HON. j. W. DWIGHT

We are not aware whether or not the Hon.
JW. DWIGHT, ofthe twenty-eighth Congress
sional district of New York. is q candidate
for reelection this fall, or what the dispo-
sition of his constituents may be in that be-
half, but this much we know, his district
will take hazard in making q change.
Though Mr.. DWIGHT has had the experi-
ence of but single session, he is not with
out record of which his constituents may
be justly proud. lie has applied himself
| closely and intelligently TO the duties of his
position, being uniformly in his seat and n
careful observer Of the proceedings of the
House. He has not been silent or mac
tive member of the body, but has inter
posed his voice and influence in behalf of
and on the right side of most measures and
questions Of public moment. On the 2lst
of last February he addressed the the House
on the question of the coinage of the silver
dollar, and his effort was one of merit. He
advocated the silver dollar of equal value
with gold, which, to say the least of it, is a
position of public safety, though it cannot
be regarded as front rank position
on the silver question. However, ms
the values of gold and silver are both
conventional, the point aimed at can be
reached when the conventional relative
values of the two metals are clearly defined
and established by legal equality. So long
rs gold enters into the mart of speculation
as q commodity it is not possible to fix any
urh N thup 30
other article of merchandise But il is not
our purpose to controvert the effort of Mr..
DWIGHT, but to commend it to the perusal
of his constituents.
When Mr.. WRIGHT, of Pennsylvania, one
of the yeriest and cheapest demagOyues in
the House, was retailing the stale charges
that the embarrassed business condition of
the country was the consequence of bad
legislation on the part of the Republicans,
Mr.. DWIGHT took issue with the gentleman,
and dealt some heavy and damaging blows
upon his flimsy armor, showing that the
troubles that now impcnd over trade COM
mercc, and manufactures come of Demo-
cratic tmkering and bungling with the af-
fairs of the nation.
Mr.. DWIGHT may be credited with the
following proposed amendment to the Con-
stituton of the United States, which, il it
could he adopted, would save the National
Treasury millions of money that will he APP
piled to the purpose here proposed to he
guarded against should the Dcmocra tic

AN af1idavit-maker is called for by the
Baltimore GaEette to clear up the AcKLEN-
RossER mystery and save these valiant SOL
diers from the necessity of shooting at each
other. The truth Is what the public want ;
and If misrepresentation have been made
that have done wrong and injustice to these
parties, who appear to have been overtaken in
fault in an unfortunate manner and unde 1
unfavorable circumstances, let some aflida-
vit-maker be introduced to lift the veil,
clear up the mystery, and relieve the public
mind Of painful anxiety. The afiidnviis
OF General RossER and Mr. ACKLEN would
be IN order. That the main facts are sub
stantially as have been stated by the press
all over the country there is no doubt, ex-
cept that RossER did not lay hand or foot
on ACKLEN, but discovered him in an un-
fortunate predicament and helped to get
him out of 1t as soon as possible. The par
ties involved are alone responsible for the
scandal. If they had not talked, gossip
mongers would have lost rare treat. No
body else knew of it until they told it.

WHEN Sunset Cox, speaking to the pen.

phrase: " He was thoroughly wounded in

some Of his own retiring sensibilities. A
man may be wounded and thoroughly
wounded by physical wound, but he can.
not be wounded in every respect" withou,
having his vanity touched and his feelings
outraged. That's what Sunset meant, and
looking about him on the disgraceful scenes
Of the closing hours Of the session, it was
natural that his feelings were outraged. He
was not more than ninety-nine one hun
dredth as all "as HAMILTON, of Indiana,
for example, and his vanity was touched
Another visit to SANDERsoN's would have
remedied the matter, and Cox would have
been drunk in every respect"
National Republican., 1878-06-27

1T Is reported that Mr.. ACRLEN Is coming
north TO seek vindication. If he has been
misrepresented he is entitled to the fullest
rindication, and the most summary way to
reach 1t Is for General RossER and himself
to publish denial Of 1t at once, which will
find prompt circulation over the country
wherever the scandal has been published.
Any other process will be much slower, and
hence, under a lapse of time, less effective.
The press of the country will be as ready to
vindicate him, If he has been wronged, as it
has been to publish the injurious state
ments, which seemed to be well authenti-
Gated at the time.

Those slaves were not cannon and bayonets
aud armed foes in the late so-called rebellion,
and in no sense 'contraband.' They were our
property, solemnly and specifically recognized
as such, and duly protected and guaranteed by
that Constitution aud Union which our advcr-
saries alleged they took up arms to maintain
intact and defend. Moreover. they took no
part in that fratricidal struggle save when
forced to join the ranks Of the invader and
wage war against their best friends and bcue- :
factors. On the banditti principle that might

spoils,' only, therefore, can this robbery of an
Impoverished people be justified" Again /:

THE MCVEAGH Commissioners are all
anxious to pay their respective personal ex-
penses incurred during their trip to New
Orleans last year. They throw drafts,
checks, and money-orders into Secretary
sHERMAN's lap with a MONTE CHRISTIE
kind of frecklessness that dazes people who
are suffering from the stringency of the
times. We suggest that they shall keep
their money, and if Congress does not make
the sum good, the NICHOLS government
should be called upon, as the beneficiary of
their labors, TO do so. The idea that President
HAYES should be allowed to pay it out of his
own pocket is simply ridiculous unless, in
deed, as his enemies charge, he was also one
of the benefited parties. But, seriously
speaking, the non-payment of this obliga-
tion is n sad reflection upon the gratitude
Of the Southern Democrats They had con-
troll of the House, but refused to appropri-
ate cent for its payment, although their
friends were the parties interested and, rs
we have said, most directly benefited If
bad not been for that commission and it's

Orr bclligerent Kentucky friend, BoPEEF
WATTERsON, between his bloodless assaults
upon Mr.. HEWITT, and his careful endeav-
ors to keep the fuse of the bombshell he
swallowed during the war in dampened
and nOn-explosive condition, finds time to
cheer his 100000 unarmed lambs with the
following evidence of his gratitude to Presi-
dent HAYES, for the latter's Southern
"policy;"
"Thc South may still forget that Hayes has
never done an act for which he did not expect
double pay. From the frst he has been an
intriguer; II small huckster Of patronage; truly
faithful to no party aud nobody; ready to be-.
tray all to intrcuCh himself in the place which
he knew he got by fraud"
We are reiOiced to know that WATTEsON
has relieved himself in this very pointed
manner. As the leading Democratic jour
nalist OF the southwest, and the scll.dc-
scribcd representative OF the better and
more conservative element of the cx-Con-
federatc Democracy, he is careful not TO
overstep the bounds of prOpricty in any of
his political utterances. But if this be con-
servutsm and graceful submission to the
existing condition of affairs if it is loyal
obedience TO the laws Of his country; then
we are willing to admit that red-headed
jim has inherited the talismanic little
hatchet from the Father Of his Country.
