THE WASHINGTON LOBBY.
(MCrehouse Clarion.1

tMCfehouSe CLARION.
TIE most disgraceful thing con-
nected with the affairs of our gov
eminent is the existence of that
corrupt and corrupting excresence
of American politics, the Washing
ton Lobby.
1t is indeed humiliating to the
patriotic American citizen to wit
moss the corrupt measures and rob-
bling schemes introduced and sup
ported by the aid Of this body in
our national Legislative halls. The
grandest frauds and most magnif-
cent swindles, if they have the sup
port of the Lobby, generally stand
a good show to be favorably con-
sidered by our Congress. The
power of the Lobby has consider
ably diminished of late years, but
We nov see it making its appear
ance in all its pristine glory, in aid
OF the Tariff bill, which is the most
imp ortant bill now before Congress.
We see from the Washington spe-
Gals that the protectiolists and
great monopolists Of the East are
using their most vigorous efforts to
pass the Tariff bill, and to accom-
plish this purpose the powers of
the Lobby have been called into
active existence.
The professional Lobbyist is al
ways on hand. and is eager to work
through any fraudulent scheme, if
he is well paid to do SO. The pro-
tectionists recognize the fact that
the Tariff bill, as reported by the
Tariff Commission, il obnoxious to |

The New York Herald draws at

THE SHERWIN EDUCATION,
AL BILL.
(Capitolian-Advocate.l

lCapltollan-Adyocate
It is stated that the Sherwin edu-
cational bill meets with more favor
in Congress than tho Blair educa-
tional bill, about which there was
so much talk at the last session OF
Congress. The Sherwin bill APP
propriates $4,000, 900 annually, for
five years. to aid in the support of
common schools, which amount is
to be known as the common school
fund. This annual appropriation
is to be apportioned by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, to the several
States and Territories, according to
the number of their representative
population of ten years old and up
wards who cannot read aud write,
as shown by the tenth census of the
United States. Before any State
or Territory can receive any por-
ton OF this money. it must provide
by law for the free common school
of all its children of
school age, without distinction of
color, for at least three months in
each year. In no case is any State
or Territory to be allowed, of the
said fund, greater sum than such
State or Territory shall have ex.
pended the previous year for COM

The Current OF Immigration.

The human tide ever flows, with n
volume and force which increase year by
year, from Europe to this country. But,
during the decade that has passed, the
final destination of the immigrants does
not seem to have..conformed to any fixed
law. Formerly immigration stopped at
the great cities OF the Eastern sea-board.
Only few years ago Che tendency Of
the cnrrent was TO the Southwest. A
State or q Territory was favored with a
'boom, and thither flocked native-born
and foreigner alike. Nor does immigra-
tion invariably move toward region
offering the greatest advantages, while,
very frequently, the advantages held
forth are not real. By dint OF lying the
most bare-faoed on the part Of paid
agents, or of amateur newspaper CORE
spondents, the stream Is directed for a
while into certain determined channels.
Yet II is far more difficult to bring about
such result to-day than il was ten, OF
even five, years ago. Special represent
atives Of the press now supply reliable
information to him seeking home, while
by many railroad companies great faeili
ties are offered for examining before final
settlement. At present the current flows
through California northward, but within
few months our turn will come. More
over the immigrants who are going tc
Oregon and Washington are person.
from the northern countries OF Europe,
who desire TO find in the new world sur
roundings of soil and climate similar tt
those they have known in the old. They
will devote themselves to the cultiva
tion OF grain and fruits Of the kind
familiar to them. The effect of cheaI
and rapid transit from Southern Europe
via New Orleans, must soon bring tc
Southern California immigrants to whom
our climate win be as grateful as thai
they leave, and who are skilled in vine
dressing and wine.making, as well as ii
other branches of husbandry which hav,
found n congenal home among us. TIL,
loss of the immigration now going by US
to our northern neighbors will be NOR,
than compensated by the acquisitions W,
shall receive presently from France, and
Spain, and Italy.

In refusing to confer the degree oI
LID. on Governor Butler, the overseers
of Harvard, we are constrained to say,
simply made asses of themselves. Fol-
many years il has been the custom foi
that university to confer this degree
upon the chief.executivcs OF Massachus
etts, and the act has not had, nor can il
have, any political or moral significance
whatever. Harvard gave the degree tc
one Hayes, who was neither great man
nor great lawyer, and great only as q
political fraud. Many of the governors
whom the great university has honored
in this way were very little men--were
not lawyers, and were unable even to
read their diplomas. Some years since
the obtaining of such degree was looked
upon by recipients as an honor, Else
where it is still so regarded, and un-
doubtedly Longfellow, with warrantable
pride, received that degree from both
the great English seats of learning.
Among us, however, doctors of laws
are rs thick as 'autumnal leaves in
Vallambrosa. Any man of viearious
learning and research is at all times ex.
posed to infection, and the honor can be
had Of some colleges for current coin of
the republic. Great men should wish,
as Cicero wished in respect of statue,
that posterity ask why they are not
doctors rather than why they are. As
to Butler, whatever he may be political
ly or morally, no man will deny that he
is more learned in the law than any of
the men who exhibited this childishness
by refusing to give him the degree; that
he is one of the half dozen greatest law.
yers of the nation. The refusal must
give considerable amusement to the
refused, whose ability as a lawyer was
recognized long ago by more than one
seat of learning. And wiley Ben will
rejoice that "the overseers refused the
degree because Gov. Buffers character
is NOT consistent with the merits of the
college, 'veritas. g" When we think of
Hayes we are led to reflect that consist
ency must bea jewel of the first water
at Cambridge. BY this refusal the cor
poration OF Harvard has stultified itself.
1t has proven itself to be illiberal illogi.
cal and preiudiced 1t has done more
than this; it has thrown a gratuitous
insult in the face OF the people of Mas.
sachusetts, by which Governor Butler
was elected TO office; it has weakened
the political cause it sought to
serve, and has given material aid to the
man it sought to weaken. Vet the fail
ure to comprehend human nature is,
perhaps, but natural in the case of these
sages by Charles side; men who know
their Fellows from books only, rarely
learn % know them as they are.

.snEffIELp is feeling disastrously the
effect of the new tariff of the United
States. Some of the manufacturers of
cutlery in that city have stopped making
any additions to stock on hand, and
thousands of skilled workmen are now
idle, with prospective want in the near
future. Many knife manufacturers of
Sheffield, and other places where max.
ing cutlery is carried on, are of opinion
that the new American tariff will ruin
their trade, and bring about the removal

ought to agree on a verdict of some
kind. You can retire again.

the guilt of any one of the parties, /
wish to know il we can report to the
Court.
Judge Wylie-No; you must report
your verdict as whole There are sub.
stantially but two questions in the in
dictment. First, as to conspiracy; on
that you have the right to say whether
the defendants, or any of them, were
concerned with Reredell in that con.
splracy, If you decide that there was a
conspiracy with him, you must say who
was engaged in it. But that is not ALL
You must find at least one overt act fol.
lowing, II You find conspiracy and one
overt act, it is your duty to render a
verdict as to the parties so found, and
that covers the whole ground. A yer.
dict of guilty must be general verdict
in that way. A verdict of not guilty, of
course, covers the whole ground, and
that is the rule as to the whole or any
number of defendants.
The Court took recess until TO- A. NJ,

it would meet to receive the verdict, il
the jury should agree upon one before
