1t IS only line 6et,1esn st. Paul, Min

the disagreeabls changes from one car

the Only Line To And From Chicago

ffty-six columns. The Friday-inaugu-
ration day-issue will, contain COM
plete history of the ceremonies attendant
upon the Inauguration of all the Presi-

Washington to President Garfield. 1t
viii give complete list of the military

with a full history of each, and the per-

The Saturdays issue-double sheet
will contain an elaborate account in COM
plete detail of the ceremonies and incl

will have a full graphic description ofthe
grand inaugural ball, with mention of
the guests in attendance, the ladies'

contain a full presentation of kilograms

With the new, clear, and bright typo

that The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN in its

most complete and attractive newspaper
ever published in the National Capital.
The edition of THE REPUBLICAN will
probably be larger than has ever before
been published in the history of Wash

Yesterday in the Senate Mr.. Eaton,
from the Committee on Foreign Relations, reported
back sundry bills and resolutions recommending
the construction of ship canals or railway across
the Isthmus. He said the committee asked to be
discharged from the consideration of all these SUBJ
ects thinking that the time has not yet arrived
whsn Congress should express its opinion in regard
to any particular route or manner of crossing the
ISthmus. The request of the committee was COM
piled with.
Mr.. Whyte, from the Committee on Printing, re-
ported back the House joint resolution for the
printing of 100000 copies of the Agricultural Re-
port. Passed.
The Senate speedily disposed of the morning
orders and. under the order giving precedence to

took up and disposed Of number of such bills to
which no objection was made. The following
were among those passed: For the sale of the little

be needed, and, where necessary, be en-
forced by the police. But lest any one
should feel dissatisfied with what may be
readily obtained in the way Of relics, he

THE cold, old story" of trouble be-

another illustration in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn. 1t appears that Mr. Beecher,
who possesses little musical taste. but has
strong convictions that he does-not an
uncommon illusion, by the way-has en-
ployed a new organist without consultation
with the brethren or the choir. In con-
sequence, there is discord on the floor,
whatever sweet harmonies may be evoked
in the organ-ioft. But Mr.. Beecher, as
usual, mas his way.

IT SEEMS now that all the states are
broken. After the Democratic papers
have so often settled the Cabinet ques-
ton it is rather grievous matter that
they should come at last to the confess
sion, not to put too fine a point on. it,
that they were lying. Well, with some
papers news and lies are synonymous
terms. But the country has cause for
genuine congratulation in the fact that
the Projectors were wrong. 1t is plain
indication of the strength of the new ad-
ministration that General Garfield has
not allowed himself to be cajoled or
wheedled into stating his purposes in adj
vance Of his action. He has resisted the
first onslaught of friends and fatterers,
and may be relied On as master of his
own mind and of the situation.

The opinion seems to prevail that it does
not entirely answer the purpose intended; !;
but it approaches it SO nearly that it is
very probable that Improvements will

Relic Hunters.

A recent number of Punch gives an
illustration of the mania of that crazy
class of people known as relic hunters.
One of them has secured the nose from a
marble figure, and upon the protest of a
bystander that it must have ruined the
work of art, says in response: But, my
dear fellow, see what valuable addition
it is to my collection" Perhaps it may
be well to point a moral with this story.
A great many people in thiscountry have
this paltry weakness for relics" or
souvenirs" No doubt there will be
some such among our visitors.
To these only are the following words
applicable. Pictures of our works of art
are for sale in the shops, and are much
better as gifts and remembrances than a
chip off "a public building or piece from
a work of statuary. In looking at public
monuments, figures, or at oil paintings, it
is not considered good form to indicate
by mark with the point of cane or
umbrella just the especial feature that ex-
cites admiration. Nor is it in good taste

Fill Up the Supreme Bench.

Time was when the Supreme Court of
the United States commanded almost as
large space in the public mind as either
of the other coordinate branches of the
Government. Just now it seems to be
terribly shorn of its rightful proportions.
1t is, as one might say, scudding under
bare poles. The law says it shall consist
of nine Justices, and that six shall be q
quorum. As one has resigned and two
are forever disabled, the court now actu-
ally consists of bare quorum. If one is
sick the court must adjourn. If one is
disqualified by interest or other legal
cause from sitting in a given case, that
case cannot be heard. Only last Sat-
urday, as we learn, Justice Bradley being
sick at home, the other five were obliged
to 90 TO his residence and hold consulta-
ton for deciding case, because with
out him there could be no quorum. This
ought not to be.
Early in the session bill was intro
duced in the House of Representatives
for the appointment of two additional
Justices of the Supreme Court, with
proviso that no vacancy should
thereafter be filled until the num-
Der should be reduced to eight.
By the passage of this bill the court
would be made to consist nominally of
eleven Justices, but, as two of them will
never again be able to sit, it would
actually consist of but nine sitting men,
bers. The decease or resignation of two
would create no vacancy, but would re-
duce the court to its proper number.
Not until by another death or resigna-
ton it should be reduced to eight, as
above stated, would a vacancy be Gre
ated. The bill would not take effect un-
til March 4, and its passage would simply
enable President Garfield to Immediately
nominate three Judges instead of the one
to take Justice Swayne's place. The in
terests of the country seem to demand
this action, unless it shall be the opini on
that the Supreme Court is no longer a
necessity.
