GEN. A. r. LAWToN, late Quartermaster-
General of the Southern Confederacy, was
nominated for the Russian Mission, but fail
ed of confirmation, because his case falls
under the prohibition of the 14th Amend
ment. That is, he was educated at West
Point, and commissioned in the Army, and
afterwards took up arms in aid of the rebel
lion. He says in his own defense, however,
that he is not subject to the operations of
the 14th Amendment, as he received full
and free pardon for all offenses from Andrew
johnson before the 14th Amendment was
adopted. AS he then stood in the footing of
an innocent man, who had never committed
any offense and as laws nor Constitutional
amendments can be made retroactive, he is as

disturbed foreign relations adjusted with
wisdom of the conquered South ruled with
an admirable admixture of frmness and
policy; of great internal improvements car
ried through to completion, and Of disin-
tegrated finances reformed and restored.
The star of Grants fame has only begun
to rise. The clouds Of dstraction, calumny
and depreciation which have obscured his
merits are passing away, and his real great
ness is becoming better understood every
year. Students Of history who measure
him and his work with the great men Of
other countries and epochs are sstonished
to find how he towers above them all.
Napoleon was not greater military genius,
while he had what Napoleon had not splen-
did ability for civil administration, and a
patriotism that knew no shadow of self
seeking. he had all of Frederick the Greats
unshakable tenacity of purpose, all Of
Frederick's singleness Of aim, with moro
than Frederick's manhood, generosity and
capacity for rightly estimating men. He
was much greater than the Duke of Wei
lington, because he fought much greater
armies, won greater battles, and was success
full in civil administration, which Yelling
ton was not.
Grants purity of life, his fidelity to duty,
to friends, to his wife, to every obligation, no
matter how small, his full, rounded, honora-
bic, generous manhood, stand out in the
brightest contrast with the pettinesses of
soul, the startling WEAKNESSES, the splendid
vices that mar the makeup of every other
great Captain in history. Grant appeared
greatest to those who knew him most init
mately. This is the highest tribute that can
be paid any man.

THE ISTHMUS TROUBLE.

We have had speck of war on our own
horizon during the week. The rebels in the
United States of Colombia in trying to secure
some arms shipped in the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company's steamer Colon seized the
vessel, imprisoned its officers, and took away
the arms. They subsequently burned the
town of Aspinwall and committed other ex-
cesses. For some unaccountable reason the
senior naval officer on that station took no
steps to protect the persons and property of
American citizens. For this he was brought
to task by the Secretary of the Navy, but it
is said that he has explanations which will
justify his extraordinary course. We can
hardly believe this to be true, because
there seems to be nothing short of absolute
inability to act that will justify non-inter-
ference by our naval officers when our people
are menaced by insurrectionary forces.
The rebels also interfered with the transit
across the Isthmus of Panama, and, as it is rec
ognized as our duty to protect this, the Gov
eminent has acted very theoretically in send
ing forward force ofmarines and war vessels,
which it is thought will be sufficient to
secure the integrity of the Panama Railroad
and the safety of travel thereon. The Gov
eminent will not interfere in the interna-
tional troubles of Colombia farther than to
extend this protection to the railroad. Of
course there is no dispute as to the right of
the Government to do as it has done, and it
is to be commended for the expedition with
which it has acted. The transit between the
two oceans must be under the care of some
power competent to guard it at all times, and
the next step in this logic is that this is a
duty which belongs to the United States
alone, and, as long as it is able to perform it,
no other Nation has any right to interfere.
1t may result In garrisoning the Isthmus as
long as the civil war in Colombia shall last
1t would not be an evil if this should result
in the permanent garrisoning of the Isthmus
by American soldiers, for if there is a place
outside our own domain where the Ameri-
can flag should be permanently planted, it is
on the Isthmus Of Panama.

IF WE only give the women a fair chance
in the business and industrial world we will
soon find that they will make their way to
independence and fortune quite as swiftly
and surely as the ignorant immigrants who
come to this country with their strength and
industrious habits as their sole capital, and
die worth thousands. Now, there was Mrs.
John Wood, a bright young English actress,
who came over here long before the war, and
had years of great popularity and success.
Old age began to tell on her at length, how
ever, and she had to cast about for other
means of livelihood. She noticed during a
visit to her home that the English were
away behind Americans in laundry appli-
ances. They still retain the old mangle in
the laundry. 1t occurred to her to start
washery on the American plan, and she has
done so. The work done by the steam collar
and cuff-ironers is 80 superior to anything
accomplished in the old way that she has
