Who the New diplomats Arc.

Col. Wickham Hoffman, who was tod ay
nominated as minister to Denmark, served as
an officer in the army during the war of the
rebellion, and was appointed secretary OF
legation in France in 1867. He was then
transferred to London and from London to
st. Petersburg, which post he now vacates on
his promotion as minister resident at Copen-
hagen.
Lucius II. Foote, nominated as minister to
Corea, is q citizen of California and has been
in the consular service for many years. He
has been an efficient and trusted officer. This
promotion is earned by his good record and
the Presidents confidence in his discretion
and ability to discharge creditably the deli
cate duties he will be called upon to perform.
He is the first diplomatic representative ac-
credited by any western power to Corea.
The nomination Of Mr.. Benjamin to Persia
is denomination, made because of a change
in title in the diplomatic bill, which to-day
became a law. For the same reason Mr.. Reed
was nominated as secretary of legation and
consul general to Madrid. He was for many
years in the department Of State, whence he
was transferred to Madrid in 1877.

Errors In the Tariff BnI.

Senators Aldrich and Bayard with the
clerk of the finance committee and the
enrolling clerk of the senate yesterday,
carefully compared the enrolled copy of
the tariff bill sent to the house with the
official copy of the bill as il passed the senate.
Two errors were found in the enrolled bill
which do not appear in the official copy as it
passed the senate. These were corrected, and
the bill was sent back to the house, where 1t
was ordered printed with the senate amend
ments. The first error, and the one which has
caused SO much remark, was the omission of q
comma after the words "fence wire " in the
clause which reads thus: "And provided fur
ther, that on all of the kinds of iron or steel,
or articles or manufacture of iron or
steel hereinbefore in this act enumerated,
except fence wire when galvanized or coated
with any metal or alloy or mixture of metals
by any process whatever, not including
paints, there shall be paid, excepting on what
are known commercially as tin plates, terne
plates, and taggers tin, and hereinbefore
provided for, cent per pound in addition
to the rates provided in this act"
The effect of this omission would be to add
over 81 per ton to the rates already proposed,
whereas the intention of the senate was to
lay this additional duty on the articles named
only when galvanized or coated with other
metals.
The other error was in schedule an" The
bill as it passed the senate contained the
clause, "card clothing 20 cents per square
foot"
Pending the discussion of the bill Mr. AL
drick offered as an amendment, "when manu-
factured from tempered steel wire, 45 cents
per square foot" and the clerk interlined the
words in his copy of the BILL afterward writ
ing the word lost" against them in the mar
gin as the amendment was not agreed to.
BY mistake the amendment was incorpo-
rated Into the enrolled bill, and went to the
house, with the exception of these two clearly
clerical errors, which were corrected-the
enrolled copy was found to be correct.

sprang up between these two political lead
ers, while he laid stone after stone upon the
symmetrical and enduring fabric he himself
was erecting with such consummate art, that
the theories of contending politicians and the
policy of cOntending parties were mere attach
ments TO the imposing and enduring structure
of the constitution, rs he understood it,
TO the organization of the government as he
designed IL. Upon this organization the
storms of faction have beaten for a century,
the rains have descended, the floods have
come the winds have blown, but, founded on
a rock, it has not fallen. The interpreters Of
the constitution have not always been able to
agree the believers Of the constitution have
always stood shoulder to shoulder on common
ground. And while we realize that the safety
of our institutions and the development of
our country have found temporary support in
political triumphs, we may rejoice that the
constitution has remained mistaken, and that
as time goes on VIC come nearer and nearer to
his policy who made the first practical appli-
cation of the principles of government which
were promulgated by the wise and considerate
founders of the republic, whose wisdom and
consideration Washington alone of all men
represented.
The structure was completed around its
base lay the fragments of dogma and passion
and interest which had been Clipped of by
the architects; and by its side, superior to all
these rejected designs, stood Washington, tho
guardian of the great work. His people, like
all the tribes of men who are passing from an
old to u new form of civilization, faltered
often, listened to unwise and timd counselors,
looked back to the flesh pots they had left be-
hind them, set up their golden calf in the
wilderness, resigned reluctantly their modes
of worship, remembered their heathen gods
with religious affection, learned their great
lesson slowly. But he patiently led them on,
brought the tablets down from the mountain,
rnypulpd IN fhpu1 tha (tn1 rpl,ulyp1 thpir
faults, deposed their misleaders, endured their
iOllies, and, Mt the close ofhis career, surveyed
from the mountain top the broad land of rich
and noble promise toward which during the
long and weary journey he had turned their
eyes. And SO he stands in history by the side
Of the great law giver who brought Israel out
of bondage, and who pointed the way to
national career which first opened the door of
Light and truth to advancing man. Nor will his
work molder and decay until his people forget
his glory and close their hearts to the mes
sengers of his faith as n patriot and statesman.

AN ELoPEMENr.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 10.-Social
circles have been considerably stirred up
the past day or two on account of a run
away match with matrimonial intent, in
which the oldest daughter of Attorney
General G.. p. Nj. Turner. who is editor
and proprietor of the Memphis Weekly
iScimeto7., and Mr.. Moore. formerly col
lector for that paper, were the partici-
pants. The event would have attracted
but little attention beyond the excitement
of the moment when it became known.
but since nothing has been heard of the
runaways since their leaving, the interest
is becoming more intense among her for
mer associates and painful to her parents
Mr. Moore was recently from Virginia,
and while resident of Memphis estab-
lished himself in good society and by his
gentlemanly department won many warm
friends. who regard him worthy of the
young lady who has cast her lot with him.
The parents of the young lady had hoped
their daughter would adopt the stage for
which she had developed talent, and
when Mr.. Moore asked them for the hand
of their daughter this was the only objec
ton urged Mr.. Moore and his affianced
put their heads together and resorte0 to
the runaway stratagem to thwart the stage
plans, she not wishing to adopt that pro
fession and he determined that she should
not if she did not wish to. The suppose
tion is that the runaways are somewhere
in Virginia in the vicinity of the former
home of the bridegroom enjoying a happy
honeymoon.

A RICH RAILROAD COMPANY
fSan Francisco Chronicle. ]

The Cananian Pacific Railway com
pany is one of the richest corporations
in the world. 1t started out with a grant
of 756 miles of road built and in Oper-
alton; another grant of %, 900, 900 acres
of land, said to be worth on an average
So per acre, and a government guarantee
of the clear gift of $25, 600, 900 to be paid
by instalments, so muth on the compile
of each section of twenty miles Its
charter exempts the road, equipment and
capital stock from taxes forever, and il
has free right of way, with all the mate
rails for construction and equipment free
from duty The whole mileage to be
built by the company is less than 2,400
miles. The eastern half of it will not
cost more than $f5. 600 a mile, or SIS
600, 900 The western half, including
passage through two ranges of mountains
may cost an average of $35. 700 mile, or
$42, 000,0 900; a total probable cost of
$50, 900, 900, of which the government
pays $25 900, 000 leaving for the com
pany but $35,000,000, which 1000, 600
acres of their land grant from Winnipeg
westward will pay. They will then have
left their entire capital stock and 10, 000,-
900 acres of land for the construction of
connections and branches and equipment,
and for the creation of connecting lines
of steamships from Montreal to Europe
at the East, and from Port Moody with
Australia. China and San Francisco at
the west. A company so rich in funds
and exempt from all taxes forever andiso
large surplus ought to become regula-
tor of all the other transcontinental rail
ways anti force them into reasonable aud
fair treatment of the public.
