Fltz-John Porter's willy Friends.

The Sunday Washington Capital says
Representative Everhart, of the Chester
district, Pennsylvania, during the Fitz-
John Porter discussion last week, desired
to offer an amendment providing that, in
the event of the passage of the bill, Gen.
Porter should not receive any pay what
ever, but should simply be placed on the
retired list. An inkling Of his intention
and when the Pennsylvania rose to offer
his amendment he was cut off by motion
for the previous question. Time had been
promised him by three Of his associates,
but at the last minute they deserted him,
and his amendment failed for want of
recognition"

A lively old maiden lady, Miss Rebecca
Jones, was committed to Ludlow street
Jail in New York Monday for refusing to
testify in the celebrated Hammersley will
case. She announced her intention to re-
main in Jail until resurrection morn be-
fore she would tell what she knows. She
said as long as breath was in her body
she will never open her month to the nasty
lawyers. "See them," she said, "a regu-
lar army, henpecking everybody, but they
won't henpeck me-" Miss Jones seems to
be suffering penalty for her truthfulness.
If she had testified falsely or pretended to
know nothing, she would not have been
imprisoned. OF course, Miss Jones' con-
duct in not obeYing the mandate Of the
court is not to be commended, but she
evidently has some Of the material out Of
which heroines are made in her compost

Edmunds' Great Mistake,

Senator Edmunds seems to be afflicted with
the notion that he is running this country.
During the session OF the Virginia Legislature,
several months ago, a resolution was passed
inviting Senators Malone and Riddleberger
to resign. This resolution was sent to MIR.
Edmunds, President pro tempOre Of the Sen
ate, with the request that he would lay it be-
fore that body. He has never complied with
the request, and it is not believed that he ever

While the departments at Washington
are arranging for displays at the Worlds
Fair at New Orleans, the persons in
charge should not neglect to place the
most salient and interesting features on
exhibition. Each one of the departments
might show up some venerable relics of
Republican rascality. Naval contractors,
gambling army officers, swindling Indian
agents and corrupt attorneys might be ar
ranged in a group that would be both
large and impressive.

VanderbiIt and the Panic.

on his arrival in London Mr.. Wander
bilt was interviewed with respect to the
Wall street panic. He left New York i'm
mediately after the failure of Grant a
Ward and before the panic began. Mr..
Vanderbilt SAYS that the panic was owing
10 three things. viz: the haste to get rich,
speculation in worthless securities and
the dishonesty Of men who occupy posi-
lions Of uust when they have access to
large amounts Of money. There is moth
ing new in Mr.. Vanderbilt's views, and
they attract attention only because Of his
vast wealth and his position in financial
circles. 1t is undoubtedly true that
much Of the stuff that is bought
and sold in Wall street has only a
fictitious value. Those who invest their
money i'm it know that it is worthless, but
they hope to yet rid Of it at profit before
anything occurs TO destroy absolutely con-
fidcnea in 10. As rule a stock that pays
no dividend is worth little or nothing. At
the first signs Of a financial storm its
market price sinks rapidly until investors
refuse il at any price. The cause of a
good deal OF the trouble last week was
the inability of banks and banking firms
to realize on their securities. The secur-
tiles had no real value and nobody
wanted them. The anxiety to get rich
i'm year or two leads men to
take risks and enter into schemes
that are startling to those who are accus-
toned 10 the ways Of legitimate business.
When the risks turn out badly and the
schemes fail the temptation to use trust
funds TO retrieve losses is so strong that it
is frequently not resisted. Mr.. Wander
bilt thinks the recent panic will have a
good effect. 1t has shown the public how
much absolutely worthless stuff is iloated
in Wall street. and will make investors
more cautious. Legitimate stocks in the
future will command a good price, while
those which have no real value cannot be
sold at ALL II may be that the panic will
be productive Of some good.

A New Orleans paper says that a move
ment is on foot in that city TO abolish the
flee lunch counters in the leading saloons.
New Orleans and every other city needs
lunch houses not connected with saloons
where gentlemen or ladies can get coffee,
tea or lunch at the price usually paid for
a glass of whisky. Such establishments
would pay the proprietors handsomely,
and would do more for the temperance
cause than all the lectures that can be
delivered from now till doomsday.

Ex-President Davis has done nothing
since the war that has not been candid,
manly and free from any evidence Of a
desire to pose before the country. There

hostility to the government. Instead OF
honoring Mr.. Davis for his openness, they
denounce him because he VIII not play

Gen. GRANTS WEALTH.
Showing That he Is Not by Any Means
a Palmer


tbs estimated that Grants real-estate
holdings throughout the country are
easily worth $4,000, says New York
special to the Boston Herald. His pro-
perry in this city alone would have seemed
to him twenty-five years ago an utterly
unattainable fortune, but, although real
estate is rising here and doubtless every
where in value, suppose we call it $780,
000-an utterly inadequate sum In my
Judgment. You have doubtless read. IN
common with the rest Of the world, num-
erous stories of the hospitality with which
Grant was treated by potentates, East
and West, as he belted the globe IN his all
embracing trip; but, my dear friends. you
have no conception at all OF what that
trim meant to Grant. His magnificent
house uptown is stored absolutely Ike a
museum. with curiOs and costly presents,
the value Of which has been repeatedly
stated at a sum so large tnat, under
ordinary circumstances, would appear
absurd. The General belief is that, at an
auction. these curios would bring, with
what else is in the house, not less than
halt million dollars. OF course, their
absolute value, when parted with piece by
niece. would be much more, but, at low
estimate. we will call it half a million.
Now. what the General has in his horses,
and he is very fond Of fine team; what
he has in eduipages and jewels and orna-
ments and bonds and stocks and other
evidences of this worlds goods, we know
not. but we do know that he has $25O,OOO,
given him by jay Gould and others, i'll the
hands of trustees, which he can not touch,
but the interest of which is at its disposal.
In the face Of this we are asked by Sena-
tor Edmunds and the Grant mOnomaniacs
of the day to regard him as a poverty
stricken individual. to whose yearly in
come should be added the pleasant sum Of
$4,000. Now put it in typographical
form, and let US see just how this man
stands:
