THE GENESIS OF THE NATIoN.-A
dispatch from London says: Benjamin
Scott Chamberlain, of London, and
author Of several important antiquarian
works, writes the Times, suggesting a
practical method of giving enduring
proof Of the English good will toward
the Americans, an act which would ex-
ceedingly enrich the Americans. There
is in the Bishop of LondOn's library, at
Fulham, manuscript in the handwrit-
ing of Gov. Bradford, one Of the leading
Pilgrim Fathers. who, in 1920, landed at
Plymouth Rock, Mass, giving the diary
of the proceedings Of the Pilgrims. con-
tanning complete constitution, out OF
which arose the federation now termed
the United States. The document was
captured as loot by British soldier dur
ing the American War Of Independence
from the old Dutch Church in Boston.
As many Americans consider the docu-
ment as the very Book Of Genesis Of
their nation, Mr.. Scott has suggested that
in token of the deep sympathy of Eng
land with America in her national sor-
row, and England's desire to forget the
conflict of century ago, now attracting
attention at Yorktown, England should
present the document, in the name of
the Queen and the nation, to the United
States.

Considering his prominence until
March 4th last. the late Mr.. Hayes, of
Ohio, cuts remarkably small figure in
the political world. His only appear
ance before the public since his retire
ment from the White House was at the
funeral of the late President Garfield !;
the dispatches merely mentioned his
presence. 1t has grown to be the fash
ion in some quarters to mention him as
the innocent beneficiary of the frauds of
others. This is an error He was not
ignorant of the frauds in his interest, but
on the contrary fully aware Of them, and
after his Inauguration, he fastened to re-
ward the perpetrators of them. 1t is
quite safe to say that no prominent man
is less respected by the people than he.
The men who perpetrated the frauds of
1867 should be in equal dIsfavor, but,
we regret to say, are not.

The Philadelphia Press Rep] has this
mysterious paragraph "Gen. Benjamin
T. Butler has written letter declining
to be associated with Mr.. Scoville in the
defense of Gulteau, which is actually a
bid to be asked to defend the assassin of
President Garfield 1t is 10 be hoped
that Mr.. Buffers offer will be declined,
at least for decency's sake. There is a
slight probability that he could save Gui-
teau, but there is every possibility that
his introduction in the case would be
productive of nauseating scandal which
would do great moral as well as political
harm. The country is tired of sensa-
tions, and especially with those connect
ed with the assassination. 1t has no de-
sire to see General Butler, great crimi-
nal lawyer as he is, figure In this case.

The Washington Star thinks more
changes will be apparent in the person
mel of the Senate this year than during
any other single year in the history Of
the government, and says another fea-
ture will be the unusual number Of
young men and Of men comparatively
new in public life. Carpenter and Burn
side are dead; Blaine, Window and
KmkwoOd resigned for Cabinet positions,
and Conkifng and Piatt resigned because
they didn't want to play as things were
going. The places Of almost all these
have been filed by unknown men. and
generally little men. The Democrats
have lost Thurmnn, but with that excep-
ton the substitution Of new and untried
men for experienced Senator's has taken
place almost entirely on the Republican
side. Even before this occurred the
Democrats were stronger men, and as it
is, whatever craftsmanship the Senate
will be able TO boast must come from
them. The Republican party seems TO
have reached the rather remarkable con-
clusion that anybody viii do for Sena-
tor, provided he Is loyal TO party inter

An illustration Of the evil effect Of
reading trashy literature on the youthful
mind is found in the case Of the Arkan-
sas train robbers. A dispatch from Lit
tie Rock states that the robbers" were
simple country boys" who had been
reading dime novels and the accounts in
the papers about the James boys, and,
being poor and in love. they resolved to
rob a railway train. This-thanks to
the timidity Of the passeDgers-ihey
were easily enabled TO do. A seventy
years sentence is long one for such a
crime, but it may. and probably will, ex
ert salulary effect upon other imagina-
tive youths who contemplate similar
schemes for rapidly acquiring wealth.

the railroads Of Georgis, and conse-

In the first place, Colonel Barnett,

for al the prosperity she today enjoys,
and his every ruling was, Ee believe

There is reason to believe that Colonel

A Position Not Coveted By British
DiuIomatists.

II has been rather humilisting to wit
ness the satisfaction with which British
Minister to this country receives the in
telIigence Of his transfer to almost any
other diplomatic post Getting away
from diplomatic service in the United
States By almost any means IS considered
q promotion. But If the hOnors are few,
the difficulties are many. In fact, the
Pan Nal Gasetts calls Washington the
most difficult post in the diplomatic ser
vice, and SAYS: During the present
reign We have sent nine different eaEays
to Washington Of these the late Lord
Dalling can alone be said to have won
Iaurels at his post. The Bulwer-ClAytOn
treaty was certainly q brilliant success,

which often amounts to the same thing.
Lord Dalling was assured that Clayton

representatives Of England have had less

of having done more than any
other man to avert 2 war between
the United States and Great Britain

other ENJOYS, two brothers, namely,
Lord Elgin. sent on q special mission in
1854. and Sir Frederick Bruce. who i'm.
mediately preceded Sir Edward Thorn
ton. Sir John Champion, sent to Wash
ington in 1852, was so unfortunate as to
have to discuss the recruiting question
with American statesmen. In 1856,
some two months after the Russian war,
which led to the dispute, was finally over,
President Pierce came to the determine
ton to discontinue official intercourse
with Mr.. Champion. Mr.. Champion was
consoled with the Z C. B., but did not,
of course, return to Washington, width

THE SOUTHEASTERN SECURITIES
Now is a good time, says the New
York Banker and Broker, TO look into
the rapidly and solidly growing railroad
systems Of the Southeast. A hundred
million dollars have gone into the roads
of this section within the last year, and
have been put there by some of the best
organizing and executive talent of the
world. The field is an empire second to
none OF the same extent in natural re-
sources. 1t is already thickly populated,
and is getting fairly to work again after
twenty years of forced rest. No stock
panics here can long affect these securi
ties, if at all. seriously, for they are held
by men that are able and willing to buy
from the panic stricken.
