OF the late ex.General Rutherford d. Hayes,
has been given to the partisan rangers of Me-

in the valley. McNeill's mon had an honor

would not share with any other command,

Mosby or his men. "EX-CoNFED."

GENERAL ADAM BADEAU is thrifty per-
son. He is head of the consulate at Havana,
and lately promulgated a rule requiring all
shippers of merchandise to the United
States to swear in person to the correctness
of their invoices. This rule of course was
very vexatious to the shippers, and they
insisted upon its modification. The Gen
eral consented, and modified the rule so
any shipper may confer the power to sign
the oath on the invoice, and to swear to it,
upon any person he may deem fit. For this
privilege the shipper pays fee of$i.25. This
fee appears to be the occasion of botn the
original rule and its subsequent modilica-
tion. 1t is very pretty game to line the
pockets of General Adam Badeau.

On LAST Thursday, March 8, THE CRITIC
began the publication of q series of original
sketches, anecdotes and observations of
men and things under the heading The
Critic Abroad" This new feature sprang
at once into general, widespread and de-
served popularity. The best proof of this
lies in the fact that the correspondent OF
the World lifted one of the anecdotes and
sent it to his paper without credit to this
paper, and that the editor of the Capital
saw it was good thing and reprinted it in
his paper, giving the World credit for it.
OF course the Capital will hasten to set the
matter right as to the origin of the anec-
dote.

THERE is and for long time has been
judgment for $1,000 in favor of the United
States against William Window, late Min

ment be let go in silence while such a howl
is made over Tom ochiltree's case? Is it
because ..Windom is rich and notorious,
while ochiltree is only the latter? There
has not been day since this $4,000 judg-
ment against the willy Window was
obtained that it could not have
been collected. Why was it not COL
lected? Who has stood between Window
and payment? He has had the money to
pay this judgment all along, and if he were
an honest man it would have been paid
long ago; but no one who knows him expects
him to pay it so long as he can, by hook or
