Recently President Hayes APP
pointed James Hill, well-known
colored man, collector of internal rev.
enue for Mississippi, and he was re-
quired to give bond in the sum of
S220,000. The Nicksburg Herald
points to the fact that white men
readily went on his bond for this
amount in order to show that deserv
ing colored men get full recognition
in that State.

Mr.. L. Delmonico has been tell
ing the public the best ways of cook
ing fish. Boiling seems to him the
"most Iegitmate,n as we'll as quickest
and most convenient His direction
is to "put them in cold spring water
the less the quantity of water that the
fish can be boiled in the better - with
a handful OF salt. Rub little vinegar
on the skin of the fish, to prevent it
from cracking. and TO make The flesh
solid. Ten minutes to the pound
should be allowed for salmon, and
three or four minutes for almost any
other kind but Il good general rule is
that the fish is done when the fins pull
out easily" Mr.. Delmonico also says
that broiled fish should be "carefuly
split in two from head to tail, dried,
seasoned with salt and pepper, creased
with little oil (which is preferable to
butter, and broiled to nice brown
color, the gridiron having been pre-
viously well creased, too;' that baked
fish, tn be eaten in perfection, should
be cooked with wine, either white or
red, in baking-dish, besides chopped
onion, salt, pepper and nutmeg, and
while cooking this sauce should he
spread over it several times; and that
small fish may he "deliciously fried in
oil, after dipping in milk and then
flour, or in very hot grease, after being

ALL CASH PRIZES WILL BE PAID IN GOLD

Washington seems to have been favored
with one lucky fellow, as We see that the
recent Louisiana Lottery has apportioned
$4,000 TO our city. We take it for grant
ed that the managers Of the lottery put
each prize where, In their judgment, it
would do the most good and we are rather
glad our large gambling class have some
ground to Justify future ventures, through
this tender Of $4,000 to some roper IN.
Our scepticism as to fair dealing IN this
Southern lottery scheme is enhanced by
what we saw here some years since IN one
of the so called Soldiers Charity Lot
teries," gotten up on a grand moneyed scale
by a lot of sharpers. Though blind boy
drew the prizes from the wheel and an hon
est committee had arranged the drawing
vet the cheating was all done by the man
ayers after the number left the hand Of the
boy at the wheel. Not dollar OF the
prizes went to any charity or to any one
outside of the ring of sharks who had so
shrewdly provided against such diversion
of the funds. We viii wager our head
against a penny whistle that Of all the I'M
mense prizes drawn at New Orleans not
dollar goes into hands than those the man
ayers had in advance determined. Wash
ington accepts her portion thankfully as
we fully appreciate that one should never
look a Gift horse in the mouth"
The rumor that John NJ. Langston has
died of yellow fever gives much concern
and regret here. Next to Fred Douglas he
has always occupied most prominent place
/ in the public eye. He was graceful and
eloquent speaker, fascinating often IN his
words and manner, which IS more than can
be said of Mr. Douglass, and this ellarao-
/ teristie in connection with his position as
member of the Board of Health during is
official existence gave him an enviable no.
tonety among all classes of Intelligent peo,
pie. Though nearly white he never ceased
| to hold himself as a representative OF the
colored man and his best talents were al
ways directed TO the advancement and eie-
vation Of that race by encouragement to
aim higher than to be mere hewerS OF wood
and drawers Of water. He never would
permit himself to be called .sunele"-the
patronizing word extended by all South
erners to negro men-yet he invariably
parried it with good humored jest or quib-
ble. We trust that the report Of his deaf n
is unfounded and that he may be spared
for many years to WELD his past influence
for good among his people. JuNIUs'

OUR NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The city has not been particularly per-
turbed oyer the Conkling tiff. Each got
to call the other some hard names, but Mr.
Conkling managed to put his in rather
more vigorous Saxon than MIR. Lamar and
insofar as that is concerned he came off
victorious. The Majahs, the Kunnels and
the Ginerals which do congregate nightly
round about Willards and the Ebbett are
however sorely exercised, and the code is
discussed by them with all that intense
earnestness which eharacterizes men who
themselves won't fight under any circum-
stances but who are keenly alive to a fight
among Others, whether it be among men or
dogs. The Daily Post opens its editorial
columns for discussion Of the question and
proves conclusively that Mr.. Conkling
must fight or be posted as a coward. So
when the leading Democratic paper and
the fighting brigadiers of our hotel lobbies
agree on one point your readers may set
Roscoe Conkling down as one Of the
white hvered" Northern men who won't
nght, and in flll keeping with the armies
from the North which during the war
bucked against rebel batteries and in
trenchments from here to Texas and never
Killed man or won q battle. You ara
aware that the Union Army never was vic
torious and that every Confederate from
Lamar down to an Ebbitt House Maiar has
slain more yankees than Sampson Slew of
the Philistines, but what is strange is that
every Washington hero who so gfavely de-
termines Mr.. Conkling's position and in
sinuates eowardice has done all his own
Staying with precisely the same weapon
that Sampson used. We are thankful
however, Mr.. Conkling will survive it all.
All the Republicans here are inclined to
think he hasn't lost much in this quarrel,
and further, that there is not Lamar this
side CT Jericho that dares test his mettle in
any other way than the code.

From the brief statement of the objee-
tions Of the President to the bill making
appropriations for the Judicial expenses Of
the government, it is evident that the mes
sage is quite up to the level of tie previous
ones of the same character, which have
won for the President the high respect of
the country. No merely technical obiec-
tions are urged, but the tRo-fold object of
its authors were to nulify the election laws
and to compel the Executive to give his
approval by coupling the nullifying cluase
with one Of the most important appropria-
tions for sustaining the government. As
the President fully approves Of the purpose
and main features of the Election laws, he
declines to consent to their notification,
and be especially objects to the manner in
which it is sought to force his consent. 1t
remains to be seen how the majority in
Congress will act upon the issue thus pre-
sented. It is as distinct as it well could
be, and any further attempt to evade ii
will certainly be useless.

The Leaders Washington special, al
ludes to that little speech of Gen. Garfield,
that brought down the kindness of so
many Of the Southern Members, as follows:
Baker, Of Indiana, had began to oppose
it, when Garfield took the floor, and put
himself squarely in favor Of the Commis-
sion, on the ground that the Mississippi
was by odds the grandest natural object of
the continent, of commercial value to the
nation; that it was the most national
thing belonging to. the country: Of so
much importance, in fact, that one Of the
great arguments used in favor of the
Union in the West during the war, was,
that the mouth of the Mississippi should
not be owned by foreign power, and that
in his belief the solution of the transpor-
tation problem in the end must come by
the improvement of the river and lake
water routes. He was, therefore in favor
Of the commission and in its surveys and
estimates. Another point Of Importance
that he made was an adroit one in favor OF
the doctrine Of Federal nationality and
the power and duty Of the Government to
make these improvements as a nation.
The resolution was carried by only eleven
dissenting votes.
