No country-and least OF all q growing

and the printlng-press have been inseparable
companions in the work OF National develop
ment-can afford to tolerate such tax upon
knowledge, or countenance such check upon
education. 1t is not hostile TO the spirit of the
age. but iIreconclliable with the policy OF the
Republic Into this Issue no question Of pro-
lection OF free trade. pure and simple, ought
to enter: for although the manufacture OF
paper. like tina. OF iron or STEEL Is an industry
worthy of being fostered, its stimulation Is
matter of trifing concern compared with the
stimulation OF tie intellectual energies of the

made subject to duty OF 20 per cent ad val

stop altogether to importations OF dried pulp,
and TO give the makers in this country a mo-
nopoly OF the article through process protected
by patent which does not expire until 1884.
The pulp manufacturers-among the most
prominent OF whom, il should be noted, are

Cincinnati Commercial.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Admitting that Gen. Grant, citizen OF the
State, is personally above reproach is the fore
mo st man OF the times. is honest, upright, in
corruptible, and that he has added immeasur-
ably to the fame and character OF America
they yet resolve to humihate him in his own
State, and put upon him the modification that
awaited Washington, that was prepared for
Lincoln. and that seems destined to be made
ready for every man who deserves well of his
country"
Now. why should Gen. Grant be Inundated
il he Is not a scrambling candidate for the
Presidency. Is he such Serene Hghness
that lie must not be treated according to the
custom of the country with other citizens when
they are candidates for office? Frankly, with
all due respect for Gen. Grant we do not want
anybody cultivated in this country so lllustri-
Gus and quite so awfully exalted that he cannot
be spoken OF without whispering humbeness.
Washington, he should follow Washington's
example. He is being driven to the slaughter
house.by gang OF the worst men who have
cursed the country, and 1t is high time he knew
it. They profess to be his friends and champ
ions, and to have his glory especially under
their guardianship. In fact, they desire to
utilize his great name for their own political
purposes. II he allows them TO be hucksters
OF his reputation, so much the worse for him.
He might, upon returning from bis voyage
around the world, have settled into the posi-
ton OF our First Citizen; but the Senators
who praised ali his faults aud got him into
trouble when he was IN power, thought there
was speculation in him,-and they are de-
termined to enjoy the usufruct Of his fame.
These Senators pretend to be Republicans.
They are Monarchists. Why, the greater part
Of monarchy is the continuity OF rings of
plunderers. Opportunities to steal officially
from the people are hereditary under the sys-
TENS OF Royalty. That Is the thing precisely
sought in the third term. The rest refers to
matters OF ceremony, Formally, and decora-
ton.

Correspondence OF The True Northerner.
An extension OF the Congressional Library
seems to be necessity. and we may expect, at
no distant day, to see another magnificent pub
lie editce in Washington, designed for the &C
commodation OF the vast accumulation OF books
that are now crowded on the shelves and piled
are in the library 175,000 volumes, while there
is only shelf room for 100000, leaving $4,000
volumes TO be piled on the floor and stuc!: away
N hooks and corners. In addition to these vol
umes there are 120 900 pamphlets and over g.
600 bound volumes OF newspapers, besides a
large number OF valuable maps and charts, all
Of which have to be packed away like dry goods
in crowded store. II the library was not in
charge Of an exceptionally able and efficient IL
brauap, It's utility would be almost wholly des =
troyed. Such thing as a retired corner or
desk where person can quietly examine au
thorties and make notes is an impossbihty.-
The boxes Of books which are being cons family
received have to be opened under the very feet
of visitors to the library. One-fourth OF the
books are not provided with shelf room, and
when they are called for whole stacks must be
overloaded ana dark recesses ransacked. The
want OF proper accommodation for books is
causing the destruction Of great many, and,
on the score OF economy, better accommoda
tons are demanded.
The Senate has been the more active house

amendment to the bill authorizing retired list

diets annually to West Point, was debated with
some animation General Burnside favoring it

Boar objected to embodying race discrmina

five instead OF TWO appointments, leaving the
President free to make them OF any color he
pleased. Mr.. Conkling seemed inclined to stop
making any more white appointments until the
black mans past exclusion from West Point be
amply compensated. The Kellogg debate was
resumed, and the Indian bill passed.
The Ways and Means Committee continued
work on the tariff bill yesterday, nearly finish

upon the measure. Members of the committee

will be adopted on Saturday and reported to the
House early next week for early consideration.

ON TIE SUBJECT OF FISH.

A correspondent enquiries what Fish Com
missioner Parker is doing in the way of stock
ing the Nevada streams with fish. We are
unable to answer the question. Mr.. Parker,
we believe, is new in Carson, and will, We
doubt not, give all necessary information.
The last Legislature made an appropriation
if we are not mistaken, of 81 900 fer the pur-
pose of 6sh propagation in Nevada What
portion Of the amount has been expended we
do not know. The catfish pat ia the Carson
river and washse lake are supposed to be
doing well, and we believe that ssms of eur
anglers have succeeded in catching these fish
both in the river and the lake. The salmon
deposited in the Truckee about year ago
have not yet been heard from, but the expert
ment will most likely be found successful
one, and in a year or two we expect our
piscatorial friends will have fine spert in
salmon fishing in the Truckse. Would it not
be well to try the experiment of introducing
carp, white fish and cells in the Nevada waters !
The carp, which is healthy, fast growing fish,
furnishing a solid meat of geed flavor, has
been tried with excellent results in California,
and We see ne reason why it should not
flourish here. The same may be said of the
white fish and the eel

THE CHINESE QUESTION IN New York
The New York Tribu3e makes the following
editorial remarks concerning the results of the
recent election in San Francisco: "The Chi
nese shall not 60. So the people have decided !;
for the crushing defeat of the sand-ot party
in San Francisco indicates change of popu-
lar opinion which will doubtless prove greater
elsewhere. If the people have once decided
otherwise, they are sovereign, and exercise
their sovereign rights in changing their minds
The assertions from the Workingmens party
must have been very numerous and will des-
troy its prestige. If the citizens are firm and
make good use of their advantage, the election
will prove the beginning of the end of Com
manism in California. The whole country
may rejoice at the result in San Francisco
The Chinese question is one for the whole ma
ton, and the hoodlums of one State have no
business to attempt a settlement of it. 1t is
especially fortunate at this time-when the
Administration proposes through the Envoy
Extraordinary to reach new readjsstment CT
our treaty relations with China-that the tri-
umph of the Chinese over the sand lot gives
reason to believe that the sober second thought
of the people is resuming sway.

CONCERNING the new Radical senator from
OHIO, the New York sun says that the election
of De GoIyer Garfield as the successor of Mr..
Thurman in the Senate forces into bolu relief
most significant coincidence. Garfield was
one of the brfbed members of the House,
caught with Credit Mobilier script in his
pocket, issued by the Pacific railroad ring.
To Mr. Thurman, on the other hand, belongs
the special credit OF having carried through
the only law by which these rich and over
grown corporations ara called to account
These corporations furnished the money
i'll ohio to beat Thurman, anil the returns
from ~ counties, hitherto regarded by both
parties as close, prove conclusivcIy that they
followed Cakes AmeS' advice In putting the
cash where IL would do most good and that
their efforts were directed, first of all, to the
Legislature. If the other counties in the state
had done nearly as well for them a. this dis
puted ground. Fosters majority over Ewing
would have run up TO 5000. These great mo-
nopoiies and rings have now secured an open
advocate on the floor of the senate. whose
vote and whose voice they can always COM
mand.
TWENTY-FIVE ii ited States senators go out
