true that the power Of the press is very
great and used too often to coeice people2
It has become so that n public man is
afraid to express an opinion on any sub

~utterances are so often distorted and not

secure votes; they stand IN great awe OF
the press and dare not incur its Ill will
THE absurdity of Dana's statement is
great to be spoken Of seriously.
Charles Dana is very fond OF saying; We
think this and we think that. lie fol

1t was generally understood that he was a
tolerated spy. Dana talks about my favor

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Nor
gan offered a preamble and resolution,
which at his request were ordered printed
and laid on the table for the present. The
purpose of the preamble and resolution is
to show that the senate judiciary commit
tee has not authority to arraign the attor-
ney general as it did in its recent report
and accompanying resolutions in regard to
the refusal of the attorney general to
transmit to the committee certain papers
in regard to removal from office which had
been asked for by that committee. The
preamble says, referring to the recent ju-
dietary committee resolutions If said
resolution is adopted as being true upon
facts and as a matter Of law, we will there
by per judgment of II majority
Of this body, without any trial according
to law, that the attorney general of the
United States, is guilty ofand condemned
for wilfully committing an offence in the
conduct Of his office. which IS in violation
Of his office dnty and is subversive of
the fundamental principles OF the gov
eminent Of the United States. The at
torney general, fine has in fact wilfully
committed any offense that is in violation
Of his official duty and is subversive Of the
fundamental principles OF the government
of the United States, is only amenable to
the condemnation of the senate, when the
senate is sitting, with the chief justice Of
the United States, as a court of impeach-
ment to hear and decide upon the articles
Of impeachment presented by the house
of Representatives.

The Dixie clique in the Chelsea Liberal
council are charged with stealing q march
on the other members in adopting a reso-
luton of confidence in Sir Charles Dixie.
The majority Of the council had no init
nation that the resolution would be
brought up. The meeting was convened
ostensibly to hear a member read IA paper
on free trade, and only Dixie and his
friends were present. Dixie appealed to
the feelings of the meeting, but gave no
good reason why he did not go into the
witness box during the recent trial. The
Liberals intend to demand OF Dixie a
public statement that he did not pack the
meeting.
A deputation of fair Traders waited
upon Col. Henderson FIVE days before the
meeting and warned him Of a probable
collision with the Socialists, who had at
the meeting advocated storming the fair
traders platform. Col. Henderson pro-
yided the police force at Trafalgar square,
where he himself strolled in during the
meeting, at the close of which he ordered
a few of the police to proceed to Pail
Mall. BY an error of subordinates the
force we're sent to the Mali at st. James
park instead of to Pail Mall. Col Hen
dcrson admits he depended on what he
observed to be the fact, that crowds
always returned by the way they had
come. In this instance the theory was
upset.
Sir Robert Fowler, member for the City
Of London, gave notice in the house OF
commons, of a motion on the summary

ton, despite his long aud honorable serv-
ice. Lord Aberdare. in the house o lords,
paid a tribute to Col. Henderson's success
in ~lessening crime and minimizing convic.
tons. The press generally expresses re-
greet at Col. lIenderson's retirement, but
concurs that his blunders more than suf-
feed the balance Of his distinguished rec
ord.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.-An asso-

Office of the Chinese consul general to-day
to ascertain the origin of the published
report that he had issued a proclamation
advising the Chinese to return home.
The consul general emphatically denied
that any such proclamation had been
issued. He stated that Chinese Consul
Bee made arrangements with the steam
ship companies TO carry poor, sick and
unemployed Chinese back to China for
four trips at half rates. Notices concern
ing this were sent out, requesting the
Chinese to take advantage of these cheap
rates, and these facts probably gave rise
10 the aforementioned reports.
