It would be vory surprising If the negro race, which has man- agcdto thrive amazingly In most of tho Northern cities, should not be able to shoul- der its way along In fertile Kanens, ‘Tho average labor required of a Southern fleld- hand would maken Northern farmer com- fortablo, : Tie Committea on Ways and Means does not seem disposed to glyo Secretary Bhorman the wide discrotion that be asks for in nego- Mating the new funiing bonds, Soine of the membors of the Committee remember that it was owing principally to Mr. Sherman's op- Position that a low-rate bond was not pro- vided for at tho Inst session uf Congress, His suggestion now, that the Secretary bo authorized to sell bonds at any rate ho may determixe upon, with 4 per cent as a maxi- Miuin, reposes too much power, It Is thought, in a purely administrative ofleer. Tho Sec- relary's other suggestion, that he may have the choice of refunding a certain portion of the outstanding bonds elthor in ‘lreasury- notes or consols will have few, if any, sup porters In Congress, ‘The dutics of the Sec- rotary{n regard to the new loan will probably be prescribed detnitly, Tue nomination of Gon, Hazen to be Chict Siznal Oilicer bas called forth much erlticlam from the Republican press, An attempt has been made to break tho forea of the opposl- tion to hls confirmation In the Senate by sending abrond the report that It will be dus to tho fact that he Is the son-In-law of a Dem- ocratls editor, But tho nomination will be rojected, if it {a rejected, on less frivolous grounds, Gen, Hazen has been made much of in Washington as a society pot, and pushed upward faster than he would be but for tho Influence of “society.” He is not known to possess any scientific attalnments or exporl- ence In the Signal Service to entitle him to this place. ‘Phe story about his being the son-ln-law of 9 Democratic editor was un- doubtedty put in clrculation to secure his tontirmation by the Sonate, and Is of a pleco with the other sk!liful maneuvres which ob- talued the nomination for him, Pa eee eae eY Iris a noticeable and significant fact that ithe English farmers are begluning to agitate fura change In the aystem of land tenure in England, Under the present system, say Uielr advocates, they, cannot well compete with American farmers, even in the produce markets of thelr own country, ‘Shey dumana that the provisions of Gladstone's proposed Irish Land bill bo extended to Kngland. Tho Irish farmers have had the sympathy of the Engilsh workingmen since, the commence- ment of tho present agitatibn, as shown by the action of Bradlaugh, Burt, MacDonatd, Thorold Rogers, Joseph Cowen, and othor representatives of English workIngmen In tho British Parliament, and ns still more forcibly proved by tho tona of the working- men’s journals, the Weekly Dispatch, Rey- nolde’ Newspaper, nnd the Newenstle Chron tetc, Now that the English farmers aro por- sonally interested, thetr ald, If not their sympathy, may bo counted on to 4 certain extent. The world moves. ———— Mn, Leanp Stanronn, tho rallway mon- ager and princlpat-owner of the Pacific Const roads, recently appeared before n conmittce ofthe Californin Legislature and protested against the passnge of a bit! requiating freights and fares, He denied the authority ofthe Legisinturo to pass such a bill, hold- Ing that the Pacliic roads wore chartered by tho United States and not by the State of Callfornia, Tho Chrontete points ont that Mr. Stanford’s lawyers have asserted pre- elsely the opposit doctrine when defending the Contral Pacifia before tho United States Courts and Congress, ‘I'ha truth fs, that tho roads or some of them are chartered both by the General and the Stato Governments; and cithor may regulate fares and freights within its own jurisdiction, In the absence of affirm. ative action by the other. So farns the local trafMle fs concerned the authority of the State of California is supreme; and it has never designed doing moro than to control this. err Ir Is commonly believed in Washington that Mr. Sherman was once a candidate for the Presttency, but discreet persons do not twit the Secretary on tho palnful fact. AMforo agreeable topics tor conversation are usually started in tho Treasury Building, When Mr. Rawin, therefore, in an ofletal paper, took occasion to say that his disngree- ment with the Seerstary sbout the patronage of the oflico was ‘one of tha minor quarrels which hos resutted from Br, Sherman’s Presidentlat enmpalgn,” the wiseacres nbout Washington Jooked for something to drop. But nothing has dropped, Mr. Raum is still serene and Mr, Sherman’s composure !3 apparently un- ruffled, Tho audacity of Raum is much nd- uilred. He reports ofilcinily tothe Seeretary, yet he spenks of that functionory in tho third person, and embalms his own views of a dis- puto with his saupertor officer in a public document, Ho says that this Is “one of tho ¢minor quarrels which has resulted from Mr, Sherman’s .Prestdential campaign,” sssum- ing that there are othor and Jargor quarrels soinowhere In tho background. Evidently Mr. Raum would not object to belng made a martyr of. He is at any rato pretty confident that hig claims to.an office would not be over- looked by the now Administrtion on account of any difficulty he might have with this one, OSE recommendation of the President In his recent message pertaining to Gen, Grant has very generally escaped tho attention it deserves, ns it was sandwiched In somewhat Incongruously between the Nbrary and navy sections, ‘ho President says: Icommend to tho attention ‘of Congress tho Rreut aervices of tho Cotmmander-in-Chlef of our armies during the War fur tho Union, whose wiso, tlre, and putriotic conduct did so much to bring that momentous contict toa clase... Tho legislation of the United States contains many Precadents for tho recognition of distinguished military inorlt, authorizing rank and omolu- ments to be conferred for onilnent services to tho country. An act of Congress authorizing tho appointment of a Cay tnin-General of tho Ariny, with suitabie provislons ealatiae to com ensition, retirement, ant other doteils, would, in ms Judgmest, bo sltovethor fitti and Proper, and would be warmly approved by tho country, Whilo tho title which the President would confer upon Gen, Grant muy be open to question, there fs no question that the {dea {fs un excellent one and would meot with tho general approbation of the people of this country, ‘Tho American people are not wilt- ing that 8 man who has twice held the high- est office In thelr gift, who led thelr armies to victory, and who reflected such honor upon them {n almost every civilized Court tn the world, should bo turned cut to grass and Jeft with nothing to do. If tho President's recommendation can be called exceptional, it must be romembered that Gen. Grant !3 an exceptional man. en THE SIGNS OF BOURSONISM. Thoso persons, whether Republicans or Democrats, who have hoped or believed that tho late crushing defent of the Democratic candidate for President would lead toa break- upln tho Democratic Itnes or a readjustment of Democratic policy may as wollabandon this theory as altogether Improbable. Tho four days during which Congress has been in session have served to demonstrate that thoro Js not now, any more than in tho past, tho smallest purposo or’ desiro among the . Democratic leaders to strike out in any now direction, Whon Democratic Congressmen began to arrive in Washington thore wero oceastonal signs of 5 disposition to indlvidualize and finally ac knowledgo tho logic of. successlyo defenta during the past twenty years. The Sdthorn Congressmen esme back from thelr districts with a feeling of bitter regentment to tholr Northorn allies. ‘This sentiment was not new nor striking, as the Sopthern Democrat has always treated the Northern Demoernt with a good deal of contempt, whethor én trlumph or defeat. It was more to the point, Nowaver, to ‘note © that Northorn members ~ wera freely venti- lnting among their frionda thelr disgust for tho suporeiHous manner and selfish greediness which have characterized the Confederate control of Congress. Common defeat gave this sentimont an alring, An in- stunco of the tecling was furnished by tha declaration of sevoral Democratin Congress- mien from the North that they would yote for n Republican to fill a vacuncy in the House Post-Oftice {f a good man wore proposed rather than submit furthor to Confederate dictation. It was claimed by all grades and shades of Democrats that thore should be no politica In the present sesglon, but that the public business should be prompt- ly and efilelontly discharged. Lut no sooner had’ Congress. convéned than the party whip waa Mourished, and the Demo cratle sido of the Houso ylelded without o single dissent, ‘The Democrats will exorcise thelr romain- ing brief control of Congress with utter indifferenco to the late emphatic expression of the publia will, ‘They have again proved thelr Incapacity to learn, Events have no significance for 8 Bourbon, Congress this wiuter will be « political debating soeluty, a3 it has been sinca the Democrats succeeded te thecontrol, ‘Ihe leading men of- the Demo- “ratio party have no other conception of public life, Such ability as they porsoss runs in the direction of partisan discussions, It hag been made evident that tho majority in the Housa is not prepared to procead with the necegsary businuss of this seasion, But one appropriation bill has been reported trom tho Comuittecs,—the Fortlficu tions bil, which can always bo disposed of at brief notica; und I¢ Isonly upon tho River and Harbor log-rolling devico for squander- Ing public noney that any serious attention seeuts to be concentrated. In one word, the Jiemocerats relapse naturally Into a defiance of pudile sentiment, in utter disregard of tho future of their purty or the welfare of tho country, Demucrutio stupldity could not be better, MMusirated than by tha debate which thoy have forced upon the House. The waste of timo involved In this discussion, which ought to be devoted to othor mnnttors, fg not the only blunder In the caso, ‘The present ef- fort to imposenrule pon Congress for count- ing tho Electoral yote elther lias, or has not. f partisan purpose, If thore be.n partisan purpose, It enn only look to some hindrances to the counting of tho inajority of Elect- oral votes. for Gon, Garfield, whoso choice by tho people and by tho Electors Is a matter of notoriety. Any suspicion or apprehension of such a danger warrants the most stubborn resistance to the Democratic proposition, But, {f there bu no such partisan purpose, thon the Democratic peraistence In urging tho proposed rule to the exclusion of all other public business has not even the justification of an intelligent, though porntcious, nim. If the Demucrats may be trusted in thelr repented assertion that. no partisan advantage Ja contemplated, then their position {3 confessedly idlotic, No contingency can possibly ariso In the counting of the = Gfirfleld and Hancock yoto that will require any judicial interference of Congress, Thore {s no disputed Electoral vote in shy Stato of the Union, and tho time has passed whenany contesting Jist of Electors can bo prepared with the slightest color of right under tho Inw. Hence the Democratic majority in tho House must nbldo by the alternative suspi+ clon of seeking to prepare the way for 9 con- splracy against the declnration of Garileld’s election, or the confession of insisting upon fn arbitrary construction of a constitutional provision of yast importance at n tine when itis not necessary todo so, The Intter horn of the dilema is embarrassing enough, but the other would bo tho moat colossal plece of stupidity ever undertaken oven by Bour- bons, In ofthor case, however, the Dem- ocrats have again revealed thelr Incapacity for public affairs and thelr chronic !ndis~ position to reform thalr old habits. But tho folly of the Democrats docs not stop with o dagrant obstruction of public business by urging n measure which nat the best has no practical valuo now, ‘Their desperate hold upon an organic political existence which nevor progresses is furthor signalized by tho proposed renewal of tho goes upon land to every thirteen whoremain in tho cities neither BishopSpalding nor Bishop Trejand potnted out in discussing this aub- Ject.

A discussion of a vill to suspend the linbeas corpus, aud hinnd over all Irefand to mlll- tary law, would shake: the Kingdom to its foundation.

Tho problem before tha good Bishops, therefore, is, to find moans to supply these hard-working tolleurs with money and with Indugements to take up land and go to farm- Ing, One of tho greatest works tho Roman Catholic Church in this country ean do Is to enllst all its mighty power and Influence over its Inlty to get them away from the citles and towns, and indice them to go upon and, whore they can make good living, and grow up to be honest, sober, and respectable men.

The Whigs have always beon tho extreme defenders and champlons of the landlords, and Lord Hart- ington fs at one and the same time n Cabinet oflicor, a Whig, and an owner, present and prospective, of one of the largest landed estates in the Kingdom. ‘The devotion of the Whigs to the Iandlord Interest has always, however, overruled all other consiterntions, ‘The progress of the Irish Land League has exceeded the expectations of even its most sanguine friends.
