Varlety THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1881, “A Rici and Beautiful Iarlot” Is the “ nice derangement of epitaphs’ which the St. Paul Ploncer-Press upplies to the sover- pign Stite of Minnesota, whose refusal to pay an honest debt which she is nbundantly able to meet s one of the murvels of con- temporaneous morals, Iudividunlly nobody | will deny that the people of Minnesota have ns high a standard of commercial honor ns any other communlty In the world, but col- lectlvely they have proved capnbles of un set of repudiation which has shamed the whole Northwest, It is said that Mnssnchusctis spends an- nually $5,000000 for publiec schools, and D ' of tho wholu controversy, and these facts Texas less than $1,000,000. Yet the dif- ference of nopulation in favor of the former isless than 200,000, 1t is said that the recent suspension of loeal taxation has rulned tho publie-school system In Texas, - The Gnlvés- ton Ncws cunfesses that fow aro educated besides those able to pay tuition fees. As the Springficld Republican remarks, no State needs educntion more or pays less attention to the subject than Texns. If the samo amount of enorgy that is now devoted-In that Stato to extructing comfort from er- roncous statistics were honestly emvloyed in bullding up the institutions of the State, there might be some excuso for vainglorlous comparisons In another decade or two. Ox1%: branch of the Loglsluture of Indinnn has already passed a blll reducing the legal rate of Interest to 0 per cent, which I8 the Tate now in Ohlo and Pennsylvama, and is found to work well. 'The blil Introduced into the llinols Legisinture making tho contract rateof Interest 6 per cent lins been fuvorably re- ported In the House, and a hostilamotlon to re- ferto the Judieiary Committeo wasdefented by tho friends of the bill, 80 to 46, Tho blll has n falr prospoct of being euncled Into o law, and it will be worth mlilions to tho industrinl and business intorests of the State, With Govorn- ment bonds par at 8¢ per cent, and Chilcugo elty 4 por cont bonds at n promium, and any ®ood mortgngo 6 per cent railrond bonds ubove par, why shoulidl the ordinary rate of money be more thau 6 per cent? If that rate Is established the banks and money-lenders will qulckly fatl Into It, and only sharps and sealpors w1l undertake to ehargo more. PSR T s Canr, Sciunz has been critielsed by the more subservient party-orguns In the Enst for Introdueing the prinelplesof Clyit-Servico reform nthe Interior Department and In- sistingz on o high standard of efllelency in his subordinates; and he Ia now abused for somo of tho cansequences of his policy. Tho clerks of the Interlor Department, it will have been notieed, have refuscd to contrib ute to the fund for the payment of thy extra- ofticinl Inaugural expenses. The grounds of their refusal were thus stated by the Chief Clerk of tho Department to the woeting of the Inguguration Committee Saturday lnst, as reported by the Washington Poat:, ‘Tho Chief Clork took tho Hoor and_ replied to what hu sald were eritiolams upon tho Interlor Depurtment for not allowing the clorks to bo aescesed. leanlu: Tho Dopartment hos boon three timed ruked ng with o thne-tooth comb to clect Qen, Qurtleld President, und now thut he is clected 1 am epposed to raklug ovor tho De- Emmmu again for tho purpuse of inaugurating i, Tho oitizons of Washington shoutd do thit, Many of tha clerka In the Departmonts had om= ‘barrussed themsolves fur months to come, and «could not bu expeuted to contribute, ‘Chis ulternnce of tho Chief Clork Is far from being Incendiary In lts nnture, It will strlke the avernge citlzen, who has nofn- terest 1n the spectacular parf -of the in- uugural show, as manly and just, 1f:the peopleof Washington desire a Mg processlon and bull, let them bear tho cost. 1t Is cone tetptiblo and menn to attenipt to saddle the expenses of thelr clvie glory on the small- sularied Qovernment clerks, ‘Tue Jong struggle In the’ Britlsh 1Touse of - Commons hus been practleally closed, ' Since the Oth of Januury the thirty or forty Par- nellites, ns distlugulshed from the Irish und Lnglish Liberals, linve kept the 1touse, and in fuct all England, In o btate of nnxiety. At lnst, nfter n continuous session of forty-two Jours, the majority declded to ussnme con- trol of thedbusiness of the Ilouses, and thero- fore poremptorily put n close to the dilatory and obstruetive proceedings Instituted by the minority, The bill proposed by the Min. Istry, conferring ‘extraordinury powers on tha Government to preserve peaco and order fu Ireland, wus introduced and Ity second sendiug fixed for te-day, * It will be remembered that tho Dritish House of Commons has no rule, such ns ls known ln this country as the previous ques- tlon, whereby debate can bo urrested, Owing to the absence of sucha rule, the Irlsh ob- structlves have been able to prevent the futrodpetlon of the bl during neavly o panth, by the overwhelming wmajority, 'They [ have, however, aceomplished nll and even | more than they could have hoped for, Thay ¢ have lind the Irish question discussed In En- glund, where It has never been discussed be- fore; they bave surcceded n spreading be- fore the English people tho facts and merlts Tuve obtained a widospread publeity which 13 rare In Englomd, ‘T'ho press of all partlos hns been Uevoted to the discussion, and “the whole Kingdom has heen enlightened on the | sibjeet to an extent not possible by any ! other menns, They have suceeeded In hav- *' | i Ing the bl of “ Coerclon ? greatly modified. ‘They have had (4 Nmited to an anthorlty in the Government to enforce It and they have | extorted from tho Ministry explanations nnad promises which strip tho bill of all ity tor- rors, This bill has yet tobo discussed and watured, and it wiil bo followed by n Land bllt which, in nfl probability, will substan- tintly necomplish tho objects of the Land Lengue. . ‘Tnr chief objertion to the confirmatlon ot Mr, -Stanley Matthews as a Justiee of the Supreme Court, s not simply that he ls o corporation ‘nttoryey of Juy Gould. Few Ilawyers Inthe country would refuso to de- fendd rallway or any other corporations in the conrts, if sultably pnid for 1t. DutMr. Matthews went far beyond the ordluary limits of professional obllgatlons. When o member of the Senate of the Upited States, and presumably neting ns o representative of thepeople, and not of the Pichic Rallway Com- panies, he denvunced the Thurman Rallroad Funding net ns *“tho most deliberate attack upon the very idea and institutions of prop- erty and of contract that 1 know of in the an- nals of leglstation In this country.” -~ Yet the act In question was reported by Judge Thur- man, confessedly one of the nblest Inwyers inthe Senate, nnd supported by Senators Edmunds, Ciristianey, Buyard, Davis (1IL), Garland, Kernan, Wadlelgh, and Windom,— certainly nsufiiclent nreay of legul nuthor- ity. Mr. Matthews may hold the view that the Governient has not the power to control the subsidized corporations created by Its act, but the question is not whother he Is sin- cere or not In espousing that skile. Thoaues- tion is whethern person entertalning those opinlensis a safe or sullablo nomination for aseat on the Bench of the Supreme Court, which must be constantly adjudieating is- putes growing out of the attempts of tho Government to control overgrown and fiso- Ient corporations, authorized by it to exist, nnd sustained In-some nstances by its direct pecuniary contributions, ——— Inoy shipbullding Is unquestionably des- {ined to ben Jarge and fwportant Industry in some of the lake ports. ‘The report of tho Buffalo Commerctal that the Unlon Dry- ‘Dock Compnny of that elty had already ordered machinery with & view to engaging in this kind of work was, it appears, prema- ture; but it is known that the mnnagers of tho Company have the new depnrture In serious contemplation, The advantnges of iron over woud for large-cluss vessels are suflleiently npparent, Tho former can carry wore freight for the samo draft thun the Intter, and when bullt they both last longer and. cost less to repnlr. It hns been esthmated that the ropnlrs of an lron vessel during the first {en years amount to $10,000, whito those of wootlén vessels of the saime sizo for tho same period will avernge $25,000, Thoe kron vessel would still rate Al at the end of the deende, while the wooden vessel would rate A2, The second perfod of ten yenrs would make a still better showlng for the iron vessels. The results alvendy obtained from Iron vessels have been eminently sutisfactory, ‘Cho Mer- chnnt, the ploneer vessel of the class, out- lived the wouden vessels built at the snme llme, and was In good condition when she stranded near Itacine. Tho Thitu- delphly, bullt ot Buffalo in 1868, Is still rated AL Flve other vessels have been ndded by the Messra, Kvans to their line, the Comunercial Line has bullt four large vessels, and the Western ‘Transportatlon Company two, 1t will be a long time, If ever, before Iron vessels of small size enn be profitably used; but the in- dlcatlons nre that the construction of graln- carrying stenmers wil soon bo rovolution- Ized by the Introductinn of the new materlal. ——— ‘WHY HAYES APFOINTS ONLY OHIO MER. Conslderablocritleism has been made upon Pregident lnyes'-ingenlous and porsistent search for “Oblo men” In all parts of tha country to fill all sorts of oftices, high nnd low, that come under Exccutive appolnt- ment, Recent circamstances have revived the diseussion of this ehiof characteristic of the Iayes Administration. When the I'rest- dent went down to Georgln o find a South: ernman to fill & vacancy on the Supreme Benel, his natural solection foll upon an Ohlo manwho was living there, Andthor vacaney oceurring ou tho Suprome Bench not long nfter, anothior Ohlo mun was chosen direetly from his own State, notwithstanding such appolntment would give Ohlo three out of tho nine Supremo Judges, with thitty States Ignored ultogether in the personnel of that tribunal. A day or twe ngo n Collector was wanted for Galvesion, In the State of Texns; of courso an Ohlo man only was wanted, and My, Shepherd, who re- cently moved Into that State, was appolnted. ‘Thore Is searcely any community, North or South, East or Weat, near or reumiote, whers Olilo is not consplenously represented In the enjoyment of the pood things which Mr. Hayes hns beon ablo to bestow, Thero has been n growing feellng for some time, which {a Increasing ns Mr, Hnyes employs the clos- ing days of hia term in filling up with Ohle men pretty niuch all tho ofiices becoming va- cant, that the proceeding I8 monntonuug, to sny tho least, Somo people charaeterizo it In harsher terms, Col.

It has beon suggested that Ollo hins 80 many great men that It 18 not only proper but almost uocessary to givo them the bulk of the uvallable oftices, aud even creato now pluces or mako vacancies in order to keep up with the Ohio supply, T'his egotlstienl theory has an ulr of pluusibility, bul it 1s not tho correet solution, Mr, Hayes himself Is an Ohfo man, Most wen whoare born In New York or Massa- chusetts, or live In Tlinols or Jows, huvo as- anclatlbns or attnehments elsewhero, Even tho natlve Bourbon of the South extends his loyalty to thosectlon bounded on the north by Mason and Dixon's line. Nearly every- body who advnnces iu public lifo brondens his vanga of vislon and enlarges his clrele of acquaintance. Mr, Hayes is o notable excep- tion In this particular, Iiis carcer provieus to 1877 had almost unavoidably limited him to the confines of the oo State of Ohlo. 1o was born in Ohlo, o certaluly “cannot be held responsible for that, +Xo went to school in Ohlo. ‘Ihis was probobly ata tine ot life when ha could not control his actlons, lle studied Jaw.and began the praciice tharcof In Ohlo. ‘Ihus by degrees the Ohlo iden fostened s hold upon b, He might possl- bly ut smne futuratimo haveawnkoened to the readizationthut there were other Statesin the ‘They have at st been vanguished | Unlon, had not clrewstanees combined to restrict him to the geography of Ohio, All Ity early nssociatlons were Ohlonn, When he wentinto the War, he beeame the Colonel of an Ohlo regiment which was attached to an Ohlo brigade, which he subsequently cnmnnqulud for a short time ns an Ohlo Brig- ndier, ‘1lia operations during the War were Hmited to the State of West Virginia, which adjoins Ohio. After the War he was restored to his own, hils native Ohlo, I1u was a menis bor of that famons Ohlo lerary or debating club In Clnelnnatl, which is the proudest dig- tinction which an Ohlp man eyer reaches, When he went to Congress It was as a loenl representative from one of the Cinclunatl distriets, and during his brief sojourn In Whashington he eut 1o figuro and made no svecehes except on Ohto subjects, “I'hen the Ohlo habit was confirmed. and deepencd by his belng elected three tities a8 Govornor of Ohio.

President Ilayes un- fortunately never enjoyed the advantage of any nequnintance outside of Ohlo. The men with whom he had come in.contact within Ollo circles were the best wen he evar knew. Consequently o concluded that the best men in thiswhole Unfon mustbe Olifomen, 1le went into ofice determined to fill tha Clvl) Servics with the best men, and ho naturally, from his restricted eirele of acquaintance, looked to Ohlo to furnish them. He abandoned the provious practico of taking connsel with Congressmen shnply beeause thoy were Congressmen, and thns contined himselt to Oblu Influences, If he wanted a good Supreme Judge or o good whisky-gauger he recurred lmmediately to Ohlo ns lkely to furnish tho best materinl, 11 ofllces were to be filled at Washington or in some State unfortunutely remote from Ohlo his first thought would be to ascertaih whether somo man could be found thero -whom he had formerly known In Ohlo, It was only by this course that President Hayes could satisfy his own consclence that lie was making proper appointments, It may have been unfortunate for some people who were not * Ohio men ” that President Hayes had n consclence, or that, having o conscience, 1t had been so strletly schooled to the Ohlo iden, but ne coulll not réasonnbly be ex- peeted to stratigle his ‘consclence on that ne- count. Ife hus done the best he could—for Ohlo. A REPLY TO "“A REPLY T0 THE 'FOOL'S ERRAND. " In a recent Issue of ‘I'nx TRINUSE, the substance of a reply to Judge Tourgtu's well-known political brochure, A Fool's'| Frrfud,” made by Mr. Royall; n Southerner, now residing in New Yorl City, was printed. Judgo ‘Tourgée himself hay now replied to “thoreply” in ulong communieation to tho New'York Tribune, some polnts of which witl be of Interest. As Mr. Royall dovoted a Inrge part of his veply to an ussault upon JudgoTourgéa ns n carpet-bagger, theJudge rushes to the rescue of thatmuch waligned class, and at the outset neatly turns tho tablea upon hls adversary by complimenting him upon his own earpet-bag exploits. Then turning to the-carpet-bng invasion of tho South, which figures so largely in Mr. Royall’s veply, he shows that the nctual num- bor of Northeri-born persons who have gone south ot Mason nnd Dixon's Hue sinee the War is not more than one-tenth of 1 per cunt ot the entire pop ulation. Upon this point, Judge Tourgée says very forcibly: Comparing the returns of tho consus, wo shall find that,while in tho year 1860 thore were 10,103 QBI'KO[II In thoso States who wore barn north of Maton and Dixon's Hae, I 1670 there wore LN~ 611 of Northern birth risldent in tho late Con- federney, making 10,098 to conatituto the Inin- datlon of * Nortborn larvis"1 'Chis givos almost 1,000 persong to 1,000,000 of tho pupulation, or one in 1,000,—one-tenth of 1 por ceat, In North Carolini thore woro 481 more than In 1680, Bouth Curoling, 172 more thun thore wero undor theslavoréxline, Yot thoy were buth * overrun ™1 In Georrhu thoro wore 149 and {u Alnbnmn 503 leas than ut tho boglnning of tho decndo, Yot they wore also *overrun !
