ZIP THE HILL AGAIN.

In its very laudablo and patriotic de-
sire to maintain the prerogatives of the
President unimpaired and to cover with
discontinue all who dared in any way
10 assail or question them, our esteemed
contemporary the Post, seems to have
been premature with its recent pro-
nomcement upon the Senate as having
achieved nothing but an inglorious
iiasco. I'm its course with reference
TO the President said the Post, 'it
has re.enacted that thrilling drama
wherein the King of France once
figured so rpicturesQuely:' marching
mp hill with 10000 men, as will be re-
membercd, only to march them down
again.
We had grave doubts at the time rs
10 this being the end of the matter, II
is true that Mr.. ingalls, was somewhat
irreverently set aside and Mr.. Riddle
berger, in the confusion of the moment,
had the misfortune to be run over with
n whcelbarrow by the Senator from
Kansas, but we could not lose sight of
the fact that the main body of the en-
cmy, so far as heard from, had beaten
no retreat, but was still held in reserve.
They were merely skirmishyrs who
marched up the hill and then marched
down, and the King of France was not
at their head-neither the Duke of
Champlain nor the Prince of Mansfield
ltis plain enough from yesterday $
proceedings in the Senate, that the
movement upon the Administration is
gathering instead of losing force. The
fact that Mr.. Sherman took advantage
of the absence of Mr.. Edmunds to re.
new the charge is immaterial to the
main issue. 1t shows, however, as
plain as vigorous and vehement Eng.
lish can show, that the Senate, so far
from abandoning its position, is still
determined to hold it-whether under
the generalship of Mr.. Sherman or Mr..
Edmunds, remains to be seen. The
Senator from Ohio has adroitly sue
ceeded in marching at least half way
mp the hill again; but the Senator
from Vermont, as chairman
OF the Judiciary Committee
with munitions of war at his disposal
in the shape of forthcoming report
upon the letter of the Attorney-Gen
eral, holds an unquestioned vantage
which, it is needless TO say, he will not
fail to improve in his own good time
and opportunity,
The controversy, instead of being al
an end, has rather the appearance ssof
having but just begun. The opposing
forces are in much closer proximity
than ever before. Even the buzzing Of
the bees in the bonnets of the great Re
publican leaders can plainly be hear(
in the camp of the Administration.
The Washington critic., 1886-02-09
THE POINT AT ISSUE.

The issue between the President and
Republican Senators is reduced to this:
The President claims that his "reasons"
for suspending officials is an exercise
of Executive discretion into which the
Senate has no right to inquire. The
Republican Senators claim, as inter
pretcd by Senator Sherman, that all
papers filed with the President or any
of the executive departments relating
TO suspended officials or any other
Government business are public papers
10 be sent to the Senate whenever
called for, as afrording information to
aid in the discharge of its duties as leg.
islators and as an advisory body with
the President in confirming or reject.
ing executive appointments.
The only point at issue in the present
controversy seems to be whether the
Executive and the departments can re-
tain papers on file relating to suspend
ed officials when called for by the Sen
: ate, under the plea that such papers
embody the Presidents "reasons" into
which the Senate has no right to in
quire.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.

A New York divine not long ago
addressed note to Senator Colquitt of
Georgia, inquiring as to the state of
feeling in the South, particularly as af
fecting the condition of the colored
race. The Senator's reply is manly,
straightforward and no doubt to be de.
pended on. He speaks for his people
in vigorous English. He refers to the
late elections in Georgia, where white
men and colored men sat on the same
platform, spoke together, and voted
together. He refers to the census
which "even burning bigots cannot
gainsay or set aside" to tell the tale of
the labor and money that have been
expended in his State for the education
of the young black as well as white.
He speaks for the loyalty of the South,
and wants all doubters to be of good
cheer, "forif the country is ever ruined
il will be by the help and strength of
the North and West" AS to the intim-
idation Of the negro vote the Senator
says this
III in all Georgia (and let other States south
answer for themselves) there was a solitary
precinct at the last election at which the
colored vote was intimidated or suppressed. |
am in utter ignorance of where and when IL
was. do know and testify that more
peaceful election than our last In Atlanta was
never held In the state, nor do believe In the
United States, nor one In which a more un-
coersed vote was cast by all entitled to vote"
As further spread of toleration
Senator Colquitt says that the exclusive
and bad spirit which the negroes once
evinced towards any of their number
who voted the Democratic ticket has
passed away.

WAIT FOR ME.

Seaward runs the little stream

O'er them cometh a little maid,
Laughing, not bit afraid;
Mother. there upon the shore,
Crossed them safely jast before.
This the little lassie's plea
Wait for me! wait for me!
An, go swift the waters run
one false step, twas all undone;
Little heart begins to beat,
Fearing for the little feet.
Soon her fear will all be lost.
When the stepping stones are crossed.
Three more yet on which to stand
Two more-one more-then on landi
IT'S the little lassie's plea
Wait for me- wait for me-
All, for you, my laughing lass,
When the years have come to pass,
May one still be near TO guide
While you cross life's river wide.
when no helping hand Is near,
None, II you should call, TO hear
Think. however far away,
Mother still knows all you say.
E'en In heaven heeds your plea

The District Emergency Fund.

EDITOR CRITIC; If the reports Of the
daily press are correct, that delegation of
citizens have waited upon the House Com
mittee on Appropriations urging that the
District Commissioners be authorized to
expend money to clear the river Of ice and
prevent flood In the city, there must be
some misapprehension about the powers and
resources OF the Commissioners.
In the current appropriations for District
expenditures there stands TACT February 25,
1881 this item: "For general contingent
expenses of the District of Columbia, TO be
expended at the discretion of the Commits
sioners only In case OF emergency, such as
riot, pestilence, calamity by flood or fire
and OF like character, not otherwise suill-
ciently provided for, five thousand dollars"
The predecessor Of the present First
Comptroller authorized an expenditure of
this fund for a like purpose in the winter of
lss3-'S4, and 1t occurs TO me that there is
some misunderstanding now about the
means available to provide against the
calamity that is now threatening our city.
