The transitions of temperature in this city
have been startling during the heated term

Department regarded in SONG quarters with
a feeling of uneasiness IL not OF distrust.
On Wednesday it impossible to inspire
the Fourth and Eleventh warders with tho idea
that there a cold coming. Even when the
rain down late at night the sidewalks aud brick
walls returned their latent heat in the shape of
steam and in the tenement districts there little
relief. Later on the change became more decidedly
perccptible. Yesterday morning the western breeze
inviting. When the red countenance OF the sun
showed itself above the eastern horizon IL
greeted by host of babies in arms babies of tho
creeping order and babies of larger growth. The
breeze became = small gale, and hats and bonnets
were dotted out of respect.

through its last stages just In time to prevent the
disbanding of the Army; and to take the votes on
supply.
During all this contest there have been angry de-
bates. personal squabbles. scenes, mock
speeches on one side, futile efforts to en-
force order on the other side, divisions
without number. sttings lasting all night, pas
siOnate alterations, and every dlsreputable incl
dent short of actual violence that can attend pro-
longed Parliamentary conflict. The Government
had a majority which any test vote
generally rose above O hundred, and never
fell below sixty. The obstructionists might
muster, when their ranks were fullest,
sixty seventy votes in all, aud they frequently
divided the House in some of their most obdurate
contests with mnOrtlcs oi four or five. These hg-
ures more eloquent than words. Government
numerically so powerful as this, which yields to
minority of such character and dimensions as this
obstructive minority, is an incapable Government.
One might find an excuse for such Government
/! it yielded on one measure or another of legsla-
tion whether good or bad measure. But it struck
it's flag to men who meant, and who boasted that
they mean. to make all legislation impossible.
There is another side to the history of this ses-
sion on which have said something before, and on
which | cannot now dwell. The Government
have brought Parliament into dscredlt, not only
by want of ability in the conduct OF business
within the walls of st. stephens, but by withdraw
ing in great measure the wh h,le foreign policy OF
the country from the control and knowledge of Par
liaInent. In every important matter or foreign
policy Lord BeacOnsield and his satellites have de-
termned what should be DONE They have refused
10 admit the country its representatives, TO their
councils until it was too late for remonstrance or
opposition to alter the of events. The
Berlin Treaty, the Afghan war, the Zulu
war, the Egyptian troubles, have all been
dealt with in accordance with Lord Bea-
cousfed'5 views, save so far they were modi-
fed by expressions of popular feeling Public meet
ngs and the public press have had more influence
than Parliament has had. That, however, was as
true of previous sessions of this, and the STAN IS
one which belongs to this whole Parliament rather
than to the last SIX months. 1t is the triumph of
obstruction which will make this session memoir
able and it is the impotence OF Ministers in the
House of Commons which has made that triumph
possible. q. w. s.

TWO MODERN DROMIOS.
THE MISTAKES WHICH SIMILARITY IN NAMES oC'



CAsIoNs.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUSEI
WASHINGTON Aug 29.-Ihere two men In
Washington who for years have been like two
Dromios crossing each other and cOlliding in bsi-
ness and personal matters, to their mutual inc0n-
venionce. Their names are respectively William
Bowen Moore and William Bennett Moore. The
former comes from Urbana, Champaign County,
Ill., and the latter from Urbana, Champaign Coun-
tv, Ohio Some years ago both these gentlemen
became prominent officials in the Treasury Depart
ment, and then their mutual troubles began. The
one was Chief of the Supervising Special Agents,
aud the other Deputy Fourth Auditor. Mail
matter seemed always to reach the wrong
Moore first, and official and family secrets became
common property. When Speclal-Agent Moore left
the Department, two three years ago, he felioi-
tated himself that in the long run he was point
ahead of his namesake. The son of the latter had
sent from Norfolk to his father a barrel of excep-
tionally fine oysters which fell into the clutches OF
the wrong Moore, and before the error was dis
covered they had been deyOured. The troubles
continue.
Recently. Deputy-Auditor Moore received a let
ter from a person in Ohio, who ia said to be the
private secretary of General Ewing, requesting, IN
familiar terms, some information which the writer
asserted would damage the political pros
poets of Secretary Sherman. Deputy-Audltor Moore
is not in that business and caused the letter to be
forwarded TO the eXSpecial Agent BY some means
its contents became known to an enterprlsng West
ern correspondent. and were published IN OHIO,
much to the chagrn OF both the writer and the per
son to whom it addressed EX-Special-Agent
Moore now threatens dire vengeance against the
Deputy-Auditor Moore for the betrayal of his Sc
cres and is said to have taken legal steps to secure
his punishment. The Deputy-Audltor, Il man OF un-
impeachable veracity, declares that he has no
knowledge of the manner 10 which the contents OF
the letter came to light, and the correspondent who
published the letter asserts that he never knew the
Deputy Auditor III connection with the llatter.

WASHINGTON Aug. 29.-The Star of this evening
SAYS, IAN officer of the House of Representatives,
who has been visiting Long Branch, Saratoga and
other places where politicians congregate says that
he Is satisfied that the drift of sentiment among the
Democratic leaders is fast being crysalized III
favor of Mr.. Tilden's nomination for the Presidency.
This Is not because he is popular, but because it is
thought that he is the strongest candidate to lead
the Democratic Presidential ticket. The same

States Supreme Court, has hopes of the nomination,
and has now his agents on the Pacific Coast and in

THE DEBT-SHIRKING PARTY.
AN ISSUE ON WHICH THE SOLID SOUTH Is
VERY SOLID INDEED.

HOW THE CONFEDERATE BRIGADIFRs ARE A" GETTING
EVEN" WITH CREDITORS WHO FAVORED EMAN-
CIPAHoN AND HELPED TO SUPPRESS THE RE-
BELuoN HOW, MOREOVER. rHEY HAVE
PLUNGED The SOUTHERN STATES INTO 1Ha
BoTToMLgss PIT OF FINANCIAL INFAMY.
1t is not \ pleasant task to recite the history
of financial dishOnor made by the Democracy
of the Southern States within the last forty
years, and chiefly within the last five or six
years but it would be idle to dispute the inn
portance of the facts which are here brought
together from trustworthy sources. No State
in the Union can break faith with its creditors,
and repudate its obligations, without doing
an injury to every other State, as well as to
the Nation itself. Yet with a single exception,
every State which engaged in the rebellion
has repudiated the whole OF a part of its debt.
This is a matter which Americans should read,
mark, learn and inwardly digest. Not onlydo
the losses to creditors and the damage to the
material prosperity of the repudiating States
themselves assume appalling magnitude, but
the sense of shame for the financial dishOnor
thus wrought becomes overwhelming. IL will
appear from the details which are to be
set before the readers of THE TRIBUNE
In series of articles that the losses
sustained by creditors under the vari-
GUS forms of reputation adopted in the
Southern States amount, in round numbers, to
about s272,OOO,OOO, the reputation of past
due interest and the forced reductions in the
rate of interest under certain "readjustment"
acts being included. If the repudiated NUM-
cIpal debts of the South were added this
amoant would exceed 100000, 900. 1t
il estimated that SsC,GOO,OOO of these
losses are sustained by foreign capitalists.
sI5O.OOO.OOO by Northern creditors, and
the remainder by Southern holders of the
securities of the repudiating and defaulting
States.
