nary character, but we cannot realize the full
measure of his baseness and his complete IN
sensibility to shame unless we remember that
he drags them to light himself.
He seems to have spent the past year and a
half in an active career of lying and black
mail. Having made up his mind that 1t was
best TO suppress the affidavit of perjury when
may be called the foundation of the present
proceedings, and to trust to the chance OF
extorting an Office from the fears of MIR. Hayes
or the weakness of Mr.. Stanley Matthews, he
went before the Howe Committee at New
Orleans and swore pumply that his protest
against the Feliciana returns was true and
regular, and then he began to clamor
for paw. He begged and he threatened.
He appealed to the compassion OF the
Republican leaders, and he menaced them
with unexplained Exposures" The Republic
can party would not give him what he de-
manded. "If do not hear from you before
" Friday" he telegraphed in rage to Stanley
Matthews, "IprOmise you shall hear from me
"before the Ohio election" No doubt he
wished by this time that he had done what
"was right" and made "a reputation and
" standing for himself by selling his soul
betimes to Major Burke. He did what he
could to repair the mistake. He went over to
Mr.. Potter, and with all his budget of hector
ing kilograms, rascally letters and shameful
afidavits, threw himself into that gentleman's
arms and begged the favor of being bought.
We do not believe that Mr.. Potter enjoys the
bargain. He must feel that this brazen WIT
ness who uncovers 50 calmly his own rascall-
ties ought to be arrested for indecent self
exposure.

VIOLENCE YERSUS REASON.

Regicides are usually nObOdies, representing only
some little clique or club or acting upon their own
solitary and monomaniacal notions. Hodel, who
tried to kill the Emperor William on the
18th ult, was a travelling tinker. NObil-
ing, who repeated the attempt on Sunday last. was
an obscure frequenter of socalistic clubs, which
did not prevent him from asking for Government
employment. If he had obtained it, he would
probably have become as loyal as anybody drinking
the Emperor's health and long life every
night in flood of beer. Thus the rule holds good.
In modern days at least the king have mostly
been heard of for the first time after the perpetra-
ton of their felonies and have turned out to be
tailors, private soldiers, students-mere adj
yenturers like Orsini, or any of the almost
forgotten persons who devised engines against the
life of Napoleon ILL.,, or of Louis Philippe The
point particularly illustrated by the recent events
in Germany is that the taking off of kings is
frequently attempted when their popularity is
highest. The people whose liberty H0del and No
bling proposed to secure, without being asked
were delighted to hear of their arrest, and will
be delighted to witness their execution
Those who do not know that they are
enslaved, of course, do not want to
be liberated. The Germans are satisfied with mat
ters as they are and in spite Of the indOctrinatons
of advanced thinkers, they regard the Emperor
with tilial affection.
Another noticeable point is. that in modern times
most attempts to assassinate princes have failed
matter how well devised and muTdeTous IN plan
they have been. The regicides seem never
to be sure of their aim; either through
nervousness, OF for some other reason, they shoot
and strike wildly. They are demoralized precisely
as mob is. They are incapable Of precau-
ton, and often too much agitated to escape even
returns to his palace unframed OF only slightly
wounded the would-be hbentOr Of his country
is marched to q dungeon while the people heartily
rejoice at the clumsiness of the failure. This has
been the general upshot of such attempts at regi-
eide during the last thirty years. There have been
wicked rulers who hardly deserved to escape; but
they have often been saved through some inscruta-
BILE design of Providence.

rRE WRECK or THE IDAHO.

IL was one of the boasts of the Centennial Exit
bitlon that no accident of Importance happened
in the conveyance Of vast crowds to and from fhia-
delphia Before that great fair was opened, how
ever. there were not wanting croakers who were
sure that something dreadful would happen on the
crowded railways, and from time to tImesuch gloomy
predictions we're made during the whole Summer or
1875. The experience of that year was proof
positive that in this country, at least, great
masses of pleasure-seekers can be gathered to-
gether from all parts of the Union, may
enjoy themselves fully, and be sent
home again, without any special service Of police
men or ooroners. But the prophets OF Ill are not
easily silenced, and some of them have been shaking
their heads sagey at the long lists OF passen-
gers by the steamers that are now taking
good Americans toward Paris. Let us hope that
there will be no worse disaster to this Summers
travel than the loss of the Idaho, with all her pas
sengeTs safe.
IL is now stated that the steamer sank in fifteen
minutes after she struck. Under such circumstances
the rescue of all board sent ashore upon her boats
is an exceedingly creditabe piece of business; so
good indeed, that it may almost serve to set OF IN
popular estimation, the loss of vessel, cargo and
passengers luggage. But after all, it was GER
tainly very narrow escape. The only ex-
PLANTATION for the mistake in reckoning which
brought the ship too close to shore III rounding the
southeast corner of the Irish coast Is that there was
an error in the compass 1t seems STANCE that such
an error was not suspected beforehand if it really
existed But the fact is that the whole business
of running by compass in fog is risk and
greater one than the majority of ship captains are
ready to acknowledge. In fog, off shore, there is
really only one course of prudence; that u.s. TO take
frequent soundings few years ago, Professor
Benjamin Peirce, Of Harvard, after reviewing this
subject thoroughly came to the conclusion that the
risk of error of vessels sailing by compass and chro
nometer reckoning was the average, fully ten or
fifteen miles.
There is the less for any neglect OF taking
soundings now than formerly, since the method OIL
doing it has been so smplied and improved that 1t
is practicable when the vessel is under full steam
in mid-Atlantic OF course it is possible to
run upon rocks, even when frequent soundings are
taken, but such instances must be very rare. Ii
will not be many years before the charts
will give exact depths Of the ocean on all
the much frequented coasts. With these data be-
fore him, the navigator will have the means of test
ing his reckoning by his soundings, and it will then
certainly be no excuse for shpwreck that the ships
compass had an unsupported error.

P0LITTCAL NOTES.

Anderson is gifted swearer, but he is oyerwork-
ing his talent.
Amateur craftsmanship win be at a discount in
this country for long time to come.
The President never had many friends. but il be-
gins to look if be had one too many-ot the kim.
The Peppery Pitkin is about to bulge again into
the public eye. 1t is privilege his soul fairly aches
for.
Anderson says he once treated Stanley Matthews
to some of the taest swearing he ever heard in his
Office. He is treating the country to taller speei-
men now.
The Hon. E. b. Washburne says he cannot be a
candidate for Congress in Illinois this FALL and does
not approve of the proposition to elect him to the
United States Senate. 1t would be good thing TO
elect him without his approval, then.
The Southern Democrats are said to be engaged
mon an address assuring their section that no at
tack upon the Presidents title is meditated by their
marty. What is the use of declaring that, when
thew refused to vote for resolution binding them
against such attack
General Butler is probably the subject OF moro
curious interest to-day than any other man in
America. Democrats and Republicans are equally
anxious about him. for they know that the whole OF
the rest of the Potter committee together viii not
have so much effect upon its success or failure as
he will.
There is serious talk Of making Caleb Cushinga
candidate for Congress in the With Massachusetts,
District. He is SAID to be in sympathy with the
Greenback movement and his nomination will come
from that party if it comes at ALL He believes the
Republic is in greater danger than is supposed that
the growth of communism Is seriOus, AID that legs
atl0n is necessary for the relief of the business in-
terests of the country.
The first political move in Iowa for this year has
been made. A Republican Convention for the lst
Congressional District met last week. readopted the
State platform Of last year. and after 139 ballots
nominated Mr.. NJ. A. McCOid for Congress. His
chief competitor was ex-senator Harlan, who maze
a desperate effort to get back once more TO pubic
life. Mr. McCoid was backed by the Hon. j. r.
Wilson, who was the moving spirit Of the eonyen-
tiOn.
Governor Bishop, of Ohio, remarks of the Potter
investigation that he does not believe IN 1t. lie
thinks there was fraud in the election of Hayes, but
the Democrats made a contract in the Electoral
Commission, and ne believes in standing by con-
tract 1.-THE thing is done and there is no use IN
irving to undo il. We want rest There Is SOUND
sense in these observations, but the Governors
Jealous critics will charge that he takes this view
because he sees that the fraud issue Will crowd nun
off the Presidential track in 1880.

PRACTICAL, NOT AMATEUR CIVIL SERVICE
RFFORH

Ii seems to be the opinion of General Merritt,
Surveyor Of the Port of New-YOFk, that an execu-
tive officer who makes it his business to enforce
the law Is travelling pretty surely in the
direct line of his duty. That is just
what no has been doing in the way
of estimating weights and allowances on i'm
ported sugars and the fact that the enforcement OF
the law in this single instance will save the Govern
ment a matter Of 100000 year will hardly dis
courage him from porseyering as be has begun Ac-
cOrding to a regulation of the Treasury Department,
issued years ago, certain percentages OF the
gross weight Of sugar, varying with different kinds
of packages were allowed to be estimated as tare.
This was done in order to facilitate weighing, the
merchant still being allowed the privilege
of demanding the actual weight Of the
packages when he considered the schedule
tare too light. and the Government never
relinqushing its right TO claim actual tare, but on
the contrary expressly providing in the regulations
that packages should be weighed whenever in the
Indictment of the weigher the schedule
appeared incorrect. As was natural, i'm
porters rarely failed to avail themselves of their
privileges when it was TO their advantage, while it
has never been the custom of the Government to
assert its own rights in the premises.
This continued neglect has become so thoroughly
rooted as an established usage that the recent en-
forcement of the letter aud spirit of the Statute was
an innovation so startling that it has been met in
some cases by protests from importers, none Of
which have been sustained by the Department.
However accurate the schedule may have been
when framed, the Surveyors vigilance has demon
srated that it is far from being properly adjusted
for the casks and boxes in use to-day, and in the
single month of May tho actual weighing has ro-
duced the schedule tare on sugar by 4OO,-
600 pounds, and increased the Government
receipts by more than $4,000 1t may be we'll to
remember also that in the last four months, I'M
der the new regime, the expenses of the weigher's
department in the Custom House have been
more than $4,000 less than they were during
the corresponding months last year. Hysteucal
Civil Service Reformers who objected to the APP
pointment of General Merritt because he was
"apoitican," might proftaby sit down for an hour
or so in some quiet place and ponder on these facts
