JuDGE REAGAS's announcement OF his pur.
pose TO oppose any bill, which proposes to pay
public employees for doing nothing cmbodies u
principle which, II enforced against the pres.
ent Congress- would send great many moro
or less able statesmen home with empty wal.
ets.-Philddolpdl Pres.
1t has occurred TO Judge Reagan TO set
himself in stern array against any measure
given TO the per diem employees OF the gov
ernment any Of the privileges enjoyed by
salaried servants Of the republic. In this
he is Illogical and unjust. No man can
show good reason for making discrlml-
nation as to leave Of absence with pay be-
tween those employees who are paid so
much year and those who are paid so
much day. AS matter of fact the dis
bursting officers Of all the departments
compute all payments on the per diem plan,
making February an unwelcome month to
salaried workers. Judge Reagan does not
rise up and howl because various congress
men who are seldom In attendance two
hours in week draw full pay, nor does he
offer any protest against full payment to
numerous officials who give very little time
10 their public duties. 1t is only when
mechanics and laborers ask some trivial
consideration that he wakes eloquent in
persistent protest.

The Randall TariT BIZ.

The long talked.of tariff bill OF Mr.. Ran
dali was introduced yesterday and has gone
to sleep beside that other tariff bill to which
the House of Representatives gave quietus
on Thursday, the nth instant. IL is not
imagined, in any quarter, that there will
be any tariff legislation during the forty
ninth Congress. The present session is too
far gone to admit Of the discussion which
must and ought to precede such action, aud
the next session, constltutionally limited to
about three months, will scarcely suffice
for indispensable business.
The New York Tribune, referring to the
Randall bill, says
1t is the obvious duty OF Republican members
TO prevent tarifi tinkerlng OF any kind until
the House has majority friendly to home in
dustries. When the people want such n
House, they will elect IL. Revision of pro-
tectivc tariff by foes OF all protection would be
an absurdity To permit it would be aa act of
suicidal folly.
The Philadelphia Times, which ID accus-
toned to speak for Mr.. Randall, says:
d lit were not so late in the session Mr.. Ran
dali could very probably carry his measure, u
great part Of the support given to the Morrl.
son bill being the result Of party discipline
rather than Of belief In Morrison's plans.
Even the opposition OF the whisky ring TO n
change in the internal taxes is not ull-power-
full. But there is q great deal of business to be
disposed of yet and tariff talk would be iu-
torminable. In any event, Mr. Randall has
given his party the opportunity to put itself
right aud possibly to put the Republicans in a
hole.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, one OF those
conservative Republican newspapers which
are sometimes mistaken for Democratic,
says Of the Randall bill
While not so sweeping a reform" measure
as Mr.. Morrlsons scheme 1t does quite enough
in the way of reducing taxes to alarm treas
ury already so seriously threatened by Demo-
cratic measures that au effort Is to be made II
revive the odiouS income tax rs a mems of re.
plenishing 1t. At any rate, 1t is too late to In
troduce a tariff bill at this stage the session
| but perhaps all that Mr. Randall wishes is to
| get it before the people and let them discus
| It prior to congressional action next winter.
1t would be waste OF time and space
a vexation of spirit and a wearying Of th,
flesh, to dwell at length on q measure that
has been introduced without any possibility
Of consideration. The next Congress, pro
vided 1t be Republican, will revise the
tariff. The Democratic party has repeat
edly proven its incapacity to do anything
in that direction beyond making noisy
threats for the general disturbance OF bus
| iness.

embroidered and tamboured work. These
Ggures give evidence Of tho immense
value OF this branch Of manufactures; aud
the quantities imported must increase,
unless some means are taken for the educa-
ton Of similar class OF artists in this
country, who, being brought up in our
midst, may be better able to know our
wants and to suit our tastes. IL cannot be
asserted that our people are destitute Of
talent, energy, or. taste for such employ
mcpts; we have only to look around to find
numerous instances to the contrary. Amer
lean machinery is equal In combination
and finish to that Of any other country;
many OF the most important inventions In
manufacturing machinery have emanated
from Americans; those inventions required
judgment, imagination, perseverance, aud
the power of concentrating the ideas; and
we have only to refer to the productions Of
Americans in the fine arts Of statuary and
painting to prove that the American mind
is not destitute Of taste of the highest
order"
In concluding hasty summary OF this
remarkable book, we have only space to
say that Col. Clarke has clearly proved his
case. The concurrent testimony of all the
public schools OF this country In which in-
dustrinl drawing has been intelligently
taught sustains the editor OF this report.
The volume itself is one Of enormous labor,
representing Gs it does the sustained efforts
gilmore than ten years of lndefatlgablel indus
try. II teens with statistics intelligibly
arranged and with analyses of the indus-
trial systems prevailing In foreign countries.
II successfully combats prevailing preju-
dices against manual labor aud destroys all
superstltions about the "inspiration" and
''natural genius" Of all skilled designers.
IL opens up an avenue TO the hundredfold, In
crease In value for innumerable branches
Of American manufactures, and points out
methods by which every American home
may become the abode OF grace and beauty
ms well as OF mere physical comfort.
This volume should be upon the shelves Of
every teacher in the United States, and It
contains mine Of information for those
parents who desire to obtain profitable en-
ployment for the taste, skill, or ingenuity
OF their children.

who have seen II, and that IL was with this
In view that Senator Butler prepared his bill
to build the bridge and utilize the large aud
fine estate Of 1,1O0 acres owned by the
government at Arlington.
We hope that Senator Sherman will not
allow the matter to drop, but will unite
with Senator Butler in an effort TO secure
this beautiful addition TO the capital.
With the north and the south, represented
by these noble senators, united In their
views as to the proper plan for commemor-
ating the great services OF Lincoln and
Grant, and with the Grand Army Of the
Republic advocating the same thing, surely
II cannot fail.

The OunaIasIxa Case.

The President has transmitted to Con-
gress report Of the Secretary OF State,
with accompanying papers, relative to the
case OF the American schooner Ounalaska,
which was condemned by the government
OF Salvador for having been employed In
aid OF an insurrection against that repub-
lie, and was subsequently presented 20 the
United States. The President recommends
that Congress pass the necessary legislation
to complete the transfer, and 10 give tbe
court OF claims the authority to hear and
determine the question of title.

Ir appears to be all right and quite the
regular thing in the era Of reform for Dem
ocratic department officials to visit their
homes in distant states-their expenses be-
ing paid by the government and their pay
running on--for the purpose Of settling
local troubles in the Democratic family. or
course there is pretense of public business,
but the sham is perfectly understood by the
department dignltaries.

The Memorial Bridge.

There is on exhibition in the room of the
Vice President at the Senate drawing
showing in outline the bridge proposed by
Capt. symons for uniting Arlington with
the national capital and general dIscrlp.
tlon OF IT,
The bridge consists OF four arches, each of
three hundred feet clear span over the main
river, and seven spans, each OF one hundred
and fifty feet, over the Potomac park on the
Washington end, and over the flats on the
Virginia side. The remainder OF the way Is
In embankment. Two of the main arches
have height above the high tide Of the
Potomac of ninety feet In the clear and the
roadway at these SUBMITS is nInety-five
feet above water, This elevationls reached
from each side by gentle ascents OF about
three feet in the hundred.
The roadway Is thirty feet wide, with
sidewalks eight feet wide. The piers are
finished for the reception OF statuary on
each side OF the roadway, and II is evidently
the expectation that these places will be oc-
Cupied by memorial statues OF the official
friends and aids during the rebellion OF the
two great ch ieftains in whose honor II Is
designed TO build and dedicate this bridge
LINCOLN and GRANT.
Certainly it is the duty, as 1t will be the
pleasure, of the people Of this country to
erect at the national capital grand aud
beautiful monument to these two men com
mensurate with their great services aud
with the place which posterty will give
them In the history Of the world.
And certainly this monument can take
no more suitable shape than grand
memorial bridge across the river which
separated the two sections lately in arms
against one another, from the nations
capital to the hallowed ground where
sleep so many thousands who laid down
their lives that we might live in a united,
happy country.
It Is understood that the bridge pro.

2s.-1he greatest victory yet-the South

renton elects Republican after the bitter
est nght and the largest vote ever polled In
that Bourbon stronghold.
Warrenton for years has been the home
of the ring, who ran for decade OF years
the politics Of the eighth congressional dis.
trlct and carried things to suit themselves,
and took the lion share Of of the spoils.
They sent Gen. Eppa Hunton, of Warren

years for Judge James Keith, or Warren

lorn hope. An election In May resulted in
tie, and rew election was ordered, aud
then the "ring', bestirred themselves. The
Bourbons hurried back home. Mr.. Ham
Shepherd left the duties Of marshalship to
other hands, and coming back pulled of
his coat and went TO work. Gen. Huuton,
Gen. Payne, and the absent Warrentoniaus
were recalled to save the town from being
captured, and the election was held; the re-
suit was that Mr.. Campbell was elected by
two votes, and Warrenton for the first time
