Malone mud HawIex.

The Tribune says: "One of the greatest
difficulties with Senator Malone appears to
be that he cannot be satisfied with exerting
the same degree of influence in respect to
the Federal offices of Virginia that.senator
Hawley does respecting those in Connecti-
cut"
The utter unfairness Of this comparison
will strike the reader at once. All the Fed
eral ofice-holders OF Connecticut are Re-
publicans and work harmoniously in har-
ness. Mr.. Hawley is their leader. Let one
of them balk or refuse longer to keep step
with the Aforesaid leader, and the ire of
Hawley would be appeased only when
some excuse would be found TO turn the
recalcitTant out. The hand of the boss
would be there, kid gloved, it may be, but
there, nevertheless.
How different the situation in Virginia.
Say what one may about Malone and his
methods, there is no denying the fact by
any fair-minded man that Malone waged
q fearful war against the organized power
and prejudiees of the ruling class in that
State and won. Now he seeks to retain the
fruits of his victories and is met on many
hands by Federal office-holders who, under
the pretext of bene1ting the g. o. p., seek
10 aid and comfort not only the enemies
OF Malone, but the mortal enemies
Of the Republican party. And

The Butler Degree.

Mr. Wendell Phillips has expressed the
opinion that the refusal of the Harvard au-
thorities TO give the customary degree to Gov
ernor Butler "would be disgrace TO the off,
GERS, and would very seriously AFFECT the
feelings OF the Commonwealth toward tho col
lege." And he is doubtless correct. He says
very truly that the degree has been conferred
so long as to have become settled custom,
which cannot be departed from In this case
without showing purposed malignity and
petty spite. Harvard represents the conser-
vatiye and aristocratic elements Of Boston and
of the State, but the masses OF the people have
no love for 1t; and were Its officers to insult the
man whom the people have made Governor,
out OF personal and political prejudice, they
would increase his political strength and
lower the character of the institution.
Harvard occupies a peculiar position; II is
OF this degree upon each successive Governor
has justification apart from the personal
qualifications of the recipient And as q quasi
State institution, 1t conferred the degree on
President sJackson, though he was bitterly
opposed by a powerful political party, Josiah
Quincy saying, In answer to the sneering COM

United States respected enough to make Pre-

and he had no personal qualifications. Under
these circumstances, TO refuse the degree to
Governor Butler would be an act OF petty and
contemplate spite which all good citizens
would naturally resent. The real question Is
whether the old university shall insult the
Governor Of the State on which 1t is in meas

Malone with unglovcd hand thrusts them
aside. He only does in his bluT, earnest,
soldier way what Senator Hawley would
do in Connecticut, or any other earnest
man who believes himself right and tho
cause he fights for just would do anywhere.
And If the Tribune were less hypocritical
than it is it would not commend Hawley
for doing in Connecticut what it condemns
Malone for doing in Virginia.

BREWSTER agains pleads the baby act.
This time it is in the Ottman case. He
signed the papers in the compromise not
knowing what he was doing. Yet that
signature involved loss to the Treasury
of sS1 600. What a glorious opportunity
this gives Colonel Bliss to have Brewster
and all engaged in the compromise indicted
for Conspiracy !" How eloquent he can
become over the return of the identical"
bills stolen from the Treasury to ottman
and his skillful attorneys.

this conspiracy with some impatience.

There were fifteen aristocratic snobs on
the board of overseers of Harvard Univer-
sity and but eleven men. When forced
equality exists fifteen snobs can outvote
eleven men. Hence it was that yesterday
the aforesaid overseers declined to confer
the degree of LII. D. on Governor Butler.
THE CRITIC believes General Butler will
survive this gratutious insult and that the
people, at least all who are not snobs and
dudes, will freely accord the degree of d.
