Inspectors OF Live stock, &c.

Senator Logan yesterday introduced in the
senate, by request, q bill to provide for the
appointment by the President of inspectors
of live stock, dressed meats, and hog pro-
ducts intended for foreign shipment, such
inspectors to be located in customs districts
of the United States in which it may be
deemed advisable to provide for their loca-
ton, and not to exceed six in number for any
one district. 1t provides that 1t shall be the
duty of such inspectors, upon application, to
inspect live stock, hog products, or dressed
upon the payment to him by the person ap-
plying for his services of reasonable fees and
charges, to furnish written certificate OF
such inspection, setting forth the time and
place of the examination and the condition
and quality of the articles examined.

THE enthusiastic reception of Gen. Gordon
at Khartoum is a striking evidence of his
great influence in the Soudan. 1t is tribute
of which he may well be proud, for it shows
how we'll his just and humane government
of that region is remembered and cherished
by its inhabitants. 1t will produce
a feeling of relief in England, for
it is a valuable indication of good
results likely to be effected by Gordon
in bringing about peace in the disturbed re-
gions. If FL Mshdi is prepared to be satisfied
with peaceful recognition of his sovereignty
over Kordofan, and possibly Darfour, Gen.
Gordon may soon be in position to return
down the Nile with his already great repu-
tation vastly enhanced.

THE financial discussion now going on in
the senate shows very thoroughly that no
division is likely to take place on party
lines. 1t is not many years since such
discussion would have attracted the deepest
attention of the country. Crossroads poll
ticisns everywhere would have been ready
to repeat tho senatorial arguments at second
hand to eager auditors all over the land.
The piping times of greenbackism," " fiat
money" and the other financial isms which
at onetime threatened to disrupt parties have
gone, however, and, important as the ques-
tion before the senate may be, it excites no
more than a passing interest.

Mr.. GLADSTONE has again triumphed over
the conservatives, but by a majority narrow
enough to leave the ministry no very pro-
nounced ground for rejoicing. John Bull
worships success, and the reverses sustained
in Egypt caused Mr Gladstone the loss Of
considerable liberal support Sir Stat
ford Northcote's resolution of censure
was defeated on tho division last
night by vote of 81 to 262.
On account of the accession of
the Irish members the conservatives had
some hopes of carrying the motion, but the
news from Khartoum and the active steps
being taken for the relief Of suakin and
Tokar no doubt had their effect SO that the
liberal whips were able to muster respect
able majority. 1t looks like case in which
the Irish members would have best served
their ends by supporting the government in
stead of voting against it.

WASHINGTON is full of Chicago and st.
Louis men, and yet the situation is as peace
full as it was before the rivalous citizens of
the two great western towns arrived. Though
each delegation is after the democratic con-
vention, the interchange Of good feeling be-
tween them is quite noticeable, tho exhibition
in that respect being much the same as would
be afforded by two cats in pursuit of the same

DOES Unser Fritz really want q fight with
Uncle Sam2 In addition to the slap in the
face administered through tho return of the
Lasker resolution comes intelligence of out
RACES on German American citizens in the
German states. These citizens, returning on
visits there, are seized and subjected to mill
tary duty. This latter is an old grievance,
which has heretofore threatened to become q
cause for real trouble. If Germany must have
row, we suppose she can be accommodated.

THE irrepressible Bradlsugh has again been
returned to parliament by his faithful North
ampton constituency. 1t is the fourth time
he has been elected, and it really seems that
the constancy of his supporters ought to be
rewarded by his being permitted to take his
seat. Perhaps parliament may at length
conclude that this is the easiest way to get
rid of nuisance.

EVERY proposition looking to the greatness,
the glory, the strength, or the prosperity of
the American union has been mot with the
dogma of state rights. If a new country
could be discovered and populated, who would
think of giving it a form of government by
which it would be divided into petty states or
impediments to its greatness? State rights is
an evil which came to us Of necessity. Tho
sooner it goes the better.

PEDESTRIANS upon the streets are bound
to exercise due care and caution. They have
no right, for instance, to stand in the middle
Of street and expect all drivers of vehicles
to respect their position. But when exercis-
ing all proper and reasonable care in crossing
streets OF alleys, they have in all cases SUI
perior temporary right of way to that pos
sessed by the driver of vehicle. This has
been settled in numerous decisions of the
courts everywhere. If the evidence in the
case of George Bolts showed the driver
was not to blame he was justly ac-
quilted, but it is an unqusstionable
fact that there is an immense amount of un-
lawful driving permitted on the streets o.

ment for smuggling $500, 900 worth OF liquor into
the colonies A friend of the lecturer was engaged
not long since by descendants Of Hancock to
gather material from which to write the history of
HauCock's life. The material was collected and
read, when members of the family Immediately
offered the writer $1,000 to hand over the work
and not make any further investigation. The

THE NATIoNAL-"oTHELLo."


Tho grand tragedy of "Othello" was pre-.
sented at the National to full and critical
audience. Mr.. Mccullough took the part of
Othello, and was generally we'll supported by
the company. Noticeable in this support
was Mr. Joseph Haworth as Iago. Without
at all rising to the heights Of the ideal Iago,
Mr.. Haworth's presentation was intense.
forceful, and strictly within the limits re-
quired for the character, and was honored
with a call before the curtain. Tho Cassie of
Mr.. Mark Price was portraiture of more
than ordinary merit. Mr. Langdon's Bra
bantio was commendable. though perhaps a
little deficient in tho traditional polish of the
Venetian nobleman. The Desdemona of
Miss Viola Allen was the feature of the
play. Miss Aliens portraiture of the
gentle, modest, retiring Desdemona, was
graceful, true, and pleasing. The childlike
qualities of the Moors wife were presented
with such artless fidelity to nature that the
audience were at once thrilled and satisfied.
Mrs. Fosters Emilio was also pleasing
presentation.
