RECENTLY we took occasion to lecture Mr..
Moody on the rank Philisiinism Of some remarks Of
his about the theatre. We ars glad now 10 express
disbelief In the atrocous story going the rounds
OF the press which is In brief that he uttered publicly
the sentiment that his "grandmother In hell. ("
This was evidently for tic purpose Of bringing In the

PRESIDENT HAYES gets and perhaps lays
himself open to plenty of contumely but 1t seems fair
to say that such sentiment the following publicly
expressed, lin his message to Congress the Ponca

'tive at the time when the wrong was committed,
'am deeply sensible that enough of the responsibility
for that wrong Justly attaches to me to make 1t my

Mr.. CHARLES NoRpHorp summarizes the


argument IN favor Of Senator Pendetons bill bring
the Cabinet Into Congressional debates as follows:
That In the early days of the Government Cabinet
ocers did personally appear In the sessions OF the
Senate and House to make explanations OF public
business The report remarks very truly that n
Cabinet ofncers are allowed and may be required to
take part In debate In the houses matters within
their departments this will force the selection OF able
men for the Cabinet. but more than this II would
greatly expedite public business. II, for instance,
Secretary Sherman could have taken part In the dis
cussion Of the Funding Bill In the House he would
undoubtedly have brought order and system out OF the
chaos which prevailed there and the House would have
adopted valuable Funding BilI. To allow and re-
quire Cabinet officers to take part In debate will
the present and very evil tendency TO transact the
public business In secret committees instead Of In
public. 1t Will make debate once more valuable and
fruitful In both houses and II will add very greatly
to the influence Of the party IN power. supposng that
party 10 possess able TO formulate and TO defend
policy. The present system. under which a Cabinet
ofcer makes reports In writing which never read,
appears privately before a committee 10 give his
opinions, Is fraud upon the public, because II
hnggermuggers the public business and prevents the
formation and the Just influence OF public opinion.

A CONTRIBUTOR sends us the following
f,ta

Marshal Ney's dead horses at Waterloo were no
myths the military critics to the contrary Dotwth-
standing. In letter published eight days after the
battle the Marshal says:
"Gen. Friant was struck by ball at my side;
had my horse killed and was thrown under him, about
4;45.) As to myself constantly In the rear
guard, which followed on foot, having had all my
horses killed. Toward II o. clock In the eyeI-
Ing found Lieut.. Gen. Lefebre DesnOuettes, and
Maj Schmidt Of his officers had the generosity to
give me the only horse he had remaning,''
The letter was an answer 10 the calumnies which
appeared In the public Journals after the battle cr-
cIzing his conduct during the campaign. The total
loss OF the allies during the 10th, 18th, and 18th
less than 25 900 out Of force OF at least 5o 600 men,
greater than Gen. Meade's loss at Gettysburg and
less In proportion t0 the number engaged.

merely reduce the aggregate of appropria-
