Our pre-Adamite friend, the editor of the
Deer Lodge paper, is a candidate for the
sympathy of the m race. He seems to
belong to that number whose follies do not
cease with their youth but who are ignorant
in spite of experience. 1t is very sad. In an
issue of the MINER last week we compared
the language of a man recently arrested for
abusiveness, to that which occasionally ap-
pears in the chaste, elegant and erudlte col
umns of our decrepit Deer Lodge cOtem., the
editor of which. in his simple old age, takes
offense at our remarks. The old man there
fore enters a feeble rejoinder in which he
raves incoherently about the cheek of gov
ernment mules as though he were writing an
autobiography. He winds up his unhappy
string of platitudes by advising us to t'choose
themes that we know something about, which
is probably a typographical error. He
doubtless intended to say, choose themes
that know something, as he is perhaps not
DESTROYS of having people acquainted with his

Notes from the National Capital.

General Burnside, if he had been a skilltul
politician or a good speaker, would have made
great capital out of his Monroe doctrine res
oltion a year or so ago. The resolution, it
Will be remembered, reatiirmed the right of
the United States to prevent any foreign gov
eminent from obtaining a foothold upon this
continent, Just now, in connection with The
great activity of De Lesseps IN the preliminary
work upon his Isthmus canal, there is a good
deal of feeling in Congress. While there is
no disposition to have the United States pay
for any work of the kind, or guarantee any
thing more than protection to any American
company which may undertake to bald Il
canal or construct a marine railway arl oss tie
lsthmus, there is almost a unanimous wish in
Congress to stop The prosecution of any such
work by a foreign company. That wish will
SOON take the form of u very vigorous resolll-
ton which will pass both houses, aud OF re-
neweh efforts to interest American CAPITALISTS
IN the canal or railway project, o" in boil. Of
them.
1t is not far TO make an argument against
the Irrational banks because they ask. os
some Of them ask, for an extension of the
powers they have under the presen laws. but
the request is subject to criticism. remem-
Der well that the Freedman's bank, of unsav-
DRY memory was ruined because, among
other things, it was allowed to depart from
the originally prescribed course and invest
some Of its money in real estate and in other
ways. At first it was confined to the bonds
of the United States. The present request OF
the national banks is that they nay invest
one-fourth of their 'surplus capital in real
estate security. The House committee on
banking and currency yesterday reported far
vorably on a bill permitting this. am sure
there ought to be, and will be, objection to
any UGH measure. If the government must
depend OH banks of any kind--and must give
them national c~ountenance-it will! do we'll
to put around their operations all the safe
guards possible.

MORE FRIENDLY.

A Paris correspondent of the San Francisco
Tall in speaking of the social relations exist
ing between the French and German residents
of the French Metropolis at the present time,
says: LAS a proof of what a change has
taken place since 1870, the resident Germans
in Paris. numbering some 10000, and mostly
in mercantile and industrial pursuits, intend
to found, Or rather re-establish, a weekly Va
terland organ. There is not a restaur in
the city but half a dozen Germans can be
found jabbering away in a loud amer; the
French merely look at them in silence; but
the Jews and Samaritans never mix. l think
a good deal of the smarting Of the wounds
from the invasion has ceased first, from the
proud resuscitation of the French and their ro-
bust prosperity contrasted with the sufferings
of Germany; secondly, the French nurse the
idea that Germany will in time offer Alsace to
them for a few milliards. Only the very hot,
headed talk about the Rhine being still made
the boundary of France. Between the two
countries there is the struggle who can beal
longest the financial strain of bloated arma
ments. Every year of peace that France en-
joys represents an enormous accession to he
strength and financial power. Yet NJ. Littrt
invites his countrymen to become the first q
second class nations"

HAVANA, Feb. 12.-Gen. Grant and party
sailed this afternoon for Vera Cruz on the
steamer City of Alexandria. The same
authorities who received the General on his
arrival here accompanied him to the steamer.
The party spent one day on the plantation of
Los Canas, and left there last night, starting
from La Union station at 10 o'clock on a
special train. Half an hour later the engine
struck a COW and the train vel off the track,
luckily without serious consequences, the
fireman being wounded. The train was on
an embankmeI.t ten feet high at the time of
the accident. Thu passengers had to wait till
three o'clock for another train, and arrived in
Havana at six o'clock this morning.
