EX-U. s. MARSHALL RUSSELL.

appointment to the office OF y. >.
marshall for this district, and in dong
so praises him rather extravagantly, as
stallwart republican.
We have no personal feeling against
Russell; on the contrary, our personal
relations have always been pleasant,
but his reappointment, in our opinion,
would be double misfortune: beng
contrary to the best interests OF the
service. and a blow at the revlvlnS
prospects of the republican party IN
the state.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Russell made
some telling speeches up north during
the last presidential campaign. These
speeches were marked for their bitter
denunciation of the southern people,
and we are doubtful if they did any
good in the locality where delivered,
and we are sure they did no good here.
But Mr.. Russell's speeches up north
and acts down in Texas do not agree,
because he has not hesitated to fill his
under offices with democrats, and to
make allegiance with democrats in
elections, as he did in favor of Hon.
Jon. Hancock against Wash. Jones;
during which campaign he took occa-
sion to denounce governor Davis in
the most disgraceful way as having de-
serted the republican party because he
advocated Mr.. Jones' election.
Now Mr.. Russell has been very
little in his district; it has been run by
deputies, and the acts of some of these
deputies have brought the government
into disrepute with the people; in fact,
under Russell the marshals office has
been most miserably conducted. Nu-
merous of our citizens hold accounts
against Russell and his deputies, pur-
chased in good faith as claims against
the government, but it begins to de-
velop that these claims have already
been cashed by the government. The
use of the county jails to hold the gov
eminent prisoners has developed the
fact that Mr.. Russell owes considera-
bic money which there seems no pros
pect of his paying. His reappolnt-
could only be based on the excuse to
let him get even. But such policy is
detrimental to the public service in the
highest degree.
Now, as we glance back on Mr.. Rus
sells career, from the time he became
an open and avowed republican, we
fail to recOllect an hour when he did
not enjoy public favor and employ
ment. His first position was an APP
pointment as district attorney by Gov.
Davis, and this gave him standing
in a county largely republican. He
was afterwards elected sheriff, and met
the most violent opposition of the
democracy, but was upheld at Austin.
We admired his gallant conduct during
his struggle to maintain himself at
that time. But Russell turned his
back on his early friends and made
league with the powers that be and his
as United States marshal
was more due to democratic than to
republican influence, and he was
placed in an equlvoCal position that
has largely tended to wreck his politi.
cal consistency.
We part with Russell with no
personal grud- e, but rather with 4
feeling of sorrow that SO brilliant a
man, capable of SO much usefulness to
himself and his state, should have
been wrecked in official life.
Commercial Travellers

Commercial Travellers.

A bill was recently introduced in the house
of representatives which prohibits any state or
municipality from interfering in any way with
any Commercial traveller who sells goods by
sample in a state other than the one in which
the merchant or manufacturer does business
for which said traveller is acting, and provid-
ing that any officer who shall thus interfere
shall be deemed guilty of a msdemeanor and
be liable to indictment before the United
States grand jury in the district in which the
interference occurs; and, if convicted, shall
be liable to pay fine not to exceed SIoo, or
three months Imprisonment in Jail, or both.
This bill is designed TO overcome the local
laws in tie south and west which interfere
with the business of travelling salesman.

Right 10 ste Heard.

To the Editor Of THE REPvpLCAEi
Please oblIge the inmates ofthiS Home by pub
fishing the following: We learn from the Even
ing Star Of the Dist instant that the investigating
committee at present inqulring into the affairs of
this Home, are about closing their inquiry, and
that In their report they will Say some unpleas-
ant things" about the managers. We suppose
that there has been "errors of judgment, but not
commission of sins" This looks as II the commit
tee intended to whitewash the managers, Town
send, Barnes & Co. We also learn that the Chief
expense fthis Home was in keeping the roads,
grounds, and cutters in repair" We are sur.
prised TO find that only one set of persons, and
those personally interested In the disbursement of
the funds Of this Homo, were examined; If this
committee wished to learn the true inwardness Of
the expenses of this Home they should have ex-
amined some of the inmates, and learned that
not only have tho managers been guilty
Of "errors of judgment" but of "sins Of
commission" direct and willful. The star
says that the dissatisfaction Of the inmates be-
cause General Sturges is governor of the Home,
and the reasons for that dissatisfaction will be set
forth" in the report of the committee, we suppose.
This seems to us to be an attack the reputation
of General sturges, and he will no doubt attend
to that himself Now as this charge OF dissatisrao-
ton concerns us and is calculated to njure us in
the good opinion of our officers, we shy that there
Is not now or at any time since General Sturges
came here any inmate or number OF inmates who
expressed or had any reason to express any
dlsapprobatlon or dissatisfaction with Cen
eral Sturges because General sturges is gov.
ernor." Why the Star should take such
interest in publishing every statement
made to this investigating committee that
is calculated TO damage the inmates of this Home
we cannot tell In the star of January % the pub
lie was treated to account of statements said to
BIO made to the committee by the commissioners
that the inmates were idle, dlssipatcd, insubordi.
nate, &c. Now, ifsuch statements have been made
to the investigating committee, wo think that in
justice and in fairness we should be heard in our
own defense. 1t cannot be possible that Mr.. Hamp-
ton or Mr.. Harrison, both having been soldiers
will refuse us "od Vets" the right accorded to
the assassin of the President-to speak in our own
defense.

~. PatrIcE's Day CcIebra,,ons,

To the Editor OF TnE REPUBLICAN:
II was rather to be wished than hoped that the
advice of the national committee OF the late
Chicago convention of Irish American sympathlz-
ers To abandon this year the customary parRdes
and banquets on ST. Patrieks Day should be fol-
lowed In all cases by the Irish American element
II is difficult to change the habits Of people, no
matter how strong the reasons for change. The
national committee truly say that; While a vast
foreign military establishment lowers upon every
roof lin Ireland. and armed invaders have totally
destroyed the liberties of our kindred the spectacle
Of gay professions on 81, Palriok's Day Ia the
United States and the .reyelry of the banqueIing-
room would be alike repugnant TO pro-
priety and painful, II not humiliating,
TO every earnest son Of our suffering country"
let US FEAST" say the committee. "Rflsr Ireland
has ceased 10 iamish. Let our banners float In
the free air OF adopted country after they have
waved In the recovered freedom Of our native
land. The pledge Of Sl50OOO TO which
the hoHor Of The Irish national convention IS COM
mitted remains 10 be redeemed, May we not sug-
gest that In lieu Of professions and banquets each
society Immediately assess itself the cost Of regala
flags, music. and caterers, and transmit the
amount AT oneei Tho day would thus be nobly
observed aud the sound morality and good sense Of
the method should DO emphasized by holding pub
lie meetings at minimum expense, IN which
the Just claims of our country and tho iulamy of

been adopted by Irish American associations IN

The suit OF the Rev. J. B. Wilson, late pastor of
the First Methodist Protestant Church, was tried
yesterday in the Circuit Court, and resulted in u
verdict for the pastor The action was brought to
recover ON two notes given by the trustees of the
church to pay the pastors salary. The counsel
for the church (Mr. +. r Stillson) claimed that
under the laws Of this District affecting the incor-
poration of religious societies they had no author
ity TO give the notes Tho defense also claimed
set-oT ofsS7, being the amount Of mission fund
paid over to the minister and not accounted for
Mr.. Wilson's counsel (Mcssrs. Wilson and Stone)
argued that If the proper church books
and vouchers were produced the money would
be satisfactorily accounted for, As this could not
DO done, they would plead the statute of limita-
tions. Judge Macarthur said "the laborer was
worthy of his hire" and that cergymen were
hard working set. He proposed with this case to
sett lie all disputes, and would allow the sS7 rs

REMARKS By DIR. S. c. BANCROFT, REFEREE

hEMARhS BY DR. s. Z. BANCROfT, RbFEREE
(d) The white bishop takes knight for the pur-
pose of saving the kings pawn and TO double the
opponents pawns, so as 10 make them less effective
(D Capital move; although his bishop is attacke ed
he attacks the advcrsary's knight with pawn. and
pawn takes pawn in passing, which is its best move
and bishop relieves itself of attack by taking pawn
(cl fine move. which places the blacks in a
good position to defend itself from the severe at
tack contemplated by the enemy aud to make a
counter attack.
"a A fine move. The bishop makes a counter
attack on the white queen and the battle grows
fierce; war to the knife and knife to the hilt.
(e) An excellent move, which not only saves a
valuable pawn, but doubles the opponents pawns,
so as TO make them less effective.
On The white rock could have taken the double
pawn on knight third, but as the pawn in the
center was of more value, he moved up pawns to
drive the knight away that was supporting the
center pawn, so that he could capture 1t.
(g) Although his knight was attacked, he made
counter-attack on the enemys bishop, and also
supported his pawn at the same time.
The whites from the start kept up continuous
attack and the situation of the blacks was at
times critical, and 1t was only very cautious
and timely moves that saved the blacks from an
early defeat.
AT various stages in the game the whites had
the decided advantage, and thought they could
see victory perched upon their banners, but were
at last obliged to rest content with drawn battle.

improvement OF the ro,omae Flats.

The report on the improvement of the Potomac
Flats, which has been expected to arrive from New
York, has not yet been received, The board OF
engineers, having agreed upon plan, adjourned
last Friday and the members returned TO their sta.
lions, The writing out of the report was intrusted
to one ofthe members, and the delay in Its receipt
is due to the necessity Of forwarding 1t to each
member of the board for his signature. II Is I'M
derstood that the plan agreed upon is substantially
that of Major Twinings, and provides for running
wall around the fats, leaving the Washington
and Georgetown channels free. The
fats will then be filed up and
boautiied, and two or three lakes made. The
lakes will not only be ornamental, but can be used
for flushing out the Georgetown channels at low
tides, The flats, by means Of bridges, can be
made an extension OF the mall, and 1t has been
suggested that portion could be used for site
for y union depot, The plan agreed upon has
been very carefully considered and there Is no
doubt that It will receive the approval of the Chief
Engineer aud be transmitted at once to Congress.
