Grand Forks Herald: It is a matter
of regret and surprise to the may
friends Of the st Paul Globe in Dakota
that go generally correct and clever a
journal should permit the use of its
columns for the purpose of. villifyiDg
our delegate in congress, Hon. John B.
Raymond. The last and most inelegant
and cranky one of the Washington spec.
ial kilograms to that journal Is full of
misstatement and virulence from the be.
ginning to the end and was doubtless
dictated by sheer personal malice or envy
of the delegates increasing popularity.
What is astonishing about it is that the
Globe should be duped into
publishing the indecent and villify-
ing assault, when it is striving to
gain patronage and good will in Dakota
where Delegate Raymond now stands
higher than ever. We arenot very much
disposed to tolerate libel upon our most
trusted representative, which the Globe
should have had sufficient perspicacity
to know. The burthen of the telegram
referred to is that Raymond has no in.
huence and but for him, Dakota would
spring instantaneousIy into the elyseum
of all her desires. It is simply the old
Ordway vail set to lower ecale of music,
and if not.inspired by one of that gang, is
the petty vaporing of some disappointed
self-seeker who has failed to snbsidize
the delegate from Dakota to his un-
worthy schemes or unhallowed ambition.
Now the truth Of the matter is that
while Delegate Raymond is not Q
pempous and obtfusive individual, he is
industrious, prudent and alive to the
wants of the territory. He has made
many warm friends at the departments
and among both senators and members,
as lis personally known to US, and he is
treated with due courtesy and consider.
alton. A comparison between his status
and that Of the other delegates would re-
dound quite favorably to him. He is on
the right side of public questions, and
by his stamina has won encomiums even
from his enemies who month ago were
loudest in berating him. In our opinion,
the Globe is taking very unwlse course
in thus becoming the sewer for Wash.

Diplomatic Secretary Fish.

Governor Hamilton Fish was noted
for his department, and he took great
pride in sending to the courts of Eu-
rope in "A diplomatic capacity gentle
men whose dress and manners would
not excite comment He was much
concerned, however, when it became
his duty to commission Horace May
nard, of Tennessee, as Minister to Tur-
KEY, and Godlove S. Ortiz. of Indiana,
as Minister to Austria. Neither one
was remarkable for his observance Of
the social proprieties and it was some
time before Governor Fish could devise
to give them lesson in dress. At last,
so the story goes an idea struck him,
and sending for Orth he said something
like this to the Indiana statesman:
MIR Ortiz | have favor to ask
YOU
Anything | can do for you, Mr.. Sec
rotary, I'll be glad to-.
Thank you, Mr. Ortiz, thank you,
sir, you are very good. Mr.. Maynard,
Won know, is an excellent gentleman,
but he is not accustomed to the ways Of
society as you or | are, " and the Secre-
tary smiled pleasantly at the guileless
Orth, who had on sky-blue neckte
and unblackened boots. After having
clinched his point he continued: II am
afraid he will invent some startling in
novation on the costume usual among
gentlemen when they are out in society
He may startle the foreign courts with
a red necktie and a sack coat, and now
what / want to ask you, Mr.. Orth, is to
give him hint, as you are both going
over on the same steamer, about what
you or | should wear on social occa-
sions-the dress coat, black trousers
and waist coat, and the simple white
tie. You will know precisely how to
do it, and you win oblige me greatly
by attending to the matter of so much
Importance, as you, as a member Of
polite society, know
The hint was taken, and Mr.. Ortiz
was noted among the diplomatists at
