THE New York Tribune thinks that the
bones of A. T. STEWART are not worth
either the 100000 which they ask or the
S25,OOO which has been offered for them. The
mausoleum in the crypt, the cathedral itself,
the cathedral schools for boys and girls, the
theological seminary, the see-house, the
chapter.house, the endowment fund and all
the other institutions that are planned in
this comprehensive scheme of diocesan and
Christian work will be memorials to the
great merchant whose career of usefulness
has ended. His ashes may be scattered, but
his memory will live in the magnificent
works which his widow and his lifelong
friend have undertaken in his name.

SOME of "the boys" connected with the press
in Washington have been picking at the vet
eran, A. NJ. Clapp, editor of THE NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN, and taunting him especially with
being old. But Mr.. Clapp has shown them
that age has not withered his wit to any great
extent or deprived him Of the power to hold
his own with the youngest and most audacious
of them. In "A Word With the Boys" after
reminding them of the fate that bciell tho
little children who mocked at Elisha as he was
journeying unto Bethel, he remarks: Now
these modern youngsters have two chances of
escape from the doom of those of Bethel
first, because the bears may not be ut hand ;
and secondly for tho reason that if they were
they would require these chaps to wash up
and be clean before they would enter upon
their sacrifice, and that would afford them an
opportunity to got away. 1t is to be hoped
these youngsters may mover grow old, and UNI

never WILL" 1.-THE boys" had better let Mr..
Clapp alone until they are older and wiser

A VICTIM of the flogging-laws of Virginia
was recently whipped in public on being
sentenced to the Jail ofChesterfield County,
in that State, and was to have received
more lashes at a later period. Meanwhile
it was proven that he was not guilty of the
crime alleged against him. But he bears
upon his back the scars of this unjust and
shameful punishment all the same. The
State through its barbarous laws has done
him most grievous wroug-one that it
cannot undo, but which should serve rs an
argument for the repeal of this most in

THE Charleston Nccs md Courier is sound
ON reputation in Tennessee. 1t says:
The funded and registered debt of the State
amounted on December 81, 1873, 10 about $751;
100000. This includes all sorts of obligations,
upon the bulk of which the State is unques-
tionably liable on every principle of honesty
and honor. The very Capitol in which the
Legislature sits, and where the fight for repu-
diation is now being vehemently fought, was
built with money borrowed from the creditors
who trusted to the good faith of the State, and
whose trust it is now proposed to betray.
Many years ago tho State purchased the
famous Hermitage" tho residence Of its
greatest citizen, ANDREW JACKSON, and holds
it in perpetuity in honor of his name. But
The Hermitage" was bought and paid for in
borrowed money--money lent by capitalists
whom it Is now proposed to defraud. The
railroads and public highways Of the State are
all of them monuments to just the same story
they have been built with money borrowed
upon the guarantee of State bonds which are
now to be repudiated. Tho whole affair is so
disreputable and disgraceful that it is hard to
see where even plausible excuse can be
sought for the outrage which is contemplated.
1t is simple, unblushing, determined dis
honesty.

WE are assured that the statement made
some time since regarding soldier who
had been recommended at the War De-
partment for a positio II by Senator LOGAN,
and had been disappointed after positive
promise, was under misapprehension of
the facts. AS the statement made was on
the authority of the disappointed soldier,
it is possible that we were misinformed,

SECRETARY EvARTs has not, as stated in
some of the newspapers asked the aid of
foreign governments to prevent the emigra-
tion to this country of Mormons because
they believe in the peculiar tenets of that
faith, but only when there is contemplated
an offense against the law of 1862, which is
directed against bigamy. The comfy of
nations requires that every power shall en-
force its laws to the utmost to prevent the
emigration Of persons who intend to COM
init crime against the laws of a friendly
government All that this Government
intends by its circular is to ask powers
that are friendly to put in operation their
laws against persons who intend coming to
this country with the purpose of commit
ting bigamy. The only part that Mormon
ism plays in the matter is that the religious
belief of that sect does not excuse from the
penalties of the statute. Foreign govern
ments have been notified of this fact, in or
der that their people who may embrace
this religion shall not come here with the
mistaken idea that this Government over
looks the offense when committed under
the guise of religion.

THE Democrats are now hopefully pre-
dieting that the SPRAGUE scandal is to
materially damage the Republican party in
the State of New York, but they do not
know what they are talking about In the
first place the Republican party is planted
on principles so elevated, patriotic, strong
and enduring that no mere personal lapse can
affect them or the Republican cause at a
time when the country is looking TO it for
the preservation of the Government from
the hands of rebels and traitors. In the
second place if Senator CoNKLING was ten
times as guilty as is alleged by his enemies,
that should bring Democratic cstrength to his
side, for the offenses charged against him are
among the things that are most held in
respect and admiration, and most practised
by the Democratic leaders and followers, with
few exceptions, or they, like the Senator are
greatly DETAINED, So, we apprehend, the
Democrats will derive no especial advantage
from trading largely in the sPRAGUE scandal
