Judge Davis,s ReslgnatIon.


The New York Times says that this papor
"has declared that the assertion as to Senator
Davis's intention Ito resign the presidency of
the senato) was silly tale and an inven-
tion." The Ercning Star says that its state
ment to the effect that acting Vice Presi-
dent Davis would resign that Office before the
close of the present session Of the senate was
denied by one of our contemporaries -
meaning thereby THE REPUBLICAN.
To all Of which the reply is that at no timo
has THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN denied that
Judge Davis would resign or even asserted
that there would be any impropriety in such
action on his part.
The Times and the Star both know very
well that what we did deny was statement
in the Erening Star of Feb. "a that corrupt
bargain had been entered into between Judge
Davis and tho republicans for the continue
tion in Office of the democratic officials Of the
senate. The words in which the Star made
its charge against Judge Davis were as fol-
lows:
1t is said Judge Davis is willing to vacate the
chair on the third Of March provided the repub-
lcans and democrats can agree upon his success
sor and provided further that the republicans
will consent to leave the present organization of
the senate undisturbed until next December. 1t
is said also that some of the republicans obect to
any conditions being imposed upon them, and
that rather than assent to any they will favor q
special session.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN of the
twenty-sixth of February defended Judge
Davis and the republican senators from the
above charge in the following language:
The price suggested in the plan above quoted Is
that for the privilege of putting republican in
the chair on the third Of March the republican
senators will pay Judge Davis as follows: No man
shall take the place who is not agreed on by the
democrats and the republi cans and the majority
| ofthe next senate shall not disturb the political
friends OF the minority in the senate offices until
December next. This would be civil service re-
| form with vengeance. 1t would be peddling
the Offices out in exchange for u republican pTesi-
dent pro tenn dictated by the democrats 1t Is
maniestly wholly an invention. There is no all
of plausibility about it. II is an imputaton upon
the honor Of Judge Davis and of republican sena'
tors. And such are the silly tales with which the
public is daily RECALLED.
The Times and Star insist upon the state
ment of the Star above quoted. We reiterat,
our denial of it. The republicans have mad,
no agreement as to the esenate offices. There's
ignation of Judge Davis carries with it nj
presumption that it is for tho benefit of few
ofiiceholders. Tho judge will pray to be de
livered from such friends as those to whom
this is a reply.

The street Cleaners.

Attention is requested to n statement pub
lished this morning as to tho manner in
which the contracts for cleaning the streets
are not carried out. 1t is fact which car
ries its own comment, that the gentlemen
having those contracts arc treating them
with most remarkable disregard of
the conditions to follow which they put
themselves under bond. II is part of the
duty Of the district engineer to see that
this abuse is corrected. If that officer has
anything to say as to the reason why he
does not sec to it, the people of the district
would be glad indeed to hear him.

Street BeRgarY.

If there is any law against vagrancy in this
district, ample and exasperating reason exists
for asking why it is not enforced. Every one
who has occasion to pass along the streets of
Washington is annoyed by beggars who are
obviously imposters. Sickening deformities
are thrust under the eyes of passengers and
lachrymose humbugs as able of body as any
laboring men are met at every turn. Con-
sumers should be given opportunities to be-
como producers upon moral as well Gs legal
grounds Nothing tends more to helplessness
and ultimate criminality anidleness.

Concerning. a Manufactured Sentiment.


The statement made by free trade journals
that the agricultural communities Of the
great northwest are opposed to the continu-
ance Of a protective tariff, although false, has
basis for its inception. That there is a cur
rent Of sentiment in favor of free trade
in that section Of our country is true,
in the sense that an artificial sentiment
in that direction Is being assiduously
and insidously cultivated by the
advocates Of that anti-Ameriean heresy. No
pains are spared by the emissaries of foreign
industries TO saturate the rural minds with
ideas concerning the evils Of protection and
the beauties of unrestricted intercourse with
European countries. Papers, pamphlets,
books, and tracts are sent to farm houses by
the score, aggregating tons Of literature
inimical TO American interests. Every farmer
has had placed in his hands ono or moro
spccious pleas for free trade. These efforts are
made not only by the hirolings of the Golden
club and other old world institutions, but by
the employees Of similar institutions in New
England, which are supported and fostored
by importers who have no regard for any
thing but that which will put money in their
purses. AS to the real, unbiased opinions of

The President As n Statesman.


There is no doubt that certain politicians
have been grievously disappointed by the course
Of President Arthur since he took possession Of
his great office. They hoped for narrow partisan.
ship, where they have found the broad Views and
well considered acts of statesman. Appeals TO
factional feeling and the demands OF personal
spite or avarce have fallen upon ears 80 deafthat
reyengeful and sroils hunting political celebrities
are coming to understand that they have lite to
hope for from the present administration. He
must be a blind and prejudicedl1Snan who will
deny that the President has usually shown most
admirable desire TO rise to the height OF his dgni-
fed position, and consult the best thought of the
nation rather than those who haye been eager to
presume upon past friendship, and crowd their
advice upon him. 1t must be admitted that the
executioner has seldom had more complete
rest than during the last seventeen months.
1t the President has been slow to
create vacancies IN the civil service he
has been equally cautious in filling
most of those which have occurred. Certain
exceptions could be mentioned, no doubt, but
the rule has been TO take the best ailable nate
rial for important posts, From Secretary Folger
and Judge Gray down to minor appointees In the
various departments many Of the selections made
have won almost universal approval while COM
paratively few have excited widespread resent
ment. The readiness with which the senate has
confirmed almost all of the nominees speaks well
for the care with which they were chosen. The
President has prRcticed as he preached. Recon-
mending revision Of the tariff, he appointed a
commission which revised IT, Advocating civil
service reform in his message, he improved the
first opportunity TO see that the commission in
charge oft was strong for reform. SO IL has been
in other instances, and there is every reason to
believe that the disappointment of those who
have expected President Arthur TO sink TO the
level ola mere office dispenser will increase TO
the end of his term He has conducted himself
with great discretion aud shown both ability and
willingness to rise from politics TO statesmanship
