SOUND DOCTRINE.

The speaking ON the confirmation Of
Judge Robertson as Collector Of the
Port of New York, Senator Voorhees,
recently gave utterance to the follow
ing sound words he places the recent
invention of senatorial courtesy"
subordinate to the public good and 1t
is to be hoped that other Dem cratic
senators will follow the good example
of Mr.. voorhees,:
The New York custom house Is as national
in It's proper functions as one OF tho depart
ments OF the government, and the collector OF
customs at New York IL as much nation al
official as member OF the cabinet. great
commercial port, collecting revenue from
seven tenths, perhaps, Of I'll the commerce Of
the American people cannot be regarded as a
mere appendage TO the local politics of a single
state. The appointment OF the collector Of
such port cannot be claimed as n local per-
quiSite for a senator or member OF congress,
like the appointment OF n postmaster. The
people ofOlio Indiana and other great western
states are as much Interested In the admins
tration Of the legitimate business OF the New
York custom house rs the people OF New Yol h
themselves. While regret that the appoint
ment ofJudge Robertson Is not acceptable 10
the senators from New York, yet, believing
him capable and an honest man, and rec
ognizing%he right OF the president TO make the
selection feel 1t my duty TO vote for his con-
nrmation.

There is fresh trouble ahead for
our amiable President. A dark cloud
is approaching to disturb his dreams.
The colored brethren have just made
the shocking discovery that they don't
have their ''righls''-that is that
they must do the voting while their
white brethren take all the Offices.
Without their votes the Republican
party would be in a minority Of at
least one million. They argue and
very logically too-that goodly num-
Der of the public Off ces belong right
fully &c them. They sent"a ldepuda-
tion to wait upon Garfield and ask
HIM what he Is going to do about.
Garfield advised them to hold state
conventions and by concerted action
give form and shape to their wishes.
They took the President at his word.
In Maryland they already had their
convention and decided that they
must have some of therFederal offices.
Another convention will soon be held
in North Carolina with the same re-
suit. The administration may be
Mortified at the turn affairs are taking,
but can not much longer dodge ques-
tion,which the eparty so long eyaded.
Let them face the music and give the
colored man his "rights." The cab
met will likely soon be reconstructed,
and q arlield will have a fine chance
to do the square thing by the darkey.
He might even now withdraw the dis
reputable nomination Of Stanley
Matthews and name some colored man
for S0preme Judge. 1t seems that
they can no longer te happy without
some good fat offices and we hope that
our model President will will see to it
that justice is done to them.

Conklipg Resigns.

On Monday Senate 'Conkling
and Platt created a profound sen
sation in the senate by resigning
their seats in that body. What it all
means is a subject of conjecture.
While Conkling's resignation is
generally considered ridiculous,
that of Mr. Platt is siml ly con-
temptible. After the first spell of
amazement shall have subsided the
country will give a sigh of relief
over the fact that the proud and in
solent dictator of the senate has
chosen to commit political suicide
rather than wait to be crushed to,
powder by the Garfield administra-
tion. Farewell Conkling-The
country congratulates you scn the
best effort of your life.

and the confirmation as simply dis
grace to the senate. Matthews is an
Ohio man, of course, political jobber
and friend of big corporations. He
was the attorney of Jay Gould and the
Pacific Rail Roads, aud did his best to
cheat the government out of his just
dues under the Thurman law, His in
stints, feelings and associations are all
on the side of our monster monopolles
and against the interests of the people.
And this is the stuff our supreme
judges are made of in these latter days.

WAS HINGTON LETTER.

II is believed the Senate will ad-
journ next week. The Presidents un-
contested nominations have been con-
firmed, and because Of democratic af.
affections and other reasons lie will not
enter on such general re-ofEaniZa-
tion of the departments as will make
an extended session necessary. The
nomination Of Robertson will no doubt
be acted on. He will be confirmed.
Senator Conkling comedies this A IL that
republican Senators are looking for now
Is the easiest way in which they can
undo the work OF that caucus at which
they agreed not to act ON that or any
other nomination objected to by Sem
ator. They will not lnd it easy, but
they will get out of the scrape in some
way. The patronage Of an admins
tration its first year Is enough to
make republican Senators do anything.
The taking up of Robertson's case by
the Republican S enators would be con-
sidered if the transaction were one in
business, highly dishcnorable; but it
will be taken up. The people will
have the matter to think over for some
tins before their opportunity occurs
for direct trial of strength between
the administration and the Senate.
That the people will endorse the Pres
ident's bulldozing, or the Senators
surrender is not to be believed. That
they will feel and exhibit disgust at
both is certain.
/ am very glad to-day that there ap-
pears now to he no doubt about the
rejection OF William z. Chandler as
Solicitor General. If the President
PERSISTS in leaving his name before the
Senate for action. The confirmation
Of Matthew's during the week was Sc
cured by Democratic votes, but there
is no Democratic support for Chandler
and there is Republican opposition.
Tha bulk of redeemable fve per cent.
bonds have been "called" by Secretary
Window the holders having the op-
tion Of accepting new bond at three
and half per cent, to run during the
pleasure Of the government.
There is no doubt but very large
proportion of the bonds will be con-
tinued, but few, the holders of which
have failed 70 hear of the Secretary's
offer; and few which are mislaid or
so tied up by court proceedings that
the offer cannot be accepted in time.
The fact that the "extended" bearing
three and one halt PER cent. interest
and issued without authority of Law
command premium, is held to be
conclusive evidence that q three per
cent. bond duly authorized could be
sold at par. Congress will unques.
tionably authorize such bond at It's
next session unless there shall be ser
ious changes in the financial condi-
\ tfuu Of the country.
Mrs. Garfield, the Presidents wife
is not out of danger, though it IS believ-
ed she is better than at any time during
the past week. Her physicians, who
by the way are hOneopathists-now
say that she has typhoid fever. She
will as soon as she has sufficiently e.
covered, return to Mentor for the
summer.

SENATOR MALONE of Virginia, who
weighs ninety-two pounds, is mention
ed by Mary Clemmer as being chiefly
nerve, bone, brains and beard, and
looking like a Bluebeard lilliputian.

bout the smallest piece of flesh that

ACCORDING to Vice President
Arthur the notorious t'Star route'
man, Dorsey, saved Indiana for Gar
field by a liberal application of the
monies swindIed from government by
fraudulent mail contracts. But now
Garfield refuses to save Dorsey from
the results of the Investigation of the
wicked S.ar route business. Hayes
was much more grateful for favors in
that line and took better care of those
who made him PRESIDENT. Wells and
Anderson, the Louisiana Return Board
perjurers, their aiders and abettors,
were all provided with good, fat Offices.

The nomination of Stanley Matthews
for Judge Of the'Suprerae Court Of the
United states, by President Hayes
was considered a blunder but little
short of crime. But Garfield, in full

re nominated him for the same posi-
tion. The Senate judiciary committee
report adv ersely upon the discredita-
BILE nomination and there IL good
ground to hope that 1t will not be con-

The New BiDic-Quick Work.

The new version Of the New Tesla
ment, which has been SO many years in
course of translation, and which is un-
questionably the most important liter
airy enterprise this century has seen, is
being waited for with curiosity and
anxiety by hundreds Of thousands. 1t
is not generally known that first edi
ton of 100000 copies has already been
manufactured in England, and 100000
copies are said to be already in New
York City. not one Of them permitted to
be sold. They are awaiting a telegram
from the authorities in England author
izing their issue. The first copies can
only be had at the extravaeant price Of
$40 per copy. The literary revolution
proposes fully to meet the demands
which it's army Of friends are making
upon it by doing probably the quickest
work in book.making which has ever yet
been accomplished. Arrangements have
been fully made TO put the entire book
into type inside Of "a hours from the
time a printed copy OF the English adj
dtion can be procured, and within three
days at least 10000 copies will be bound
ready for delivery to waiting purchasers,
and at least 5000 copies will DO manu-
featured every day thereafter, until the
demand is met. II will be printed in
large, beautiful type, neatly and strongly
bound in cloth, In volume OF about 500
pages, and sold at the nominal price of
30 cents. A fine edition in half Russia,
gilt top, will be sold for 60 cents, and
one in full Turkey morocco, gilt edges,
for S1.25. or course, the popular de-
mand will be enormous. Orders will be
filed in the order in which they are re-
ceived, with remittance. American

The consolidation of nearly all
the telegraph lines under one man
agement is bringing to prominent
notice the plan TO have the govern
ment take charge of all the tele-
graph lines in the country and man.
age them somewhat as the postal
business is now managed-for the
best INTERESTS of the people. The
experiment of government control
of the telegraph system has been
successfully tried by the British gov
ernment since 1870. Rates for send
ing messages were reduced, and the
consequence was that the telegraph
business so increased that the gov
eminent is reported to have made a
profit of S10,000,000. In 1869, the
year before the government pur-
chase, the number of messages sent
in Great Britain was 100000. In
1880, the number of messages sent
had increased to 26,250,000. 1t is
only question of time when the
American government will have
charge of the the telegraph system
of this country, and run it in con-
nection with the postoffice.

The disputes between the DEM
ocrats and Republicans, for the last
four years, as TO whether the Vice
President or the two Houses of Con-

and decide disputed returns, has re-
Gently been settled in favor of the
Democratic principle, that the two
Houses Of Congress are the judges,
and not the Vice-President. Sever
al Republicans voted for the bill.
Under the provisions of the bill, the
two Houses Of Congress, on Feb
ruary 9th, counted the electoral
votes and declared that James A.
Garfield had received pa votes, and
Winfield S. Hancock had received
155 votes. James A. Garfield was
then declared President of the
United States for four years, COM
