The repn blicaus of Washington celebrated
on Saturday evening, in a very spirited man
ner, the victory in Ohio and Indiana. All
the speakers, including two members of the
Cabinet, ~prOphesied an easy victory for the
party in November. On the other hand, an
increasing number of democrats of Indiana
and Ohio write to the congressional commit
tee in this city that the republicans will win
in those states only after a determined con-
test, and that Indiana is net conceded under
any circumstances.
Postmaster General Maynard directs that
hereafter, such of the dead letter office mail
as is made up of magazines, pictorial papers
or other acceptable second class matter, shall
be turned over to the charitable societies of
the District. Heretofore, it has been sold as
waste paper, and although considerable in
quantity, has yielded a very small sum to the
government.
Most encouraging reports have been recelv-
ed as to recent contributions towards payment
of the debt on the Metropolitan Methodist
church of this city. A contribution of $3 by
each Methodist society in the country would
give all that is required. No doubt is now
felt of complete success. his Is the churcn

The commissioner of agriculture claims
that the experiments he is now making in
this city proves that good sugar cali be made
in paying quantities from sorghum. But the
commissioner is one of the most sangulne OF
men. The process employed in his expert
ments are different from those known to the
thousands who have attempted to accomplish
the same thing.
All democratic Virginians in this city-and
there are legions of them-say the "funder'
| democratic electoral ticket will not be with.
drawn, no matter who may ask that it be
done. They think, however, that during the
week some arrangement will be made so thai
all democrats will vote for a single e~lectora
ticket, though none of them profess to know
any of the terms of the compromise which
they expect to be made. There would seen
to be very brief time left for any agreement

of printing and binding expense was never
q matter of bitter controversy until the
printing of the Globe was transferred from
the contractors therefor to the Government
Printing Office rs u measure of well-cluci-
dated economy, aud that too, against tic
wish and protest of the Congressional
Printer, who anticipated measure of the
trouble that has grown out Of the change
Up TO the time of that transfer everything
went smoothly as between Congress and the
public printing and binding but immedi-
ately thereafter the discounted contractors
made bitter, INSCRIPTIONS and unprinci-
pied war against the Office and its manage
ment, which has been remorselessly contin-
ued down TO the present hour, and which,
no doubt, will be protracted so long rs
Senators and Representatives in Congress
will lend their ears to the cnrpings, COM
plants and misrepresentation of those who
seek to share in the profits of this vast busi-
ness.
This condition of things reflects no credit
upon Congress. 1t has instituted investi-
CATION after investigation at great expense
to the Government. 1t has examined the
establishment through and through repeat
edly. It has summoned witnesses who
have not always told the truth, but whose
wild and dishonest statements have goue
on record without afIording an opportunity
to explain or robut them. And yet with
all this array Of injustice and unlainess,
the most skillful of these Investigators
have never thus far been able to establish
a solitary act of corruption, thieving. or
dishonesty on the part of the management
of the Government Printing Office during
all these years of persecution, and yet the
war continues under the instigatiOn OF
those who seek to share the profits OF this
large business which are now secured to the
Government. This is all there is of the
milk in this cocoanut The extravaganza
of Congress in ordering printing and bind
ing is made to serve as lever for over
turning the machine in the interest of job
bers.
National Republican., 1880-03-15
THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

The annual fever over the public print
ing has again broken out in Congress, and
is raging with its usual delirium. The
costs money to do the printing and binding
for the National Government, and it is all
done at the Government Printing Office
now; and further, that as the business of
the Government and its printing and bind
ing isincreased largely, it does not seem prac-
ticablo to perform this augmented service
without increased appropriations. Congress
does not seem to appreciate the fact that
paper, ink, binding material and labor all
require money for their purchase and that
these expenses must inevitably increase
Just in proportion as the orders upon the
Government Printing Onice are enlarged.
This thought does not seem TO have made u
lodgnent in those excited minds which are
now wrestling with 80 much ardor with
this problem. This is unfortunate alike
for all concerned, and only has a tendency
TO increase the fever and its delirium.
The Lawmakers do not seem to appre-
ciatc the fact that Congress holds the key
to this whole matter, II is alone response
bic for the great bulk Of this expense which
is now arTayed as complaint against the
Government Printing Office, which, under
the law, can do no printing and binding
that is not ordered by Congress, and cannot
refuse TO do whatever it shall order, pro-
yidcd there is an appropriation therefor
Under such circumstances IL rests with Con-
press to determine whether the public
printing and binding shall cost the Govern
meut more or less. Hence, if II will have q
large amount of printing and binding done,
il is but just and manly for it to provide
the money needed therefor, without this
constant carping and grumbling about a
matter over which it has full control. II
Congress will only order less printing and
binding it will cost less money, and that i,
the gist of this whole matter.
This difficulty arises in great degree
from the coyetousness Of those who desire
to break up this system that the printing
and binding Of the Government may be-
come the prey of jobbers and contractors
Indeed, the great mass Of this printing
trouble centres right there. The question
National Republican., 1880-03-15

The present postage rates paid by the
leading daily journals of the cities, which
compel the publishers to pay postage on
their circulation in advance, was piece
of spite on the part of members of Con-
gress who had suffered some from rather
free criticism of their official conduct one
time or another by them. 1t was a meas
ure of retaliation and nothing else from
which these journals have been suffering
ever since. This spite work is unbecoming
statesmen, who know that these postal
rates are heavy tax upon intelligence
Common justice demands that all news
papers should pass through the mails free.
