This inquiry, which seemed at one
time SO formidable and so fraught with
startling threats if not with great results,
has dwindled to ludicrous attempt by
nearly a dozen men to extract petty
secret from one artful and saucy woman,
who battles them at every turn. There is
no longer any attempt to shake the
title of President Hayes, although the
Maryland memorial was cited in the
preamble of the resolution as reason for
creating the committee. The inquiry seems
to have been narrowed down to the question
whether Mrs. jerks or Mr.. Sherman was
the author Of brief letter promising
that Weber and Anderson should be
taken care of if they stood firm in
adhering to statements which they had
already made and sworn to and refused
the brides which they asserted had been
offered them by the democrats. If Mrs.
jerks story is true the mountain in labor
has brought forth ridiculous mouse. But
even if it should be made probable that
Mrs. jerks lies, and that Mr.. Sherman did
write the letter, we cannot see that the
establishment of such fact is Of
any great political consequence. Such
promises were made right and left
by both political parties in Louisiana, in
Florida and in Oregon, the persons making
them being always careful to assume that
they wanted only honest action and prom
Using rewards for nothing else. If the letter
in question was really written by Mr.. Sher-
man it will compare favonbly with
the democratic kilograms sent to Ore
gon when the attempt was made to de-
fraud the republicans of that State Of one
Of their electoral votes. The fact that Mr..
Sherman would have suffered so little if he
had acknowledged the letter TO be his favors
the idea that his denial is truthful. AT any
rate the inquiry is becoming contemplate
when it is reduced to a petty question Of
authorship between Mrs. jerks and one Of
the visiting statesmen.

dresses had been delivered and the resolu-
tons adopted the Communistic wind set IN
the direction of Justus SchwaL's lager beer
cellar, SO recently made respondent by the
glory of the Lieutenant Governors pres
ence, and blew the thirsty socialists over to
that renowned establishment. We are told
that fresh beer was tapped to supply the
distinguished visitors. and that large crowd
thronged the saloon and drank schooners
until daylight. Songs were shouted IN
husky, beery voices, and some Of the I'M
clearly French fugitives from justice sang
in a very different key to that they would
have pitched had they not found safety in
flight from their native land During the
whole night the wiry, cunning Schwab
drew the five cent pieces from the pockets
of his guests, and chuckled as each new
song increased the contents of his till. The
wind of Communism certainly blew good to
Justus on Monday night, for he made more
money out of the socialist meeting than he
could have made during three or four
months Of ordinary beer selling Neverthe-
less we have not card that Schwab has di-
yided the profits Of the evening with his
fellow Communists. Indeed, if one of them
had spent his last nickel in Monday nights
debauch we doubt whether he could have
squeezed the price of loaf of bread on
Tuesday morning out of Lieutenant Cover
nor Dorsheimer's protege.

A Historian nc Fault.

The portion Of Mr. Froudes essay on
"Science and Religion" in the July
August number of the International Rsuie,o
the more thoughtful classes, and undoubt-
eddy receive, as it deserves to receive, Sc
we're censure and criticism. 1t will be seen
by the extracts printed on another page
that it is an insidious attack upon the
Christian religion, which Mr.. Froude main
similar to that Of the old religion of Rome
about the time Of Cicero, when it's
rites and ceremonies were subjects of
laughter and ridicule. ''We have" he says,
practically eliminated Providence from
the administration Of things" and set up
political economy as the creed which gov
ems all our actions. The forms remain,
but the soul has fled. Splendid temples
exist There IRE millions Of worshippers,
an imposing ritual, music and sculpture
and painting but to the educated classes
it is all an idle, meaningless form, and
nothing more. 1t is undoubtedly true that
these views are held by a certain class of
scientific men, but their number is exceed
ingly small. Revealed religion is bitterly
attacked at the present time, but it is also
stoutly defended, and if it is not gain
ing in the contest it certainly does
not appear to be losing ground. Chris
tianity has been assailed from the very be-
ginning, and there is no reason to expect
that the time will ever come when 1t will
find no opponent in the field. The Chris
tan religion is fortunate now that its cne-
mics, however eminent they may be, are
still, in an intellectual point Of view, far
inferior to those who have in the past en-
deavored to overthrow it. No one of its
modern assailants is up to the mental
standard Of the philosopher of Ferney
or Of Rousseau, and although Mr. Froude
holds that the condition Of religion to-day
proves that the infdel school of France
has triumphed, the victory, could they
come back to look upon it, is not,
we fancy, one that would give them
very great comfort. In destroying
Christianity, however, Mr.. Froude is kind
enough to throw out small boat to Us in
which we oil may be saved He is good
enough to assure us that we shall have a
new religion Of some kind, but it's exact
character is mystery. 1t has been pretty
conclusively shown that Mr. Froude is not
the most accurate of our historians. His
critics have made terrible havoc with many
OF his most important historical assertions.
In the essay just fresh from his pen he
proves that he is equally lacking in the
qualities that 90 to make an accurate OBJ
server of the events that are occurring
before his own eyes.

OF the four crews entered against the CO.
lumbias and Shoewaecaemettes for the Stew

Rowing four will probably prove the most
dangerous, especially if the report is cor
rect that Captain Gulston has substituted

when defeated by the Beavcrwycks were

Mt all in this direction the two American
teams must be nearly or quite as fast as
Yale was at the Centennial to win. We
say nearly, for it will be remem-

clbowed her out besides. II, however, they,

the final heat, has the good fortune to draw

not entered in the other race for the Visitors

else to do. Iaughter.)" This was clever
hit at the class of political hangers on who,

In what respect are these people better
than that portion OF the fraternity OF
tramps who pilfer without any resort
to threats or violence? Like the
tramps, they eat bread which they do not
earn and render society no honest equiva-
lent for their subsistence. Like the tramps,
they do not intrude their competition into
the labor market, and to this extent they
act on the theory of the Communists, who
would Danish the Chinese, stop labor in the
prisons, limit apprenticeships and abridge
the hours which constitute q days work
How grateful the Communists ought to be to
the tramps and the sinecure politicians for
without compulsion!
The idea that laborers can be benefited
by enforcing idleness upon others is the
absurdest of WITNESSES. The greater the
number of people who are kept at work
the larger will be the abundance and the
lower the prices of commodities, and the
whole laboring community is benefited by
the cheapness OF the things they have &C.
casion to buy. If all the classes of idlers
were industrious producers they would
have the means of purchasing commodities
and would thereby enlarge the market for
the products of other labor. The greater
the number of idlers in any community
the smaller will be the share of the laborers
in the things they produce, unless the idlers
can be made to stop eating when they cease
to work.

seward and Motley.

Mr.. John Bigelow has retold in the Inter-
national Reuie,o the story Of the McCracken
episode and OF Mr.. Motley's resignation of
the post of United States Minister to
Vienna. Of this interesting contribution
to the history of q very interesting time we
give an abstract elsewhere. As presented
on this occasion the story is derived from
two interviews with Mr.. Seward, and does
not vary in any important particular Fl ON
the shape in which it has been current.
There are some new points, but they do
not bear upon what the friends of
Mr.. Motley have always regarded as
Mr. Stewards great often ce--his letter
of inquiry, which implied that Mr..
Motley had used disrespectful language in
speaking of the President. 1t is not pleasant
for Secretary Of State to have to impute
misconduct to q high official on poor
authority, but that is not the only I'M
pleasant thing in the world, and Mr..
Stewards Judgment was precisely of the
practical sort that could assign their rela-
tive Importance to the unpleasant acts that
an official must or may commit. His vindi-
cation, if it can ever be properly considered
that he needs one for this trumpery occa-
sion, is rightly regarded in Mr.. Bigelow's
pages, and is that he was too wise man to
make point OF dignity with President
johnson for the defence of Mr.. Motley, and
thereby, in order to save third rate diplo-
matist deprive the country of Secretary
of State whom IL could not we'll have spared
Mt that time.
