The Yellowstone Park Lease.

Assistant Secretary Joselyn, of the depart
ment of the interior, was before the senate
committee on territories yesterday morning
to explain his recent action in leasing to Rufus
Hatch and two others tract of land within
the Yellowstone national park for hotel pur-
poses A subcommittee consisting of Messrs.
Vest, Harrison, and McDill will pursue the
inquiry further and report such bill as may
seem to them necessary to protect the interest
of the government, preserve the game and
fish of the park, and prohibit the granting of
exclusive privileges, &c.

The Supreme Court.

If there is any man or woman employed in
the public service, in any capacity, high or
low, who does anywhere near as much work
as does each one of the judges of the United
States supreme court, we do not know it..
Here are men of renown as jurists called
from the legal fraternity to sit in Judgment
in all cases arising under the constitution and
laws of the United States and appealed to
them, and the business of the court has so
outgrown its early organization, and the in
considerable changes made therein, that liti-
gants wait for justice, although the judges tax
themselves up to the point of endurance
and beyond the bounds of prudence. We
have no suggestion to make as to what
changes are needed; that is for those who are
learned in the law and familiar with the needs
of the case. But we do say that congress
ought not longer to delay action. In each
house is judiciary committee, able to in
struct the body, and their views should either
be carried out or others sub tituted for them
The court is now compelled to waste much
of its time in the consideration of matters in,
yolving no new Investigations, but dealing
with the consideration of facts and the appli
cation to them of the most familiar princi
pies. The creation of intermediate tribunals
which shall sift out all but leading cases, il
the work for congress. Let the judges CEASE
to be worked like mere pack horses, and bt
allowed to give their time to the decision o
questions of the first consequence. Dignity
them as becomes the great court of last resor
for fifty millions of people, and this can only
be done by relieving them of a mass of mer,
routine labor, which should be finally dis
posed of in those inferior tribunals, for tn,
creation of which congress has unlimited
power under the constitution

The democrats are now full of glee over the
bumps which the republican wagon received
last month. They all feel in patronizing
mood. They know just where we made our
mistakes. Indeed 1 told you so" is plainly
written on the democratic visage. We accept
with meekness the admonitions Of the cleo
tions, and we bow low to our democratic
wiseacres who sit bold upright in their wagon,
needless of any stump in the road over which
they travel. There are many such
obstacles, which they will find as
they drive so merrily along, and we
cannot refrain from paying back some of their
kind warnings. For example, we see just
ahead of them now something against which
they will strike with stunning force if they
do not drive around it. We refer to the dis
position to prevent needed legislation at this
session, in order that the democratic party
may have the credit of similar measures in
the next congress. Not only would this be
suicidal, but they will greatly suffer if they
shall be blamable for tardy action on
the taxes even at this session. The
agitation of the subject of reduction of
internal taxes and revision of the tariff cannot
but greatly disturb all business likely to be
affected thereby. 1t is most important that
the result shall be reached as soon as practi-
cable. The party which shall be most blama-
BILE for any unnecessary continuation of such
suspense will subject itself to the castigation
which the sufferers thereby have the power
to inffirt ...... ffi

The Dakota Case.

During the session of the senate committee
on territories yesterday there was a lively
debate over the question of the admission OF
Dakota to the union, preciptated by decla-
ration by Senator Vest that the sole object OF

A Slight Breaking out of the Old Spirit.

One of the grandest efforts Of American
genius was the production of the realistic
novel, "Uncle Toms Cabin" by HARRIET
BEECHER STOWE. For upwards of quarter
of a century the pages of that book, delinea-
ting life among the lowly in land of pro-
fessed liberty where millions of human beings
were born and bred to slavery and resultant
degradation, were read and commented upon
by millions of thinking people, not only in
America, but throughout the civilized world.
Its vivid and life-like descriptions of the
various phazes of legalized crime and infamy
excited more indignant thought upon the
subject of our national disgrace than all the
efforts of all the men of that period who
wrote and spoke against the great evil. In
the publication of that book Mrs. STOWE
eXerted an incalOuable influence against
slavery, thereby benefting her country and
the world at large in an untold degree. At
the time of its greatest popularity and widest
| circulation, the novel was correct descrip-
tion of life in slave-land and perfect pic
/ ture of the little good and much crime then
existing under "the peculiar institution y
of the south. Since the war, the
work has been dramatized and pre-.
sented to audiences, and large audiences
everywhere as an historical picture of that
period of our nations development upon
which we look now with naught but regret

Messing the drama. BY the abolition Of the
crime of human bondage no section Of our
country has been so ennoblcd and elevated as
the south. There is not an aero of land
within the boundaries of our great republic
upon which slavery can now exist and
none should be more proud of this fact than
they who have been freed from the infamous
stigma of their former life. Tho more intel
ligcnt people of that section realize this, yet
in some there remains the old time hatred of
liberty and progress, and the ventilation of
their venom is the greatest hindrance to the
advancement and prosperity of the south to-
day.
Those comments are called forth by the re-
cent publication in paper at Lynchburg,
Va, protesting against the performance Of
Uncle Toms Cabin" in that city. The
editor congratulates himself that the citi-
zens of Lynchburg have shown that
such insults cannot be offered to the
people with impunity." Notwithstanding
the apparent venom of that sentence, 1t is an
indication Of hopeful progress. 1t is an asser-
tion that the history of slavery is regretted
and deprecated where once it was fostercd
and defended. The representation of ante
bclum scenes constitutes series of insults y
to those who are yet unregeneratc, but so far
advanced in civilization as to be ashamed OF
their own past. 1t is to be regretted that
this history is an insult" yet it is an indica.
ton of hopeful conversion, and we can
patiently await the full fruition of the good
seeds freformationwhich are thus taking root
We can patiently abide the time when the
entire people of the south will be able to lool
upon that dreadful past, not with anger OF
resentment because its evils are discontinued
but with patriotic sorrow that such scene:
once occupied a prominent part in the gradua
development of our country. 1t is to bt
hoped that Uncle Toms Cabin" will be pre-
sented annually to audiences throughout oui
entire land and that Lynchburg may not bt
on any occasion passed by or sighted.

The French spoIiation claims.

The senate honored itself yesterday by the
passage ofthe bill concerning the French spolia-
tion claims. 1t is a reproach to this nation that
it bought itself out of runious treaty with
France by releasing that government from
obligations to American citizens for damage
done to private property, and then allowed its
own citizens thus made losers to whistle for
their pay. 1t is a rcproach, because it was a
dishonest transaction thus to cancel private
claims and never make them good. 1t was
taking private property for public use without
any compensation. Thejustice of these claims
is historical, and has been upheld by some of
our most illustrious statesmen. The bill only
provides for submission to the court OF
claims. The original claimants are long since
in their graves, but congress should regard
the money due their legal representatives as a
conscience fund.- to retain which in the treas
ury is as immoral as to abstract therefrom
without consideration a similar amount.
