TOO SLOW.

Congress has sat more than three months
1t has Matched nothing, and one may doubt
whether many Of the eggs are good. No Con-
gress ever had greater reason to devote itself
to earnest effort for the aid Of industry and
commerce and the promotion of the pul =,
prosperity. Democratic neglect and partisan
ship had left a vast amount of work TO be done
The greatest interests and the most important
industries had suffered sCrely from neglect A
dlsgusted people had ousted Democratic parti
sans, and sent Republican majority to take
charge of affairs. Because all likewise legislation
of the past twenty years under which marvel
lous prosperity had been attained, had been the
work Of the Republican party, and because
that party had especially deserved and gained
the public confidence by its fidelity in matters
of public faith and to financial and industrial
needs there was reason to hope that this Con-
gress would strive to do well. Is it possible TO
speak with praise of its work
An AppOrtionment bill has been passed.
which ought not to have occupied two days. 1t
was not very good bill, but the business in

if the whole subject had been ignored A

better, than it is has passed one HOusc-and is

One or two appropriation bills. have passed,
not marked by any feature deserving especial
blame or praise. 1t may be said with truth
tlat this Congress has done very little to cen
sure. Possibly that is in part because this
Congress has done very little.
All the great interests of the country are still
neglected. There is urgent need, now that
gold begins 10 go abroad, of legislation to
arrest the coinage Of silver and the issue of
silver certificates. Clear-headcd men do not
like TO point out how near and serious the dan
ger really is, because discussion might bring il
nearer, and Congress seems both Indifferent
and wrong -headed-apparently disposed not to
act at all, and inclined, if it acts at all, to act
wrongly. The tariff question has been family
and timidly touched upon, without serious dis
CUSTOM and with much apparent aversion 10
such remedial action as is sorcly needed by
great industries Congress even seems avcIse
to provide for investigation, ms ii afraid
that honest inquiry might force it to take
action OF some kind. The Arrears of

i'm public affairs. There have been mutterlngS
of discomfort among the Union Democrats Tor
several years, and ut last the storm has broken
forth The only officer to be elected this year Is
Clerk of the Court of Appeals. The Union
Democrats urged that this was not political
office. and that the lOng-establlshed custom OF
putting only -Confederatcs into Office might
bo disrccarded this time and the nomination
given to Union Democrat. This the Bour-
bons declined to do. They insisted upon nam
ing an ex-rebcl for the position, and they put
him i'm nomination with glowing eulogles upon
his glorious career rs n Confederate soldier ana
greeted his nomination with uproarlous Con-
federate yells. Everything was done that
could be done to irritatc the Union Democrats.
The latter concluded that the time had come
for them to act Under the lead OF Colonel
John II. McIIcnry, one of the most popular
Democrats in the State, they began to organize
an Anti Bourbon party. They held confer
cncc. Organized committee, and nominated
Colonel II. T. Jacob, an eminent and popular
Union Democrat, as their candidate for Clerk
of the Court of Appeals. This action was
greeted with SO many expressions OF approval
from all quarters that mass convention was
called ana met nj LOUISVILLE llNJ l utSuity
evening. There was a large attendance and
great enthusiasm. Colonel Jacobs nomination
was unanimously ratified, and resolutions were
adopted plcdginG the new party to liberality
and progress. Whether the BOurbOns can be
defeated or not depends entirely upon the ac-
ton of the Republicans. If they support him
and there seems to he no reason why they
should not. and give him their full vote, there
is every reason to think ne can be elected. The
vote for Hancock in 1850 was ll9,O6S, and the
combined vote against him was H. 500. 1t is
estimated that the Union Democrats number
10000. If only half of them combine with the
Republicans and other Anti-Bourbon elements,
the Bourbons would be defeated by 10000
majority.
We trust the Republicans of the State will
have the good sense to join the Union Demo-
Gratis in this movement. The Office is not a
political one, and Colonel Jacob is a candidate
Of unqucstioncd fitness. 1t is time Kentucky
threw of tic Bourbon yoke. a State which
cast 90 3Cj votes against secession and only
3G,995 in favor of it, after Sumter was fired
upon, ought not to be allied with the cause
which was defeated in the war seventeen years
after the war ended.

barely escaped indorsng the great robbery
Neither House has found time To consider a
simple measure that would help to prevent part
of the enormous robbery, by rcmedyng detects
in the law. Four hundred miles of rich land in
several States are now deluged and devastated,
while comparatively inexpensive measures Tor
the improvement and confinement of the great
river are sleeping in pigeon-hOles. American
shipping dwindes away almost to the vanish
ing point, while England makes greater efforts
than ever TO keep for British manufacturers
and merchants exclusive advantages III trade
with foreign lands. In fact a catalogue OF the
interests that are neglected would he a cata-
loguc OF the interests of the country.
What is Congress doingl Talking some 1t
is nearly all barren talk, about order OF bust
ness" or "points of ORDER" or "personal eX-
planations,' and there surely never was Con-
gress that had more trouble to get mt the
proper order of doing nothing. or debate
upon public interests, by which the country
might at least be informed, there has been very
little; in fact the rules, effective for no good,
seem particularly effective to prevent instruc-
tive discussion. But are members not aware
that the country is getting very tired OF this
sort of thing
We earnestly appeal to Republican members
to make a strong effort to suppress waste of
time. and TO secure the dispatch of public busi-
ness. Surely they cannot quite realize how
little this country likes inellicency, how much
If stands in need of practical legislation, or
how many horcs have been built upon the be-
ief that Republican Congress would prove
working and useful Congress. Great allow
ance will be made for the ineXperiencc of many
new members; much for the inccrtitudc which
attends absence of recognized leadership; and
much for the embarrassment of a close division
of parties. But there will be scanty patience
to listen to excuses if Congress does not pres

Cannot n conference of Republicans OF both
Houses fix upon some practical and useful
measures to which they will strive earnestly to
hold the attention of Congress until acton can

The Western Union Telegraph Company
seem to have very properly considered the
circumstances attending the suueptitiOus pub
LEGATION of a confidential dispatch over their
wires, a. rejecting upon their service, and
have therefore undertaken an investigation.
The letter from United States Attorney Cork
hill, given this morning, only records their first
step This was a short one, for it brought them
at once against the unexpected fact that for
2 crime which, in the State OF NewYork and
in nearly every other State in the Union, is
penitentiary offence, the District of Columbia
has absolutely no legal punishment whatever.
1t remains to be seen whether the Western
Union Company have any; or whether they
can do nothing to protect their customers. On
that point we have reason to expect that they
will soon be heard from.
When Mr.. COrbhill had found that the Grim
inal laws of the District provided no punish
ment for the transaction his duty ended; and
his suggestions as to the various ways in
which the dispatch might have reached the
public are, therefore, purely eXtra-oilicial.
When the facts come out he will also see how
wide of the mark most Of them are.
