NO RETALIATJON.

Controller Myers's conduct in revoking the
permit of the witness who testified before the
Commissioners of Accounts that he had bribed
one of the Controllers subordinates in order
to obtain his stand in the new West Washing
ton Market, calls for the sharpest condemna-
ton. Right in the middle Of the investigation
and Just when these acts Of rascality are about
to be brought home to the Finance Depart
ment, its head takes vengeance upon witness
who has told the truth, and thereby proclaims
what is to be the fate of any one following his
example. The Commissioners must not aban-
don this investigation. If Mr.. Nicol's Jersey
clients do not wish to 60 on with it, let them
withdraw, but the city wants to know the
whole truth. 1t will be healthy for the Con-
troller to remainder that it is quite possible to
revoke the permit by virtue of which he pre-
sides over bis department, a course which will

searcheIs were near at hand and before any damage
was done the gentlemen were separated, ana the
Governor carried back to his office and the pointed
resolution read TO him.
This settled the trouble for the day, out the
legislative and executive forces are yet far from
friendly They are still exchanging little literary
pleasantries, and any hour may bring on war.
So far the ceilings over the Western Legislatures
are in good shape but great many OF the tax
payers are wishing that they were little danger
GUS, so as to drive out the members and stop
expenses.

1t has not been generally supposed in this
country that Henry Laborchere was fool.
He has been credited and discredited as people
sympathize with or dissent from his picturesque
views, but nobody has yet professed to look
upon him as stupid. When "The London
Times'sv solicitor testifes that Mr.. Labouchere
offered TO bride scamp whose chief character
issic he well knew TO be tieachery, he tells a
story that Mr.. Laboucheres denial will sIffi-
GENTLY dispose Of. If Mr.. Labouchere had de-
sired to bribe Pigott, Pigott is the last man
in the world who would have known it. "The
Times's' case has been weakened very decided

The detention of South American steam
ship for forty-eight hours at Newport News
waiting for her manifest to arrive through the
mails is one of the incidents Of the present
Administrators postal methods. The mani
fest was sent by mail in time to meet the
steamer. The full letter postage was paid on
it. but the postoffice authorities contrived TO
put it out Of its proper route and it arrived in
a newspaper bag two days late. An ocean
steamship had been detained at an expense Of
$1,000 day to her owners, her passengers
were furious, and all because the postofice peo-
pie do not know, or, knowing, do not do, their
business. Well, we shall soon see the last Of

Jack Blythe, the noted hiGhwayman, became
a Brother of 81. Simon; and the legend of
his meeting with Death upon the road, and
so being turned towards heaven, became the
property of the monastery.
Five years passed, still he was Brother
John-still he was humbly penitent-still in
his little cell he kept n skull and cross bones.
in memory OF his Hwiul warning. AS he had
been the first among the sinners, he became
first among the saints: Jealous in good
works. fond Of ~foggiug himself. and walking
about with peas in his shoes, and fasting, and
praying.
II was a day in midwinter. a bitter day.
The blast swept wildly over the moors; the
rain beat against the panes of the convent
windows. But above all were heard cries of
distress.
Help. help, help" The cry rose on the
blast. Help, help, help 1t faded away
in an awful moan.
The brothers crossed themselves. And
Brother john and one other went out to see
what had befallen.
They found an oil man upon the road.
His horse had stumbled and fallen upon
him, and he had sustained wotuI injuries.
Bearing him in, they mlnistered unto him:
and in the dead of the night Brother JOIN
sat beside his bed telling his beads. One
pale candle alone burnt beside the bed. but It
fell upon the Brothers face.
