Railing nt the sunreme Court.

Foreign exchanges reveal the very natural in.
dignation and disgust with which the intelligence
that the supreme court at Washington will not in
terfere to compel Virginia officials TO recognize the
state bonds is received abroRd,-NetU York Tfib-

Isn't it awful2 Wonder if the court won't
grant the foreign exchanges rehearing? 1t
is hard to bear-the indignation and disgust
of the London hack-writers toward our high
est judicial tribunal. Of course the court
must be wrong The hack-writers for the
British press could not possibly be mistaken.
The Tribune follows the above by an extract
from the London Telegraph, in which the bold
slasher who writes everlastingly demolishcs
tho court for being governed by marrow
technical rules" and notifies Americans that
if he is hereafter called on by them
for any of his British capital |"
they must be prepared to see their appeals
examined in the light which this decision
of the supreme court throws upon their no
tions of good faith" In this conflict of opin-
ion between our own supreme court and this
English kinsman of Mr.. Richard Swiveler
who scintllatos through the London Telegraph,
of course the New York Tribune, conducted by
Mr.. Jacob Whitelaw Reid, is with the latter
We say of course, because il is the side
for the advocacy of which there is somebody
to pay, and if ]. w. II. is hunting up any
fight against the side that will pay, he has
changed his gait since he was but hired
man on the Tribune. Mr., Reid, in giving his
concurrence in the legal opinion of Mr..
Swiveler wakes very vehement, and exhibits
"a characteristic disregard of truth in stating
the controversy between the state of Virginia
and the holders of fraudulent over issue of
her bonds Ho calls upon Virginia to be
ashamed, mode Of censure which will affect
that old commonwealth very much as the
baying Of dog effects the moon,
If Mr.. Jacob Whitelaw Reid has been paid
single bond of Virginia, of the smallest dc.
nomination, for anything he can do to cause
old coupons to be received for taxes in that
state, those who paid it to him have been
swindled to that extent. Virginia's legisla.
tion is impregnable, and the people of that
state will see that it is not changed to please
the clients either of Mr., Reid or of his London
co-workers of the foreign exchanges" Vir-
ginia has not repudated dollar. She pays

reduce the number of internal revenue collection
districts from 1875 to So the central organ of the ad
minist alton ought to have an opinion. Has it2
And ifso, what is that opinion like2- Washington
Post.
The administration has no organ here, but
as THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN knows from
the Posts habit that tho above questions arc
intended for IT, they must in courtesy be an
swcrcd. We are not sure that any newspaper
writer is called upon to have an opinion as to
tho exact number of subordinates necessary
for thetransaction of the business of any bu-
rcau in either of the executive departments
It Is probable that even as we'll in
formed person as the querist of
the Post would hardly be able, without adding
to his present information to take Commits
sioncr Raum's chair and proceed TO direct the
slaughter of just the proper number ofinternal
revenue collectors in tho country. THE Ma
TGoNAL REPUBLICAN, has not investigated
the business of the one hundred and twenty
six collection districts, and regrets to be un-
by our neighbor so important. The changes
made by recent legislation in the inter
nal revenue system have cut off some
duties, and have imposed some new ones for
protection against fraud under the provision
for rebate on the tobacco tax. If the Post
will make IT an object, we will cause the sub
icct to be investigated, aud will then render
an opinion. 1t will require time and labor,
for which compensation will have to be made,
in addition to the expenses of the agents we
should have to send around for information.
If we had all the facts-viz the amount Of
work done under each collector, and the
merits of each one, the number of subordi-
mates employed by them, and whether they
would work as well in large districts where
some would be farther from tho center-we
might form an opinion. If we had an opin-
ion our neighbor should certainly know, not
only what it was like" but precisely what
it was. Not having the facts, we haven't tho
opinion. Sorry, but we haven't.

WITHOUT the least wish in the world to

to tho new chief of police that If the force
is to be reorganzed there should be as little
delay as possible. 1t is of course expected
that he will desire TO first become
thoroughly quainted with his force, but he
should lose no time in wedding out the incom-
potent and inefficient. Let him commence
at headquarters, aud when he has surrounded
himself with perfectly reliable u' able Off
GERS who would not allow corruption such as
has been developed to so on under their

On the first of last July there was available
large amount of money for the extension. of
the water supply in this city. A course of ex-
pcriments have been going on very much ever
since-and the only clearly defined result thus
far arrived at is a hole in the ground, The
people of tho district have right TO
complain of the time thus wasted. A greater
supply is urgently needed, and has been ur-
gently needed for many years. Latterly,
under a squirting up given by The REPUBLI-

given to the northern part Of the city, and
something was done to prevent or punish
