
ed at his hands should poor inebriat
fall into his clutches. We don't believ
lie can be elected. If the Republican
were TO nominate some kind hearte
man like Evan Stotsenbug, Geo. W
Sparks, or Vim. Tatnall, they would stan
better chance; but We do not believe al
the whining their newspaper writers ca
do will lead the Democrats to vote for tn
men they propose to put up for the May
crafty.
