Douglass-M Matthews.

Republican senators are inclined TO be
somewhat inquisitive, or, at least, show a
disposition 10 obtain the bottom facts In re-
lOtion to the resignation by Mr.. Douglass OF
the office Of recorder Of deeds for the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
II everything in that connection were as
smooth as the surface Of the correspondence
indicates, it would seem but natural that
Mr.. Douglass should favor the confirmation
Of Mr.. Matthews.
Instead Of doing so, however, he has
simply folded his tent in preparation for a
tip in foreign parts, without making a
sign or giving word Of explanation.
Mr., Douglass would confer favor on the
Republican party II he would consent to
break the diplomatic crust Of the CORE.

4 Good Deed Done.

Set down to the credit of the forty-ninth
Congress the passage Of a wise and benefcent
measure, the good results of which will be
felt in many humble homes.
The bill increasing widows pensions
from IS to $40 q month, which passed the
Senate yesterday Just as 1t came from the
House, and will soon be made a law by the
signature of the President, ought to be
commended by all friends Of justice
If 1t were possible TO compel the men
who grew rich out of the war to pay all the
pensions, equity would be the gamer, but,
since that cannot be done, all good citizens
will be glad to bear their part Of the taxa
ron imposed by this bill.
Four dollars month--forty-eigh dollars
year-is small sum TO rich man. II
would scarcely pay for two cases Of cham.
payne for few friends.
But to poor widow itmeans bread for q
whole year. 1t will pay for seven barrels OF
four 1t will buy three barrels of -four and
salt meat enough TO last year. II bridges
the chasm between plnching poverty and
decent comfort.
And now, having done this act Of justice
| is 1t not possible for Congress to devise
some means through which the government
shall cease to offer premium for abstinence
from marriage or bounty to crime?
Would it not be better TO have these pen
sions to women last for life than to have
, them act as temptation to evil? Sound
public policy forbids the Offering Of boun
ties against marriage. Humanity revolt'
from putting temptations in the paths oi
! poor women.
This great government never appear:
so mean as it does when It is ou
on hunt-houndiug down, trying, con
victing, and dragging off to prison The
wretched women whom its bounty hai
lured into crime.

About the prime Necessity of Our
Country"
Following Is an extract from a letter Of
the 10th instant from Hon. Robert G. Win
throp, president Of the Peabody Trust
Fund, referring to the education bill.
IL would be n great calamity IL all provision
for this prime necessity Of on. country were
TO fail. We can better do without ''iuternll
improvements" or even armies and nayies,"
than without education for the masses. To
leave the southern states without the means
for educating the freedmen" Is unjust to
them and injurious to the whole country. II
IS fearful to think of those millions Of voters
in such condition OF ignorance, aud the evil
ia growing less manageable year by year.
Education and the elective franchise should
have gone together. We have lost more than
twenty t2O) years.
still longer will have incurred u tremendous
responsibility.

may be too far advanced to secure proper
