snated in some way Indeed, the apprehen
sion of a violent death is said so to prey upoi
him that fears are entertained lest IT sinai
drive him mad and shorten his days. 1t rem
ders his existence perfectly miserable FOR TN
| relief aud benefit of the Car we kindly sus
/ gest to him that there is very simple methot
for him to escape from the dangers by whIcf
he is surrounded and the constant anxiety BY
which he is oppressed. Let him abdicate ant
come to this country. The ass1ssns woui'
then have no further occasion to flre at hlm o.
to blow up the train by which he travels
Among the stores in this town that are for sal'
and are enjoying liberal run of custom, there
is Tom. Sykes. If the Car would buy Tom
store and give strict personal attention to the
business, he could easily make an excellent
living. His thoughts by day and his dreams
| by night would then no longer be disturbed oy
fears of some deadly attack. He might the1
live to a great age, and die an easy, natura
death, and if he were honest and soclabie, ne
would. after death, be spoken of as good
| fellow, worth dozen Emperors.

THE numerous cases of breach OF
trust and embezziement which have come to
| light within the last two or three years are a
melancholy part of our current history. Many
| of these cases have excited establishment be-
| cause fraud was so little to have been expected
4 from men of the good standing and supposed
exemplary morals of the perpetrators. We
4 suppose the commercial community VIII at
length learn that distrust and not conhdence is
the only safe business rule, and that all persons
| in fduciary position should be required to
give bonds large enough to secure the owners
| of the property against loss. If there Is a
| bright side to the recent gloomy pictures of
embezzlement and misappropriation of funds
| it is to be found in the absence of such scandals
| from the administration of the Federal Govern
ment The Government, besides collecting and
disbursing an annual revenue of between two
hundred and fifty and three hundred million
dollars has made gigantic transactions in loans,
and during the last three years there has not
| been conspicuous case of defalcation or en-
| bezzlement by any Federal officer. AT time
when we have so many painful and startling
disclosures of private decentralization We should
not fail to recognize the remarkable integrity
which prevails in the administration OF the
National Government. We have never had an
Administration which deserves higher praise
in this respect than that of President Hayes,
and all honest men should feel a sincere pleas
ure in paying it this just tribute.

THERE are indications at Wash
ington that the present session of Congress will
not be allowed to pass without the regular at
tack upon the tariff The lobby, we are told,
is in full force at the Capitol and the chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee is believed
to be exceedingly friendly to the scheme of a
revision. Without dsputing the fact that un-
der the law as it now stands certain articles OF
manufacture are undoubtedly over-protected, it
is nevertheless true that the business of the
country, as whole, will, so far from being
benefited, be seriously injured by an agitation
of the subject at the present time. Millions OF
dollars are now seeking Investment i'll the le-
gitimate channels of trade, and Congress should
not by a mischievous agitation of the tariff
interfere with the operations of capitalists and
others who are looking around for enterprises
in which to obtain return for their money.
The Presidential year is always more or less
injurious to our business interests, and the
party in power in Congress will make a serious
blunder if it unnecessarily and wantonly enters
upon a discussion that there IL very little like
lihood will be followed by any beneficial re
suits. The policy which Congress ought to
pursue is to pass the bill of Senator Eaton, of
Connecticut, providing for commission to con-
slider the whole question and submit basis of
action for both houses. If this is done the
country will be gradually prepared for what
ever changes may be made and nobody will be
injured. If the Democracy is wise it will let
the tariff severely alone until at least the Pres
idential election is over.

The latest proposition in Congress
for the mental and moral improvement of all
our citizens without distinction of race, color
or previous condition, emanates from the tecund
and philanthropic brain of q North Carolina
statesman. Fresh from the pine woods and
sand hills of his native State he has come to
the conclusion that the only thing necessary to
complete the happiness of his own constituents
and of the balance of his fellow citizens is that
they should be enabled to read daily that unique
and wonderful compilation of the wit and wis
dom of Congress called the CoagressiOnr II
Record With this laudable object in view he
has introduced bill providing that in future
there shall be sent tree copy OF the Record TO
every citizen of the United States. We are
heartily in favor of this proposition and hope
+, that it may be passed as soon as possible.
There will be little expense attending the
scheme, to be sure, but in view of the great
benefits to be obtained it is to be hoped that no
cold-hearted and economically inclined Con-
gressmen will interpose an objection. In the
first place. taking the vote for President in 1876
as the basis of calculation, it will be necessary
to print and distribute each day SILL, 1876 copies
of this most precious of documents. The paper
at ten cents per pound will cost about ten
thousand dollars daily. Only about two hun
dred and ten fast presses, costing on an average
twenty thousand dollars apiece, or about four
and one-quarter million dollars in all, will be
required TO work off the edition in time to
catch the mails A regiment of stereotypers, a
hr;oade of folding clerks will have TO be called
