WASHINGTON. D. O., DEC 8, 1856
TIE NEW MARSHAL.

In the appointment Of Mr.. Albert A.
Wilson, to be United States Marshal for
the District of Columbia, Mr.. Clcye-
land has made q selection to which no
exception can be taken, politically
personally or otherwise. There were
those who had become impatient at long
waiting for the change, but it WIS
worth long wait to realize such an
excellent and acceptable change.
In making the appointment, the
President has clearly shown that he is
not only in sympathy with the gener.
ally expressed desire of the District
that the men who hold the local Offices
should be men who have local inter
ests here, but with the political feel
ing also that in the distribution of Dis.
trict patronage fair recognition should
be paid Ito those who have labored
2ealously and contributed literally,
these many years, to the Democratic
cause.
Mr.. Wilson, as citizen prominent
in business circles, identified from his
youth up with the growth and prog
ress Of the National Capital and of uu-
questioned rectitude of character, Is
fully entitled to the congratulations
which he is receiving on every hand for
the honorable distinction that has been
conferred upon him. In this regard
tits an essentially popular selection.
Looking at the appointment from
political standpoint it cannot fail to be
equally satisfactory to the District De-
mocracy. Mr.. Wilson has always been
an active and influential member of the
Democratic party, and untiring in his
efforts to promote its success, though
in no sense mercenary or spoils-hunt-
ing partisan. In politics as in business
he has invariably occupied an advanced
and honorable position, alike credtable
to himself and the great organization
which he has so faithfully represented.
That he will perform the duties of
his office ably and encrgetically goes
without saying. That he is to be re-
lieved from the social responsibilities
at the White House hitherto devolved
upon the Marshal, will no doubt be as
agreeable to Mr.. Wilson as it is evil
dence of the good sense of the Pre5-
dent in doing away with this incongru-
GUS association.

Leaves of a laughter so quickly hushed;

Into bowed souls OF this lower land
Shine thou for ever from Gods right hand.

and about eighty foreign companies
doing business through local agents
The total annual payments for pre-
miums will amount to about Sj30,OJ)
of which the local companies receive
about 5l per cent These figures show
that through the shortsightcdncss OF
our citizens about SijO.ODJ from this
one source is annually sent ont Of the
District. which ought to be retained Mt
home. Our local companies do no
foreign business, and they are able anl
ought to do the entire fire insurance of
the District.
There is also gross inequality in the
taxation of local aud foreign companies
under existing law which in some way
ought to be remedied. The local com.
panies have to pay license fee of fifty
cents on each 81 900 of capital invested
and the personal tax of one and one
half per centum on the value Of their
capital stock Foreign companies do.
ing business publicly through agents
are only required to pay a license fee of
Sl5 and n semi-annual tax of one per
ccntum on gross receipts. The conse-
quenco of this is that the local compa-
nies doing about the same amount of
business as the foreign companies, pay
to the District Government tax for
this privilege about four times rs great
as is paid by the foreign companies.
Looking at this question from the
sole standpoint of the welfare of the
District, we trust that all good citizens
will reflect upon the matter and place
their premiums for insurance with the
home companies, and thus promote
their own interests by increasing the
general welfare.

As Mr.. Gladstone predicted they
would, the Liberals are picking up in
county elections. The Tories had their
innings in the burroughs; these seem to
be the days for the Liberals. There is
now II certainty that the latter will have
a good majority over the Conservatives
and probability that they will have
working majority over both the Tories
and Nationalists, Up to this noon the

THAT picturesque monarch, young
Thcebaw of Burmah has surrendered
himself to the British forces. He sur
rendered his army, which, by the way,
he did not lead in person, as he boasted
he would and his kingdom first, but
did not give himself up until his palace
had been surrounded The British are
going to deal with him as they did with
the deposed Egyptian Khedve, Ismail
Pasha, who lives in luxury on the
Riviera Theebaw can select any city
in India where he would like to drink
out the rest of his days, and England
will give him as many palaces and as
choice and varied selection of wives
as his royal bent may incline him to-
His rum and tobacco will also be on the
dd HJitum plan. About the only de
privation that he will be called upon to
suffer will be the consfcation of his
rare and effective collection of guillo-
tines he cannot therefore butcher
couple of relatives to give zest to his
matutinal cocktail or add few CORY
heads to the adornments of his side
board that his dinner may go off with
Ccldt. While Theebaw is no longer the
Boss of Burmah, there is no doubt
of his ability to still keep up an "Old
