WHOLESALE ASSASSINATION.

A telegram from San Francisco tells o
the discovery of an association there
whose purpose is wholesale assassination
The names of many prominent men ap
pear upon the prospective list of the
society, including Senators and Congress
men, Judges and Governors. ALI these
men were to be killed on general prin.
ciples' because they were obnoxious tc
the ultra-Socialists of San Francisco. A
notable fact in connection with this
society is that the four men who were
arrested in Montgomery avenue are all
Germans, and are members of the Anti
Cooley League. In the rooms of the
four men arrested were found a COM
plete labratory and everything essential
to the manufacture of dynamite The
society seems to have been prepared to
carry on the business of assassination,
and it is likely that operations would have
been begun in a short while. 1t is gen
orally supposed that in Europe the Social
lists and Nihilists wage war only on kings
and the tyrarnical system of government
which everywhere prevails on the Cont
nent, but in America they are found wag-
ing war on society at large Why should
it be so? In Europe they are supposed
to carry on their agitation and warfare
for the purpose of compelling recog-
milton OF political rights. In America
political rights are the common inherit
ance OF the citizen, and the foreigner may
make himself an American citizen on
very easy terms. In America they war
upon society in contradistinction to gov
ernment. Their propaganda is in every
way destructive and in no way
constructive. Their methods are far
worse than the methods of the vigilantes,
for the vigilantes gave a warning their
intended victims.
That there are many evils in society
and that many wrongs exist, is confessed
by all, but the Socialists and Nihilists
propose to destroy human life to right |
these wrongs. They may destroy life,
but that will not cure the evils which ex-
list in society. To make the State the |
of the lives and property of the
citizens would be but to invite evils of |
another kind. The wrongs of society are
as old as sin itself, and they will exist
80 long as society itself shall be. These
evils may be palliated to very consider
able extent, but they will never be COM
oletely eradicated. But the methods of
he San Francisco society, whatever may
De their wrongs, are the methods of the
and those who employ them
should be treated as the common enemy
of mankind

AUCTION OF VETERAN FAIR GOODS,
A snrceaafnI Event.


ON account Of the liberal contributions Of
the citizens to the fair of the Union Vet
eran Corps, coming in even up to the last
day. IL was found necessary to dispose of a
largo amount Of goods of every variety at
auction, which took place in Abner's Hall
last night, Comrade N. b. Fithian acting
as auctioneer to tho satisfaction Of all con-
cerned, as he put in his pert jokes at the
right place every time. The articles sold
consisted Of rocking and Other easy aud
fancy chairs, lounges, framed pictures,
quilts mats, rugs, lamps, miniature orna-
ments, vases, dishes, stuffed birds ,casod)
toilet articles, tides, lambrequins, barrels
Of flour, scrub brushes and many other of
the mass Of articles accumulated at fairs.
Nearly everything brought good prices, the
members in many cases running up fancy
articles to high rate In order to obtain
them 10 keep as marks OF remembrance of
this highly successful fair
There was largo attendance at the auc-
tioD and, as has been the case throughout
the fair, considerable interest was mani
tested in the disposition of the surplus
goods of this great undertakiug-great
especially ON account Of the lateness Of the
spring and, therefore, the dull condition of
trade. Almost sufficient amount has bee m
realized to enable the corps to carry out the
objects for which the fair was given. the
ball complimentary to the lady managers
and assistants of the fair having baon by
mistake fixed for Holy Thursday night,
has been postponed until all have had a
good rest from the long and continuous
lnbors of the fair. The time will be fixed
az tho regular meeting Of tho First Com
pany next Monday night.
The uniforming Of the now recruits of
the corps will be Immediately attended to,
and it is expected that the First Company
will go to Baltimore on tho occasion of the
Army of the Potomac meeting, on the 9th
of May, with a full complement of mon.
The Veterans are loud in their praise of the
citizens Of Washington for their kind do
nations and patronage during the fair The
last donation received was one of the q. A.
II. uniforms contested for and awarded
Tuesday night, which was from the estab
lishment of Eiseman Bros.

A Fos, Mail Train wrecked.

CINCINNATI, ONO, April 2.-The fast
mail train of the Louisville e Nashville
Railroad was wrecked near Newport, KY,
last evening. 1t was thrown from the track
Just beyond the switch against an embank-
ment. The baggage car was driven ahead
of the express car aud then thrown upside
down across the track, while the passenger
coaches were jammed against It, smashing
the forward end of tho first coach. The
engine and postal car kept the track, but
the latter was broken down at the trucks
and one side entirely knocked out.
The express car contained nine horses
and two attendants, Jack Delany and a
Jockey known as Shanty O'Brien. The
horses are owned by John A. Schultz, of
Brooklyn, n. Y. They were three thor
oughbreds and six farm horses. All are
badly sprained, scratched or otherwise in
iured. The injured persons are WALLACE

LOOKING UP PRECEDENTs
In the Matter of Printing AN Appen-
dix 10 u Committee Report.

"There was nothing strange about the
manner in which that appendix to the re-
port on postal telegraphy was printed" OBJ
served Senator to CRITIC reporter to-
day. 1T was not a violation of any rule
of either the Senate or House." continued
he, "but is in strict harmony with the Gus.
tom of both houses for years, as 1t has long
been common where orders to print arc
granted that the Senator or Member max
ing report shall, at his convenience, ar
range and prepare the same. This is, per-
haps, the first instance where objection has
been made to printing few pages of mat
ter merely in the nature of memoranda
and not in any way purporting to reflect
the views of the committee. The report of
the Silver Commission was made to the
Senate March 3 or A. 1877, by Senator Jones,
chairman of the joint commission of Con-
gTess, and tho usual order to print was
made. 1t consisted then of but a few pages,
which were withdrawn from the Secretary s
Office and added to aud revised into vol
ume of some hundred pages, which was
printed in the fall of 1877, Under the same
leave to print part two of the report an
other large volume was printed in Feb
Iuary, 1879 two wears afterward.p

Testing the Commercial Agent s
License Law.

baltimore merchants have received cir
culars from New York co operative or
ganization, making a proposition to test
the commercial agents license tax laws in
several States and the District of Colum-
bia. They propose to have the $500
license in this city removed from their
business. The organization claims to have
an established office of this kind located
here. They ask the trade to cooperate
with them by the payment of $25 to pro-
vide sufficient funds to defray expenses OF
the maintenance of such office for the cur
rent year. Those contributing will be en-
titled to the benefits of the Washington
Office for the sale of goods without further
charge for brokerage or license fee.
