Why 1. W. Harper's Nelson County

Mrs. Belva Lockwood desires to be Min
ister to Brazil. The arguments adduced
by her IN support Of her petition are, how
ever, more ingenious than convincing. She
argues that Brazil is monarchy, and
monarchies have. from time immemorial,
seated women on the throne, and have
granted them places according to their
crank without stopping to the narrow
policy of some would be republics. That
may be true, though Mrs. Lockwood seems
to have forgotten the Sale law. But this is
question, not of thrones, but of the dip
lomatic service, and therefore she ought to
have shown that women have been selected
for such posts heretofore. To demonstrate
this would be difficult, for it may be
doubted whether woman ever occupied a
diplomatic Office since the Queen of Sheba
went on a mission to the court of King
Solomon. Perhaps Mrs. Lockwood is pc
cularly fitted for diplomacy. No doubt
women have been and still arc very useful
in some departments of that service, and
in fact are frequently quite Indispensable
It might, however, be awkward for the
resident Minister to undertake all these
duties, ana probably the result would be
dubious. On the whole Mrs. Lockwood
had better stick to her law practice, al
ways provided that there is anything of it
for Lec To stick to.

POOR GENERAL GRANT.

Some of General Grants malignant en-
emies are constantly bounding the unfor-
tunate man, and doubtless would make his
life miserable, were he not Fundamentally
phlegmatic, by the wicked lies they circu-
late respecting him. He cannot go any
where but these people instantly invent
some preposterous story as to his inten-
tions, and they are careful to attribute to
him projects of the most ridiculous char
acter, no doubt with the deliberate purpose
of bringing him into contempt. The latest
fiction of this kind is to the effect that he
is pining to become filibuster that he
is going to Mexico to put himself at the
head of rebellion against the regular
Government and that he is ambitious to
procure the independence of Mexico.
Apparently the inventors of this prepos-
ferrous fable believe that Mexico is still
under Spanish dominion. Ii they know
better it is difficult to understand what
they mean by talking about its indepen-
Q6UCS, hS&LCp to-uay 10 independent,
and is a republic. Under what pretext
should General Grant head rebellion
there? Are the public expected to be-
heve that after devoting his best
abilities to the defeat of the Secession
movement in the United States, he pro-
poses 10 go to Mexico expressly to head
Secession movement there? Really this is
altogether too clumsy an invention even for
amusement. 1t does not appear to have
occurred to the fabalists, either, that if
General Grant should head a secession in
Mexico, and should be taken by the regu.
lar Government, hewould be liable to beshot,
out Of hand, and that our own Government
could not interfere to save him. There
are some indications Of a disposition in Ger.
tain quarters to bring about bad relations
with Mexico. 1t is the old story of
Naboth's vineyard over again. But SO far
these attempts to fire the public mind and
to create a sentiment in favor of some ini-
quitous raid upon our peaceful neighbors,
have produced no response, and we believe
that they will have to be abandoned. As
regards General Grant, we may be sure

HOW OLD STORIES TRAVEL

On the 25sh OF December, 1879, the
RECORD UNION published among its corre-
spondence very interesting and graphic
account of several incidents in the life Of
the famous James Bowie. The account
was written by an eyewitness, and signed
with his initials A few weeks ago this
story began to crop up in the Eastern
press, and after going the rounds, came
back to California, and has been reprinted
in scores of papers on this coast. There is
nothing new in this to journalists, but the
law of the periodicity of old stories is
nevertheless enveloped in obscurity
thus far. At what appear almost regular
intervals these things reappear, go the
rounds of the entire press, and then vanish
until their turn comes again. Some dis
appear for several years, others for only a
few months. We have heard of an in
stance in which a paragraph, which had
been buried for half century, suddenly
started ON a new career. The subject has
never been studied scientifically, but it is
full of weird kind of interest, to news
editors especially

TEB STAR MAIL FRAUDS.

Eyideutly we are about to receive a
shower Of star mail contract scandals, and
from what has been already discovered in
this connection we may judge that the
shower will be heavy. Star mail routes
have hitherto presented peculiar facilities
for fraud. Distance and the absence Of
supervision have been powerful tempta-
lions, and have not been withstood.
There is no reason to doubt that the Gov
eminent has been plunderei very heavily
for several years past in this branch of the
mail service. and it is quite possible that
when Tor If the whole story is made
public. there will be damaging exposures,
not only in the Postofiice Department, but
in Congress. Postmaster. General James is
doing good service in uprooting this cor
ruption, and as he has already removed
Brady, who is said to have been the most
powerful friend of the ring, the presump
ton is that he intends to make thorough
work. It could be wished, however, that
some heavier punishment than mere
deprivation of the opportunities for
stealing could be visited upon the chief
culprits, for it is an undeniable fact that
plumber OF the Government is certain to
be considered venial offense SO long as

does net involve the degradation of 4 Q

,ess of the lower classes abts as they are,

ness of the lower classes able as they are,
and know they are, to swamp all the decent
elements by sheer force of numbers at an
election it is no wonder that the
Bosses should laugh to scern the
1nyectives of the press, and rest securely
in their omnipotence. The plain truth is
that the government of New York is a rob-
Der government, and that the people there
only retain any of their property on suffer-
ance. There are no laws capable of
restraining the real rulers of the city, and
every year only makes it clearer that they
are beyond the reach of popular vengeance,
and superior to the feeble popular reform
capacity, let it do its utmost. All that
the public can do is to complain and
objurgate, and complaint and objurgation
do not affect the thieves in the least degree.
Is there any remedy for this intolerable
state of things? Is it proof OF the failure
of democratic institutions? And if it is
not, how is it that every popular effort to i'm
prove the situation Las ended in collapse

ADULTERATIoN.

The Chamber of Commerce of San Fran
cisco has indorsed the proposed Congress
sional laws against adulteration, though
not without resistance. More than one
member objected to the proposed legisla-
ton on the singular ground that it was
calculated to letter commerce :" the
inevitable inference being that the manu-.
facture of shams OF various kinds ought to
be regarded as legitimate. In cases of this
kind, however, abuses are certain to bring
about their own rectifcation, and for the
simple but sufficient reason that when once
adulteration has been discovered those
who have been practising it are compelled
to choose between return to honest
methods and the total sacrifice OF their
trade. To prohibit adulteration by law
therefore is merely to protect honest
traders, and to prevent the discraditing
of a national commerce through the rascal
ity of few knaves. We are glad to
note that most of the members of
the Chamber of Commerce were free
to express their opinion that adulteration
was rascality, and that 1t ought to be
shown no quarter. That is the only spirit
in which the question can be proftably
treated, in fact. Congress cannot pass too
stringent laws against adulteration, and
the only real cause of apprehension is that
it will be lobbied into declining to pass any
laws. Legislation is the sole recourse of
honest merchants and manufacturers at
present If that fails them it is plain that
in few years the export trade of the
country viii be seriously crippled, for it is
perfectly certain that our foreign custom.
ers will emphatically refuse to be swindlei
when they have once detected the methods
by which they have been cheated in the
past. Honesty is the best policy, and, in
truth, the only successful policy in trade,
and this is always found out after every
roguish device has been tried and ex-
ploded.
