orr VOLUNTEERS.

We prefer not to take sides strongly in
the question between the Washington Light
Infantry Corps and the National Rifles, aris.
ing over the action of each before Congress
last week, because il is much better to point
out the lesson that anything like squahbes
or misunderstanding between organizations
in the same place having common object
can only so ON from worse to worse and in
jure both hy arousing contention or dis
gust in the community upon which they
rely for support The boating interest
here has suffered greatly from lust such
dissensions as we are now deprecating, II
the Light Infantry consider themselves and
the people of the District alike aggrieved, as
they undoubtedly do, they can bespeak JUS
tice by maintaining a reserved and dignifed
attitude, especially when the facts are so
we'll known, The action of the Rifles, we
content ourselves with observing, inight pos,
sibly have been different if time had been
allowed for reflection. A courteous request
to the senior organization, (who no doubt
considered themselves justified in taking
lls lhllldlNo ny tHcil loilS leVpIu ana nlgn
standing,) to be allowed to share in
the burdens and the credit of the
proposed entertainment at the Museum,
could scarcely have been declined. Or at
least, had such a request been declined, the
Light Infantry would have been placed be-
fore the public in an unenviable light, very
similar to that in which the Rifles have been
placed by the inconsiderate action of the
gentlemen who, by their letter to Senator
Logan, have made the projected reception TO
visiting military organizations impossible.
There has been much heated talk by the
many warm personal friends of both COM
mands, which it is not necessary to preserve
in type. We think We express the voice of
the great body OF the citizens in begging that
personal feeling be dropped or confined to
individual members, and that the liLlic
action at least Of these two fine companies
rise superior TO such considerations.

There is a degree ofincompatibility between

TIE NARLNEY.

The Cabinet which was formally an
nounced yesterday, but which had already
been accurately made known by the news
papers, will he regarded as very polite and
by no means weak in its composition. Its
most salient Characteristic is that it is neither
Blaine, Conklng, nor Logan Cabinet
but that it comes as near rs possible TO an
equal division of honors. The President
has so nicely balanced the various elements
that he win be likely TO satisfy the party of
his intention TO deal fairly with all factions,
while holding himself in position to play
them of against each other and provide for
his own denomination in 1854. The Cabinet
is thus the work of an experienced and
acute politician, and will be well received
by the country. How these various elements
will work together is another question. The
friction does not come so much over these
appointments as over those which must he
made later on. Most of all, the new Cabinet
shows that Mr.. Garfield means TO he the head
of his own administration.

A Plea for Simple weddings.

In all ceremonials there is great deal in
fashion, and 1t occurs to that II few people OF
consequence would set the fashion OF simplicity In
marriage ceremonies, they would be doing great
service TO the community. In many memorable In
stances the higher classes have afforded noble ex-
ample by leaving instructions that their funerals
should take place without pomp or parade and already
the good results which have followed funerals
among the middle classes being ms rule much more
simple than formerly, aud consequently, to our mind,
much more solemn. Births, deaths, and marriages
three events In human life usually classed to-
gether, and which the slatistcian records, and the
politician notes; but marriage the only OF the
three in which the chief actors are voluntary and
conscious agents. Surely It is the most solemn act OF
man woman. and properly considered, is little
allied to pomp and festiyity. Think what 1t is To
assume. In n large measure tho responsibility of
another's happiness and future well being And this
is really what In marriage may he said TO do
Surely solemn impressive ceremony with simplicity
OF attire Is more In harmony with the occasion than
much pageantry and festivlty, Chambers Journal

SOME slow moving journals that generally

it sounds strange to see the New York Hcraid
speaking of the banks as follows;

that the National banks (no matter whether with ur

extent they please, carrying the rates Of Interest up

concede that the banks acted In selfdeiense without
combination, that would not disprove the power Of
