Elk senator Dorsey has written n let
ter ~reslgning his office as Secretary OF
the Republican n ,tionaI Committee. He
says: There wa no act Of mine in
respect to the management OF tho Presi-
Dental campaign, either as to its gem
eral or any of its numberless details,
that was not thoroughly known to any
Of our candidates for P~residentand Vice
President, and by them and each OF
them fully approved before aud after the
election. In the yery II .ture OF tho cir
cumstances l was forced to do many
things on my W. responsibility. In
that entire campaign nothing was done
by me that was not heartily sanctioned
by generals Garfield and Arthur. The
only regret on their part, it SENS to me,
was the limit of my physical endurance,
and oven this regret vanished when the
result was made known in November,
1880, when we all supp osed that q VIC
tory had been achieved.

a BAD DILL,

Asstmblyman Perkins has intro.
duced q bill re-enacting Il former law OF
this State. by which the exhibition OF q
poll-tnx receipt was made IL pre-requi,
site to registration as au e~lector. The
gross injustice of such n law soon DO
came apparent upon its enforcement,
aud was repealed without opposition.
Aside from its obnoxious nature, a
grave objection to such a measur is,
that 1t is unconstitutional to tax the
elective franchise.
II Mr.. Perkins Insists upon maiu-
tanning his bill, it should be summary
squelched by action OF the Assembly.

to hamper them with small appropria.

Texas. has had an interview with Con-
eral Grant on the proposed reciprocity
treaty with Mexico. Grant Is reported
to have said that the statement that he
was acting in the interest OF the Gould
railway system. was false. He was act
ing i'll the interest of fifty millions Of
people, and considered himself some
thing quite different from a lobbyift for
any individual or incorporated interest
When tho people come to understand
the terms Of the treaty, they would be
as ready with their concentrations as
they were with their objections. Grant
is quoted as saying that the foreign
trade Of Mexico il now wholly in the
hands of the German and English, and
that This proposed treaty was devised
with = view of opening up business rela.
tons between tho two countries. With
six years experience under its provis.
ions. this country would get such q
good hold that she could compete IA.
vorably with all Corners for the Mexican
foreign trade.
