Judiciary Square.

Senator Morrill,, in his minority report,
dissenting from the majority of the Com
mittee on the Library as to the selection
of Judiciary Square as site for the Con
gressional Library, says:
For the site Of the Library, or for any other pub
lie building, no public reservation should now be
surrendered except for reasons OF extreme neces
sity. Judiciary Square is the only public reserya-
ton in that portion of the CITY, and should if pos
sible, be preserved as such.
He maintains that "the site would be
forever poor one, for which no excuse
could be given, except absolute inability
to pay for better one, and that our pos
terity will never accept"
The irony contained in the following
extract from the report will be keenly
enjoyed:
If ii is really necessary for Us to sell off some
part of the real estate belonging to the Govern
ment in order to enable ii To build much needed
library, then the question arises whether Ju-
dietary Square should not be cut up into building
lots and disposed of at auction. Unquestionably
by this course we might reimburse the Treasury
for the full amount of the probable cost
of the squares east of the Capitol, which
for the site of the great library We are about to
build. But trust to be pardoned for expressing
the opinion that our circumstances do not require
any such extreme measure.
The people of this District have cause
to be grateful to Senator Morrill, for his
liberal treatment of the subject of expen-
ditures for public buildings and grounds,
all of which beautify tie city in which
they dwell. We still hope the bill to in
wade Judiciary Square may be defeated.

The Inauguration.

The grand tee day for Washington,
which occurs once in four We; 5, is the 4th
of March, upon the Inauguration of the
new President of the United States. This
important event takes place in its regular
order on the first Friday of next March.
The citizens Of the National Capital are
fully imbued with the importance of the
occasion in its local benefit as well as its
general significance, and have proposed
a programme, which, if carried out, will
give National character to General
Garfeld's Inauguration unprecedented
in the history Of past installations of
Presidents, and at the same time show
that the patriotic citizens of the
seat of the Government of the
United States appreciate in its full extent
the direct benefit such an assenblage of
people will be to its varied business in
terests. We understand from the Dis
trict committee in charge of the inaugu-
raj ceremonies that it now only needs a
liberal response from our citizens to
make the next 4th of March the grandest
pageant in the history of Washington.
The tickets to the coming festivities at
the National Museum building are linn
tied, and already brisk demand is being
made at the headquarters of the commit
tee to secure cards of admission to the
greatest attractive social feature that has
ever taken place i'll Washington.

The Annnrtionment.

The fact that the Fourteenth Amend
ment provision for reducing the repre-
sentation in any State wherein the ballot
is denied to any male citizen of over
twenty-one years applies to some North
ern States does not close the subject to
further consideration, as some suppose.
The educational and other tests in two
or three Eastern States come within the
clause in question. Is this any reason
why thirty-five members shall sit in the
lower House who would not be there if
the negroes, SO many of whose votes are
rejected or counted out, were not in
cluded in the enumeration of the popula-
tion? Let the law have its way. We
hope the apportionment will 60 over un-
til next session, in order that proper
deliberation may be had On this ques-
ton. Either the black voters must vote
and their votes must be counted, OF they
must no longer be represented by those
who refuse them their rights. If the
election laws can be so amended as to be
more efiicacious, or if the next admins
tration will be on the side of the laws
We have, as no doubt it will, so that cleo
tions will elect, then 10 reduction of rep
resentation need be made. The laws will
be obeyed whenever those who violate
them are dealt with like other criminals,
instead of being treated as the only gen
tlemen in the regions they inhabit

Whitaker.

At last we are to have a man tried for
having his ears slit The offense is a
novel one. He is only excusable in case
he did not sfit them himself. OF
course when one is found in his room
tied, and with his ears slit and bleeding,
the natural inference is that he did it
himself. The natural tendency of people
to slit their own ears on every Opportu-
nifty is well known to some people, al
though denied by others. If, however, it
shall be proven that Whittaker's ears
were slit by some other person, then we
hope he may be allowed to go with
gentle admonition never to have it done
again. 1t was crowner's quest law"
said the gravedigger in Hamlet" that
" if the water went to the woman and
drowned her, then she drowned not her
self" We commend this to the court
