It.is well enough for party managers and
party strikers to reflect, occasionally, that
there is hereafter. The Bourbons never
thought OF that which is to come. With a
reckless disregard of all portents-a contemp-
tuous sheer at all protests and expostulations
they rushed heedlessly along in the work of pro-
scription and persecution, as though they had
a lease upon time and eternity. They have
been brought to q sudden halt and have time
and occasion for contemplating their own vim
dictive and relentless course toward all who
dared to oppose them. II the iron they have
so freely used upon others should be turned
upon them and made to enter their very souls,
they may learn something of their own meth
DDS and realize something of their own gross
and savage conduct.

A Washington correspondent has ascertain
ed that 2 ,985 bills and joint resolutions were
introduced in the two houses of Congress be-
fore the recess The law provides that $50
copies of each document shall be printed for
the use of members, requiring to date the
printing of nearly 100000 copies. And
scarcely over half of the bills for this session
have been presented. There is a good sized
chance for reform in this matter of public
printing both in National and State affairs.

The interests of the United States demand
a reciprocity treaty with the government of
Mexico. This country produces much Of that
which Mexico wants, and Mexico produces
things that the United States want Public
policy would suggest that treaty be negoti-
ated which would encourage facilities for the in
terchange of the products of the two coun-
tries and thus each contribute to the prosper
ity of the other. Private enterprise is dong
its part grandly towards bringing the two Re-
publics closer together. We will soon realize
the benefits of the railroad projects now on
foot, destined to penetrate the interior of
Mexico, and it is the duty of Congress and the
administration to dc their part.

The Cabinet appointments of President
Arthur thus far have been stalwart statesmen
above faction, above the trades and tricks
OF mere politicians. Frelinghuysen, Folger,
Brewster and Howe, will stand the test of the
most searching scrutiny and nothing small will
be found in them. 1t means that the best tai
ent of the country is to be called into the Cab-
net council and the broadcast craftsmanship

ton of President Arthur.

prOvingly from the Stanton V1ndicat0r,
deprecating making the charitable institu-
tons OF the State prizes in party con-
tests" The State has Il short memory. In
the recent campaign our r edmond cotem-
porary distinctly declared that one Of the
issues Of the contest was the retention of
the control of the Public Institut ons OF the
State, enumerating the Public Schools. the
Penitentiary, the Insane Asylums. Deaf
Mute Institution, Colleges. &c..&c. And now
that Gov. Holiday has so recently given the
example OF making partizan Boards for
these public institutions, thus rewardino
partizan favorites for partizan services, it
comes with bad grace for protest to be
entered from Bourbon source against
spirit that was brought into life by the
Bourbon party for the first time in the his
tory OF the Commonwealth. Had there
not been partizan design in the whole ar
rangement, Gov. Holiday would have al
| lowed the old Boards to have held on for a
few days, until his successor, chosen by the
people. and rejecting their wishes, had
| qualified and been inaugurated, and
would not have proceeded to make ap-
pointments to serve during almost the en-
| tire term of Governor Cameron, unless the
latter should deem it advisable to make his
own selections. 1t was a mar ked discourtesy
to the incoming Governor, and it is quite
likely the present Executive will resent it
by appointing Visitors and Directors to the
institutions in question of his own choos-
ing, and thus unpart,sanize them to that
extent. We hold to very conservative
views on all such subjects. but we know
partzan act and partizan appointments
when we see them, and we know the
Boards OF the two State institutions located
at Staunton to be az distinctly partizan as
| they we'll could be-with one or two excep-
tions. bi terly so. Not Re-adjuster or a
Republican is on either, nor is there one of
either among the many appointments of
this character Gov. Holiday made lust AZ
he was leaving the Executive chair. This
was not accident. 1t was deliberate de-
sign. and, az we conceive, unworthy
OF the Governor Of Virginia. 1t will not
do, therefore, for the Boul bon press. in
stigated, no doubt, by the bitterest of the
partizan favorites who have been thus re.
cognized and rewarded by the late Gov
ernor, to give vent to holy horror at the
bare thought of partizanism in these nsti-
tutiops. They are partizan now, not only in
the appointment of the Boards. but in times
of election, and it Is the sheerest impudence
for the Bourbons to try to cover this up BY
the expression of pretty sentiments in refer
ence 70 the matter. These institutions have
been made partizan by the Bourbon party,
and il the Re-adjustcr Governor should I'M
do this partizanism, there will be no one to
blame but Gov. Holiday himself and his
narrow and yindictive advisers.

On the Both of December the first through
train over the Southern Pacific Railroad, was
to have left San Francisco, bound for New
Orleans, and it was the arrangement that
train going west should start from New Or
leans at the same time. The completion of
this road connecting the Pacific wi til the Gulf
of Mexico is an event of national interest.
Its first effect on the currents of commerce
will no doubt be to cause a large portion of
the grain which now goes from California to
Cape Horn to take the much shorter route by
New Orleans. The road will be of great and
immediate benefit to the metropolis Of the
Gulf, which declined in business and popula-
ton during the decade following the war, and
has only begun to recuperate since the COM
pletion of the Mississippi jetties. 1t will also
facilitate the rapid settlement of Northern
Texas, develop the mining resources of New
Mexico and Arizona, and give fresh and
needed stimulus TO the growth of California.

A novel enterprise is proposed to COM
plete the work which the Inflated jeanette
failed toaccomplsh. 1t is nothing less than
the exploration Of the Arctic regions and
discovery of the North Pole by means OF
aerial navigation. Lieutenant Cbeyne is
endeavo'ing to raise fund OF $50, 900 with
which to tit out three balloons for the voy-
age, and is confident that he will be able to
raise the amount in this country and Great
Britain. 1t is proposed to make the balloons
in England; at Il cost of $40, 900. II the
fund is secured, the party, in June next,
will start for st. Patrick's Bay. 500 miles
from the pole, where there is an immense
bed OF surface coal on which a house will
be built for the manufacture of hydrogen
gas. The balloons will be equipped for
voyage of iffy-one days. and will reel out
telegraph wires as they travel. Comman-
der Cheyne is confident that he can land
within ten miles of the pole.
