More Dirt Throwing

While Mr.. Butterworth was speaking
in the House Of Representatives last Fri
day, in detehse of the Administration Mr..
Cox, of New York, interrupted to inquire
what Mr. Butterworth thought of the re-
moval of Mr.. Smith, internal revenue COL
lector of Cincinnati. MIR. Butterworth
did not give direct answer, but in the
course of his reply said to Mr.. Cox: "You
have district SO thoroughly rotten that
it votes the Democratic ticket by instinct
This angered Mr.. Cox somewhat, and he
replied that such a remark came wit. a
bad grace from gentleman who had Sc
duced Ephraim Holland, who, according
to the gentleman, was a Democratic pros
titute. In reply Mr.. But,erworth made
an allusion which is not nature fit for
publication, and which was characterized
by MIR. Cox as the remark of BLACKBOARD
Subsequently an effort was made to have
the colloquy omitted from the record, and
it was accomplished, though not until d
debate had gone on for some time of such
Q character as to lead Mr.. Money, of Mis-.
sissippi, to suggest that the chat. request
the ladies to retire from the galleries.

ency of those members who cannot refrain
from. this repeated mud throwing, to cleo,

consistent with the honor and dignity OF
the chief legislative body of the country to
be continually indulging in these person
al encounters of doubtful character.

American Officers and the Egyptian
Army

In view OF the present state Of affairs in
Egypt, which may lead to q protracted
war between that country and England. it
may not be unin,eres,ing to know to
whom the Egyptians are indebt-
ed for their knowledge in warfare:
In 1867 number of ex-Federsl and
Confederate officers went to Egypt and
entered the military service at the invita-
ton of the Khed:ve, and it is now con-
coded that as far as the Egyptian army
has any efficiency it is their creation
Prominent among these were Gen. Charles
P. Stone, of the Federal army, who was
defeated at Balls Buff; Gems. w. w Lor-
ing and Raleigh f. Colston, Col. Thos.
G. Rhett, Gen. Joseph E. Johnson's
adjutant- general, Col. Walter H. Jenifer,
of Baltimore, all of whom served in the
Confederate army, and Col. C.. C. Long, of
Maryland. 1t was not long before the
American officers began to feel hostile.
pressure, and they gradually abandoned
the service Of the Khedive, until Gen.
stone is now the only American officer Of
prominence in the Egyptian army. and
it is extremely doubtful if he will be
permitted to re'ain any important COM
mand if religious war grows out of the
present situation. Col. Jenifer, after some
years. service, returned to Maryland and
died several years ago: DR.. Warren, after
obtaining great distinction in the medical
department and having the title of Bey
conferred on him by the Khedive, was
obliged to abandon Egypt because of bis
injured eye-sight, and is now an eminenr
in Paris, France; Col. Long,
after performing much arduous service,
returned to his country and lectured in
the principal cities. He is now in Egypt,
but not in the army. Gen. Colston is en-
gagged as q military instructor in an
academy near New York city, whilst Gen.
Loring, who constructed almost all of the
important defenses of Alexandria, is now
living in Florida. where he began his
military career in fighting the Indians.

The Little Discourtesies Of Women

The following editorial is from the
Baltimore Day. Evidently some Of the

scribe who penned it rather roughly
though perhaps not more so than he de-
serves, and he thus seeks to get revenge.

Why are women more discourteous than
men That they are 30 every one who

they should be less prone to the lie civ

men might be accounted for by the fact
that AS a rule they have less money; but
this will not account for their failure in
those cour estes which cost nothing but
little personal exertion or discomfort, and
sometimes not even so much. Though
the rule is not without exceptions, it
neverth less is the rule that il lady enters

Men are not only more courteous toward

which is democratic before it is funder or
readjuster. The office he seeks is a federal
one, and its functions have no relation to
the local dogma which Mr.. Massey enjoys
the questionable distinction of having
been the first to formulate and enunciate
In his manifesto, published in The Sun of
Wednesday, he ex-auditor while. refusing
to recant his belief in his peculiar tenet,
declares himself on all national questions a
democrat. He declares the readiuster
programme completed. The Riddleberger
bill has been passed and the readuster
party has now no longer any reason for
continuing to exist. For Mahoneism, its
offspring, Mr. Massey has no respect, since,
according to his definition, it means
simply IAN alliance with the republican
party, and plan for handing the State
over to Arthur in exchange for the federal
patronage in Virginia" A scheme of
dicker in which "self is the controlling
consideration" does not, in his opinion,
constitute legitimate or decent political
bond of union. In word, the father
of readjusterism disowns Mahoneism, his
posterity in the second degree, and calls
upon all "Virginians and democrats to
rally about the standard of peace and re-
Cancellation, which, at the request Of
persons in different portions of Virginia,

War In Egypt.

Hostilities have begun at AYexandria
in Egypt, between the English fleet and
the insurrectionists under Arab Pasha.-
This was not unexpected, as it has been
for some time manifest tina, the British
government regarded its interests in the
Suez Canal as in jeopardy, and would in
terfere for the protection of the same
Arab Pasha, having placed himself at the
head of band of revolutionists, deposed
the Khedive and assumed the-direction of
the Egyptian government. Under his di-
rection Notifications were being erected
about the harbor Of Alexandria, and other
demonstrations being made which the
British government considered threaten
ing to its canal interests, and the other
European powers, France excepted, re-
gardsd as Objectionable from an inrerna-
tionsl standpoint. conference of am
bassadors from the different powers re-
Gently convened in Constantinople, for the
purpose Of considering the question, and
it is understood that the hostile demon
stration on the part of England was in
accordance with the will of the conference
England merely acting as mandatory Of
the powers.
The hostilities were begun on Tuesday
morning at 7 o'clock, and continued thro'
the day. Nearly all the forts were silenc-
ed during the day by the heavy guns of
the British feet. Some of the guns used
by the English were heavier than any ever
before used in warfare, and some disap-
pointment is expressed at the effect upon
the Notifications produced by these guns
The English loss during the day was but
slight, while that of the Egytians is
thought to have been heavy.
1t is probable that Arab will soon sue
cumb to the superior British forces, and
that the authority of the Khsdive will be
reinstated. This, it is understood, is all
the English desire, as the Khedive has
always recognized their rights in the Ca
nal, and when accomplished, will proba-
bly, terminate the hostilities. There is
some expression of opinion that q pro-
tracted and complicated war similar to
that Of the Crimea will be the result OF
the present hostile demonstrations, but the
better opinion appears to be to the COD.
trary.
If England were to undertake war of

some quarters, general war would doubt.
less result, as the European powers would
not acquiesce in such an acquisition OF
territory by the British crown. If such
war were to take place, the effect upon
the grain market in this country would
be promptly and distinctly felt, as this
would be the chief market OF supply for
the belligereRt countries. In that event
grain would probably advance to a very
high figure. Thus far. however, very lit
tie effect has been produced upon the
markets by the war news, The impression
being general that the war will be of
temporary nature.

The expression of members of the tariff
commission so far confirm very fully the
views Of those who have held all along
that the scheme of organizing tariff com.
mission was merely for the purpose OF
holding on as long as possible to the pre-
sent high protective tariff. Tb4 remarks
of Mr.. Hayes, the chairman of the commits
sion, indicate quite plainly that the only
result to be expected from the labors OF
the commission will he tinkering with

The announcement comes from London
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company is preparing to lay two cables
across the Atlantic ocean-one directly to
England and the other by way of the
Azores to Portugal. The latter pro-
ject was made familiar to the public
through the exertions of Wn. Cornell
Jewett who, some years ago, entered into
an agreement with Mr.. Garrett to take
over his contract for such a line. The
whole expense of these cables is to be met
by pledging the reserve fund of the Balti-
more and Ohio Company.

From the indications the amendment to
the river and barber bill appropriating
$500, 900 for the Potomac fats improve
ment, offered by Senator Ransom on Sat
urday, is likely to be adopted, but this is
not entirely certain, as some of the Sena-
tors, including the chairman of the com
mittee on commerce, seem determined to
defeat it if possible. Senator Sherman
made very strong speech in its advoca,
cy, and said their was not one single item
in the bill that was more meritorious than
it was. He said that it was remarkable
that in this bill, bristling all over as i,
was with appropriations for Insignificant
streams and creeks, there was not one
word of mention of the river on which the
capital of the country was located.

Drs. Lamb, Hartigan and Sewers, o.
Washington, to whom the making of the
autopsy and microscopic examination O
the brain of the assassin Guiteau was de-
legated, have, as usual with the modern
disciples of Esculapius, differed among
themselves in regard to the matter. D,
Lamb has published one report, On behal
OF himself, in Philadelphia medical
journal; and Drs. Hartigan and Sewer,
are engaged in the preparation of another
DR.. Lamb report is expressed in very
technical language, and is not ineligible
to the unprofessional reader. His report
however, does not, in the opinion of the
editors of the medical journal in which
it was first published, establish the insan-
ity of the assassin, though it is under.
stood that it tends more strongly to tina,
end than the forthcoming report of Drs
Hartigan and Sewers. DR.. Garrett, a
prominent physician of Washington, ha.
written letter in which he repudiates the
idea of microscopic examination of the
brain affording any proof of the sanity OF
insanity of the subject from which it was
taken. He says that insanityafrequently
and generally exists without any apparen,
disease or lesion of the brain, and tn at
cerebral disease and irritation frequently
exist without even tendency to insanity.
Whatever may be the opinions and coun-
ter opinions of the medical gentleman, a
sensible public will have no hesitation in
deciding that Guiteau was entirely too
sane man to commit the horrible crime
he did with impunity. In sanity as an
excuse for crime has been carried to q
very dangerous and absurd extent in the
past juridical history of this country, and
the case of Guiteau will furnish healthy
precedent in the contrary direction.
