Effects OF the Paris Exposition Or
American Products.

New YORK, March 2S.-A priyat letter re-
cciyed here yesterday from Rome contains
the following: 1.-The American locomotive
that was on exhibition at Paris last year
has been making tour through France,
Switzerland, and Italy with the most bril-
liant success. 1t attracted great attention
at all places where we stopped, and drew
large crowds. The trade in American coal
is growing steadily. A negotiation is now
pending with one party for one hundred
thousand tons, and will probably be con-
cluded. The frstcargo was shipped by the
Pride OF the Ocean for Marseiles, and ar
rived in January. 1878. and the most of it
was sent from there TO Genoa. Since that
cargo there have been twenty-one ship
meEts-cight OF them going to Genoa. and
the rest TO Trieste, MarseilIes, Cadiz, Bilboa,
Bordeaux. Alexandria, Leshorn, and Havre.
Italy is, and probably will be, the best mar
ket. All who have tried American coal are
well pleased with it. and the indications are
favorable for fine trade. The Paris En-
hibition did a great deal towards popular
zing American products"

THE NEW DISTRICT COMMISSIONER.

We are in receipt of several acrimonious
communications crticising the appointment
of Major THOMAS p MORGAN as Commis-
sioner Of the District, for the alleged reason
that he is not n sound Republican. We do
not regard it just to precipitatcly preiudge
Major MORGAN in his new official position.
The President has made this appointment
no doubt in the full belief that the ap-
pointee is sound Republican and will de-
velop that political Characteristic in the
discharge of his duties. If he does not dis
appoint that expectation either with the
President or the public, then he should es.
cape criticism. By his works we shall
know him, and hence it is but fair that we
should wait and see what fruits he is 10
bear. If his administration does not bear
Republican fruit, then the President will
have favorable opportunity five months
hence to correct an evident error by putting
a Republican in his place. Let us be pa
tient and work no unjust prejudice in this
instance We shall watch and wait for the
developments that time will bring and not
judge too hastily lest we may judge wrong
fully.

should have been prematurely published in
full text in New York or elsewhere, inas-
much as it was generally understood that
unusual precautions had been taken to Sc
cure IL against premature publication; but
1t has been plundered and published pre-
maturely, and it is very difficult to coniec-
ture what is TO be done about it, One thing
is very evident-the only safeguard to per-
feet Withholding of any public document of
importance from the public prematurely
resides with the author, and that in it's
being transmitted to Congress or any other
department of the Government to which IL
relates, in manuscript. Then it becomes
public property, and all alike can have 1t
without resort to larceny or something
equally infamous TO obtain it. 1t may be
regarded as matter of enterprise TO pilfer
public documents, and so it might be re-
garded in the practice of larceny TO obtain
surreptitious possession of any other article
of property but such practices square
badly with the principles involved in
proper respect for the rights and property
of Others The moral standard of the press
is vastly lowered when it resorts to such
cxpedients in the prosecution of enterprise,
for they break down and trample upon the
distinctions between meam ct tium, and
in such practices it virtually declares to the
world that there is no respect to be observed
in regard to public documents, which are as
much the property of the author until
transmitted to the public through the prop
erly and legally-authorized medium, as his
coat or his boots. For this reason the press
cannot countenance this pilfering Of public
documents to be published in advance, any
more than it can applaud plunder and theft
in any other shape. 1t may be regarded MS
n stroke of enterprise, but it cannot be de-
Tended on any principle of right, and the
result will be that as u measure of safety
all documents addressed to Congress will
be hereafter transmitted to that body in
the manuscript. This will be the inevitable
result of this unbridled spirit of depreda-
| tion.

fixed principle for the purpose of winning
the succession to Senator WITHRRs' seat.
But so long as there is o possibility Of a
repetition in Virginia Of the experience Of
the Abolitionists in Ohio with Mr. CHASE,
just so long will it be the duty of the Re-
publican mombers of that Legislature to
stand by their colors and their candidate,
defying and rejecting all offers of n COM
promise with the Opposition In short, it
is their plain and bounden duty to act as
Republicans until the end and to accept

their strength to the support of MAHoNE,

IT is matter of history that SALMON
p. CHASE was once elected to the United
States Senate from Ohio over several Oppo-
sition candidates when the majority of the
legislature was almost solid against him
when, in fact, he had only two votes in his
favor at the beginning Of the contest. Those
two votes were the sum total of the force
of the Abolition party in that body, but
served the purpose Of nucleus for the
gathering Of victorious strength. In the
Virginia legislature to-day the Republicans
have twenty-six votes ns against the divided
Democracy-a sufficient strength, it will be
admitted, TO enable them to make them
selves felt in opposition TO the candidates
for United States Senator of either or both
of the Bourbon cliques. Aud they also en-
Joy the advantage of having for their choice
for Senator two such unexoeptionable men
as General WICKHAM and DIR. SMITH, either
of whom-and especially the former
is capable Of rallying TO his support the
better and truly conservative elements oi
the Democratic membership. 1t is true
that they are both bitterly opposed on ac-
count of their Republicanism, by Democrats
of all and every kind, but not more so than
Mr.. CHASE was by his opponents And it

THE Democratic press throughout the
country seems, for want of something
better to do, to be trying to raise an outcry
against the Secretary of the Treasury, by
attacking his eminent brother, the General
of the Army. These papers charge that

thing printed in their organs must be
Gospel truth, we would state that General
SHERMAN 49, great and simple patriot
that he is-knows full well that any at
tempt TO garrison troops in Washington
would be strongly opposed and frowned
upon by both parties; also, the General is
too well versed in the laws to commit the
blunder Ito call it by the mildest term,
though harsher one would be more ap-
plicable) of attempting to divert from its
