WILL they dare to adjourn to-day?
DR. CHANDLER and Dr. THURMAN will
now proceed to shake hands.
THE last ditch is ut hand and the Bour-
bons are looking hesitatinGly overits brink.
A PROCLAMATION reconvening Congress
on the Fourth of July would serve as an
explosive celebration of The Day.
SECRETARY THOMPSON begins TO be anX-
ious about his farm, fences, and crops in In
diana They need looking after, no doubt
SENATOR THURMAN is little nervous
He has heard that TILDEN is tampering |
with his fences in Ohio He should hurry |
home
THE Buffalo Express thinks that the title
of Doctor of Rebels ought to have been suf-
ficient for Senator CHANDLER, without maxi
ing him Doctor of Laws.
JEFF DAVIS is still hunting for n recon-
structed woman in the South, and that he
may not be suspected he has resumed the
dress in which he was captured
Mr. BoRIE, who has just returned from
General GRANT, says he will not seek q
nomination. OF course not. He would no
doubt prefer not to have it; but the will of
the people is law with him. He will sub
nit to it.
THE President is ready with his veto of
the little judicial bill; but the Bourbons
Rre not ready for it. 1t will be thrust upon
them some time to-day, and they will be
as unprepared for it as if they had never
dreamed of such possibility.
SUNSET Cox is said to have been in NOR
tai terror ever since the discovery of the
murderer of Mrs. HULL for fear that some
one will congratulate him upon the addi-
tional distinction thereby shed upon his
family name. 1t is'..to be hoped that his
sensitive feelings may be respected
TIE quarrel between GLOVER and SIM
GLEToN leaYes the poorest possible chance
for taking sides. They are probably as
nearly matched in point of contemptibility
ns any two men possibly can be--both be-
ing far below the respect of decent people
as men and statesmen.
THERE seems to be but little left of Civil
Service Order No. /. 1t is stated that Sec
retary SHERMAN is to do little stumping
in Maine after Congress adjourns. lie will,
of course, look after his fences and crops in
Ohio before September is over. Civil Service
Reform may now be counted among the lost
arts.
A SOUTHERN man is just as good and as
much to be respected rs a Northern man, so
long as he behaves himself as well and re-
spects the laws of the country and the rights
of his fellow citizens but when he becomes
contcmner of the laws and tramplcs
upon the rights Of others he can neither be
respected nor trusted. That is just what
makes the difference.
IT strikes us that the press generally and
Congress in particular has been wasting
more time in discussing GLOVER aud his
suuelched report than the deiunctness thereof
would seem to warrant. Both GLOVER and
his discoveries are so dead that they have
even ceased to smell bad When he was
s.,.I a 4, al TO cr,t tba,
all allusion to the Democrats he had
Caught" there was nothing left to print.
THE South may as well make up its mind
TO one thing, The next national Admins
tration will be "Stalwart' beyond ques-
tion. The people will be protected in THEN
rights and the Southern States will become
happier and more prosperous than ever be-
fore. When the people are allowed to rule
peace, prosperity, and happiness will return
to every bull-dozed State. This isan estate
they should fight for rather than not Sc.
cure it.

ellie COWier-JOuna,
This statement increduous reader l.
made in sober-well serious-eornestness
by HEE-RYE WATTERsoN, our Bo-peep, thu
author of the project to naugurate TILDE,
with the aid of 100000 unarmed lamb.
Evidently HEN-RYE's ideas of women ant
lambs are little warped, as II were
A SUNDAY cotemporary expresses som
surprise that the people of Washingto
seem TO be inert with regard to the locatio
of our city post-ofice. Inertness, it shoul
understand, is the normal condition of
people who have no voice in the conduct
public affairs, The people Of the District
Columbia and the government which
placed over them have been handed over
the caprice of those who pay no taxes IN
