IN HIS celebrated pronunciamento, pub.
lishcd in the Philadelphia Record Of Satur-
day last, the Attorney General declares that
" the services of Ben Butler were secured ="
las counsel for the Star-Route defendants)
"because he was the confidential adviser of
men prominent in the Credit Mobilier cases,
and, it was thought, would be able to scare
some one!" This is the only instance where
the Attorney General refrains from men,

cause of his influence with Blaine Shel.
labargcr and Wilson because of their influ-
encc with John Sherman, and Totten be.
cause of his influence with Corkhill. But
when he reaches out for Ben Butler, in his
preliminary abuse of defendants counsel
the Attorney General mysteriously says he
was retained because of his supposed ability
to "scarc some one" Why does the At
torney- General suppress the name in this
isolated instance? Who is his some one p

THE Washington correspondent of the
New York Graphic informs the public that
feeling of general disgust pcrvadcs the
people who have dealings with the Depart
ment of Justice. He goes so far as to say
that the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, popularity
known as Acknowledgement of the United
States, has such unreliable methods of doing
business that it is next to impossible to OBJ
tain any reply from him to questions of
grave public Importance. He further
charges that the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, who referred Il matter to him
many weeks ago, with the request that it
receive immediate attention, as important
Government interests were at stake, cannot
obtain hearing in court. Further that
the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh is chiefly occu-
pied in transacting his private law matters
for the benefit of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. We don't encourage this attempt
to get legitimate work out of Wayne Mac.
Veagh. He is required by the law (salary
$4,000 per annum), to look after the inter
est of large corporate institutions, and cover
the citizens of this country with calunny
and abuse. 1t is simply discretionary with
him whether he attends to the routine work
of his office.

In A LOCAL PARAGRAPH concerning the
Secret Service Division, in THE CRITIC o
Wednesday evening, the reporter indulged
in some reflections of his own upon cx-Chiel
Benson, Of that Division. We desire tc
6lsayow this reflection and also to notify
Mi parties interested that II is not and will
not be the custom of THE CRITIC to per
nit the introduction of either reflections
upon ipdividuals, or opinions upon topic
into its pews reports. With tho persona
controversy between Brooks and Benson
we have nothing to do. Mr.. Brooks ap
pears to have remarkably soft thing, and
we do not wonder that he should dislike Il
be disturbed. The lot of the Brooks family
would seem ~ be u happy one.

IT IS PROPOSED to present public testi-
monial to Major Wingfield, the inventor of
lawn-tennis. The very much uscd-up
Lord Dundrearys and constitutionally
fatigued Coldstreams should really wakcn
up sufficiently to open their pocketbooks in
gratitude to the genius that found them
"wcally something to do-ah." Lawn-tennis,
besides this providcntial service to a society
suffering from safety, has been beneficial to
the public as furnishing new and popular
manufacture during period of remarkable
depression in trade.

RUSSIA is SUFFERING from an embar-

enough to observe that there were very

by this means became, II is supposed, the
veritable discoverer of the most ancient

small chap can read Quentin Durward he

The TOWN of Dortmund in Germany, is
certainly entitled to take some kind of a
cake as furnishing an absolutely unmatched
incident. A young man lost his watch, and
believing it to be stolen, applied to the
police. These vigilant detectives discovered
the watch in the possession of the young
mans betrothed, who confessed to the theft,
urging in her own defense that she had in
tended to pawn it in order to obtain the
funds to purchase her wedding dress, which
she had no other means Of buying. Upon
this confession, in open court, tho astonished
but gallant lover called upon the judge to
set tho girl instantly at liberty and he would
marry her then and there.

IT IS PLEASANT to be informed that the
direct mail service between the United
States and Brazil, which was recently dis
continued by the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can line Of steamers running from New
York to Rio, is to be restored next month,
but it is a British line which will perform
the service. This is an outrage on Ameri-
can institutions. This contract should be
given to the Baltimore line of fiat boats.

ONE OF the greatest of our American
humorists dedicated book to his mother
in-law. He solemnly asseveratcd that he
meant no joke, but that he did it as token
of gratitude and affcctionate respect. The
jibe upon the mother-in-law has become
rather stale, and it was never very profit
able, for 1t is difficult to understand just
why it is particularly crcditable to hus-
band that he should inevitably and natur-
ally find his worst enemy in the one person
who is most interested by the laws of nature
M his wife's happiness and prosperity.
Good rules ought to work both ways, and
from this aspect the incessant warfare upon
the mether-in-law is at least littlc--Odd.
