From PosT TO PosT. The Washing.
ton Post like its Pittsburgh namesake,
puts on entirely "too much style on
the Presidential question for the good
of the party. Both these lively party
organs are trying to raise "boom"
for their pet candidates for the Presi-
dency. The Washington organ wants
Seymour, and the Pittsburgh organ
wants Tilden, Now, if the journals
indicated would not manifest SO much
zeal on this point and act as though
there were some other persons in this
country who hold decided views on
this point, deport themselves circum-
specify and await the action of the
Cincinnati Convention, we would file
no objections. Why should we waste
our ammunition by discharging our
guns long before the enemy is in sight
Too much zeal is just as fatal as none
at all. We advise the editors of the
two Posts to behave themselves like
other good Democrats, and not ex'
haust their energies before the cam
paign opens. We hope our brethren
will assume the role of statesmen,
rather than that of fops.

LAWYERS AS EDIroRs. .---One of the
vilest attacks ever made on "the free
dom of the Press" in this country, is
coqched in the following:
"LAsoAsTER, April 4.--J udge Pat.
terson yesterday delivered long opin.
ion on the rules taken on Steinman
and Hensel to show cause why as at.
torneys they should not be punished
for contempt for matter published in the
Lancaster IntelligencT, of which they
are editors and publishers, and their
names stricken from the roll of attor-
neys. The rule Tor contempt is dis
charged, because the misconduct was
not committed in the presence Of the
court, but the rule to debar is made alb.
soute and the names of the respond
ents ordered to be stricken from the
bar, because, in the opinion Of Judge
Patterson, the voluntary assumption
Of editorial duties does not relieve them
from the obligations of their oaths as
attorneys. The action OF the court
this morning was q surprise and cx.
cites great deal of unfavorable com
ment. 1t involves questions Of the
greatest importance to editors and
members of the bar throughout the
State"
Such edicts might pass current where
Bismarck rnles, but they are awfully
out Of order on this Continent. If tn,

An ExcELLENT SUGGEsTIoS.-The
editor Of the Clinton Democrat makes
a corner on the record compilers in
this way: "If the papers that periodi-
cally strive TO break down Senator
Wallace and build up faction fight
with Speaker Randall, would devote
the same time to stimulating their
readers to more perfect organization
and to getting them in the fittest trim to
fight the common enemy, they would
be doing a good to the party where
they are doing it great harm, The
party wants the services Of all its men
working in harmony, and especially
such as these. As to Mr., Wallace, he
is one Of, if not the ablcst man Of the
party, faithful 10 it and fighting for it
at all times--indeed if any criticism
can be made against him, it might be
urged that he has been too much Of o
partisan--and this effort to take from
him his wellcarned standing or to
break him up, will result like Others
before it and prove mere splitting
against the wind" We hope that
the Fourth Warders in Philadelphia
and the Houses OF York, Lancaster
Chambersburg and Pittsburgh will
have the above inserted in their re
spective journals. That letter "a
number ~" literary production enti
tied the New York Sun, might hedge il

tor proposes to be honest with biz

SO VEnY STRANGE,-We notice that
in counties where Don. Cameron and
his father own the Radical party alb
solutely, that some of the Democratic
papers and selfimposed leaders of our
party bitterly assail the reelection Of
Senator Wallace, although there is no
straighter Democrat in the United
States Senate than he is. 1t looks
really as though they were helping to
get the elder Cameron back TO his old
seat. Is the consideration pure hatred,
or cash down, for this conduct

lion. S. :. Cox, OF New York, does
some good with his 'smartness.' Dur
ing the debate on the appropriation
for the pay of electing Deputy Mar
shals there was considerable passionate
assertion ON the Republican side of the
duty of Congress to apprpriate money
for the enforcement Of any law deelar-
ed constitutional by the supreme
Court In the course of the discus
sion, Mr. Cox made a little speech
which gave rise to the following colo
guy gf I
Mr.. COX. Does my friend FROM Ohio remem-
Der the fugitive slave lawi
Mr.. GARFIELD, Yes, and The bred Scott de-
esion too.

out the fugitive slave las by voting money for

Here we find tho simple truth about
this matter brought out All men ad'
nit that, as a rule, Congress ought to
appropriate money for the execution
of existing laws, and all men admit
that, as q rule, appropriations should
be voted without conditions, and yet
the House of Representatives has again
and again refused to make appropria.
tions for objects to which it is opposed.
The Republicans caused an extra ses.
sion rather than vote temoney to the army
without conditions during the Kansas
troubles, Just as the Democrats did
later rather than vote an army bill
misunderstanding the use of the troops

the Republicans refused in Andrew
Johnson's time TO appropriate money
to pay the salary of a Minister to Spain
who was obnoxious to them. The fact
SIMPLY is that, though the rule as we
have stated it is admitted, the majori,
ty of the House every now and then
makes an exception to it, and 1t is
ridiculous to insist that the attempt to
do so is something revolutionary and
unprecedented. Mr., Hawley was frank
enough to say that, if he had been in
Congress when the Supreme Court de-
clared the fugitive slave law constitu-
tional, he would not have voted money
for its enforcement, and yet his refusal
to do so would have been precisely
similar to the refusal OF some Of the
Democrats now to vote money for the
enforcement Of the Federal election
law which has been declared eonstitu-
tional Yet Mr., Hawley was one Of
those who denounced the reasonable
compromise Mr.. Garfield offered and
