THIS is exactly the kind of weather in
which Democratic Congressman are sub
feet to malarial attacks in Washington.
Everything is frozen up tighter than a drum
out Of doors, and the atmosphere is as clear
as bell. But in doors the hot Scotch
smokes and steams with frightlul mortality,
Verify, the Capital should be moved to some
place where our Democratic brethren would
escape the iuhicton Of that kind Of smoke
aud steam.

Now the Democrats in their anxiety to
create a sympathy for Hamburg BUTLER,
who occupies the seat of Senator CoRnGN, of
South Carolina, have started Cock-and-
Bull story that some one has been trying
to prosecute Senator CoNovER, or black
mail him into voting TO oust BUTLER The
tale is very Transparent and If Mr.. CoNovER
has any regard for his reputation he will
see to it that his so-called Democratic
friends put an end to this constant use of
his name in connection with such disrepu-
table affairs.

The $1OOOOO,0OO of gold coin accumulated
in the sub-Treasury in New York to meet
the emergencies of Resumption remains
practically untouched buried in the Gov

few months ago predicted The failure of
Resumption? As JAY GOULD said, Gold

IT is evident that some one is at work,
after the style of Mr.. WHrrTHoRYE and the
Naval Committee, manufacturing prema-
ture reports of Mr. FlNLEYs investigation
into the affairs of the Government Printing
Office, As the investigation is not yet
closed, it would appear that no final conclu-
sions have been reached but this will make
no difference to the class of slandercrs who
are always on the hunt for some ec part,
libel against Republican officials.

IT appears that The Awful JENKs fright
ened the POTTER committee out of New

that they could find out something OF any

they arrived they became frightened at the

THE Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times says of FGNLEY's forth
coming report on his investigation of the
management of the public printing and
binding, that
Ii will allege that money has been drawn
from the Treasury and not accounted for to the
extent OF at least three quarters OF million OF
dollars since 1869.
IT is safe TO say that The Washington cor
respondent of the Times who has given cur
rency TO the above statement has either
been misled or has uttered deliberate slam
der against the institution to which it re-
latcs. Nothing of the kind has been made
to appear in proof nor does anything Of the
kind exist in fact. 1t is not possible for the
| Public Printer ever TO be accountable at any
time for a sum exceeding two-thirds of the
amount of his bond, which is less than
| 100000. And to show the absurdity of the
above allegation, the predecessor of the
/ present incumbent has the official evidence
in his possession that he has accounted for
every dollar aud cent drawn from the Treas
ury during the period intervening between
| the years 1869 and June 1, 1877, when lie
closed his relations with the Office The
Times INDUCES the following editorial re-
marks relating to this subject:
OF the outcry about the frauds in the Gov
crnment Printing Office in Washington there
/ is little evidence upon which TO base an opin-
| ion, but the present establishment is entitled
to the credit of being the most competent and
altogether the most satisfactory that the coun-
try has ever enjoyed, and Congress will make
mistake if, because Of individual cases OF
rascaiity in the Office or Of violations of civil
service rules 50 common in other branches OF
the Government service il shall change tho
system now prevailing. There is concern in
Washington which has waited for years lol
such an opportunity and stands now, as ever
with a large lobby aud plenty of money, in
readiness to take the job out of the hands o
the Government aud to restore the old private
monopoly.
