The AMOUNT of red tape necessary to
transact business with the District Com
missioners' offices is enough to deter
timid creditor from even attempting to
collect bill which he may unfortunately
have against them. Some of the clerks in
that Office would do credit to the circum-
locution Office of England, as SO truthfully
and graphically described by Dickens.

Mr.. BLAINE ought by this time to be-
gin to understand that the United States is
not q power. He seems to have labored for

Mr.. Blaine should have known that the
United States was never a power, but simply
rear elevation, designed for being kicked.

THE PRINCIPAL owner of the Anchor
line of British steamships is in town. His
name is Henderson. He is giving dinners
to our statesmen. Mr.. Henderson is in
fayer Of Free Ships. He holds that sub
sidy is crime. We hope that the Con-
gress of the United States will take no ac-
tion looking to revival of the American
merchant marine until Mr.. Henderson has
been consulted. But why Mr.. Henderson I?
Why not Uncle John Goldman, as hereto
fore? Are we to presume that British in
terests are in such peril that Uncle John
Goldman can no longer guard them, but
must give way to the owner of a British
steamship line?

1T is PRETTY well understood here that
Messrs. Gould and Huntington have forced
Mr.. Willard to accept certain terms of
treaty; and the warfare of the New York
World on the Northern Pacific land grant
is not SO fierce as it was. These railroad
kings have habit of thinking that they
can settle things in this way. But one of
these days Mr.. Willard will discover that a
treaty with Messrs. Gould and Huntington,
does not invariably settle things.

a Convention OF tho Greenbnclx
party OF this State was held in Co,
Iumba last week. The follow
ing ticket was placed in the field:
For Governor, J. Hendrix Nc
Lane; Tor Licutcrant Governor, r.
ID. White; Tor Attorney General
C.aB Farmer; for Comptroller Gen-

w. Ill. Stanton; for Secretary OF

tant and Inspector General, Julius

ucation, Rev. l. ID. Durham.
Some good men are found in al.
most every political party, but point,
II you can, to a single name upon
1hat ticket, distinguished for good
public service, Or for devotion to
right principles. Whore is the
prestige to give the party force?-
Where is the mental cor moral equi.
l'brium to keep it from tottering to
pieces? Self interest,", brought them
TO a locus, but the interest of the
good people of this State, will surely
scatter them in darkness again. The
proceedings Of the convention are
as deficient in policy as they arc
wanting IN principle. The party
expects and invites the hearty sup
port OF the colored voters of this
State, but it has adorned its ticket
with mon, who have nothing to re-
commend them to the colorcd men
except their opposition to Demo>
ciacy; and we are sure that no in
telligent colorcd man, with the lights
which tho present administration
has set before him, can conscicnti-
ously endorse, either the men or the
measures Of tho Grconback Party
TO what pitch OF sclf.promotivc
patriotism did this grand conven>
'Ioii tisC! "nCn III came 10 nOmlna-
tons for Congress! James B. Camp-
bell WAS nominated for The First

Fourth District, II. II. Russell for

for the Sixth District. With these
Tor the representatives, would not
our State cut u glorious figure at
Washington
a colorcd mem bcr of the cOnvcn>
ton wanted to know what his race
had right to expect OF the Green
back party. Tho only true answer
to that question can TO found in the
history Of our State from 1868 to
1876. Tho prime oIj"ct of the
Groenback party is Il repetition of
that carnival of crime and robbery.
Their on!y hope of success is but IL
Sllmm"ring lay which shines family
through disatlccLion Ia the Demo-
cratic party. This source of light
will soon be cut off, then they will
| be left in darkness and be oblilerut-
cd by their own confusion.
